REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Fentura Financial, Inc.
Fenton, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Fentura Financial, Inc. as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fentura Financial, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Fentura Financial, Inc. (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Fentura Holdings LLC (“FHLLC”) and The State Bank (“the Bank”) in Fenton, Michigan; and reported as discontinued operations, Davison State Bank in Davison, Michigan (sold in April 2010) and West Michigan Community Bank in Hudsonville, Michigan (sold in January 2011) and the other subsidiaries of the Banks. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
In 2009, the Corporation entered into an agreement to sell one of its bank subsidiaries, Davison State Bank, to a private, nonaffiliated investor group. This sale closed on April 30, 2010. Additionally, the Corporation entered into an agreement to sell West Michigan Community Bank to a third-party investor group. This sale closed on January 31, 2011. Both subsidiaries are reported as discontinued operations. See Notes 2 and 14 for further discussion.
Financial statements are presented with discontinued operations sequestered on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows. The presentations for 2011 and 2010 reflect the discontinued operations results to the extent applicable (see Note 2).
The Corporation provides banking and trust services principally to individuals, small businesses and governmental entities through its eight community banking offices in Genesee, Livingston, and Oakland Counties in southeastern Michigan. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Commercial real estate loans are 57.8% of total loans and other commercial loans are 16.5% of total loans at December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2010, the loan portfolio was composed as follows: commercial real estate 57.6%, of total loans and commercial loans were 20.2% of total loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. The Corporation’s exposure to credit risk is substantially affected by the economy in the Corporation’s market area and by changes in commercial real estate values. While the loan portfolio is substantially commercial based, the Corporation is not dependent on any single borrower. Other financial instruments which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk in the normal course of business include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.
The principal source of liquidity of the Corporation is dividends from its bank subsidiary and deposits in the subsidiary bank. The Corporation’s access to liquidity from its banking subsidiary is subject to regulatory restrictions, as a result of the Consent Order entered into with various banking regulators further described in Note 15. The Bank is currently subject to restrictions on its ability to make dividend payments without prior regulatory approval. The Corporation currently believes that it has cash on hand to cover its financial obligations and expenses for the foreseeable future and is not reliant on new capital funding to meet such obligations. The Bank’s primary sources of liquidity are deposits that consist of non-maturing and maturing time deposits. At December 31, 2011 maturing time deposits consist of brokered deposits equaling 4.1% of total deposits and other time deposits equaling 28.1% of total deposits. This is compared to December 31, 2010 when maturing time deposits consisted of brokered deposits equaling 8.0% of total deposits and other time deposits equaling 29.7% of total deposits. Details regarding deposits are further described in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, the fair values of securities and other financial instruments, other than temporary impairment of securities, the carrying value of other real estate owned and deferred taxes are particularly subject to change.
Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents, includes cash, deposits with other financial institutions under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions and short-term borrowings.
Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive loss, net of tax.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities, where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.
In determining OTTI management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.
When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoffs are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value, on an aggregate basis and are sold with servicing rights released.
Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired or payments are past due over 90 days (180 days for residential mortgages).
All interest accrued in the current year but not received for loans placed on non-accrual are reversed against current interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segments and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Corporation over the most recent two years. During the fourth quarter of 2011, with guidance from regulators, management refined the methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses. The refinement in methodology was from a rolling twelve quarter evaluation of losses to an eight quarter evaluation. The impact of this refinement in methodology resulted in a reduction in the required allowance for loan losses by approximately $350,000. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and

terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified: commercial, commercial real estate, residential mortgage, installment loans and home equity loans.
A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
Troubled debt restructurings: Under certain circumstances, the Corporation will provide borrowers relief through loan restructurings and modifications. A loan restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties the Corporation grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Restructured loans typically present an elevated level of credit risk as the borrowers are not able to perform according to the original contractual terms. Loans that are reported as TDRs are considered impaired and are measured for impairment as described above.
Other Real Estate Owned and Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.
Bank Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 15 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
Asset impairment: Premises and equipment and other assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value, if lower than carrying amount.
Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
Stock Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options, restricted stock awards issued to employees, and stock appreciation rights based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights, while the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination including the appeals process. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.
The Corporation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. There was no such interest or penalties recorded in 2011 or 2010.
Loan Commitments and Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Earnings (loss) Per Common Share: Basic earnings or loss per common share are net income or net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.
Comprehensive Loss: Comprehensive 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 also recognized as separate components of equity.
Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $25,000 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year-end 2011 and 2010.

Dividend Restrictions: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Corporation or by the Corporation to shareholders. The State Bank has been restricted from dividend payments due to the signing of Consent Order with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Holding Company has been placed under restrictions by the Federal Reserve regarding the declaration or payment of any dividends and the receipt of dividends from the subsidiary Bank (see Note 15).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 13. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Operating Segments: 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 Corporate-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Accounting Standards Updates
ASU No. 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) - Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” ASU 2010-20 requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment. The required disclosures include, among other things, a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. ASU 2010-20 became effective for the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period. Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period became effective for the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements beginning on January 1, 2011.ASU 2011-01, “Receivables (Topic 310) - Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20,” temporarily deferred the effective date for disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings to coincide with the effective date of the then proposedASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) - A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring,” which is further discussed below.
ASU No. 2011-02,“Receivables (Topic 310) - A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” ASU 2011-02 clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings and is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of

recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude, under the guidance clarified by ASU 2011-02, that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 became effective for the Corporation on July 1, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011. This accounting change increased the volume of loans that the Corporation classified as troubled debt restructurings during the year ended December 31, 2011 and required additional disclosures (See Note 5 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses).
ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 amendsTopic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principals and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principals in Topic 820 and requires additional fair value disclosures. ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income.”ASU 2011-05 amends Topic 220,“Comprehensive Income,” to require that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate by consecutive statements. Additionally, ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement or statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity was eliminated. ASU 2011-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.”ASU 2011-11 requires that an entity disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The differences in the offsetting requirements in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) account for a significant difference in the amounts presented in statements of financial position prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in the amounts presented in those statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for certain institutions. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This scope would include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. The effective date for ASU 2011-11 is January 1, 2013, though the Corporation currently does not hold instruments of this type and does not anticipate any impact to the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - CHANGE IN INTENT RELATED TO ASSETS PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED AS DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the third quarter of 2011 management decided the Corporation no longer intended to dispose of the residual assets remaining from the sale of West Michigan Community Bank. As a result of the change in intent, amounts and results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, as well as balance sheet data as of December 31, 2010 have been reclassified to reflect this change in intent. Assets reported as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2010 was reduced by $9,654,000. Commercial loans totaling $664,000, commercial real estate loans of $9,360,000 and residential real estate loans totaling $132,000 were reclassified to continuing operations. Allowance for loan losses, related to these loans, totaling $1,197,000 was also reclassified to continuing operations. Other real estate owned of $665,000 and other assets of $30,000 were also reclassified into continuing operations. Results of operations of discontinued operations for the twelve month periods ended December 30, 2010 was increased by $831,000. This was the result of $459,000 of interest income being reclassified to continuing operations. Continuing operations was also charged $1,173,000 of provision for loan losses as a result of the reclassification. Non interest expense of $78,000 of loan and collection expenses and $44,000 of other expenses were also reclassified into continuing operations. Additionally, $5,000 of tax benefit was moved to continuing operations. The following footnotes to the consolidated financial statements were updated upon the retroactive reclassification of assets held for sale to held for investment as of December 31, 2010: Note 3 - Earnings Per Share; Note 5 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses; Note 6 - Other Real Estate Owned; Note 10 - Income Taxes; Note 13 - Fair Value; and Note 14 - Discontinued Operations.

