Dear Shareholders:
This letter will provide you, our shareholders, with an update on the performance of Mackinac Financial Corporation through the end of 2006. We are pleased with our continued success in generating commercial loans, but have not yet generated the level of core deposit growth that we need to create profits that are more in line with shareholder expectations.

The main thrust of our initial Strategic Plan was to deploy relationship bankers with “big bank” lending skills in Oakland County, Michigan and other growing banking markets. We have been successful in the execution of this part of our Plan with loan production that has been in line with operational budgets. In 2006, the Corporation returned to profitability. The foundation has now been built to sustain this profitability in future periods. Our Strategic Plan also called for us to maximize the productivity and efficiency of our branch system to deliver the maximum amount of deposits at the lowest funding cost possible to compliment this loan growth. We must now demonstrate the ability to leverage our branch system to grow core deposits, which is the next critical factor to expand earnings. The following information will review our progress thus far and outline some of our future initiatives.

Loan Growth
We have been very successful in growing our loan base in the first two years following the recapitalization. In 2006, we grew total loans by $82.810 million or 34.54%. The total loan growth for the two year period amounted to $118.749 million, a 58% increase from our 2004 starting point of $203.832 million.

Loan Production
The success of our loan growth is the result of placing highly skilled commercial lenders in the markets which offer the most potential for loan growth, which has resulted in loan production in our three geographical regions as shown below.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
As you can see, we have generated solid loan growth in all regions. We were especially pleased with the fourth quarter surge in loan production for Southeast Michigan. We will continue to evaluate loan growth potential and add loan staffing in markets where we can grow loans with good credit quality and acceptable loan pricing enhanced with fee income.
The chart below illustrates the portfolio mix as of each period end:
Total Loans

The loan production that we were able to generate in 2005 and 2006 did not translate to our projected growth in loan balances due to higher than anticipated levels of loan payoffs which totaled $46.8 million in 2005 and $27.9 million in 2006. These loan payoffs have generally resulted in improved loan portfolio mix and quality.
2
Credit Quality
Loan quality has continued to be one of our strengths, which is a testament to our underwriting processes. Nonperforming loans amounted to $4.307 million, 2.11% of loans, at December 31, 2004 to $114,000 on December 31, 2005, and $2.939 million, or .91% of loans, at 2006 year end. The increase in nonperforming loans, $2.8 million, in 2006 was due primarily to commercial credits that were originated prior to the recapitalization and existing management. Measurement ratios pertaining to credit quality are well below peer group averages in all categories. An important aspect in the management of our loan portfolio is a program of continual credit monitoring which results in early detection of problem credits. We follow this detection process with a program that aggressively seeks an early resolution of problem loans to minimize principal loss and the expenses of problem credits.
Deposit Growth
Core deposits, which we define as demand deposits, interest bearing checking accounts, money market savings accounts and certificates of deposit under $100,000 started to grow in mid 2005. We renamed the bank, changed all of our signs, altered every deposit product to bring about market place competitiveness and developed new collateral material and newspaper ads for our local markets. We grew core deposits by 14.0% in 2005 and continued this success in 2006 by growing core deposits by $25.079 million or 14.4%.
While we are gratified by our progress in changing our deposit gathering skills, we are not satisfied and we have a lot that we need to accomplish. We have introduced a remote deposit capture product which, when combined with our internet banking product and willingness to waive ATM fees, positions us to compete very effectively for the banking accounts of our commercial and consumer customers. We have also hired cash management specialists in each of our three core markets to allow us to pursue these accounts aggressively. In 2007, we plan on significant gains in the core deposit area.

Net Interest Margin
We incurred some margin erosion during 2006 due to a higher proportionate share of wholesale funding. Our net interest margin was 3.51%, 13 basis points lower than the 3.64% recorded in 2005. We continued to benefit from additional prime rate increases early in 2006 due to repricing of loans indexed to the prime rate. We have a disciplined process for asset and liability management to consider ramifications of new deposit products, along with loan fees and rates relative to incremental cost of funding. We support the daily management of loan and deposit products with a monthly review of our interest rate sensitivity in rising or declining rate environments.
Noninterest Expense
Controlling noninterest expense is a distinct challenge when our primary Corporate objective for increased profitability hinges on growth. We accept this challenge yet recognize that certain operational costs will increase in future periods; however we have in fact continued our plan for reduction of noninterest expense in most other categories as illustrated in the table below.

During 2006, we incurred significant unplanned legal expenses, approximately $.550 million, in the pursuit of legal action against the Corporation’s former accountants. This lawsuit was settled in 2007 and we anticipate recovering the majority of our costs.
During the fourth quarter, we believe that we incurred approximately $.245 million in non-recurring costs. We are pleased with the run rate for noninterest expenses after these costs are removed and believe that we have made significant progress in reducing operating expenses while growing the Bank. We will continue to focus on our expense base and add staffing based on growth in loans and deposits.

As illustrated above, this measurement of operational efficiency has shown improvement. The fourth quarter 2006 increase is primarily due to legal costs and year-end bonus payments and not indicative of ongoing increased operational costs. We recognize that cost control is extremely important given interest margin pressures and our limited opportunities to increase noninterest income. The efficiency ratio for our peer group is still well below our current levels but we expect continued improvement as we increase margin dollars and attain modest growth from current noninterest income initiatives.
Capital
The Bank and Corporation were both well capitalized as of the end of 2006. We increased Bank capital in 2006 by infusing capital from the holding company. This funding was provided under a new line of credit established early in 2006 with a correspondent bank. This line of credit will also support “projected” growth in 2007.
Looking Forward
For 2007, we have taken steps to address our need to leverage our branching system. We recently appointed executive officers in our regional offices to the position of Regional President with increased responsibility for day to day management along with specific loan and deposit goals. We have also initiated a deposit and loan growth incentive program for 2007. As mentioned above, to further emphasize our 2007 objective for core deposit growth, we added staff that specializes in corporate cash management services. These individuals will work directly with regional presidents, branch personnel and loan officers in each of our regions to develop existing and seek new customer relationships with the primary goal of increasing core transactional account deposit balances.
We believe that 2007 will prove to be pivotal in the evolution of your Corporation. We have set the foundation which provides base profitability. We have developed an Operating Plan which will increase our profitability in 2007 and, if successful, bring profits more in line with peer. We have begun work on the modification of our longer term Strategic Plan to address our deficiencies, which include our weakness in generating noninterest income, our need to increase core deposit growth and our near and long term needs for increased capital to support projected growth. While we are facing a stiff headwind with Michigan’s economy, our size, agility and ability to provide exceptional customer service provides us with confidence that we will be able to generate shareholder value and provide good returns on invested capital. As always, we thank you for your continued support and welcome your comments.
Sincerely,
Paul D. Tobias
Chairman and CEO

Mackinac Financial Corporation
Manistique, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Mackinac Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each year in the three year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Mackinac Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each year in the three year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised), Share Based Payments, effective January 1, 2006.

