To Our Shareholders 

March 31, 2011 

Dear Shareholders: 

This  letter  will  provide  you  with  an  update  of  the  2010  results  of  operations  for  Mackinac  Financial  Corporation 
(―MFNC‖), the progress we are making in reducing nonperforming assets and the relative success we’ve had in other areas 
of the Corporation to build franchise value in this trying and difficult economic environment.   

Following are  several  areas  that we  believe  improved  franchise  value  during  2010 and  are  indicative  of  increased 
earnings potential for future periods: 

  We grew core bank deposits by $80 million.  This reduced our reliance on wholesale deposits by $115.4 million, 
reducing  balance  sheet  risk.  We  experienced  core  deposit  growth  in  all  of  our  markets,  with  $40  million  in 
Northern  Lower Michigan, $11 million in Southeast Michigan and $29 million in the  Upper Peninsula. Most of 
our 2010 deposit growth occurred in low cost transactional accounts which grew by $44 million. 

  We continued to experience good loan demand with approximately $114 million of new loan production, which 
included $37 million of mortgage loans sold in the secondary market.  At 2010 year-end, the Corporation’s loans 
stood  at  $383.086  million,  a  slight  decrease  from  the  2009  year-end  balances  of  $384.310  million.  Our  total 
outstanding  loans  declined  by  $1.2  million  after  reductions  for  loan  sales,  (both  SBA/USDA  and  secondary 
market)  amortization  and  payoffs,  some  associated  with  the  elimination  of  problem  assets.  We  continue  to  be 
highly successful in producing well priced high quality loans in the Upper Peninsula with 2010 loan production of 
$81  million.  Loan  production  totaled  $22  million  in  Northern  Lower  Michigan  and  $11  million  in  Southeast 
Michigan where the market have been hit the hardest by the recession. 

 

In 2010 we had continued success in the origination and sales of SBA/USDA loans with total fee income of $.9 
million  in  2010  compared  to  $.5  million  in  fee  income  during  2009.  We  continue  to  be  a  state  leader  in  these 
programs.  

  One  of  our  initiatives  for  2010  was  the  expansion  of  our  consumer  lending  program  by  hiring  several  key 
mortgage  loan  producers  and  the  centralization  of  our  consumer  lending  processing.  This  was  successful,  with 
secondary  market  fee  income  of  $.5  million  in  2010  compared  to  $.3  million  in  2009  and  an  increase  in  total 
consumer loan production from $39 million in 2009 to $60 million in 2010. We also have retained the servicing of 
approximately $27 million of mortgage loans which provides future refinancing opportunities and is a source of 
core deposits. 

  We improved our net interest margin from 3.74% in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 3.88% in 2010’s fourth quarter. 

Given our current funding structure, we expect to see this improve throughout 2011 as well.  

  We had an overall reduction in nonperforming assets from $21.0 million at the end of 2009 to $16.1 million at the 
end of 2010. As noted above, the resolution of problem assets during 2010 impacted our earnings but we divested 
these problem loans and OREO properties so that we could eliminate holding costs and forego the opportunity cost 
that impacts longer-term shareholder value creation.

To Our Shareholders 

2010 Earnings Recap 

In 2010, our operating results were disappointing, as we reported an after tax loss of $1.160 million, or $.34 per share. This 
loss occurred as a result of credit related charges that included a $6.500 million loan loss provision, $2.753 million in 
OREO charges and other related costs associated with problem assets such as legal services and OREO carrying costs. 

As you will note from the chart above, which is not a GAAP measure, the company’s ―core earnings‖ run rate outside of 
credit  related  charges  and  other  one-time  items  has  improved  as  the  result  of  lowered  funding  costs  from  the  significant 
growth  in  our  core  deposit  base,  control  of  non-interest  expenses,  and  increases  in  non-interest  income  from  our 
SBA/USDA lending programs 

Loan Growth/Production 

As stated previously we continue to experience good loan demand as demonstrated with approximately $114 million in new 
loan production during 2010, including $37 million of mortgage loans sold in the secondary market. Our loan balances 
actually declined slightly from year-end 2009 balances. The table below details the 2010 activity. 

Loan production, excluding secondary market mortgage loans of $37 million, in our three geographical regions is shown 
below. 

We have generated loan growth in all regions and we will continue to evaluate growth potential in markets where we can 
grow loans with good credit quality and acceptable loan pricing enhanced by fee income.

To Our Shareholders 

Government Guaranteed Lending Programs 

The Corporation has made a concentrated effort to become a premier SBA/USDA lender throughout the State of Michigan 
and separate ourselves from our local competition in terms of  the adjudication of these types of loans to minimize credit 
risk and increase noninterest income through the  sale of the guaranteed portion of the loans for a premium.  As you will 
note from the chart shown below, we have had success due to the strong competencies of our lenders and credit personnel.  
In addition to the level of SBA production generated, the Corporation recorded $.868 million in fees for 2010, for a total of 
$1.680 million over the last four years.  The Corporation does not sell all the loan guarantees from every credit, only those 
where acceptable market rates are paid above par that warrant recognizing the income now, and where the Corporation feels 
that the reinvestment of the monies paid can be lent out again in sufficient time to exceed the lost interest income from the 
loan sold.  

We are pleased with the progress we have made here; first in terms to the benefit of the Corporation, but also for the many 
local businesses in these  markets that through these  programs are provided the capital to grow their organization to  help 
rebuild the economic base of the State. 

Core Deposit Growth 

One of our primary objectives during 2010 was to decrease our reliance on wholesale funding. 

Shown below is the mix of our deposits for the three most recent years. 

As shown in the table above, core deposits grew by more than $80 million in 2010, 38.5%. 

Noninterest Expense 

Controlling  noninterest  expense  is  a  distinct  challenge  for  a  strategy  based  upon  growth.    We  accept  this  challenge  and 
recognize  that  certain  operational  costs  will  increase  in  future  periods;  however,  we  will  continue  to  use  a  cost  benefit 
analysis to evaluate any major initiatives. In 2010, our operating costs were negatively impacted by costs associated with 
nonperforming  assets,  which  we  expect  to  reduce  in  2011.    We  have  been  successful  in  controlling  most  other  areas  of 
noninterest expense and will continue to focus on becoming more efficient.

Capital/Shareholders’ Equity 

At the end of 2010, the Corporation and the Bank had strong capital positions.  The Corporation had a Tier 1 ratio of 9.25% 
and total risk based capital of 12.62%.  The Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 8.09% with a total risk based capital ratio of 
11.18%.    Common  equity  of  MFNC  totaled  $43.176  million  with  book  value  per  share  at  $12.63.    We  believe  that  our 
franchise is undervalued with a year-end market value of $4.58 per share, which is 36% of book value. 

Building Franchise Value 

As mentioned earlier, with this letter are various charts and graphs which track the performance of the company through the 
last five years in terms of key shareholder metrics and operating performance levels. Over this period the Corporation has 
increased its common stock book value of stock from $7.75 per share at December 31, 2005 to $12.63 at 2010 year end, an 
increase of $4.88 per share, or 63%.  During this five year period, we significantly increased total assets, loans, and core 
deposits which provides the foundation that will lead to future  increases in common shareholders’ equity.  Following this 
letter  is  an  overview  which  provides  a  snapshot  of  the  three  distinctively  different  regions  of  our  franchise,  (Upper 
Peninsula ―UP‖, Northern Lower Peninsula, and Southeast Michigan).  

Looking Forward 

In  2011,  we  will  again  focus  on  increased  franchise  value  with  one  of  our  key  initiatives  being  the  reduction  in 
nonperforming assets.  Another objective is to continue our core deposit growth momentum within all of our markets.  We 
expect  to  have  continued  success  in  new  loan  production  with  increased  fee  contribution  from  both  secondary  market 
mortgage loans and SBA/USDA loan sales.  

While nonperforming assets are currently below peer levels, we still face challenges in accomplishing our goal for further 
reduction  given  the  current  Michigan  economy.    Our  2011  Operating  Plan  calls  for  aggressive  disposition  of  these 
nonearning assets in order to minimize carrying costs. 

The  Corporation  is,  and  will  remain  dedicated  to  the  primary  strategic  objective  of  enhancing  franchise  and  shareholder 
value by building a strong banking franchise in our local markets and serving the communities that provide the business 
opportunities for the company to prosper. 

We sincerely thank you for your continued support during these difficult times and we will work diligently and prudently to 
provide improved shareholder results in the years to come.  

Sincerely,

Southeast Michigan had no contribution to other income for the year ended 2010 due in part to a lack of a secondary 
market mortgage loan producer and management’s focus on overall credit issues in order to reduce levels of nonperforming 
assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

Board of Directors 
Mackinac Financial Corporation, Inc. 

We have audited the consolidated statement of financial condition of Mackinac Financial Corporation, Inc. as of December 
31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for 
each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility 
of  the  Company’s  management.    Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  statements 
based on our audits. 

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United 
States).  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the 
financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.  The  Company  is  not  required  to  have,  nor  were  we  engaged  to 
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over 
financial  reporting  as  a  basis  for  designing  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the 
purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting. 
Accordingly,  we  express  no  such  opinion.  An  audit  also  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the 
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made 
by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.   

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
consolidated  financial  position  of  Mackinac  Financial  Corporation,  Inc.  as  of  December  31,  2010  and  2009  and  the 
consolidated  results  of  their  operations  and  their  cash  flows  for  each  year  in  the  three-year  period  ended  December  31, 
2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The  accounting  policies  of  Mackinac  Financial  Corporation  (the  ―Corporation‖)  and  Subsidiaries  conform  to  accounting 
principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  and  prevailing  practices  within  the  banking  industry.  Significant 
accounting policies are summarized below. 

Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries,  mBank 
(the ―Bank‖) and other minor subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts. 

Nature of Operations 

The Corporation’s and the Bank’s revenues and assets are derived primarily from banking activities. The Bank’s primary 
market  area  is  the  Upper  Peninsula,  the  northern  portion  of  the  Lower  Peninsula  of  Michigan,  and  Oakland  County  in 
Lower Michigan.   The Bank provides to its customers commercial, real estate, agricultural, and consumer loans, as well as 
a variety of traditional deposit products. A portion, approximately 2.1%, of the Bank’s commercial loan portfolio consists 
of  leases  to  commercial  and  governmental  entities,  which  are  secured  by  various  types  of  equipment.  These  leases  are 
dispersed geographically throughout the country.  Less than 1.0% of the Corporation’s business activity  is  with Canadian 
customers and denominated in Canadian dollars. 

While  the  Corporation’s  chief  decision  makers  monitor  the  revenue  streams  of  the  various  Corporation  products  and 
services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Corporation-wide basis. Accordingly, all of 
the Corporation’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. 

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States 
requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue 
and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the 
allowance for loan losses, the valuation of investment securities, the valuation of foreclosed real estate, deferred tax assets, 
and impairment of intangible assets. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

For  purposes  of  reporting  cash  flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  on  hand,  noninterest-bearing  deposits  in 
correspondent banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. 

Securities 

The Corporation’s securities are classified and accounted for as securities available for sale. These securities are stated at 
fair value. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. 
Unrealized  holding  gains  and  losses  on  securities  available  for  sale  are  reported  as  accumulated  other  comprehensive 
income within shareholders’ equity until realized.  When it is determined that securities or other investments are impaired 
and the impairment is other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings and a new basis in the affected 
security is established.  Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the 
specific-identification method.

MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock 

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, the Bank is required to hold stock in the FHLB based on 
the anticipated level of borrowings to be advanced.  This stock is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.  Transfer 
of the stock is substantially restricted.  

Interest Income and Fees on Loans 

Interest income  on loans is reported on the  level-yield  method and includes amortization of deferred loan fees and costs 
over  the  loan  term.    Net  loan  commitment  fees  or  costs  for  commitment  periods  greater  than  one  year  are  deferred  and 
amortized into fee income or other expense on a straight-line basis over the commitment period.  The accrual of interest on 
loans  is  discontinued  when,  in  the  opinion  of  management,  it  is  probable  that  the  borrower  may  be  unable  to  meet 
payments as they become due.  Upon such discontinuance, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.  Loans are returned to 
accrual  status  when  all  principal  and  interest  amounts  contractually  due  are  brought  current  and  future  payments  are 
reasonably assured.  Interest income on impaired and nonaccrual loans is recorded on a cash basis.   

Allowance for Loan Losses 

The allowance for loan losses includes specific allowances related to commercial loans, when they have been judged to be 
impaired.  A loan is impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Corporation will not collect all 
amounts  due  in  accordance  with  the  contractual  terms  of  the  loan  agreement.    These  specific  allowances  are  based  on 
discounted  cash  flows  of  expected  future  payments  using  the  loan’s  initial  effective  interest  rate  or  the  fair  value  of  the 
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. 

The  Corporation  continues  to  maintain  a  general  allowance  for  loan  losses  for  loans  not  considered  impaired.    The 
allowance  for  loan  losses  is  maintained  at  a  level  which  management  believes  is  adequate  to  provide  for  possible  loan 
losses.    Management  periodically  evaluates  the  adequacy  of  the  allowance  using  the  Corporation’s  past  loan  loss 
experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, composition of the portfolio, current economic conditions, and other 
factors.    The  allowance  does  not  include  the  effects  of  expected  losses  related  to  future  events  or  future  changes  in 
economic conditions.  This evaluation is inherently subjective since it requires material estimates that may be susceptible 
to  significant  change.    Loans  are  charged  against  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  when  management  believes  the 
collectability of the principal  is  unlikely.   In addition,  various regulatory agencies periodically review  the allowance  for 
loan  losses.    These  agencies  may  require  additions  to  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  based  on  their  judgments  of 
collectability. 

In  management’s  opinion,  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  adequate  to  cover  probable  losses  relating  to  specifically 
identified loans, as well as probable losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. 

Other Real Estate Held for Sale 

Other real estate held for sale consists of assets acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure and other long-lived assets to be 
disposed  of  by  sale,  whether  previously  held  and  used  or  newly  acquired.    Other  real  estate  held  for  sale  is  initially 
recorded  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  fair  value,  less  costs  to  sell,  establishing  a  new  cost  basis.    Valuations  are  periodically 
performed by management, and the assets’ carrying values are adjusted to the lower of cost basis or fair value less costs to 
sell.    Impairment  losses  are  recognized  for  any  initial  or  subsequent  write-downs.    Net  revenue  and  expenses  from 
operations of other real estate held for sale are included in other expense.

Premises and Equipment 

Premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation.    Maintenance  and  repair  costs  are  charged  to 
expense as incurred.  Gains or losses on disposition of premises and equipment are reflected in income.  Depreciation is 
computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. 

Stock Option Plans 

The Corporation sponsors three stock option plans.  One plan was approved during 2000 and applies to officers, employees, 
and nonemployee directors.   This plan  was amended as a part of the  December 2004 stock offering and recapitalization.  
The  amendment,  approved  by  shareholders,  increased  the  shares  available  under  this  plan  by  428,587  shares  from  the 
original 25,000 (adjusted for the 1:20  reverse stock split), to a total authorized share balance of 453,587.   The other two 
plans, one for officers and employees and the other for nonemployee directors, were approved in 1997.  A total of 30,000 
shares  (adjusted  for  the  1:20  split),  were  made  available  for  grant  under  these  plans.    Options  under  all  of  the  plans  are 
granted  at  the  discretion  of  a  committee  of  the  Corporation’s  Board  of  Directors.    Options  to  purchase  shares  of  the 
Corporation’s  stock  were  granted  at  a  price  equal  to  the  market  price  of  the  stock  at  the  date  of  grant.    The  committee 
determined the vesting of the options when they were granted as established under the plan.  All of the option plans have 
expired. 

Comprehensive Income (Loss) 

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive 
income (loss) is composed of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of tax. 

Earnings per Common Share 

Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding.  The issuance of shares as a result of 
stock options and common stock warrants issued under the TARP Capital Purchase Program did not have a dilutive effect 
on earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. 

The following shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for  the year ended December 31, 2010 and 
2009 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):            

The effect of dilutive common stock warrants is not taken into account when calculating the loss per share in 2010, since it 
would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Income Taxes 

Deferred income taxes  have  been provided under the  liability  method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are  determined 
based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted 
tax rates which will be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax expense (credit) is the result of 
changes in the deferred tax asset and liability.  A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more 
likely than not that some or all of the deferred asset will not be realized.   

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments 

In the ordinary course of business, the  Corporation has entered into off-balance-sheet  financial instruments consisting of 
commitments  to  extend  credit,  commitments  under  credit  card  arrangements,  commercial  letters  of  credit,  and  standby 
letters of credit.  For letters of credit, the Corporation recognizes a liability for the fair  market value of the obligations it 
assumes under that guarantee. 

Recent Developments 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 ―Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Improving 
Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.‖  ASU 2010-06 amends the fair value disclosure guidance.  The amendments 
include new disclosures and changes to clarify existing disclosure requirements.  ASU 2010-06 was effective for interim 
and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, 
issuances, and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The impact of ASU 2010-06 on the Company’s 
disclosures is reflected in Note 18 of the consolidated financial statements. 

In July 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20 ―Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the 
Allowance for Credit Losses‖.  The standard requires the Company to expand disclosures about the credit quality of our 
loans and the related reserves against them.  The additional disclosures will include details on our past due loans and credit 
quality indicators.  For public entities, ASU 2010-20 disclosures of period-end balances are effective for interim and annual 
reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010 and are included in Note 4 of the financial statements.  Disclosures 
related to activity that occurs during the reporting period are required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on 
or after December 15, 2010.  The Company will adopt the disclosures related to the activity that occurs during the reporting 
period beginning with our March 31, 2011 consolidated financial statements. 

Reclassifications 

Certain  amounts  in  the  2009  and  2008  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the  2010 
presentation. 

NOTE 2 – RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  in  the  amount  of  $2.275  million  were  restricted  on  December  31,  2010  to  meet  the  reserve 
requirements of the Federal Reserve System. 

In the normal course of business, the Corporation maintains cash and due  from bank balances with correspondent banks.  
Balances in these accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insured limit of $250,000. 

Management believes that these financial institutions have strong credit ratings and the credit risk related to these deposits 
is minimal.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE 

The carrying value and estimated fair value of securities available for sale are as follows (dollars in thousands): 

Following is information pertaining to securities with gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2010 and 2009 aggregated 
by investment category and length of time these individual securities have been in a loss position (dollars in thousands): 

There  were  two  securities  in  an  unrealized  loss  position  in  2010  and  two  in  2009.    The  gross  unrealized  losses  in  the 
current portfolio are considered temporary in nature and related to interest rate fluctuations.  The Corporation has both the 
ability  and  intent  to  hold  the  investment  securities  until  their  respective  maturities  and  therefore  does  not  anticipate  the 
realization of the temporary losses. 

Following is a summary of the proceeds from sales and calls of securities available for sale, as well as gross gains and

The carrying value and estimated fair value of securities available for sale at December 31, 2010, by contractual maturity, 
are shown below (dollars in thousands): 

Contractual maturities may differ from expected maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations 
with or without call or prepayment penalties.  See Note 8 for information on securities pledged to secure borrowings from 
the Federal Home Loan Bank. 

NOTE 4 - LOANS 

The composition of loans at December 31 is as follows (dollars in thousands): 

An analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31 is as follows (dollars in thousands): 

In 2010, net charge off activity was $5.112 million, or 1.33% of average loans outstanding compared to net charge-offs of 
$2.752 million, or .73% of average loans, in the same period in 2009 and $2.169 million, or .60% of average loans, in 2008.    
During 2010, a provision of $6.500 million was made to increase the reserve.  This provision was made in accordance with 
the Corporation’s allowance for loan loss reserve policy, which calls for a measurement of the adequacy of the reserve at 
each quarter end.  This process includes an analysis of the loan portfolio to take into account increases in loans outstanding 
and portfolio composition, historical loss rates, and specific reserve requirements of nonperforming loans.

NOTE 4 – LOANS (CONTINUED) 

A breakdown of the allowance for loan losses and recorded balances in loans at December 31, 2010 is as follows (dollars in 
thousands): 

As part of the management of the loan portfolio, risk ratings are assigned to all commercial loans.  Through the loan review 
process, ratings are modified as believed to be appropriate to reflect changes in the credit.  Our ability to manage credit risk 
depends in large part on our ability to properly identify and manage problem loans.  To do so, we operate a credit risk rating 
system under which our credit management personnel assign a credit risk rating to each loan at the time of origination and 
review  loans  on  a  regular  basis  to  determine  each  loan’s  credit  risk  rating  on  a  scale  of  1  through  8,  with  higher  scores 
indicating  higher  risk.    The  credit  risk  rating  structure  used  is  shown  below.    In  the  context  of  the  credit  risk  rating 
structure, the term Classified is defined as a problem loan which may or may not be in a nonaccrual status, dependent upon 
current payment status and collectability. 

Excellent (1) 
Borrower is not vulnerable to sudden economic or technological changes and is in a non-seasonal business or industry.  
These loans generally would be characterized by having good experienced management and a strong liquidity position with 
minimal leverage. 

Good (2) 
Borrower shows limited vulnerability to sudden economic change with modest seasonal effect.  Borrower has ―above 
average‖ financial statements and an acceptable repayment history with minimal leverage and a profitability that exceeds 
peers. 

Average (3) 
Generally, a borrower rated as average may be susceptible to unfavorable changes in the economy and somewhat affected 
by seasonal factors.  Some product lines may be affected by technological change.  Borrowers in this category exhibit stable 
earnings, with a satisfactory payment history. 

Acceptable (4) 
The loan is an otherwise acceptable credit that warrants a higher level of administration due to various underlying 
weaknesses.  These weaknesses, however, have not and may never deteriorate to the point of a Special Mention rating or 
Classified status.  This rating category may include new businesses not yet having established a firm performance record.

NOTE 4 – LOANS (CONTINUED) 

Special Mention (5) 
The loan is not considered as a Classified status, however may exhibit material weaknesses that, if not corrected, may cause 
future problems.  Borrowers in this category warrant special attention but have not yet reached the point of concern for loss.  
The borrower may have deteriorated to the point that they would have difficulty refinancing elsewhere.   Similarly, 
purchasers of these businesses would not be eligible for bank financing unless they represent a significantly lessened credit 
risk. 

Substandard (6) 
The loan is Classified and exhibits a number of well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize normal repayment.  The assets are 
no longer adequately protected due to declining net worth, lack of earning capacity or insufficient collateral offering the 
distinct possibility of the loss of a portion of the loan principal.  Loans within this category clearly represent troubled and 
deteriorating credit situations requiring constant supervision and an action plan must be developed and approved by the 
appropriate officers to mitigate the risk. 

