REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Fentura Financial, Inc.
Fenton, Michigan
Fentura Financial, Inc.
Fenton, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fentura Financial, Inc. as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporations
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Corporations internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Fentura Financial, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and
2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 14, the Corporations bank subsidiary is not in compliance with revised
minimum regulatory capital requirements under a formal regulatory agreement which has imposed
limitations on certain operations. Failure to comply with the regulatory agreement may result in
additional regulatory enforcement actions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial
statements include Fentura Financial, Inc. (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The
State Bank in Fenton, Michigan; and reported as discontinued operations, West Michigan Community
Bank in Hudsonville, Michigan and the other subsidiaries of the Banks. Intercompany transactions
and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
In 2009, the Corporation entered into an agreement to sell one of its bank subsidiaries, Davison
State Bank, to a private, nonaffiliated investor group. This sale closed on April 30, 2010.
Additionally, the Corporation entered into an agreement to sell West Michigan Community Bank to a
bank holding company. This sale closed on January 31, 2011. As a result of these sale agreements,
both subsidiaries are reported as discontinued operations. See Note 13 for further discussion.
The Corporation provides banking and trust services principally to individuals, small businesses
and governmental entities through its nine community banking offices in Genesee, Livingston, and
Oakland Counties in southeastern Michigan. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and
term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial,
and installment loans. Commercial real estate and construction loans are 56.0% of total loans and
other commercial business loans are 20.9% of total loans at December 31, 2010. For the year ended
December 31, 2009, the loan portfolio was composed as follows: commercial real estate and
construction loans 64.0%, of total loans and other commercial business loans 12.8% of total loans.
Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets,
consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from
operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real
estate. The Corporations exposure to credit risk is substantially affected by the economy in the
Corporations market area and by changes in commercial real estate values. While the loan
portfolio is substantially commercial based, the Corporation is not dependent on any single
borrower. Other financial instruments which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk
include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.
The principal source of liquidity of the Corporation is dividends from its bank subsidiaries and
deposits in the subsidiary banks. The Corporations access to liquidity from its banking
subsidiaries is subject to regulatory restrictions, as a result of the Consent Orders entered into
with various banking regulators further described in Note 14. The Banks are currently subject to
restrictions on their ability to make dividend payments without prior regulatory approval. The
Corporation currently believes that it has cash on hand to cover its financial obligations and
expenses for the foreseeable future and is not reliant on new capital funding to meet such
obligations. The Banks primary sources of liquidity are deposits that consist of non-maturing and
maturing time deposits. At December 31, 2010 maturing time deposits consist of brokered deposits
equaling 8.0% of total deposits and other time deposits equaling 29.7% of total deposits. Details
regarding deposits are further described in Note 7 of the Financial Statements.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions
based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance
for loan losses, the fair values of securities and other financial instruments, other than
temporary impairment of securities, the carrying value of other real estate owned and deferred
taxes are particularly subject to change.

December 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents, includes cash, deposits with other financial
institutions under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan
and deposit transactions and short-term borrowings.
Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost
when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are
classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for
sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other
comprehensive income, net of tax.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on
securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for
mortgage-backed securities, where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are based
on the amortized cost of the security sold.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary (OTTI) impairment at least on a quarterly
basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.
In determining OTTI management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the
extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term
prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions,
and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be
required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an
other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is
based on the information available to management at a point in time.
When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity
intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security
before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity
intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before
recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be
recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investments amortized cost basis
and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and
it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before
recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into
the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of
the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows
expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to
other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous
amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of
the investment.
Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future
or until maturity or payoffs are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned
interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale are
reported at the lower of cost or fair value, on an aggregate basis and are sold with servicing
rights released.
Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan
fees and costs over the loan term. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs,
are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating
prepayments. Interest

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired or
payments are past due over 90 days (180 days for residential mortgages).
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual are reversed against interest
income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery
method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the
principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are
reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for
probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by
charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan
loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower
situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of
the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan
that, in managements judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the
allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Consumer
loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans
that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or
doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss
experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio
segments and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Corporation over the most
recent three years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based
on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of
the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in
charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk
selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices;
experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local
economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit
concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified: commercial, commercial real
estate, residential mortgage, installment loans and home equity loans.
A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Commercial and
commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a
portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of
estimated future cash flows using the loans existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if
repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous
loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for
impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Loans
for which the terms have been modified and for which the borrower is experiencing financial
difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and are classified as impaired. Troubled
debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the
loans effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a
collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral.
Other Real Estate Owned and Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan
foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired,
establishing a new cost

basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs
after acquisition are expensed.
Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the
straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 15 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures and
equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 7
years.
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are
required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and
may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted
security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both
cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for
impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future
undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key
executives. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the
insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other
charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.
Stock Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted
stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A
Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price
of the Corporations common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards.
Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting
period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or
refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying
amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation
allowance reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax
position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.
The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being
realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax
benefit is recorded.
The Corporation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax
expense. There was no such interest or penalties in 2010 or 2009.
Loan Commitments and Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance
sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued
to meet customer

financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before
considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when
they are funded.
Earnings (loss) Per Common Share: Basic earnings or loss per common share are net income
or net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless
unearned. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential
common shares issuable under stock options.
Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income (loss) and other
comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on
securities available for sale, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.
Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable
and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now
are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $25,000
and $60,000 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year-end 2010 and
2009 respectively.
Dividend Restrictions: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and
may limit the dividends paid by the Banks to the Corporation or by the Corporation to shareholders.
West Michigan Community Bank and The State Bank have been restricted from dividend payments due to
the signing of Consent Orders with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Holding
Company has been placed under restrictions by The Federal Reserve regarding the declaration or
payment of any dividends and the receipt of dividends from subsidiary Banks.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated
using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate
note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding
interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad
markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly
affect the estimates.
Operating Segments: While the Corporations chief decision-makers monitor the revenue
streams of the various Corporation products and services, operations are managed and financial
performance is evaluated on a Corporate-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Corporations financial
service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating
segment.
Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to
conform to the current presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 2009, the FASB amended previous guidance relating to transfers of financial assets and
eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. This guidance must be applied as of
the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November
15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual
reporting periods thereafter. This guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the
effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly
qualifying special-purpose entities should be evaluated for

consolidation by reporting entities on and after the effective date in accordance with the
applicable consolidation guidance. The disclosure provisions were also amended and apply to
transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The effect of
adopting this new guidance was not material to the Corporation.
In June 2009, the FASB amended guidance for consolidation of variable interest entity guidance by
replacing the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if
any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on
identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity
that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb
losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additional disclosures
about an enterprises involvement in variable interest entities are also required. This guidance is
effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for
interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Early adoption is prohibited. The effect of
adopting this new guidance was not material to the Corporation.
In July 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update, Receivables: Disclosure About the
Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The objective of
this ASU is for an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users
evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the entitys portfolio of financing
receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses,
and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. An entity should
provide disclosure on a disaggregated basis on two defined levels: (1) portfolio segment; and (2)
class of financing receivable. The update makes changes to existing disclosure requirements and
includes additional disclosure requirements about financing receivables, including credit quality
indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing
receivables, the aging of past due financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by
class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses. The
Corporation adopted this update as of December 31, 2010 and the adoption had no impact on its
operations.

