Fentura Financial, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2009, March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010
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 (the Banks), as well as Fentura Mortgage Company, West Michigan Mortgage
Company, LLC, and the other subsidiaries of the Banks. Intercompany transactions and balances are
eliminated in consolidation.
On March 17, 2009, The Corporation entered into an agreement to sell all of the stock of one of its
bank subsidiaries, Davison State Bank, to a private, non-affiliated, investor group. At March 31,
2010, Davison had assets of $37.4 million, loans of $24.2 million, and deposits of $34.7 million
and equity of $2.8 million. The amended agreement calls for consideration to be received of $2.8
million. The Corporation recorded an estimated loss on the sale of Davison State Bank of $700,000
in the first quarter of 2009. As a result of the amended sales agreement, the estimated loss of
$700,000 was reversed in the first quarter of 2010. This transaction will have minimal impact to
2010 core earnings due to the proportionate size of Davison State Bank. The Corporation projects
cost savings for the remainder of 2010 and beyond, as a result of this transaction. On April 30,
2010, the sale of Davison State Bank closed and the assets and liabilities were transferred to the
investor group.
Financial statements are presented with discontinued operations sequestered on the balance sheet
and income statement. The presentations have been updated for March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009
and March 31, 2009 to reflect the discontinued operations results.
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 10-Q 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, 2010
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2010. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Corporations annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
Reclassifications
Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current
presentation. For the three month period ending March 31, 2009, a $700,000 impairment charge on
discontinued operations was reclassified in the prior year presentation from non-interest expense
of continuing operations to discontinued operations. This reclassification reduced the loss from
continuing operations by $546,000, net of tax, and had no impact on net income.
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 income, 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. Securities are written down to fair value when a
decline in fair value is not temporary.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment 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 investments 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
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.
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 managements judgment, should be
charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the
uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.
8
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
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 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 loans 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. Loans for which the terms have been modified
and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt
restructurings and are classified as impaired. Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the
present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans effective rate at inception.
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.
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.
The Corporation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax
expense.
There were no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009, and the Corporation
does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next
twelve months.
Dividend Restriction
Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by
the Banks to the Corporation or by the Corporation to shareholders. West Michigan Community Bank
and The State Bank have been restricted from dividend payments due to the signing of Consent Orders
with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). In addition, the Corporation had elected to
withhold dividend requests from Davison State Bank.
Stock Option Plans
The Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan provides for granting options to nonemployee directors
to purchase the Corporations 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 have been granted in 2010 or 2009.
The Employee Stock Option Plan grants options to eligible employees to purchase the Corporations
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
9
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
exercise price of the options and other terms of the options, subject to consistency with the terms
of the Plan.
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 Corporations 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.

Going Concern
As a result of the Corporations net losses and non-compliance with the higher capital requirements
of the Consent Orders, our auditors added an explanatory paragraph to their opinion on the
Corporations December 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements, expressing substantial doubt
about the Corporations ability to continue as a going concern. Managements strategies to improve
profitability and to meet the capital requirements of the Consent Orders, discussed in Note 10,
include shrinking assets, reducing costs, and sales of subsidiary banks. As more fully described
in the notes to this quarterly report, the net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2010
demonstrates the second continuous quarter of reduced net losses. The capital positions of the
Banks have improved as of March 31, 2010, the sale of Davison State Bank, which closed on April,
30, 2010, generated $2.8 million that may be reinvested in the remaining subsidiary banks, and an
agreement was signed for the sale of West Michigan Community Bank which is expected to generate
additional capital to strengthen The State Bank.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the
Corporation is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 2009, the FASB amended previous guidance relating to transfers of financial assets and
eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. This guidance must be applied as of
the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November
15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual
reporting periods thereafter. This guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the
effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly
qualifying special-purpose entities should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on
and after the effective date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. The
disclosure provisions were also amended and apply to transfers that occurred
10
NOTE 2 ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (continued)
both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The effect of adopting this new
guidance was not material to the Corporation.
