 11  Net Interest Margin/Income  HighlightsInterest rate sensitivity profile of the loan and securities portfolios, in combination with a low cost core deposit base, positions us to benefit from a rising interest rate environment.Net interest income decreased in 2Q’16 vs. 1Q’16 due primarily to a decline in interest recoveries, net, on previously charged-off loans of $0.41 million. This was partially offset by average interest-earning assets growth of $48.0 million.Absolute low interest rate environment continues to place some pressure on the net interest margin. 2016 goal is to grow net interest income by 5% to 6% as NIM compression abates and average loans increase.  Net Interest Margin (TE)(%)  Net Interest Income ($ in Millions)  

 12  Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Details  Summary2Q’16 net interest income of $19.630 million, down $133K from 1Q’16. The linked quarter decrease was due to a $348K decrease in interest income and fees on loans and a $46K increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings that was partially offset by a $261K increase in interest income on securities and investments. The decrease in interest income and fees on loans was due to a decline in interest recoveries (net) on previously charged-off or non-accrual loans of $414K. The tax equivalent net interest margin (NIM) decreased 9 bps (3.61% vs. 3.52%) due to a 9 bps decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets. Adjusting for the change in interest recoveries (net) the NIM only fell 2 bps (from 3.54% in 1Q’16 [as adjusted] to 3.52% in 2Q’16).Average yield on new commercial loans was 4.73% on fixed rate (36% of production) and 3.75% on variable rate (64% of production); average yield on new retail loans (mortgage and consumer installment) was 3.82%.Loan Portfolio DetailsCommercial loans: Interest income decreased $379K due to a 28 bps decrease in the average yield (4.54% vs. 4.82%) that was partially offset by a $14.3 million increase in average balance . Interest recoveries (net) decreased by $398K. Adjusting for the change in interest recoveries (net) the average yield only fell 7 bps (from 4.61% in 1Q’16 [as adjusted] to 4.54% in 2Q’16).Mortgage loans (includes loans held for sale): Interest income increased $145K due to a $4.9 million increase in average balance and a 7 bps increase in the average yield (4.20% vs. 4.13%) . Interest recoveries (net) increased by $12K.Consumer installment loans: Interest income decreased $40K due to a 27 bps decrease in the average yield (4.84% vs. 5.11%) that was partially offset by a $9.3 million increase in the average balance . Interest recoveries (net) decreased by $27KPayment plan receivables: Interest income decreased $74K due to a $1.2 million decrease in the average balance and a 43 bps decrease in the average yield (12.85% vs. 13.28%). Other FactorsSecurities and investments: Interest income increased $261K due to a 10 bps increase in the average TE yield (1.88% vs. 1.78%) and a $20.7 million increase in average balance. Deposits and borrowings: Interest expense increased $46K due to an $8.8 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 1 bps increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities (0.44% vs. 0.43%).    Analysis of Linked Quarter Decrease 

 13  Non-interest Income  HighlightsDiverse sources of non-interest income which totaled $9.6 million in 2Q’16.2Q’16 total non-interest income represents approximately 32.8% of total revenue (net interest income and non-interest income).2Q’16 interchange revenue down $0.3 million, or 11.8%, compared to 2Q’15. Although transaction volume increased 4.4% year-over-year, interchange revenue per transaction declined by 8.1%.

 20  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. 1H’16: $1.575 billion* of total portfolio loans at 6/30/16, annualized growth rate of 8.0%. On track. [*6/30/16 balance reduced for $6.7 million in commercial deposit customer overdrafts that were returned on 7/1/16.]  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. 1H’16: Actual net interest income of $39.4 million vs. $36.8 million in 2015, growth of 7.1%. 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. 1H’16: Actual credit provision of $1.3 million with net recoveries of $1.4 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. 1H’16: Actual non-interest income of $17.4 million ($9.6 million in 2Q’16) vs. $19.9 million in 2015 ($11.0 million in 2Q’15). First half of 2016 includes $2.10 million impairment charge on MSRs. Excluding MSR impairment charge and security gains, at low end of range ($19.1 million vs. $19.0 million). For balance of 2016, expect to achieve at least the low end of forecast range with strong mortgage-banking revenues.  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. 1H’16: Actual non-interest expense of $42.9 million ($20.9 million in 2Q’16) vs. $43.7 million in 2015 ($21.6 million in 2Q’15). Expect to be at or below $21.0 million for last two quarters of 2016.   Income TaxesDiluted share count  Approximately 32% in 2016. 1H’16: Actual effective income tax rate of 30.2%. This rate adjusts to 32.1% when eliminating impact of ASU 2016-09.For last two quarters of 2016: Approximately 21.5 million shares based on June 30, 2016 figures. 

 21   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). 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.Enterprise Risk ManagementContinued asset quality improvements.Meet increased compliance and regulatory requirements.Focus on data security and loss prevention.