Doubtful (7) 
Loans in this category exhibit the same weaknesses used to describe the substandard credit; however, the traits are more 
pronounced.  Loans are frozen with collection improbable.  Such loans are not yet rated as Charge-off because certain 
actions may yet occur which would salvage the loan. 

Charge-off/Loss (8) 
Loans in this category are largely uncollectible and should be charged against the loan loss reserve immediately. 

General Reserves: 
For loans with a credit risk rating of 5 or better and any loans with a risk rating of 6 or 7 with no specific reserve, reserves 
are  established  based  on  the  type  of  loan  collateral,  if  any,  and  the  assigned  credit  risk  rating.    Determination  of  the 
allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future 
cash  flows  on  impaired  loans,  estimated  losses  on  pools  of  homogenous  loans  based  on  historical  loss  experience,  and 
consideration of current environmental factors and economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. 

Using a  historical average loss by loan type  as a base, each loan  graded as higher risk is assigned a specific percentage.  
Within the commercial loan portfolio, the historical loss rates are used for specific industries such as hospitality, gaming, 
petroleum,  and  forestry.    The  residential  real  estate  and  consumer  loan  portfolios  are  assigned  a  loss  percentage  as  a 
homogenous group.  If, however, on an individual loan the projected loss based on collateral value and payment histories 
are in excess of  the computed allowance, the allocation is increased for the  higher anticipated loss.  These computations 
provide the basis for the allowance for loan losses as recorded by the Corporation.

NOTE 4 – LOANS (CONTINUED) 

Impaired Loans 

Nonperforming loans are those  which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments, on 
nonaccrual  status,  or  loans,  the  terms  of  which  have  been  renegotiated  to  provide  a  reduction  or  deferral  on  interest  or 
principal.  The interest income recorded during impairment and that which would have been recognized were $.141 million 
and $.583 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, the amounts were $.040 
million and $.700 million. 

The  accrual  of  interest  on  loans  is  discontinued  when,  in  management’s  opinion,  the  borrower  may  be  unable  to  meet 
payment  obligations  as  they  become  due,  as  well  as  when  required  by  regulatory  provisions.    When  interest  accrual  is 
discontinued,  all  unpaid  accrued  interest  is  reversed.    Interest  income  is  subsequently  recognized  only  to  the  extent  cash 
payments are received in excess of principal due.  Loans are  returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest 
amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. 

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Corporation will be unable 
to  collect  all  amounts  due  in  accordance  with  the  original  contractual  terms  of  the  loan  agreement,  including  scheduled 
principal and interest payments.  Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature and on an 
individual loans basis for other loans.  If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that 
the loan is reported net, 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.  Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied 
to  principal  unless  collectability  of  the  principal  amount  is  reasonably  assured,  in  which  case  interest  is  recognized  on  a 
cash basis.  Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) 

Deferred  income  taxes  are  provided  for  the  temporary  differences  between  the  financial  reporting  and  tax  bases  of  the 
Corporation’s assets and liabilities. The major components of net deferred tax assets at December 31 are as follows (dollars 
in thousands): 

A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred 
tax  asset  will  not  be  realized.    At  March  31,  2010  Management  evaluated  the  valuation  allowance.    An  analysis  of  the 
deferred tax asset was made to determine the utilization of those tax benefits based upon projected future taxable income.  
At that time, based upon management’s determination and in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles, 
that it was ―more likely than not‖ that a portion of these benefits would be utilized, a $3.500 million valuation adjustment 
was made as a credit to income tax expense.  Among the criteria that management considered in evaluating the deferred tax 
asset  was  taxable  income  for  the  three  most  recent  taxable  years  ending  December  31,  2009  which  totaled  $8.2  million. 
This taxable income allowed the Corporation to utilize NOL carryforwards. 

Management assessed the valuation allowance for the second and third quarters of 2010 and determined that no additional 
adjustment was deemed appropriate.  At December 31, 2010, based upon further analysis, and in recognition of the current 
period  operating  loss  before  taxes,  management  determined  that  an  adjustment  to  the  valuation  was  appropriate  and 
increased  the  valuation  allowance  by  $1.364  million  with  an  increase  to  current  tax  expense.    The  Corporation,  as  of 
December 31, 2010 had a net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $27.5 million, 
and $2.1 million, respectively.  

The Corporation will continue to evaluate the future benefits from these carryforwards and at such time as it became ―more 
likely than not‖ that they would be utilized prior to expiration will recognize the additional benefits as an adjustment to the

carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in the year 2023.   A portion of the NOL, approximately $17.0 million, 
and all of  the credit carryforwards are subject to the limitations for  utilization as  set  forth in  Section 382 of the Internal 
Revenue  Code.    The  annual  limitation  is  $1.400  million  for  the  NOL  and  the  equivalent  value  of  tax  credits,  which  is 
approximately  $.477  million.    These  limitations  for  use  were  established  in  conjunction  with  the  recapitalization  of  the 
Corporation in December 2004.

NOTE 10 – OPERATING LEASES 

The Corporation currently  maintains three operating leases for branch office  locations.   The first operating lease,  for our 
location in Birmingham, was originated in September 2005 and had an original term of 66 months with an option to renew 
for an additional five year period.  It is anticipated that the original term of this will be extended for an additional three year 
term. 

The second operating  lease,  for our  location in Escanaba,  was executed in  December 2008, the terms of  which began  in 
April  2009.    The  original  term  of  this  lease  is  three  years  and  will  automatically  renew  and  extend  for  four  additional 
consecutive  terms  of  two  years  each,  but  either  party  may  elect  to  terminate  by  providing  notice  of  such  election  to  the 
other party at least 120 days prior to the end of the then-current term.  The additional terms call for a lease adjustment based 
on the Consumer Price Index at time of renewal.   

The third operating lease, for our new location in Manistique, was executed in April 2010, the terms of which began at that 
time.  The original term of this lease is three years and will automatically renew and extend for four additional consecutive 
terms of two years each. 

Future minimum payments, by year and in the aggregate, under the initial terms of the operating lease agreements, consist 
of the following (dollars in thousands): 

Rent expense for all operating leases amounted to $270,000 in 2010, $207,000 in 2009, and $195,000 in 2008. 

NOTE 11 – RETIREMENT PLAN 

The Corporation has established a 401(k) profit sharing plan.  Employees who have completed three months of service and 
attained the age of 18 are eligible to participate in the plan.  Eligible employees can elect to  have a portion, not to exceed 
80%, of their annual compensation paid into the plan.  In addition, the Corporation may make discretionary contributions 
into the plan.  Retirement plan contributions charged to operations totaled $110,000, $120,000, and $90,000 in 2010, 2009, 
and 2008, respectively. 

NOTE 12 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 

As an incentive to retain key members of management and directors, the Corporation established a deferred compensation 
plan, with benefits based on the number of years the individuals have served the Corporation.   This plan was discontinued 
and no longer applies to current officers and directors.   A liability  was recorded on a present value basis and discounted 
using  the  rates  in  effect  at  the  time  the  deferred  compensation  agreement  was  entered  into.    The  liability  may  change 
depending upon changes in long-term interest rates.  The liability at December 31, 2010 and 2009, for vested benefits under 
this plan, was $.725 million and $.815 million, respectively.  These benefits were originally contracted to be paid over a ten 
to  fifteen-year  period.    The  final  payment  is  scheduled  to  occur  in  2023.    The  deferred  compensation  plan  is  unfunded; 
however, the Bank maintains life insurance policies on the majority of the plan participants.  The cash surrender value of 
the policies was $1.559 million and $1.464 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Deferred compensation 
expense for the plan was $43,000, $72,000, and $84,000 for 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTE 13 – REGULATORY MATTERS 

The Corporation is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure 
to  meet  minimum capital requirements can initiate certain  mandatory—and possibly additional discretionary—actions by 
regulators  that,  if  undertaken,  could  have  a  direct  material  effect  on  the  Corporation’s  consolidated  financial  statements.  
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation must meet 
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Corporation’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-
sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Corporation’s capital amounts and classification are 
also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. 

Quantitative  measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation to maintain minimum 
amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier  1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to 
average assets.  Management has determined that, as of December 31, 2010, the Corporation is well capitalized. 

To  be  categorized  as  well  capitalized,  the  Bank  must  maintain  minimum  total  risk-based,  Tier  1  risk-based,  and  Tier  1 
leverage  ratios  as  set  forth  in  the  table.    In  addition,  federal  banking  regulators  have  established  capital  classifications 
beyond  the  minimum  requirements  in  order  to  risk-rate  deposit  insurance  premiums  and  to  provide  trigger  points  for 
prompt corrective action.   

The Corporation’s and the Bank’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios as of December 31 are as follows (dollars 
in thousands): 

At December 31, 2010, the Bank was not authorized to pay dividends to the Corporation without prior regulatory approval 
because of a negative retained earnings balance due to cumulative losses.

NOTE 14 – STOCK OPTION PLANS  

The Corporation sponsors three stock option plans.  All historical information presented below has been adjusted to reflect 
the 1 for 20 reverse stock split which occurred on December 16, 2004.  One plan was approved during 2000 and applies to 
officers, employees, and non-employee directors.  A total of 25,000 shares were made available for grant under this plan.  
This plan was amended as a part of the recapitalization to provide for additional authorized shares equal to 12.50% of all 
outstanding shares subsequent to the recapitalization, which amounted to 428,587 shares.   This plan expired on February 
15, 2010.  The other two plans, one for officers and employees and the other for non-employee directors, were approved in 
1997 and expired in 2007.  A total of 30,000 shares were made available for grant under these plans.  Options under all of 
the plans are granted at the discretion of a committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors.  Options to purchase shares 
of the Corporation’s stock are granted at a price equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant.  The committee 
determines the vesting of the options when they are granted as established under the plan. 

A summary of stock option transactions for the years ended December 31 is as follows: 

There were no options granted in 2010 and in 2009.

NOTE 14 – STOCK OPTION PLANS (CONTINUED)  

Options issued since the Corporation’s recapitalization in December of 2004 call for 20% immediate vesting upon issue and 
subsequent  vesting  to  occur  over  a  two  to  five  year  period,  based  upon  the  market  value  appreciation  of  the  underlying 
Corporation’s  stock.    Compensation  related  to  these  options  is  expensed  based  upon  the  vesting  period  without 
consideration  given  to  market  value  appreciation.    There  are  no  future  compensation  expenses  related  to  existing  option 
programs.

Other comprehensive income (loss) components and related taxes for the years ended December 31 are as follows (dollars

NOTE 16 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY 

Participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program 

On  April  24,  2009,  the  Corporation  entered  into  and  closed  a  Letter  Agreement,  including  the  Securities  Purchase 
Agreement-Standard  Terms  (collectively,  the  ―Securities  Purchase  Agreement‖),  related  to  the  CPP.    Pursuant  to  the 
Securities  Purchase  Agreement,  the  Corporation  issued  and  sold  to  the  Treasury  (i)  11,000  shares  of  the  Corporation’s 
Series A Preferred Shares, and (ii) a 10-year Warrant to purchase 379,310 shares of the Corporation’s Common Shares, at 
an  exercise  price  of  $4.35  per  share  (subject  to  certain  anti-dilution  and  other  adjustments),  for  aggregate  proceeds  of 
$11.000 million in cash.   