In June 2009, the FASB amended guidance for consolidation of variable interest entity guidance by
replacing the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if
any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on
identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity
that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb
losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additional disclosures
about an enterprises involvement in variable interest entities are also required. This guidance is
effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for
interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Early adoption is prohibited. The effect of
adopting this new guidance was not material to the Corporation.

At March 31, 2010, there were holdings totaling $2,183,000 of private label CMO securities issued
by Wells Fargo which exceeded 10% of shareholders equity. At March 31, 2009, there were no
holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an
amount greater than 10% of shareholders equity.
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, and March 31, 2009 the Corporation did not sell
securities and therefore had no gain or loss on securities.
Securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, aggregated by investment
category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss

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 considers the factors presented in Note 1.
As of March 31, 2010, the Corporations security portfolio consisted of 121 securities, 11 of which
were in an unrealized loss position. The majority of unrealized losses are related to the
Corporations collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and equity securities, as discussed below.
Credit losses recognized in earnings on debt securities totaled $288,000 at December 31, 2009 and
there were no additional OTTI losses recognized through earnings during the period ending March 31,
2010
US Government and federal agency and State and municipal securities
Unrealized losses on US Government and federal agency and State and municipal securities have not
been recognized into income because the issuers of the bonds are of high credit quality.
Management does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that management would be
required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value
is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds
approach maturity.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)
Gross unrealized losses relating to collateralized mortgage obligation securities were $800,000 at
March 31, 2010. The decline in fair value is primarily attributable to temporary illiquidity and
the financial crisis affecting these markets and not necessarily the expected cash flows of the
individual securities. These investments consist of three private label securities with an
amortized cost of $5.5 million. The ratings held on the private label securities are AAA on two of
the securities, and CCC on the third. The Corporation has been closely monitoring the performance
of the CMO portfolio. In 2009, there were several CMOs that were downgraded in the market. The
underlying collateral of these CMOs is comprised largely of 1-4 family residences. In each of
these securities the Corporation lies in 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. On a quarterly basis, management
reviews historical and payment streams, delinquency ratios, geographic distribution, ratings,
projected future cash flows and general market conditions. 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 experiences is the base for
determining the cash flow assumptions and are adjusted when appropriate after considering
characteristics of the underlying loans collateralizing the private label CMO security. As a
result of its review, in the fourth quarter of 2009, the Corporation recognized a $79,000
other-than-temporary impairment as a result of incurred credit losses which was reflected in the
income statement. The security with the credit loss is the Corporations sole CCC rated security
and has a remaining amortized cost of
13
NOTE 3 SECURITIES (continued)
$745,700 at March 31, 2010. The remaining unrealized loss of $145,000 on this security has been
reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. Following the March 31, 2010 analysis,
managements review did not indicate any additional OTTI on these securities.
Equity securities
The Corporation also holds investments in equity securities which had gross unrealized losses of
$486,000 at March 31, 2010. The majority of the equity securities are investments into bank
holding companies within Michigan. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the Corporations
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 a temporary valuation adjustment is warranted. The equity securities
portfolio has an amortized cost of $1,971,000. Currently, the equity securities have a net
unrecognized loss of $444,000, for a fair value of $1,527,000. The performance of the bank holding
companies remained relatively stable during the first quarter of 2010. As a result no OTTI was
recognized during the quarter as management anticipates improved performance of these institutions
as economic conditions stabilize.

The Corporation has originated primarily residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial,
and installment loans. Construction lending has curtailed given the present economy. The
Corporation estimates that the majority of their loan portfolio is based in Genesee, Oakland and
Livingston counties within southeast Michigan; in Kent and Ottawa counties in west Michigan, with
the remainder of the portfolio distributed throughout Michigan. The ability of the Corporations
debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions
in these areas.
Activity in the allowance for loan losses, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and
March 31, 2009 is as follows:

NOTE 5 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. Securities
classified as available for sale are generally reported at fair value utilizing Level 2
inputs where the Corporation obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing
service which uses 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 fair value measurements consider observable data
that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows and the bonds terms and
conditions, among other things. The fair value of the Corporations equity securities,
which primarily consists of the common stock in other Michigan bank holding companies, is
based on the prices of recent stock trades and is considered Level 2 because these stocks
are not actively traded in public markets (Level 2 inputs).
