DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
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 26 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, credit unions, 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.
The Bank's primary market area is Monroe County, Michigan. According to the most recent market data, there are ten other deposit taking/lending institutions competing in the Bank's market. According to the most recent market data for deposits, the Bank ranks first in market share in Monroe County with 56.82% of the market. In 2001, the Bank began expanding into Wayne County, Michigan, and currently ranks seventeenth out of thirty-two institutions with a market share of 0.28%. For the combined Monroe and Wayne County market, the Bank ranks sixth of thirty-five institutions with a market share of 3.46%.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
MBT Financial Corp., as a bank holding company, is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHC Act), and is subject to the supervision and examination of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve Board). The BHC Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board for a bank holding company to acquire or hold more than a 5% voting interest in any bank. The
BHC Act allows interstate bank acquisitions anywhere in the country and interstate branching by acquisition and consolidation in those states that have not opted out by January 1, 1997.
In addition, MBT Financial Corp. is generally prohibited by the BHC Act from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiaries. MBT Financial Corp. may, however, subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, engage in, or acquire shares of companies engaged in activities which are deemed by the Federal Reserve Board by order or by regulation to be so closely related to banking or managing and controlling a bank as to be a proper activity.
On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act") was enacted into law. The GLB Act made sweeping changes with respect to the permissible financial services which various types of financial institutions may now provide. The Glass-Steagall Act, which had generally prevented banks from affiliation with securities and insurance firms, was repealed. Pursuant to the GLB Act, bank holding companies may elect to become a "financial holding company," provided that all of the depository institution subsidiaries of the bank holding company are "well capitalized" and "well managed" under applicable regulatory standards.
Under the GLB Act, a bank holding company that has elected to become a financial holding company may affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. Activities that are "financial in nature" include securities underwriting, dealing and market-making, sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies, insurance underwriting and agency, merchant banking, and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. MBT Financial Corp. has not elected to become a financial holding company.
MBT Financial Corp.'s banking subsidiary is subject to limitations with respect to transactions with affiliates.
A substantial portion of the MBT Financial Corp.'s cash revenues is derived from dividends paid by its subsidiary bank. These dividends are subject to various legal and regulatory restrictions.
MBT Financial Corp.'s banking subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (the "Bank") is subject to primary supervision, regulation and examination by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Federal regulators adopted risk-based capital guidelines and leverage standards for banks and bank holding companies. A discussion of the impact of risk-based capital guidelines and leverage standards is presented in Note 13 of the MBT Financial Corp. financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) provides that a holding company's controlled insured depository institutions are liable for any loss incurred by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in connection with the default of any FDIC-assisted transaction involving an affiliated insured bank or savings association.
Noncompliance with laws and regulations by financial holding companies and banks can lead to monetary penalties and/or an increased level of supervision or a combination of these two items. Management is not aware of any current instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations and does not anticipate any problems maintaining compliance on a prospective basis. Recent regulatory inspections and examinations of MBT Financial Corp. and the Bank have not disclosed any significant instances of noncompliance. The minor instances of noncompliance detected during these inspections and examinations were promptly corrected by management and no action was taken by the regulators against MBT Financial Corp. or the Bank.
The earnings and growth of MBT Financial Corp. are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve
Board. Its policies influence the amount of bank loans and deposits and the interest rates charged and paid thereon, and thus have an effect on earnings. The nature of future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on the future business and earnings of MBT Financial Corp. and its subsidiary bank cannot be predicted.
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, 2006, Monroe Bank & Trust had 399 full-time employees and 36 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, and a 401(k) plan.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Corporation's common stock is subject to risks inherent to the Corporation's business. The material risks and uncertainties that Management believes affect the Corporation are described below. Before
making an investment decision, investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with all the other information included or incorporated by reference in this report. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties that Management is not aware of or focused on or that Management currently deems immaterial may also impair the Corporation's business operations. This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors.
If any of the following risks actually occur, the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of the Corporation's common stock could decline significantly, and investors would lose all or part of their investment.
RISKS RELATED TO THE CORPORATION'S BUSINESS
INTEREST RATE RISK - The Corporation's earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets such as loans and securities and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the Corporation's control, including general economic and market conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest the Corporation receives on loans and investment securities and the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect the Corporation's ability to originate loans and obtain deposits and the fair values of the Corporation's financial assets and liabilities. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate or decrease at a slower rate than the interest rates received on loans and investments, the Corporation's net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected.
Although Management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on the Corporation's results of operations, any substantial, unexpected, or prolonged change in market interest rates or in the term structure of interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations. See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in this report for further discussion related to the Corporation's management of interest rate risk.
LENDING RISK - There are inherent risks associated with the Corporation's lending activities. These risks include, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and changes in economic conditions in the markets where the Corporation operates as well as those across the State of Michigan and the United States. Increases in interest rates and/or weakening economic conditions could adversely impact the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or the value of the collateral securing these loans. The Corporation is also subject to various laws and regulations that affect its lending activities. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject the Corporation to regulatory enforcement action that could result in the assessment of significant civil money penalties against the Corporation.
As of December 31, 2006, more than 80% of the Corporation's loan portfolio was secured by real estate. These types of loans are generally viewed as lower risk of default than commercial and industrial or consumer loans. The Corporation's loan portfolio contains a significant amount of non-performing loans. The Corporation's portfolio also contains some loans with relatively large balances, and the deterioration of one or a few of these large loans could cause a significant increase in non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses, and an increase in loan charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations.
The Corporation maintains an Allowance for Loan Losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, that represents Management's best estimate of probable loan losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The Allowance, in the judgment of Management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of the Allowance reflects
