To Our Shareholders 

March 30, 2012 

Dear Shareholders: 

This letter will provide you with an overview of the 2011 performance of Mackinac Financial Corporation (―MFNC‖), as to 
the progress we have made in reducing nonperforming assets and in the reduction of balance sheet risk, along with other 
relative  accomplishments  we’ve  had  in  various  business  segments  of  the  Corporation  to  build  franchise  value.  We  view 
2011  as  a  positive  step  forward  as  we  are  seeing  signs  of  economic  resurgence  in  all  our  geographic  markets  with  new 
economic activity and borrower financial conditions improving.   We believe this will provide opportunities to expand  our 
franchise through both organic growth and accretive acquisition opportunities for continued earnings momentum that will 
lead to increased shareholder value.  

The  various  charts  and  graphs  following  this  letter  track  the  performance  of  the  company  through  the  last  five  years  in 
terms of key shareholder metrics and operating performance levels.   In this period of highly challenging economic times 
for banks across the country and especially in the State of Michigan, the Corporation has increased its common stock book 
value from $7.75 per share at December 31, 2005 to $12.97 at 2011 year end, an increase of $5.22 per share, or 67.35 %.  
During this five year period, we have also significantly increased total assets, loans, and core deposits which provides  the 
foundation that will lead to future increases in common shareholders’ equity.  At the end of 2011, the Corporation and the 
Bank had strong equity positions.  The  Corporation had a Tier 1 ratio of 10.08% and total risk based capital of 12.87%.  
The Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 9.24% with a total risk based capital ratio of 11.90%.  Common equity of MFNC 
totaled $44.342 million with book value per share at $12.97.   

Listed below are some key performance highlights of 2011. 

Improved Credit Quality 

  We had an overall reduction in nonperforming assets from $16.125 million at the end of 2010 to $11.155 million 
at the end of 2011 as we continued with our timely and aggressive problem asset remediation plans to strengthen 
our balance sheet. Our Texas Ratio at 2011 year-end was reduced to 18.43% and is one of the lowest amongst the 
15 largest public banks headquartered in Michigan.  

Core Deposit Growth 

  We grew core bank deposits by $58.111 million while decreasing wholesale deposits by $40.631 million, therefore 
reducing overall balance sheet risk. We experienced core deposit growth in all of our markets, with $27 million in 
Northern  Lower  Michigan,  $8  million  in  Southeast  Michigan  and  $23  million  in  the  Upper  Peninsula.  A  good 
portion of our 2011 deposit growth occurred in low cost transactional accounts which grew by $24.402 million and 
positively impacted our margin.  

Margin Improvement 

  The margin improvement was largely attributed to the growth in core deposits of $58 million which allowed for 
the  repayment of higher priced wholesale deposits. The  cost of funds declined in 2011 to 1.33% from 1.60% in 
2010. Rates on earning assets increased from 5.10% in 2010 to 5.22% in 2011, due in large part to our disciplined 
loan pricing, which we expect to continue for 2012 to increase the overall margin.

To Our Shareholders 

Strong Loan Production 

  We continued to experience loan demand with approximately $173 million of new loan production split between 
commercial related credits accounting for $104 million, and consumer/mortgage loans totaling $69 million.  Our 
total outstanding loans increased by $18.160 million after reductions for loan sales, (SBA/USDA and secondary 
market) amortization and payoffs.  Most importantly, we continue to be successful in producing well priced high 
quality  loans  in  the  Upper  Peninsula  with  2011  loan  production  of  $95  million.  In  2011,  we  began  to  see 
resurgence in loan opportunities in Northern Lower Michigan with production of $48 million and also Southeast 
Michigan with production of $30 million. 

Growth in Noninterest Income 

 

In 2011 we continued to be a state leader in the origination of sound SBA and USDA guaranteed loans with total 
fee income of $1.500 million in 2011 compared to $.868 million in fee income during 2010. Sold guaranteed loans 
totaled $19 million in 2011 compared to $12.6 million in 2010.  

  We generated higher levels secondary market fee income of $700,000 in 2011 compared to $539,000 in 2010. At 
2011 year-end, our mortgage loan servicing portfolio totaled $50 million which provides future refinancing/cross 
selling  opportunities  and  also  provides  a  stable  source  of  core  deposits  since  many  of  these  clients  maintain 
various transactional accounts. 

  Late  in  2011,  we  established  mBank  Title  Insurance  Agency,  LLC,  in  conjunction  with  the  Michigan  Bankers’ 
Association.  This agency offers title services for both commercial and retail based mortgage transactions in all of 
our markets.  This initiative provides another enhancement to noninterest income and is moving ahead well. 