As of December 31, 2011, the Corporation’s security portfolio consisted of 83 securities, 15 of which were in an unrealized loss position. The majority of unrealized losses are related to the Corporation’s collateralized mortgage obligations - private label as discussed below.
In 2011, the Corporation did not recognize other-than-temporary impairment on the investment portfolio. In 2010, the Corporation recognized other-than-temporary impairments totaling $307,000 on four individual investments. Three of the impairments, totaling $298,000 were recognized on equity securities as a result of analysis of the declining performance of the individual institutions. The fourth totaling $9,000 was on a single collateralized mortgage obligation instrument and was recognized due to the deterioration of the underlying loans.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations
The decline in fair value of the Corporation’s private label collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”s) is primarily attributable to the lack of liquidity and the financial crisis affecting these markets and not necessarily the expected cash flows of the individual securities. The Standard and Poor’s ratings held on the private label securities are AA and A-. The underlying collateral of these CMOs is comprised largely

NOTE 4 - SECURITIES(continued)
of 1-4 family residences. In each of these securities, the Corporation holds the senior tranche and receives payments before other tranches. For private label securities, management completes an analysis to review the recent performance of the mortgage pools underlying the instruments. At December 31, 2011, the private label securities have an amortized cost of $3,725,000 with an unrealized loss of $702,000.
The Corporation has also been closely monitoring the performance of the CMO and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) portfolios. Management continues to monitor items such as payment streams and underlying default rates, and did not determine a significant change in these items. On a quarterly basis, management uses multiple assumptions to project the expected future cash flows of the private label CMO’s with prepayment speeds, projected default rates and loss severity rates. The cash flows are then discounted using the effective rate on the securities determined at acquisition. Recent historical experience is the base for determining the cash flow assumptions and is adjusted when appropriate after considering characteristics of the underlying loans collateralizing the private label CMO securities. As a result of its review in 2010, the Corporation recognized a $9,000 other-than-temporary impairment as a result of incurred credit losses which has been reflected in the income statement. The security with the credit loss was the Corporation’s sole CCC rated security. The Corporation sold this security during the fourth quarter of 2010 and recognized an additional loss of $136,000. In 2011, there was no other-than-temporary impairment recorded.
The Corporation has three agency collateralized mortgage obligations at December 31, 2011 with an unrealized loss of $5,000. The decline in value is primarily due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions.
Equity Securities
The Corporation’s equity investments with unrealized losses are investments in non-public bank holding companies within Michigan. These securities receive a multi-faceted review utilizing call reports and other data. Management reviews such performance indicators as earnings, ROE, ROA, non-performing assets, brokered deposits and capital ratios. Management draws conclusions from this information, as well as any published information or trading activity received from the individual institutions, to assist in determining if any unrealized loss is other than temporary Additionally management considers the length of time the investments have been in an unrealized loss position.
In 2011, no OTTI was indicated following analysis. In 2010 OTTI totaling $298,000 was recognized on the Corporation’s equity securities in bank holding companies. The impairment was recognized as a result of the length of time these securities have been at an unrealized loss position.
Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. In evaluating OTTI, management additionally considers the factors presented in Note 1.

Modifications:
A modification of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Corporation offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan or lease, however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted. Commercial loans modified in a TDR often involve temporary interest-only payments, term extensions, and converting revolving credit lines to term loans. Additional collateral, a co-borrower, or a guarantor is often requested. Commercial real estate loans modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or substituting or adding a new borrower or guarantor. Residential real estate loans modified in a TDR are primarily comprised of loans where monthly payments are lowered to accommodate the borrowers’ financial needs through a reduction of interest rate and/or extension of the maturity date. Installment loans modified in a TDR are primarily comprised of loans where the Corporation has lowered monthly payments by extending the term.

NOTE 5 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOANLOSSES(continued)
Loans modified in a TDR are typically already on non-accrual status and partial charge-offs have in some cases been taken against the outstanding loan balance. As a result, loans modified in a TDR for the Corporation may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan.
As a result of adopting the amendments in ASU No. 2011-02, the Corporation reassessed all loan restructurings that occurred on or after January 1, 2011 for identification as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). The Corporation identified as TDRs certain loans for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for loan losses methodology. Upon identifying these loans as TDRs, the Corporation classified them as impaired. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-02 require retrospective application of the impairment measurement guidance for those loans newly identified as impaired during the period. The Corporation’s recorded investment in TDRs as a result of the guidance set forth in ASU No. 2011-02 is $6,448,000, with a specific valuation allowance of $1,357,000, as of December 31, 2011. This specific valuation is an allocated portion of the total allowance for loan losses.
Modified loans totaled $15,005,000 at December 31, 2011 compared to $6,246,000 at December 31, 2010. The sizeable increase was partially the result of reclassification of loans modified that were not previously reported as modified.
The Corporation allocated $2,289,000 and $1,413,000 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Modified loans are also included with impaired loans. The Corporation has no additional amounts committed to these customers.

Credit Quality Indicators:
The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debts such as: current financial information, historical payment experience; credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Corporation analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Corporation uses the following definitions for classified risk ratings:
Prime. Loans classified as prime are well seasoned borrowers displaying strong financial condition, consistently superior earning performance, and access to a range of financing alternatives. The borrower’s trends and outlook, as well as those of its industry are positive.
Pass. Loans classified as pass have a moderate to average risk to established borrowers that display sound financial condition and operating results. The capacity to service debt is stable and demonstrated at a level consistent with or above the industry norms. Borrower and industry trends and outlook are considered good.
Watch. Loans classified as watch have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful.Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection nor liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The Corporation does not classify loans as doubtful. Loans that approach this status are charged-off.
Based on the most recent analysis performed, the recorded investment by risk category of loans by portfolio class of loans is as follows:

Subordinated Debenture and Trust Preferred Securities
A trust formed by the Corporation issued $12,000,000 of trust preferred securities in 2003 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The interest rate is a floating rate (3 month LIBOR plus 3.00%) and the current rate at December 31, 2011 is 3.25%. The Corporation issued subordinated debentures at the same terms as the trust preferred securities to the trust in exchange for the proceeds of the offering; the debentures and related debt issuance costs represent the sole assets of the trust. The Corporation may redeem the subordinated debentures, in whole but not in part, any time after 2008 at a price of 100% of face value. The subordinated debentures must be redeemed no later than 2033.
A trust formed by the Corporation issued $2,000,000 of trust preferred securities in 2005 as part of a pooled offering of such securities.

NOTE 9 - BORROWINGS(continued)
The Corporation is not considered the primary beneficiary of these trusts, therefore the trusts are not consolidated in the Corporations’ financial statements but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability.
As the subsidiary banks are working to preserve capital and withholding the payment of dividends to the holding company, the Corporation elected in the first quarter of 2009 to defer interest payments for five years on the $14,000,000 of subordinated debentures. The reason for the interest deferral was to maintain liquidity at the holding company and the Bank subsidiary. Accrued interest payable on the subordinated debentures was $1,464,000 at December 31, 2011 compared to $1,027,000 at December 31, 2010. The Corporation is not in default under either of the indentures. During this five year period, the Corporation is precluded from paying dividends on its outstanding common stock. The Corporation subsequently may give notice that it elects to shorten the deferral period, pay accrued interest and return to the normal course of dividend payments.

A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets may not be realized. Management has reviewed the deferred tax position for the Corporation at December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Corporation’s evaluation of taxable events, losses in recent years and the continuing deterioration of the Michigan economy led management to conclude that it was more likely than not that the benefit would not be realized. As a result, the Corporation maintained a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $6,865,000 will expire beginning in 2030 if not previously utilized.
An income tax expense associated with continuing operations in the amount of $52,000 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011. The expense recorded considers the results of current period adjustments to other comprehensive income and discontinued operations. Generally, the calculation for income tax expense (benefit) does not consider the tax effect of changes in other comprehensive income or loss, which is a component of shareholders’ equity on the balance sheet. However, an exception is provided in certain circumstances when there is a pre-tax loss from continuing operations and income from other categories such as other comprehensive income or discontinued operations. In such case, pre-tax income from other categories is included in the tax expense (benefit) calculation for the current period.
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into certain transactions that have uncertain tax consequences. From time to time, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) questions and/or challenges the tax position taken by the Corporation with respect to those transactions. The Corporation believes that its tax
33
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES(continued)
returns were filed based upon applicable statutes, regulations and case law in effect at the time of the transactions. The IRS, an administrative authority of a court, if presented with the transactions, could disagree with the Corporation’s interpretation of the tax law. After evaluating the risks and opportunities, the best outcome may result in a settlement. The ultimate outcome for each position is not known.
At December 31, 2011, amounts payable to the IRS for the settlement of certain tax positions examined by the agency were $193,000. There were no unrecognized or recognized tax benefits recorded in any previously reported periods presented. The increase of $193,000 in amounts recorded for tax positions previously taken from December 31, 2010 was the result of the Corporation’s IRS examination and ultimate settlement. Accrued interest and penalties were not considered to be significant. The Corporation continues to engage in discussions with the IRS related to its ongoing examination for the 2008 and 2009 tax years and based upon current knowledge the Corporation does not believe that it is more likely that not that other positions taken will not be sustained upon ultimate resolution and/or appeal. The Corporation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized or recognized tax benefits to significantly change within the next twelve months. The aforementioned other positions taken would not be expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s effective tax rate in any one reporting period if and when recognized.
Based on current knowledge and probability of assessment of various potential outcomes, the Corporation believes that accrued tax liabilities and the valuation allowance are adequate to absorb the effect, if any, relating to the ultimate resolution of the uncertain tax position in the matter outlined above.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S federal income taxes as well as income tax of the state of Michigan. The Corporation is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2008.
NOTE 11 - BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has a noncontributory discretionary employee stock ownership plan (Plan) covering substantially all of its employees. It is a requirement of the plan to invest principally in the Corporation’s common stock. No contributions were made to the Plan in 2011 or 2010.
The Corporation has also established a 401(k) Plan in which 50% of the employees’ contribution can be matched with a discretionary contribution by the Corporation up to a maximum of 6% of gross wages. In 2009 the Corporation elected to eliminate its contribution to the 401(k) Plan during the first quarter. This election was maintained in 2010 and 2011. Therefore there were no contributions to the plan in 2011 or 2010.
The Corporation entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreements (SERP Agreements) with certain executives. The SERP Agreements are designed to encourage executives to remain long term employees of the Corporation, and to provide specified benefits to certain key executives who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of the Corporation. The retirement benefits are an unsecured obligation of the Corporation. The Corporation and the Affiliate Bank have established other Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation arrangements for employees not covered under the SERP. The arrangements are designed to encourage certain officers to remain long