Management's continuing evaluation of loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, present economic, political, and regulatory conditions, and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the Allowance inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Corporation to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans, and other factors, both within and outside of the Corporation's control, may require an increase in the Allowance. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Corporation's Allowance and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different from those of Management.
ECONOMIC RISK - The Corporation's success depends significantly on the general economic conditions of the State of Michigan. Unlike larger regional or national banks that are more geographically diversified, the Corporation provides banking and financial services to customers primarily in Southeast Michigan and Northwest Ohio. The local economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on the demand for the Corporation's products and services as well as the ability of the Corporation's customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans, and the stability of the Corporation's deposit funding sources. A significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, unemployment, changes in securities markets or other factors could impact these local economic conditions and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations.
COMPETITIVE RISK - The Corporation faces substantial competition in all areas of its operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more financial resources. Such competitors primarily include regional and national banks within the Corporation's market. The Corporation also faces competition from many other types of financial institutions, including savings and loan institutions, credit unions, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, and other financial intermediaries. The financial services industry could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory, and technological changes and continued consolidation. Banks, securities firms, and insurance companies can merge under the umbrella of a financial holding company, which can offer virtually any type of financial service, including banking, securities underwriting, and insurance. Also, technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Many of the Corporation's competitors have fewer regulatory constraints, and may have lower cost structures. Additionally, many competitors may be able to achieve economies of scale, and as a result, may offer a broader range of products and services as well as better pricing for those products and services than the Corporation can. Increased competition could adversely affect the Corporation's growth and profitability, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations.
REGULATORY RISK - The Corporation is subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors' funds, federal deposit insurance funds, and the banking system as a whole, not shareholders. These regulations affect the Corporation's lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, and growth, among other things. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations, and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations, or policies, could affect the Corporation in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject the Corporation to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products the Corporation may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial products and services, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations, or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties, and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition, and results of operations. While the Corporation has policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur.
FAILURE OR CIRCUMVENTION OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES - Management regularly reviews and updates the Corporation's internal controls, disclosure controls, and procedures, and corporate governance policies and
procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of the Corporation's controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, results of operations, and financial condition.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical facts and are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond the Corporation's control), may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "continue," or similar terms or variations on those terms, or the negative of these terms. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements, due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, those related to the economic environment, particularly in the market areas in which the company operates, competitive products and pricing, fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. Government, changes in government regulations affecting financial institutions, including regulatory fees and capital requirements, changes in prevailing interest rates, acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses, credit risk management, asset/liability management, the financial and securities markets and the availability of and costs associated with sources of liquidity.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - The Bank's Allowance for Loan Losses is a "critical accounting estimate" because it is an estimate that is based on assumptions that are highly uncertain, and if different assumptions were used or if any of the assumptions used were to change, there could be a material impact on the presentation of the Corporation's financial condition. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, collateral values and the effect of economic conditions on the financial condition of the borrowers. To determine the Allowance for Loan Losses, the Bank estimates losses on all loans that are not classified as non-accrual or renegotiated by applying historical loss rates to those loans in accordance with SFAS 5. In addition, all loans that are nonaccrual or renegotiated are individually tested for impairment. Any amount of monetary impairment is included in the Allowance for Loan Losses in accordance with SFAS 114. Management is of the opinion that the Allowance for Loan Losses of $13,764,000 as of December 31, 2006 was adequate.
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of fair value or the loan carrying amount at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by Management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Net Income decreased 79.0% in 2006 from $18.0 million to $3.8 million as the bank conducted strategic initiatives to abate the reduction in its net interest margin and improve its asset quality. In the second quarter the Bank sold $83 million of its federal agency securities portfolio at a loss of $5.0 million, reinvesting the proceeds in federal agency securities that provided higher yields and better interest rate risk management characteristics. In the third quarter, the Bank sold $25.0 million of credit related assets, including non-performing loans, troubled performing loans, and Other Real Estate Owned. This sale required a charge to the Provision for Loan Losses of $10.4 million.
The Fed raised the fed funds rate at their first four meetings in 2006. The treasury yield curve became inverted, contributing to the 8.8% decrease in net interest income. The net interest income was also negatively impacted because the Bank utilized a deposit pricing strategy that restricted asset growth. The Bank's asset yields are primarily influenced by the longer end of the treasury yield curve while its funding costs are more closely related to the shorter end of the curve. With the inversion of the yield curve, any balance sheet growth would have been at a very small spread and may have resulted in an increase in interest rate risk. By keeping the rates on certificates of deposit low, we were able to control the decrease in our net interest margin, but the lack of asset growth contributed to the decrease in net interest income. During 2006, the yield on earning assets increased from 6.00% to 6.42% while the average earning assets only increased $0.9 million. As a result, the interest income increased 6.9% from $89.7 million to $95.9 million. The cost of earning assets increased from 2.58% to 3.30% and the interest expense increased 27.7% from $38.6 million to $49.3 million. The Net Interest Margin decreased from 3.42% to 3.12% and the net interest income decreased $4.5 million, or 8.8%.
The Provision for Loan Losses increased $9.6 million, or 138.6%. This occurred primarily due to the write down of the loans that were sold in the third quarter. The Bank continues to have an elevated level of non-performing assets, but the sale helped reduce the amount of Problem Assets from $90.5 million at December 31, 2005 to
$58.8 million at December 31, 2006. The Bank defines Problem Assets as non-performing loans, other real estate owned, and performing loans that have been internally classified as potential problem loans.
Non interest income decreased $4.9 million, or 34.0% in 2006 due to the loss on the sale of investment securities in the second quarter. Wealth management income increased slightly in 2006 as assets under management did not change significantly. Deposit account service charges decreased $167,000, or 14.1% because the earnings credit rate on deposit account balances increased. Other deposit account fees increased $543,000, or 11.7% as NSF fees increased due to an increase in NSF activity and the implementation of a new fee for accounts that remain overdrawn for more than five days. Origination fees and gains on mortgage loans sold decreased $106,000 or 15.9% due to a decrease in mortgage loan originations caused by higher interest rates and slower real estate sales in southeast Michigan. The table below shows the details for the non interest income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, (000s omitted):

