Fentura Financial, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 include Fentura Financial, Inc. (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, The State Bank in Fenton, Michigan, Davison State Bank in Davison, Michigan and West Michigan Community Bank in Hudsonville, Michigan (collectively the Banks). As further discussed in Note 5, on March 15, 2004, the Corporation completed the acquisition of West Michigan Financial Corporation (WMFC) and its subsidiary, West Michigan Community Bank (WMCB). WMFC was merged with and into the Corporation on the date of the acquisition. WMCB remains a subsidiary of the Corporation. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, these financial statements include the results of operations of WMFC and WMCB subsequent to March 15, 2004. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions for Form — 10Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

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 uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

7


A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. 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.

Stock Option Plans

The Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan grants options to nonemployee directors to purchase the Corporation’s common stock on April 1 each year. 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 7,392 shares of stock may be granted under the Plan in any calendar year and options to acquire not more than 73,920 shares in the aggregate may be outstanding at any one time.

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 79,200 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. Options covering 14,575 shares were granted under this Plan on June 26, 2003.

The following table summarizes stock option activity:

Number of
Options
Weighted
Average Price
Options outstanding at December 31, 2003   34,761   $     26 .99
Options granted 2004  12,250   39 .00
Options forfeited 2004  (4,799 ) 26 .47


Options outstanding at December 31, 2004  42,212   $     30 .80
Options granted 2005  735   35 .00


Options outstanding at March 31, 2005  42,947   $     30 .98



The stock option plans are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) as permitted under Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123). In accordance with APB 25, no compensation expense is required nor has been recognized for the options issued under existing plans as all options had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price at the date of grant. Had the Corporation chosen not to elect APB 25, SFAS 123 would apply and compensation expense would have been recognized, and the Corporation’s earnings would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

     Proforma  0.61 0.43
Diluted net income per share 
     As reported  0.61 0.44
     Proforma  0.61 0.43

Proforma net income includes compensation cost for the Corporation’s stock option plans based on the fair values of the grants as of the dates of the awards consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS 123. The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions used in the model for options granted during 2004 were as follows: an expected life of 6 years, a dividend yield of 2.78%, a risk free return of 3.60%, and expected volatility of 24% resulting in a value of $5.97 per option. Assumptions used in the model for options granted during 2005 were as follows: an expected life of 6 years, a dividend yield of 2.70%, a risk free return of 4.00% and expected volatility of 23% resulting in a value of $7.02 per option.

Note 3. Commitments and Contingencies

There are various contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the financial statements including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 5. Acquisition

On October 15, 2003, the Corporation announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire West Michigan Financial Corporation (“WMFC”), a commercial bank headquartered in Hudsonville, Michigan. The purpose of the acquisition was to establish a presence in the West Michigan market resulting in a foundation to grow the Corporations asset base, primarily loans, in the West Michigan market. Under the terms of the transaction, the Corporation acquired all of the outstanding stock of WMFC in exchange for cash. The total cost of the transaction was $12.9 million. The Corporation closed the transaction on March 15, 2004.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Identified intangible assets and purchase accounting fair value adjustments are being amortized under various methods over the expected lives of the corresponding assets and liabilities. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. Goodwill is tax deductible over 15 years. Identified intangible assets aggregate to $1.7 million and include a core deposit intangible and customer relationship value related to West Michigan Financial Corporation’s loan, deposit and wealth management customers. Goodwill aggregates to $7.9 million. Intangible assets recorded for the acquisition that are subject to amortization are estimated as follows in thousands of dollars:

     Amount
Core deposits intangible   $1,509  
Customer relationships intangible  216

In conjunction with the acquisition, the fair values of significant assets and liabilities assumed are as follows, stated in thousands of dollars

Cash and cash equivalents   $  (1,112 )
Securities  26,966  
Loans  97,277  
Acquisition intangibles  9,578

Other borrowings  (27,369 )

The following table presents pro forma information stated in thousands of dollars for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as if the acquisition of WMFC had occurred at the beginning of 2004. The pro forma information includes adjustments for the amortization of intangibles arising from the transaction, the elimination of acquisition related expenses, and the related income tax effects. WMFC has been included in results since March 15, 2004. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transactions been effected on the assumed dates.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Certain of the Corporation’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Corporation’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances, which could affect these judgments, include, but without limitation, changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses and determining the fair value of securities and other financial instruments.