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 inter-company transactions and accounts.
Capital
On December 15, 2004, the Corporation consummated a recapitalization through the issuance of $30 million of common stock in a private placement. The net proceeds of this offering amounted to $26.2 million. This recapitalization provided the funding to enable the Corporation to recapitalize the Bank with a $15.5 million capital infusion. This capital infusion provided the Bank with enough capital to be deemed a “well capitalized” institution by regulatory standards. The Corporation used $6.5 million of the proceeds to settle the $12.5 million liability of the subordinated debentures. The settlement of this liability also included the accrued interest of approximately $1.2 million. The Corporation recognized a gain from the settlement of the subordinated debentures of $6.6 million.
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 4.5%, 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. Approximately 1% of the Corporation’s business activity is with Canadian customers and denominated in Canadian dollars.
While the Corporation’s chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various Corporation products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Corporation-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of investment securities, the valuation of foreclosed real estate, deferred tax assets, and impairment of intangible assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, noninterest-bearing deposits in correspondent banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)
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.
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 on loans is accrued and credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, it is probable that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. Upon such discontinuance, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Interest income on impaired and nonaccrual loans is recorded on the cash basis. Loan-origination fees and allocated costs of originating loans are deferred and recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield in accordance with FASB Statement No. 91.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses includes specific allowances related to commercial loans, when they have been judged to be impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Corporation will not collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These specific allowances are based on discounted cash flows of expected future payments using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
The Corporation continues to maintain a general allowance for loan losses for loans not considered impaired. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which management believes is adequate to provide for possible loan losses. Management periodically evaluates the adequacy of the allowance using the Corporation’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, composition of the portfolio, current economic conditions, and other factors. The allowance does not include the effects of expected losses related to future events or future changes in economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective since it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes the collectability of the principal is unlikely. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of collectability.
In management’s opinion, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date.

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.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets attributable to the value of core deposits are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The core deposit premium is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of ten years and is subject to an annual impairment test based on the change in deposit base.
The Corporation reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes assessing the estimated fair value of the intangible asset based on market prices for similar assets, where available, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows associated with the intangible asset. Adjustments are recorded if it is determined that the benefit of the intangible asset has decreased.
Stock Option Plans
The Corporation sponsors three stock option plans. One plan was approved during 2000 and applies to officers, employees, and non-employee 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 split), to a total authorized share balance of 453,587. The other two plans, one for officers and employees and the other for non-employee directors, were approved in 1997. A total of 30,000 (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 are granted at a price equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant. The committee determines the vesting of the options when they are granted as established under the plan.
The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised) “Share Based Payments” in the first quarter of 2006. This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issue to Employees” and its related implementation guidance. Under Opinion No. 125, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. This adoption resulted in the recognition of after tax compensation expense in the amount of $310,000 for 2006. The expense recorded recognizes the current period vesting of options outstanding. The after tax compensation expense, using this same accounting treatment would have amounted to $307,000 in 2005 and $339,000 in 2004. The per share impact of this accounting change was approximately $.02 per share in each quarter of 2006, $.08 for the year.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, which are recognized as a separate component of equity and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock option agreements.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Earnings (loss) per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The following shows the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Weighted | | | | |
| | | | | | Average | | | Income (Loss) | |
| | Net Income (Loss) | | | Number of Shares | | | per Share | |

Income per share — Basic and diluted | | $ | 1,716 | | | | 3,428,695 | | | $ | .50 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
2005 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Loss per share — Basic and diluted | | $ | (7,364 | ) | | | 3,428,695 | | | $ | (2.15 | ) |

2004 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Loss per share — Basic and diluted | | $ | (1,595 | ) | | | 494,305 | | | $ | (3.23 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | |
In the above disclosure the dilutive effect of additional shares outstanding, as a result of stock options exercisable, was not taken into account since the additional shares issued as a result of vested options under the Company’s option plans would not have a dilutive effect on the earnings or loss calculated per share.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes have been provided under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax expense (credit) is the result of changes in the deferred tax asset and liability. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred asset will not be realized. In 2006, the Company recorded a $500,000 tax benefit and utilized additional NOL carryforward benefits to offset current taxable income. Further discussion on the NOL carryforward and future benefits is presented in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of this report. There was no current tax provision or benefit recorded for 2005. The $147,000 tax expense recorded in 2004 was to recognize limitations of the 2003 NOL carry back due to the alternative minimum tax.
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.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.
NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued this interpretation to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires, among other matters, that the Corporation recognize in its financial
20

MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on an audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of the Corporation’s 2007 fiscal year, with any cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the financial statements.
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159)
SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The Statement’s objective is to improve financial reporting by allowing entities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by the measurement of related assets and liabilities using different attributes, without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Under SFAS No. 159, entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions, as long as it is applied to the instrument in its entirety. The fair value option election is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. The new Statement establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the entity’s election on its earnings but does not eliminate disclosure requirements of other accounting standards. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value must be displayed on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity (a) makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year, (2) has not yet issued financial statements, and (3) elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 57. The Corporation has not yet determined the impact, if any; the implementation of SFAS No. 159 may have on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $1.750 million were restricted on December 31, 2006 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 $100,000. Management believes that these financial institutions have strong credit ratings and the credit risk related to these deposits is minimal.