NOTE 3 SECURITIES (continued)
As of December 31, 2010, the Corporations security portfolio consisted of 87 securities, 13 of
which were in an unrealized loss position. The majority of unrealized losses are related to the
Corporations collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) as discussed below.
In 2010, the Corporation recognized other-than-temporary impairments totaling $307,000 on four
individual investments. Three of the impairments, totaling $298,000 were recognized on equity
securities
as a result of analysis of the declining performance of the individual institutions. The fourth
totaling $9,000 was on a single collateralized mortgage obligation instrument and was recognized
due to the deterioration of the underlying loans. In 2009, the Corporation recognized
other-than-temporary impairments totaling $288,000 on four individual investments. Three of the
impairments, totaling $209,000 were recognized on equity securities as a result of analysis of the
declining performance of the individual institutions. The fourth totaling $79,000 was on the
previously mentioned collateralized mortgage obligation.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations
The decline in fair value of the Corporations private label collateralized mortgage obligations is
primarily attributable to the lack of liquidity and the financial crisis affecting these markets
and not necessarily the expected cash flows of the individual securities. The ratings held on the
private label securities are AA and A-. The underlying collateral of these CMOs is comprised
largely of 1-4 family residences. In each of these securities, the Corporation holds the senior
tranche and receives payments before other tranches. For private label securities, management
completes an analysis to review the recent performance of the mortgage pools underlying the
instruments. At December 31, 2010, two of the private label securities with an amortized cost of
$3,900,000 have an unrealized loss of $344,000.
The Corporation has also been closely monitoring the performance of the CMO and MBS portfolios. In
2009, there were several CMOs that were downgraded in the market. Management continued to monitor
items such as payment streams and underlying default rates, and did not determine a severe change
in these items. On a quarterly basis, management uses multiple assumptions to project the expected
future cash flows of the private label CMOs with prepayment speeds, projected default rates and
loss severity rates. The cash flows are then discounted using the effective rate on the securities
determined at acquisition. Recent historical experience is the base for determining the cash flow
assumptions and are adjusted when appropriate after considering characteristics of the underlying
loans collateralizing the private label CMO security. As a result of its review, the Corporation
recognized a $9,000 other-than-temporary impairment as a result of incurred credit losses which has
been reflected in the income statement. The security with the credit loss was the Corporations
sole CCC rated security. The Corporation sold this security during the fourth quarter of 2010 and
recognized an additional loss of $136,000.
The Corporation has three agency collateralized mortgage obligations with an unrealized loss of
$114,000. The decline in value is primarily due to changes in interest rates and other market
conditions.
Equity Securities
The Corporations equity investments with unrealized losses are investments into non-public bank
holding companies within Michigan. These securities receive a multi-faceted review utilizing call
report data. Management reviews such performance indicators as earnings, ROE, ROA, non-performing
assets,

brokered deposits and capital ratios. Management draws conclusions from this information, as well
as any published information or trading activity received from the individual institutions, to
assist in determining if any unrealized loss is other than temporary impairment.
Additionally management considers the length of time the investments have been at an unrealized
loss. At the end of the fourth quarter, management performed its review and determined that no
additional other-than-temporary impairment was necessary on the equity securities in the portfolio.
During 2010 OTTI totaling $298,000 was recognized on the Corporations equity securities in bank
holding companies. The impairment was recognized as a result of the length of time these
securities have been at an unrealized loss position.
US Government and federal agencies and state and municipal
Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and
not credit quality, and because the Corporation does not have the intent to sell these
mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities
before their anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider these securities to be
other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:
The Corporation allocated $598,000 and $40,000 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms
have been modified in troubled debt restructuring as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. Renegotiated
loans above are also included with impaired loans. The Corporation has no additional amounts
committed to these customers.
Loans to be acquired from discontinued operations:
As part of the terms of the sale of West Michigan Community Bank, selected non performing assets
will be acquired by a newly formed holding company. The holding company will acquire $1,100,000 of
substandard loans, $4,400,000 of non-accrual loans and $800,000 of real estate in redemption.
These loans have a $1,277,000 of allowance for loan losses allocated as of December 31, 2010.
Additionally, The State Bank will acquire $2,900,000 of watch credit grade loans. The total of all
loans to be acquired is $9,200,000.
Credit Quality Indicators:
The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the
ability of borrowers to service their debts such as: current financial information, historical
payment experience; credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among
other factors. The Corporation analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit
risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate
loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Corporation uses the following
definitions for classified risk ratings:
Watch. Loans classified as watch have a potential weakness that deserves managements close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institutions credit position at some future date. |
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection nor liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The Corporation does not classify loans as doubtful. Loans that approach this status are charged-off. |

Subordinated Debenture and Trust Preferred Securities
A trust formed by the Corporation issued $12,000,000 of trust preferred securities in 2003 as part
of a pooled offering of such securities. The interest rate is a floating rate (LIBOR plus 3.00%)
and the current rate at December 31, 2010 is 3.29%. The Corporation issued subordinated debentures
at the same terms as the trust preferred securities to the trust in exchange for the proceeds of
the offering; the debentures and related debt issuance costs represent the sole assets of the
trust. The Corporation may redeem the
subordinated debentures, in whole but not in part, any time after 2008 at a price of 100% of face
value. The subordinated debentures must be redeemed no later than 2033.
A trust formed by the Corporation issued $2,000,000 of trust preferred securities in 2005 as part
of a pooled offering of such securities. The interest rate is a floating rate (LIBOR plus 1.60%)
and the current rate at December 31, 2010 is 1.88%. The Corporation issued subordinated debentures
at the same terms as the trust preferred securities to the trust in exchange for the proceeds of
the offering; the debentures and related debt issuance costs represent the sole assets of the
trust. The Corporation may redeem the subordinated debentures, in whole but not in part, any time
after 2010 at a price of 100% of face value. The subordinated debentures must be redeemed no later
than 2035.
The Corporation is not considered the primary beneficiary of these trusts, therefore the trusts are
not consolidated in the Corporations financial statements but rather the subordinated debentures
are shown as a liability.
As the subsidiary banks are working to preserve capital and withholding the payment of dividends to
the holding company, the Corporation elected in the first quarter of 2009 to defer interest
payments for five years on $14,000,000 of subordinated debentures. The reason for the interest
deferral is to maintain liquidity at the holding company and the Bank subsidiaries. Accrued
interest payable on the subordinated debentures was $1,027,000 at December 31, 2010 compared to
$577,000 at December 31, 2009. The Corporation is not in default under either of the indentures.
During this five year period, the Corporation is precluded from paying dividends on its outstanding
common stock. The Corporation subsequently may give notice that it elects to shorten the deferral
period, pay accrued interest and return to the normal course of dividend payments.

NOTE 9 INCOME TAXES (continued)
A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely
than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. Management
has reviewed the deferred tax position for the Corporation at December 31, 2010 and 2009. In 2009
the Corporations evaluation of taxable events, losses in recent years and the continuing
deterioration of the Michigan economy led management to conclude that it was more likely than not
that all or part of the benefit would not be realized. As a result, during the second quarter of
2009, the Corporation recognized a valuation allowance. During the fourth quarter of 2009, new tax
laws were enacted which allowed the Corporation to exercise the option to carry the current year
loss back over a five year taxable income period. In 2010 the Corporation evaluated the deferred
tax position and found there to be no change at this time. The
valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets may be reversed to income in future periods to
the extent that the related deferred income tax assets are realized or the valuation allowance is
otherwise no longer required. Management will continue to monitor our deferred tax assets
quarterly for changes affecting their realizability.
There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2010 or 2009, and the Corporation does not
expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve
months.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S federal income taxes as well as income tax
of the state of Michigan. The Corporation is no longer subject to examination by taxing
authorities for years before 2007.
NOTE 10 BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has a noncontributory discretionary employee stock ownership plan (Plan) covering
substantially all of its employees. It is a requirement of the plan to invest principally in the
Corporations common stock. No contributions were made to the Plan in 2010 or 2009.
The Corporation has also established a 401(k) Plan in which 50% of the employees contribution can
be matched with a discretionary contribution by the Corporation up to a maximum of 6% of gross
wages. In 2009 the Corporation elected to eliminate its contribution to the 401(k) Plan during the
first quarter. This election was maintained in 2010. Therefore there were no contributions to the
plan in 2010 and the reduced contributions in 2009 totaled $59,000.
The Corporation entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreements (SERP Agreements) with
certain executives. The SERP Agreements are designed to encourage executives to remain long term
employees of the Corporation, and to provide specified benefits to certain key executives who
contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of the
Corporation. The retirement benefits are an unsecured obligation of the Corporation. The
Corporation and the Affiliate Bank has established other Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
arrangements for employees not covered under the SERP. The arrangements are designed to encourage
certain officers to remain long term employees of the Corporation and the Banks, and to provide the
officers with supplemental retirement income. At year end 2010 and 2009, accumulated liability for
these plans totaled $671,246 and $585,030. The Corporations contributions to the plans in 2010
and 2009 were $0 and $99,367, respectively.