As a result of the CPP transaction, the Corporation is required to take certain actions, for so long as the Treasury holds any 
securities acquired from the Corporation pursuant to the CPP (excluding any period in which the Treasury holds only the 
Warrant to purchase Common Shares of the Corporation) (the ―CPP Period‖), to ensure that its executive compensation and 
benefit plans with respect to Senior Executive Officers (as defined in the relevant agreements) comply with Section 111(b) 
of Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (―EESA‖), as implemented by any guidance or regulations issued under 
Section  111(b)  of  EESA,  and  not  adopt  any  benefit  plans  with  respect  to,  or  which  cover,  the  Corporation’s  Senior 
Executive Officers that do not comply with EESA, as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 
(the ―ARRA‖), which was passed by Congress and signed by the President on February 17, 2009.  The applicable executive 
compensation standards generally remain in effect during the CPP Period and apply to the Corporation’s Senior Executive 
Officers (which for purposes of the ARRA and the CPP agreements, includes the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, its 
Chief  Financial  Officer,  and  the  next  three  most  highly-compensated  executive  officers,  even  though  the  Corporation’s 
senior executive officers consist of a smaller group of executives for purposes of the other compensation disclosures in this 
proxy statement).

NOTE 16 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED) 

Amounts recorded for Preferred Stock and Warrant Common Stock were estimated based on an allocation of the total 
proceeds from the issuance on the relative fair values of both instruments.  Fair value of the Preferred Stock was determined 
based on assumptions regarding the discount rate (market rate) on the Preferred Stock (estimated 12%).  Fair value of the 
Warrant Common Stock is based on the value of the underlying Preferred Stock based on an estimate for a three year term.  
The allocation of the proceeds received resulted in the recording of a discount on the Preferred Stock and a premium on the 
Warrant Common Stock.  The discount on the preferred will be accreted on an effective yield basis over a three-year term.  
The allocated carrying value of the Preferred Stock and Warrant Common Stock on the date of issuance (based on their 
relative fair values) was $10.382 million and $.618 million, respectively.  Cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock are 
payable at 5% annum for the first five years and at a rate of 9% per annum thereafter on the liquidation preference of 
$1,000 per share.  The Company is prohibited from paying any dividend with respect to shares of common stock unless all 
accrued and unpaid dividends are paid in full on the Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods.  The Preferred Stock is 
non-voting, other than class voting rights on matters that could adversely affect the Preferred Stock.  The Preferred Stock 
may be redeemed at any time with regulatory approval.  The Treasury may also transfer the Preferred Stock to a third party 
at any time.  The preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 Capital for regulatory purposes at the holding company. 

The Corporation has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares at any time after consulting with its primary 
regulator, in which case the executive compensation standards would no longer apply to the Corporation. 

The Corporation is considering whether or not to participate in the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund program 
(―SBLF‖).  The Corporation has applied for funding under the SBLF, but has not yet received approval, nor has the 
Corporation determined if it will participate if approved.  This SBLF program would allow the Corporation to pay off the 
TARP preferred and also requires an injection of capital into the Bank which is dependent upon the amount of the total 
SBLF funding less the $11 million of TARP preferred. 

NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND CREDIT RISK 

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk 

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the 
financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of 
credit.  Those  instruments  involve,  to  varying  degrees,  elements  of  credit  risk  in  excess  of  the  amount  recognized  in  the 
consolidated balance sheets. 

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for 
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. 
The  Corporation  uses  the  same  credit  policies  in  making  commitments  and  conditional  obligations  as  it  does  for  on-
balance-sheet instruments. These commitments at December 31 are as follows (dollars in thousands): 

Commitments  to  extend  credit  are  agreements  to  lend  to  a  customer  as  long  as  there  is  no  violation  of  any  condition 
established  in  the  contract.    Commitments  generally  have  fixed  expiration  dates  or  other  termination  clauses  and  may 
require  payment  of  a  fee.    Since  many  of  the  commitments  are  expected  to  expire  without  being  drawn  upon,  the  total 
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Corporation evaluates each customer’s

creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon 
extension  of  credit,  is  based  on  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the  party.    Collateral  held  varies,  but  may  include 
accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer 
to a third party.  Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  The credit 
risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the  same as that involved in extending loan  facilities to customers.  
The commitments are structured to allow for 100% collateralization on all standby letters of credit. 

Credit  card  commitments  are  commitments  on  credit  cards  issued  by  the  Corporation’s  subsidiary  and  serviced  by  other 
companies.  These commitments are unsecured. 

Contingencies 

In the normal course of business the Corporation is involved in various legal proceedings.   

Concentration of Credit Risk 

The  Bank  grants  commercial,  residential,  agricultural,  and  consumer  loans  throughout  Michigan.    The  Bank’s  most 
prominent  concentration  in  the  loan  portfolio  relates  to  commercial  real  estate  loans  to  operators  of  nonresidential 
buildings.  This concentration at December 31, 2010 represents $58.114 million, or 19.56%, compared to $48.689 million, 
or  15.93%, of the  commercial loan portfolio  on December 31, 2009.  The  remainder of the commercial loan portfolio is 
diversified  in  such  categories  as  hospitality  and  tourism,  real  estate  agents  and  managers,  new  car  dealers,  gaming, 
petroleum,  forestry,  agriculture,  and  construction.    Due  to  the  diversity  of  the  Bank’s  locations,  the  ability  of  debtors  of 
residential and consumer loans to honor their obligations is not tied to any particular economic sector.  

NOTE 18 - FAIR VALUE  

Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Corporation’s financial instruments: 

Cash, cash equivalents, and interest-bearing deposits - The carrying values approximate the fair values for these assets.  

Securities - Fair values are based on quoted market prices where available.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair 
value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. 

Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  stock  –  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  stock  is  carried  at  cost,  which  is  its  redeemable  value  and 
approximates its fair value, since the market for this stock is limited.  

Loans - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type 
such  as  commercial,  residential  mortgage,  and  other  consumer.    The  fair  value  of  loans  is  calculated  by  discounting 
scheduled cash flows using discount rates reflecting the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan.   

The  methodology  in  determining  fair  value  of  nonaccrual  loans  is  to  average  them  into  the  blended  interest  rate  at  0% 
interest.  This has the effect of decreasing the carrying amount below the risk-free rate amount and, therefore, discounts the 
estimated fair value.   

Impaired loans are measured at the estimated fair value of the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate 
or the fair value of the collateral for loans which are collateral dependent.  Therefore, the carrying values of impaired loans 
approximate the estimated fair values for these assets.

NOTE 18 - FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) 

Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as  noninterest-bearing demand deposits and savings, is 
equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted 
value of contractual cash flows applying interest rates currently being offered on similar time deposits.  

Borrowings - Rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair 
value of existing debt.  The fair value of borrowed funds due on demand is the amount payable at the reporting date. 

Accrued interest - The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value. 

Off-balance-sheet instruments - The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into 
similar agreements, taking into account the  remaining terms of the agreements, the current interest rates,  and the present 
creditworthiness of the counterparties.  Since the differences in the current fees and those reflected to the off-balance-sheet 
instruments at year-end are immaterial, no amounts for fair value are presented. 

The following table presents information for financial instruments at December 31 (dollars in thousands): 

Limitations  -  Fair  value  estimates  are  made  at  a  specific  point  in  time  based  on  relevant  market  information  and 
information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from 
offering for sale at one time the 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 judgments regarding 
future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, 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.  Fair value 
estimates are based on existing on-and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of 
anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  Significant 
assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include premises and equipment, other assets,  and 
other liabilities.  In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the  unrealized gains and losses can have a 
significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

NOTE 18 - FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) 

The  following  is  information  about  the  Corporation’s  assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  basis  at 
December 31, 2010, and the valuation techniques used by the Corporation to determine those fair values. 

Level 1: 
liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access. 

     In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or                            

Level 2:          Fair values determined  by  Level 2 inputs  use  other inputs that are observable,  either directly or indirectly.  
These  Level  2  inputs  include  quoted  prices  for  similar  assets  and  liabilities  in  active  markets,  and  other  inputs  such  as 
interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. 

Level 3:          Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs available in situations  where there is little, if any,     
market activity for the related asset or liability. 

The fair value of all investment securities at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were based on level 2 inputs.  
There are no other assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value.  For additional information regarding 
investment securities, please refer to ―Note 3 – Investment Securities.‖ 

The Corporation had no Level 3 assets or liabilities on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009. 

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value 
measurements  in  their  entirety  are  categorized  based  on  the  lowest  level  input  that  is  significant  to  the  valuation.    The 
Corporation’s assessment of the  significance of particular inputs to these fair value  measurements requires judgment  and 
considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

NOTE 18 - FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) 

The Corporation also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring 
basis.  These assets include loans and other real estate owned.  The Corporation has estimated the fair values of these assets 
using Level 3 inputs, specifically discounted cash flow projections.   

The Corporation had no investments subject to fair value measurement on a nonrecurring basis. 

Impaired  loans  categorized  as  Level  3  assets  consist  of  non-homogeneous  loans  that  are  considered  impaired.    The 
Corporation  estimates  the  fair  value  of  the  loans  based  on  the  present  value  of  expected  future  cash  flows  using 
management’s  best  estimate  of  key  assumptions.    These  assumptions  include  future  payment  ability,  timing  of  payment 
streams, and estimated realizable values of available collateral (typically based on outside appraisals).

MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

MARKET INFORMATION 
 (Unaudited) 

The Corporation’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol MFNC.  The following table 
sets  forth  the  range  of  high  and  low  trading  prices  of  the  Corporation’s  common  stock  from  January  1,  2009  through 
December 31, 2010, as reported by NASDAQ.   

The Corporation had 1,216 shareholders of record as of March 30, 2011. 

The holders of the Corporation’s common stock are entitled to dividends when, and if declared by the Board of Directors of 
the Corporation, out of funds legally available for that purpose.  In determining dividends, the Board of Directors considers 
the earnings, capital requirements and financial condition of the Corporation and its subsidiary bank, along with other 
relevant factors.  The Corporation’s principal source of funds for cash dividends is the dividends paid by the Bank.  The 
ability of the Corporation and the Bank to pay dividends is subject to regulatory restrictions and requirements.  The Bank 
currently has a negative retained earnings position which precludes payment of dividends.  The Bank, in order to pay 
dividends, would need to eliminate the negative retained earnings position and have regulatory approval.  There were no 
dividends declared or paid in 2008, 2009 and 2010.  There were no sales of unregistered securities in 2010, nor were there 
any repurchases of the Corporation’s common stock in 2010.