Total Non Interest Income $ 9,542 $14,449 $13,776
|
Non interest expenses increased $2.5 million in 2006 compared to 2005. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.3 million. Salary expense increased $726,000 as the implementation of FAS 123(R) caused an increase of $440,000, incentive compensation decreased $292,000 as the Bank did not achieve the profit goal required by its bonus plan, and base salaries and wages increased $578,000, or 4.2%. Occupancy expense decreased in 2006 primarily because depreciation expense was higher in 2005 as the Bank accelerated the depreciation of a parking lot that is now the location of its new headquarters building. Marketing expense increased significantly in 2006 due to increased advertising expenses and the purchase of the naming rights for the new exhibition building at the Monroe County Fairgrounds. Professional fees increased significantly in 2006 due to expenses related to the loan sale in the third quarter and legal and accounting expenses in the fourth quarter to comply with accounting pronouncements and proxy disclosure requirements. Losses on other real estate owned increased during the year as the Bank sold several properties, reducing the amount of OREO assets from $8.3 million to $2.4 million.
Income Before the Provision for Income taxes decreased $21.4 million, or 86.3% in 2006. Due to our tax exempt income on municipal securities, we recorded a tax benefit of $379,000 on taxable income of $3,394,000 in 2006. Net Income decreased $14.2 million, or 79% to $3,773,000.
Net Income decreased 20.4% from $22.6 million in 2004 to $18.0 million in 2005 as the Bank recorded significant increases in the Provision for Loan Losses and in Other Real Estate Owned losses and expenses. The Provision for Loan Losses increased $4,415,000 as net charge offs increased $3,615,000 and losses on the sales and write downs of Other Real Estate Owned increased $845,000. Although credit related charges to earnings increased $5.3 million compared to 2004, non-performing assets decreased $13.5 million during 2005.
The Fed continued to raise managed interest rates in 2005 and the yield curve flattened, contributing to the decrease of 3.0% in the Net Interest Income. Although the Bank manages its assets and liabilities to minimize risk to earnings caused by changes in interest rates, the change in the shape of the yield curve had a negative impact on earnings. The pricing of assets such as investment securities and fixed rate loans is influenced by the long end of the yield curve while the pricing of liabilities such as Money Market Deposits, Certificates of Deposit, and variable rate borrowings is influenced by the short end of the yield curve. During 2005, the yield on earning assets increased from 5.68% to 6.00% and interest income increased $9,992,000, or 12.5%. The cost of earning assets increased from 1.93% to 2.58% and interest expense increased $11,585,000, or 42.9%. The result was a decrease in the Net Interest Margin from 3.75% to 3.42% and a decrease of $1,593,000 in Net Interest Income.
Non interest income increased 4.9%, or $673,000 in 2005 due to improvements in Wealth Management income and Other Deposit Account Related Fees, which includes fees assessed for overdrawn checking accounts. Non interest expenses increased only 3.7%, from $32.6 million in 2004 to $33.8 million in 2005. Salaries and benefits increased only 0.8%, or $139,000 due to a reduction of $611,000 in the bonus compensation. The profit goal was not accomplished in 2005 and bonuses were not paid to the executive officers.
Income Before the Provision for Income taxes decreased $6.5 million, or 20.8% in 2005. The effective tax rate decreased from 28.0% in 2004 to 27.6% in 2005. The decrease in Income Before Taxes and the decrease in the effective tax rate resulted in a decrease of $1.9 million or 21.8% in the Provision for Income Taxes. Net Income decreased $4.6 million, or 20.4% to $18.0 million.
Net Income increased 17.0% in 2004 to $22.6 million as the economy continued to gain strength and the Fed began to raise managed interest rates. Net Interest Income increased $2.4 million as the average earning assets increased $37.6 million and the net interest margin increased from 3.67% to 3.75%. During 2004, Net Loans increased $83.4 million, or 9.8%, and Deposits increased $61.6 million, or 5.9%. The Bank also increased its longer term Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and Repurchase Agreements while reducing its overnight federal funds borrowed. The most significant improvement in the earnings was due to the decrease of $5.5 million, or 68.9%, in the Provision for Loan Losses. This decrease was due to the exceptionally large provision recorded in 2003. Non Interest Income decreased slightly in 2004 as securities gains and mortgage origination fees both declined as rates began to rise. Excluding these two items, non interest income increased $937,000, or 8%, compared to 2003. Non Interest Expenses increased $2.4 million, or 8.1%, primarily due to increases in compensation and occupancy expenses related to the Bank's expansion efforts into the Downriver area of southern Wayne County. As a result of the above, Income Before the Provision for Income Taxes increased $5.4 million, or 21.0% in 2004. The percentage of the Bank's income that is generated by tax exempt securities and Bank Owned Life Insurance decreased in 2004, causing the effective tax rate to increase from 25.5% in 2003 to 28.0%. The increase in Income Before Taxes and the increase in the effective tax rate resulted in an increase of $2.2 million or 32.7%, in the Provision for Income Taxes. Net Income increased $3.3 million, or 17%, to $22.6 million.