NOTE 11 STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION PLANS
Director and Employee Plans
The Directors Stock Purchase Plan permits directors of the Corporation to purchase shares of common
stock made available for purchase under the plan at the fair market value on the fifteenth day
prior to the annual issuance date. The total number of shares issuable under this plan is limited
to 9,600 shares in any calendar year.
The Retainer Stock Plan allows directors to elect to receive shares of common stock in full or
partial payment of the directors retainer fees and fees for attending meetings. The number of
shares is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees to be paid in shares by the market value
of the stock on the first business day prior to the payment date.
The Executive Stock Bonus Plan permits the administrator of the plan to grant shares of the
Corporations common stock to eligible employees. Any executive or managerial level employee is
eligible to receive grants under the plan. The Board of Directors administers the plan and the
numbers of shares issued are at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. No shares were
granted under this plan during 2010 or 2009.
Dividend Investment Plan
The Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) permits enrolled shareholders to automatically
use dividends paid on common stock to purchase additional shares of the Corporations common stock
at the fair market value on the investment date. Any shareholder who is the beneficial or record
owner of not more than 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporations common stock
is eligible to participate in the plan.
Pursuant to a separate agreement with a family who collectively holds more than 9.9% of the
Corporations stock on or prior to January 31 of each year beginning January 31, 1997, the
Corporation is to advise the family, in a written notice, of the number of shares sold under the
DRIP. Each family member will have the option, until February 28 of the same year, to purchase
from the Corporation one-third of the total number of shares that would be sufficient to prevent
the dilution to all family members as a group that result solely as a result of the DRIP shares.
The purchase price under this agreement is the fair market value on December 31 of the year
immediately preceding the year in which the written notice is given. Similarly, a reverse
agreement exists which allows the Corporation to redeem family shares to maintain the family
ownership percentage in the event that stock repurchase activity more than offsets the shares
available because of the DRIP.

NOTE 11 STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION PLANS (continued)
Stock Option Plans
The Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan provides for granting options to nonemployee directors
to purchase the Corporations common stock. The purchase price of the shares is the fair market
value at the date of the grant, and there is a three-year vesting period before options may be
exercised. Options to
acquire no more than 8,131 shares of stock may be granted under the Plan in any calendar year and
options to acquire not more than 73,967 shares in the aggregate may be outstanding at any one time.
No options were granted in 2010 or 2009.
The Employee Stock Option Plan grants options to eligible employees to purchase the Corporations
common stock at or above, the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant. Awards
granted under this plan are limited to an aggregate of 86,936 shares. The administrator of the
plan is a committee of directors. The administrator has the power to determine the number of
options to be granted, the exercise price of the options and other terms of the options, subject to
consistency with the terms of the Plan. No options were granted in 2010 or 2009.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option
valuation (Black-Scholes) model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the
Corporations common stock. The Corporation uses historical data to estimate option exercise and
post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data
and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes
into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected
term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
Shares that are issued upon option exercise come from authorized but unissued shares.

compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plan.

NOTE 12 FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a
liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels
of inputs that may be used to measure fair values.
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other
inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entitys own assumptions
about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.
The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on
nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a
mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying
exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities
relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The remaining fair values of
securities (Level 3 inputs) are based on the reporting entitys own assumptions and basic knowledge
of market conditions and individual investment performance. The Corporation reviews the
performance of the securities that comprise level 3 on a quarterly basis.
Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance
for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize
a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the
income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to
adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments
are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for
determining fair value.
Other Real Estate Owned: Non-recurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential
real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party
appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying
amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

NOTE 12 FAIR VALUE (continued)
The following represent impairment charges recognized during the period:
Impaired loans, that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral had a
carrying amount of $12,500,000, with a valuation allowance of $3,764,000, resulting in an
additional provision for loan losses of $700,000 at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2009
impaired loans had a carrying amount of $19,947,000, with a valuation allowance of $5,247,000,
which resulted in additional provision for loan losses of $1,959,000.
Other real estate owned which is measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs
to sell, had a net carrying amount of $2,742,000, of which $295,000 was at fair value at December
31, 2010, which resulted from write-downs totaling $352,000. At December 31, 2009 other real estate
owned had a net carrying amount of $1,274,000, of which $470,000 was at fair value, which resulted
from write-downs totaling $123,000.

their fair values.
Securities
Fair values for securities held to maturity are based on similar information previously presented
for securities available for sale.

December 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 12 FAIR VALUE (continued)
FHLB Stock
It was not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its
transferability.
Loans held for sale
The fair values of these loans are determined in the aggregate on the basis of existing forward
commitments or fair values attributable to similar loans.
Loans
For variable rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk,
fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value for other loans is estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its
fair value.
Off-balance-sheet instruments
The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material.
Deposit liabilities
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition equal to the amount payable on
demand at the reporting date. The carrying amounts for variable rate, fixed term money market
accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair
values for fixed certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow calculation that
applies interest rates currently being offered on similar certificates. The carrying amount of
accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Short-term borrowings
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings approximate their
fair values.
FHLB advances
Rates currently available for FHLB debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to
estimate the fair value of the existing debt.
Subordinated Debentures
The estimated fair value of the existing subordinated debentures is calculated by comparing a
current market rate for the instrument compared to the book rate. The difference between these
rates computes the fair value.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and
information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount
that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporations entire holdings of a
particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the
Corporations financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on managements judgments
regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics and
other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions
could significantly affect the estimates.

On March 17, 2009, The Corporation entered into an agreement to sell all of the stock of one of its
bank subsidiaries, Davison State Bank, to a private, non-affiliated, investor group. The
Corporation recorded an estimated loss on the sale of Davison State Bank of $700,000 in the first
quarter of 2009 which is recorded in net loss from discontinued operations. As a result of the
amended sales agreement, the estimated loss of $700,000 was reversed in the first quarter of 2010.
Condensed balance sheets and statements of income of discontinued operations are presented below.
As of April 30, 2010, Davison State Bank was sold to an independent financial group. As a result,

NOTE 14 REGULATORY MATTERS
The Corporation (on a consolidated basis) and its Bank subsidiaries are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary
- actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Corporations financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines
that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items are
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Banks to
maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as
defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the most recent
notifications from Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Banks as adequately
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
West Michigan Community Bank was placed under a Consent Order with federal and state banking
regulators that contain provisions to foster improvement in West Michigan Community Banks
earnings, lower non performing loan levels, and increase capital. The Consent Order required West
Michigan Community Bank to retain a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of a minimum of 8.0%.
As of December 31, 2010, West Michigan Community Bank had a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio
of 7.5%, as compared to a Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio of 6.9% at December 31, 2009. West
Michigan Community Bank was not in compliance with the Consent Order requirements. As previously
mentioned, West Michigan Community Bank was sold on January 31, 2011.

NOTE 14 REGULATORY MATTERS (continued)
In January 2010, The State Bank entered into a Consent Order with federal and state banking
regulators that contain provisions to foster improvement in The State Banks earnings, lower
nonperforming loan levels, increase capital, and require revisions to various policies. The Consent
Order requires The State Bank to maintain a Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio of a minimum of
8.0%. It also requires The State Bank to maintain a total capital to risk weighted asset ratio of
12.0%. At December 31, 2010, The State Bank had a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 6.5%
and a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.0%. The State Bank is not in compliance
with the Consent Order requirements, and therefore cannot be considered well capitalized.
The Consent Orders restrict the Banks from issuing or renewing brokered deposits. Refer to Note 8
for further details. The Consent Orders also restrict dividend payments from The State Bank and
West Michigan Community Bank to the Corporation. The Corporation, the Board of Directors and
management continue to work on plans to come into compliance with the Consent Orders which includes
the injection of capital into The State Bank resulting from the sale of West Michigan Community
Bank. The sale is projected to provide an additional $3.5 million of capital that may be allocated
to The State Bank. While below the compliance level required by the Orders, both Banks maintain
capital levels that would be considered well capitalized by regular prompt corrective action
regulatory standards. Non-compliance with Consent Order requirements may cause banks to be subject
to further enforcement actions by the FDIC.
Effective in November 2010, the Corporation received a notice from The Federal Reserve which
defined restrictions being placed upon the holding company. The restrictions include the
declaration or payment of any dividends, the receipt of dividends from subsidiary banks, the
repayment of any principal or interest on subordinated debentures or Trust Preferred securities,
restrictions on debt, any changes in Executive or Senior Management or change in the role of Senior
Management. In addition, the notice provided an expectation that the Corporation maintain
sufficient capital levels.
As illustrated in the table below, at December 31, 2010, the Consolidated Corporations total
capital to risk weighted assets ratio indicates that it is under capitalized. The Corporations
total capital to risk weighted assets ratio of 7.8% at December 31, 2010 was below the minimum
requirement of 8.0%. This is compared to December 31, 2009 when the total capital to risk weighted
assets for the Corporation was at 7.8%. With the current capital levels, the Corporation is
required to obtain written approval prior to payments of any dividends or for any increase or
decrease to outstanding debt.
The Corporations principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the
Banks. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval
of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any
calendar year is
limited to the current years net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding
two years, subject to the limitations described above.