Forward Looking Statements 

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange  Act of 1934, as amended.  The Corporation intends such forward-
looking  statements  to  be  covered  by  the  safe  harbor  provisions  for  forward-looking  statements  contained  in  the  Private 
Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995  and  is  including  this  statement  for  purposes  of  these  safe  harbor  provisions.  
Forward-looking statements which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, or expectations of 
the  Corporation,  are  generally  identifiable  by  use  of  the  words  ―believe‖,  ―expect‖,  ―intend‖,  ―anticipate‖,  ―estimate‖, 
―project‖, or similar expressions.  The Corporation’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies 
is  inherently  uncertain.    Factors  that  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ  from  the  results  in  forward-looking  statements 
include, but are not limited to:   

  The highly regulated environment in which the Corporation operates could adversely affect its ability to carry out 

its strategic plan due to restrictions on new products, funding opportunities or new market  entrances; 
  General economic conditions, either nationally or in the state(s) in which the Corporation does business; 
  Legislation or regulatory changes which affect the business in which the Corporation is engaged; 
  Changes in the level and volatility of interest rates which may negatively affect the Corporation’s interest margin; 
  Changes  in  securities  markets  with  respect  to  the  market  value  of  financial  assets  and  the  level  of  volatility  in 

certain markets such as foreign exchange; 

  Significant  increases  in  competition  in  the  banking  and  financial  services  industry  resulting  from  industry 

consolidation, regulatory changes and other factors, as well as action taken by particular competitors;  

  The ability of borrowers to repay loans; 
  The effects on liquidity of unusual decreases in deposits; 
  Changes in consumer spending, borrowing, and saving habits; 
  Technological changes; 
  Acquisitions and unanticipated occurrences which delay or reduce the expected benefits of acquisitions; 
  Difficulties in hiring and retaining qualified management and banking personnel; 
  The Corporation’s ability to increase market share and control expenses; 
  The effect of compliance with legislation or regulatory changes; 
  The effect of changes in accounting policies and practices; 
  The costs and effects of existing and future litigation and of adverse outcomes in such litigation; and 
  An increase in the Corporation’s FDIC insurance premiums, or the collection of special assessments by the FDIC. 

These  risks  and  uncertainties  should  be  considered  in  evaluating  forward-looking  statements.    Further  information 
concerning  the  Corporation  and  its  business,  including  additional  factors  that  could  materially  affect  the  Corporation’s 
financial  results,  is  included  in  the  Corporation’s  filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.    All  forward-
looking statements contained in this report are based upon information presently available and the Corporation assumes no

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

OVERVIEW 

The following discussion and analysis presents the more significant factors affecting the Corporation’s financial condition 
as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of operations for 2008 through 2010. This discussion also covers asset 
quality, liquidity, interest rate sensitivity, and capital resources for the years 2009 and 2010.  The information included in 
this discussion is intended to  assist readers in their analysis of, and should be read in conjunction  with, the consolidated 
financial statements and related notes and other supplemental information presented elsewhere in this report.  Throughout 
this discussion, the term ―Bank‖ refers to mBank, the principal banking subsidiary of the Corporation.   

Taxable equivalent adjustments are the result of increasing income from tax-free loans and investments by an amount equal 
to the taxes that would be paid if the income were fully taxable based on a 34% federal tax rate, thus making tax-exempt 
yields comparable to taxable asset yields.   

Dollar amounts in tables are stated in thousands, except for per share data. 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

The purpose of this section is to provide a brief summary of the 2010 results of operations and financial condition.  A more 
detailed analysis of the results of operations and financial condition follows this summary. 

The Corporation reported a loss available to common shareholders in 2010 of $1.160 million, or $.34 per share, compared 
to net income of $1.907 million, $.56 per share, in 2009 and net income in 2008 of $1.872 million, $.55 per share. 

Total  assets  of  the  Corporation  at  December  31,  2010,  were  $478.696  million,  a  decrease  of  $36.681  million,  or  7.12% 
from total assets of $515.377 million reported at December 31, 2009.   In 2010, the Corporation reduced excess liquidity 
and reliance on wholesale funding. 

At  December  31,  2010,  the  Corporation’s  loans  stood  at  $383.086  million,  a  decrease  of  $1.224  million,  or  .32%,  from 
2009 year-end balances of $384.310 million.  Loan balances were impacted by normal amortization and paydowns.  A good 
portion  of  these  payoffs  pertained  to  loan  relationships  that  no  longer  met  our  pricing  or  credit  standards.    Total  loan 
production in 2010 amounted to $113.8 million, which included $36.7 million of secondary market mortgage loans.   The 
Corporation also sold $12.6 million of SBA/USDA guaranteed loans.   

Nonperforming  loans  totaled  $10.563  million,  or  2.76%  of  total  loans  at  December  31,  2010.    Nonperforming  assets  at 
December 31, 2010, were $16.125 million, 3.37% of total assets, compared to $21.041 million or 4.08% of total assets at 
December 31, 2009. 

Total  deposits  decreased  from  $421.389  million  at  December  31,  2009,  to  $386.779  million  at  December  31,  2010,  a 
decrease  of  8.21%.    The  decrease  in  deposits  in  2010  was  comprised  of  a  decrease  in  wholesale  deposits  of  $115.396 
million and an increase in core deposits of $80.786 million. 

Shareholders’  equity  totaled  $53.882  million  at  December  31,  2010,  compared  to  $55.299  million  at  the  end  of  2009,  a 
decrease  of  $1.417  million.    This  decrease  reflects  the  consolidated  net  loss  of  $1.160  million,  the  $32,000  capital 
contribution impact of stock options, the decrease in the market value of available-for-sale investments, which amounted to 
$.481 million and the decrease from the accretion of the discount on preferred stock of $.192 million.  The book value per 
common share at December 31, 2010, amounted to $12.63 compared to $13.10 at the end of 2009.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Summary 
The Corporation reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $1.160 million in 2010, compared to net income 
of $1.907 million in 2009 and a net income of $1.872 million in 2008.  The 2010 results include  elevated costs associated 
with  nonperforming  assets,  including  loan  loss  provisions  of  $6.500  million  and  OREO  write-downs  and  gains/losses  of 
$2.753  million.    Also  included  in  the  2010  results  are  security  gains  of  $.215  million.    The  2009  results  include  $1.208 
million of gains related to branch office sales and $1.471 million of security gains.  The 2008 operating results include the 
positive effect, $3.475 million of a lawsuit settlement, and the negative effect, $.425 million of a severance agreement.   

Net Interest Income 

Net  interest  income  is  the  Corporation’s  primary  source  of  core  earnings.    Net  interest  income  represents  the  difference 
between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing funding sources.  
Net interest revenue is the Corporation’s principal source of revenue, representing 89% of total revenue in 2010.  The net 
interest income is impacted by economic and competitive factors that influence rates, loan demand, and the availability of 
funding. 

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased $.098 million from $16.287 in 2009 to $16.385 million, in 2010. 
Attributing to the overall decrease in net interest income was a reduction in investment securities which were sold late in 
2009 in order to reduce excess liquidity and lower market interest rate risk.  The proceeds from these sales  were used to 
repay maturing wholesale deposits.  In 2010, interest rates were somewhat stable with the prime rate at 3.25% for the entire 
year.  The Corporation experienced a modest reduction, 14 basis points, in the overall rates on earnings assets from 5.26% 
in 2009 to 5.12% in 2010.  Interest bearing funding sources also declined, by 22 basis points, from 1.82% in 2009 to 1.60% 
in  2010.    The  combination  of  these  rate  reductions  resulted  in  an  improved  net  interest  margin  from  3.62%  in  2009  to 
3.68% in 2010. 

In  2009,  the  Corporation  realized  an  increase  of  $3.423  million  in  net  interest  income.    A  portion  of  this  increase  was 
attributed to higher levels of investment securities which were funded by lower cost wholesale funding sources.  In 2009,

wholesale environment were significantly more attractive than offering rates by competitors in local markets.  In addition to 
the benefits derived from lower rates or wholesale deposit instruments a number of new or rewritten loans were structured 
with interest rate floors that locked in a near term favorable interest rate spread. 

The following table details sources of net interest income for the three years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands): 

As  shown  in  the  table  above,  income  on  loans  provides  more  than  90%  of  the  Corporation’s  interest  revenue.    The 
Corporation’s loan portfolio has approximately 71% of variable rate loans that predominantly reprice with changes in the 
prime  rate  and  29%  of  fixed  rate  loans.    A  majority  of  the  variable  rate  loans,  60%,  or  $160  million,  have  interest  rate 
floors.  These loans will not reprice until the prime rate increases to the extent necessary to surpass the interest rate floor.  A 
prime rate increase of 100 basis points or more will reprice $66 million of these loans with floors, while the remainder will 
reprice with a 200 basis point increase in the prime rate. 

The  majority  of  interest  bearing  liabilities  do  not  reprice  automatically  with  changes  in  interest  rates,  which  provides 
flexibility to manage interest income.  Management monitors the interest sensitivity of earning assets and interest bearing 
liabilities to minimize the risk of movements in interest rates.

  For purposes of these computations, non-accruing loans are included in the daily average loan amounts outstanding. 
   The amount of interest income on nontaxable securities and loans has been adjusted to a tax equivalent basis, using a 34% tax rate. 
   Interest income on loans includes loan fees.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The  following  table  presents  the  dollar  amount,  in  thousands,  of  changes  in  taxable  equivalent  interest  income  and  interest 
expense  for  major  components  of  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  obligations.    It  distinguishes  between  changes 
related to higher or lower outstanding balances and changes due to the levels and fluctuations in interest rates.  For each category 
of  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  obligations,  information  is  provided  for  changes  attributable  to  (i)  changes  in 
volume (i.e. changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e. changes in rate multiplied by prior 
period volume).  For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume are shown as a separate variance. 

Provision for Loan Losses 

The Corporation records a provision for loan losses when it believes it is necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses 
to maintain an adequate level after considering factors such as loan charge-offs and recoveries, changes in identified levels 
of risk in the loan portfolio, changes in the mix of loans in the portfolio, loan growth, and other economic factors.  During 
2010, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan loss of $6.500 million, compared to a provision of $3.700 million in 
2009.  The higher provision for 2010 was due in large part to an elevated level of charge-offs which totaled $5.112 million, 
or 1.33% of average loans compared to $2.752 million or .73% on average loans in 2009. 

Noninterest Income 

Noninterest  income  was  $2.795  million,  $4.751  million,  and  $4.653  million  in  2010,  2009,  and  2008, respectively.    The 
principal recurring sources of noninterest income are the gains on the sale of secondary market loans and fees for services 
related  to  deposit  and  loan  accounts.    In  2010,  the  Corporation  expanded  its  efforts  to  generate  increased  income  from 
secondary market loans by adding additional staff and centralizing processing activities.  In 2009, the Corporation recorded

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following table details noninterest income for the three years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands): 

Total revenues from the loan sale activities amounted to $1.407 million in 2010, $.830 million in 2009 and $.153 million in 
2008.  The Corporation anticipates increased revenues from these activities in future periods.   As stated, we increased our 
capacity  for  secondary  market  activities  with  several  key  staff  additions.    We  are  also  increasing  our  SBA  and  USDA 
lending  activities  as  these  types  of  government  sponsored  programs  become  more  advantageous  to  borrowers.      Deposit 
related income totaled $.990 million in 2010 compared to $1.023 million in 2009 and $.838 million in 2008.  The current 
regulatory environment may limit the Corporation’s ability to grow these revenue sources. 

Noninterest Expense 

Noninterest  expense  was  $16.598  million  in  2010,  compared  to  $13.802  million  and  $12.558  million  in  2009  and  2008, 
respectively.    In  2010,  the  increase  in  noninterest  expense  totaled  $2.796  million,  or  20.26%.    The  largest  increase  in 
noninterest expense for 2010 occurred in OREO write-downs and gains/losses on the sale of OREO, which increased from 
$.208 million in 2009 to $2.753 million in 2010.  In 2008 the Corporation had net gains of $80,000 on the sale of OREO.  
Management expects that costs associated with carrying nonperforming loans will continue to be above historical norms.  
Salaries and benefits, at $6.918 million, increased by $.335 million, 5.09%, from the 2009 expenses of $6.583 million and 
compared to $6.886 million in 2008.  The other most significant loan and deposit expense increase was in FDIC insurance 
assessment premiums which totaled $.839 million in 2009 and increased to $.957 million in 2010.  FDIC insurance costs 
are also expected to increase in future periods based upon the need to replenish the deposit insurance fund for charges due 
to increased bank failures. 