2011 Earnings Recap 

In 2011, we reported net income of $1.452 million, or $.42 per share. This was an increase of $2.612 million, or $.76 per 
share from the 2010 loss of $1.160 million, $.34 per share. The Corporation’s primary asset, its subsidiary bank, mBank, 
recorded  earnings  of  $2.656  million  which  was  an  improvement  of  $2.573  million  from  2010  earnings  of  $83,000.      In 
recent  years,  we  have  improved  our  core  banking  platform  to  provide  more  product  flexibility  and  services  to  our  client 
base, added top quality revenue drivers in key markets in both commercial and mortgage lending, and consolidated several 
operational areas to provide better efficiencies. These efforts have enhanced the operating foundation of the corporation for 
increased earnings potential to take full advantage of the improving economic environment.  The table below illustrates the 
marked improvement in several key performance areas.

Loan Growth/Production 

As stated previously, we continue to experience strong loan demand as demonstrated with approximately $173 million in 
new loan production during 2011, including $39 million of mortgage loans sold in the secondary market.  The table below 
details the 2011 activity.  

Loan production, including  secondary  market  mortgage loans of $39  million, in our three geographical regions is shown 
below. 

As you will note from the chart, we started in 2011 to see good loan production in all regions from the slowing economy of 
previous years. 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 maintain and improve our margin. 

Government Guaranteed Lending Programs 

In recent years, the Corporation has become a premier SBA/USDA lender throughout the State of Michigan which helps 
differentiate ourselves from our local competition.  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  $1.500  million  in  fees  for  2011,  for  a  total  of  $2.866  million  over  the  last  three  years.    The 
Corporation does not sell all the loan guarantees from every credit, only those where acceptable market rates are paid above 
par that generate an acceptable internal rate of return. We are pleased with our success in this area of lending; first in terms 
to  the  benefit  of  the  Corporation,  but  also  for  the  many  local  businesses  that  through  these  programs  are  provided  the 
capital to grow and help rebuild the economic base of the State. 

Community  Partnership  Lending  and  Manistique  Papers  Inc.  Bankruptcy  /  Michigan  Economic  Development 
Corporation 

mBank, late in 2011, played an instrumental and lead role in staving off the permanent closure of Manistique Papers, Inc., a 
90-year  old  paper  mill  located  in  Manistique,  the  bank’s  headquarters  that  was  being  forced  into  Chapter  7  bankruptcy 
liquidation. The mill employs approximately 150 local workers and is the county’s second largest private employer where 
the bank is based. A closure would have devastated the local economy and hundreds of direct manufacturing and indirect 
ancillary business jobs would have been lost. We worked quickly and diligently with the mill’s prior non-local regional

bank to purchase the senior secured debt at a discounted value of $6.8M to avert the Chapter 7 liquidation, and to keep the 
company  functional in its current Chapter 11 process by also providing additional  working capital through a  new $5.0M 
―debtor in possession‖ loan arrangement. 

With  mBank  as  the  lead,  the  bank  was  supported  in  these  transactions  through  participation  by  the  Michigan  Economic 
Development  Corporation  (―MEDC‖)  and  the  Governor’s  office,  whose  support  enabled  these  transactions  to  be 
consummated. Through these joint actions, the Manistique mill reopened less than six weeks after its closure in mid-August 
and  days  away  from  a  complete  liquidation  in  bankruptcy.  We  are  very  proud  that  we  were  able  to  boldly  provide  the 
financial support and expertise to a vital member of our local community to save hundreds of jobs and to help rehabilitate 
the  paper  mill,  a  long  standing  member  of  our  business  community.  This  is  the  essence  of  real  community  banking; 
providing  local  banking  services  and  financial  expertise  to  foster  economic  development  in  order  to  preserve  and  create 
employment opportunities, keeping our communities vibrant and strong with a good quality of life for all. The company is 
hoping for a successful exit from the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy sale in mid-2012 with a new owner in place providing fresh 
capital  and  operating  leverage  to  enable  the  mill  to  remain  a  vital  business  asset  to  the  economic  base  of  the  local 
community.  mBank hopes to  remain a  partner  with the  new ownership group, and complete the  full rehabilitation of the 
mill.  

Core Deposit Growth 

In 2011 we continued our growth of core deposits, and further reduced 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 $58 million in 2011, or 20.0%. 

