INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
March 9, 2015
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Fentura Financial, Inc.
Fenton, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Fentura Financial, Inc. (the
“Corporation”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013,
and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and
cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Independent Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on auditor judgment, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant
to the Corporation’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Fentura Financial, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and

2013, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As more fully described in Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, a reversal of
a large portion of a deferred income tax asset valuation allowance in 2013 had a significant effect on
net income for that year.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND 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 subsidiaries Fentura Holdings LLC (“FHLLC”) and The State Bank (“the
Bank”) in Fenton, Michigan. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in
consolidation.
The Corporation provides banking and trust services principally to individuals, small
businesses and governmental entities through its eight 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 loans were 49.3% and 50.1% of gross loans, and other commercial loans were 15.7%
and 17.1% of gross loans at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 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 Corporation’s exposure to credit risk is substantially affected by the economy in the
Corporation’s 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 in the normal course of business include deposit accounts in other financial institutions
and federal funds sold.
The Bank’s primary sources of liquidity are time deposits and non-maturity deposits. At
December 31, 2014 retail time deposits equal 21.8% of total deposits. This is compared to
December 31, 2013 when retail time deposits consisted of 16.2% of total deposits. Details
regarding deposits are further described in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures
provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, the fair values of
securities and derivatives, 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.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
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.

FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Investment 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.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums or discounts. Premiums and
discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating
prepayments, except
for mortgage-backed securities, where prepayments are
anticipated. Premiums are amortized to call date whereby discounts are amortized to
maturity. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) 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 Corporation has the intent to
sell the debt security or it is more likely than not it 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
the Corporation 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 the Corporation 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 investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet
date. If the Corporation does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than
not that the Corporation will not 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 payoff 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.
9
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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.
All interest accrued in the current year but not received for loans placed on non-accrual
are reversed against current 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 management’s 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, general, and unallocated 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 weighted
average loss history experienced by the Corporation over a range of the most recent 4
quarters to the most recent 20 quarters. 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 real estate, 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 at the
present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s 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.

FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Troubled Debt Restructurings
Under certain circumstances, the Bank will provide borrowers relief through loan
restructurings and modifications. A loan restructuring constitutes a troubled debt
restructuring (“TDR”) if for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial
difficulties the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise
consider. Restructured loans typically present an elevated level of credit risk as the
borrowers are not able to perform according to the original contractual terms. Loans that
are reported as TDRs are considered impaired and are measured for impairment.
Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at
the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are
recognized through a valuation allowance of which the provision is accounted for in the
consolidated statements of income.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets, including mortgage loans held-for-sale, as described above,
are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control
over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when 1) the assets have been legally
isolated from the Bank, 2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that
constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred
assets and 3) the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets
through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The Bank has no
substantive continuing involvement related to these loans.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and
are recorded in either other assets or accrued interest payable and other liabilities. The
accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument
is determined by whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging
relationship, and, further, by the type of hedging relationship. For derivative
instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the
exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to a particular
risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as
a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same
period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining
gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the
present value of future cash flows of the hedged item (i.e. the ineffective portion), if
any, is recognized in earnings during the period of change.
For cash flow hedging relationships, the Corporation assesses prospective and
retrospective effectiveness as well as measurement based upon the cumulative
hypothetical derivative method. Under the hypothetical derivative method, the
cumulative change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is compared to the
cumulative change in the fair value of a hypothetical derivative. The Corporation uses
the cumulative dollar-offset ratio resulting from the application of the hypothetical
derivative method to assess effectiveness. In addition, the Corporation assesses whether
the hedged forecasted transactions are still probable of occurring, and monitors the
creditworthiness of the Counterparty to determine whether the risk of default continues
to be remote.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Further information on the Corporation’s derivative instrument and hedging activities is
included in Note 8.
Servicing
Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through the
purchase or sale of financial assets. Generally, purchased servicing rights are capitalized
at the cost to acquire the rights. For sales of mortgage loans, a portion of the cost of
originating the loan is allocated to the servicing right based on relative fair value. Fair
value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts when
available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present
value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates
assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing
income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an
inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.
Servicing assets or liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of net
servicing income or net servicing loss and are assessed for impairment or increased
obligation based on fair value of rights compared to amortized cost at each reporting
date. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into tranches based on predominant
risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan category, and investor type. Impairment is
recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual tranche, to the extent that
fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the tranche. If the Bank later
determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular
tranche, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income.
Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans for others. The fees
are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount
per loan and are recognized as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage
servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income, a component of noninterest
income.
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, as incurred.
Bank 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. Premises and equipment and other 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, if lower than the carrying
amount.
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
additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and
12
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both
cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
Bank Owned Life Insurance
The Company holds life insurance policies purchased on the lives of key members of
management. In the event of death of one of these individuals, the Corporation, as
beneficiary of the policies, would receive a specified cash payment equal to the face
value of the policy. Such policies are recorded at their cash surrender value, or the
amount that can be currently realized as of the balance sheet date. The change in cash
surrender value is an adjustment of premiums paid in determining the net expense or
income recognized under the contracts for the year and is included in noninterest
income.
Stock Based Compensation
Compensation cost is recognized for stock options, restricted stock awards issued to
employees, and stock appreciation rights based on the fair value of these awards at the
date of grant. A valuation model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options
and stock appreciation rights. 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. If determined
necessary, 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 has a greater
than 50% likelihood of being realized on examination including the appeals process. 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. Such interest or penalties recorded in 2014 or 2013 were not
significant. As more fully described in note 9, a reversal of a large portion of a deferred
income tax asset valuation allowance in 2013 had a significant effect on net income for
that year.
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is calculated as net income 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. Stock options were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common
share in 2013 because they were antidilutive.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss).
Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities
available for sale and cash flow hedges, 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.
Restrictions on Cash
Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $25,000 was required to
meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and
other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 12. 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.
Reclassifications
Certain items in the prior year consolidated financial statements were reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.
Subsequent Events
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Corporation has evaluated, for
potential recognition or disclosure, significant events or transactions that occurred
during the period subsequent to December 31, 2014, the most recent balance sheet
presented herein, through March 9, 2015, the date these consolidated financial
statements were available to be issued. No significant such events or transactions were
identified.