Management  will  continue  to  review  all  areas  of  noninterest  expense  in  order  to  evaluate  where  opportunities  may  exist 
which could reduce expenses without compromising service to customers.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Federal Income Taxes 

A  deferred  tax  asset  is  recognized  for  temporary  differences  that  will  result  in  deductible  amounts  in  future  years  and 
contain  tax  carryforwards  including  past  net  operating  losses  and  tax  credits.    For  example,  a  temporary  difference  is 
created  between  the  reported  amount  and  the  tax  basis  of  a  liability  for  estimated  expenses  if,  for  tax  purposes,  those 
estimated expenses are not deductible until a future year.  Settlement of that liability will result in tax deductions in future 
years,  and  a  deferred  tax  asset  is  recognized  based  on  the  weight  of  available  evidence.    All  available  evidence,  both 
positive and negative, is considered to determine  whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is 
needed for some portion or all of a deferred tax asset.  Judgment must be used in considering the relative impact of negative 
and positive evidence.  The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence should be commensurate 
with  the  extent  to  which  it  can  be  objectively  verified.    The  more  negative  evidence  that  exists,  (a)  the  more  positive 
evidence is necessary and (b) the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.   A 
valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred 
tax assets will not be realized.   

Current Federal Tax Provision 

The  Corporation  recorded  a  current  period  federal  tax  benefit  of  $3.500  million  in  2010,  compared  to  a  $1.120  million 
provision  in  the  same  period  a  year  earlier.    In  the  first  quarter  of  2010,  management  evaluated  the  deferred  tax  assets 
associated with the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards based upon the Corporation’s foreseen ability to utilize 
the benefits of these carryforwards prior to their expiration.   At that time, the  Corporation had  net deferred tax assets of 
approximately  $13.4  million  and  a  valuation  allowance  of  $8.1  million  against  these  assets.    As  a  part  of  this  analysis, 
management  considered,  among  other  things,  current  asset  levels  and  projected  loan  and  deposit  growth,  current  interest 
rate spreads and projected net interest income levels, and noninterest income and expense, along with management’s ability 
to control expenses and the potential for increasing contributions of noninterest income.  Management also considered the 
impact  of  nonperforming  assets  and  future  period  charge-off  activity  relative  to  projected  provisions.    Based  upon  the 
analysis of projected taxable income and the probability of achieving these projected taxable income levels, the Corporation 
reduced  the  valuation  allowance  on  its  deferred  tax  assets  by  $3.500  million.    Among  the  criteria  that  management 
considered in evaluating the deferred tax asset was taxable income for the three most recent taxable years ending December 
31, 2009 which totaled $8.2 million. This taxable income allowed the Corporation to utilize NOL carryforwards.  At 2010 
year end, management,  in recognition of  the net operating loss before taxes of $3.918 million and based upon additional 
analysis of deferred tax balances and future taxable income projections, made the determination to increase the valuation 
allowance by approximately $1.364 million, resulting in a net decrease in the valuation allowance of $2.136 million for the 
year. 

Deferred Tax Benefit – Historical Commentary 

The Corporation recognized a federal deferred tax benefit of $7.500 million in the third quarter of 2007.  The recognition of 
this deferred tax benefit relates to the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the probability of utilizing  the 
NOL  and  tax  credit  carryforwards  of  the  Corporation.    The  Corporation,  based  upon  current  profitability  trends  largely 
supported by expansion of the net interest margin and controlled expenses, determined that a portion, $7.500 million, of the 
NOL  carryforward  was  probable.    The  $7.500  million  recognition  was  based  upon  assumptions  of  a  sustained  level  of 
taxable income within the NOL carryforward period and took into account Section 382, annual limitations.  This tax benefit 
was recorded by reducing the valuation allowance that was recorded against the deferred tax assets of the Corporation.  In 
2006, the Corporation recognized a portion of this benefit, $.500 million, based upon the then current probabilities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The table below details the Corporation’s deferred tax assets and liabilities (dollars in thousands): 

As shown in the table above, the NOL and tax credit carryforwards comprise the majority of the deferred tax asset, which is 
reduced by the $6.010 million valuation adjustment. 

As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation had an NOL carryforward of approximately $27.5 million along with various 
credit carryforwards of $2.1 million.  This NOL and credit carryforward benefit is dependent upon the future profitability of 
the  Corporation.    A  portion  of  the  NOL,  approximately  $17.0  million,  and  all  of  the  tax  credit  carryforwards  are  also 
subject to the use limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code since they originated prior to the December 2004 
recapitalization of the Corporation.  These carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in the year 2023.  The annual 
limitation is $1.4 million for the NOL carryforwards and the equivalent value of tax credits, which is approximately $.477 
million.   

The  Corporation  will  continue  to  evaluate  the  utilization  of  the  NOL  and  credit  carryforwards  in  subsequent  periods  to 
determine if any further adjustment to the valuation allowance is necessary.  The determination criteria for recognition of 
deferred tax benefits will include the assumption of future period taxable income based upon the projected profitability of 
the Corporation.   

Management  believes  that  the  Corporation  will  ultimately  utilize  all  of  the  NOL  carryforwards  and  a  portion  of  the  tax 
credit  carryforwards.    The  valuation  allowance,  which  stands  at  $6.0  million  as  of  December  31,  2010  is  a  conservative 
measurement of the uncertainty related to the current economy and level of profitability the Corporation will attain in the

FINANCIAL POSITION 

Securities 
The securities portfolio is an important component of the Corporation’s asset composition to provide diversity in its asset 
base and provide liquidity.  Securities decreased $12.653 million in 2010, from $46.513 million at December 31, 2009 to 
$33.860 million at December 31, 2010.  This decrease in 2010 was largely attributable to paydowns on mortgage backed 
securities.  The Corporation also sold $5 million of investments early in 2010 to reduce excess liquidity.  In 2009, a net gain 
of  $1.471  million  was  recorded  in  connection  with  the  sale  of  approximately  $45  million  of  investments.    These 
investments  were  purchased  early  in  2009  as  a  short-term  ―leveraging‖  program  in  the  deployment  of  a  portion  of  the 
proceeds  from  the  issuance  of  preferred  stock  in  conjunction  with  the  Corporation’s  participation  in  TARP.    This 
―leveraging‖ program to increase investment securities was intended to offset the relatively high cost of the preferred stock. 
Management, along with the concurrence of the Board of Directors, deleveraged this position late in 2009.    

The carrying value of the Corporation’s securities is as follows at December 31 (dollars in thousands): 

The  Corporation’s  policy  is  to  purchase  securities  of  high  credit  quality,  consistent  with  its  asset/liability  management 
strategies.    The  majority  of  the  bank’s  current  investments,  $32.683  million  or  97%,  are  highly  marketable  investments 
guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  government.    The  Corporation  classifies  all  securities  as  available  for  sale,  in  order  to  maintain 
adequate liquidity and to maximize its ability to react to changing market conditions.  At December 31, 2010, investment 
securities with an estimated fair market value of $14.462 million were pledged.

Loans 
The Bank is a full service lender and offers a variety of loan products in all of its markets.  The majority of its loans are 
commercial, which represents approximately 78% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2010. 

The  Corporation  continued  to  experience  strong  loan  demand  in  2010  with  approximately  $114  million  of  new  loan 
production, including $37  million of  mortgage loans  sold in the secondary  market.   At  2010 year-end, the  Corporation’s 
loans  stood  at  $383.086  million,  a  slight  decrease  from  the  2009  year-end  balances  of  $384.310  million.    The  total 
outstanding  loans  declined  by  $1.2  million  after  reductions  for  loans  sales,  (both  SBA/USDA  and  secondary  market) 
amortization and payoffs, some associated with the elimination of problem assets.  In 2010, the secondary mortgage loans 
that  were  produced  and  sold  totaled  $36.7  million  while  the  SBA/USDA  loan  sales  amounted  to  $12.6  million.    The 
production  of  loans  was  distributed  among  the  regions,  with  the  Upper  Peninsula  at  $81  million,  $22  million  in  the 
Northern  Lower  Peninsula  and  $11  million  in  Southeast  Michigan  where  the  market  has  been  hit  the  hardest  by  the 
recession. 

Management believes a properly positioned loan portfolio provides the most attractive earning asset yield available to the 
Corporation and, with changes to the loan approval  process and exception reporting, management can effectively manage 
the risk in the loan portfolio.  Management intends to continue loan growth within its markets for mortgage, consumer, and 
commercial loan products while concentrating on loan quality, industry concentration issues, and competitive pricing.  The 
Corporation  is  highly  competitive  in  structuring  loans  to  meet  borrowing  needs  and  satisfy  strong  underwriting 
requirements.  

Following is a table that illustrates the balance changes in the loan portfolio from 2008 through 2010 year end (dollars in 
thousands): 

Our commercial real estate loan portfolio predominantly relates to owner occupied real estate, and our loans are generally 
secured by a first mortgage lien.  Commercial real estate market conditions continued to be under stress in 2010, and we 
expect this trend to continue.  These conditions  may negatively affect  our commercial real estate loan portfolio in future 
periods.  We make commercial loans for many purposes, including: working capital lines, which are generally renewable 
annually and supported by business assets, personal guarantees and additional collateral.  Commercial business lending is 
generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk than traditional consumer bank lending.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Following is a table showing the composition of loans by significant industry types in the commercial loan portfolio as of 
December 31 (dollars in thousands): 

Management  recognizes  the  additional  risk  presented  by  the  concentration  in  certain  segments  of  the  portfolio.    On  a 
historical  basis,  the  Corporation’s  highest  concentration  of  credit  risk  was  the  hospitality  and  tourism  industry.  
Management  does  not  consider  the  current  loan  concentrations  in  hospitality  and  tourism  to  be  problematic,  and  has  no 
intention  of  further  reducing  loans  to  this  industry  segment.    Management  does  not  believe  that  its  current  portfolio 
composition  has  increased  exposure  related  to  any  specific  industry  concentration  as  of  2010  year-end.    The  current 
concentration  of  real  estate  related  loans  represents  a  broad  customer  base  composed  of  a  high  percentage  of  owner-
occupied developments. 

Our residential real estate portfolio predominantly includes one-to-four family adjustable rate mortgages that have repricing 
terms  generally  from  one  to  three  years,  construction  loans  to  individuals  and  bridge  financing  loans  for  qualifying 
customers.    As  of  December  31,  2010,  our  residential  loan  portfolio  totaled  $80.756  million,  or  21.08%  of  our  total 
outstanding loans. 

The  Corporation  has  also  extended  credit  to  governmental  units,  including  Native  American  organizations.    Tax-exempt 
loans and leases decreased from $3.184 million at the end of 2009 to $2.471 million at 2010 year-end.  The Corporation has 
elected  to  reduce  its  tax-exempt  portfolio,  since  it  provides  no  current  tax  benefit,  due  to  tax  net  operating  loss 
carryforwards. 

Due to the seasonal nature of many of the Corporation’s commercial loan customers, loan payment terms provide flexibility 
by structuring payments to coincide with the customer’s business cycle.  The lending staff evaluates the collectability of the 
past due  loans based on documented collateral values and payment history.  The Corporation discontinues the accrual of 
interest on loans when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet the 
payments as they become due.  Upon such discontinuance, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.  Loans are returned to 
accrual  status  when  all  principal  and  interest  amounts  contractually  due  are  brought  current  and  future  payments  are 
reasonably assured.