Noninterest Expense 

Controlling noninterest expense is a daily initiative in which we believe we have made satisfactory progress with in terms 
of balancing costs to drive more revenue to the Corporation on a cost-benefit basis. In 2011, we reduced our efficiency ratio 
to 69.80% from 72.57%, which is a product of our cost control efforts and growth in noninterest income. The Corporation’s 
overall  non-interest  expense  base  remains  slightly  below  peer  at  2.89%  of  total  assets  and  should  continue  to  move 
downward with the improvements in asset quality noted above. In terms of personnel expense, the Corporation continues to 
operate at below peer levels as it has for several years at 1.43% as a percentage of total assets compared to peer levels of 
1.50%.    We  have  been  successful  in  controlling  most  other  areas  of  noninterest  expense  and  will  continue  to  focus  on 
becoming even more efficient. 

Looking Forward 

In 2012, we will continue with the execution of our core banking plan to further enhance earnings and ensure balance sheet 
risk on both sides is prudently managed and controlled. These basic initiatives include further reduction in nonperforming 
assets,  organic  growth  in  well  priced  loans  and  deposits,  increased  contribution  from  expansion  in  noninterest  income 
sources, along with diligent expense control. In 2012, we look to build on the momentum from the successes in 2011 and 
continue to pivot to a more offensive strategy while still maintaining strong risk management systems to keep pace with the 
changing risk profile of the company, in order to accelerate growth in shareholder value.

To Our Shareholders 

With the improving economic environment, we are currently exploring various options to repay our $11.0 million of TARP 
preferred  stock  and  the  associated  common  stock  warrants.  When  the  decision  to  participate  in  the  TARP  program  was 
initially made in late 2008, industry professionals viewed the program as an important factor in  augmenting capital levels 
given  the  highly  troubled  economic  uncertainty  the  industry  and  country  as  a  whole  was  entering  into.   Over  this  time 
period, remaining bank participants that still carry TARP such as ours, continue to trade at a much deeper discount to book 
value than those that have exited TARP. 

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 graciously thank you for your continued support as a shareholder, and many who are clients as well, we thank you for 
your steadfast trust in being a customer of the corporation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

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, 2011 and 2010 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, 2011.  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.

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 1.7%, 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 mortgage servicing rights. 

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 as well as when required by regulatory provisions.  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.   

Mortgage Servicing Rights 

Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial 
assets.  Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, 
and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.  Servicing assets are 
evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of the rights compared to amortized cost.  Impairment is  determined by 
using  prices  for  similar  assets  with  similar  characteristics,  such  as  interest  rates  and  terms.    Fair  value  is  determined  by 
using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based on discounted cash flows using market-
based assumptions.  Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual stratum, to the extent that 
fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the stratum. 

Allowance for Loan Losses 

The  allowance  for  loan  losses  includes  specific  allowances  related  to  commercial  loans  which  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 also  has 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 probable 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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

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.  No new options may be issued 
under the plans. 

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  had minimal dilutive effect, 
$.01 per share, on earnings for the year ended December 31, 2011, and no dilutive effect on earnings for the years ended 
December 31, 2010 and 2009.

MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

The following shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 
2010 (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. 

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 (benefit) 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 June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 ―Presentation of Comprehensive Income.‖  This standard requires an 
entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other 
comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but continuous 
statements.  This standard eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the 
statement of equity.  This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods with those years beginning after 
December 15, 2011.  The implementation of this standard will only change the presentation of comprehensive income; it 
will not have an impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.  In December 2011, the FASB 
issued ASU No. 2011-12.  This standard defers the requirement to present reclassification adjustments for each component 
of other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective 
Control for Repurchase Agreements. The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements 
(―repos‖) and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before 
their maturity. The amendments to the Codification in this ASU are intended to improve the accounting for these 
transactions by removing them from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the 
ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets. The guidance in the ASU is effective for the first interim or annual

period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The provisions of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the 
Corporation’s consolidated financial condition, results of operation or liquidity. 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair 
Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU represents the converged guidance 
of the FASB and the IASB (the Boards) on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Boards and their staffs, 
reflected in ASU No. 2011-04, have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing 
information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term ―fair value.‖ The Boards have 
concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and 
disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments to the Codification 
in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual 
periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The impact of adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the 
Corporation’s consolidated financial condition, results of operation or liquidity. 

Reclassifications 

Certain  amounts  in  the  2010  and  2009  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the  2011 
presentation. 

NOTE 2 – RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  in  the  amount  of  $3.748  million  were  restricted  on  December  31,  2011  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.

million (81.84%), respectively, of the securities portfolio. At December 31, 2011, the entire mortgage backed securities 
portfolio consisted of securities issued and guaranteed by either the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) or the 
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC); United States government-sponsored agencies.  Other asset backed 
securities are collateralized with government guaranteed student loans. 

