                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period
ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Corporation's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1997.

NOTE 2  COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The net income per share amounts are based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. The weighted number of common shares
outstanding were 871,814 as of March 31, 1998, and 862,205 as of March 31, 1997.
The Corporation has no common stock equivalents and, accordingly, presents only
basic earnings per share.

NOTE 3  ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 130

         The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
on January 1, 1998. The Statement establishes standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130 requires that
all components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that

         The following is management's discussion and analysis of the major
factors that influenced IBT Bancorp's financial performance. This analysis

on average assets, which measures the ability of the Corporation to profitably
and efficiently employ its resources, equaled 1.07% for the first three months

NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net interest income equals interest income less interest expense and is
the primary source of income for IBT Bancorp. In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Board (SFAS) No. 91, "Accounting for Loan Fees,"
interest income includes loan fees of $163,000 in 1998 versus $131,000 in 1997.
For analytical purposes, net interest income is adjusted to a "taxable
equivalent" basis by adding the income tax savings from interest on tax-exempt
loans and securities, thus making year-to-year comparisons more meaningful.

TABLE 2:  VOLUME AND RATE VARIANCE ANALYSIS

(Dollars in Thousands)

         The following table sets forth the effect of volume and rate changes on
interest income and expense for the periods indicated. For the purpose of this
table, changes in interest due to volume and rate were determined as follows:

    Volume Variance - change in volume multiplied by the previous year's rate.
    Rate Variance   - change in the fully taxable equivalent (FTE) rate
                      multiplied by the prior year's volume.

         The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated 
to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute 
dollar amounts of the change in each.

NET INTEREST INCOME (CONTINUED)

          As shown in Tables number 1 and 2, when comparing the three month
period ending March 31, 1998 to the same period in 1997, fully taxable
equivalent (FTE) net interest income increased $80,000 or 2.6%. An increase of
6.7% in average interest earning assets provided $317,000 of FTE interest
income. The majority of this growth was funded by a 7.4% increase in interest
bearing deposits, resulting in $236,000 of additional interest expense. Overall,
changes in volume resulted in $81,000 of additional FTE interest income. The
average FTE interest rate earned on assets increased by 0.02%, increasing FTE
interest income by $71,000 and the average rate paid on deposits increased by
0.20%, increasing interest expense by $72,000. The net change related to
interest rates earned and paid was a $1,000 decrease in FTE net interest income.

          The Corporation's FTE net interest yield as a percentage of average
earning assets equaled 4.21% during 1998 versus 4.38% in 1997. The 0.17%
decrease in the net interest yield was primarily a result of the Corporation's
increasing reliance on higher cost deposits such as certificates of deposit and
money market accounts to fund asset growth. In addition to increased reliance on
these funds, the cost of obtaining these funds has risen in relation to other
interest rates. Management expects the Corporation's reliance on higher cost
deposits to fund asset growth to continue.

          The FTE net interest yield will be substantially impacted by the
Bank's purchase of the Old Kent branches. The net proceeds (due to the
assumption of the deposit liabilities) were invested in investment securities.
The investing of these funds was begun in late January 1998. The overall net FTE
interest yield on these additional funds is estimated to be 2.20% versus the
4.21% earned by the Corporation in the first quarter of 1998. Management expects
the Corporation's overall net FTE interest yield as a percentage of average
assets to decline by an average of 0.25% for the remainder of 1998. The
combination of lower interest margins and the write-off related to the $4.2
million deposit premium paid for the Old Kent branch deposits will result in the
Corporation's overall profitability as a percentage of assets (return on assets)
to decline by approximately 0.20% in 1998.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

          The viability of any financial institution is ultimately determined by
its management of credit risk. Loans outstanding represent 60% of the
Corporation's total assets and is the Corporation's single largest concentration
of risk. The allowance for loan losses is management's estimation of potential
future losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. Factors used to evaluate
the loan portfolio, and thus to determine the current charge to expense, include
recent loan loss history, financial condition of borrowers, amount of
nonperforming and impaired loans, overall economic conditions, and other
factors.