term employees of the Corporation and the Banks, and to provide the officers with supplemental retirement income. At year end 2011 and 2010, the accumulated liability for these plans totaled $878,731and $671,246. The Corporation’s contributions to the plans in 2011 and 2010 were $323,354 and $112,716, respectively. Certain executive officers are subject to post-employment payments for termination following a change in control.
NOTE 12 - STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION PLANS
Director and Employee Plans
The Directors Stock Purchase Plan permits directors of the Corporation to purchase shares of common stock made available for purchase under the plan at the fair market value on the fifteenth day prior to the annual issuance date. The total number of shares issuable under this plan is limited to 9,600 shares in any calendar year.
The Retainer Stock Plan allows directors to elect to receive shares of common stock in full or partial payment of the director’s retainer fees and fees for attending meetings. The number of shares is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees to be paid in shares by the market value of the stock on the first business day prior to the payment date.
The Executive Stock Bonus Plan permits the administrator of the plan to grant shares of the Corporation’s common stock to eligible employees. Any executive or managerial level employee is eligible to receive grants under the plan. The Board of Directors administers the plan and the numbers of shares issued are at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. No shares were granted under this plan during 2011 or 2010.
Dividend Investment Plan
The Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) permits enrolled shareholders to automatically use dividends paid on common stock to purchase additional shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the fair market value on the investment date. Any shareholder who is the beneficial or record owner of not more than 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation’s common stock is eligible to participate in the plan.
Pursuant to a separate agreement with a family who collectively holds more than 9.9% of the Corporation’s stock on or prior to January 31 of each year beginning January 31, 1997, the Corporation is to advise the family, in a written notice, of the number of shares sold under the DRIP. Each family member will have the option, until February 28 of the same year, to purchase from the Corporation one-third of the total number of shares that would be sufficient to prevent the dilution to all family members as a group that result from the DRIP shares. The purchase price under this agreement is the fair market value on December 31 of the year immediately preceding the year in which the written notice is given. Similarly, a reverse agreement exists which allows the Corporation to redeem family shares to maintain the family ownership percentage in the event that stock repurchase activity more than offsets the shares available because of the DRIP.

Stock Option Plans
The Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan provides for granting options to nonemployee directors to purchase the Corporation’s common stock. The purchase price of the shares is the fair market value at the date of the grant, and there is a three-year vesting period before options may be exercised. Options to acquire no more than 8,131 shares of stock may be granted under the Plan in any calendar year and options to acquire not more than 73,967 shares in the aggregate may be outstanding at any one time. No options were granted in 2011 or 2010.
The Employee Stock Option Plan grants options to eligible employees to purchase the Corporation’s common stock at or above, the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant. Awards granted under this plan are limited to an aggregate of 86,936 shares. The administrator of the plan is a committee of directors. The administrator has the power to determine the number of options to be granted, the exercise price of the options and other terms of the options, subject to consistency with the terms of the Plan. No options were granted in 2011 or 2010.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Corporation’s common stock. The Corporation uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. Shares that are issued upon option exercise come from authorized but unissued shares.

No options were exercised during 2011 or 2010. As of December 31, 2011, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plan.
On February 24, 2011, the Corporation’s board of directors granted 25,000 Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to five executives. The terms of the Stock Appreciation Rights Agreements (the “SAR Agreements”) provide that the SARs will be paid in cash on one or two fixed dates, which are determined as certain performance conditions are met. The conditions include the Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, The State Bank, no longer being subject to terms, conditions and restrictions of the consent order dated December 31, 2009 (the “Consent Order”) and the Corporation no longer being subject to terms, conditions and restrictions of the agreement between the Corporation and the Federal Reserve Board, which was effective November 4, 2010 (the “FRB Agreement”). The first payment date under the agreement is the later of February 24, 2014, the date on which the State Bank is no longer subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Consent Order, and the date on which the Corporation is no longer subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the FRB Agreement. On the first SAR payment date a participant shall receive an amount equal to the product of the number of stock appreciation rights granted and the excess of the fair market value of one share of the Corporation’s common stock over $2.00. If the first SAR payment date does not occur prior to February 24, 2016, then the SARs shall be cancelled without any payment to the participant. If the first SAR payment date occurs prior to February 24, 2016, then the second SAR payment date shall be February 24, 2016. On the second payment date a participant shall receive an amount equal to the number of stock appreciation rights granted and the excess of the fair market value of one share of the Corporation’s common stock on the second SAR payment date over the value of one share of the Corporation’s common stock on the first SAR payment date. If the fair market value of one share of the Corporation’s common stock on the second SAR payment date does not exceed the fair market value of one share of the Corporation’s common stock on the first SAR payment date, then no payment shall be made to the participant on the second SAR payment date. Generally accepted accounting principles require plans settled in cash to be accounted for as liabilities only when the liability is probable and reasonably estimable and to be re-measured at each reporting period. Management has determined that as of December 31, 2011, it is not probable that the performance criteria will be met and as such no liability for the compensatory element of the awards has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 13 - FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values.
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.
Securities Available for Sale:
The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The remaining fair values of securities (Level 3 inputs) are based on the reporting entity’s own assumptions and basic knowledge of market conditions and individual investment performance. The Corporation reviews the performance of the securities that comprise level 3 on a quarterly basis.
Impaired Loans
The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Other Real Estate Owned
Non-recurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available, which results in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Impaired loans, that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral had a carrying amount of $7,105,000, with a valuation allowance of $1,880,000, which did not require additional provision for loan losses at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2010 impaired loans had a carrying amount of $13,081,000, with a valuation allowance of $3,783,000, which resulted in additional provision for loan losses of $711,000.

Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair values.
Securities held to maturity
Fair values for securities held to maturity are based on similar information previously presented for securities available for sale.
Loans held for sale
The fair values of these loans are determined in the aggregate on the basis of existing forward commitments or fair values attributable to similar loans.
FHLB Stock
It was not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 13 - FAIR VALUE(continued)
Loans
For variable rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of other loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.
Accrued interest
The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
Off-balance-sheet instruments
The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material.
Deposits
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The carrying amounts for variable rate, fixed term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar certificates.
Short-term borrowings
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
FHLB advance
Rates currently available for FHLB advances with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of the existing obligation.
Subordinated Debentures
The estimated fair value of the existing subordinated debentures is calculated by comparing a current market rate for the instrument compared to the book rate. The difference between these rates computes the fair value.
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 management’s judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics 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.

NOTE 14 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 28, 2010, at the Annual Shareholder Meeting, a formal announcement was made regarding the signing of a definitive agreement to sell West Michigan Community Bank (“WMCB”). The transaction was consummated on January 31, 2011, and the Corporation received $10,500,000 from the sale of West Michigan Community Bank (a 10% premium over book value). As a condition of the sale, the Corporation assumed certain non-performing assets of West Michigan Community Bank which totaled $9,900,000. The assets were housed in a newly formed real estate holding company subsidiary of the Corporation, FHLLC. In addition, The State Bank assumed $2,900,000 of watch rated credits.
As of July 1, 2011, due to a change in management’s intent of the Corporation, the remaining balances of the assets described above and previously classified as discontinued operations at June 30, 2011 were reclassified to continuing operations; therefore there are no assets or liabilities presented at December 31, 2011. Corresponding amounts also were reclassified for all years presented. See Note 1 for further discussion.
As of April 30, 2010, Davison State Bank (“DSB”) was sold to an independent financial group. As of January 31, 2011, West Michigan Community Bank was sold to a third party investor group.