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entitys own assumptions
about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.
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
15
NOTE 5 FAIR VALUE (continued)
securities (Level 2 inputs). The remaining fair values of securities (Level 3 inputs) are based on
the reporting entitys 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. Level 3 inputs were utilized for the fair value of securities at
March 31, 2009.
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, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying
amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

The following represent impairment charges recognized during the period:
At March 31, 2010, impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the
collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal amount of $20,484,000 with a valuation
allowance of $6,112,000 resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $430,000 for the
period, ending March 31, 2010. This is compared to December 31, 2009 when the principal amount of
impaired loans was $23,059,000 with a valuation allowance of $5,683,000.
Other real estate owned which is measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs
to sell, had a net carrying amount of $8,928,000, of which $411,000 was at fair value at March 31,
2010, resulting from write-downs totaling $79,000 during the quarter. At December 31, 2009 other
real estate owned had a net carrying amount of $7,967,000, of which $1,274,000 was at fair value.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value
disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate
their fair values.
Securities
Fair values for securities held to maturity are based on similar information previously presented
for securities available for sale.
FHLB Stock
It was not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its
transferability.
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.
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 for other loans is estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its
fair value.
Off-balance-sheet instruments
The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material.
18
NOTE 5 FAIR VALUE (continued)
Deposit liabilities
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. The carrying amount of
accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Short-term borrowings
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings approximate their
fair values.
FHLB advances
Rates currently available for FHLB debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to
estimate the fair value of the existing debt.
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 Corporations entire holdings of a
particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the
Corporations financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on managements 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 6 INCOME TAXES
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. Management
has reviewed the deferred tax position for the Corporation at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
The Corporations 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. During the second quarter of 2009, the
Corporation established a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. The valuation
allowance against our deferred tax assets may be reversed to income in future periods to the extent
that the related 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.
Normally, the calculation for the income tax expense (benefit) does not consider the tax effects of
changes in other categories of income such as other comprehensive income (OCI), which is a
component of shareholders equity on the balance sheet. However, an exception is warranted when
there is a pre-tax loss in continuing operations. When this is the case, pre-tax income from other
categories, such as changes in OCI and discontinued operations, are included in the calculation of
the tax expense or benefit for the current year. For the first quarter of 2010, this resulted in
an income tax benefit of $327,000 recorded to continuing operations.
19
NOTE 6 INCOME TAXES (continued)
There were no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009, and the Corporation
does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next
twelve months.

There were no stock options for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 or 2009 that were
dilutive, as a result of the net loss for both periods.
NOTE 8 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 Corporations consolidated financial condition or results
of operations.

NOTE 9 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On March 17, 2009, The Corporation entered into an agreement to sell all of the stock of one of its
bank subsidiaries, Davison State Bank, to a private, non-affiliated, investor group. At March 31,
2010, Davison had assets of $37.4 million, loans of $24.2 million, and deposits of $34.7 million
and equity of $2.8 million. The amended agreement calls for consideration to be received of $2.8
million. The Corporation recorded an estimated loss on the sale of Davison State Bank of $700,000
in the first quarter of 2009. As a result of the amended sales agreement, the estimated loss of
$700,000 was reversed in the first quarter of 2010. This transaction will have minimal impact to
2010 core earnings due to the proportionate size of Davison State Bank. The Corporation projects
cost savings for the remainder of 2010 and beyond, as a result of this transaction. On April 30,
2010, the sale of Davison State Bank closed and the assets and liabilities were transferred to the
investor group.
A condensed balance sheet of held for sale operations is presented below for the periods ended
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. A condensed statement of income of held for sale operations
are presented for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009.