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):

In December 2005, the Bank completed a sale of nonperforming assets, which resulted in a charge to the reserve of $.4 million. In 2004, the Bank sold $39.3 million of loans, primarily nonperforming, which resulted in a $10.9 million charge to the reserve.
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 of interest or principal. The interest income recorded and that which would have been recorded had nonaccrual and renegotiated loans been current or not troubled was not material to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Impaired Loans
A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

| | | | | | |
| | $ | 38,307 | | | $ | 36,417 | |
| | | | | | |
In the first quarter of 2005, the Corporation prepaid $48.555 million of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings and incurred a prepayment penalty of $4.320 million. This early payoff of FHLB borrowings reduced interest rate risk and better positioned the Corporation for future match funding of loan growth.
The Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings are collateralized at December 31, 2006 by the following: a collateral agreement on the Corporation’s one to four family residential real estate loans with a book value of approximately $18.227 million; U.S. government agency securities with an amortized cost and estimated fair value of $28.389 million and $28.195 million respectively; and Federal Home Loan Bank stock owned by the Bank totaling $3.794 million. Prepayment of the remaining 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, 2006.
The FHLB has the option to convert the above listed convertible — fixed-rate advances to adjustable rate advances, repricing quarterly at three month LIBOR Flat, on the original call date and quarterly thereafter. During 2006, $20.0 million of the advances were converted from fixed to adjustable rate by the FHLB.
In the second quarter of 2006, the Corporation established a $6 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. This line of credit, which is priced at the prime rate, will be utilized by the Corporation to infuse capital into the Bank in order to support the regulatory required 8% Tier 1 Capital. This line of credit is secured by all of the shares of the Bank and matures May 31, 2008.
The U.S.D.A. Rural Development borrowing is collateralized by loans totaling $.926 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 $.539 million, and guaranteed by the Corporation.

A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Corporation established a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset which would require future taxable income in order to be utilized. The Corporation has a net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $32.9 million, and $2.1 million, respectively. The deferred tax benefits related to the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will, at a minimum, be utilized to offset future taxable expense. The Corporation will record the future benefits from these carryforwards at such time as it becomes “more likely than not” that they will be utilized prior to expiration. Please refer to further discussion on income taxes contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis.” This net operating loss carryforward expires twenty years from the date that it originated. A portion of the NOL, approximately $22 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 $1.4 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 12 – OPERATING LEASES
The Corporation leases space for one branch office. The lease is classified as an operating lease. The operating lease for our branch office in Birmingham, which originated in September 2005, had an original term of 66 months with an option to renew for an additional five year period. Future minimum payments, by year and in the aggregate, under the non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year, consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
| | | | |
2007 | | $ | 179 | |
2008 | | | 179 | |
2009 | | | 179 | |
2010 | | | 179 | |
2011 | | | 54 | |
| | | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 770 | |
| | | |
Rent expense for all operating leases amounted to $182,000 in 2006, $91,000 in 2005, and $108,000 in 2004.
NOTE 13 – 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 $70,000, $107,000, and $146,000 for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.
NOTE 14 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS
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, 2006 and 2005, for vested benefits under this plan was $1,135,000 and $1,238,000 respectively. These benefits were originally contracted to be paid over a ten-year period. The final payment is scheduled to occur in 2018. The Corporation maintains life insurance policies on the plan participants. The cash surrender value of the policies was $1,251,000 and $1,494,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Deferred compensation expense for the plan was $85,000, $120,000, and $194,000 for 2006, 2005, and 2004 respectively.
NOTE 15 – SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Corporation owns a Delaware business trust, North Country Capital Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust exists solely to issue capital securities. Prior to the adoption of FIN 46, the Corporation consolidated this entity as a result of its ownership of the outstanding common securities. This entity meets the FIN 46 definition of a VIE, but the Corporation is not the primary beneficiary in the entity. As such, the Corporation deconsolidated this entity in 2003. The Trust issued trust preferred securities and invested the net proceeds in subordinated debentures issued to the Trust by the Corporation. The subordinated debentures were the sole asset of the Trust.
As part of the recapitalization in 2004 and through the issuance of $30 million in common stock in a private placement, the subordinated debentures were paid off. This payoff settlement was negotiated with all of the holders of the subordinated debentures. The total settlement price was $6,500,000 in payment of the $12,450,000 balance in debentures plus accrued interest, which resulted in the Corporation recording a gain on the settlement of $6,617,000.

NOTE 16 – 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, 2006, the Corporation is well capitalized.
To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. In addition, federal banking regulators have established capital classifications beyond the minimum requirements in order to risk-rate deposit insurance premiums and to provide trigger points for prompt corrective action.
The Corporation’s and the Bank’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios as of December 31 (dollars in thousands) are as follows:

NOTE 16 – REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED)
At December 31, 2006, 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.
History
In October 2001, the Bank was notified by the FDIC that it was a “troubled institution” within the meaning of FDIC regulations. As a troubled institution, the Bank is required to notify the FDIC 30 days prior to the addition or replacement of a Board member and the employment or changes in responsibilities of a senior executive officer.
In September 2002, a regularly-scheduled safety and soundness examination of the Bank was conducted by its principal regulators, the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services (“OFIS”), and the FDIC. During the course of that examination, the FDIC, the OFIS, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (“FRB”) requested that the Corporation and the Bank take certain actions, including suspending the payment of dividends and conserving the liquidity of the Corporation. These actions were adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank.
Following the completion of the regularly-scheduled safety and soundness examination of the Bank by the FDIC and the OFIS in November 2002, and the Bank’s receipt of the related Report of Examination (“Report”), the FDIC and the OFIS, with the consent of the Bank, on March 26, 2003, entered a formal order (the “Order”) under Federal and State banking laws. The Order became effective on April 5, 2003, and was to remain in effect until modified or terminated by action of the FDIC and the OFIS. The Order identified deficiencies in the Bank’s policies and procedures for safe and sound operation, including its directorate and management personnel and practices, credit underwriting, credit administration, and policies regarding asset/liability management, liquidity, funds management and investments, and its compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including Regulations O and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board”), the FDIC Rules and Regulations, and the Michigan Banking Code of 1999. The Order also required the Bank to maintain specified capital ratios during the life of the Order.
On February 8, 2005, the Order was formally removed; however, the Bank entered into an informal agreement which required the Bank to maintain a Tier 1 Capital ratio of at least 8%. Following the completion of the regularly scheduled safety and soundness examination in December 2006, this informal agreement was removed.
NOTE 17 – 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. The other two plans, one for officers and employees and the other for non-employee directors, were approved in 1997. A total of 30,000 shares were made available for grant under these plans. Options under all of the plans are granted at the discretion of a committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors. Options to purchase shares of the Corporation’s stock are granted at a price equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant. The committee determines the vesting of the options when they are granted as established under the plan.

