COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES PROFITABLE Q2 RESULTS	For Immediate Release

MOUNT CLEMENS,Mich., July 23, 2008 —Community Central Bank Corporation (NasdaqGM:CCBD),the holding company forCommunity Central Bank, today reported earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $275,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $536,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended 2007. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $515,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1,194,000, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

David A. Widlak, President and CEO commented, “We expect that our continued profitability, coupled with our additional capital availability from the Bank Holding Company will give us opportunities for growth as we go forward. Despite the current economic challenges we continue to execute our business plan, which includes revenue diversification, development of core deposits and the reduction of nonperforming assets. We are proactively addressing the weaknesses in our loan portfolio related to the Michigan economy and our real estate markets. We realize that we cannot rely solely on an eventual local economic upturn as our solution to increasing returns for our shareholders. We must continue to focus on those activities which grow revenue while protecting our valuable capital.”

Mr. Widlak went on to state: “At June 30, 2008, we remained “Well Capitalized,” the highest ranking of regulatory capital. We were encouraged by a decrease in nonperforming assets from the first quarter of this year. However, we remain cognizant of our economic environment and continue to expand our efforts to reduce current levels of nonperforming assets and mitigate any future deterioration in the loan portfolio. While our provision for loan losses was historically larger than normal, it was less than half the provision of the first quarter of 2008. Net interest margin has been affected by the large drop in short term interest rates, which reduced the yield on our loans, the price competition for deposits in our markets and the level of nonaccruing loans. We do expect interest margin improvement in upcoming quarters as time deposits continue to reprice down from relative higher levels. Our Trust and Wealth Management divisions continue to grow, producing a larger relative portion of revenue. While core deposit growth continues to be a challenging task, we were encouraged by the growth in demand deposits which ended June 30, 2008 at $40.4 million or 12.2% of total deposits.”

We recorded an $884,000 provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2008, based upon management’s review of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio and the level of our allowance for loan losses. Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 4.15% at June 30, 2008, compared to 4.28% at March 31, 2008 and 3.56%

at December 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2008 was $7.0 million, or 1.78% of total loans and 34.97% of nonperforming loans, versus $6.4 million, or 1.64% and 36.21% at December 31, 2007, respectively.

Noninterest income was $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2008, increasing $1.0 million, or 88.6%, from the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily related to a net increase in the fair market value of assets and liabilities as measured under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS 159). The increase was largely attributable to the fair value of the subordinated debenture connected with the February 2007 Trust Preferred Issuance. The net change in fair value, which was largely associated with this instrument and the corresponding interest rate swap, totaled $872,000 in unrealized gains for the second quarter of 2008, as recorded in other income. The widening of market credit spreads for trust preferred securities experienced in the second quarter of 2008 increased the relative fair value of this financial liability dramatically. The Corporation hedges against changes in interest rates with an interest rate swap, which is also accounted for under SFAS 159. The hedge does not cover changes in credit spreads, which typically occur over much longer periods of time than we are currently experiencing. Changes in credit spreads are not easily predictable and may cause adverse changes in the fair value of this instrument and a possible loss of income in the future. Noninterest income was $5.4 million for the first six months of 2008, increasing $2.8 million, or 109.1%, from the first six months of 2007. The increase was largely attributable to the aforementioned net change in fair value over the six month period.

Noninterest expense was $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2008, increasing $352,000, or 10.3%, from the second quarter of 2007. Decreases in salaries and benefits of $68,000, or 3.6%, from staffing reductions, were offset by an increase in other expense of $433,000, or 41.7%. These other expenses included valuation charges incurred on foreclosed property and legal expense on loan workouts. Noninterest expense was $7.3 million for the first six months of 2008, increasing $449,000, or 6.5%, again resulting from increases in valuation costs incurred on foreclosed property and other workout related costs, which exceeded cost-savings achieved in other expense areas.

At June 30, 2008, the Corporation’s total assets were $532.3 million, an increase of $12.0 million from December 31, 2007. Total loans of $394.2 million increased slightly, up $4.3 million, or 1.1%, from December 31, 2007. Increases in commercial loans were partially offset by decreases in all other loan categories. Total deposits of $330.1 million increased $1.5 million, or 0.5%, for the first half of 2008. Increases for the first six months were primarily comprised of noninterest bearing demand deposits of $8.7 million, offset by decreases in time deposits of $8.5 million, with other deposit categories posting smaller net changes. Total stockholders’ equity of $33.2 million

remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2007 as increases in retained earnings were offset by decreases in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of changes in the market value of available-for-sale securities.