Management believes they have responded fully to the provisions of the Consent Orders except for
the capital requirements. In order to be considered well capitalized and comply with the capital
requirements of the Orders, The State Bank would have needed a capital injection of approximately
$4.3 million as of December 31, 2010. While below the compliance level required by the Orders, the
bank maintains capital levels considered adequate by regulatory standards. Non-compliance with
Consent Order requirements may cause the bank to be subject to further enforcement actions by the
FDIC.
The bank has achieved improved capital ratios since falling below the well capitalized level in
June of 2009. Management has initiated multiple strategies to meet the capital requirements
including shrinking assets of the Bank as much as feasible without weakening the liquidity
position, reducing operating costs by reducing overhead and curtailing spending, and raising
additional capital through the sale of Fentura subsidiary, Davison State Bank. Management has
successfully reduced assets of The State Bank by $31.1 million during 2010 and efforts to shrink
assets further are continuing. The sale of Davison State Bank generated $3.0 million in proceeds
which were used to strengthen the capital position of The State Bank.
The January 2011 sale of West Michigan Community Bank generated $900,000 of cash which is available
to be injected into The State Bank. The Corporation will also receive cash from future principal
payments on loans acquired from the sale of West Michigan Community bank and from proceeds of other
real estate sold, to strengthen the capital position of The State Bank, subject to regulatory
approval.

NOTE 15 LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES
Off-balance-sheet risk
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and
overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide
credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are
met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used.
Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although
material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as
are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.
The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk was as follows at
year-end:

$ | 8,403 | $ | 2,847 | ||||
Unused lines of credit and letters of credit |

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 90 days or less. At December 31, 2010,
loan commitments and unused line of credit had interest rates ranging from 3.63% to 6.25% and
maturities ranging from 9 months to 30 years.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Corporation posted a net loss of $5,385,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010,
compared to a net loss of $16,980,000 for the same period in 2009. In 2010, the loss was driven by
ongoing proportionately high provision for loan losses although net interest income had stabilized
when compared to 2009. Net-interest income declined $439,000, in 2010 due to a reduction in
interest income of $2,812,000 versus a reduction of $2,373,000 in interest expense. Interest
income declined primarily due to decreases in volume of loans. Non-interest income increased in
2010 by $1,383,000 or 41.0% from the non-interest income in the prior year. This was due to the
write off of a DeNovo bank equity investment which resulted in a loss of $1,360,000. Non-interest
expense decreased by $1,624,000 or 11.0%, primarily due to decreases in loan and collection
expenses.
Standard performance indicators used in the banking industry help management evaluate the
Corporations performance. Two of these performance indicators are return on average assets and
return on average equity. For 2010 and 2009 respectively, the Corporation posted a return on
average assets of (1.15%) and (3.02%). Return on average equity was (28.52%) in 2010 and (61.18%)
in 2009. The Corporations capital position experienced a decrease in equity of $4.5 million or
21.8% in 2010. Total assets decreased $97.9 million in 2010 and decreased $56.5 million in 2009.
The large decrease in 2010 was the largely the result of the sale of a subsidiary bank during the
second quarter of 2010. Diluted loss per share was ($2.37) in 2010 and ($7.70) in 2009.
The markets in which The Corporation operates continue to be effected by the economic challenges in
the State of Michigan. The economic conditions continue to place pressure on its customers and
their ability to repay loans. This has driven up the level of troubled assets and has resulted in
increased related loan expenses and provision for loan losses. The Corporation continues to
monitor troubled assets and the capital levels of its Banks.
On April 28, 2010, at the Annual Shareholder Meeting, a formal announcement was made regarding the
signing of a definitive agreement to sell West Michigan Community Bank. The transaction was
consummated on January 31, 2011, and the Corporation received $10,500,000 from the sale of West
Michigan Community Bank (a 10% premium to book). Regulatory approval was received for the sale of
West Michigan Community Bank and for the Corporation to acquire approximately $10,100,000 of
non-performing assets. As the non-performing assets are converted to performing loans or
liquidated, the proceeds will be available to strengthen the capital position of The State Bank.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, the principal source of income, is the amount of interest income generated by
earning assets (principally securities and loans) less interest expense paid on interest bearing
liabilities (largely deposits and other borrowings).
A critical task of management is to price assets and liabilities so that the spread between the
interest earned on assets and the interest paid on liabilities is maximized without unacceptable
risk. While interest rates on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are subject
to market forces, in general, the Corporation can exert more control over deposit costs than
earning asset rates. Deposit costs are somewhat limited though due to the timing of repricing of
time deposits. Loan products carry either fixed rates of interest or rates tied to market indices
which are determined independently. The Corporation sets its own rates on deposits, providing
management with some flexibility in determining the timing and proportion of rate changes for the
cost of its deposits.
Table 2 summarizes the changes in net interest income resulting from changes in volume and rates
for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Net interest income (displayed with consideration
of full tax equivalency), average balance sheet amounts, and the corresponding yields for the last
three years are shown in Table 3. Tax equivalent net interest income decreased by $538,000 in 2010
or 4.8% and
46
decreased by $347,000 or 3.0% in 2009. In both 2010 and 2009 investment security balances
decreased, loan volume decreased and non-performing loans increased slightly.
As indicated in Table 3, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Corporations net interest
margin was 3.72% compared with 3.50% in 2009. The improvement in 2010 is primarily attributable to
stabilization in the loan portfolio as fewer loans were placed into non-accrual status than in the
prior year. In addition, the average interest bearing liability rate continued to decrease, as
management continued to re-price the core deposit products along with time deposit portfolio as
they matured. The increase in 2009 was attributed to a larger decline in interest bearing
liability rates over the decline in earning asset yields.
Average earning assets decreased 10.3% in 2010 and decreased 7.7% in 2009. Average earning assets
were reduced through lower total average securities and loans when comparing 2010 to 2009. Loan
balances, including loans held for sale, the highest yielding component of earning assets,
represent 78.9% of earning assets in 2010, compared to 84.9% in 2009. Average interest bearing
liabilities decreased 13.2% in 2010 and decreased 3.4% in 2009. Non-interest bearing deposits
amounted to 19.2% of average earning assets in 2010 compared with 16.8% in 2009.

ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses reflects managements judgment as to the level considered appropriate
to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The Corporations methodology in
determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on ongoing quarterly assessments and relies on
several key elements, which include specific allowances for identified problem loans and a formula
based risk allocated allowance for the remainder of the portfolio. This includes a review of
individual loans, size and composition of the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, current
economic conditions, financial condition of borrowers, the level and composition of non-performing
loans, portfolio trends, estimated net charge-offs, and other pertinent factors. Although reserves
have been allocated to various portfolio segments, the allowance is general in nature and is
available for the portfolio in its entirety. At December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses
was $10,027,000 or 4.82% of total loans. This compares with $8,589,000 or 3.55% at December 31,
2009. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010 of $10,027,000 was
sufficient to cover all probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio at that time.
The provision for loan losses was $6,934,000 in 2010 and $11,040,000 in 2009. Provision for 2010
decreased from the 2009 level by $4,106,000. The decrease in 2010 is related to the declining size
of the loan portfolio along with improving economic indicators which partially drive the loan loss
calculations. The amount of provision taken for the year is a direct output of the calculation of
loan loss adequacy performed on a quarterly basis. The Corporation has a methodology that provides
for formula based allowances on homogeneous pools of general loans, as well as specific allocations
for impaired loans. During 2010 specific reserves for impaired loans increased compared to 2009
due to the continued decline of the underlying collateral value of the impaired loans. Reserves for
the homogeneous pools of loans decreased from 2010 to 2009 due to the reduction in the loan
portfolio and a change in the mix of loan concentrations. The Bank experienced gross charge-offs
of non-performing assets of $6,417,000 for 2010, compared to $9,996,000 for 2009.
In 2010, the Corporation reduced the size of the commercial loan portfolio. Commercial loans
decreased $13,984,000 from 2009 year end. Real estate construction and mortgage loans decreased
$16,942,000 from year end 2009. The decline in real estate construction and mortgage loans was
primarily due to management efforts to continue to reduce exposure to this sector. Charge-offs of
commercial loans totaled $5,618,000 in 2010 compared to $8,423,000 in 2009. Non-performing loans
increased slightly in 2010 when compared to 2009.
Table 4 summarizes loan losses and recoveries from 2006 through 2010. During 2010, the Corporation
experienced net charge-offs of $5,496,000, compared with net charge-offs of $9,779,000 in 2009.
The year to year decrease in charge offs was primarily due to a decrease in commercial loan
charge-offs by $2,806,000 year over year. Also, mortgage loan charge-offs decreased by $419,000
and consumer charge-offs decreased by $354,000. Total recoveries increased by $704,000 comparing
2010 with 2009. The net charge-off ratio is the difference of charged-off loans minus the
recoveries from loans divided by gross loans. Accordingly, the net charge-off ratio for 2010 was
2.64% compared to 4.04% at the end of 2009. As charge-offs have occurred, the Bank reviews the
remaining loan concentration and believes that the level of losses have decreased compared to prior
years.
The Corporation maintains formal policies and procedures to control and monitor credit risk.
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to meet normal credit risks in the
loan portfolio. The Corporation has identified a concentration level connected with construction
and land development loans. Specific strategies were developed to reduce the concentration level
and limit exposure to this type of lending. The Corporation has been successful in reducing this
concentration in 2009 and 2010. The Corporations loan portfolio has no exposure in foreign loans.
The Corporation has not extended credit to finance highly leveraged transactions nor does it intend
to do so in the future. The Michigan economy, employment levels and other economic conditions in
the Corporations local markets may have a significant impact on the level of credit losses. At
December 31, 2010, the local economy of the Bank continues to struggle. Unemployment remains high,
collateral values on real estate have
49
stabilized on 1-4 family property, yet commercial property values continue to decline. Loan demand
in commercial and consumer types continues to be low. Management continues to identify and devote
attention to credits that may not be performing as agreed. Non-performing loans are discussed
further in the section titled Non-Performing Assets.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income was $4,773,000 in 2010 and $3,390,000 in 2009. These amounts represent an
increase of 40.8% in 2010 compared to 2009.
The most significant category of non-interest income is service charges on deposit accounts, which
were $1,445,000 in 2010, compared to $1,726,000 in 2009. This was a decrease of $281,000 or 16.3%
in 2010. The decrease in 2010 was in all categories of service charges, with the largest declining
component being NSF and overdraft privilege fees.
Gains on the sale of mortgage loans originated by the Bank and sold in the secondary market were
$701,000 in 2010 and $744,000 in 2009. The decrease of 5.8% in 2010 is due to the slowing of
refinancing activity, as mortgage rates have risen, along with lower volumes of customers eligible
for refinancing and new mortgages. The Corporation sells the majority of the mortgage loans
originated in the secondary market on a servicing released basis.
Trust and investment income decreased $4,000 in 2010 to $915,000; compared with $919,000 in 2009.
The market value of the trust and investment portfolios has steadied.
Other income and fees includes income from the sale of checks, safe deposit box rent, merchant
account income, ATM income, gain on sale of real estate owned and other miscellaneous income items.
Other income and fees were $1,968,000 for 2010, compared to $1,649,000 in 2009. The largest
improvement was in gain on sale of other real estate owned. For the year ended December 31, 2010,
the gain on sale of real estate owned was $392,000, compared to a loss on sale of real estate owned
of $28,000.
Throughout 2010, the Corporation performed a quarterly review of bank equity stocks owned. As a
result of this review, the Corporation acknowledged other-than-temporary impairment on one
investment.
50
During the third quarter of 2010, the Bank recognized impairment of $307,000 on one bank stock. The
remaining amortized cost for bank stocks owned is $1,655,000 and has an unrealized net gain of
$15,000 at December 31, 2010. This is compared to other-than-temporary impairment realized
totaling $288,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Corporation recognized a loss on equity investment of
$1,360,000. This transaction did not recur in 2010.
NON-INTEREST
EXPENSE
Total non-interest expense was $13,087,000 in 2010 compared to $14,711,000 in 2009. This was a
decrease of 11.0% in 2010.
Salaries and employee benefits, the Corporations largest operating expense category, were
$6,387,000 in 2010, compared with $6,650,000 in 2009. The decrease between 2010 and 2009 was
primarily a result of personnel reductions, through attrition.
Occupancy expenses associated with the Corporations facilities were $1,225,000 in 2010 compared to
$1,326,000 in 2009 for a decrease of 7.6%. In 2010, the benefits of restructuring building
cleaning services to in-house and the renegotiation of multiple property maintenance contracts,
which began in 2009, were recognized.
In 2010, equipment expenses were $1,265,000 compared to $1,339,000 in 2009 for a decrease of 5.5%
in 2010. In 2010, the Corporation experienced a decrease of $53,000 in depreciation expense. In
addition in rental expenses were up $7,000, and maintenance expenses were down $21,000.
Loan and collection expenses were $1,279,000 in 2010 compared to $2,559,000 in 2009. The decrease
was related to other real estate owned (ORE) held by the Corporation. In 2010, ORE carrying costs
and related expenses totaled $482,000 compared to $823,000 for 2009. Multiple properties being
held in ORE required negative valuation adjustments totaling $342,000 in 2010 compared to
$1,184,000 in 2009. These adjustments were made as a result of the continuing decline in real
estate values in Michigan. The decreases from 2009 to 2010 were in the categories of increased
filing and recording costs, appraisal expense, collection expenses and other loan related expenses.
It is anticipated that in 2011, loan and collection expenses will remain similar to 2010 or have a
slight decline.
Advertising expenses were $101,000 in 2010 compared to $121,000 in 2009. When comparing 2010 to
2009, the Corporation reduced media expenses and other promotional expenses by 16.5%. The Bank
continues to maintain presence in the local markets through continued sponsorship of local
activities and community groups. The Corporation continues to remain focused on targeted
advertising.
Other professional service fees include audit fees, consulting fees, legal fees, and various other
professional services. Other professional services were $294,000 in 2010 compared to $179,000 in
2009. In 2010, the Corporation and the Bank had decreases of $161,000 of legal expenses, mostly in
relation to troubled loans. The Corporation saw flattening of audit and state exam fees during
2010, as well as decreases totaling $141,000 in other professional services.
Other general and administrative expenses, including telephone and communication services, were
$2,289,000 in 2010, or an increase of 0.1%, compared to $2,286,000 in 2009. Increases were in
expenses such as operating insurances, other losses and other operating expenses. Partially
offsetting these increases was a decrease in the FDIC assessment of $50,000 or 4.5% from 2009 to
2010. Other small decreases, on an individual basis, were in business development expenses,
subscriptions, and education expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Proper management of the volume and composition of the Corporations earning assets and funding
sources is essential for ensuring strong and consistent earnings performance, maintaining adequate
liquidity and limiting exposure to risks caused by changing market conditions. The Corporations
securities portfolio is structured to provide a source of liquidity through maturities and to
generate an income stream with relatively low levels of principal risk. The Corporation does not
engage in securities trading. Loans comprise the largest component of earning assets and are the
Corporations highest yielding assets. Client deposits are the primary source of funding for
earning assets while short-term debt and other sources of funds could be utilized if market
conditions and liquidity needs change.
The Corporations total assets averaged $470,139,000 for 2010 declining from the 2009 average of
$562,125,000 by $91,986,000 or 16.4%. Average loans comprised 78.9% of total average earning
assets during 2010 compared to 84.9% in 2009. Loans declined $45,483,000, on average, from year
end 2009 to year end 2010, with commercial loans having the largest decline of $34,591,000 or
16.5%. The ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 18.9% in 2010
compared to 16.4% in 2009. Interest bearing deposits comprised 93.9% of total average interest
bearing liabilities during 2010, down from 94.5% during 2009. This was primarily due to the
decrease in interest bearing checking accounts and time deposits. The Corporations year-end total
assets were $424,228,000 for 2010 down from $522,079,000 in 2009. The decrease was mainly due to
the sale of a subsidiary bank during 2010, along with the ongoing strategic shrinkage of the loan
portfolio.
SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
Securities of continuing operations totaled $46,225,000 at December 31, 2010 compared to
$39,394,000 at December 31, 2009. This was an increase of $6,831,000 or 17.3%. At December 31,
2010, these securities comprised 16.7% of earning assets, up from 13.2% at December 31, 2009. The
Corporations present policies, with respect to the classification of securities, are discussed in
Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Corporation considers all of its securities as
available for sale except for Michigan tax-exempt securities which are classified as held to
maturity.
As of December 31, 2010, the estimated aggregate fair value of the Corporations securities
portfolio was $67,000 below amortized cost. At December 31, 2010, gross unrealized gains were
$480,000 and gross unrealized losses were $547,000. A summary of estimated fair values and
unrealized gains and losses for the major components of the securities portfolio is provided in
Item 1 of the Form 10-K. As of year end 2010, the Corporation continues to receive a favorable
rate of return on the securities.
With regard to equity investments held by the Corporation, management regularly reviews the
performance of each institution that is not publicly traded. The majority of the equity securities
are investments in Michigan bank holding companies. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the
Corporations investment in these equity securities. Management reviews current market prices on
publicly traded equity securities and compares the current price to the book price. Any difference
is adjusted as a temporary valuation difference, unless other resources provide other information.
Equity securities that are not publicly traded receive a multi-faceted review utilizing call report
data. Management reviews such performance indicators as earnings, ROE, ROA, non-performing assets,
brokered deposits and capital ratios. Management draws conclusions from this information, as well
as any published information or trading activity received from the individual institutions, to
assist in determining if any unrealized loss is other than temporary impairment. As a result of the
September 30, 2010 review, OTTI totaling $298,000 was recognized during the quarter on the
Corporations equity securities in bank holding companies. The impairment was recognized as a
result of the length of time these securities have been at an unrealized loss position.
The Corporation has also been closely monitoring the performance of the CMO and MBS portfolios. In
2009, there were several CMOs that were downgraded in the market. Management continued to monitor
items such as payment streams and underlying default rates, and did not determine a severe change
in these items. On a quarterly basis, management uses multiple assumptions to project the expected
future
52
cash flows of the private label CMOs with prepayment speeds, projected default rates and loss
severity rates. The cash flows are then discounted using the effective rate on the securities
determined at acquisition. Recent historical experience is the base for determining the cash flow
assumptions and are adjusted when appropriate after considering characteristics of the underlying
loans collateralizing the private label CMO security. As a result of its review, the Corporation
recognized a $9,000 other-than-temporary impairment as a result of incurred credit losses which has
been reflected in the income statement. The security with the credit loss was the Corporations
sole CCC rated security. The Corporation sold this security during the fourth quarter of 2010.