As part of the recapitalization of the Corporation, options were granted to two new senior executives of the Corporation and Bank. These options, totaling 257,152 shares, were granted at an exercise price of $9.75 per share or market value. The market value was based upon the offering price of the common stock in the private placement.
The options granted in 2006, 72,500 shares, and in 2005, 112,500 shares, were granted at an exercise price which equaled market value at the date of grant.

NOTE 19 — 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 19 — COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED)
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 (dollars in thousands) are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2006 | | | 2005 | |
Commitments to extend credit: | | | | | | | | |
Fixed rate | | $ | 9,288 | | | $ | 2,118 | |
Variable rate | | | 44,141 | | | | 31,557 | |
Standby letters of credit — Variable rate | | | 6,233 | | | | 10,493 | |
Credit card commitments — Fixed rate | | | 2,391 | | | | 3,135 | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 62,053 | | | $ | 47,303 | |
| | | | | | |
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 irrevocable commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The commitments are structured to allow for 100% collateralization on all standby letters of credit.
Credit card commitments are commitments on credit cards issued by the Corporation’s subsidiary and serviced by other companies. These commitments are unsecured.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business the Corporation is involved in various legal proceedings. For expanded discussion on the Corporation’s legal proceedings, see Note 25.
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. This concentration at December 31, 2006 represents $44.3 million, or 19.6%, compared to $28.2 million, or 16.1%, of the commercial loan portfolio on December 31, 2005. 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, and agriculture. 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 20 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Corporation’s financial instruments:
Cash, cash equivalents, and interest-bearing deposits- The carrying values approximate the fair values for these assets.
Securities- Fair values are based on quoted market prices where available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock– Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost, which is its redeemable value and approximates its fair value, since the market for this stock is limited.
Loans- Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, residential mortgage, and other consumer. The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows using discount rates reflecting the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan.
The methodology in determining fair value of nonaccrual loans is to average them into the blended interest rate at 0% interest. This has the effect of decreasing the carrying amount below the risk-free rate amount and, therefore, discounts the estimated fair value.
Impaired loans are measured at the estimated fair value of the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for loans which are collateral dependent. Therefore, the carrying values of impaired loans approximate the estimated fair values for these assets.
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.

Limitations-Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include premises and equipment, other assets, and other liabilities. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

NOTE 22 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED)
On November 11, 2003, the Corporation filed a motion, as permitted by section 495 of the MBCA, M.C.L.§ 450.1495, requesting the Court to appoint a disinterested person to conduct a reasonable investigation of the claims made by the plaintiff and to make a good faith determination whether the maintenance of the derivative action is in the best interests of the Corporation. After additional written submissions to the Court by the defendants and the plaintiff concerning the issues presented by this motion, and after several conferences with the Court, on May 20, 2004, the Court entered an Order adopting the parties’ written stipulations concerning the appointment of a disinterested person and the manner of conducting the investigation of the claims made by the plaintiff and making recommendations as to whether the maintenance of the derivative action is in the best interests of the Corporation. The Corporation is presently monitoring the process of this legal action and does not expect to incur any substantial legal fees related to the case.
Damon Trust v. Wipfli
On August 27, 2004, a second shareholder’s derivative action, styledVirginia M. Damon Trust v. Wipfli Ullrich Bertelson, LLP, and North Country Financial Corporation, Nominal Defendant, was filed in the Michigan Circuit Court for Grand Traverse County by the same shareholder which brought the derivative action discussed above. The complaint, which demands a jury trial, is brought on behalf of the Corporation against Wipfli Ullrich Bertelson, LLP (“Wipfli”) under the Michigan Accountant Liability statute, M.C.L. 600.2962. It alleges that Wipfli damaged the Corporation by (i) failing to conduct and oversee, with the due care and competence required of professional accountants, the annual audit of the Corporation’s financial statements for its fiscal years ending December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001, (ii) failing to provide, with requisite due care and competence, the internal audit, regulatory compliance, and financial reporting services Wipfli had agreed to provide the Corporation after August 28, 2002, when Wipfli resigned as its auditors to undertake such consulting services, (iii) failing to exercise due care and competence required to ensure that the Corporation’s financial statements conformed to applicable regulatory accounting principles (“RAP”) and generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), (iv) failing to make full disclosure that the Corporation’s administrative, operating, and internal controls were inadequate to prevent loss and damage to its assets, and (v) failing to conduct a diligent and careful “review” of the Corporation’s quarterly financial statements during its fiscal years 2000 and 2001 and the first and second quarters of 2002.
The complaint further alleges that Wipfli undertook in writing (i) to provide professional services, including auditing services, accounting services for preparation of audited financial statements, advice regarding financial statement disclosure, and preparation of annual reports for regulators, including the annual report required by section 36 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, and (ii) to ensure that the Corporation had sufficient systems in place to determine whether it was in compliance with RAP and other regulations of the FDIC and the OFIS. The complaint alleges that Wipfli (i) failed to conduct its audits of the Corporation’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (“GAAS”), (ii) negligently represented that the Corporation’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 were fairly presented in all material respects, (iii) negligently conducted reviews of the Corporation’s quarterly financial statements for the interim quarters of 2000, 2001 and 2002, and (iv) negligently audited the Corporation’s financial statements for the fiscal years 2000 and 2001 by failing to obtain or review sufficient documentation failing to limit the scope of the audit in light of such failure to obtain or review sufficient documentation, failing to verify the accuracy of information obtained from the Corporation for the audit, failing to limit the scope of the audit in light of such failure to verify the accuracy of the information obtained from the Corporation, and substantially underestimating the Corporation’s liabilities and misrepresenting its solvency.
The complaint also alleges that Wipfli is a party responsible for the Corporation’s liability in any securities fraud action arising out of a material overstatement of its financial results. The complaint claims contribution and indemnification from Wipfli on behalf of the Corporation under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any liability it may incur in any such securities fraud action.
On October 12, 2004, Wipfli removed the second shareholder’s derivative action to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. On February 3, 2005, the Corporation filed a Motion to realign the Corporation as the plaintiff, and to dismiss the Virginia M. Damon Trust as a party, in the second shareholder’s derivative action. The plaintiff, Virginia M. Damon Trust filed a brief opposing the Corporation’s motion. Oral argument on the Corporation’s motion was held before the Court on March 7, 2005. The Court took the matter under advisement.

