 11  Net Interest Margin/Income  HighlightsInterest rate sensitivity profile of the loan and securities portfolios, in combination with a low cost core deposit base, positions us to benefit from a rising interest rate environment.Net interest income increased in 1Q’17 vs. 4Q’16 due primarily to a 24 basis point increase in the net interest margin as well as a $6.2 million increase in average interest-earning assets.2017 goal is to grow net interest income by approximately 3% over 2016 as average loans increase. Lower projected growth rate in 2017 (vs. 2016) due to expected sale of Mepco earning assets. Starting to see some pressure on deposit rates due to the 0.25% bumps in the target federal funds rate in March 2017 and December 2016.   Net Interest Margin (TE)(%)  Net Interest Income ($ in Millions)  

 12  Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Details  Summary1Q’17 net interest income of $21.466 million, up $1.216 million from 4Q’16. The linked quarter increase was due to a $1.062 million increase in interest income and fees on loans and a $160K increase in interest income on securities and investments. This was partially offset by a $6K increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings. The increase in interest income and fees on loans was partially due to an increase in interest recoveries (net) on previously charged-off or non-accrual loans of $434K and an increase in commercial loan prepayment fees of $252K. These two items increased the average yield on interest earning assets by 12 bps. Two less days in the quarter reduced net interest income by $229K net. The tax equivalent net interest margin (NIM) increased 24 bps (3.69% vs. 3.45%) due to a 25 bps increase in the yield on interest earning assets that was partially offset by a 1 bps increase in the cost of funds (interest expense as a percentage of average interest-earning assets). Average yield on new commercial loans was 5.06% on fixed rate (48.8% of production) and 4.22% on variable rate (51.2% of production); average yield on new retail loans (mortgage and consumer installment) was 4.06%.Loan Portfolio DetailsCommercial loans: Interest income increased $753K due to a $13.0 million increase in average balance and a 39 bps increase in the average yield (4.87% vs. 4.48%) that were partially offset by two less days in the quarter ($195K impact). Interest recoveries (net) and prepayment fees increased by $572K, this increased the average yield by 28 bps. Mortgage loans (includes loans held for sale): Interest income increased $400K due to a $21.5 million increase in average balance and a 12 bps increase in the average yield (4.19% vs. 4.07%) . Interest recoveries (net) increased by $134K, this increased the average yield by 9 bps.Consumer installment loans: Interest income decreased $108K due to an 8 bps decrease in the average yield (4.67% vs. 4.75%), an $83K decrease in average balance and two less days in the quarter ($68K impact). Interest recoveries (net) decreased by $20K, this decreased the average yield by 3 bps.Payment plan receivables: Interest income increased $17K due to a $0.4 million increase in the average balance and a 7 bps increase in the average yield (12.47% vs. 12.40%). Payment plan receivables were classified as held for sale at both 3/31/17 and 12/31/16. Other FactorsSecurities and investments: Interest income increased $160K due to a 20 bps increase in the average TE yield (2.21% vs. 2.01%) that was partially offset by a $28.6 million decrease in average balance, two less days in the quarter ($7K impact) and the adoption of ASU 2017-08 ($31K reduction in interest income). Deposits and borrowings: Interest expense increased $6K due to a $26.5 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities that was partially offset by two less days in the quarter ($41K impact). The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was unchanged (0.49% vs. 0.49%).   Analysis of Linked Quarter Increase 

 13  Non-interest Income  HighlightsDiverse sources of non-interest income which totaled $10.3 million in 1Q’17.1Q’17 total non-interest income represents approximately 32.5% of total revenue (net interest income and non-interest income).Service charges on deposits have recently stabilized after previous longer-term decline.1Q’17 interchange revenue up $0.04 million, or 2.3%, compared to 1Q’16.

 14  Non-interest Expense  HighlightsQ1’17 non-interest expenses totaled $23.6 million (a decrease from 4Q’16 and an increase from 1Q’16).Q1’17 compensation and benefits increased by $2.3 million over Q1’16 due primarily to higher salaries and wages, performance based compensation, payroll taxes and employee benefits costs. 1Q’17 average FTEs up by 64.5 (8.4%) over 1Q’16, with much of the growth (about ¾) related to the mortgage banking expansion. Efficiency ratio: 2017 YTD – 73.3%; 2016 – 73.7%; 2015 – 77.2%; 2014 – 80.3%; and 2013 – 82.6%.Original target for 2017 was total non-interest expenses at $21.6 million to $22.7 million per quarter (with an average at $21.9 million). 1Q’17 total non-interest expenses exceeded expected high end due to compensation and benefits (growth in mortgage-banking and somewhat higher performance based compensation) and delay in Mepco sale (was originally expected to close on 3/7/17).Mepco non-interest expenses totaled $0.7 million for 1Q’17.  Non-interest Expense ($ in Millions) 

  15  Sale of Mepco Finance Corporation  Sale Transaction SummarySigned Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) on December 30, 2016 to sell the business and majority of assets of Mepco Finance Corporation (Mepco) to Seabury Asset Management LLC (Seabury).