Following is information pertaining to securities with gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2011 and 2010 aggregated 
by investment category and length of time these individual securities have been in a loss position (dollars in thousands): 

There  were  three  securities  in  an  unrealized  loss  position  in  2011  and  two  in  2010.    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 
losses for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands): 

The carrying value and estimated fair value of securities available for sale at December 31, 2011, 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 9 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 2011, net charge off activity was $3.662 million, or .94% of average loans outstanding compared to net charge-offs of 
$5.112 million, or 1.33% of  average loans, in  the  same period in 2010 and $2.752 million, or .73% of average loans, in 
2009.    During  2011,  a  provision  of  $2.300  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.   

A breakdown of the allowance for loan losses and recorded balances in loans at December 31, 2011 is as follows (dollars in

NOTE 4 – LOANS (CONTINUED) 

A breakdown of the allowance for loan losses, the activity for the period, and recorded balances in loans for the year ended 
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.    In  2011  and  2010,  commercial 
construction loans of $3.694 million and $3.566 million, respectively, did not receive a specific risk rating.  These amounts 
represent loans made for land development and unimproved land purchases.

NOTE 4 – LOANS (CONTINUED) 

Below is a breakdown of loans by risk category as of December 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands) 

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 $.118 million 
and $.363 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the amounts were $.141 
million and $.583 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.

NOTE 4 – LOANS (CONTINUED) 

Troubled Debt Restructuring 

Troubled  debt  restructurings  (―TDR‖)  are  determined  on  a  loan-by-loan  basis.    Generally  restructurings  are  related  to 
interest rate reductions, loan term extensions and short term payment forbearance as means to maximize collectability of 
troubled credits.  If a portion of the TDR loan is uncollectible (including forgiveness of principal), the uncollectible amount 
will be  charged off against the  allowance at the  time  of the  restructuring.   In  general, a borrower  must  make at least six 
consecutive  timely  payments  before  the  Corporation  would  consider  a  return  of  a  restructured  loan  to  accruing  status  in 
accordance with FDIC guidelines regarding restoration of credits to accrual status.   

The  Corporation  has,  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  per  recently  enacted  accounting 
standard updates, evaluated all loan modifications to determine the fair value impact of the underlying asset.  The carrying 
amount  of  the  loan  is  compared  to  the  expected  payments  to  be  received,  discounted  at  the  loan’s  original  rate,  or  for 
collateral dependent loans, to the fair value of the collateral.   

The Corporation, at December 31, 2011, had loans totaling $2.503 million for which repayment terms were modified to the 
extent that they were deemed to be ―restructured‖ loans.  The $2.503 million is comprised of 2 loans, the largest of which 
had a December 31, 2011 balance of $2.400 million.  This loan was modified to allow the suspension of principal payments 
for  ―over a 12-month period‖.  This  suspension of principal payments on this loan  with a 30-year amortization does  not 
result in a significant change to the net present value of total principal and interest payments over the term of the note.  This 
loan is deemed collateral dependent, and as such an evaluation of the underlying collateral and ability for repayment based 
upon cash flows was done.  This evaluation resulted in an estimate of expected loss of principal.  As of December 31, 2011, 
the Corporation established a $.650 million specific reserve on this loan.   

A summary of troubled debt restructurings at December 31 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 8 – MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS 

Mortgage servicing rights (―MSRs‖) are recorded when loans are sold in the secondary market with servicing retained.  As 
of December 31, 2011, the Corporation had obligations to service approximately $50 million of residential first mortgage 
loans.  The valuation is based upon the net present value of the projected revenues over the expected life of the loans being 
serviced, as reduced by estimated internal costs to service these loans.  The fair value of the capitalized servicing rights 
approximates the carrying value.  The key economic assumptions used in determining the fair value of the mortgage 
servicing rights include an annual constant prepayment speed of 15.90 and a discount rate of 7.50% for December 31, 2011.   

The following summarizes mortgage servicing rights capitalized and amortized, along with the aggregate activity in related 
valuation allowances (dollars in thousands): 

NOTE 9 – BORROWINGS 

Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings consist of the following at December 31 (dollars in thousands): 

The Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings are collateralized at December 31, 2011 by the following:  a collateral agreement 
on the Corporation’s one to four family residential real estate loans with a book value of approximately $37.416 million; 
mortgage related and municipal securities with an amortized cost and estimated fair value of $19.793 million and $20.883       
million, respectively; and Federal Home Loan Bank stock owned by the Bank totaling $3.060 million.  Prepayment of the 
advances is subject to the provisions and conditions of the credit policy of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis in 
effect as of December 31, 2011.   

