MBT FINANCIAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MBT Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (the “Bank”). The Bank includes the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, MB&T Financial Services, Inc. The Bank operates eighteen branches in Monroe County, Michigan, seven branches in Wayne County, Michigan, and 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 Company’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 valuation of other real estate owned, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and the fair value of investment securities.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary for fair statement of results for the interim periods.
 
The significant accounting policies are as follows:
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
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.
 
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
 
While the Company's chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment.

FAIR VALUE
 
The Corporation measures or monitors many of its assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis for assets and liabilities that are elected to be accounted for under The Fair Value Option as well as for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Examples of these include derivative instruments and available for sale securities. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Examples of these non-recurring uses of fair value include certain loans held for sale accounted for on a lower of cost or market basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Corporation uses various valuation techniques and assumptions when estimating fair value.
 
The Corporation applied the following fair value hierarchy:
 
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. The Corporation’s U.S. government agency securities, government sponsored mortgage backed securities, and mutual fund investments where quoted prices are available in an active market generally are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. The Corporation’s borrowed funds and investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.
 
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.  Private equity investments and trust preferred collateralized debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are initially valued based on transaction price and are adjusted to reflect exit values.
 
When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at and/or marked to fair value, the Corporation considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. When possible, the Corporation looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Corporation looks to market observable data for similar assets or liabilities. Nevertheless, certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets and the Corporation must use alternative valuation techniques to derive a fair value measurement.
 
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
No recent accounting pronouncements are expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements. Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 (ASU 2010-20), “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in July 2010. ASU 2010-20 provides new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” amending prior guidance to provide expanded disclosures focused around segments and classes of financing receivables (loans). The additional disclosures include details on our past due loans and credit quality indicators. For public entities, ASU 2010-20 disclosures are required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2010. The expanded disclosures required under ASU 2010-20 are included in Note 5 to these interim statements.
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-02 (ASU 2011-02), “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”. ASU 2011-02 amended guidance clarifying whether a creditor has granted a concession, and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR). The amended guidance also requires the Corporation to disclose new information about TDRs, including qualitative and quantitative information by portfolio segment and class. The amended guidance is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and for purposes of identifying TDRs under the amended guidance, should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. The Corporation is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting the amended guidance on the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards – On January 27, 2011, performance restricted stock units were awarded to certain key executive officers in accordance with the MBT 2008 Stock Incentive Plan that was approved by shareholders on May 1, 2008. Each Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) is equivalent to one share of MBT Financial Corp. common stock. Stock will be issued to the participants following a two year performance period that ends on December 31, 2012. Up to 50% of the aggregate RSUs granted may be earned in each year of the performance period subject to satisfying weighted performance thresholds. Earned RSUs vest on December 31, 2013.

The total expense for equity based compensation was $45,000 in the first quarter of 2011 and $17,000 in the first quarter of 2010.

4. LOANS
 
The Bank makes commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans primarily to customers in Monroe County, Michigan, southern and western Wayne County, Michigan, and surrounding areas. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the automotive, manufacturing, and real estate development economic sectors.

Allowances for loans determined to be impaired are included in the allowance for loan losses. All cash received on nonaccrual loans is applied to the principal balance. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due, restructured loans, nonaccrual investment securities, and other real estate owned. Other real estate owned includes real estate that has been acquired in full or partial satisfaction of loan obligations or upon foreclosure and real estate that the bank has purchased but no longer intends to use for bank premises.

5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
The Company separates its loan portfolio into segments to perform the calculation and analysis of the allowance for loan losses. The six segments analyzed are Agriculture and Agricultural Real Estate, Commercial, Commercial Real Estate, Construction Real Estate, Residential Real Estate, and Consumer and Other. The Agriculture and Agricultural Real Estate segment includes all loans to finance agricultural production and all loans secured by agricultural real estate. This segment does not include loans to finance agriculture that are secured by residential real estate, which are included in the Residential Real Estate segment. The Commercial segment includes loans to finance commercial and industrial businesses that are not secured by real estate. The Commercial Real Estate segment includes loans secured by non-farm, non-residential real estate. The Construction Real Estate segment includes loans to finance construction and land development. This includes residential and commercial construction and land development. The Residential Real Estate segment includes all loans, other than construction loans, that are secured by single family and multi family residential real estate properties. The Consumer and Other segment includes all loans not included in any other segment. These are primarily loans to consumers for household, family, and other personal expenditures, such as autos, boats, and recreational vehicles.

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.

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.

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.