NOTE 10-REGULATORY MATTERS
The Corporation (on a consolidated basis) and its Bank subsidiaries 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 Banks
financial statements. 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 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 Banks 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, 2009 the most recent notification from
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Banks as adequately capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
As of December 31, 2009 both The State Bank and Davison State Bank were required by regulatory
authorities to maintain certain minimum capital ratios. Davison State Bank was required to
maintain a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 8.0%. At March 31, 2010, Davison State Bank
had a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 7.9% as compared to Tier 1 capital to average
assets ratio of 7.2% at December 31, 2009. The State Banks required capital ratios were the same
as those required in the Consent Order that was effective January 10, 2010 which is discussed later
in this note.
In March 2009, West Michigan Community Bank entered into a Consent Order with federal and state
banking regulators that contain provisions to foster improvement in West Michigan Community Banks
earnings, lower non performing loan levels, and increase capital. Under regulatory guidelines,
when a bank is issued a Consent Order the capital status of the bank is automatically reduced to
adequately
22
NOTE 10-REGULATORY MATTERS (continued)
capitalized. The Consent Order requires West Michigan Community Bank to retain a Tier 1 capital to
average assets ratio of a minimum of 8.0%. As of March 31, 2010, West Michigan Community Bank has
a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 6.5%, as compared to Tier 1 capital to average assets
ratio of 6.9% at December 31, 2009. At both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, West Michigan
Community Bank was not in compliance with the Consent Order capital requirements.
Effective January 10, 2010, The State Bank entered into a Consent Order with federal and state
banking regulators that contain provisions to foster improvement in The State Banks 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 March 31, 2010, The State Bank had a Tier 1 capital to average assets
ratio of 6.3% and a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 9.0%. This is compared to
ratios at December 31, 2009, of a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 6.2% and a total
capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.9%. At March 31, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, The
State Bank was not in compliance with the Consent Order capital requirements.
The Consent Orders restrict the banks from issuing or renewing brokered deposits. The Consent
Orders also restrict dividend payments from The State Bank and West Michigan Community Bank to the
Corporation. The Consent Orders do not place any restrictions on the Corporation. The Corporation,
the Board of Directors and management continue to work on plans to come into compliance with the
Consent Orders which includes the injection of capital into the Banks resulting from the sale of
Davison State Bank. As a result of the sale of Davison State Bank, a portion of the $2.8 million
of proceeds may be divided to The State Bank and West Michigan Community Bank. While below the
compliance level required by the Orders, both banks maintain capital levels considered adequate by
regulatory standards. Non-compliance with Consent Order requirements may cause banks to be subject
to further enforcement actions by the FDIC.
As illustrated in the table below, at March 31, 2010, the Consolidated Corporations total capital
to risk weighted assets ratio indicates that it is under capitalized. The Corporation is at a
ratio of 7.8%, while adequately capitalized has a minimum requirement of 8.0%. With the current
capital levels, the Corporation is required to obtain written approval prior to payments of any
dividends or for any increase or decrease to outstanding debt.
At December 31, 2009, the Consolidated Corporations total capital to risk weighted assets ratio
indicates that it is under capitalized. The Corporation is at a ratio of 7.8%, while adequately
capitalized has a minimum requirement of 8.0%. With the current capital levels, the Corporation is
required to obtain written approval prior to payments of any dividends or for any increase or
decrease to outstanding debt.
The Corporations principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the
Banks. 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 years net profits, combined with the retained net profits
of the preceding two years, subject to the limitations described above.

NOTE 11-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 30, 2010, Davison State Bank was sold to an independent investor group for $2.8 million.
A portion of the proceeds will be reinvested into the remaining subsidiary banks.
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. The intended purchaser is
affiliated with Northstar Financial Group, Inc. headquartered in Bad Axe, Michigan. Fentura
anticipates the receipt of $11.0 million from the sale of West Michigan Community Bank (an
approximate 10% premium to book). As a condition of the sale, Fentura will acquire all the
non-performing assets of West Michigan Community Bank. The assets will be housed in a newly formed
holding company subsidiary of the Corporation. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth
quarter of 2010; however regulatory approval is required for the sale and for the Corporation to
acquire the non-performing assets. It is expected that Fentura will utilize a portion of the
proceeds from the sale of West Michigan Community Bank to improve the capital position of Fentura
subsidiary, The State Bank.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
As indicated in the income statement, the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was
$483,000 compared to loss of $1,659,000 for the same period in 2009. Net interest income in the
first quarter of 2010, was approximately $390,000 below net interest income for the same quarter in
2009. The first quarter 2010 provision for loan losses was up $135,000 compared to the first
quarter of 2009. Management feels the provision is adequate and the allowance for loan losses has
increased $933,000 when comparing the period ended March 31, 2010 to the period ended March 31,
2009.