LOAN PORTFOLIO
The Corporation extends credit primarily within in its local markets in Genesee, Oakland, and
Livingston, counties. The Corporations commercial loan portfolio is widely diversified but
includes a concentration in commercial real estate, as discussed previously and in the following
paragraph. The Corporations loan portfolio balances are summarized in Table 6.
Total loans, of continuing operations, decreased $34,075,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010,
with total loans comprising 75.1% of earning assets as compared to 81.3% of December 31, 2009
earning assets. The economic challenges experienced in the State of Michigan that began in 2007
have continued
53
to linger in 2010. Continued employment and economic declines, primarily in the automotive
industry, contributed to steepening unemployment rates and a declining population. With these
burdening challenges as well as by management strategy, the Corporation achieved a commercial loan
reduction during the year. In 2010, commercial loans decreased $13,984,000 or 8.5% to $150,179,000.
Real estate construction and mortgage loans also decreased by $16,942,000 or 37.2% in 2010. The
decline was primarily in the real estate construction portfolio as management focused efforts on
reducing the concentration. Consumer loans decreased $3,149,000 or 9.7% in 2010. In 2009,
commercial loan totals decreased $11,430,000 to $164,163,000 or declined by 6.5%. In addition,
real estate construction and mortgage loans decreased $23,281,000 or 33.8% to $45,585,000 at
December 31, 2009. Consumer loans decreased $3,217,000 or 9.1% in 2009.

The Corporation originates primarily residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial,
construction, and consumer loans. The Corporation estimates that the majority of the loan
portfolio is based in Genesee, Oakland and Livingston counties within southeast Michigan. The
ability of the Corporations debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the general
economic conditions in the markets we serve.

Credit risk is managed via specific credit approvals and monitoring procedures. Management has
implemented conservative lending guidelines in terms of loan-to-value (LTV) ratios and has
implemented limits regarding the concentration of loan types. The Corporations outside loan
review function examines the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis for compliance with credit
policies and to assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio. These procedures provide
management with information on an ongoing basis for setting appropriate direction and taking
corrective action as needed.
The Corporation closely monitors its construction and commercial mortgage loan portfolios.
Construction loans at December 31, 2010, which comprised 4.6% of total loans, totaled $9,597,000 as
compared to $21,904,000 at the end of 2009.
The construction and commercial real estate loan properties are located principally in the
Corporations local markets. Included are loans to various individual, industrial, commercial,
professional and small business borrowers. The Corporation believes that the portfolio is
reasonably well diversified.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
Non-performing assets include loans on which interest accruals have ceased, real estate acquired
through foreclosure, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing and renegotiated loans.
Table 9 represents the levels of these assets at December 31, 2006 through 2010. Non-performing
assets decreased $147,000 at December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009. Other Real Estate Owned
decreased $1,019,000 in 2010. Other Real Estate owned totaled $2,742,000 at December 31, 2010.
Other Real Estate in Redemption decreased to $828,000 at the end of 2010 from $2,733,000 at the end
of 2009. The Other Real Estate Owned in Redemption balance is comprised of seven commercial and two
residential properties. Non-performing loans at December 31, 2010, increased by $3,071,000 as
compared to December 31, 2009. This was largely due to the increase in renegotiated loans as of
December 31, 2010. Renegotiated loans are loans for which concessions have been granted to the
borrower based on their individual financial situation. These concessions may include
modifications to the interest rate, term of the loan or forgiveness of principal or interest. Loans
past due over 90 days and still accruing interest decreased $186,000 during this period.
Non-accrual loans increased $1,067,000 when comparing December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2009.
On April 28, 2010, at the Annual Shareholder Meeting, a formal announcement was made regarding the
signing of a definitive agreement to sell West Michigan Community Bank. The transaction was
consummated on January 31, 2011, and the Corporation received $10,500,000 from the sale of West
Michigan Community Bank (a 10% premium to book). As a condition of the sale, the Corporation
acquired non-performing assets of West Michigan Community Bank which totaled $10,100,000. The
assets will be housed in a newly formed real estate holding company subsidiary of the Corporation.
In addition, The State Bank acquired $2,900,000 of watch rated credits into its loan portfolio.
The level and composition of non-performing assets are both affected by economic conditions in the
Corporations local markets. Non-performing assets, charge-offs, and provisions for loan losses
tend to decline in a strong economy and increase in a weak economy, thereby impacting the
Corporations operating results. In addition to non-performing loans, management carefully
monitors other credits that are current in terms of principal and interest payments but, in
managements opinion, may deteriorate in quality if economic conditions change.

As discussed earlier under Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses, the Corporation has a
methodology that provides for formula based allowances as well as specific allocations for impaired
loans. A loan is considered impaired when management determines it is probable that the principal
and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected. In most instances,
impairment is measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impairment may also
be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans
effective interest rate. Interest income on impaired non-accrual loans is recognized on a cash
basis. Interest income on all other impaired loans is recorded on an accrual basis.
56
The Corporations non-performing loans included in Table 9 are considered impaired. The
Corporation measures impairment on all large balance non-accrual commercial loans. Certain large
balance accruing loans rated watch or lower are also measured for impairment. Impairment losses
are believed to be adequately covered by the provision for loan losses. Large groups of smaller
balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and include certain smaller
balance commercial loans, consumer loans, and residential real estate loans, and are not included
in the impaired loan data in the following paragraphs.
Impaired loans totaled $28,439,000 at December 31, 2010 compared to $27,884,000 at December 31,
2009. Specific allowances for loan losses on impaired loans totaled $6,470,000 and $5,248,000 at
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase from 2010 to 2009 was due an increase in
non-accrual loans. Additional information on impaired loans is described in Note 4 of the
financial statements.
The Corporation maintains policies and procedures to identify and monitor non-accrual loans. A
loan is placed on non-accrual status when there is doubt regarding collection of principal or
interest, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more. Interest accrued but not
collected is reversed against income for the current quarter when the loan is placed on non-accrual
status.