          Comparing the year to date period of March 31, 1998 to March 31, 1997,
average loans outstanding increased 1.2%. The provision for loan losses was
decreased 20.3% to $98,000 in the first quarter of 1998 when compared to the
same quarter of 1997. As set forth in Table 3, loans classified as nonperforming
were $774,000 as of March 31, 1998, a $170,000 increase over the prior year. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans equaled 1.33% compared to
1.30% in 1997. In management's opinion, the allowance for loan losses is
adequate as of March 31, 1998.

NONINTEREST INCOME

          Noninterest income consists of trust fees, deposit service charges,
fees for other financial services, and gains and losses on investment securities
available for sale. Income earned from these sources increased $72,000 during
the three month period ending March 31, 1998, compared to the same period in
1997. Significant individual account changes during this period include a
$46,000 increase in gains on the sale of residential real estate mortgages and
student loans, a $16,000 increase in trust income, a $9,000 increase in mortgage
servicing fees, a $9,000 decrease in ATM fees, and a $16,000 decrease in income
earned from the sale of credit life.

          The Corporation has established a policy that all 30 year amortized
fixed rate mortgage loans will be sold. These loans are accounted for according
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 and 128 and are sold
without recourse. The Corporation retains the servicing of these loans. The
calculation of gains on the sale of mortgages exclude at least 25 basis points
for the servicing of these loans. Included in other operating income is a
$77,000 gain on the sale of $11.8 million in mortgages during the first quarter
of 1998 versus a $36,000 gain on the sale of $4.0 million in the same period in
1997.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

          Noninterest expense increased $156,000 for the first three months of
1998 when compared to the same period in 1997. Noninterest expense was adversely
impacted during the first quarter of 1998 due to the purchase of Old Kent
branches. Specifically, management estimates that conversion related expenses,
which include salaries, postage, and supplies of about $35,000 were charged to
earnings in the first quarter of 1998.

          The largest component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee
benefits, which increased $93,000 or 7.8%. In addition to increases due to
additional staffing and normal merit and promotional salary increases, the
Corporation incurred additional salary expenses due to an across the board
increase in hourly wages to retain its current technical and clerical employees
and to attract qualified workers in a tight labor market.

         Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased $27,000 or
6.9% in 1998. The most significant changes were increases in automatic teller
machine operating costs, equipment depreciation, and computer expenses. Other
operating expenses increased $36,000, a 6.1% increase. The most significant
increases were in printing and office supplies, postage, and loan acquisition
expenses.

ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

          Since December 31, 1997, total assets increased $41.7 million to
$360.4 million. During the first quarter of 1998, major changes in asset mix
included a $1.8 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $41.9 million
increase in investment securities, and an $800,000 decrease in net loans.
Deposits during this period increased $40.4 million. Interest bearing deposits
increased $37.0 million and noninterest bearing deposits decreased $3.4 million.
The majority of increases in the balance sheet were a result of Isabella Bank
and Trust's purchase of the three Old Kent branches.

LIQUIDITY

          Liquidity management is designed to have adequate resources available
to meet depositor and borrower discretionary demands for funds. Liquidity is
also required to fund expanding operations, investment oppor-tunities, and the
payment of cash dividends. The primary sources of the Corporation's liquidity
are cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities available for sale.

          As of March 31, 1998, cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of
total assets equaled 6.3%, versus 8.9% as of December 31, 1997. During the first
three months of 1998, investing activities used $2.9 million and financing
activity used $2.8 million. The accumulated effect of the Corporation's
operating, investing, and financing activities was a $5.7 million decrease in
cash and cash equivalents during the first three months of 1998.

          In addition to cash and cash equivalents, investment securities
available for sale are another source of liquidity. Securities available for
sale equaled $98.1 million as of March 31, 1998 and $57.4 million as of December
31, 1997. The Corporation's liquidity is considered adequate by management of
the Corporation.

CAPITAL

          The capital of the Corporation consists solely of common stock,
surplus, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income, and
increased approximately $854,000 since December 31, 1997.