As of December 31, 2014 , the Corporation’s security portfolio consisted of 66 securities, 20
of which were in an unrealized loss position.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a
quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an
evaluation. In evaluating OTTI, management additionally considers the factors presented in
Note 1. No OTTI was indicated following analysis in 2014 and 2013.
4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Bank originates primarily residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial, and
installment loans. The Corporation estimates that the majority of their loan portfolio is
based in Genesee, Oakland, and Livingston counties within southeast Michigan. The ability of
the Corporation's debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and
general economic conditions in these areas.

Modifications
A modification of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when a borrower is
experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The
Corporation offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan or lease, however,
forgiveness of principal is rarely granted. Commercial loans modified in a TDR often involve
temporary interest-only payments, term extensions, and converting revolving credit lines to
term loans. Additional collateral, a co-borrower, or a guarantor is often requested.
Commercial real estate loans modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate for
the remaining term of the loan, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than
the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or substituting or adding a new
borrower or guarantor. Residential real estate loans modified in a TDR are primarily
comprised of loans where monthly payments are lowered to accommodate the borrowers’
financial needs through a reduction of interest rate and/or extension of the maturity date.
Installment loans modified in a TDR are primarily comprised of loans where the Corporation
has lowered monthly payments by extending the term.
Loans modified in a TDR are typically already on non-accrual status and partial charge-offs
have in some cases been taken against the outstanding loan balance. As a result, loans
modified in a TDR for the Corporation may have the financial effect of increasing the specific
allowance associated with the loan.
The Corporation allocated $642,000 and $893,000 of specific reserves to customers whose
loan terms have been modified in TDRs as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The
Corporation does not have material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers with
loans whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings or whose loans are on
nonaccrual as of December 31, 2014.
The following presents by class, information related to loans modified in a TDR during the

Based on the Corporation’s historical loss experience, losses associated with TDRs are not
significantly different than other impaired loans within the same loan segment. As such,
TDRs are analyzed in the same manner as other impaired loans within their respective loan
segment.

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:
Prime. Loans classified as prime are well seasoned borrowers displaying strong financial
condition, consistently superior earnings performance, and access to a range of financing
alternatives. The borrower’s trends and outlook, as well as those of its industry are
positive.
25
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Pass. Loans classified as pass have a moderate to average risk to established borrowers
that display sound financial condition and operating results. The capacity to service debt
is stable and demonstrated at a level consistent with or above the industry norms.
Borrower and industry trends and outlook are considered good.
Watch. Loans classified as watch have a potential weakness that deserves management’s
close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in
deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s 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 or 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.
Based on the most recent analysis performed, the recorded investment by risk category of
loans by portfolio class is as follows at December 31:

Subordinated Debentures 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 (3 month
LIBOR plus 3.00%) and the current rate at December 31, 2014 is 3.24%. 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 (3 month
LIBOR plus 1.60%) and the current rate at December 31, 2014 is 1.83%. 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.
In the normal course of the interest rate risk management processes, management identified
a possible risk to its interest rate risk profile that exposed the Corporation to a possible rise
in funding costs. Specifically, during management’s review of its Trust Preferred (“Trups”)
facilities referred to above, it noted that the interest rate currently maintains a floating rate
based upon LIBOR. Management determined that the continuation of the Trups facilities at a
floating rate may adversely affect the Corporation’s net interest margin in a possible rising
rate environment, exposing the Corporation to increased interest rate costs.
In the second quarter of 2013, the Corporation entered into an interest rate cap with Wells
Fargo. An interest-rate cap is an over-the-counter derivative that protects the holder from
rises in interest rates by making a payment to the holder when an underlying interest rate
(the "index" interest rate) exceeds a specified strike rate (the "cap rate"). The interest rate
cap is intended to effectively fix the maximum interest rate paid on the Corporation’s trust
preferred securities.
30
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interest rate cap has a notional amount of $12,000,000 and expires on June 15, 2020.
During the term of the interest rate cap the Corporation will receive quarterly payments
from Wells Fargo, calculated as the excess (if any) of LIBOR over the strike rate (2.00%). As
of December 31, 2014 and December 31,2013 the fair value of the interest rate cap was
$398,000 and $813,000 which is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

In assessing whether or not some or all of the deferred tax assets are more likely than not to
be realized in the future, management considers all available positive and negative evidence,
including projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial
performance. Based on an evaluation of the then-available positive and negative evidence,
management determined it was appropriate to establish a full valuation allowance against its
deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2009. At that time, and in subsequent periods, negative
evidence, including a recent cumulative history of operating losses, outweighed the positive
evidence.
However, as of December 31, 2013, management’s assessment concluded that the positive
evidence outweighed the negative evidence and management determined that a full deferred
tax asset valuation allowance was no longer necessary. The significant positive evidence in
management’s analysis included: consecutive quarters of profitability, termination of the
consent agreement with primary regulators, improved capital levels, solid and improving
credit metrics, strong deposit mix, reduced regulatory risk, and a stabilizing economy.
The federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,189,000 will expire
beginning in 2030 if not previously utilized.
32
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A valuation allowance of $1,149,000 was determined to be necessary as of December 31,
2013. No valuation allowance was determined to be necessary as of December 31, 2014. The
partial valuation allowance as of December 31, 2013 was maintained for tax assets associated
with previously generated capital losses for which management determined it was more
likely than not would expire prior to being realized. These capital losses have all expired as
of December 31, 2014.
The deferred tax assets will continue to be analyzed at each reporting period for changes
affecting realizability and the valuation allowance may be adjusted in future periods
accordingly. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on
the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax
results and the valuation of deferred tax assets over time. The accounting for deferred taxes
is based on an estimate of future results. Differences between anticipated and actual
outcomes of these future tax consequences could have an impact on the Corporation’s
consolidated statement of income and balance sheet.
The Corporation concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring
recognition in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements based on the evaluation
performed for the years 2011 through 2014, the years which remain subject to examination
by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2014. The Corporation does not expect the
total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB”) (e.g. tax deductions, exclusions, or credits
claimed or expected to be claimed) to significantly change in the next 12 months.
At December 31, 2012, amounts accrued for uncertain tax positions under examination by the
IRS were $230,000. The amount recorded was for tax positions previously taken and was the
result of the Corporation’s IRS examination covering the 2009 tax year. During 2013 the
Corporation was successful in discussions with the IRS, and as such these amounts are no
longer uncertain. Therefore this liability was reversed when this determination was made.
The Corporation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized or recognized tax benefits
to significantly change within 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 2011.
10. BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has a noncontributory discretionary employee stock ownership plan covering
substantially all of its employees. It is a requirement of the plan to invest principally in the
Corporation's common stock. No contributions were made to the Plan in 2014 and 2013.
The Corporation has also established a 401(k) Plan in which 100% of the employees'
contribution can be matched up to 3% of their gross pay and 50% can be matched on the next
2% of their gross pay with a discretionary contribution by the Corporation. Contributions to
the plan were $170,000 and $41,000 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The balances in these
plans are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
33
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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. At year end 2014 and 2013, the accumulated
liability for these plans totaled $749,000 and $796,000, respectively.
The Corporation has also 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 Bank,
and to provide the officers with supplemental retirement income. The Corporation’s made
no contributions under these arrangements in 2014 or 2013.
11. COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION PLANS
Director and Employee Plans
The Stock Purchase Plan permits directors and employees of the Corporation to purchase
shares of common stock made available for purchase under the plan at the average fair
market value of the shares over the most recent five days prior to the issuance date. The
total number of shares issuable under this plan is limited to 330,000 shares.
The Retainer Stock Plan allows directors to elect to receive shares of common stock in full or
partial payment of the director's 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
Corporation's 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 2014 and 2013.
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
Corporation's 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 Corporation's 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
Corporation's 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 from 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