As indicated in the income statement, earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $1,152,000 compared to $822,000 for the same period in 2004. Earnings increased for the first quarter of 2005 due to the inclusion of a full quarter of earnings for West Michigan Community Bank in 2005 versus sixteen days of earnings in 2004. Higher net interest income, which more than offset a slight decrease in noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense,also contributed in part to the increase in net income. Net interest income was higher due to significantly higher loan balances during the first quarter of 2005 compared with the same period in 2004. The Corporation continues to focus on core banking activities and new opportunities in current and surrounding markets.

The banking industry uses standard performance indicators to help evaluate a banking institution’s performance. Return on average assets is one of these indicators. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 the Corporation’s return on average assets (annualized) was 0.80% compared to 0.73% for the same period in 2004. Net income per share — basic and diluted was $0.61 in the first three months of 2005 compared to $0.44 net income per share – basic and diluted for the same period in 2004.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income and average balances and yields on major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are summarized in Table 2. The effects of changes in average interest rates and average balances are detailed in Table 1 below.

As indicated in Table 1, during the three months ended March 31, 2005, net interest income increased compared to the same period in 2004, principally because of the increase in loan interest income and securities interest income. Loan income increased due to higher balances during the first three months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Interest expenses increased compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to the increase in deposit balances and an increase in borrowings for the Corporation.

Net interest income (displayed with consideration of full tax equivalency), average balance sheet amounts, and the corresponding yields for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are shown in Table 2. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $5,542,000, an increase of $1,871,000, or 51.0%, over the same period in 2004. The primary factor contributing to the net interest income increase was the acquisition of West Michigan Financial Corporation on March 15, 2004, and the higher interest income due to an increase in loan income resulting from higher balances carried in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Also, net interest margin increased due to favorable increases in the prime rate and loan volumes during the quarter. Management’s actions to reprice loans and deposits to improve the margin and short-term rate stability contributed substantially to the improvement during the first three months of 2005 compared to the first three months of 2004.

13


Management reviews economic forecasts and strategy on a monthly basis. Accordingly, the Corporation will continue to strategically manage the balance sheet structure in an effort to create stability in net interest income. The Corporation expects to continue to seek out new loan opportunities while continuing to maintain sound credit quality.

As indicated in Table 2, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Corporation’s net interest margin (with consideration of full tax equivalency) was 4.24% compared with 3.62% for the same period in 2004. This increase is attributable to the impact of higher loan volumes and repricing of variable rate instruments, which helped increase net interest income and increased the net interest margin. The Corporation’s net interest margin was also positively impacted by the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates during the first quarter in 2005.

Average earning assets increased 30.2% or approximately $122,923,000 comparing the first three months of 2005 to the same time period in 2004. Loans, the highest yielding component of earning assets, represented 75.7% of earning assets in 2005 compared to 67.7% in 2004. Average interest bearing liabilities increased 31.5% or $108,491,000 comparing the first three months of 2005 to the same time period in 2004. Non-interest bearing deposits amounted to 15.3% of average earning assets in the first three months of 2005 compared with 15.0% in the same time period of 2004. The increase in average earning assets and interest bearing liabilities resulted primarily from the acquisition of West Michigan Financial Corporation.

Management continually monitors the Corporation’s balance sheet in an effort to insulate net interest income from significant swings caused by interest rate volatility. If market rates change in 2005, corresponding changes in funding costs will be considered to avoid potential negative impacts on net interest income. The Corporation’s policies in this regard are further discussed in the section titled “Interest Rate Sensitivity Management.”

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 is adequate to provide for probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The Corporation’s loan portfolio has no significant concentrations in any one industry or any exposure in foreign loans. The Corporation has not extended credit to finance highly leveraged transactions nor does it intend to do so in the future. Employment levels and other economic conditions in the Corporation’s local markets may have a significant impact on the level of loan 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 gross loans. Non-performing loans are discussed further in the section titled “Non-Performing Assets.”