NOTE 14 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS(continued)
During the first quarter of 2010, the Corporation reversed a previously recorded gross estimated loss of $700,000 related to the sale of Davison State Bank.
NOTE 15 - REGULATORY MATTERS
The Corporation (on a consolidated basis) and its Bank subsidiary are 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. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items that are calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the most recent notifications from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
West Michigan Community Bank was placed under a Consent Order with federal and state banking regulators that contain provisions to foster improvement in West Michigan Community Bank’s earnings, lower non performing loan levels, and increase capital. The Consent Order required West Michigan Community Bank to retain a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of a minimum of 8.0%. As of December 31, 2010, West Michigan Community Bank had a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 7.5% and as such was not in compliance with the Consent Order requirements. As previously mentioned, West Michigan Community Bank was sold on January 31, 2011.
In January 2010, The State Bank entered into a Consent Order with federal and state banking regulators that contain provisions to foster improvement in The State Bank’s earnings, lower nonperforming loan levels, increase capital, and require revisions to various policies. The Consent Order requires The State Bank to maintain a Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio of a minimum of 8.0%. It also requires The State Bank to maintain a total capital to risk weighted asset ratio of 12.0%. At December 31, 2011, The State Bank had a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 8.1% and a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 12.3%.
The Consent Orders restrict the Bank from issuing or renewing brokered deposits. The Consent Orders also restrict dividend payments from The State Bank to the Corporation. The Corporation, the Board of Directors and management continue to work on plans to come into compliance with the Consent Orders. Recent actions included the injection of $900,000 capital into The State Bank on January 31, 2011 resulting from the sale of West Michigan Community Bank. Additional capital injections were made on June 2, 2011 in the amount of $2,862,000 and on July 27, 2011 in the amount of $850,000. These
45
FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 15 - REGULATORY MATTERS(continued)
injections were the result of the sale of non-performing assets from the subsidiary of the Corporation. Following these injections, the Bank has attained capital levels that can be considered well capitalized by regulatory standards. Future non-compliance with Consent Order requirements may cause the Bank to be subject to further enforcement actions by the FDIC.
Effective in November 2010, the Corporation received a notice from The Federal Reserve which defined restrictions being placed upon the holding company. The restrictions include the declaration or payment of any dividends, the receipt of dividends from subsidiary banks, the repayment of any principal or interest on subordinated debentures or Trust Preferred securities, restrictions on debt, any changes in Executive or Senior Management or change in the role of Senior Management. In addition, the notice provided an expectation that the Corporation “maintain sufficient capital” levels.
As illustrated in the table below, at December 31, 2011, the Consolidated Corporation’s total capital to risk weighted assets ratio indicates that it is adequately capitalized. The Corporation’s total capital to risk weighted assets ratio of 10.1% at December 31, 2011 was above the minimum requirement to be adequately capitalized of 8.0%. This is compared to December 31, 2010 when the total capital to risk weighted assets for the Corporation was at 7.8% and was under capitalized. The improvement in capital ratios was largely driven by the sale of West Michigan Community Bank. Despite the improvements and current capital levels, the Corporation continues to be required to obtain written approval prior to payments of any dividends or for any increase or decrease to outstanding debt.
The Corporation’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies.
Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the limitations described above.

Management believes they have responded fully to the provisions of the Consent Order. Non-compliance with Consent Order requirements may cause the bank to be subject to further enforcement actions by the FDIC.
NOTE 16 - LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES
Off-balance-sheet risk
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.
The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk was as follows at year-end:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Corporation posted a net loss of $1,512,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, compared to a net loss of $5,385,000 for the same period in 2010. The improvement in 2011 can be largely attributed to a lower need for provision for loan losses. Net interest income before provision for loan losses, declined $824,000, in 2011. This was due to a decrease of interest income of $2,393,000, while interest expense decreased $1,569,000. The change in interest income and interest expenses were the result of a change in the mix of outstanding balances along with the repricing of both interest bearing assets and interest bearing liabilities. Non-interest income increased in 2011 by $85,000 or 1.8% from the non-interest income in the prior year. Non-interest expense increased by $618,000 or 4.7%. Further details are discussed below.
Standard performance indicators used in the banking industry help management evaluate the Corporation’s performance. Two of these performance indicators are return on average assets and return on average equity. For 2011 and 2010 respectively, the Corporation posted a negative return on average assets of (0.48%) and (1.15%). Negative return on average equity was (9.29%) in 2011 and (28.52%) in 2010. The Corporation’s capital position experienced a decrease in equity of $1,395,000 or 8.7% in 2011. Total assets decreased $125,367,000 in 2011 and decreased $97,851,000 in 2010. The significant decrease in 2011 was the largely the result of the sale of a subsidiary bank during the first quarter of 2011. Diluted loss per share was ($0.65) in 2011 and ($2.37) in 2010. In both 2011 and 2010 loan volume decreased.
The markets in which the Corporation operates continue to be affected by the economic challenges in the State of Michigan. The economic conditions continue to place pressure on its customers and their ability to repay loans. This has driven up the level of troubled assets and has resulted in increased related loan expenses and provision for loan losses. The Corporation continues to monitor troubled assets and the capital levels of the Bank.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, the principal source of income, is the amount of interest income generated by earning assets (principally securities and loans) less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities (largely deposits and other borrowings).
A critical task of management is to price assets and liabilities so that the spread between the interest earned on assets and the interest paid on liabilities is maximized without unacceptable risk. While interest rates on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are subject to market forces, in general, the Corporation can exert more control over deposit costs than earning asset rates. Deposit costs are somewhat limited though due to the timing of repricing of time deposits. Loan products carry either fixed rates of interest or rates tied to market indices which are determined independently. The Corporation sets its own rates on deposits, providing management with some flexibility in determining the timing and proportion of rate changes for the cost of its deposits.
Table 2 summarizes the changes in net interest income resulting from changes in volume and rates for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Net interest income (displayed with consideration of full tax equivalency), average balance sheet amounts, and the corresponding yields for the last three years are shown in Table 3. Tax equivalent net interest income decreased by $958,000 in 2011 or 8.5% and decreased by $662,000 or 5.6% in 2010.

As indicated in Table 3, for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Corporation’s net interest margin was 3.80% compared with 3.77% in 2010. The improvement in 2011 is primarily attributable to stabilization in the loan portfolio as fewer loans were placed into non-accrual status than in the prior year. In addition, the average interest bearing liability rate continued to decrease, as management continued to re-price the core deposit products along with time deposit portfolio as they matured. During 2011, the yield on interest bearing liabilities decreased more significantly than the yield on interest earning assets.
Average earning assets decreased 6.4% in 2011 and decreased 10.3% in 2010. Average earning assets were reduced through lower total loans and federal funds sold when comparing 2011 to 2010, offset by increases in securities. Loan balances, including loans held for sale, the highest yielding component of earning assets, represent 75.2% of earning assets in 2011, compared to 78.9% in 2010. Average interest bearing liabilities decreased 11.3% in 2011 and decreased 13.2% in 2010. Non-interest bearing deposits amounted to 22.8% of average earning assets in 2011 compared with 19.2% in 2010.

ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Corporation maintains formal policies and procedures to control and monitor credit risk. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 was appropriate to provide for probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. While the Corporation’s loan portfolio has no significant concentrations in any one industry or any exposure in foreign loans, the loan portfolio has a concentration connected with commercial real estate loans. Specific strategies have been deployed to reduce the concentration levels and limit exposure to this type of lending in the future. The Michigan economy, employment levels and other economic conditions in the Corporation’s local markets may have a significant impact on the level of credit losses. Management continues to identify and devote attention to credits that are not performing as agreed. Of course, deterioration of economic conditions could have an impact on the Corporation’s credit quality, which could impact the need for greater provision for loan losses and the level of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans. Non-performing loans are discussed further in the section titled “Non-Performing Assets.”
The allowance for loan losses reflects management’s judgment as to the level considered appropriate to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The Corporation’s methodology in determining the appropriateness of the allowance is based on ongoing quarterly assessments and relies on several key elements, which include specific allowances for identified problem loans and a formula based risk allocated allowance for the remainder of the portfolio. This includes a review of individual loans, size and composition of the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, current economic conditions, financial condition of borrowers, the level and composition of non-performing loans, portfolio trends; estimated net charge-offs, and other pertinent factors. Although reserves have been allocated to various portfolio segments, the allowance is general in nature and is available for the portfolio in its entirety.
While the allowance for loan losses has decreased, the funds provided remain historically higher as a result of continued weaknesses in the national and local economies, elevated amounts of non-performing loans and elevated charge-off levels over the past four years. Following directives of regulators, the Bank refined its methodology from a rolling twelve to a rolling eight quarter calculation of historical charge off experience. These eight quarters are considered when calculating the current required level for the general reserve component of the allowance for loan losses. The amount of the allowance for loan losses specifically allocated to impaired loans decreased by $3,290,000 during 2011 as a result of charge offs incurred on loans for which specific allocations were previously recorded. The impact of the refinement in the calculation from a twelve to an eight quarter historical charge off experience reduced the required reserve by approximately $350,000.
At December 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $8,164,000 or 3.97% of total loans. This compares with $11,224,000 or 5.15% at December 31, 2010, which represents a decrease of $3,060,000 during 2011. The recorded investment in impaired loan levels decreased $5,322,000 when comparing amounts outstanding at December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2010. Net charge-offs increased $533,000 during 2011 when compared to 2010. A previously discussed, a majority of the charge-offs in 2011 relate to loans for which specific allocations were recorded at December 31, 2010.
The provision for loan losses was $3,142,000 in 2011 and $8,107,000 in 2010. Provision for 2011 decreased from the 2010 level by $4,965,000. Continuing declines in appraised values of properties in Michigan along with additional loans migrating to watch status due to economic conditions, have contributed to the ongoing elevated level of provision for loan losses compared to historical levels. The amount of provision recorded for the year is a direct output of the calculation of loan loss appropriateness performed on a quarterly basis. The application of historical loss rates to the current portfolio has the potential to be a lagging indicator and management evaluates whether these allocations should be adjusted. While there are indications that asset quality is improving, uncertain current economic
55
conditions justify the use of high historical loss rates in estimating the required level of allowance for loan losses. The Corporation has a methodology that provides for formula based allowances on homogeneous pools of general loans, as well as specific allocations for impaired loans. During 2011 specific reserves for impaired loans decreased compared to 2010. Reserves for the homogeneous pools of loans increased from 2010 to 2011. The Bank experienced gross charge-offs of impaired assets of $6,613,000 in 2011, compared to $6,590,000 in 2010. Charge-offs of commercial real estate loans totaled $6,044,000 in 2011 compared to $5,276,000 in 2010.
In 2011, the Corporation reduced the size of the commercial loan portfolio. Commercial loans decreased $10,101,000 from 2010 year end. Commercial real estate loans decreased $10,688,000, while residential real estate loans increased $7,580,000 from year end 2010. The decline in commercial real estate loans was primarily due to management efforts to continue to reduce exposure to this sector. The growth in residential real estate was to increase earning assets utilizing short-term adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans. The ARM loans are anticipated to mitigate interest rate risk due to their short term nature. Impaired loans decreased $12,643,000 in 2011 when compared to 2010.
Table 4 summarizes loan losses and recoveries from 2007 through 2011. During 2011, the Corporation experienced net charge-offs of $6,202,000, compared with net charge-offs of $5,669,000 in 2010. The year to year increase in charge offs was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loan charge offs by $768,000 year over year. The increase in charge offs is a reflection of the market value of real estate in Michigan. Commercial loan charge offs decreased $226,000, mortgage loan charge offs decreased by $314,000, installment loan charge offs increased $8,000 and home equity charge offs decreased by $213,000. Total recoveries decreased by $510,000 comparing 2011 with 2010. The net charge-off ratio is the difference of charged off loans minus the recoveries from loans divided by gross loans. Accordingly, the net charge-off ratio for 2011 was 3.01% compared to 2.60% for 2010.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income was $4,858,000 in 2011 and $4,773,000 in 2010. The change represents an increase of 1.8% when comparing 2011 to 2010. The Corporation experienced decreases in service charges collected, and gain on sale of mortgages. A component of the change was that the Corporation recorded a loss on equity investment of $307,000, in 2010, which did not occur in 2011. In addition, in the third quarter of 2011, the Bank sold a former retail office location and accordingly recorded a gain on sale of $350,000.
Service charges on deposit accounts were 23.8% of non-interest income. The fees from service charges were $1,157,000 in 2011, compared to $1,445,000 in 2010. This was a decrease of $288,000 or 19.9% in 2011. The decrease in 2011 was in all categories of service charges, with the largest declining component being NSF charges collected.
Gain on the sale of mortgage loans originated by the Bank and sold in the secondary market were $348,000 in 2011 and $701,000 in 2010. The decrease of 50.4% in 2011 is due to the slowing of refinancing activity, along with lower volumes of customers eligible for refinancing and new mortgages. Management believes in the near term future mortgage income will remain relatively flat. The Corporation sells the majority of the mortgage loans originated in the secondary market on a servicing released basis.
Trust, investment and financial planning services income increased $45,000 or 4.9% in 2011 compared to 2010. The increase is attributable to favorable changes in market value, which resulted in higher fee income.
Other income and fees includes income from the sale of checks, safe deposit box rent, merchant account income, ATM income, and other miscellaneous income items. Other income and fees were $2,038,000 for 2011, compared to $1,968,000 in 2010. The increase of $70,000 or 3.6% consists of decreased interchange income from debit cards offset by increases in income related to providing support services to other banks. During 2010, the Bank recognized impairment of $307,000 on one bank stock. This did not recur in 2011.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Total non-interest expense was $13,827,000 in 2011 compared to $13,209,000 in 2010. This was a increase of 4.7% in 2011.
Salaries and employee benefits, the Corporation’s largest operating expense category, were $6,763,000 in 2011, compared with $6,387,000 in 2010. This is an increase of $376,000 or 5.9%. The increase is related to pension accruals associated with an early retirement of an executive officer, along with increases in benefits cost.
Occupancy expenses associated with the Corporation’s facilities were $1,117,000 in 2011 compared to $1,225,000 in 2010 for a decrease of 8.8%. Decreases of occupancy expenses were in property insurance, depreciation, utility costs and reductions in building repairs and maintenance, primarily due to lower snow removal costs in 2011.
In 2011, equipment expenses were $1,042,000 compared to $1,265,000 in 2010 for a decrease of 17.6% in 2011. In 2011, the Corporation experienced a decrease of $94,000 in depreciation expense. In addition rental expenses were down $71,000, and maintenance expenses were down $70,000.
Loan and collection expenses were $1,217,000 in 2011 compared to $1,357,000 in 2010. In 2011, ORE carrying costs and related expenses remained relatively flat and totaled $514,000 compared to $546,000
57
for 2010. Multiple properties being held in ORE required negative valuation adjustments totaling $480,000 in 2011 compared to $651,000 in 2010. These adjustments were made as a result of the continuing decline in real estate values in Michigan. The decrease in loan and collection expenses is the result of the decreased ORE carrying costs and decreased valuation adjustments. Other components of loan and collection expenses increased; including filing and recording costs, appraisal expense, collection expenses and other loan related expenses. It is anticipated that in 2012, loan and collection expenses will remain similar to 2011or have a slight decline.
Advertising expenses were $129,000 in 2011 compared to $101,000 in 2010. This is an increase of 27.7%. The Corporation has resumed advertising campaigns with the goal of attracting new customers for lending and deposit products, while also strengthening our presence in local communities through sponsorships of community events.
Other professional service fees include audit fees, consulting fees, legal fees, and various other professional services. Other professional services were $1,165,000 in 2011 compared to $338,000 in 2010. In 2011, the Corporation and the Bank had increases of $292,000 of legal expenses, related to general business matters. The Corporation had increases totaling $75,000 of audit and state exam fees during 2011, as well as increases totaling $27,000 in other professional services.
Other general and administrative expenses, including telephone and communication services, were $2,157,000 in 2011, a decrease of 5.8%, compared to $2,289,000 in 2010. Increases were in expenses such as operating insurances, other losses and other operating expenses. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in the FDIC assessment of $601,000 or 56.5% from 2010 to 2011. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Bank paid $250,000 for the settlement of legal proceedings.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Proper management of the volume and composition of the Corporation’s earning assets and funding sources is essential for ensuring strong and consistent earnings performance, maintaining adequate liquidity and limiting exposure to risks caused by changing market conditions. The Corporation’s securities portfolio is structured to provide a source of liquidity through maturities and to generate an income stream with relatively low levels of principal risk. The Corporation does not engage in securities trading. Loans comprise the largest component of earning assets and are the Corporation’s highest yielding assets. Client deposits are the primary source of funding for earning assets while short-term debt and other sources of funds could be utilized if market conditions and liquidity needs change.
The Corporation’s total assets averaged $314,600,000 for 2011 declining from the 2010 average of $470,139,000 by $155,539,000 or 33.1%. Average loans comprised 75.0% of total average earning assets during 2011 compared to 78.9% in 2010. Loans declined $24,100,000, on average, from year end 2010 to year end 2011, with commercial loans having the largest decline of $20,104,000 or 11.7%. The ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 22.8% in 2011 compared to 18.9% in 2010. Interest bearing deposits comprised 93.2% of total average interest bearing liabilities during 2011, down from 93.9% during 2010. This was primarily due to the decrease in interest bearing checking accounts and time deposits. The Corporation’s year-end total assets were $298,861,000 for 2011 down from $424,228,000 in 2010. The decrease of average assets and period end assets was mainly due to the sale of a subsidiary bank during 2011 along with the ongoing strategic shrinkage of the loan portfolio.
SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
Securities of continuing operations totaled $61,650,000 at December 31, 2011 compared to $46,225,000 at December 31, 2010. This was an increase of $15,425,000 or 33.4%. At December 31, 2011, these securities comprised 23.0% of earning assets, up from 16.7% at December 31, 2010. The Corporation’s present policies, with respect to the classification of securities, are discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Corporation considers all of its securities as available for sale except for Michigan tax-exempt securities which are classified as held to maturity.
58
As of December 31, 2011, the estimated aggregate fair value of the Corporation’s securities portfolio was $126,000 above amortized cost. At December 31, 2011, gross unrealized gains were $982,000 and gross unrealized losses were $856,000. A summary of estimated fair values and unrealized gains and losses for the major components of the securities portfolio is provided in Item 1 of the Form 10-K. As of year end 2011, the Corporation continues to receive a favorable rate of return on the securities.
With regard to equity investments held by the Corporation, management regularly reviews the performance of each institution that is not publicly traded. The majority of the equity securities are investments in Michigan bank holding companies. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the Corporation’s investment in these equity securities. Management reviews current market prices on publicly traded equity securities and compares the current price to the book price. Any difference is adjusted as a temporary valuation difference, unless other resources provide other information. Equity securities that are not publicly traded receive a multi-faceted review utilizing call report data. Management reviews such performance indicators as earnings, ROE, ROA, non-performing assets, brokered deposits and capital ratios. Management draws conclusions from this information, as well as any published information or trading activity received from the individual institutions, to assist in determining if any unrealized loss is other than temporary impairment. As a result of the September 30, 2010 review, OTTI totaling $298,000 was recognized during the quarter on the Corporation’s equity securities in bank holding companies. The impairment was recognized as a result of the length of time these securities had been at an unrealized loss position. There was no impairment recognized in 2011.
The Corporation has also been closely monitoring the performance of the CMO and MBS portfolios. In 2009, there were multiple CMOs that were downgraded in the market. Management continued to monitor items such as payment streams and underlying default rates, and did not determine a severe change in these items. On a quarterly basis, management uses multiple assumptions to project the expected future cash flows of the private label CMOs with prepayment speeds, projected default rates and loss severity rates. The cash flows are then discounted using the effective rate on the securities determined at acquisition. Recent historical experience is the base for determining the cash flow assumptions and is adjusted when appropriate after considering characteristics of the underlying loans collateralizing the private label CMO security. At December 31, 2011, management has concluded that the CMO and MBS portfolios hold only temporary impairment and do not require write downs.