Credit Quality 

The table below shows balances of nonperforming assets for the three years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands): 

Management continues to address market issues impacting its loan customer base.  In conjunction with the Corporation’s 
senior lending staff and the bank regulatory examinations, management reviews the Corporation’s loans, related collateral 
evaluations, and the overall lending process.  The Corporation also utilizes a loan review consultant to perform a review of 
the  loan  portfolio.    The  opinion  of  this  consultant  upon  completion  of  the  2010  independent  review  provided  findings 
similar  to  management  on  the  overall  adequacy  of  the  reserve.    The  Corporation  will  again  utilize  a  consultant  for  loan 
review in 2011. 

The following table details the impact of nonperforming loans on interest income for the three years ended December 31 
(dollars in thousands): 

Allowance for Loan Losses 

Management  analyzes  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  on  a  quarterly  basis  to  determine  whether  the  losses  inherent  in  the 
portfolio  are  properly  reserved  for.  Net  charge-offs  in  2010  amounted  to  $5.112  million,  or  1.33%  of  average  loans 
outstanding, compared to $2.752 million, or .73% of loans outstanding in 2009.  In 2010, $2.342 million of the charge-offs 
resulted from three credit relationships in Southeast Michigan.  The current reserve balance is representative of the relevant 
risk  inherent  within  the  Corporation’s  loan  portfolio.    Additions  or  reductions  to  the  reserve  in  future  periods  will  be 
dependent upon a combination of future loan growth, nonperforming loan balances and charge-off activity.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

A three year history of the Corporation’s credit quality is displayed in the following table (dollars in thousands): 

The computation of the required allowance for loan losses as of any point in time is one of the critical accounting estimates 
made  by  management  in  the  financial  statements.    As  such,  factors  used  to  establish  the  allowance  could  change 
significantly from the assumptions made and impact future earnings positively or negatively.  The future of the national and 
local economies and the resulting impact on borrowers’ ability to repay their loans and the value of collateral are examples 
of areas where assumptions must be made for individual loans, as well as the overall portfolio. 

The Corporation’s computation of the allowance for loan losses follows the Interagency Policy Statement on Allowance for 
Loan  and  Lease  Losses  Methodologies  and  Documentation  for  Banks  and  Savings  Associations  issued  by  the  Federal 
Financial  Institutions  Examination  Council  (FFIEC)  in  July  2001.    The  computation  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses 
considers prevailing local and national economic conditions as well as past and present underwriting practices.   

At  the  end  of  2010,  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  represented  1.73%  of  total  loans.    In  management’s  opinion,  the 
allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable losses related to specifically identified loans, as well as probable 
losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio. 

As part of the process of resolving problem credits, the Corporation may acquire ownership of real estate collateral which 
secured such credits.  The Corporation carries this collateral in other real estate on the balance sheet.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following table represents the activity in other real estate (dollars in thousands): 

During 2010, the Corporation received real estate in lieu of loan payments of $5.373 million.  In determining the carrying 
value of other real estate, the Corporation generally starts with a third party appraisal of the underlying collateral and then 
deducts estimated selling costs to arrive at a net asset value.  After the initial receipt, management periodically re-evaluates 
the recorded balance and records any additional reductions in the fair value as a write-down of other real estate. 

Deposits 
Total deposits at December 31, 2010 were $386.779 million, a decrease of $34.610 million, or 8.21% from December 31, 
2009 deposits of $421.389 million.  The table below shows the deposit mix for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): 

The decrease in deposits, as illustrated above, is composed of a decrease in noncore deposits of $115.396 million, while 
core deposits increased by $80.786 million.   

Historically the Corporation’s loan growth outpaced core deposit growth, which resulted in more reliance on brokered 
deposits as a source of funding.  Management has increased its efforts to grow core deposits in recent years by introducing 
several new deposit products and implementing a bank-wide deposit incentive program.  In 2010, the Corporation grew 
core deposits by $81 million with most of this growth occurring in lower cost transactional deposits. 

During 2009, the increase in wholesale brokered deposits were in part utilized to enhance balance sheet liquidity and to 
fund the acquisition of investments purchased in the TARP leveraging program discussed earlier in this management 
discussion.  At the end of 2009, the Corporation initiated the sale of approximately $39 million of its investment portfolio

to deleverage the balance sheet.  Proceeds from the sale of these investments were used to pay off matured brokered 
deposits.  In August 2009, the Bank sold two branch offices with core deposits of approximately $29 million.  This strategic 
decision was in conjunction the bank’s overall strategy to tighten its existing geographical footprint and concentrate its 
resources in the commercial hubs of the Upper Peninsula. 

Management continues to monitor existing deposit products in order to stay competitive, both as to terms and pricing.  It is 
the intent of management to be aggressive in its markets to grow core deposits with an emphasis placed on transactional 
accounts. 

Borrowings 

The Corporation also utilizes FHLB borrowings as a source of funding.  At 2010 year end, this source of funding totaled 
$35  million,  of  which  $20  million  matured  early  in  2011  and  was  refinanced  into  longer  term  FHLB  borrowings.  
Subsequent to the refinancing, the $25 million of FHLB borrowings had a weighted average maturity of 3.5 years.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

Interest Rate Risk 

In  general,  the  Corporation  attempts  to  manage  interest  rate  risk  by  investing  in  a  variety  of  assets  which  afford  it  an 
opportunity to reprice assets and increase interest income at a rate equal to or greater than the interest expense associated 
with repricing liabilities.   

Interest  rate  risk  is  the  exposure  of  the  Corporation  to  adverse  movements  in  interest  rates.    The  Corporation  derives  its 
income  primarily  from  the  excess  of  interest  collected  on  its  interest-earning  assets  over  the  interest  paid  on  its  interest-
bearing  obligations.    The  rates  of  interest  the  Corporation  earns  on  its  assets  and  owes  on  its  obligations  generally  are 
established contractually for a period of time.  Since market interest rates change over time, the Corporation is exposed to 
lower  profitability  if  it  cannot  adapt  to  interest  rate  changes.    Accepting  interest  rate  risk  can  be  an  important  source  of 
profitability  and  shareholder  value;  however,  excess  levels  of  interest  rate  risk  could  pose  a  significant  threat  to  the 
Corporation’s earnings and capital base.  Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risk at prudent 
levels is essential to the Corporation’s safety and soundness.  

Loans are the most significant earning asset.  Management offers commercial and real estate loans priced at interest rates 
which fluctuate with various indices, such as the prime rate or rates paid on various government issued securities.  When 
loans are made with longer-term fixed rates, the Corporation attempts to match these balances with sources of funding with 
similar maturities in order to mitigate interest rate risk.  In addition, the Corporation prices loans so it has an opportunity to 
reprice the loan within 12 to 36 months.   

At December 31, 2010 the Bank had $33.860 million of securities, with a weighted average maturity of 15.8 months.  The 
investment  portfolio  is  intended  to  provide  a  source  of  liquidity  to  the  Corporation  with  limited  interest  rate  risk.  The 
Corporation  may  also  elect  to  sell  monies  as  investments  in  federal  funds  sold  to  correspondent  banks,  and  has  other 
interest bearing deposits with correspondent banks.  These funds are generally repriced on a daily basis. 

The Corporation offers deposit products with a variety of terms ranging from deposits whose interest rates can change on a 
weekly  basis  to  certificates  of  deposit  with  repricing  terms  of  up  to  five  years.    Longer-term  deposits  generally  include 
penalty provisions for early withdrawal. 

Beyond general efforts to shorten the loan pricing periods and extend deposit maturities, management can manage interest 
rate  risk  by  the  maturity  periods  of  securities  purchased,  selling  securities  available  for  sale,  and  borrowing  funds  with 
targeted maturity periods, among other strategies.  Also, the rate of interest rate changes can impact the actions taken, since 
the speed of change affects borrowers and depositors differently. 

Exposure to interest rate  risk  is reviewed on a regular basis.  Interest rate  risk is the  potential of economic losses due to 
future interest rate changes.  These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of 
current  fair  market  values.  The  objective  is  to  measure  the  effect  of  interest  rate  changes  on  net  interest  income  and  to 
structure the composition of the balance sheet to minimize interest rate risk and, at the same time, maximize income.  

Management  realizes  certain  risks  are  inherent  and  that  the  goal  is  to  identify  and  minimize  the  risks.    Tools  used  by 
management  include  maturity  and  repricing  analysis  and  interest  rate  sensitivity  analysis.    The  Bank  has  monthly  asset/ 
liability  (―ALCO‖)  meetings,  whose  membership  includes  senior  management,  board  representation  and  third  party 
investment consultants.  During these monthly meetings, we review the current ALCO position and strategize about future 
opportunities on risks relative to pricing and positioning of assets and liabilities. 

The difference between repricing assets and liabilities for a specific period is referred to as the gap.  An excess of repricable 
assets  over  liabilities  is  referred  to  as  a  positive  gap.    An  excess  of  repricable  liabilities  over  assets  is  referred  to  as  a 
negative  gap.    The  cumulative  gap  is  the  summation  of  the  gap  for  all  periods  to  the  end  of  the  period  for  which  the 
cumulative gap is being measured.   

Assets  and  liabilities  scheduled  to  reprice  are  reported  in  the  following  timeframes.    Those  instruments  with  a  variable 
interest  rate  tied  to  an  index  and  considered  immediately  repricable  are  reported  in  the  1  to  90  day  timeframe.    The 
estimates of principal amortization and prepayments are assigned to the following time frames.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following is the Corporation’s repricing opportunities at December 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands): 

The above analysis indicates that at December 31, 2010, the Corporation had a cumulative liability sensitivity gap position 
of  $1.258  million  within  the  one-year  timeframe.    The  Corporation’s  cumulative  liability  sensitive  gap  suggests  that  if 
market interest rates were to increase in the next twelve months, the Corporation has the potential to earn  less net interest 
income since more liabilities would reprice at higher rates than assets.  Conversely, if market interest rates decrease in the 
next twelve months, the above gap position suggests the Corporation’s net interest income would increase.  A limitation of 
the traditional gap analysis is that it does not consider the timing or magnitude of non-contractual repricing or unexpected 
prepayments.  In addition, the gap analysis treats savings, NOW and money market accounts as repricing within 90 days, 
while experience suggests that these categories of deposits are actually comparatively resistant to rate sensitivity. 

At December 31, 2010, the Corporation had $276.547 million of variable rate loans that reprice primarily  with the prime 
rate index.  Approximately $160 million of these variable rate loans have interest rate floors.  This means that the prime rate 
will have to increase above the floor rate before these loans will reprice.  At year end, $66 million of these floor-rate loans 
would  reprice  with  a  100  basis  point  prime  rate  increase,  with  $94  million  repricing  with  an  additional  100  basis  point 
prime rate increase. 

At  December  31,  2009,  the  Corporation  had  a  cumulative  liability  sensitivity  gap  position  of  $17.977  million  within  the 
one-year time frame.   

The borrowings in the  gap analysis include $20 million of FHLB advances that were refinanced early in 2011 into fixed 
rate advances.  Subsequent to this refinancing, the $35 million total of FHLB borrowings then carried a weighted average 
maturity of 3.5 years. 