On March 17, 2009, The Corporation entered into an agreement to sell all of the stock of one of its
bank subsidiaries, Davison State Bank, to a private, non-affiliated, investor group. At March 31,
2010, Davison had assets of $37.4 million, loans of $24.2 million, and deposits of $34.7 million
and equity of $2.8 million. The amended agreement calls for consideration to be received of $2.8
million. The Corporation recorded an estimated loss on the sale of Davison State Bank of $700,000
in the first quarter of 2009. As a result of the amended sales agreement, the estimated loss of
$700,000 was reversed in the first quarter of 2010. This transaction will have minimal impact to
2010 core earnings due to the proportionate size of Davison State Bank, although the Corporation
projects cost savings for the remainder of 2010 and beyond, as a result of this transaction. On
April 30, 2010, the sale of Davison State Bank closed and the assets and liabilities were
transferred to the investor group.
The banking industry uses standard performance indicators to help evaluate a banking institutions
performance. Return on average assets is one of these indicators. For the three months ended March
31, 2010, the Corporations return on average assets (annualized) was (0.38%) compared to (1.17%)
for the same period in 2009. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, was ($0.21) in the first three
months of 2010 compared to ($0.76) net loss per share basic and diluted for the same period in
2009.
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, 2010 and 2009 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, 2010, net interest income
decreased compared to the same period in 2009. Interest rates and volume on loans continued to
decrease over the past year. As an offset, deposit interest expense was also decreased. The
deposit interest rate reduction was achieved by reduction of offering rates on time deposits, which
assisted in encouraging high rate instruments from renewing, with some funds exiting, thus reducing
interest bearing liability costs.
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, 2010 and 2009 are shown
in Table 2. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $3,791,000, a
decrease of $400,000, or 9.54%, from the same period in 2009. Net interest margin increased due to
several factors. The most notable factors were the decrease in the security portfolios as
securities were called at low interest rates, and decreases in loan volume and loan income due to
payoffs. The cash flow from the loan payoffs are currently reinvested in Federal Funds at a lesser
interest rate. While rate is sacrificed, this assists the Banks with maintaining liquidity. The
decreases on securities and loans was offset by managements ability to effectively reduce interest
bearing deposit volumes and rates while nearly maintaining the average balance of non-interest
bearing deposits.
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
26
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, 2010, the Corporations net
interest margin (with consideration of full tax equivalency) was 3.59% compared with 3.52% for the
same period in 2009. This increase is a result of managements ability to make large downward
repricing steps on interest bearing liabilities. Additionally non-interest bearing deposits
decreased less than 1.0% when comparing the period ended March 31, 2010 to the period ended March
31, 2009.
Average earning assets decreased 11.3% or $54,641,000 comparing the three months of 2010 to the
same time period in 2009. Management has been strategically working to shrink both sides of the
balance sheet. Loans, the highest yielding component of earning assets, represented 82.2% of
earning assets in 2010 compared to 88.3% in 2009. Average interest bearing liabilities decreased
9.3% or $39,951,000 comparing the first three months of 2010 to the same time period in 2009.
Non-interest bearing deposits amounted to 15.0% of average earning assets in the first three months
of 2010 compared with 13.5% in the same time period of 2009.
Management continually monitors the Corporations balance sheet in an effort to insulate net
interest income from significant swings caused by interest rate volatility. If market rates change
in 2010, corresponding changes in funding costs will be considered to avoid the potential negative
impact on net interest income. The Corporations 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. While the Corporations loan portfolio has no significant
concentrations in any one industry or any exposure in foreign loans, the loan portfolio had a
concentration connected with construction and land development loans. Specific strategies have
been deployed to reduce the concentration level and limit exposure to this type of lending in the
future. The Michigan economy, employment levels and other economic conditions in the Corporations
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 Corporations 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 reflects managements judgment as to the level considered appropriate
to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. The Corporations methodology in determining the
adequacy 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. 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 allowance is general in nature and is available for the portfolio in its entirety.