LOAN PORTFOLIO
The Corporation extends credit primarily within in its local markets in Genesee, Oakland, and Livingston, counties. The Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio is widely diversified but includes a concentration in commercial real estate, as discussed previously and in the following paragraph. The Corporation’s loan portfolio balances are summarized in Table 6.
Total loans of continuing operations decreased $12,364,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, with total loans comprising 76.9% of earning assets as compared to 82.2% of December 31, 2010 earning assets. The economic challenges experienced in the State of Michigan that began in 2007 have continued to linger through 2011. Continued employment and economic declines, primarily in the automotive industry, contributed to heightened unemployment rates and a declining population. With these burdening challenges as well as by management strategy, the Corporation achieved a reduction in commercial loans during the year. In 2011, commercial loans decreased $10,101,000 or 22.9% to $33,956,000. Commercial real estate decreased by $6,688,000 or 5.3% in 2011, as management focused efforts on reducing the concentration. Residential real estate loans increased $7,580,000 or 39.4%. Consumer loans decreased $3,155,000 or 10.8% in 2011.

The Corporation originates primarily residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial, construction, and consumer loans. The Corporation estimates that the majority of the loan portfolio is based in Genesee, Oakland and Livingston counties within southeast Michigan. The ability of the Corporation’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the general economic conditions in the markets we serve.

Credit risk is managed via specific credit approvals and monitoring procedures. Management has implemented conservative lending guidelines in terms of loan-to-value (LTV) ratios and has implemented limits regarding the concentration of loan types. The Corporation’s outside loan review function examines the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis for compliance with credit policies and to assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio. These procedures provide management with information on an ongoing basis for setting appropriate direction and taking corrective action as needed.
The Corporation closely monitors its commercial loan portfolio. Commercial loans totaling $33,956,000 comprised 16.5% of total loans at December 31, 2011, compared to $44,057,000 or 20.2% of total loans at December 31, 2010. Commercial real estate loans at December 31, 2011, which comprised 57.8% of total loans, totaled $118,984,000 as compared to $125,672,000 or 57.6% of total loans at the end of 2010.
The commercial and commercial real estate loan properties are located principally in the Corporation’s local markets. Included are loans to various individual, industrial, commercial, professional and small business borrowers. The Corporation believes that the portfolio is reasonably well diversified.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
Non-performing assets include loans on which interest accruals have ceased, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, loans that have been renegotiated, and real estate acquired through foreclosure (ORE) or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
Total non-performing assets decreased $2,363,000 at December 31, 2011 as compared to 2010. Other Real Estate Owned decreased $1,458,000 in 2011. Other Real Estate owned totaled $1,949,000 at December 31, 2011. Other Real Estate in Redemption decreased to $223,000 at the end of 2011 from $1,632,000 at the end of 2010. The Other Real Estate Owned in Redemption balance is comprised of three commercial and one residential property. Non-performing loans decreased by $2,680,000 at December 31, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010. Modified loans increased $8,759,000 to $15,005,000 at December 31, 2011 compared to $6,246,000 at December 31, 2010. Modified loans presented in Table 9 are comprised of loans which have performed since modification and have been returned to accrual status. Included in non-accrual loans, at December 31, 2011 are $ 8,128,000 of modified loans which have not been returned to accrual status and at December 31, 2010 $ 2,553,000 of modified loans are included in non-accrual loans. Modified loans are loans for which concessions have been granted to the borrower based on their individual financial situation. These concessions may include modifications to the interest rate, term of the loan or forgiveness of principal or interest. Loans past due over 90 days and still accruing interest increased $355,000 during this period. Non-accrual loans decreased $3,035,000 when comparing December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2010.
The level and composition of non-performing assets are both affected by economic conditions in the Corporation’s local markets. Non-performing assets, charge-offs, and provisions for loan losses tend to decline in a strong economy and increase in a weak economy, thereby impacting the Corporation’s
62
operating results. In addition to non-performing loans, management carefully monitors other credits that are current in terms of principal and interest payments but, in management’s opinion, may deteriorate in quality if economic conditions change.
Certain portions of the Corporation’s non-performing loans are considered impaired. The Corporation measures impairment on all large balance non-accrual commercial loans. Certain large balance accruing loans rated watch or monitor are also analyzed for possible impairment. Impairment losses are believed to be appropriately covered by the allowance for loan losses.
The Corporation maintains policies and procedures to identify and monitor non-accrual loans. A loan is placed on non-accrual when there is doubt regarding collection of principal or interest, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more. Accrued but uncollected interest is reversed against income for the current quarter when a loan is placed on non-accrual. At December 31, 2011, there were $488,000 of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. Management is not aware of any qualifying loans that have not been moved to non-accrual or not been reclassified to troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2011. The potential, however, remains that a borrower may become financially distressed in the future and management may place that loan into non-accrual, but this is difficult to predict.