 21  2017 Actual Performance vs. Original Outlook  Category  Outlook  Lending  Continued growthGoal of 10 to 11% overall loan growth in 2017, primarily supported by increases in commercial loans, mortgage loans and consumer loans. Expect much of this growth to occur in the last three quarters of 2017. This growth forecast also assumes a stable Michigan economy. 1Q’17 Update: Exceeded expectation. 1Q’17 annualized loan growth of 15.8%.  Net Interest Income  Growth over 2016 despite sale of payment plan receivablesGoal of approximately 3% increase in net interest income over 2016. Pressure on the net interest margin expected to abate. Growth in net interest income in 2017 vs. 2016 due primarily to growth in loans as described above and somewhat higher short-term interest rates. Forecast assumes two 0.25% increases in the federal funds rate (one in mid 3Q’17 and one in early 4Q’17) and long-term rates up slightly over year end 2016 levels. 1Q’17 Update: Exceeded expectation. Increase of 8.6% over 1Q’16.  Provision for Loan Losses  Steady asset quality metricsVery difficult area to forecast. Future provision levels will be particularly sensitive to loan net charge-offs, watch credit levels, loan default volumes, and TDR portfolio performance. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was at 1.26% at 12/31/16. Do not expect credit provision in 2017 due to portfolio loan growth and a decline in recoveries of previously charged-off loans. Quarterly provision (expense) for loan losses of $500K to $600K would not be unreasonable. 1Q’17 Update: $0.4 million credit loan loss provision. Strong asset quality metrics.  Non-interest Income  Forecasted quarterly range of $10.8 million to $11.7 million with total for year up by approximately $2.4 million vs. 2016Expect mortgage-banking revenues and mortgage lending volumes in 2017 to be higher than 2016. Expect service charges on deposits and interchange income in 2017 to be generally comparable to 2016. 1Q’17 Update: Actual non-interest income of $10.3 million in 1Q’17. Below forecasted range due primarily to lower than expected gains on mortgage loans as there was a higher mix of portfolio mortgage loans than expected. However, this lead to higher than expected loan growth.  Non-interest Expense  Forecasted quarterly range of $21.6 to $22.7 million with total for the year down by approximately $2.8 million vs. 2016The expected decrease in non-interest expenses is primarily due to the elimination of $2.6 million of litigation expense and loss on sale of Mepco assets that were incurred in 2016. Decline in expenses associated with the sale of the payment plan processing business (Mepco) is expected to be somewhat offset by higher expenses related to the expansion of mortgage banking operations. 1Q’17 Update: Actual non-interest expenses of $23.6 million (approximately $0.9 million above forecasted high end range). Variance was in compensation and benefits and delay in Mepco sale (expenses for Mepco were expected to end as of 02/28/17).   Income Taxes  Approximately 32% to 32.5% in 2017. This assumes no changes in corporate income tax rates or rules during 2017. 1Q’17 Update: 30.5% actual effective income tax rate. 1Q’17 included a $0.09 million tax benefit related to long-term incentive awards. 

 22   Strategic Initiatives  Balance SheetGenerate quality loan growth with continued focus on commercial and consumer installment lending as well as salable and portfolio mortgage loans.Remain asset sensitive and positioned to benefit from higher interest rates (short duration investment portfolio, large variable rate loan portfolio and strong core deposit base with a significant amount of small to medium balance transaction accounts). Income StatementGenerate increased net interest income through change in earning asset mix (increased loans to deposits ratio and reduced level of investment securities).Increase non-interest income with focus on transaction related revenue (treasury management and debit card) and mortgage banking revenue.Continued selective reductions in certain non-interest expenses (credit related costs, branch optimization, process re-engineering and outsourcing). However, now expect growth in compensation and employee benefits expense and in occupancy expense as mortgage-banking operations are expanded.Improved efficiency ratio: Low 70% range near-term and mid 60% range longer-term. Achieve improvements primarily through revenue growth.Enterprise Risk ManagementSteady asset quality.Meet increased compliance and regulatory requirements.Focus on data security and loss prevention.