At March 31, 2010, the allowance was $12,338,000, or 3.58% of total loans compared to $10,726,000,
or 3.01%, at December 31, 2009, increasing the allowance $1,612,000 during the first three months
of 2010. Non performing loan levels, discussed later, decreased $2,817,000 during the period and
net charge-offs have decreased to $178,000 during the first three months of 2010 compared to
$705,000 during the first three months of 2009. The provision for loan losses remains high as a
result of continued weaknesses in the local economy, elevated amounts of non-performing loans and
elevated charge-off levels over the past three years. Rolling twelve quarter periods of historical
charge off experience is considered when calculating the current required level of the allowance
for loan losses and as prior periods with less loan losses are replaced with periods with higher
loan losses the required level of allowance increases. Additionally the amount of the allowance
for loan losses specifically allocated to impaired loans increased by $429,000 during the quarter
as a result of updated collateral evaluations and a migration to the impaired status. Table 3
below summarizes loan losses and recoveries for the first three months of 2010 and 2009. During the
first three months of 2010, the Corporation experienced net charge-offs of $178,000 or .05% of
gross loans compared with net charge-offs of $705,000 or .17% of gross loans in the first three
months of 2009. Net charge-offs in the first three months of 2010, were reduced by the recovery of
$607,000 on two separate transactions. The provision for loan loss was $1,790,000 in the first
three months of 2010 and $1,655,000 for the same time period in 2009. 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 indicators that asset
quality is improving, such as a decrease on non-performing loans, management still feels there is
enough uncertainty given the current economic conditions to use these high historical loss rates in
estimating the required level of allowance for loan losses.
Davison State Bank had net charge-offs of $32,000 in the first three months of 2010 and no loan
loss provision for the first quarter of 2010.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased during the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same
period in 2009. Overall non-interest income, of continuing operations, was $1,347,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $1,140,000 for the same period in 2009. This represents an
increase of 18.2%.
The most significant category of non-interest income is service charges on deposit accounts. These
fees from continuing operations were $474,000 in the first three months of 2010, compared to
$436,000 for the same period of 2009. This represents an increase of 8.7% from year to year. The
increase is a result of a 14.3% increase in NSF charges collected.
Gain on the sale of mortgage loans originated by the Banks and sold into the secondary market
decreased to $93,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $235,000 in the same
period in 2009. As anticipated in 2009, this was a short term rise in mortgage refinance and it
tapered off as 2009 progressed and has continued into the first quarter of 2010. Management
believes that in 2010, the gain on sale of mortgages will remain similar to the first quarter of
2010, as many refinancing opportunities have already occurred.
Trust, investment and financial planning services income increased $25,000 or 6.9% in the first
three months of 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is attributable
to favorable changes in market value, which result in greater fee income. In addition, more
customers are having their financial portfolios reviewed as they seek higher returning investments
for their money over traditional banking products.
Other operating income increased by $286,000 or 272.4% to $391,000 in the first three months of
2010 compared to $105,000 in the same time period in 2009. The primary driver of the increase was
not having the $515,000 loss on the equity investment in 2010. A reduction of other operating
income was the 2009 benefit received by one of the Banks for proceeds from a bank owned life
insurance policy totaling $203,000. This benefit was not received in 2010.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense from continued operations, decreased 11.1% to $4,567,000 in the three
months ended March 31, 2010, compared with $5,136,000 in the same period of 2009. Decreases in
salaries and benefits, furniture and equipment depreciation and advertising expenses, were
partially offset by increases in loan and collection expenses related to other real estate owned.
30
Salary and benefit costs, the Corporations largest non-interest expense category, were $2,114,000
in the first three months of 2010, compared with $2,552,000, or a decrease of 17.2%, for the same
time period in 2009. The decrease in cost was due to an across-the-board salary cut in the second
quarter of 2009, the elimination of the employer 401(k) match, and the elimination of employee
bonus payments.