Earnings for the Bank are usually highly reflective of the Net Interest Income. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the Federal Reserve raised the fed funds target rate at their first four meetings in 2006, from 4.25% to 5.25%. At the same time, the yield on the ten-year U. S. Treasury Note only increased from 4.39% to 4.70%. This inversion of the yield curve had a negative impact on the Bank's Net Interest Margin, which declined from 3.42% in 2005 to 3.12% in 2006. Loan and investment yields more closely follow long term market yields, and the yield on our loans increased from 6.71% in 2005 to 7.02% in 2006. The yields on our investment securities increased from 4.75% in 2005 to 5.15% in 2006, largely due to the restructuring of the investment portfolio in the second quarter of 2006. Funding costs are more closely tied to the short term rates, and the average cost of our deposits increased from 2.08% in 2005 to 2.73% in 2006 and our average cost of borrowed funds increased from 5.05% in 2005 to 5.77% in 2006. As a result, the net interest income decreased 8.8% in 2006. In 2005, the FOMC raised the fed funds target at each of their eight meetings, increasing the rate from 2.25% to 4.25%. During this time, the yield on the ten-year U. S. Treasury Note only increased from 4.22% to 4.39%. This flattening of the yield curve began to cause our net interest margin to decline from 3.75% to 3.42% as our cost of funds began to rise faster than our asset yields. In 2004, the FOMC raised the fed funds rate for the first time since 2000 as the economic recovery continued. During the year, the fed funds target rate was increased five times, from 1.00% to 2.25%. In spite of these increases, rates on new and renewing loans were still below the average rates in the loan portfolio. As a result, the average yield on loans decreased from 6.73% in 2003 to 6.30% in 2004. Investment yields did improve slightly and the cost of funds decreased, resulting in an increase in the net interest margin and net interest income. The average cost of interest bearing deposits was 3.16%, 2.42%, and 1.65% for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The following table shows selected financial ratios for the same three years.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL - The Corporation has maintained sufficient liquidity to fund its loan growth and allow for fluctuations in deposit levels. Internal sources of liquidity are provided by the maturities of loans and securities as well as holdings of securities Available for Sale. External sources of liquidity include a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Federal funds lines that have been established with correspondent banks, and Repurchase Agreements with money center banks that allow us to pledge securities as collateral for borrowings. As of December 31, 2006, the Bank utilized $256.5 million of its authorized limit of $275 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and $3.5 million of its $110 million of federal funds lines with its correspondent banks.
Total stockholders' equity of the Corporation was $136.1 million at December 31, 2006 and $151.6 million at December 31, 2005. The ratio of equity to assets was 8.7% at December 31, 2006 and 9.3% at December 31, 2005. Federal bank regulatory agencies have set capital adequacy standards for Total Risk Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk Based Capital, and Leverage Capital. These standards require banks to maintain Leverage and Tier 1 ratios of at least 4% and a Total Capital ratio of at least 8% to be adequately capitalized. The regulatory agencies consider a bank to be well capitalized if its Total Risk Based Capital is at least 10% of Risk Weighted Assets, Tier 1 Capital is at least 6% of Risk Weighted Assets, and Leverage Capital Ratio is at least 5%.
The following table summarizes the capital ratios of the Corporation:
December 31, December 31, Minimum to be
2006 2005 Well Capitalized
----------- ------------ ----------------
Leverage Capital 8.9% 9.6% 5.0%
Tier 1 Risk Based Capital 12.8% 13.7% 6.0%
Total Risk Based Capital 14.0% 15.0% 10.0%
|
At December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank was in compliance with the capital guidelines and is considered "well-capitalized" under regulatory standards.
Market risk for the Bank, as is typical for most banks, consists mainly of interest rate risk and market price risk. The Bank's earnings and the economic value of its equity are exposed to interest rate risk and market price risk, and monitoring this risk is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the Bank. The Bank's market risk is monitored monthly by the ALCO.
The following table shows the investment portfolio for the last three years (000s omitted).

