Item 4.02
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

On January 6, 2012, the Board of Directors of FNBH Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), in consultation with management and after working with the regulators of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, First National Bank in Howell (the "Bank"), determined that (a) the previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed August 16, 2011, should be restated to reflect: (i) a $3.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses and related changes to the allowance for loan losses and shareholders’ equity; (ii) $2.6 million of additional loan charge offs originally reported by the Company in the quarter ended September 30, 2011; and (iii) the transfer of a $0.95 million loan to other real estate owned, also originally reported by the Company in the quarter ended September 30, 2011, and (b) the previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed December 2, 2011, should be restated to reflect the aforementioned June 30, 2011 adjustments.  Accordingly, the previously issued consolidated financial statements for such periods should not be relied upon, and the Company intends to file an amendment to its Form 10-Q for each of the periods ended June 30, 2011, and September 30, 2011, as soon as reasonably practicable.

In assessing the adequacy of the Bank's allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL"), the Bank takes into account a number of factors, including current economic conditions and prior loan loss experience. This assessment is inherently subjective.  Based on input from the Bank's federal regulators, a reassessment of certain of these factors was performed and the determination was made to increase the ALLL as of June 30, 2011 by increasing the provision for loan losses by an additional $3.0 million.
 
 
Changes to the previously reported financial results that correspond to the foregoing determinations will be reflected in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2011, and September 30, 2011.  The Bank amended its Call Reports for these periods on Monday, January 9, 2012.

The Company's Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with BDO USA, LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