          There are significant capital regulatory constraints placed on the
Corporation's capital. The Federal Reserve Board's current recommended minimum
tier 1 and tier 2 capital to average assets requirement is 6.0%. The
Corporation's tier 1 and tier 2 capital to average assets, which consists of
shareholder's equity plus the allowance for loan losses, was 9.5% at March 31,
1998.

          The Federal Reserve Board has established a minimum risk based capital
standard. Under this standard, a framework has been established that assigns
risk weights to each category of on- and off-balance sheet items to arrive at
risk adjusted total assets. Regulatory capital is divided by the risk adjusted
assets with the resulting ratio compared to the minimum standard to determine
whether a bank has adequate capital. The minimum standard is 8%, of which at
least 4% must consist of equity capital net of goodwill. The following table
sets forth the percentages required under the Risk Based Capital guidelines and
the Corporation's ratios as of March 31, 1998:

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Corporation's primary market risks are interest rate risk and, to a lesser
extent, liquidity risk. The Corporation has no foreign exchange risk, holds
limited loans outstanding to agricultural and oil and gas concerns, and holds no
trading account assets. Any changes in foreign exchange rates or commodity
prices would have an insignificant impact, if any, on the Corporation's interest
income and cash flows.

Interest rate risk ("IRR") is the exposure to the Corporation's net interest
income, its primary source of income, to changes in interest rates. IRR results
from the difference in the maturity or repricing frequency of a financial
institution's interest earning assets and its interest bearing liabilities.
Interest rate risk is the fundamental method in which financial institutions
earn income and create shareholder value. Excessive exposure to interest rate
risk could pose a significant risk to the Corporation's earnings and capital.

The Federal Reserve, the Corporation's primary Federal regulator, has adopted a
policy requiring the Board of Directors and senior management to effectively
manage the various risks that can have a material impact on the safety and
soundness of the Corporation. The risks include credit, interest rate,
liquidity, operational, and reputational. The Corporation has policies,
procedures and internal controls for measuring and managing these risks.
Specifically, the IRR policy and procedures include defining acceptable types
and terms of investments and funding sources, liquidity requirements, limits on
investments in long term assets, limiting the mismatch in repricing opportunity
of assets and liabilities, and the frequency of measuring and reporting to the
Board of Directors.

The Corporation uses several techniques to manage interest rate risk. The first
method is gap analysis. Gap analysis measures the cash flows and/or the earliest
repricing of the Corporation's interest bearing assets and liabilities. This
analysis is useful for measuring trends in the repricing characteristics of the
balance sheet. Significant assumptions are required in this process because of
the imbedded repricing options contained in assets and liabilities. A
substantial portion of the Corporation's assets are invested in loans and
mortgage backed securities. These assets have imbedded options that allow the
borrower to repay the balance prior to maturity without penalty. The amount of
prepayments is dependent upon many factors, including the interest rate of a
given loan in comparison to the current interest rates, for residential
mortgages the level of sales of used homes, and the overall availability of
credit in the market place. Generally, a decrease in interest rates will result
in an increase in the Corporation's cash flows from these assets. Investment
securities, other than those that are callable, do not have any significant
imbedded options. Saving and checking deposits may generally be withdrawn on
request without prior notice. The timing of cash flow from these deposits are
estimated based on historical experience. Time deposits have penalties which
discourage early withdrawals.

The second technique used in the management of interest rate risk is to combine
the projected cash flows and repricing characteristics generated by the gap
analysis and the interest rates associated with those cash flows and projected
future interest income. By changing the amount and timing of the cash flows and
the repricing interest rates of those cash flows, the Corporation can project
the effect of changing interest rates on its interest income.

The following table provides information about the Corporation's assets and
liabilities that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of March 31,
1998. The Corporation has no interest rate swaps, futures contracts, or other
derivative financial options. The principal amounts of assets and time deposits
maturing were calculated based on the contractual maturity dates.
Savings and NOW accounts are based on management's estimate of their future cash
flows.