(1) Interest income on Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions is not on a taxable equivalent basis.
(2) Total Loans excludes Overdraft Loans, which are non-interest earning. These loans are included in Other Assets. Total Loans includes nonaccrual loans. When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, all accrued and unpaid interest is charged against interest income. Loans on nonaccrual status do not earn any interest.

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 position. The percentage of securities held as Available for Sale was 85% as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. As reflected in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the percentage of securities that mature within five years was 21% as of December 31, 2006 and 17% as of December 31, 2005. The following table 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 was thirty-four percent in 2006.

Our loan policies also reflect our awareness of the need for liquidity. We have short 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, 2006. The repricing assumptions shown are consistent with those established by the Bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). Savings accounts and interest bearing demand deposit accounts are non-maturing, variable rate deposits, which may reprice as often as daily, 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. 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 2007, we expect the FOMC to maintain short term managed rates at their current levels through the first half of the year as the economic growth and potential for inflation appear to have stabilized. While the fed was removing accommodation from the second half of 2004 through the first half of 2006, longer term market rates have not kept pace, and we are now experiencing an inversion of the yield curve. This shape of the yield curve historically has preceded a decline in economic conditions and interest rates; however, due to the increased impact of global events on our economy, we cannot assume that we are headed for a downturn in economic conditions and a change to more accommodative monetary policy. Rather than trying to predict when positive slope will return to the yield curve, and whether it will occur as the long end increases or the short end decreases, we will continue to manage our balance sheet to control overall interest rate risk and to minimize the negative effect the prolonged flat or inverted yield curve has on our net interest margin. In the near term, our focus will be on controlling the decline in our net interest margin by trying to slow the rate of increase in our interest expense. We will also attempt to continue to increase the percent of our assets that are invested in loans by growing our loan portfolio in the northern and southern parts of our market area. We plan to continue to limit our growth in total assets, funding the loan growth through maturities and sales of investment securities.
The domestic automotive industry continues to struggle and we are experiencing localized economic weakness in southeast Michigan. The housing market slowed during 2006 and the rate of increase in property values is slowing. We expect total loans to increase between five and ten percent in 2006. We opened a new full service branch in Dundee, Michigan in 2006. The Dundee area is the fastest growing area in our market, and it is expected to contribute to our projected increases in loans and deposits in 2007. We also continue to have good growth prospects in the southern Wayne County portion of our market, and our southern Monroe County branches, which serve customers in northwest Ohio. Although we do not expect significant asset growth, we anticipate that we will be able to improve our net interest income slightly in 2007.
In 2006 we increased our Provision for Loan Losses significantly in order to write down the assets that we sold in the third quarter and to increase the general allocation portion of our Allowance for Loan Losses due to our
concerns about regional economic conditions and local real estate values. We believe that our Allowance for Loan Losses provides adequate coverage for the losses in our portfolio, and we expect that we will be able to maintain the adequacy of the allowance while reducing our Provision for Loan Losses more than 75% from the level recorded in 2006. We believe that we will be able to decrease the Provision for Loan Losses because we do not anticipate a significant decline in economic conditions or real estate values in our market area.
We anticipate that a decrease in losses on the sales of investment securities and improvements in service charges and other fees will result in a sizable increase in non interest income. We expect non-interest expenses to increase less than five per cent as lower OREO expenses and lower legal and other professional fees will offset increases in other expenses. Primarily due to the anticipated decrease in the Provision for Loan Losses, we expect Net Income to increase significantly in 2007.
The following table shows the loan portfolio for the last five years (000s omitted).

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 loans and pools of homogeneous loans, portfolio seasoning, changes in collateral values, and detailed reviews of specific loan relationships. For loans deemed to be impaired due to an expectation that all contractual payments will probably not be received, impairment is measured by comparing the Bank's recorded investment in the loan to the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, 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, decreased $3.9 million, or 15%, from 2005 to 2006. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets at year-end decreased from 1.6% in 2005 to 1.4% in 2006. The Allowance for Loan Losses as a percent of nonperforming assets at year-end increased from 51.5% in 2005 to 61.1% in 2006.
The provision for loan losses increases the allowance for loan losses, a valuation account which appears 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.
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, 2006 and 2005.

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 2006, 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.

The Bank's ALCO has established limits in the acceptable amount of interest rate risk, as measured by the change in economic value of the Bank's equity, in its policy. The Bank has reduced its average equity as a percent of assets each year since 2003. During 2005, the Bank revised its policy limits to reduce the limits on changes in the economic value of equity from 25% to 20% in the 200 basis point rate shift and from 15% to 10% in the 100 basis point rate shift. Throughout 2006, the estimated variability of the economic value of equity was within the Bank's established policy limits.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries Monroe, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each year in the three year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each year in the three year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As described in Notes 1 and 9 to the financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB 158 Employer's Accounting for Defined Benefit Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans, as of December 31, 2006.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 5, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