NOTE 22 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED)
In an Order dated September 29, 2005, the Court realigned the Corporation as the plaintiff and made the Corporation exclusively responsible for prosecuting all further aspects of the case, including any settlement. In the same Order, the Court stated that the Virginia M. Damon Trust would remain as a nominal plaintiff in the case, entitled to notice.
The matter is presently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. This litigation is complex, time-consuming and often protracted. The Corporation incurred significant legal and other professional fees associated with the Wipfli action in 2006. The Corporation entered into an agreement with the counsel during 2006 whereby future costs from this action will be paid by counsel in exchange for a share of settlement proceeds, if any. The Corporation does not believe that legal costs associated with the Damon action noted above will be material for 2007.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion will cover results of operations for 2004 through 2006 and asset quality, financial position, liquidity, interest rate sensitivity, and capital resources for the years 2005 and 2006. 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.
HISTORY
The Corporation experienced significant operating losses in 2004 and 2005. The loss incurred in 2004 was due to continued deterioration of the Corporation’s financial condition prior to the recapitalization which occurred in December 2004. Prior to this recapitalization the Corporation and the Bank had recorded ten consecutive quarters of operating losses. The Bank was under a formal “Cease and Desist Order” under Federal and State banking laws and the Corporation had received “going concern” qualified opinions in each of its last three annual reporting periods.
On December 16, 2004, the Corporation consummated a recapitalization plan through the issuance of $30 million of its common stock in a private placement which resulted in net proceeds of $26.2 million. The Corporation utilized a portion of these proceeds, $15.5 million, to infuse capital into the Bank. The Corporation, as a part of the recapitalization, also reached a settlement for a $6.5 million payment to retire its $12.5 million of subordinated debentures. Recapitalization occurred as the culmination of the following historical progression of events. Early in 2005, the Order was terminated and replaced with an informal agreement which was removed in December 2006. The Order and informal agreement are discussed in more detail in the Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements and later in Management’s Discussion.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The purpose of this section is to provide a brief overview of the 2006 results of operations. Additional detail of the balance sheet and Statement of Operations is provided in Management Discussion following this summary.
The Corporation reported net income of $1.716 million, or $.50 per share for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to a net loss of $7.364 million, or $2.15 per share for 2005. Weighted average shares outstanding amounted to 3,248,695 in both years.
The 2006 operations include a $600,000 negative provision recorded in the first quarter, in recognition of improved credit quality, a $261,000 negative provision recorded in the fourth quarter to recognize a specific reserve reduction on a loan payoff, and a $500,000 deferred tax benefit recorded in the third quarter. The deferred tax benefit was recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for recognition of a portion of the benefits to be derived from NOL carry-forwards. The 2006 results also include $310,000 of stock option expense required under the new accounting rules for stock compensation plans, as well as $550,000 of expenses incurred to pursue legal action against the Corporation’s former accountants.
The 2005 loss of $7.364 million includes a number of significant one-time charges. Included are $4.320 million of penalties incurred to prepay $48.555 million of FHLB borrowings, $.815 million of costs associated with conversion of the Corporation’s data processing system, approximately $500,000 of marketing expense to launch the new “mBank” name along with a new line of products and services, and lastly a $200,000 write-down of other real estate property.
Total assets of the corporation at December 31, 2006 were $382.791 million, an increase of 28.1% from total assets of $298.722 million reported at December 31, 2005.
During 2006 the Corporation increased loans by $82.810 million from 2005 year-end balances of $239.771 million, a 34.5% increase. This growth in loans occurred despite payoffs of existing portfolio loans, which totaled $27.9 million, along with normal principal reductions or amortization of $18.9 million. Total loan production in 2006 amounted to $135.2 million.
Asset quality remained strong in 2006. Nonperforming loans, as a percent of loans, was .91% at December 31, 2006. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2006 were $2.965 million, .77% of total assets, compared to $1.059 million or .35% of total assets at December 31, 2005.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Total deposits grew from $232.632 million at December 31, 2005 to $312.421 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of 34.3%. The increase includes a growth in core deposits of the Bank in the amount of $25.079 million, a 14.4% increase from 2005 year end balances of $174.530 million, and increases in non-core deposits of $54.710 million, which include bank CDs greater than $100,000 and brokered deposits.
Shareholders’ equity totaled $28.790 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $26.588 million at the end of 2005, an increase of $2.202 million. This increase reflects consolidated net income of $1.716 million, the capital contribution impact of stock options and also the increase in equity due to the increase in the market value of held-for-sale investments, which amounted to $.176 million. The book value per share at December 31, 2006 amounted to $8.40 compared to $7.75 at the end of 2005.
ASSET QUALITY
The asset quality of the Corporation remained strong in 2006. The 2006 year end balances of nonaccrual loans resulted primarily from two large commercial credits which were originated prior to current management and the subsequent changes that occurred in the Corporate credit culture.