The  U.S.D.A.  Rural  Development  borrowing  is  collateralized  by  loans  totaling  $.160  million  originated  and  held  by  the 
Corporation’s  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  First  Rural  Relending  and  an  assignment  of  a  demand  deposit  account  in  the 
amount of $.935 million, and guaranteed by the Corporation.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) 

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.    The  Corporation,  as  of  December  31,  2011  had  a  net  operating  loss  and  tax  credit 
carryforwards  for  tax  purposes  of  approximately  $26.7  million,  and  $2.1  million,  respectively.    The  Corporation  will 
continue to evaluate the future benefits from these carryforwards and at such time as it becomes ―more likely than not‖ that 
they would be utilized prior to expiration will recognize the additional benefits as an adjustment to the valuation allowance.  
The  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  expire  twenty  years  from  the  date  they  originated.    These  carryforwards,  if  not 
utilized, will begin to expire  in the year 2023.   A portion of the NOL, approximately $15.6 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 11 – 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.  The original term of this was extended during 2011 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 Corporation signed an extension  on this lease through  September 
2012.    The  Corporation  is  currently  in  the  process  of  building  a  new  banking  facility  in  Escanaba  to  replace  its  current 
leased location. 

The third operating lease, for a second 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 $260,000 in 2011, $270,000 in 2010, and $207,000 in 2009. 

NOTE 12 – 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  $125,000,  $110,000,  and  $120,000  in  2011, 
2010, and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 13 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 

Prior to the recapitalization in 2004, 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, 
2011 and 2010, for vested benefits under this plan, was $.638 million and $.725 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  $1.626 million and $1.559 million at December 31, 2011 and 
2010, respectively.  Deferred compensation expense for the plan was $35,000, $43,000, and $72,000 for 2011, 2010, and 
2009, respectively. 

NOTE 14 – 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, 2011, 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.

NOTE 14 – REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED) 

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, 2011, 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 15 – 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 were 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

NOTE 15 – STOCK OPTION PLANS (CONTINUED)  

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

There were no options granted in 2011 and in 2010.   

Following is a summary of the options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2011: 

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  was  expensed  based  upon  the  vesting  period  without 
consideration  given  to  market  value  appreciation.    There  are  no  future  compensation  expenses  related  to  existing  option 
programs.

NOTE 16 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) 

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

NOTE 17 – 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).   

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.

NOTE 17 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED) 

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. 

NOTE 18 - 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. 

Legal Proceedings and Contingencies 

At December 31, 2011, there were no pending material legal proceedings to which the Corporation is a party or to which 
any of its property was subject, except for proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of 
management, pending legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of 
operations of the Corporation.

NOTE 18 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED) 

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, 2011 represents $75.391 million, or 24.22%, compared to $58.114 million, 
or  19.56%, of the  commercial loan portfolio  on December 31, 2010.  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 19 - 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 and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves 
that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. 

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. 

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.

NOTE 19 - FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) 

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. 

The  following  is  information  about  the  Corporation’s  assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  basis  at 
December 31, 2011 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.

MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 

NOTE 19 - FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED) 

The fair value of all investment securities at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 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, 2011 or December 31, 2010. 

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. 

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 held for sale.  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,  2010  through 
December 31, 2011, as reported by NASDAQ.   

The Corporation had approximately 1,200 shareholders of record as of March 30, 2012. 

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 2009, 2010 and 2011.  There were no sales of unregistered securities in 2011, nor were there 
any repurchases of the Corporation’s common stock in 2011.

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, 2011 and 2010 and the results of operations for 2009 through 2011. This discussion also covers asset 
quality, liquidity, interest rate sensitivity, and capital resources for the years 2010 and 2011.  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 2011 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 profit available to common shareholders in 2011 of $1.452 million, or $.42 per share, compared 
to a loss of $1.160 million, $.34 per share, in 2010 and net income in 2009 of $1.907 million, $.56 per share. 

Total assets of the  Corporation at  December 31, 2011,  were $498.311 million, an increase of $19.615  million, or 4.10% 
from total assets of $478.696 million reported at December 31, 2010.  In 2011, the Corporation showed increased balances 
in both investments and loans, which were funded primarily with Bank core deposit growth.   

At December 31, 2011, the Corporation’s loans stood at $401.246 million, an increase of $18.160 million, or 4.74%, from 
2010 year-end balances of $383.086 million.  Total loan production in 2011 amounted to $172.577 million, which included 
$38.971  million  of  secondary  market  mortgage  loans  sold.    The  Corporation  also  sold  $18.970  million  of  SBA/USDA 
guaranteed  loans.    Loan  balances  were  also  impacted  by  normal  amortization  and  paydowns,  some  of  which  related  to 
payoffs on participation loans. 