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) reflects management’s judgment as to the level considered appropriate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. Fentura’s subsidiary banks’ methodology in determining the adequacy of the ALL 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, historical loss experience, current economic conditions, portfolio trends, and other pertinent factors. The amount of the provision for loan losses is based on our review of the historical credit loss experience and such factors that, in our judgment, deserve consideration under existing economic conditions in estimating probable credit losses. While we consider the allowance for loan losses to be adequate based on information currently available, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions, delinquencies, or loss rates. Although portions of the allowance have been allocated to various portfolio segments, the ALL is general in nature and is available for the portfolio in its entirety. At March 31, 2005, the ALL was $5,780,000, or 1.41% of total loans substantially the same as the $5,501,000, or 1.40%, at December 31, 2004. Non performing loan levels, discussed later, remained stable during the period and net charge-offs were nominal. Management believes that the allowance to gross loans percentage is appropriate given identified risk in the loan portfolio based on asset quality.

15


Table 3 also summarizes loan losses and recoveries for the first three months of 2005 and 2004. During the first three months of 2005 the Corporation experienced net recoveries of $10,000 compared with net charge-offs of $34,000 or .01% in the first three months of 2004. The provision for loan losses was $269,000 in the first three months of 2005 and $273,000 for the same time period in 2004 resulting principally from the growth in the loan portfolio during 2005.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to the decrease in service charges on deposits, a small decrease in other income and fees and loss on sales of securities. Overall non-interest income was $1,586,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $1,611,000 for the same period in 2004. These figures represent a decrease of 1.6%. The income statement provides a detailed breakdown of the components of non-interest income.

The most significant category of non-interest income is service charges on deposit accounts. These fees were $785,000 in the first three months of 2005 compared to $878,000 for the same period of 2004. This represents a decrease of 10.6%. Decreases are attributable to a reduction in overdraft privilege service charges and regular deposit account service charges in the Banks. The decrease was due to higher balances in deposit accounts and fewer customers using the overdraft privilege product during the first quarter of 2005.

16


Gains on the sale of mortgage loans originated by the Banks and sold in the secondary market were $182,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2005 and $96,000 in the same period in 2004. In the first quarter of 2005 gain on the sale of mortgages increased 89.6% over the same period in 2004. The increase resulted from the increase in residential mortgage products offered and an increase in activity and a full quarter of West Michigan Community Bank, compared to the first quarter of 2004.

Trust and investment services income increased $149,000 (80.1%) in the first three months of 2005 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in fees is attributable to the increase in the average market value of assets under management, the increase in investment services at The State Bank and a full quarter of West Michigan Community Bank trust and investment services fees.

Loss on sale of securities was $111,000 in the first three months of 2005, due to the Banks selling securities in the first quarter of 2005. The Banks took the loss to reposition its securities portfolio into higher yielding securities. The Banks did not sell any securities in the first quarter of 2004.

Other operating income decreased $58,000 (12.8%) to $395,000 in the first three months of 2005 compared to $453,000 in the same time period in 2004. Other operating income decreased due to the gain of $79,000 resulting from the surrender of insurance related to a terminated benefit plan in the first quarter of 2004.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense increased 34.2% to $5,093,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared with $3,795,000 in the same period of 2004. This increase was largely attributable to the inclusion of a full quarter of expenses of West Michigan Community Bank, an increase in salaries and benefits expense and occupancy expenses.

Salary and benefit costs, Fentura’s largest non-interest expense category, were $2,964,000 in the first three months of 2005, compared with $2,076,000, or an increase of 42.8%, for the same time period in 2004. Increased costs were primarily a result of the acquisition of West Michigan Financial Corporation on March 15, 2004, the addition of the Brighton Loan Production office in June 2004, a modest salary increase for employees and an increase in employee benefit costs and modest staffing increases.