FINANCIAL POSITION
Loans
In 2006, the Corporation increased loan balances by $82.810 million, or 34.5%, from 2005 year-end loan balances of $239.771 million. The loan growth in 2006 compares to loan growth in 2005 of $35.939 million, or 17.6% from 2004 year-end loan balances of $203.832 million. The loan growth in 2006 and 2005 was accomplished despite high loan payoffs of existing portfolio loans of $27.9 million in 2006 and $46.8 million in 2005 and represents the successful execution of the Corporate Strategic Plan to grow commercial loans to provide the foundation for profitability. The Corporation, in order to execute this strategic initiative, has significantly increased its commercial lending staff with the addition of three commercial lenders in 2005 and two additional new hires in 2006. The Corporation emphasizes high quality commercial based lending with the majority of loans carrying variable interest rates which adjust up or down with the prime interest rate or other national indices. In 2006, the Corporation also experienced significant consumer loan growth with increases of $13.354 million or 29.9%, in one to four family mortgage loans and an increase of $.556 million, or 24.3% in other consumer related loans.
Loans represented 84.27% of total assets at the end of 2006 compared to 80.27% at the end of 2005. The loan to deposit ratio, at 103.25%, is higher than a peer average of approximately 90% due in part to the Bank’s utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank long-term borrowings as a funding source.
Following is a summary of the Corporation’s loan balances at December 31 (dollars in thousands):

The above table more clearly illustrates the growth of the loan portfolio from 2004 through 2006 year end. This significant growth in loans for 2006 and 2005 was accomplished through a concentrated effort to return the Corporation to profitability by adding high quality commercial loans generated by a highly skilled commercial lending staff supported with an extensive credit review and underwriting process. The Corporation continues to feel that a properly positioned loan portfolio is the most attractive earning asset available and is the key to returning the Corporation to profitability. The Corporation, with its commercial lending expertise, is highly competitive in structuring loans to meet borrowing needs and meet strong underwriting requirements in order to maintain credit quality.

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 gaming to be problematic, and has no intention of further reducing loans to this industry segment. Management does not believe that its current portfolio
49
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
composition has increased exposure related to any specific industry concentration as of 2006 year end. The current concentration of real estate related loans represents a broad customer base composed of a high percentage of owner-occupied developments.
The Corporation has also extended credit to governmental units, including Native American organizations. Tax-exempt loans and leases decreased from $16.8 million at the end of 2004 to $11.1 million at 2006 year-end. The Corporation has elected to reduce its tax-exempt portfolio, since it currently receives no 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.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management analyzes the allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis to determine whether the losses inherent in the portfolio are properly reserved for. The Corporation utilizes a loan review consultant to perform a review of the loan portfolio. The opinion of this consultant, upon completion of the independent review in 2006, provided findings similar to management on the overall adequacy of the reserve. The Corporation will utilize this same consultant for loan review during 2007.
As a result of the Corporation’s monitoring of delinquent credits combined with rigorous collection efforts, management believes that credit problems will be identified and resolved earlier, at which time there may be more opportunities for favorable resolution.
The Corporation’s credit quality history is demonstrated in the following table (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2006 | | | 2005 | | | 2004 | |

Nonperforming loans to total loans at end of year | | | .91 | % | | | .05 | % | | | 2.11 | % |
| | | | | | | | | |
Nonaccrual loans currently represent less than 1% of all outstanding loans. This low balance is representative of management’s continued success in executing a significant expansion of the loan portfolio without compromising credit quality. Management aggressively addressed historical bad credit decisions with diligent pursuit of creditors, followed by an accelerated ultimate resolution to recognize losses inherent within the portfolio. In 2004, the Bank sold $39.3 million of primarily nonperforming loans which resulted in a $10.9 million charge to the reserve. Late in 2005 the Bank sold $2.1

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

million of nonperforming assets which included $1.0 million of nonaccrual loans. There was no gain or loss on these sales of loans since the sale proceeds were equal to the net carrying value of the loans sold.
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.

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. 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.

Other real estate is initially valued at the lower of cost or the fair value less selling costs. After the initial receipt, management periodically re-evaluates the recorded balance and any additional reductions in the fair value result in a write-down of other real estate.
Securities
During 2006, the securities portfolio continued to be an important component of the Corporation’s strategy to diversify its asset base and increase liquidity. Securities decreased $1.441 million in 2006, from $34.210 million at December 31, 2005 to $32.769 million at December 31, 2006.

The Corporation’s policy is to purchase securities of high credit quality, consistent with its asset/liability management strategies. During the year, securities were purchased and others matured or were called as steps in the process of managing the interest-rate-risk profile of the portfolio. In 2006, the Corporation utilized the excess liquidity provided by held-for-sale securities to fund loan growth. A net gain of $95,000 on the sale of securities was recognized in 2005. There were no security gains or losses in 2004. 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.

During 2004, the Corporation experienced deposit runoff primarily due to the financial condition of the Bank. The Corporation also closed five branch locations and sold the deposits of five branch locations during 2004. Deposits sold amounted to $26.5 million. To offset this deposit runoff, the Corporation increased its reliance on Internet certificates of deposit. In 2005, this trend in deposit runoff was reversed through an extensive marketing campaign introducing a new, more competitive product line, along with the new branding from North Country Bank and Trust to mBank. Although the Corporation has been successful in growing core deposits in 2005 and 2006, the high level of funding required by loan growth during this same two year period has resulted in increased reliance upon brokered deposits. As of December 31, 2006, non-core deposits amounted to 36.11% of total deposits, an increase from 24.98% at 2005 year-end and 29.01% at the end of 2004. The Bank had $87.978 million in brokered deposits at December 31, 2006, 28.16% of total deposits. Non-core funding has a negative effect on the Corporation’s net interest margin, as non-core out-of-market deposits carry higher interest costs.
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 historically used alternative funding sources to provide long-term, stable sources of funds. The current borrowings carry fixed interest rates and stated maturities ranging through 2011. The FHLB has the option to convert the above listed convertible — fixed-rate advances to adjustable rate advances, repricing quarterly at three month LIBOR Flat, on the original call date and quarterly thereafter. During 2006, $20.0 million of the advances were converted from fixed to adjustable rate by the FHLB.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary
The Corporation reported income of $1.716 million in 2006, compared to a loss of $7.364 million and $1.595 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The 2006 operations include a $600,000 negative provision recorded in the first quarter, in recognition of improved credit quality, a $261,000 negative provision recorded in the fourth quarter to recognize a specific reserve reduction on a loan payoff, and a $500,000 deferred tax benefit recorded in the third quarter. The deferred tax benefit was recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for recognition of a portion of the benefits to be derived from NOL carry-forwards. The 2006 results also include $310,000 of stock option expense required under the new accounting rules for stock compensation plans, as well as $550,000 of expenses incurred to pursue legal action against the Corporation’s former accountants.
The loss in 2005 includes a number of significant one-time charges, including a $4.320 million FHLB prepayment penalty, $.815 million data processing conversion charges, $.550 million of marketing expense to launch the new mBank name and new product line, and $.200 million write-down of other real estate property. Basic earnings per share were $.50 in 2006, compared to a loss of $2.15 in 2005 and a loss of $3.23 in 2004.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Net interest income is the Corporation’s primary source of core earnings. Net interest income increased $1.813 million to $11.593 million, in 2006. In 2005, net interest income increased $1.542 million, from $8.238 million in 2004. The increases in net interest income for 2005 and 2006 were primarily the result of the successful expansion of the Corporation’s loan portfolio. The Corporation also benefited from increasing interest rates during this same period since a large portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio repriced with each increase in the prime rate.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing obligations. The net interest income is impacted by economic and competitive factors that influence rates, loan demand, and the availability of funding.
Because the Corporation has a significant portion of its commercial loans at rates that adjust with changes to the prime rate, these rate changes have a significant impact on the Corporation’s interest income.
The Corporation’s net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.64% in 2006 compared to 3.85% in 2005. The 2005 net interest margin represented an increase of 128 basis points from the 2.57% recorded in 2004. The 2005 increase was the result of significant declines in nonaccrual loan balances and an overall improvement in the cost of funding earning assets, largely due to the early prepayment of high rate FHLB borrowings.
In the last two years, the prime rate has increased 300 basis points from 5.25% to 8.25%. This increase in the prime rate has largely been favorable since approximately 65% of the Corporation’s loans repriced upward with each prime rate increase. The current asset and liability repricing simulations indicate the Bank will not incur significant increases or decreases in its net interest income with gradual 100 basis point increases or decreases of the prime rate.
The following table details sources of net interest income for the three years ended December 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