Nonperforming  loans  totaled  $7.993  million,  or  1.99%  of  total  loans  at  December  31,  2011.    Nonperforming  assets  at 
December 31, 2011, were $11.155 million, 2.24% of total assets, compared to $16.125 million or 3.37% of total assets at 
December 31, 2010. 

Total  deposits  increased  from  $386.779  million  at  December  31,  2010,  to  $404.789  million  at  December  31,  2011,  an 
increase of 4.66%.  The increase in deposits in 2011 was comprised of a decrease in wholesale deposits of $40.100 million 
and an increase in core deposits of $58.110 million. 

Shareholders’ equity totaled  $55.263 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $53.882 million at the  end of 2010, an 
increase of $1.381 million.  This increase reflects the consolidated net income of $1.452 million, the after tax decrease in 
the market value of available-for-sale investments, which amounted to $.287 million and the increase from the accretion of 
the discount on preferred stock of $.215 million.  The book value per common share at December 31, 2011, amounted to 
$12.97 compared to $12.63 at the end of 2010.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Summary 
The Corporation reported net income available to common shareholders of $1.452 million in 2011, compared to a net loss 
of $1.160 million in 2010 and net income of $1.907 million in 2009.  The 2011 results include significantly reduced credit 
related  expenses  and  a  decreased  loan  loss  provision.    The  loan  loss  provision  in  2011  was  $2.300  million,  with  write-
downs and losses on other real estate held for sale of $1.137 million.  Also included in 2011 results are income of $1.500 
million  from  SBA/USDA  loan  sales  and  the  initial  valuation  of  mortgage  servicing  rights  of  $.400  million.    The  2010 
results reflected elevated costs associated with nonperforming assets, including loan loss provisions of $6.500 million and 
write-downs  and  losses  on  other  real  estate  held  for  sale  of  $2.753  million.    The  2009  results  include  $1.208  million  of 
gains related to branch office sales and $1.471 million of security gains.     

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 83% of total revenue in 2011.  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  $1.523  million  from  $16.496  million  in  2010  to  $18.019 
million,  in  2011.    In  2011,  interest  rates  were  stable  with  the  prime  rate  at  3.25%  for  the  entire  year.    The  Corporation 
experienced  a  modest  increase,  12  basis  points,  in  the  overall  rates  on  earnings  assets  from  5.12%  in  2010  to  5.24%  in 
2011.    Interest  bearing  funding  sources  declined,  by  27  basis  points,  from  1.60%  in  2010  to  1.33%  in  2011.    The 
combination of these rate changes resulted in an improved net interest margin from  3.68% in 2010 to 4.08% in 2011.  In 
2010, the Corporation realized an increase of $.098 million in net interest income.  A portion of this increase was attributed

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

In  2010,  the  Corporation  benefited  from  low  interest  rates  prevalent  on  wholesale  deposit  instruments.  During  2010, 
interest  rates  in  the  wholesale  environment  were  significantly  more  attractive  than  rates  offered  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  69% of variable rate loans that predominantly reprice with changes in the 
prime  rate  and  31%  of  fixed  rate  loans.    A  majority  of  the  variable  rate  loans,  69%,  or  $191  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 $98 million of these loans with floors, while the remainder will 
reprice with an additional 100 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 
2011, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan loss of $2.300 million, compared to a provision of $6.500 million in 
2010 and $3.700 million in 2009. 

Noninterest Income 

Noninterest  income  was  $3.656  million,  $2.795  million,  and  $4.751  million  in  2011,  2010,  and  2009, respectively.    The 
principal recurring sources of noninterest income are the gains on the sale of SBA/USDA guaranteed loans and secondary 
market loans.  In 2011, revenues from these two business lines totaled $2.300 million compared to $1.407 million in 2010 
and  $.830  million  in  2009.    In  2010,  the  Corporation  expanded  its  efforts  to  generate  increased  income  from  secondary 
market loans by adding additional staff and centralizing processing activities.  In 2010, the Bank initiated the new business 
of retaining the servicing rights on mortgage loans sold to the secondary market.  This line of business attained profitability 
during 2011, and as such, a valuation of the future revenue stream was recognized as income and booked as an asset at the 
Bank.  In 2011, income from servicing mortgages amounted to $.400 million.  Late in 2011, the bank also established its 
own title insurance agency which offers title services for both commercial and retail based mortgage transactions.  Income 
from this line of business was minimal in 2011, but is expected to provide increased revenues in 2012 and beyond.     