The Company utilizes an internal loan grading system to assign a risk grade to all commercial loans, all renegotiated loans, and each commercial credit relationship. Grades 1 through 4 are considered “pass” credits and grades 5 through 9 are considered “watch” credits and are subject to greater scrutiny. Loans with grades 6 and higher are considered substandard and most are evaluated for impairment. A description of the general characteristics of each grade is as follows:
 
· 
Grade 1 – Excellent – Loans secured by marketable collateral, with adequate margin, or supported by strong financial statements. Probability of serious financial deterioration is unlikely. Possess a sound repayment source and a secondary source. This classification will also include all loans secured by certificates of deposit or cash equivalents.
 
· 
Grade 2 – Satisfactory – Loans that have less than average risk and clearly demonstrate adequate debt service coverage. These loans may have some vulnerability, but are sufficiently strong to have minimal deterioration if adverse factors are encountered, and are expected to be fully collectable.
 
· 
Grade 3 – Average – Loans that have a reasonable amount of risk and may exhibit vulnerability to deterioration if adverse factors are encountered. These loans should demonstrate adequate debt service coverage but warrant a higher level of monitoring to ensure that weaknesses do not advance.
 
· 
Grade 4 – Pass/Watch – Loans that are considered “pass credits” yet appear on the “watch list”. Credit deficiency or potential weakness may include a lack of current or complete financial information. The level of risk is considered acceptable so long as the loan is given additional management supervision.
 
· 
Grade 5 – Watch – Loans that possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness that if not corrected, could increase risk in the future. The source of loan repayment is sufficient but may be considered inadequate by the Bank’s standards.
 
· 
Grade 6 – Substandard – Loans that exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: (1) uncertainty of repayment from primary source and financial deterioration currently underway; (2) inadequate current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor; (3) reliance on secondary source of repayment such as collateral liquidation or guarantees; (4) distinct possibility the Bank will sustain loss if deficiencies are not corrected; (5) unusual courses of action are needed to maintain probability of repayment; (6) insufficient cash flow to repay principal but continuing to pay interest; (7) the Bank is subordinated or unsecured due to flaws in documentation; (8) loans are restructured or are on nonaccrual status due to concessions to the borrower when compared to normal terms; (9) the Bank is contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to deterioration in the loan; or (10) there is deterioration in conditions and the borrower is highly vulnerable to these conditions.
 
· 
Grade 7 – Doubtful – Loans that exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: (1) loans with the weaknesses of Substandard loans and collection or liquidation is not probable to result in payment in full; (2) the primary source of repayment is gone and the quality of the secondary source is doubtful; or (3) the possibility of loss is high, but important pending factors may strengthen the loan.
 
· 
Grades 8 & 9 - Loss – Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that carrying them on the Bank’s financial statements is not feasible.
 
The assessment of compensating factors may result in a rating plus or minus one grade from those listed above. These factors include, but are not limited to collateral, guarantors, environmental conditions, history, plan/projection reasonableness, quality of information, and payment delinquency.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of Management, the collection of additional interest is doubtful. Loans are automatically placed on non-accrual status upon becoming ninety days past due, however, loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not they are past due. All cash received on non-accrual loans is applied to the principal balance. Loans are considered for return to accrual status on an individual basis when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

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 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 or the lack of an active market, and Management determines that the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before a recovery of their amortized costs bases, which may be maturity. The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other than temporarily impaired (in thousands), aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The amount of investment securities issued by government agencies, states, and political subdivisions with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities are primarily the result of market interest rates and not the result of the credit quality of the issuers of the securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other than temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011.

The Trust Preferred CDO Securities are issued by companies in the financial services industry, including banks, thrifts, and insurance companies. Each of the three securities owned by the Company is in an unrealized loss position. The main reasons for the impairment are the overall decline in market values for financial industry securities and the lack of an active market for these types of securities in particular. In determining whether the impairment is not other-than-temporary, the Company analyzed each security’s expected cash flows. The assumptions used in the cash flow analysis were developed following a review of the financial condition of the individual obligors in the pools. The analysis concluded that disruption of our cash flows due to defaults by issuers was currently not expected to occur in one of the three securities owned. As a result of uncertainties in the market place affecting companies in the financial services industry, it is at least reasonably possible that a change in the estimate will occur in the near term. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider this investment to be other than temporarily impaired at  March 31, 2011.

7. 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, Demand deposits, NOW deposits, Savings deposits, Money market deposits, Federal funds purchased, and Interest payable and other liabilities) are estimated to be equal to their carrying amounts as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
 
Fair value for the Bank’s investment securities was determined using the market value in active markets, where available. When not available, fair values are estimated using the fair value hierarchy. In the fair value hierarchy, Level 2 fair values are determined using observable inputs other than Level 1 market prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets. Level 3 values are determined using unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow projections. These Estimated Market Values are disclosed in Note 6. The fair value disclosures required are in Note 8.
 