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 wholly owned subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (the "Bank"). The Bank includes the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, MBT Credit Company, Inc. and MB&T Financial Services, Inc. The Bank operates twenty-two offices in Monroe County, Michigan and four offices in Wayne County, Michigan. MBT Credit Company, Inc. operates a mortgage loan office in Monroe County. The Bank's primary source of revenue is from providing loans to customers, who are predominantly small and middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals. The Corporation's sole business segment is community banking.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to practice within the banking industry and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term are the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of investment securities, and the valuation of other real estate owned.
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.
SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Most of the Corporation's activities are with customers located within southeast Michigan. Notes 3 and 4 discuss the types of securities and lending that the Corporation engages in. The Corporation does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or to any one customer.
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 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. 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.
LOANS
The Bank grants mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans to customers. Loans are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, adjusted for charge offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in the process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Loans held for sale consist of fixed rate residential mortgage loans with maturities of 15 to 30 years. Such loans are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as non-accrual or renegotiated. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience, adjusted for qualitative factors.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.
FORECLOSED ASSETS (INCLUDES OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED)
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of fair value or the loan carrying amount at the date of the foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by Management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation of $27,552,000 in 2006 and $27,826,000 in 2005. The Bank uses the straight-line method to provide for depreciation, which is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense amounted to $2,353,000 in 2006, $2,781,000 in 2005, and $2,817,000 in 2004.
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.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accounting principles generally require that revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, however, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, and amounts recognized related to postretirement benefit plans (gains and losses, prior service costs, and transition assets or obligations), are reported as a direct adjustment to the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and related tax effects are as follows:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and Cash Equivalents include cash and due from banks and Federal funds sold. Generally, cash equivalents have daily maturities.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the various temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS 123(R), "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" for all share based payments to employees, including grants of stock options and restricted stock units. The amount of compensation is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the required service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options.
FAS 123(R) applies to awards granted or modified after January 1, 2006. Compensation cost is also recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption.
The Company's as reported and pro forma information for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

|
Compensation expense in the pro forma disclosures is not indicative of future amounts, as options vest over several years and additional grants are generally made each year.
The weighted average fair value of options granted was $3.61, $5.10, and $3.52 in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in 2006, 2005, and 2004: expected option lives of seven years for all three; expected volatility of 22.9%, 24.3%, and 25.3%, risk-free interest rates of 4.5%, 3.8%, and 3.8%, and dividend yields of 3.5%, 3.5%, and 3.5%, respectively.
OFF BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FAS No. 158, Employer's Accounting for Defined Benefit Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans ("FAS 158"). FAS 158, which became effective for the Company on December 31, 2006, requires the Company to recognize a liability for its unfunded postretirement benefit plans. FAS 158 requires companies to recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the year in which the changes occur and report those changes in comprehensive income. The Company provides postretirement health benefits to all of its employees hired before January 1, 2007, and postretirement death benefits to certain directors and executive officers.
The standard was effective as of December 31, 2006 for the recognition of our plans' funded status. Upon adoption of the standard, to recognize the amounts currently recorded in the consolidated statement of condition, the Company recorded an after-tax reduction of accumulated other comprehensive income of $2,510,000. The incremental effect of applying FAS 158 on individual line items in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 is as follows (000s omitted):

The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for impairment throughout the year. Impairment is recorded against individual securities, unless the decrease in fair value is attributable to interest rates and management determines that the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in the market value. The fair values of investments with an amortized cost in excess of their fair values at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are as follows (000s omitted):

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 loans and pools of homogeneous loans, portfolio seasoning, changes in collateral values, and detailed reviews of specific loan relationships. For loans deemed to be impaired due to an expectation that all contractual payments will probably not be received, impairment is measured by comparing the Bank's recorded investment in the loan to the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral, or the loan's observable market price.
The provision for loan losses increases the allowance for loan losses, a valuation account which appears on the consolidated balance sheets. 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.

(9) RETIREMENT PLANS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
In 2000, the Bank implemented a retirement plan that included 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. In 2002, the Bank amended its retirement plan to freeze the money purchase plan and retain the 401(k) plan. To ensure that the plan meets the Safe Harbor provisions of the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, the Bank contributes an amount equal to four percent of the employee's base salary to the 401(k) plan for all eligible employees. In addition, an employee may contribute from 1 to 75 percent of his or her base salary, up to a maximum of $15,000 in 2006. The Bank matches the employee's elective contribution up to the first six percent of the employee's annual base salary. 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 $1,188,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, $1,184,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, and $1,257,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. This included profit sharing contributions of one percent in 2005, and three percent in 2004. There was no profit sharing contribution in 2006.
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 $221,000 in 2006, $107,000 in 2005, and $101,000 in 2004. The amount of insurance premium paid by the Bank for retirees is capped at 200% of the cost of the premium as of December 31, 1992.
A reconciliation of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation ("APBO") to the amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in Interest Payable and Other Liabilities at December 31 is as follows (000s omitted):
2006 2005
------- -------
APBO $ 1,890 $ 1,988

---- ---- ----
Net postretirement benefit expense $268 $245 $260
==== ==== ====
|
The APBO as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 was calculated using assumed discount rates of 6.00% and 5.50%, respectively. Based on the provisions of the plan, the Bank's expense is capped at 200% of the 1992 expense, with all expenses above the cap incurred by the retiree. The expense reached the cap in 2004, and accordingly the impact of an increase in health care costs on the APBO was not calculated.
The Bank Owned Life Insurance policies fund a Death Benefit Only (DBO) obligation that the Bank has with each of its active directors, 5 retired directors, 19 active executives, and 5 retired executives. The DBO plan, which replaced previous split dollar agreements, provides a taxable death benefit. The benefit for directors is grossed up to provide a net benefit to each director's beneficiaries based on that director's length of service on the board. 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. The executives' beneficiaries will receive a grossed up benefit that will provide a net benefit equal to two times the executive's base salary if death occurs during employment and a postretirement benefit equal to the executive's final annual salary rate at the time of retirement if death occurs after retirement.
In addition to the contributory postretirement health care benefit plan covering substantially all of its employees, the Company has a noncontributory death benefit plan that covers its executive officers. The Death Benefit Only plan (DBO plan) provides a taxable postretirement benefit to executive officers that is grossed up to provide a net benefit equal to the participant's final salary at retirement. Information for the postretirement death benefits and health care benefits is as follows as of the December 31 measurement date (000s):