As discussed earlier under “Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses,” the Corporation has a methodology that provides for formula based allowances as well as specific allocations for impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when management determines it is probable that the principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected. In most instances, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impairment may also be measured based on
63
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Interest income on impaired non-accrual loans is recognized on a cash basis. Interest income on all other impaired loans is recorded on an accrual basis.
The Corporation maintains policies and procedures to identify and monitor non-accrual loans. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when there is doubt regarding collection of principal or interest, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more. Interest accrued but not collected is reversed against income for the current quarter when the loan is placed on non-accrual status.
Table 10 reflects the allocation of the allowance for loan losses and is based upon ranges of estimates and is not intended to imply either limitations on the usage of the allowance or precision of the specific amounts. The entire allowance is available to absorb any future losses without regard to the category or categories in which the charged-off loans are classified. Table 10 also reflects the percentage ratio of outstanding loans by category to total loans at the end of each of the respective years.

As discussed earlier under “Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses,” the Corporation has a methodology that provides for formula based allowances as well as specific allocations for impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when management determines it is probable that the principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected. In most instances, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impairment may also be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Interest income on impaired non-accrual loans is recognized on a cash basis. Interest income on all other impaired loans is recorded on an accrual basis.
The Corporation’s non-performing loans included in Table 9 are considered impaired. The Corporation measures impairment on all large balance non-accrual commercial loans. Certain large balance accruing loans rated watch or lower are also measured for impairment. Impairment losses are believed to be adequately covered by the provision for loan losses. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and include certain smaller balance commercial loans, consumer loans, and residential real estate loans, and are not included in the impaired loan data in the following paragraphs.
Impaired loans, that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral had a carrying amount of $7,105,000, with a valuation allowance of $1,880,000, which did not require additional provision for loan losses at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2010 impaired loans had a carrying amount of $13,081,000, with a valuation allowance of $3,783,000, which resulted in additional provision for loan losses of $711,000.
64
The Corporation maintains policies and procedures to identify and monitor non-accrual loans. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when there is doubt regarding collection of principal or interest, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more. Interest accrued but not collected is reversed against income for the current quarter when the loan is placed on non-accrual status.
The Corporation’s average deposit balances, of continuing operations, and rates for the past five years are summarized in Table 11. Total average deposits were 7.7% lower in 2011 as compared to 2010. In 2011, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $6,206,000 and savings deposits increased $3,844,000. The remaining categories of deposits experienced declining averages in 2011. During 2011, there was a change in the mix of average deposit composition. For 2011, interest-bearing demand average deposits comprised 17.3% of total average deposits, savings average deposits comprised 25.3% of total average deposits, and time average deposits comprised 34.7% of total average deposits. This is compared to interest-bearing average deposits which were 16.7% of total average deposits, average savings deposits were 22.0% of total average deposits and time deposit average deposits comprised 42.4% of total average deposits for 2010.