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.
 
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.
 
FHLB ADVANCES AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
The fair value of fixed and variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances and Securities Sold under Repurchase Agreements, is estimated by discounting the related cash flows using the rates currently available for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
 
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.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2011 and 2009, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.
 
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access.
 
Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
 
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset.
 
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset.

  $ 5,467     $ 3,445  
 
Of the Level 3 assets that were held by the Company at March 31, 2011, the unrealized gain for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $279,000, which is recognized in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company did not have any sales or purchases of Level 3 available for sale securities during the period.
 
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions classified as Level 3 assets. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for these assets presented in the tables above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.
 
The Company owns pooled Trust Preferred Securities (“TRUPs”) with a fair value of $5,467,000 as of March 31, 2011. Trading of these types of securities has increased recently but is primarily conducted on a distress sale or forced liquidation basis. As a result, the Company measures the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, specifically discounted cash flow projections.
 
The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include loans and Other Real Estate Owned. The Company estimated the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, specifically discounted cash flow projections.

Impaired loans categorized as Level 3 assets consist of non-homogenous loans that are considered impaired. The Company estimates the fair value of the loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows using management’s best estimate of key assumptions. These assumptions include future payment ability, timing of payment streams, and estimated realizable values of available collateral (typically based on outside appraisals). Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) consists of property received in full or partial satisfaction of a receivable. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to estimate the fair value of OREO properties.
 
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
 
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition.
 
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the 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.

    4,650       4,710  
All other off-balance sheet commitments
    2,994       -  

 
-20-

 
 
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, and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. 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 counterparty.
 
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.
 
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Introduction
 
MBT Financial Corp. (the “Company) is a bank holding company with one subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust (“the Bank”). The Bank is a commercial bank with a wholly owned subsidiary, MB&T Financial Services. MB&T Financial Services is an insurance agency which sells insurance policies to the Bank. The Bank operates 18 branch offices in Monroe County, Michigan and 7 offices in Wayne County, Michigan. The Bank’s primary source of income is interest income on its loans and investments and its primary expense is interest expense on its deposits and borrowings.

The national economic recovery is continuing slowly, and conditions in southeast Michigan have also begun to improve. Local unemployment rates remain higher than the national average and commercial and residential development property values are still declining slightly while residential property values have shown some improvement. Our total problem assets, which include non performing loans, other real estate owned, non accrual investments, and performing loans that are internally classified as potential problems, increased $1.9 million, or 1.2% during the first quarter of 2011, the second consecutive quarterly increase, causing us to increase our Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) from $21.2 million to $23.4 million. The loan portfolio decreased $24.4 million during the quarter, so the ALLL as a percent of loans increased from 2.82% at December 31, 2010 to 3.21% at March 31, 2011. Although local property values and the unemployment rate have stabilized over the past several quarters, we anticipate a slow recovery in our local markets in 2011. We will continue to focus our efforts on improving asset quality, maintaining liquidity, strengthening capital, and controlling expenses.

Net Interest Income decreased $636,000 compared to the first quarter of 2010 as the net interest margin decreased from 3.13% to 3.11% and the average earning assets decreased $90.1 million, or 7.2%. The provision for loan losses increased from $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $5.8 million in 2011. An increase in the historical loss rates increased the amount of ALLL required. As a result, it was necessary to record a provision that was larger than the net charge offs for the quarter. Non interest income, net of securities transactions, decreased $150,000 compared to last year, primarily due to a decrease in overdraft service charges that resulted from a decrease in NSF check activity. Also, origination fees on mortgage loans sold decreased due to a significant decline in mortgage loan activity. Our ongoing efforts to control costs continue to produce results, and our non interest expenses decreased $174,000, or 1.6% compared to the first quarter of 2010. We expect credit related expenses, including the costs of carrying a high level of Other Real Estate Owned (OREO), to remain high, but we should continue to see meaningful expense improvement in most other areas.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The Company’s Allowance for Loan Losses, Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance, Fair Value of Investment Securities, and Other Real Estate Owned are “critical accounting estimates” because they are estimates that are 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 Company’s financial condition. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, collateral values, the effect of economic conditions on the financial condition of the borrowers, the Company, and the issuers of investment securities, market interest rates, and projected earnings for the Company.