(11) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Certain of the Bank's assets and liabilities are financial instruments that have fair values that differ from their carrying values in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 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 (Cash and cash equivalents, Federal funds sold, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, Accrued interest receivable and other assets, Bank Owned Life Insurance, Federal funds purchased, and Interest payable and other liabilities) are estimated to be equal to their carrying values as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Fair value for the Bank's investment securities was determined using the market value at December 31, 2006 and 2005. These Estimated Market Values are disclosed in Note 3.
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, 2006, net of the allowance for loan losses, is $981,379,000, compared to the carrying value of $985,234,000. The estimated fair value of loans at December 31, 2005, net of the allowance for loan losses, was $977,042,000, compared to the carrying value of $975,252,000.
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, 2006 is $501,105,000, compared to the carrying value of $502,137,000. The estimated fair value of other time deposits at December 31, 2005 was $551,648,000, compared to the carrying value of $547,544,000.
FHLB ADVANCES AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
A portion of the Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were 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 putable Federal Home Loan Bank advances at December 31, 2005 is $132,538,000, compared to the carrying value of $130,000,000.
The fair value and carrying value of the variable rate advances at December 31, 2005 is $123,000,000. The estimated fair value of the fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank advance at December 31, 2005 was $3,475,000, compared to the carrying value of $3,500,000.
The estimated fair value of putable Federal Home Loan Bank advances at December 31, 2005 was $134,065,000, compared to the carrying value of $130,000,000. The fair value and carrying value of the variable rate advances at December 31, 2005 was $123,000,000. The estimated fair value of the fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank advance at December 31, 2005 was $3,517,000, compared to the carrying value of $3,500,000.
The estimated fair value of the Securities Sold under Repurchase Agreements at December 31, 2006 was $39,670,000, compared to the carrying value of $40,000,000. The estimated fair value of the Securities Sold under Repurchase Agreements at December 31, 2005 was $35,307,000, compared to the carrying value of $35,000,000.
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.
(12) 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 provision for Federal income taxes consists of the following (000s omitted):
2006 2005 2004

(13) 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.
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, 2006, 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, 2006 that Management believes have changed the Corporation's category. Management believes, as of December 31, 2006, 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).

(15) 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. As of December 31, 2006, the number of shares available under the plan is 159,752. This includes 78,583 shares that were previously awarded that have been forfeited.
Stock Option Awards - 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 2006 and 2005 vest annually, beginning December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. The options granted to key employees in 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2000 are vested as of December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The options granted to non-employee directors in 2002 and 2001 vested on December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
2006 2005 2004
---- ---- ----
Volatility 22.9% 24.3% 25.3%

