 19  2016 Management Outlook  Category  Outlook  Lending  Continued growthGoal of high single digit % overall loan growth in 2016, primarily supported by increases in commercial loans, consumer loans and mortgage loans with payment plan receivables relatively stable. Expect much of this growth to occur in the last three quarters of 2016. This growth forecast also assumes a stable Michigan economy. 1Q’16: $1.54 billion of total portfolio loans at 3/31/16, annualized growth rate of 6.4%. On track.  Net Interest Income  Accelerating growth over 2015Goal of mid-single digit % increase in net interest income over 2015. Pressure on the net interest margin has largely abated. Growth in net interest income in 2016 vs. 2015 due primarily to growth in loans as described above and somewhat higher short-term interest rates. Forecast assumes two 0.25% increases in the federal funds rate (one in mid 2Q’16 and one in early 4Q’16) and long-term rates up slightly over year end 2015 levels. 1Q’16: Actual net interest income of $19.8 million vs. $18.1 million in 2015, growth of 9.3%. On track.  Provision for Loan Losses  Steady to slightly improving asset quality metricsVery difficult area to forecast. Future provision levels will be particularly sensitive to loan net charge-offs, watch credit levels, loan default volumes, and TDR portfolio performance. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was at 1.49% at 12/31/15. Any credit provision in 2016 would largely be a function of recoveries of previously charged-off loans, pay-downs in the TDR portfolio (permitting the release of specific reserves) and low levels of new loan defaults. 1Q’16: Actual credit provision of $0.5 million with net recoveries of $0.5 million. Asset quality trends continue to be stable to slightly improving.  Non-interest Income  Forecasted quarterly range of $9.5 million to $10 million with total for the year similar to 2015Expect mortgage-banking revenues and mortgage lending volumes in 2016 to be slightly lower than 2015. Expect higher service charges on deposits (new account acquisition program) and comparable interchange income in 2016 vs. 2015. 1Q’16: Actual non-interest income of $7.8 million vs. $9.0 million in 2015. First quarter of 2016 includes $1.45 million impairment charge on MSRs. Excluding MSR impairment charge and security gains, still below low end of range ($9.1 million vs. $9.5 million). For balance of 2016, expect to move up to at least the low end of forecast range with seasonal increases in mortgage-banking revenues and interchange income and service fees on deposits moving up from 1Q’16 levels.  Non-interest Expense  Forecasted quarterly range of $21 to $22 million with full-year low-single digit % decline vs. 2015The expected decline in non-interest expenses compared to 2015 is primarily concentrated in occupancy and equipment, data processing and loan and collection costs. 1Q’16: Actual non-interest expense of $22.0 million vs. $22.2 million in 2015. Expect to move towards $21.3 million in 2Q’16 with specific declines outlined on page 13.   Income TaxesDiluted share count  Approximately 32% in 2016. 1Q’16: Actual effective income tax rate of 32.3%. For last three quarters of 2016: Approximately 21.5 million shares based on March 31, 2016 figures. 

 20   Strategic Initiatives  Balance SheetGenerate quality loan growth with continued focus on commercial and consumer installment lending as well as salable mortgage loans. May consider augmenting loan growth with selective in-market whole loan purchases.Remain asset sensitive and positioned to benefit from higher interest rates (short duration investment portfolio, large variable rate loan portfolio and strong core deposit base with a significant amount of small to medium balance transaction accounts).Prudent capital management. Target TCE ratio – 9.50% to 10.50% near-term and 8.50% to 9.50% longer-term. Priorities are: (A) capital retention to support (1) organic growth and (2) acquisitions; and (B) return of capital through (1) strong and consistent dividend and (2) share repurchase.2016 share repurchase plan approved for up to 5% of outstanding common shares. 1.06 million shares (4.8% of outstanding common shares) repurchased in 1Q’16.Quarterly cash dividend rate currently at eight cents per share. Income StatementGenerate increased net interest income through change in earning asset mix (increased loans to deposits ratio and reduced level of investment securities).Increase non-interest income with focus on transaction related revenue (treasury management and debit card) and mortgage banking revenue.Continued reductions in non-interest expenses (credit related costs, branch optimization, process re-engineering and outsourcing).Improved efficiency ratio: Low 70% range near-term and mid 60% range longer-term. Achieve improvements through combination of revenue growth and expense reductions. ROA of 1% or better by end of 2016.Enterprise Risk ManagementContinued asset quality improvements.Meet increased compliance and regulatory requirements.Focus on data security and loss prevention.