Deposit related income totaled $.832 million in 2011 compared to $.990 million in 2010 and $1.023 million in 2009.  The 
current regulatory environment may limit the Corporation’s ability to grow these revenue sources.  In 2009, the Corporation

Noninterest Expense 

Noninterest  expense  was  $15.969  million  in  2011,  compared  to  $16.598  million  and  $13.802  million  in  2010  and  2009, 
respectively.    In  2011,  the  decrease  in  noninterest  expense  totaled  $.629  million,  or  3.79%.    The  largest  decrease  in 
noninterest  expense  for  2011  occurred  in  write-downs  and  losses  on  the  sale  of  other  real  estate,  which  decreased  from 
$2.753  million  in  2010  to  $1.137  million  in  2011.    Salaries  and  benefits,  at  $7.275  million,  increased  by  $.357  million, 
5.16%,  from  the  2010  expenses  of  $6.918  million  and  compared  to  $6.583  million  in  2009.    Professional  service  fees 
increased  in  2011  largely  due  to  increased  costs  associated  with  the  compliance  issues  of  regulatory  reform.    These 
increased costs are expected to continue for future periods. 

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.

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.  The Corporation, as of December 31, 2011, had net operating loss (―NOL‖) and tax credit 
carryforwards of approximately $26.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively. 

Current Federal Tax Provision 

In 2011, the Corporation recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.098 million, compared to a $3.500 million tax benefit 
in  2010  and  a  $.787  million  provision  in  2009.    In  2011,  the  Corporation  evaluated  the  valuation  allowance  against  the 
deferred  tax  asset  balances  and  determined  expectations  for  the  utilization  of  the  NOL  and  tax  credit  carryforwards.    In 
making  this  determination  the  Corporation  reviewed  current  year  core  earnings  and  forecasts  of  future  earnings.    The 
probability  of  attaining  the  forecasted  earnings  was  also  evaluated  based  upon  the  current  economic  environment  both 
nationally and in local markets.  The Corporation will re-evaluate this deferred tax asset and the related valuation in 2012 to 
determine the likelihood of realization of all the remaining unbooked benefit. 

Deferred Tax Benefit – Historical Commentary 

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. 

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, 2011, the Corporation had an NOL carryforward of approximately $26.7 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  $15.6  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,  2011  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  increased  $4.867  million  in  2011,  from  $33.860 million  at  December  31,  2010  to 
$38.727 million at December 31, 2011.   

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,  $24.993  million  or  65%,  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, 2011, investment 
securities with an estimated fair market value of $19.020 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, 2011. 

The Corporation continued  to experience strong loan demand in 2011  with approximately $172.577 million of  new  loan 
production,  including  $38.971  million  of  mortgage  loans  sold  in  the  secondary  market.    At  2011  year-end,  the 
Corporation’s loans stood at $401.246 million, an increase from the 2010 year-end balances of $383.086 million.  In 2011, 
the  secondary  mortgage  loans  that  were  produced  and  sold  totaled  $38.971  million  while  the  SBA/USDA  loan  sales 
amounted  to  $18.970  million.    The  production  of  loans  was  distributed  among  the  regions,  with  the  Upper  Peninsula  at 
$95.024 million, $48.226 million in the Northern Lower Peninsula and $29.327 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.

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

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 2011, 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. 

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  2011  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,  2011,  our  residential  loan  portfolio  totaled  $83.106  million,  or  21.46%  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 $2.471 million at the end of 2010 to $1.991 million at 2011 year-end.  The Corporation has 
elected to  refrain  from  making tax-exempt loans,  since they provide  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.   

Troubled  debt  restructurings  (―TDR‖)  are  determined  on  a  loan-by-loan  basis.    Generally  restructurings  are  related  to 
interest rate reductions, loan  term extensions and short term payment forbearance as means to maximize collectability of 
troubled credits.  If a portion of the TDR loan is uncollectible (including forgiveness of principal), the uncollectible amount 
will be  charged off against the  allowance at the time of the restructuring.  In  general, a borrower  must  make at least six 
consecutive  timely  payments  before  the  Corporation  would  consider  a  return  of  a  restructured  loan  to  accruing  status  in 
accordance with FDIC guidelines regarding restoration of credits to accrual status.

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

The  Corporation  has,  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  per  recently  enacted  accounting 
standard updates, evaluated all loan modifications to determine the fair value impact of the underlying asset.  The carrying 
amount  of  the  loan  is  compared  to  the  expected  payments  to  be  received,  discounted  at  the  loan’s  original  rate,  or  for 
collateral dependent loans, to the fair value of the collateral.   