Occupancy expenses at $436,000 increased in the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 by $94,000 or 27.5%. The increases were attributable to the acquisition of West Michigan Financial Corporation on March 15, 2004, the addition of the Brighton Loan Production office in June 2004, an increase in facility repairs and maintenance contracts expense.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005 furniture and equipment expenses were $544,000 compared to $413,000 for the same period in 2004, an increase of 31.7%. The increases in expenses were attributable to the acquisition of West Michigan Financial Corporation on March 15, 2004, the addition of the Brighton Loan Production office in June 2004, an increase in equipment maintenance contracts and equipment depreciation.

Loan and collection expenses, at $97,000, were up $18,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same time period in 2004. In the first quarter loan and collection expense increased 22.8% compared to the first quarter of 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in other loan expense relating to other real estate and increases in other loan costs.

Advertising expenses were $127,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2005, up 17.6% compared with $108,000 for the same period in 2004. The increases were primarily due to the increase in media, shareholder, promotional expenses and the full quarter of West Michigan Community Bank advertising costs.

17


Other operating expenses were $925,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $777,000 in the same time period in 2004, an increase of $148,000 or 19.0%. The increases were attributable to the acquisition of West Michigan Financial Corporation on March 15, 2004, the addition of the Brighton Loan Production office in June, 2004, an increase in the amount of correspondent bank service charges due to maintaining lower balances and an increase in other outside services and consulting expenses.

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. Customer deposits are the primary source of funding for earning assets while short-term debt and other sources of funds could be further utilized if market conditions and liquidity needs change.

The Corporation’s total assets were $589 million at March 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004 total assets of $585 million. Loans comprised 69.8% of total assets at March 31, 2005 compared to 67.3% at December 31, 2004. Loans grew $17.6 million for the Corporation. The ratio of non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 16.6% at March 31, 2005 compared to 16.4% at December 31, 2004. Interest bearing deposit liabilities totaled $396 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $410 million at December 31, 2004. Total deposits decreased $16.8 million with non-interest bearing demand deposits decreasing $1.9 million and interest bearing deposits decreasing $14.9 million. Short-term borrowings increased $12.2 million due to the increase in loan demand and decrease in deposit volume. FHLB advance balances increased $9.5 million during the period due to the increase in loan demand at the Banks and reduction in deposit volumes. Repurchase agreement balances remained steady comparing the two periods. Repurchase agreements are instruments with deposit type characteristics, which are secured by bank securities. The repurchase agreements were leveraged against securities to increase net interest income.

Bank premises and equipment increased $795,000 to $14.6 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $13.8 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was due to the acquisition of land at one of Bank subsidiaries and the purchase of a new mainframe computer system.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets are assets that have more than a normal risk of loss and include loans on which interest accruals have ceased, loans that have been renegotiated, and real estate acquired through foreclosure. Past due loans are loans which are delinquent 90 days or more, but have not been placed on non-accrual status. Table 4 reflects the levels of these assets at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Non-performing assets decreased at March 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004. This decrease was primarily due to a $237,000 decrease in Other Real Estate and REO-in-Redemption, which decreased due to the sale of two residential properties in the first three months of 2005. One residential property comprises $727,000 of the remaining balance and marketability is dependent on the real estate market. Non-performing loans decreased as compared to December 31, 2004 due to the pay off of the remaining balance of two non-accrual loans.

The level and composition of non-performing assets are 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, potentially impacting the Corporation’s 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.

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 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 exposure in relation to present and prospective markets, business conditions, and product lines. Accordingly, the committee adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to maintain earnings, liquidity, and growth rates consistent with policy and prudent business standards.

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 Banks’ deposit base plus other funding sources (federal funds purchased, short-term borrowings, FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, other liabilities and shareholders’ equity) provided primarily all funding needs in the first quarter of 2005. 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.

19


Primary liquidity is provided through short-term investments or borrowings (including federal funds sold and purchased) while the securities portfolio provides secondary liquidity. The securities portfolio has decreased $6.0 million since December 31, 2004 due to the calls of securities and the increase in loan demand. The Corporation has decided to invest the excess funds in the securities and loan portfolios to increase yield and income versus keeping the excess funds in federal funds sold at a lower yield. The Corporation regularly monitors liquidity to ensure adequate cash flows to cover unanticipated reductions in the availability of funding sources.