The Corporations average deposit balances, of continuing operations, and rates for the past
five years are summarized in Table 11. Total average deposits were 11.1% lower in 2010 as compared
to 2009. In 2010, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $1.3 million, while all other
categories of deposits experienced declining averages in 2010. Despite the changes, the proportion
each category held of total deposits remained fairly flat from year to year. Interest-bearing
demand average deposits comprised 16.7% of total average deposits, savings average deposits
comprised 22.0% of total average deposits, and time average deposits comprised 42.4% of total
average deposits.
Brokered deposits, included in time deposits, totaled approximately $21,995,000 and $34,398,000 at
December 31, 2010 and 2009. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, brokered deposits had interest rates
ranging from 4.90% to 5.30% and 4.80% to 5.30%, respectively, and maturities ranging from five
months to twenty-two months. Brokered deposits mature as follows: $11,005,000 in 2011 and
$10,990,000 in 2012.
The State Bank is considered adequately capitalized at December 31, 2010, and is precluded, under
prompt corrective action guidelines, from issuing or renewing brokered deposits. Management
anticipates repayment of brokered deposits as they mature. These repayments are anticipated to be
made from fed funds and the Banks local deposits.
57
As of December 31, 2010, certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more accounted for approximately
16.4% of total deposits compared to 22.9% at December 31, 2009. The maturities of these deposits
are summarized in Table 12.

FEDERAL
INCOME TAXES
The Corporations effective tax rate, of continuing operations, was .43% for 2010 and 20.0% for
2009. The principal difference between the effective tax rates and the statutory tax rate of 34%
is the Corporations investments in certain tax-exempt securities and loans as well as its
valuation allowance against its tax assets.
During 2010 and 2009, the Corporation evaluated its deferred tax position. A valuation allowance
related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or
part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In 2009, the Corporations
evaluation of taxable events and the losses in recent years led management to conclude that it was
more likely than not that all or part of the benefit would not be realized. As a result, during
the second quarter of 2009, the Corporation recognized a valuation allowance. During the fourth
quarter of 2009, new tax laws were enacted which allowed the Corporation to exercise the option to
take the current year loss and carry it back over a five year taxable income period. This exercise
provided the Corporation with a tax benefit of $5,046,000 during the fourth quarter of 2009.
Additional information relating to federal income taxes is included in Note 10 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY
AND INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
Asset/Liability management is designed to assure liquidity and reduce interest rate risks. The
goal in managing interest rate risk is to maintain a strong and relatively stable net interest
margin. It is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO) to set policy
guidelines and to establish short-term and long-term strategies with respect to interest rate
exposure and liquidity. The ALCO, which is comprised of key members of senior management, meets
regularly to review financial performance and soundness, including interest rate risk and liquidity
exposure in relation to present and prospective markets, business conditions, and product lines.
Accordingly, the committee adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended
to maintain earnings, liquidity, and growth rates consistent with policy and prudent business
standards. Liquidity maintenance, together with a solid capital base and strong earnings
performance are key objectives of the Corporation. The Corporations liquidity is derived from a
strong deposit base comprised of individual and business deposits. The Corporations deposit base
plus other funding sources (federal funds purchased, other liabilities and shareholders equity)
provided primarily all funding needs in 2010 and 2009. While these sources of funds are expected
to continue to be available to provide funds in the future, the mix and availability of funds will
depend upon future economic and market conditions.
A source of liquidity that is no longer available to the Bank is brokered deposits. Brokered
deposits totaled approximately $21,995,000 and $34,398,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009. As The
State Bank is considered adequately capitalized at December 31, 2010, it is precluded, under prompt
corrective action
58
guidelines, from issuing or renewing brokered deposits. Management anticipates
repayment of brokered deposits as they mature using fed funds and the Banks local deposits.
Primary liquidity is provided through short-term investments or borrowings (including federal funds
sold and purchased), while the security portfolio provides secondary liquidity along with FHLB
advances. As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation had federal funds sold of $21,900,000 as
compared to $16,150,000 federal funds sold at the end of 2009. In 2010, loan balances continued to
decrease substantially. These decreases were partially accompanied by decreases in the deposit
portfolio. However, the remaining differential allowed for the Corporation to be positioned into
fed funds sold at year end. The Corporation regularly monitors liquidity to ensure adequate cash
flows to cover unanticipated reductions in the availability of funding sources.
In April 2009, the Corporation announced that in order to maintain liquidity at the holding
company, it provided notice to each of The Bank of New York and Wilmington Trust Company, the
trustees of the Corporations junior subordinated debt securities due 2033 (Fentura Trust I), and
junior subordinated debt securities due 2035 (Fentura Trust II), respectively, that the
Corporation was exercising its right to defer interest payments for each of the interest payment
dates of June 15, 2009, as to the Fentura Trust I, and May 23, 2009, as to the Fentura Trust II to
June 15, 2014 and May 23, 2014, respectively, unless the Corporation subsequently gives notice that
it has elected to shorten such deferral period. The Corporation has the ability under each of the
trust indentures to defer interest payments for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods (five
years), so long as the Corporation is not in default, as defined in the respective indentures. The
Corporation is not in default under either of the indentures. Interest on the debt securities
continues to accrue during the deferral period and interest on the deferred interest also accrues,
both of which must be paid at the end of the deferral period. The total then-estimated annual
interest that was payable on the debt securities, if not deferred, was approximately $1,027,000,
based on variable rates at the time of deferral. The management of the holding company liquidity
position remains stable as the operating expenses of the holding company are minimal.
Interest rate risk is managed by controlling and limiting the level of earnings volatility arising
from rate movements. The Corporation regularly performs reviews and analyses of those factors
impacting interest rate risk. Factors include maturity and re-pricing frequency of balance sheet
components, impact of rate changes on interest margin and prepayment speeds, market value impacts
of rate changes, and other issues. Both actual and projected performance, are reviewed, analyzed,
and compared to policy and objectives to assure present and future financial viability.
The Corporation had cash flows from financing activities resulting primarily from the outflow of
time deposits. In 2010, total deposits decreased $35,574,000. Cash provided by investing
activities was $45,571,000 in 2010 compared to $65,7070,000 in 2009. The change in investing
activities was due to increased calls and sales of investments, which were partially offset by
purchases of investments. A continued decrease in loan volume from 2009 to 2010, which was
managements strategy, also played a key role in the investing activities. Sales of other real
estate owned increased $1,940,000 when comparing 2010 to 2009.