the same degree. The mix of time deposits reflects the Corporation’s need to utilize the brokered and Internet certificate of deposit markets for loan funding when core deposits did not provide adequate sources.
The Corporation’s historical reliance on out-of-market non-core funding from brokered deposits along with the FHLB borrowings, have had a negative effect on net interest margin due to the relative high costs of this funding. The Corporation has placed a high priority on gathering in-market core deposits in order to reduce funding costs and expects less reliance on non-core funding in future periods. The future impact of FHLB borrowings will be somewhat mitigated as a result of the prepayment of $45 million of these borrowings early in 2005.
One final factor that negatively impacted the Corporation’s net interest margin in 2004 was the high level of nonaccrual loans with average balances $16.4 million for the year. The reduction in nonperforming loans in the last two years has been a significant contributing factor to the Corporation’s improved net interest margin.

The following table presents the dollar amount, in thousands, of changes in 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 old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume are shown as a separate variance.

As discussed in the “Deposits” section, the Corporation has developed new deposit products for its local markets to raise funds to be used to replace the higher rate out-of-market certificates. This, coupled with the decrease in the level of nonperforming assets and increased lending in its local markets, is anticipated to increase the net interest margin. The Bank will also benefit from additional rate increases due to its existing asset sensitive position, provided that it is successful with generation of in-market deposit growth to fund new loan production.
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. In 2006, a negative loan loss provision of $.860 million was recorded. This negative provision was recorded due in part to recognize the overall reduction in loan portfolio risk and also as a direct result of a specific reserve reduction from a payoff of a problem loan. There was no provision for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $.983 million, $1.111 million, and $8.542 million in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The principal recurring sources of noninterest income are fees for services related to deposit and loan accounts. In 2004, the Corporation realized a $6.6 million gain from the settlement of the subordinated debentures as a part of the recapitalization. Gains of $205,000 from branch sales and $258,000 from the sale of a limited partnership also benefited noninterest income in 2004.

Service fees on customer accounts have continued to decline over the three year period of 2004 through 2006. In 2005, the Corporation introduced new deposit products which deemphasized fees in order to attract new accounts, which contributed to the decrease in fee income for 2005 and 2006. Service fees as a percentage of average noninterest-bearing deposits for the year ended December 31, 2006, were 2.55%, compared to 2.87% and 4.45% for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Management continually reviews the pricing on its deposit products in relation to competition and alternative sources of funds. Late in 2006, the Corporation introduced an overdraft protection program which should provide increases in deposit service charges for subsequent periods. Management expects to continue to fairly price its fees for services rendered. The Corporation also intends to expand its noninterest revenue from other sources such as secondary mortgage fees.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $12.221 million in 2006, compared to $18.255 million and $18.228 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
In 2006, the Corporation continued efforts to control noninterest expense and was successful in most areas. The Corporation did incur significant expenses relative to the pursuit of a lawsuit against its former accountants. In the pursuit of this case in 2006, the Corporation expensed $.550 million. This case was settled in March 2007 with the Corporation recovering a majority of the legal fees expensed. Additional legal costs incurred by the Bank included a settlement of $.125 million on a loan related issue.
Significant cost reductions were realized in data processing expenses, $1.029 million, and loan and deposit expenses, $.460 million. The reduction in data processing from 2005 to 2006 was due to the one time conversion costs of $.815 million that were incurred in 2005. The expense reductions in loan and deposit expense are in large part due to the FDIC insurance reductions which amounted to $.106 million in 2006 compared to $.321 million expensed in 2005.
The total advertising costs for 2006 included normal promotional and community marketing advertising programs compared to the 2005 expenses which were abnormally high because of the extensive new product introductions and the “mBank” re-branding which occurred. Management expects to be successful in controlling noninterest expense in future periods; however, will increase costs in staffing and facilities when it is determined that such increased costs will be beneficial for revenue enhancement, provide operational efficiencies, or improve customer service.
In 2005, the Corporation, as a part of overall restructuring, incurred significant one-time charges, which included the $4.320 million FHLB prepayment penalty, $.550 million of advertising expenses incurred to promote the new mBank identity, new deposit products, full system conversion costs of $.815 million, and the $.200 million write-down of an other real estate property. The Corporation was also successful in 2005 in significantly reducing accounting, legal, and consulting fees due to increased management expertise and less reliance on external professionals.