To determine the Allowance for Loan Losses, the Company estimates losses on all loans that are not classified as non accrual or renegotiated by applying historical loss rates, adjusted for current conditions, to those loans. In addition, all non accrual loan relationships over $250,000 and all renegotiated loans are individually tested for impairment. Any amount of monetary impairment is included in the Allowance for Loan Losses.

To determine the fair value of investment securities, the Company utilizes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, or discounted cash flow calculations for investments where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset.

To determine the fair value of Other Real Estate Owned, the Company utilizes independent appraisals to estimate the fair value of the property.

Financial Condition
 
National economic conditions began to recover in the second half of 2009, but regional conditions remained weak until 2010. Local unemployment and property values have stabilized and the economic environment in southeast Michigan is slowly beginning to show improvement. Our nonperforming assets increased 1.9% during the quarter, from $104.1 million to $106.1 million, and total problem assets increased from $157.8 million to $159.7 million. Total loans decreased due to low loan demand, payments received in the ordinary course of business, and charge offs of existing loans. We continued to manage toward a decreased use of high cost wholesale funding, which has helped improve our net interest margin. While some lending opportunities exist, the economy is expected to remain weak in our market area throughout the first half of 2011. The Company expects low deposit growth and a slight reduction in total assets in 2011, and intends to continue to focus efforts on improved credit quality, capital management, and enterprise risk mitigation.

Since December 31, 2010, total loans decreased $24.4 million (3.2%) due to the weak loan demand. At the same time, deposits increased $13.2 million, or 1.3% due to normal seasonal fluctuations. This reduction in loans and increase in deposits resulted in an increase of $37.6 million (9.4%) in cash and investments and an increase of $10.2 million (0.8%) in total assets since the end of 2010. Total capital decreased $3.6 million or 4.8%, resulting from the loss of $4.0 million, partially offset by the decrease of $0.5 million in the accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) due to an increase in the value of our securities available for sale. The common stock component of capital decreased $120,000 during the first quarter. The Corporation commenced a private placement capital offering in the third quarter of 2010, and ended the offering period on March 31, 2011. Most of the stock sales were completed in 2010; however, the total costs of the offering were recorded as a reduction of the capital raised in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in total capital and the increase in total assets caused the capital to assets ratio to decrease from 5.88% at December 31, 2010 to 5.55% at March 31, 2011.

The amount of nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) increased $2.0 million or 1.9% since year end. NPAs include non performing loans, which decreased 1.2% from $81.7 million to $80.7 million, and Other Real Estate Owned and Other Assets (“OREO”), which increased 14.3% from $19.8 million to $22.6 million. Total problem assets, which includes all NPAs and performing loans that are internally classified as substandard, increased $1.9 million, or 1.2%. The Company’s Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) increased $2.2 million since December 31, 2010, resulting from an increase in our FAS 5 general allocation from $14.2 million to $15.7 million due to the increase in historical losses. The FAS 114 specific allocations increased from $6.9 million to $7.8 million primarily due to decreases in the values of commercial real estate collateral. The ALLL is now 3.21% of loans, compared to 2.82% at December 31, 2010. The ALLL is 29.02% of NPLs, compared to 25.98% at year end and 26.85% at March 31, 2010. In light of current economic conditions, we believe that at this level the ALLL adequately estimates the potential losses in the loan portfolio.

Results of Operations – First Quarter 2011 vs. First Quarter 2010
 
Net Interest Income - A comparison of the income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 shows a decrease of $636,000, or 6.8%, in Net Interest Income. Interest income on loans decreased $1.6 million or 13.4% as the average loans outstanding decreased $91.5 million and the average yield on loans decreased from 5.80% to 5.64%. The interest income on investments, fed funds sold, and interest bearing balances due from banks decreased $0.9 million as the average amount of investments, fed funds sold, and interest bearing balances due from banks increased $1.5 million and the yield decreased from 3.27% to 2.37%. An improvement in the term structure of interest rates, a continued low overall level of interest rates, and the maturity and prepayment of some high cost borrowings and brokered certificates of deposit allowed funding costs to decrease considerably. The interest expense on deposits decreased $338,000 or 10.1% even though the average deposits increased $19.9 million as the average cost of deposits decreased from 1.33% to 1.17%. The cost of borrowed funds decreased $1.5 million as the average amount of borrowed funds decreased $114.9 million and the average cost of the borrowings decreased from 4.01% to 2.87%.

Provision for Loan Losses - The Provision for Loan Losses increased from $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net charge offs were $3.5 million during the first quarter of 2011, compared to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. Each quarter, the Company conducts a review and analysis of its ALLL to determine its adequacy. This analysis involves specific allocations for impaired credits and a general allocation for losses expected based on historical experience adjusted for current conditions. Due to an increase in the historical loss percentages, it was necessary to record a provision in excess of the net charge offs in order to maintain an adequate ALLL in the first quarter of 2011. The ALLL is 3.21% of loans as of March 31, 2011, and, in light of current economic conditions, we believe that at this level the ALLL adequately estimates the potential losses in our loan portfolio.

