INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 

March 11, 2016 

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, 2015 and 2014, 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, 2015 and 2014, 
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.

  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  47.3%  and  49.3%  of  gross  loans,  and  other  commercial  loans  were  14.5% 
and 15.7% of gross loans at December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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,  2015,  retail  time  deposits  equal  22.6%  of  total  deposits.  This  is  compared  to 
December  31,  2014,  when  retail  time  deposits  consisted  of  24.9%  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  (GAAP)  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. 

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

reported in other comprehensive income.  

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums or discounts. Premiums and 
discounts  on  securities  are  accreted  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.  

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.

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

All interest accrued in the current year but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual 
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. 

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 

9 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC. 

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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.  Other  than  servicing, 
the Bank has no substantive continuing involvement related to these loans. The Bank sold 
residential  mortgage  loans  to  an  unrelated  third  party  with  proceeds  of  $86,063  and 
$57,193  during  the  years  ended  December 31,  2015  and  2014,  respectively,  which 
resulted in a net gain of $1,156 and $667 for 2015 and 2014, respectively. Servicing fee 
income  earned  on  such  loans  was  $222  and  $47  for  2015  and  2014,  respectively,  and  is 
included in other noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income. 

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.

Servicing 
Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through the 
purchase or sale of financial assets. 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.  The 
recorded value of mortgage servicing rights was $1,465 and $646 as of December 31, 2015 
and 2014, respectively. Loans serviced as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, approximated 
$128,745  and  $54,720,  respectively;  such  loans  are  not  included  in  the  accompanying 
consolidated balance sheets. 

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.  Physical 
possession  of  residential  real  estate  property  collateralizing  a  consumer  mortgage  loan 
occurs when legal title is obtained upon completion of foreclosure or when the borrower 
conveys all interest in the property to satisfy the loan through completion of a deed in 
lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. 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

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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 
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  Corporation  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  2015  or  2014  were  not 
significant.  

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 

12

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

customer  collateral  or  ability  to  repay.  Such  financial  instruments  are  recorded  when 
they are funded. 

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.  

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.  

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,  2015,  the  most  recent  balance  sheet 
presented  herein,  through  March  11,  2016,  the  date  these  consolidated  financial

As of December 31, 2015 , the Corporation’s security portfolio consisted of 72 securities, 22 
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 2015 and 2014.  

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  nonaccrual  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 $201 and $642 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms 
have been modified in TDRs as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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, 2015.

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.  

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.

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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  typically  classify 
loans as doubtful. Loans that approach this status are charged-off.

Subordinated Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities 
A trust formed by the Corporation issued $12,000 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,  2015  is  3.51%.  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 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,  2015  is  1.98%.  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.  

The interest rate cap has a notional amount of $12,000 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, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the fair value of the interest rate cap was $191 
and $398 which is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $915 will expire beginning in 
2031 if not previously utilized. 

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 2012 through 2015, the years which remain subject to examination 
by  major  tax  jurisdictions  as  of  December  31,  2015.  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.  

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 2015 and 2014. 

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 $195 and $170 in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The balances in these plans are 
included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. 

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  2015  and  2014,  the  accumulated 
liability  for  these  plans  totaled  $745  and  $749,  respectively,  and  are  included  in  other 
liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  

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 made no 
contributions under these arrangements in 2015 or 2014.

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 2015 and 2014. 

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 
the  family  ownership  percentage  in  the  event  that  stock  repurchase  activity  more  than 
offsets the shares available because of the DRIP.

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 2015 
and 2014.  

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 2015 and 2014. 

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. 

There  was  no  stock  option  activity  in  2015.  The  following  table  summarizes  stock  option 
activity in 2014:

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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. Expense of $204 and $85 was recorded in 2015 and 2014, respectively, resulting in 
a  total  liability  of  $252  and  $205  at  December  31,  2015,  and  December  31,  2014, 
respectively. These balances 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.

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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 
Nonrecurring  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 
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 represent impairment charges recognized during the year:  

Impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral had a 
carrying  amount  of  $2,251,  with  a  valuation  allowance  of  $197  at  December 31,  2015. 
Impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral had a 
carrying amount of $4,808, with a valuation allowance of $637 at December 31, 2014. 

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  $397,  none  of  which  was  at  fair  value  at 
December 31,  2015,  as  no  write-downs  were  taken  during  2015.  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  $2,488,  of  which  $641  was  at  fair  value  at  December 31,  2014,  which

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.

FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC. 

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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  a 
discounted  cash  flow  calculation  that  applies  interest  rates  currently  being  offered  on 
similar certificates.  

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.

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules related to 
the  implementation  of  the  Basel  Committee  on  Banking  Supervision’s  capital  guidelines  for 
U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2015, with full 
compliance of all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully 
phased in by January 1, 2019. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities 
is not included in computing regulatory capital. Capital amounts and ratios for December 31, 
2014, are calculated using Basel I rules. 

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,  2015  and  2014,  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,  2015  and  2014,  that  the  Company  and  the  Bank 
met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. 

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.  

The  tables  below  illustrate  the  regulatory  capital  amounts  and  ratios  as  of  December 31, 
2015 and 2014:

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:

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.