Federal Income Taxes
The Corporation recorded an income tax benefit of $500,000 in 2006 compared to no income tax provision in 2005 and expense of $147,000 in 2004. The differences in each year between the tax provision or benefit and the federal corporate income tax rate of 34% are primarily due to permanent and temporary differences between book and taxable income. The 2005 and 2004 tax benefits were reduced by valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets. 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 provision of $147,000 in 2004 was to recognize limitations of the 2003 NOL carryback due to alternative minimum tax. As of December 31, 2006, the Corporation had an NOL carryforward of approximately $32.9 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 $22 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. In 2006, a $500,000 benefit was recognized and a portion of the NOL carryforward was utilized to offset current year tax expense. The deferred tax benefit was recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which allow for recognition when it is “more likely than not” that such benefit will in fact be realized in future periods. The Corporation intends to further evaluate the utilization of the NOL and credit carryforwards in subsequent periods and recognize the related tax benefits when appropriate.
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.
The Bank has $34.210 million of securities, with a weighted average maturity of 34 months. The investment portfolio is intended to provide a source of liquidity to the Corporation with limited interest rate risk. The Corporation also has investments in federal funds sold to correspondent banks, as well as 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 meetings with an outside consultant to review its current 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.

The above analysis indicates that at December 31, 2006, the Corporation had a cumulative liability sensitivity GAP position of $36.811 million within the one-year timeframe. The Corporation’s cumulative liability sensitive GAP suggests that if market interest rates continue to increase in the next twelve months, the Corporation has the potential to earn less net interest income. Conversely, if market interest rates decrease in the next twelve months, the above GAP position suggests the Corporation’s net interest income would increase.
A limitation of the traditional GAP analysis is that it does not consider the timing or magnitude of non-contractual repricing or unexpected prepayments. In addition, the GAP analysis treats savings, NOW and money market accounts as repricing within 90 days, while experience suggests that these categories of deposits are actually comparatively resistant to rate sensitivity.
The borrowings in the table above and on the next page include FHLB advances as fixed-rate advances. These advances actually give the FHLB the option to convert from a fixed-rate advance to an adjustable rate advance with quarterly repricing at three month LIBOR Flat. The exercise of this conversion feature by the FHLB would impact the maturity dates currently assumed in the tables. The Bank, in recognition of the interest rate risk exposure of the FHLB borrowings, prepaid $48.6 million of the borrowings in the first quarter of 2005. This prepayment better positions the Corporation to manage future asset growth through a better matching of asset and liability maturities.
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.
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, 2006, the Corporation had excess Canadian assets of $.273 million (or $.235 million 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
Derivative financial instruments include futures, forwards, interest rate swaps, option contracts and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. The Corporation currently does not enter into futures, forwards, swaps or options. However, the Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and may require collateral from the borrower if deemed necessary by the Corporation. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party up to a stipulated amount and with specified terms and conditions.
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are not recorded as an asset or liability by the Corporation until the instrument is exercised. See Note 22 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.
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 to restate its capital accounts, which requires the approval of the Office of Financial and Insurance Services of the State of Michigan. The Corporation has a $6 million correspondent bank line of credit available for short-term liquidity. This line of credit has an outstanding balance of $1.959 million as of December 31, 2006. 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 position increased in 2006 to provide the level of liquidity needed to support the balance sheet expansion. The Bank’s liquidity is best illustrated by the mix in the Bank’s core and non-core funding dependence ratio, which explain 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 Farmers’ Home Administration borrowings. At December 31, 2006, the Bank’s core deposits in relation to total funding was 57.2% compared to 64.9% in 2005. These ratios indicated at December 31, 2006, 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, 2006, the Bank had $14.875 million of unsecured lines available and another $8.125 million available if secured. The Bank 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 2007 includes strategies to increase core deposits in the Corporation’s local markets. The new deposit products and strategic advertising is expected to aid in efforts of management in growing core deposits to reduce the dependency on non-core deposits, while also reducing interest costs. The Corporation’s liquidity plan for 2007 calls for augmenting local deposit growth efforts with wholesale CD funding, to the extent necessary.

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, 2006, the Corporation and Bank were well capitalized. During 2006, total capitalization increased by $2.202 million.

The Corporation intends to maintain the Bank’s total capital to risk-weighted assets at a minimum of 10.00% in order to qualify for reduced FDIC deposit based insurance.
REGULATORY AFFAIRS
In October 2001, the Bank was notified by the FDIC that it was a “troubled institution” within the meaning of FDIC regulations. As a troubled institution, the Bank is required to notify the FDIC 30 days prior to the addition or replacement of a Board member and the employment or changes in responsibilities of a senior executive officer.
In September 2002, a regularly-scheduled safety and soundness examination of the Bank was conducted by its principal regulators, the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services (“OFIS”), and the FDIC. During the course of that examination, the FDIC, the OFIS, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (“FRB”) requested that the Corporation and the Bank take certain actions, including suspending the payment of dividends and conserving the liquidity of the Corporation. These actions were adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank.
Following the completion of the regularly-scheduled safety and soundness examination of the Bank by the FDIC and the OFIS in November 2002, and the Bank’s receipt of the related Report of Examination (“Report”), the FDIC and the OFIS, with the consent of the Bank, on March 26, 2003, entered a formal order (the “Order”) under Federal and State banking laws. The Order became effective on April 5, 2003, and was to remain in effect until modified or terminated by action of the FDIC and the OFIS. The Order identified deficiencies in the Bank’s policies and procedures for safe and sound operation, including its directorate and management personnel and practices, credit underwriting, credit administration, and policies regarding asset/liability management, liquidity, funds management and investments, and its compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including Regulations O and U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board”), the FDIC Rules and Regulations, and the Michigan Banking Code of 1999. The Order also required the Bank to maintain specified capital ratios during the life of the Order.
On February 8, 2005, the Order was formally removed; however, the Bank entered into an informal agreement which required the Bank to maintain a Tier 1 Capital ratio of at least 8%. Following the completion of the regularly scheduled safety and soundness examination, this informal agreement was removed.
The Bank, in order to pay dividends in future periods will require regulatory approval for a restatement of capital because it currently has negative retained earnings.

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.