Other Income – Non interest income decreased $378,000, or 9.4% compared to the first quarter of 2010. Service charges and other fees decreased $154,000, or 12.1%, primarily due to a decrease in overdraft fees on checking accounts. The gain on securities transactions decreased $228,000 due to a decrease in investment sales transactions. Origination fees on mortgage loans sold decreased $49,000, or 37.1%.

Other Expenses – Total non interest expenses decreased $174,000 or 1.6% compared to the first quarter of 2010. Most expense categories were flat or decreased due to ongoing cost containment initiatives. Salaries and Employee Benefits decreased $220,000, or 4.3%, due to a decrease in staff and reductions in benefits, including the elimination of the 401(k) matching contribution. Professional fees increased $219,000 primarily due to increases in legal and other professional fees paid for collection activities. Losses on Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) properties increased $205,000 due to larger writedowns of foreclosed property values in 2011. FDIC deposit insurance premium expense increased $215,000 due to an increase in our assessment rate that was effective in the second quarter of 2010.

As a result of the above activity, the Loss Before Income Taxes increased $4.4 million from a profit of $348,000 in the first quarter of 2010 to a loss of $4,042,000 in the first quarter of 2011. No income tax benefit was recorded in either year due to the uncertainty of our expected ability to utilize our existing deferred tax assets.

Cash Flows
 
Cash flows used for operating activities increased from $0.9 million in the first three months of 2010 to $1.6 million in the first three months of 2011. The increase in cash used by operations was not as large as the change in earnings because most of the loss in 2011 was caused by non-cash charges to earnings. Cash flows from investing activities decreased from $3.4 million provided in the first three months of 2010 to $30.1 million used in the first three months of 2011 primarily due to a decrease in the sales, maturities, and redemptions of investment securities. The decrease in the sales of investment securities was due to the sales of federal agency debt and mortgage backed securities in 2010 related to the restructuring of the portfolio in order to shorten the duration and manage interest rate and liquidity risks. In addition, the Corporation surrendered $3.7 million in Bank Owned Life Insurance policies that are no longer required to provide benefits to former employees and directors. The amount of cash provided by financing activities increased in the first three months of 2011 compared to the first three months of 2010 due to the growth in deposits.

Liquidity and Capital
 
The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to fund its lending activity and allow for fluctuations in deposit levels. Internal sources of liquidity include the maturities of loans and securities in the ordinary course of business as well as our available for sale securities portfolio. External sources of liquidity include a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Federal funds line that has been established with our correspondent bank, and Repurchase Agreements with money center banks that allow us to pledge securities as collateral for borrowings. As of March 31, 2011, the Bank utilized $113.5 million of its authorized limit of $265 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, none of its $10 million overdraft line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, and none of its $25 million of federal funds line with a correspondent bank.

The Company’s Funds Management Policy includes guidelines for desired amounts of liquidity and capital. The Funds Management Policy also includes contingency plans for liquidity and capital that specify actions to take if liquidity and capital ratios fall below the levels contained in the policy. Throughout the first three months of 2011 the Company was in compliance with its Funds Management Policy regarding liquidity and capital.

Total stockholders’ equity of the Company was $70.4 million at March 31, 2011 and $74.0 million at December 31, 2010. The ratio of equity to assets was 5.55% at March 31, 2011 and 5.88% at December 31, 2010. 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 the Leverage Capital Ratio is at least 5%.

On July 12, 2010, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with its state and federal regulators. While the Bank is under the Consent Order, it is classified as “adequately capitalized” even if its ratios meet the “well capitalized” guidelines.

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 and it has not changed significantly since year-end 2010.

Item 3. 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, 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 both gradual and sudden increases or decreases of 100, 200, and 300 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 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 2011, the Bank’s interest rate risk has remained within its 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 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 Bank estimates the interest rate risk by calculating the effect of market interest rate changes on that economic value of its equity. For this analysis, the Bank assumes immediate parallel shifts of plus or minus 100, 200, and 300 basis points in interest rates. 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 changes on the market for loans and deposits. In addition, each quarter, the Bank conducts additional analyses that utilize other rate scenarios, such as larger shifts in rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve, to assess the Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk in stress scenarios.

The Bank’s interest rate risk, as measured by the net interest income and economic value of equity simulations, has not changed significantly from December 31, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011, in alerting them in a timely manner to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
