EXHIBIT 99 [MACKINAC FINANCIAL LOGO] CORRECTED PRESS RELEASE For Release: October 31, 2005 NASDAQ: MFNC Contact: Investor Relations at (800) 200-7032 Website: www.bankmbank.com MACKINAC FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2005 AND NINE MONTHS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Manistique, Michigan) - Mackinac Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: MFNC), the bank holding company for mBank (the "Bank") today announced a third quarter 2005 loss of $.518 million, or $.15 per share, compared to a loss of $761 thousand, or $2.17 per share for the third quarter of 2004. The loss for the nine months amounted to $6.336 million, or $1.85 per share, compared to a loss of $4.028 million, or $11.48 per share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The results of operations for the first nine months of 2005 include a penalty of $4.320 million on the prepayment of $48.555 million of the FHLB borrowings. Excluding this prepayment penalty, the net loss in the first nine months of 2005 amounted to $2.016 million. Weighted average shares in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 totaled 3,428,695 compared to 350,958 weighted average shares outstanding for the same periods in 2004. Paul Tobias, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, "In the third quarter of 2005 we continued to show steady progress in the execution of our business plan. Loan demand remained strong which has resulted in growth of our loan portfolio by $14.630 million since year-end despite experiencing an unusual level of payouts and refinancing of approximately $36.9 million. Net loan growth in the third quarter amounted to $13.959 million, after net growth of $9.672 million in the second quarter and a net decline of $9.001 million in the first quarter. We have a good pipeline of diversified loans that we expect to close in the near term and look forward to continued strong loan demand. In the third quarter, we launched a bank-wide advertising campaign designed to reintroduce mBank to the banking community. The results of the campaign were encouraging with 612 new accounts and $8.1 million in deposits." Total assets of the Corporation at September 30, 2005 were $280.590 million, down 17.35 percent from the $332.2 million in total assets reported at September 30, 2004. Third quarter-end total assets were down 4.4 percent from the $339.497 million of total assets at year-end 2004. The balance sheet totals at September 30, 2005 reflect the reduction in assets from the planned reduction in short term investments to pay down FHLB borrowings which occurred in the first quarter of 2005. Total loans at the end of the third quarter of 2005 increased $14.630 million, or 7.17 percent from year-end 2004 total loans of $203.832 million. During the first nine months of 2005, mBank generated $71.9 million in new loans. This growth was partially offset by the unusual level, $36.9 million, of loan payoffs mentioned previously along with normal loan amortization of $20.4 million. Total deposits of $213.268 million at September 30, 2005 were down $2.382 million, or 1.10 percent from year-end 2004 deposits of $215.650 million. The Bank experienced decreases in deposits during the first nine months of 4 2005 largely due to maturing internet deposits which amounted to $13.165 million Mr. Tobias added, "We have made good progress thus far this year re-branding the bank and developing a marketing campaign to help our talented branch team introduce our revised product line to our customers. We are pleased with the momentum following our rollout and are experiencing growth in our customer base. As we continue to build core deposits, we will continue reducing internet sourced deposit balances." Another step in the execution of our strategic plan is the opening or our new full service banking office in Birmingham, Michigan, which we anticipate later in the month of October. The Bank's credit quality has improved dramatically in the past twelve months with nonperforming loans, as a percent of loans, at 1.79% compared to 3.16% at September 30, 2004. Nonperforming assets, which amounted to $6.037 million, or 1.78% of assets at December 31, 2004, were reduced to $3.905 million, 1.39% of assets at September 30, 2005. Tobias, commenting on credit quality stated, "We have a strong credit culture that has allowed mBank to identify and remove the old problem loans and book new loans with confidence. This credit culture, anchored by a committee system, encourages our lending staff to concentrate on high quality loan production and is expected to reduce operating expense in future periods." Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2005 totaled $27.9 million, or $8.14 per share. The Corporation is well capitalized with Tier 1 capital in excess of 9.83% and total risk-based capital in excess of 13.28%. Tobias concluded, "We are pleased with our progress and look forward to the opening of our new full service branch in Birmingham in the very near future. We will also complete a full data processing conversion in the fourth quarter, which will provide the system capabilities of a large banking organization and will give us a competitive advantage in securing new relationships for mBank. We welcome the many challenges ahead and look forward to returning the Corporation to profitability." Mackinac Financial Corporation is a registered bank holding company which owns mBank.