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. Accordingly, at December 31, 2006, Bank funds available for loans to the Corporation amounted to $15,385,000. The Bank has not made any loans to the Corporation.
Federal and state banking laws place certain restrictions on the amount of dividends a bank may make to its parent company. Michigan law limits the amount of dividends that the Bank can pay to the Corporation without regulatory approval to the amount of net income then on hand. Accordingly, the Bank can pay dividends of $60,085,000 in 2007, in addition to its 2007 net income, without regulatory approval.
(17) 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 balance sheets.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for its other lending activities.
Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent off-balance sheet credit risk at December 31 were as follows (000s omitted):
CONTRACTUAL AMOUNT
2006 2005
------- --------
Commitments to extend credit:
Unused portion of commercial lines of credit $100,265 $130,496
Unused portion of credit card lines of credit 5,802 7,529
Unused portion of home equity lines of credit 20,873 20,258
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written 12,234 12,736
All other off-balance sheet assets 3,922 3,427
|
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 being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Credit card lines of credit have various established expiration dates, but are fundable on demand. Home equity lines of credit are secured by real estate mortgages, a majority of which have ten year expiration dates, but are fundable on demand. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case by case basis. The amount of the collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on Management's credit evaluation of the counter party.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and other business transactions. Approximately $11,041,000 of the letters of credit expires in 2007 and $1,193,000 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.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
CONCLUSION REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
MBT Financial Corp. carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2006, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be in the Corporation's periodic SEC filings.
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of MBT Financial Corp. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. MBT Financial Corp.'s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Corporation's financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
MBT Financial Corp.'s management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework." Based on that assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2006, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting is effective, based on those criteria. Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by Plante & Moran, PLLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing on page 47.
There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries
Monroe, Michigan
We have audited management's assessment included in the accompanying Report of Management on MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management's assessment that MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on COSO criteria. Also in our opinion, MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 based on the COSO criteria.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Balance Sheets of MBT Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders equity and cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 and our report dated March 5, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Management of Monroe Bank has been working to restructure the current Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement ("SDLI"). The reason for this restructuring is twofold. First, under the current SDLI Agreement, an endorsement split dollar arrangement is utilized, which subjects the participant to taxes on imputed income each year. In the later years, this cost can be significant. Second, Monroe Bank has been purchasing Bank Owned Life Insurance policies that are not properly aligned with the participant's benefit, making it difficult to continue to purchase such coverage due to restrictions on how much life insurance the bank may own.
The new Death Benefit Only Plan addresses both of these issues. Under the new Plan, participants will no longer be subject to being taxed on imputed income. In addition, the bank will purchase new life insurance policies that more closely align with participant benefits, and thus will be better able to properly finance the benefits.
Your benefits will not change. Monroe Bank values your contribution and thus is pleased to provide its key executives with this continued benefit. This communication packet will provide you with additional information on this new plan. Included in the packet is an overview of the new plan, as well as a Question & Answer section. Please read this material, then complete the documents/forms listed below.
Steps to Implement the New DBO Plan
- Review the enclosed Plan Overview and Questions & Answers
- Complete the Consent to Insure form, providing information where indicated, and sign.
- Sign the Participation Agreement, indicating your acknowledgement that the current SDLI Agreement will be terminated and that the new DBO Plan will be implemented.
- Place these forms in the pre-addressed envelope provided and return to Monroe Bank.
If you should have any questions regarding the plan, please feel free to call.
Plan Overview
Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement
The current Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement ("SDLI") is provided through an endorsement split dollar life insurance policy with the economic benefit of the policy death benefit imputed as taxable income annually. The benefit provided is a multiple of base salary, per the schedule below:
Years of Service Amount Less than three years $ 500,000 Three to six years $ 600,000 Six to ten years $ 750,000 Ten plus years $1,000,000 |
The cost to the participant for this plan is the tax on the imputed income assessed to the participant until the benefit is actually paid at the participant's death.
Effective March 1, 2006, the SDLI Agreement will be terminated, and replaced with a similar benefit.
New Death Benefit Only Plan
Participant Benefits
Participant benefits will be unchanged from the current plan. Under the new Death Benefit Only ("DBO") Plan, participants will be provided a death benefit per the following schedule:
Years of Service Amount Less than three years $ 500,000 Three to six years $ 600,000 Six to ten years $ 750,000 Ten plus years $1,000,000 |
Implementation of the New SMLIP
The new DBO Plan will be implemented effective March 1, 2006. In order to implement the new DBO Plan, participants must complete the necessary forms to be insured under a new policy, and must sign a Participant Agreement.
Cost to the Participant
Under the new DBO Plan, participants will no longer have imputed income calculated that is subject to income taxes. The new death benefit will be paid to the participant's designated beneficiary, and will be fully subject to income taxes. As a result, Monroe Bank will gross up the amount payable for the tax cost on the benefit paid. As a result, the participant's beneficiary will receive an after-tax benefit that is equal to the benefit under the current plan.
Questions & Answers
1. Q: Why is the current SDLI Agreement being replaced with a new DBO Plan?
A: The current SDLI Agreement uses an endorsement split dollar approach. The bank is the owner of a life insurance policy, with a portion of the death benefit endorsed to the participant. Each year, the participant has an imputed income from his/her portion of the death benefit. The participant is then subject to income taxes on this imputed income. In the later years of the participant's life, this imputed income can become very costly to the participant, who must pay taxes on this amount. The new plan eliminates this imputed income, and thus the related income taxes. In addition, the bank was utilizing certain BOLI policies to finance the SDLI Agreement, making it difficult to align the policy with the benefit being provided. Under the new arrangement, the bank will purchase specially designed life insurance policies that more closely align with the benefits being provided.
2. Q: Will the new DBO Plan change my benefit?
A: No. Your current benefit will not change as a result of the new DBO Plan. Your designated beneficiary will still receive from Monroe Bank a benefit based on the following schedule:
Years of Service Amount Less than three years $ 500,000 Three to six years $ 600,000 Six to ten years $ 750,000 Ten plus years $1,000,000 |
3. Q: How is the new DBO Plan structured?
A: Monroe Bank will purchase a life insurance policy, of which Monroe Bank will be the owner and beneficiary, and you will be the insured. The death benefits will be payable to your designated beneficiary, and will be fully taxable to the recipient. Monroe Bank will gross up the amount payable for the tax cost on the benefit paid. As a result, the participant's beneficiary will receive an after-tax benefit that is equal to the benefit under the current plan.
4. Q: Will I have any ownership rights to the policy that is owned by Monroe Bank?
A: No. Monroe Bank will be the owner and beneficiary of the policies. Participants will have a right to expect the benefit to be paid by Monroe Bank. However, you will have no ownership rights to the life insurance policies.
5. Q: What will be my cost in the new DBO Plan?
A: The participant will incur no cost in the new Plan. At the end of 2006, imputed income will be calculated based on the period from January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2006, the date the SDLI Agreement will be terminated. Income taxes will be due on the amount of the imputed income. As of March 1, 2006, imputed income calculations will cease.
6. Q: How am I involved in the restructuring of the SMLIP?
A: You must complete a Participation Agreement authorizing the release of your participation in the current split dollar agreement. In addition, you will need to complete other insurance forms being provided to you.
7. Q: Is a medical examination necessary to obtain these new policies?
A: No. You will not be required to take a medical examination.
8. Q: Will my health affect my benefit in the restructured DBO?
A: No. Regardless of your health, Monroe Bank will provide the promised benefit.