The Corporation, at December 31, 2011, had loans totaling $2.503 million for which repayment terms were modified to the 
extent that they were deemed to be ―restructured‖ loans.  The $2.503 million is comprised of 2 loans, the largest of which 
had a December 31, 2011 balance of $2.400 million.  This loan was modified to allow the suspension of principal payments 
for  ―over a 12-month period‖.  This  suspension of principal payments on this loan  with a 30-year amortization does  not 
result in a significant change to the net present value of total principal and interest payments over the term of the note.  This 
loan is deemed collateral dependent, and as such an evaluation of the underlying collateral and ability for repayment based 
upon cash flows was done.  This evaluation resulted in an estimate of expected loss of principal.  As of December 31, 2011, 
the Corporation established a $.650 million specific reserve on this loan.   

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  2011  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 2012.

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  2011  amounted  to  $3.662  million,  or  .94%  of  average  loans 
outstanding, compared to $5.112 million, or 1.33% of loans outstanding in 2010.  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. 

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  2011,  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  represented  1.31%  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 held for sale 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 held for sale (dollars in thousands): 

During 2011, the Corporation received real estate in lieu of loan payments of $4.194 million.  In determining the carrying 
value  of  other  real  estate  held  for  sale,  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 held for sale. 

Deposits 
Total deposits at December 31, 2011 were $404.789 million, an increase of $18.010 million, or 4.66% from December 31, 
2010 deposits of $386.779 million.  The table below shows the deposit mix for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): 

The increase in deposits, as illustrated above, is composed of a decrease in noncore deposits of $40.100 million, while core 
deposits increased by $58.110 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.   Most of the deposit growth in 
2011 and 2010 occurred in lower cost transactional deposits. 

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 2011 year end, this source of funding totaled 
$35  million  and  the  Corporation  secured  this  funding  by  pledging  loans  and  investments.    The  $35  million  of  FHLB 
borrowings had a weighted average maturity of 3.3 years, with a weighted average rate of 1.85% at December 31, 2011.

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, 2011 the Bank had $38.727 million of securities, with a weighted average maturity of 41.8 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, 2011 (dollars in thousands): 

The above analysis indicates that at December 31, 2011, the Corporation had a cumulative asset sensitivity gap position of 
$69.219 million within the one-year timeframe.  The Corporation’s cumulative  asset sensitive gap suggests that if market 
interest rates were to increase in the next twelve months, the Corporation has the potential to earn more net interest income 
since  more  assets  would  reprice  at  higher  rates  than  liabilities.    Conversely,  if  market  interest  rates  decrease  in  the  next 
twelve months, the above gap position suggests the Corporation’s net interest income would decrease.  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, 2011, the Corporation had $276.547 million of variable rate loans that reprice primarily  with the prime 
rate index.  Approximately $191.158 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, $92.493 million of these floor-
rate loans would reprice with a 100 basis point prime rate increase, with $97.608 million repricing with an additional 100 
basis point prime rate increase. 

At December 31, 2010, the Corporation had a cumulative liability sensitivity gap position of $1.258 million within the one-
year time frame.   

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, 2011 (dollars in thousands).  Nonaccrual  loans of $5.490 
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, 2011, 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 
deposit liabilities approximately equal to its Canadian assets. 

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 18 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  2011,  the  Corporation  decreased  cash  and  cash  equivalents  by  $.649  million.    As  shown  on  the  Corporation’s 
consolidated statement of cash flows, liquidity was primarily impacted by cash used in investing activities.  The net change 
in investing activities included a net increase in loans of $19.749 million and a ―net‖ increase in securities available for sale 
of  $5.653  million.    The  net  increases  in  assets  were  offset  by  a  similar  increase in deposit liabilities of $18.010  million.  
This increase in deposits was composed of a decrease in non-core deposits of $40.100 million combined with an increase in 
core  deposits  of  $58.110  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,  2011,  $19.707 
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, 2011, the Bank’s  core  deposits in relation to total  funding  were 79.29% compared to  68.73% in 2010.  
These ratios indicated at December 31, 2011, 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 
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, 2011, the  Bank had $27.500 million of unsecured lines available  and another 
$1.675 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.

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, 2011, 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, 2011, 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 2011, total capitalization decreased by $1.381 million.  Other 
changes in total capital occurred from recognition of net income and market value decrease of the Corporation’s investment 
securities.  During 2011, risk based capital increased by $4.472 million, while Tier 1 Capital increased by $4.156 million. 

The increase 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