Occupancy expenses, at $449,000, decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the
same period in 2009 by $54,000 or 10.7%. The decrease in occupancy expenses is related to
reductions in building repairs and maintenance, primarily due to lower snow removal costs in 2010.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, furniture and equipment expenses were $371,000
compared to $424,000 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of 12.5%. This is the result of
decreases, totaling $32,000, in depreciation on furniture and equipment, as some items have become
fully depreciated. In addition, maintenance of furniture and equipment decreased $21,000.
Management continues to review vendor contracts to improve terms and ensure that only necessary
services are being acquired.
Loan and collection expenses, from continuing operations, at $557,000, were up $172,000 or 44.7%
during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same time period in 2009. The
increase was due to legal services related to non-performing loans. In addition, increases in
other loan expense relating to other real estate owned, in the form of property taxes and property
maintenance increased loan and collection expenses. As the Banks continue to become owners of
these properties, resulting from the unfavorable changing economy in Michigan, we anticipate these
expenses to be above desired levels until the economic situation begins to become more favorable.
Advertising expenses of $28,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased 31.7% compared
with $41,000 for the same period in 2009. The Corporation continues review the sponsorships and
donations shared with the local communities and events. As a result, we have reduced our
advertising in local markets and reduced the level of sponsorships in community events, while still
remaining a participating sponsor.
Other operating expenses, from continued operations, were $1,048,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to $1,231,000 in the same time period in 2009, a decrease of $183,000 or
14.9%. In the first quarter of 2010, FDIC insurance assessments have continued to increase, by
$97,000 over the first quarter of 2009 resulting from the 10 basis point special assessments
approved by the FDIC in 2009. In addition, the expense associated with our general insurance has
increased $60,000 from first quarter 2009 totals. Partially offsetting these increases were
reductions in supplies expense, postage expense, transportation expense, director fees, ATM/Debit
card expenses, business development expenses, conferences and education and other losses.
Financial Condition
Proper management of the volume and composition of the Corporations 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 Corporations
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
Corporations 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 Corporations total assets were $509 million at March 31, 2010 compared to total assets of $522
million at December 31, 2009. This includes assets from discontinued operations of $37 million at
March 31, 2010 and $38 million at December 31, 2009. Loans comprised 67.5% of total assets at
March 31,
31
2010 compared to 68.1% at December 31, 2009. Loans shrank $11.8 million during the first three
months of 2010. On the liability side of the balance sheet, the ratio of non-interest bearing
deposits to total deposits was 15.4% at March 31, 2010 and 14.6% at December 31, 2009. Interest
bearing deposit liabilities totaled $362.9 million at March 31, 2010 compared to $376.2 million at
December 31, 2009. Total deposits decreased $12.0 million with non-interest bearing demand deposits
increasing $1.4 million and interest bearing deposits decreasing $13.3 million. Short-term
borrowings decreased $97,000 due to the decrease in treasury tax and loan payments outstanding at
the end of the two periods. FHLB advances did not change between the two periods.
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. Table 4 reflects the levels of these assets at
March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Non-performing assets decreased from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010. The decrease of
$3,134,000 was primarily due to decreases in non-accrual loans, renegotiated loans and REO in
redemption. These decreases were partially offset by increases in real estate owned. Loans past
due 90 days or more and still accruing increased $83,000 from year end and non-accrual loans
decreased $1,487,000. REO in redemption balance is comprised of six commercial properties and eight
residential properties for a total of $3,693,000 at March 31, 2010. Marketability of these
properties is dependent on the real estate market. Renegotiated loans decreased $1,413,000 from
December 31, 2009 to a total of $2,409,000 at March 31, 2010.

The level and composition of non-performing assets are affected by economic conditions in the
Corporations 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
Corporations operating results. In addition to non-performing loans, management carefully monitors
other credits that
32
are current in terms of principal and interest payments but, in managements
opinion, may deteriorate in quality if economic conditions change.
Certain portions of the Corporations non-performing loans included in Table 4 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 allowance for loan losses.
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.