Interest rate risk is managed by controlling and limiting the level of earnings volatility arising from rate movements. The Corporation regularly performs reviews and analysis 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 had cash flows from financing activities resulting primarily from the increase of borrowings and decrease of demand and savings deposits. In the first three months of 2005, these borrowings increased $24,574,000 while these deposits decreased $16,831,000. Cash used by investing activities was $13,821,000 in first three months of 2005 compared to cash used of $7,072,000 in first three months of 2004. The change in investing activities was due to the increase in the origination of loans in the first three months of 2005 compared to the first three months of 2004, which included the acquisition of West Michigan Community Bank on March 15, 2004 and securities sales.

Capital Management

Total shareholders’ equity increased 0.5% to $43,187,000 at March 31, 2005 compared with $42,969,000 at December 31, 2004. The Corporation’s equity to asset ratio remained steady at 7.3% at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The increase in the amount of capital resulted primarily from net income, partially offset by dividends declared.

As indicated on the balance sheet at December 31, 2004, the Corporation had an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $655,000 compared to accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2005 of $1,349,000. The increase in the loss position is attributable to the fluctuation of the market price of securities held in the available for sale portfolio.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries are required by banking industry regulators to maintain certain levels of capital. These are expressed in the form of certain ratios. These ratios are based on the degree of credit risk in the Corporation’s assets. All assets and off-balance sheet items such as outstanding loan commitments are assigned risk factors to create an overall risk-weighted asset total. Capital is separated into two levels, Tier I capital (essentially total common shareholders’ equity plus qualifying cumulative preferred securities (limited to 33% of common equity), less goodwill) and Tier II capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited to 1.25% of gross risk-weighted assets). Capital levels are then measured as a percentage of total risk weighted assets. The regulatory minimum for Tier I capital to risk weighted assets is 4% and the minimum for Total capital (Tier I plus Tier II) to risk weighted assets is 8%. The Tier I leverage ratio measures Tier I capital to average assets and must be a minimum of 3%. As reflected in Table 5, at March 31, 2005 and at December 31, 2004, the Corporation was well in excess of the minimum capital and leverage requirements necessary to be considered a “well capitalized” banking company.

The FDIC has adopted a risk-based insurance premium system based in part on a bank’s capital adequacy. Under this system a depository institution is classified as well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized according to its regulatory capital levels. Subsequently, a financial institution’s premium levels are based on these classifications and its regulatory supervisory rating (the higher the classification the lower the premium). It is the Corporation’s goal to maintain capital levels sufficient to retain a designation of “well capitalized.”

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information concerning quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained on page 50 in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, is here incorporated by reference.

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. For the first three months of 2005, 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 primary 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 have been managed in 2005 compared to 2004.

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 quarterly report for a discussion of the limitations on the Corporation’s responsibility for such statements.

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 rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities, and is referred to as “GAP.”

21


Table 6 sets forth the distribution of re-pricing of the Corporation’s earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as of March 31, 2005, 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 6, the short-term (one year and less) cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap is negative. Accordingly, if market interest rates continue to 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 volumes. These limitations are evident when considering the Corporation’s Gap position at March 31, 2005 and the change in net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same time period in 2004. At March 31, 2005 the Corporation was negatively gapped through one year and since that time interest rates have increased further, yet net interest margin increased when the first three months of 2005 is compared to the same period in 2004. This occurred because certain deposit categories, specifically interest bearing demand and savings deposits, repriced at the same time but not at the same level as the asset portfolios resulting in a increase in net interest margin. In addition to the GAP analysis, the Corporation, as a part of managing interest rate risk, also performs simulation modeling, which measures the impact of upward and downward movements of interest rates on interest margin and the market value of equity. Assuming continued success at achieving repricing of loans to higher rates at a faster pace than repricing of deposits, simulation modeling indicates that an upward movement of interest rates could have a positive impact on net interest imcome. Because management believes that it should be able to continue these repricing relationships, it anticipates improved performance in net interest margin as a result of a rising interest rate environment.