CAPITAL
RESOURCES
Management closely monitors capital levels to provide for current and future business needs and to
comply with regulatory requirements. Regulations prescribed under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 have defined well capitalized institutions as those having
total risk-based ratios, tier 1 risk-based capital ratios and tier 1 leverage ratios of at least
10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively. At December 31, 2010 the subsidiary Banks maintained adequately
capitalized leverage requirements as defined by federal law.
At December 31, 2010, the Corporations tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 6.5% and
7.8%, respectively, compared with 6.5% and 7.8% in 2009. The Corporations tier 1 leverage ratio
was 4.9% at December 31, 2010 compared with 5.0% at December 31, 2009. Although the Corporation
experienced a decline in equity from year to year, the Corporation was also able to reduce the size
of the balance sheet and maintain risk-based ratios at similar levels to last year.
Total shareholders equity declined 21.8% to $16,055,000 at December 31, 2010, compared with
$20,532,000 at December 31, 2009. The Corporations equity to asset ratio was 3.8% at December 31,
2010, compared to 3.9% at December 31, 2009. The decrease in equity in 2010 resulted from negative
earnings. The Corporation did not pay dividends in either 2009 or 2010 in order to conserve
capital.
Additional information regarding the capital levels of the Corporation and the Bank is in Note 14
to the Financial Statements, for a discussion of capital requirements imposed by regulatory
agreements.
REGULATORY
ORDERS
In December 2009, The State Bank entered into a formal enforcement action with federal and state
banking regulators that contain provisions to foster improvement in The State Banks earnings,
reduce nonperforming loan levels, increase capital, and require revisions to various policies.
The stipulation and consent to the issuance of a consent order (the Stipulation and Consent)
among The State Bank, the FDIC and the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation
(OFIR) contains several provisions which pertain to The State Banks asset quality.
Specifically, The State Bank is required to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses and to
adopt a plan to reduce The State Banks risk position in each asset in excess of $500,000 which was
then classified as substandard or doubtful. In addition, while the Stipulation and Consent is in
effect, The State Bank may not extend additional credit to any borrower who is already obligated on
any extension of credit that has been charged-off so long as the credit remains uncollected.
Likewise, The State Bank may not extend any additional credit to any borrower whose loan has been
classified as substandard or doubtful and is uncollected, unless approved by The State Banks board
of directors.
The Stipulation and Consent also requires The State Bank to implement or improve certain plans.
Specifically, The State Bank must implement a plan and 2011 budget to improve The State Banks
overall earnings. The State Bank must also adopt a written contingency funding plan identifying
sources of liquid assets to meet contingency funding needs over the near term.
With respect to capital and management generally, The State Bank is required to have and maintain
its level of Tier 1 capital as a percentage of its total assets at a minimum of 8%, its total
capital to total risk-adjusted assets as a minimum of 12%, and not pay or declare any dividends
without the prior consent of
the FDIC and the OFIR. The State Bank must also retain qualified management and obtain approval of
the FDIC and the OFIR of any changes in The State Banks directors or senior executive officers.
Effective November 2010, the Corporation received a notice from The Federal Reserve which defined
restrictions being placed upon the Holding Company. The restrictions include the declaration or
payment of any dividends, the receipt of dividends from subsidiary Banks, the repayment of any
principal or interest on subordinated debentures or Trust Preferred securities, restrictions on
debt, any changes in Executive or Senior Management or change in the role of Senior Management. In
addition, the notice provided an indication for the corporation to maintain sufficient capital
levels.
60
The Corporation and Bank has addressed substantially all of the requirements of the enforcement
action with the exception of the minimum capital ratios set forth above. Refer to Note 14 to the
financial statements for additional information.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Managements Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based
on the Corporations consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible
to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan
losses, ORE, securities valuation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level we believe is adequate to absorb probable
losses identified and inherent in the loan portfolio. Our evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, assessments of the
impact of current and anticipated economic conditions on the portfolio, and historical loss
experience. The allowance for loan losses represents managements best estimate, but significant
downturns in circumstances relating to loan quality or economic conditions could result in a
requirement for an increased allowance for loan losses in the future. Likewise, an upturn in loan
quality or improved economic conditions may result in a decline in the required allowance for loan
losses. In either instance unanticipated changes could have a significant impact on operating
earnings.
The allowance for loan losses is increased through a provision charged to operating expense.
Uncollectible loans are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries of loans
previously charged-off are added to the allowance for loan losses. A loan is considered impaired
when it is probable that contractual interest and principal payments will not be collected either
for the amounts or by the dates as scheduled in the loan agreement.
A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely
than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. The
Corporations evaluation of taxable events, losses in recent years and the continuing deterioration
of the Michigan economy let management to conclude that it was more likely than not that all or
part of the benefit would not be realized. The valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets
may be reversed to income in future periods to the extent that the deferred income tax assets are
realized or the valuation allowance is otherwise no longer required. Management will continue to
monitor our deferred tax assets quarterly for changes affecting their realizability.
Other Real Estate Owned and Foreclosed Assets are acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure.
They are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing
a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense.
Costs after acquisition
are expensed. See Note 5 to the financial statements for additional information regarding other
real estate owned.
The Corporation evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) at least on a
quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. In
determining other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) management considers many factors, including:
(1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the
financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was
affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt
security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated
recovery. The assessment of
61
whether other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of
subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in
time.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET
ITEMS
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and
overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide
credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are
met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used.
Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although
material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as
are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment. The amounts of
commitments are included in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Fentura Financial, Inc. faces market risk to the extent that both earnings and the fair value of
its financial instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. The Corporation manages this
risk with static GAP analysis and has begun simulation modeling. Throughout 2010 the results of
these measurement techniques were within the Corporations policy guidelines. The Corporation does
not believe that there has been a material change in the nature of the Corporations substantially
influenced market risk exposures, including the categories of market risk to which the Corporation
is exposed and the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to the Corporation, or
in how those exposures were managed in 2010 compared to 2009.
The Corporations market risk exposure is mainly comprised of its vulnerability to interest rate
risk. Prevailing interest rates and interest rate relationships in the future will be primarily
determined by market factors, which are outside of the Corporations control. All information
provided in this section consists of forward-looking statements. Reference is made to the section
captioned Forward Looking Statements in this annual report for a discussion of the limitations on
the Corporations responsibility for such statements. The following table provides information
about the Corporations financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of
December 31, 2010. The table shows expected cash flows from market sensitive instruments for each
of the next five years and thereafter. The expected maturity date values for loans and securities
(at amortized cost) were calculated without adjusting the instruments contractual maturity dates
for expected prepayments. Maturity date values for interest bearing core deposits were not based
on estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding, but rather the opportunity
for re-pricing. The Corporation believes that re-pricing dates, as opposed to expected maturity
dates, may be more relevant in analyzing the value of such instruments and are reported as such in
the following table.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT
Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to maximize net interest income as a result of changing
interest rates, within prudent ranges of risk. The Corporation attempts to accomplish this
objective by structuring the balance sheet so that re-pricing opportunities exist for both assets
and liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time intervals. Imbalances
in these re-pricing opportunities at any point in time constitute a banks interest rate
sensitivity. The Corporation currently does not utilize derivatives in managing interest rate
risk.
An indicator of the interest rate sensitivity structure of a financial institutions balance sheet
is the difference between its interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive
liabilities, and is referred to as GAP.
Table 15 sets forth the distribution of re-pricing of the Corporations earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities as of December 31, 2010, the interest rate sensitivity GAP, as defined above,
the cumulative interest rate sensitivity GAP, the interest rate sensitivity GAP ratio (i.e.
interest rate sensitive assets
divided by interest rate sensitive liabilities) and the cumulative sensitivity GAP ratio. The
table also sets forth the time periods in which earning assets and liabilities will mature or may
re-price in accordance with their contractual terms.

As indicated in Table 15, the short-term (one year and less) cumulative interest rate sensitivity
gap is negative. Accordingly, if market interest rates increase, this negative gap position could
have a short- term negative impact on interest margin. Conversely, if market interest rates
decrease, this negative gap position could have a short-term positive impact on interest margin.
However, gap analysis is limited and may not provide an accurate indication of the impact of
general interest rate movements on the net interest margin since the re-pricing of various
categories of assets and liabilities is subject to the Corporations needs, competitive pressures,
and the needs of the Corporations customers. In addition, various assets and liabilities
indicated as re-pricing within the same period may in fact re-price at different times within such
period and at different rate indices. In 2010, market driven rates, such as the Prime Rate
remained steady throughout the year. This steadiness allowed management to close the gap related
to interest rate sensitivity. Management was able to reduce liquid interest bearing liability rates
to extremely low rates, while maintaining relatively similar volumes in 2010. The Bank was also
able to re-price maturing time deposits, in a downward fashion as longer term certificates at
higher rates matured during the year. On the asset side of the balance sheet rates on the
investment portfolios remained relatively steady, and yields on loans increased comparing 2010 to
2009. Management worked to re-price loans favorably as they renewed and were priced accordingly
for risk, however overall loan yields decreased. This was due to increases in non-performing
loans. The Corporation expects to continue to make strides in managing interest rate sensitivity.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and other sections
of the Consolidated Financial Statements and this annual report, contain forward looking statements
that are based on managements beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and
projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation itself.
Words such as anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, forecasts, intends, is
likely, plans, projects, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to
identify such forward looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (Future Factors), which are
difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence.
Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecast
in such forward looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend or
clarify forward looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Future factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding
forward looking statement include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rate and interest
rate relationships, demands for products and services, the degree of competition by traditional and
non-traditional competitors, changes in banking laws or regulations, changes in tax laws, change in
prices, the impact of technological advances, government and regulatory policy changes, the outcome
of pending and future litigation and contingencies, trends in customer behavior as well as their
ability to repay loans, and the local and national economy.

SHAREHOLDER RETURN PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return on the Corporations common stock
for the last five years with the cumulative total return of the Midwest Quadrant Pink Bank Index,
published by SNL Financial L.C., and the NASDAQ Market Index assuming a $100 investment at the end
of 2003. The NASDAQ Market Index is a broad equity market index. The Midwest Quadrant Pink Bank
Index is composed of 101 banks and bank holding companies located in the Midwest and whose shares
primarily trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
Cumulative total return is measured by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of
dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and (B) the difference
between the share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period; by (ii) the share
price at the beginning of the measurement period. The graph assumes the investment of $100 in the
Corporations common stock, the NASDAQ Market Index, and the Midwest Quadrant Pink Bank Index at
the market close on December 31, 2005 and the reinvestment of all dividends through the period
ending December 31, 2010.