Brokered deposits, included in time deposits, totaled $11,015,000 and $21,995,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, brokered deposits had interest rates ranging from 4.90% to 5.25% and 4.90% to 5.30%, respectively, and maturities ranging from four months to ten months. Brokered deposits mature in 2012 as follows: $5,000,000 in April, $3,000,000 in August, and $2,990,000 in October, plus accrued interest of $25,000 at December 31, 2011.
The State Bank is considered adequately capitalized at December 31, 2011, and is precluded, under prompt corrective action guidelines, from issuing or renewing brokered deposits. Management anticipates repayment of brokered deposits as they mature. These repayments are anticipated to be made from fed funds and the Bank’s local deposits.
As of December 31, 2011, certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more accounted for approximately 13.1% of total deposits compared to 16.4% at December 31, 2010. The maturities of these deposits are summarized in Table 12.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Corporation’s effective tax rate, of continuing operations, was 1.69% for 2011 and 0.43% for 2010. The principal difference between the effective tax rates and the statutory tax rate of 34% is the Corporation’s investments in certain tax-exempt securities and loans as well as its valuation allowance against its tax assets.
During 2011 and 2010, the Corporation evaluated its deferred tax position. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In 2009, the Corporation’s evaluation of taxable events and the losses in recent years led management to conclude that it was more likely than not that all or part of the benefit would not be realized. As a result, during the second quarter of 2009, the Corporation recognized a valuation allowance. A full valuation allowance is recorded at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Additional information relating to federal income taxes is included in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
Asset/Liability management is designed to assure liquidity and reduce interest rate risks. The goal in managing interest rate risk is to maintain a strong and relatively stable net interest margin. It is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO) to set policy guidelines and to establish short-term and long-term strategies with respect to interest rate exposure and balance sheet liquidity. The ALCO, which is comprised of key members of management, meets regularly to review financial performance and soundness, including interest rate risk and liquidity in relation to present and prospective markets and business conditions. Accordingly, the committee adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to maximize earnings, maintain liquidity, and achieve balance sheet composition objectives.
Liquidity maintenance together with a solid capital base and strong earnings performance are key objectives of the Corporation. The Corporation’s liquidity is derived from a strong deposit base comprised of individual and business deposits. Deposit accounts of customers in the mature market represent a substantial portion of deposits of individuals. The Bank’s deposit base plus other funding sources (federal funds purchased, short-term borrowings, FHLB advances, other liabilities and shareholders’ equity) provided primarily all funding needs in 2011. While these sources of funds are expected to continue to be available to provide funds in the future, the mix and availability of funds will depend upon future economic conditions. The Corporation does not foresee any difficulty in meeting its funding requirements.
A source of liquidity that is no longer available to the Bank is brokered deposits. Brokered deposits totaled approximately $11,015,000 and $21,995,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010. As The State Bank
66
is considered adequately capitalized at December 31, 2011, it is precluded, under prompt corrective action guidelines, from issuing or renewing brokered deposits. Management anticipates repayment of brokered deposits as they mature using fed funds and the Bank’s local deposits.
Primary liquidity is provided through short-term investments or borrowings (including federal funds sold and purchased), while the security portfolio provides secondary liquidity along with FHLB advances. As of December 31, 2011, the Corporation did not have federal funds sold as compared to $21,900,000 federal funds sold at the end of 2010. In 2011, loan total balances declined $12,364,000, while deposit balances decreased $10,096,000. The difference of $2,268,000 along with prior excess liquidity was placed into the investment portfolio to enhance earnings. The Corporation regularly monitors liquidity to ensure adequate cash flows to cover unanticipated reductions in the availability of funding sources.
In April 2009, the Corporation, in order to maintain liquidity at the holding company, provided notice to each of The Bank of New York and Wilmington Trust Company, the trustees of the Corporation’s junior subordinated debt securities due 2033 (“Fentura Trust I”), and junior subordinated debt securities due 2035 (“Fentura Trust II”), respectively, that the Corporation was exercising its right to defer interest payments for each of the interest payment dates of June 15, 2009, as to the Fentura Trust I, and May 23, 2009, as to the Fentura Trust II to June 15, 2014 and May 23, 2014, respectively, unless the Corporation subsequently gives notice that it has elected to shorten such deferral period. The Corporation has the ability under each of the trust indentures to defer interest payments for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods (five years), so long as the Corporation is not in default, as defined in the respective indentures. The Corporation is not in default under either of the indentures. Interest on the debt securities continues to accrue during the deferral period and interest on the deferred interest also accrues, both of which must be paid at the end of the deferral period. The total then-estimated annual interest that was payable on the debt securities, if not deferred, was approximately $1,464,000, based on variable rates at the time of deferral. The management of the holding company liquidity position remains stable as the operating expenses of the holding company are minimal.
Interest rate risk is managed by controlling and limiting the level of earnings volatility arising from rate movements. The Corporation regularly performs reviews and analyses of those factors impacting interest rate risk. Factors include maturity and re-pricing frequency of balance sheet components, impact of rate changes on interest margin and prepayment speeds, market value impacts of rate changes, and other issues. Both actual and projected performance, are reviewed, analyzed, and compared to policy and objectives to assure present and future financial viability.
The Corporation used cash flows in financing activities resulting primarily from the outflow of time deposits. In 2011, total deposits decreased $10,096,000. Cash provided by investing activities was $84,850,000 in 2011 compared to $45,571,000 in 2010. The change in investing activities was due to the sale of a subsidiary bank. A continued decrease in loan volume from 2010 to 2011, which was management’s strategy, also played a key role in the change in investing activities. Sales of other real estate owned decreased $1,254,000 when comparing 2011 to 2010.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management closely monitors capital levels to provide for current and future business needs and to comply with regulatory requirements. Regulations prescribed under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 have defined “well capitalized” institutions as those having total risk-based ratios, tier 1 risk-based capital ratios and tier 1 leverage ratios of at least 10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively. At December 31, 2011 the subsidiary Bank maintained adequately capitalized leverage requirements as defined by federal law.
67
At December 31, 2011, the Corporation’s tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 8.8% and 10.1%, respectively, compared with 6.5% and 7.8% in 2010. The Corporation’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.5% at December 31, 2011 compared with 4.9% at December 31, 2010. Although the Corporation experienced a decline in equity from year to year, the Corporation was also able to reduce the size of the balance sheet and improve risk-based ratios over last year, primarily due to the sale of subsidiary Banks during 2010 and 2011.
Total shareholders’ equity declined 8.7% to $14,660,000 at December 31, 2011, compared with $16,055,000 at December 31, 2010. The decrease in equity in 2011 resulted from negative earnings. The Corporation did not pay dividends in either 2010 or 2011 in order to conserve capital. The Corporation’s equity to asset ratio was 4.9% at December 31, 2011, compared to 3.8% at December 31, 2010.
Additional information regarding the capital levels of the Corporation and the Bank is in Note 15 to the Financial Statements, for a discussion of capital requirements imposed by regulatory agreements.
REGULATORY ORDERS
In January 2010, The State Bank entered into a Consent Order with federal and state banking regulators that contain provisions to foster improvement in The State Bank’s earnings, lower nonperforming loan levels, increase capital, and require revisions to various policies. The Consent Order requires The State Bank to maintain a Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio of a minimum of 8.0%. It also requires The State Bank to maintain a total capital to risk weighted asset ratio of 12.0%. At December 31, 2011, The State Bank had a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 8.1% and a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 12.3%.
The Consent Order restricts the Bank from issuing or renewing brokered deposits. The Consent Order also restricts dividend payments from The State Bank to the Corporation. The Corporation, the Board of Directors and management continue to execute initiatives to comply with the Consent Order. Recent actions included the injection of capital into The State Bank resulting from the sale of West Michigan Community Bank. On January 31, 2011, $900,000 of capital was injected into The State Bank. Additional capital injections were made on June 2, 2011 in the amount of $2,862,000 and on July 27, 2011 in the amount of $850,000. These injections were the result of the sale of non-performing assets from the subsidiary of the Corporation. Following these injections, the Bank has attained capital levels that can be considered well capitalized by regulatory standards. Future non-compliance with Consent Order requirements would cause the Bank to be subject to further enforcement actions by the FDIC.
Effective in November 2010, the Corporation received a notice from The Federal Reserve which defined restrictions being placed upon the holding company. The restrictions include the declaration or payment of any dividends, the receipt of dividends from subsidiary banks, the repayment of any principal or interest on subordinated debentures or Trust Preferred securities, restrictions on debt, any changes in Executive or Senior Management or change in the role of Senior Management. In addition, the notice provided an expectation that the Corporation “maintain sufficient capital” levels. The board of directors and management continue to execute and monitor initiatives to comply with Federal Reserve restrictions.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, ORE, securities valuation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
68
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level we believe is appropriate to absorb probable losses identified and inherent in the loan portfolio. Our evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, assessments of the impact of current and anticipated economic conditions on the portfolio, and historical loss experience. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate, but significant downturns in circumstances relating to loan quality or economic conditions could result in a requirement for an increased allowance for loan losses in the future. Likewise, an upturn in loan quality or improved economic conditions may result in a decline in the required allowance for loan losses. In either instance unanticipated changes could have a significant impact on operating earnings.
The allowance for loan losses is increased through a provision charged to operating expense. Uncollectible loans are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added to the allowance for loan losses. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that contractual interest and principal payments will not be collected either for the amounts or by the dates as scheduled in the loan agreement.
A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. The Corporation’s evaluation of taxable events, losses in recent years and the continuing deterioration of the Michigan economy led management to conclude that it was more likely than not that all or part of the benefit would not be realized. The valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets may be reversed to income in future periods to the extent that the deferred income tax assets are realized or the valuation allowance is otherwise no longer required. Management will continue to monitor our deferred tax assets quarterly for changes affecting their realizability.
Other Real Estate Owned and Foreclosed Assets are acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure. They are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed. See Note 6 to the financial statements for additional information regarding other real estate owned.
The Corporation evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. In determining other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ITEMS
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same
69
credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment. The amounts of commitments are included in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Fentura Financial, Inc. faces market risk to the extent that both earnings and the fair value of its financial instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. The Corporation manages this risk with static GAP analysis and has begun simulation modeling. Throughout 2011 the results of these measurement techniques were within the Corporation’s policy guidelines. The Corporation does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature of the Corporation’s substantially influenced market risk exposures, including the categories of market risk to which the Corporation is exposed and the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to the Corporation, or in how those exposures were managed in 2011 compared to 2010.
The Corporation’s market risk exposure is mainly comprised of its vulnerability to interest rate risk. Prevailing interest rates and interest rate relationships in the future will be primarily determined by market factors, which are outside of the Corporation’s control. All information provided in this section consists of forward-looking statements. Reference is made to the section captioned “Forward Looking Statements” in this annual report for a discussion of the limitations on the Corporation’s responsibility for such statements. The following table provides information about the Corporation’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2011. The table shows expected cash flows from market sensitive instruments for each of the next five years and thereafter. The expected maturity date values for loans and securities (at amortized cost) were calculated without adjusting the instruments’ contractual maturity dates for expected prepayments. Maturity date values for interest bearing core deposits were not based on estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding, but rather the opportunity for re-pricing. The Corporation believes that re-pricing dates, as opposed to expected maturity dates, may be more relevant in analyzing the value of such instruments and are reported as such in the following table.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT
Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to maximize net interest income as a result of changing interest rates, within prudent ranges of risk. The Corporation attempts to accomplish this objective by structuring the balance sheet so that re-pricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time intervals. Imbalances in these re-pricing opportunities at any point in time constitute a bank’s interest rate sensitivity. The Corporation currently does not utilize derivatives in managing interest rate risk.
An indicator of the interest rate sensitivity structure of a financial institution’s balance sheet is the difference between its interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities, and is referred to as “GAP”.
Table 14 sets forth the distribution of re-pricing of the Corporation’s earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as of December 31, 2011, the interest rate sensitivity GAP, as defined above, the cumulative interest rate sensitivity GAP, the interest rate sensitivity GAP ratio (i.e. interest rate sensitive assets divided by interest rate sensitive liabilities) and the cumulative sensitivity GAP ratio. The table also sets forth the time periods in which earning assets and liabilities will mature or may re-price in accordance with their contractual terms.

As indicated in Table 14, the short-term (one year and less) cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap is negative. Accordingly, if market interest rates increase, this negative gap position could have a short-term negative impact on interest margin. Conversely, if market rates decline this should theoretically have a short-term positive impact. However, gap analysis is limited and may not provide an accurate indication of the impact of general interest rate movements on the net interest margin since the re-pricing of various categories of assets and liabilities is subject to the Corporation’s needs, competitive pressures, and the needs of the Corporation’s customers. In addition, various assets and liabilities indicated as re-pricing within the same period may in fact re-price at different times within such period and at different rate indices. The Prime Rate has remained steady over the past twelve months. This steadiness allowed management to close the gap related to interest rate sensitivity. Management was able to reduce liquid interest bearing liability rates to extremely low rates, while maintaining relatively similar volumes. The Banks were also able to re-price maturing time deposits, usually in a downward fashion as longer term certificates at higher rates matured during the year. On the asset side of the balance sheet, rates on the investment portfolios remained relatively steady and the yields on loans increased slightly. Management worked to re-price loans favorably as they renewed and were priced accordingly for risk, however overall loan yields decreased. This was due to increases in non-performing loans. The Corporation expects to continue to make strides in managing interest rate sensitivity.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and other sections of the Consolidated Financial Statements and this annual report, contain forward looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation itself. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “is likely,” “plans,” “projects,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements. These
72
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (“Future Factors”), which are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecast in such forward looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Future Factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward looking statement include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rate and interest rate relationships, demands for products and services, the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors, changes in banking laws or regulations, changes in tax laws, change in prices, the impact of technological advances, government and regulatory policy changes, the outcome of pending and future litigation and contingencies, trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans, and the local and national economy.