The  Corporation’s  primary  market  risk  exposure  is  interest  rate  risk  and,  to  a  lesser  extent,  liquidity  risk  and  foreign 
exchange risk.  The Corporation has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes.   The Corporation has 
limited  agricultural-related  loan  assets,  and  therefore,  has  minimal  significant  exposure  to  changes  in  commodity  prices.  
Any impact that changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices would have on interest rates are assumed to be 
insignificant. 

Evaluating  the  exposure  to  changes  in  interest  rates  includes  assessing  both  the  adequacy  of  the  process  used  to  control 
interest rate risk and the quantitative level of exposure.  The Corporation’s interest rate risk management process seeks to 
ensure  that  appropriate  policies,  procedures,  management  information  systems,  and  internal  controls  are  in  place  to

maintain interest rate risk at prudent levels with consistency and continuity.  In evaluating the quantitative level of interest 
rate  risk,  the  Corporation  assesses  the  existing  and  potential  future  effects  of  changes  in  interest  rates  on  its  financial 
condition,  including  capital  adequacy,  earnings,  liquidity,  and  asset  quality.    In  addition  to  changes  in  interest  rates,  the 
level  of  future  net  interest  income  is  also  dependent  on  a  number  of  variables,  including:  the  growth,  composition  and 
levels  of  loans,  deposits,  and  other  earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  obligations,  and  economic  and  competitive 
conditions; potential changes in lending, investing, and deposit strategies; customer preferences; and other factors. 

The  table  below  measures  current  maturity  levels  of  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  obligations,  along  with 
average  stated rates and estimated  fair  values at December 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands).  Nonaccrual  loans of $5.921 
million are included in the table at an average interest rate of 0.00% and a maturity greater than five years. 

Foreign Exchange Risk 
In addition to managing interest rate risk, management also actively manages risk associated with foreign exchange.  The 
Corporation provides foreign exchange services, makes loans to, and accepts deposits from, Canadian customers primarily 
at its banking office in Sault Ste. Marie.  To protect against foreign exchange risk, the Corporation monitors the volume of 
Canadian deposits it takes in and then invests these Canadian funds in Canadian commercial loans and securities.  As of 
December 31, 2010, the Corporation had excess Canadian liabilities of .106 million, which equated to approximately  the 
same valuation in U.S. dollars.  Management believes the exposure to short-term foreign exchange risk is minimal and at an 
acceptable level for the  Corporation.  Management intends to limit the Corporation’s foreign exchange risk by acquiring

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Off-Balance-Sheet Risk 

Derivative  financial  instruments  include  futures,  forwards,  interest  rate  swaps,  option  contracts  and  other  financial 
instruments with similar characteristics.  The Corporation currently does not enter into futures, forwards, swaps or options.  
However, the Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to 
meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby 
letters of credit and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized 
in the consolidated balance sheets.  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is 
no  violation  of  any  condition  established  in  the  contract.    Commitments  generally  have  fixed  expiration  dates  and  may 
require  collateral  from  the  borrower  if  deemed  necessary  by  the  Corporation.    Standby  letters  of  credit  are  conditional 
commitments  issued  by  the  Corporation  to  guarantee  the  performance  of  a  customer  to  a  third  party  up  to  a  stipulated 
amount and with specified terms and conditions. 

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are not recorded as an asset or liability by the Corporation until 
the instrument is exercised.  See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. 

LIQUIDITY 

Liquidity  is  defined  as  the  ability  to  generate  cash  at  a  reasonable  cost  to  fulfill  lending  commitments  and  support  asset 
growth,  while satisfying the  withdrawal demands of customers and  make payments on  existing borrowing commitments.  
The Bank’s principal sources of liquidity are core deposits and loan and investment payments and prepayments.  Providing 
a secondary source of liquidity is the available for sale investment portfolio.  As a final source of liquidity, the Bank can 
exercise existing credit arrangements. 

During  2010,  the  Corporation  decreased  cash  and  cash  equivalents  by  $10.714  million.    As  shown  on  the  Corporation’s 
consolidated statement of cash flows, liquidity was primarily impacted by cash provided by  operating activities, resulting 
primarily from a reduction in other assets due to a settlement from the prior year sale of investment securities recorded as a 
receivable at 2009 year end.  The net change in investing activities included a net increase in loans of $9.355 million and a 
―net‖  decrease  in  securities  available  for  sale  of  $11.788  million.    The  net  increases  in  assets  were  offset  by  a  similar 
decrease  in  deposit  liabilities  of  $34.610  million.    This  decrease  in  deposits  was  composed  of  a  decrease  in  non-core 
deposits of $115.386 million  combined  with an  increase in bank deposits of $80.776 million.  The  management of bank 
liquidity  for  funding  of  loans  and  deposit  maturities  and  withdrawals  includes  monitoring  projected  loan  fundings  and 
scheduled prepayments and deposit maturities within a 30 day period, a 30 to 90 day period and from 90 days until the end 
of the year.  This funding forecast model is completed weekly. 

The  Bank’s  investment  portfolio,  most  of  which  are  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  government,  provide  added  liquidity  during 
periods  of  market  turmoil  and  overall  liquidity  concerns  in  the  financial  markets.    As  of  December  31,  2010,  $19.398 
million of the Bank’s investment portfolio was unpledged, which makes them readily available for sale to address any short 
term liquidity needs. 

It is anticipated that during 2011, the Corporation will fund anticipated loan production with a combination of core-deposit 
growth and noncore funding, primarily brokered CDs. 

The Corporation’s primary source of liquidity on a  stand-alone basis is dividends from the Bank.  The Bank is currently 
prohibited from paying dividends because of a deficit in retained earnings.  The Bank, in order to pay dividends in future 
periods,  will  need  regulatory  approval.    The  Corporation  is  currently  exploring  alternative  opportunities  for  longer  term 
sources of liquidity and permanent equity to support projected asset growth. 

Liquidity  is  managed  by  the  Corporation  through  its  Asset  and  Liability  Committee  (―ALCO‖).    The  ALCO  Committee 
meets  monthly  to  discuss  asset  and  liability  management  in  order  to  address  liquidity  and  funding  needs  to  provide  a 
process to seek the best alternatives for investments of assets, funding costs, and risk management.  The liquidity position 
of the Bank is managed daily, thus enabling the Bank to adapt its position according to market fluctuations.  Core deposits 
are important in maintaining a strong liquidity position as they represent a stable and relatively low cost source of funds.  
The  Bank’s  liquidity  is  best  illustrated  by  the  mix  in  the  Bank’s  core  and  non-core  funding  dependency  ratio,  which 
explains the degree of reliance on non-core liabilities to fund long-term assets.  Core deposits are herein defined as demand 
deposits, NOW (negotiable order withdrawals), money markets, savings and certificates of deposit under $100,000. Non-
core funding consists of certificates of deposit greater than $100,000, brokered deposits, and FHLB and other borrowings.  
At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s  core  deposits in relation to total  funding  were 68.73% compared to  45.86% in 2009.  
These ratios indicated at December 31, 2010, that the Bank has decreased its reliance on non-core deposits and borrowings 
to  fund  the  Bank’s  long-term  assets,  namely  loans  and  investments.    The  Bank  believes  that  by  maintaining  adequate 
volumes  of  short-term  investments  and  implementing  competitive  pricing  strategies  on  deposits,  it  can  ensure  adequate 

72 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

liquidity to support future growth.  The Bank also has correspondent lines of credit available to meet unanticipated short-
term liquidity  needs.   As of  December 31, 2010, the  Bank had $15.875 million of unsecured lines available  and another 
$2.500 million available if secured.   Management believes that its liquidity position remains strong to meet both present 
and  future  financial  obligations  and  commitments,  events  or  uncertainties  that  have  resulted  or  are  reasonably  likely  to 
result in material changes with respect to the Bank’s liquidity. 

From a long-term perspective, the Corporation’s liquidity plan for 2011 includes strategies to increase core deposits in the 
Corporation’s local markets and will continue to augment local deposit growth efforts with wholesale CD funding, to the 
extent necessary. 

The Corporation is considering whether or not to participate in the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund program 
(―SBLF‖).  The Corporation has applied for funding under the SBLF, but has not yet received approval, nor has the 
Corporation determined if it will participate if approved.  This SBLF program would allow the Corporation to pay off the 
TARP preferred and also requires an injection of capital into the Bank which is dependent upon the amount of the total 
SBLF funding less the $11 million of TARP preferred. 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS 

As  disclosed  in  the  Notes  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  the  Corporation  has  certain  obligations  and 
commitments to make future payments under contracts.  At December 31, 2010, the aggregate contractual obligations and 
commitments are (dollars in thousands): 

(1)The Corporation issued preferred stock in April of  2009 as part of its participation in TARP.  The initial term of this preferred stock is five 
years  with  an  interest  rate  of  5%,  which  increases  to  9%  after  the  initial  term.    Although  there  is  no  contractual  obligation  to  do  so,  the 
Corporation intends to repay this obligation within the initial term.

CAPITAL AND REGULATORY 

As a bank holding company, the Corporation is required to maintain certain levels of capital under government regulation.  
There are several measurements of regulatory capital, and the Corporation is required to meet minimum requirements under 
each  measurement.    The  federal  banking  regulators  have  also  established  capital  classifications  beyond  the  minimum 
requirements in order to risk-rate deposit insurance premiums and to provide trigger points for prompt corrective action in 
the event an institution becomes financially troubled.  As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation and the Bank were well 
capitalized.   The Corporation is currently exploring its alternatives for the possible issuance of equity or debt in order to 
provide a broader base to support future asset growth.  During 2010, total capitalization decreased by $1.417 million.  Other 
changes in total capital occurred from recognition of net income and market value decrease of the Corporation’s investment 
securities.  During 2010, risk based capital decreased by $5.455 million, while Tier 1 Capital decreased by $5.164 million. 

The decrease in capital was also impacted by the disallowed portion of the Corporation’s deferred tax asset.  The portion of 
the deferred tax asset which is allowed to be included in regulatory capital is only that portion that can be utilized within the 
next 12-month period.  At December 31, 2010, the Corporation did not include any of the deferred tax asset in its Tier 1 or 
Total Risk Based Capital. 

The following table details sources of capital for the three years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Regulatory capital is not the same as shareholders’ equity reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial 
statements.  Certain assets cannot be considered assets for regulatory purposes.  The Corporation’s acquisition intangibles 
and a portion of the deferred tax asset are examples of such assets, which was discussed earlier. 
Presented  below  is  a  summary  of  the  Corporation’s  and  Bank’s  capital  position  in  comparison  to  generally  applicable 
regulatory requirements: 

The Corporation intends to maintain the Bank’s Tier I Capital at 8% and total capital to risk-weighted assets at a minimum 
of 10.00% in order to qualify for reduced FDIC deposit based insurance. 

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES 

The accompanying financial  statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 
which require the measurement of financial position and results of operations in historical dollars without considering the 
change in the relative purchasing power of  money over time  due  to inflation.  The impact of inflation  is reflected in the 
increased cost of the Corporation’s operations.  Nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Corporation are financial, unlike 
industrial or commercial companies.  As a result, the Corporation’s performance is directly impacted by changes in interest 
rates,  which  are  indirectly  influenced  by  inflationary  expectations.    The  Corporation’s  ability  to  match  the  interest 
sensitivity of its financial assets to the interest sensitivity of its financial liabilities tends to minimize the effect  of changes 
in interest rates on the Corporation’s performance.  Changes in interest rates do not necessarily move to the same extent as 
changes in the prices of goods and services.