Stock Option Plans
The Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan provides for granting options to nonemployee
directors to purchase the Corporation's common stock. The purchase price of the shares is
the estimated fair 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 2014
and 2013.
The Employee Stock Option Plan grants options to eligible employees to purchase the
Corporation's 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 2014 and 2013.
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 Corporation’s 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.

No options were exercised during 2014 and 2013. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there
was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under
the Plan.
The Corporation has issued a total of 35,000 stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to the
executive management team, using a price of $2.00 per share. The terms of the SARs
provide that any appreciation in stock price will be paid in cash on two fixed dates which
were subject to certain performance conditions, which management determined were met
during 2013. SAR payment dates vary by individual agreement and range from February 2014
through May 2017. Initial measurement of the SAR’s resulted in recording expense of
$120,000 in 2013. Additional expense of $84,600 was recorded in 2014, resulting in a total
liability of $204,600 and $120,000 at December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013,
respectively. These balance are reflective of vesting through the years then ended and are
recorded in accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
The liability will continue to be re-measured each reporting period with changes recorded on
a prospective ratable basis in salaries and employee benefits expense as further vesting
transpires over the remaining SAR terms. The SAR’s vest immediately upon a change in
ownership control.

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 entity’s own assumptions
about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or
liability.
Securities Available for Sale
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 entity’s 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.
Interest Rate Cap
Substantially all of the derivative instruments held by the Corporation for risk management
purposes are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily
available. For those derivatives, the Corporation measures fair value using models that use
primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities, and include
the value associated with counterparty credit risk. As such, the Corporation classifies those
derivative instruments as Level 2.
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. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for differences between the comparable sales and income data available, which results in a
Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs
to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair
value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and short-term
instruments approximate their fair values.
Securities Held to Maturity
Fair values for securities held to maturity are based on similar information previously
presented for securities available for sale.
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.
FHLB Stock
It was not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its
transferability.
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 of other loans is estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis.
Accrued Interest
The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments
The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material.
Deposits
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.
42
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FHLB Advances
Rates currently available for FHLB advances with similar terms and remaining maturities are
used to estimate the fair value of the existing obligations.
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 data 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 Corporation's entire holdings
of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the
Corporation's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on management's
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.

14. REGULATORY MATTERS
The Corporation (on a consolidated basis) and its Bank subsidiary 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
discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect
on the Corporation and the Bank. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-
balance-sheet items that 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 Bank
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, 2014 and 2013, the
most recent notifications from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the
Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
Management believes, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, that the Company and the Bank
met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
In January 2010, The State Bank entered into a Consent Order with federal and state banking
regulators that contained provisions to foster improvement in The State Bank’s earnings,
lower nonperforming loan levels, increase capital, and required revisions to various policies.
This order was lifted in March 2013 and replaced with an informal action requiring
continuation of certain reporting requirements as well as continued maintenance of an 8.0%
leverage capital ratio. The informal action was lifted in November 2014.
44
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Effective in November 2010, the Corporation received a notice from The Federal Reserve
which defined restrictions being placed upon the holding company. This order was lifted in
August 2013 and replaced with an informal action requiring permission be requested before
paying or declaring a dividend, incurring debt, or purchasing or redeeming shares of the
Corporation’s common stock and restriction of dividend payments without prior regulatory
approval. The informal action was lifted in November 2014.
The Corporation’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from
the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior
approval of regulatory agencies.

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:

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 90 days or less. At
December 31, 2014, loan commitments and unused lines of credit had interest rates ranging
from 2.99% to 6.00% and maturities ranging from 1 month to 30 years.
16. CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Corporation is party to litigation arising during the normal course of business. In the
opinion of management, based on consultation with legal counsel, the resolution of such
litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Environmental Issues
As a result of acquiring real estate from foreclosure proceedings, the Corporation is subject
to potential claims and possible legal proceedings involving environmental matters. No such
claims have been asserted as of December 31, 2014.