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 Corporations 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 (short-term borrowings, FHLB advances, other liabilities and shareholders equity)
provided primarily all funding needs in the first three months of 2010. 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.
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 $1.5 million since December 31, 2009 due to the call of one security and
the pay downs of mortgage backed securities. The Corporation has re-invested some of the funds,
from the call of these securities, back into the securities portfolio to increase yield and manage
the asset ratios on the balance sheet. 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 used cash in financing activities resulting primarily from the decrease of
deposits. In the first three months of 2010 deposits decreased $11,986,000. Cash provided by
investing activities was $12,877,000 in first three months of 2010 compared to cash provided of
$14,199,000 in first three months of 2009. The change in investing activities was due to a call on
available for sale securities totaling
33
$1,000,000 and the maturity of $2,809,000 of other available
for sale securities. In addition, payments of loans totaled $10,284,000 of the cash provided by
investing activities.
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 adequately capitalized institutions as those
having total risk-based ratios, tier 1 risk-based capital ratios and tier 1 leverage ratios of at
least 8%, 4%, and 4%, respectively. At March 31, 2010, the Corporation and subsidiary Banks were
in excess of the minimum capital and leverage requirements as defined by federal law, however The
State Bank and West Michigan Community Bank were not in compliance with the capital requirements
prescribed by their respective Consent Orders.
Total shareholders equity decreased 1.4% to $20,243,000 at March 31, 2010 compared with
$20,532,000 at December 31, 2009. The decline was due to a net loss in the first quarter of 2010,
partially offset by improvements to other comprehensive income as noted below. The Corporations
equity to asset ratio was 4.0% at March 31, 2010 and 3.9% at December 31, 2009.
As indicated on the balance sheet at December 31, 2009, the Corporation had an accumulated other
comprehensive loss of $724,000 compared to accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2010
of $562,000. The decrease in the loss position is attributable to a combination of the fluctuation
of the market price of securities held in the available for sale portfolio.
Regulatory Orders
In December 2009, The State Bank entered into a formal enforcement action with federal and state
banking regulators that contain provisions to foster improvement in The State Banks earnings,
lower nonperforming loan levels, increase capital, and require revisions to various policies.
The stipulation and consent to the issuance of a consent order (the Stipulation and Consent)
among The State Bank, the FDIC and the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation
(OFIR) contains several provisions which pertain to The State Banks asset quality.
Specifically, The State Bank is required to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses and to
adopt a plan to reduce The State Banks risk position in each asset in excess of $500,000 which was
then classified as substandard or doubtful. In addition, while the Stipulation and Consent is in
effect, The State Bank may not extend additional credit to any borrower who is already obligated on
any extension of credit that has been charged-off so long as the credit remains uncollected.
Likewise, The State Bank may not extend any additional credit to any borrower whose loan has been
classified as substandard or doubtful and is uncollected, unless The State Banks board of
directors has adopted a plan giving the reasons why such extension of credit is in its best
interest.
The Stipulation and Consent also requires The State Bank to implement or improve certain plans.
Specifically, The State Bank must implement a plan and budget for 2010 and 2011 to improve The
State Banks overall earnings. The State Bank must also adopt a written contingency funding plan
identifying sources of liquid assets to meet contingency funding needs over the near term.
With respect to capital and management generally, The State Bank is required to have and maintain
its level of Tier 1 capital as a percentage of its total assets at a minimum of 8%, its total
capital to total risk-adjusted assets as a minimum of 12%, and not pay or declare any dividends
without the prior consent of the FDIC and the OFIR. The State Bank must also retain qualified
management and obtain approval of the FDIC and the OFIR of any changes in The State Banks
directors or senior executive officers.
A substantially similar formal enforcement action was entered into among West Michigan Community
Bank and its regulators in February 2009. The banks have begun addressing substantially all of the
requirements of the respective enforcement actions.
34
The Corporations primary source of cash to service its subordinated debt is dividends from the
subsidiary banks. As the subsidiary banks are working to preserve capital and not upstream
dividends to the
Holding Company, the Corporation has elected to defer interest payments for five years on
$14,000,000 of subordinated debentures. The reason for the interest deferral is to maintain
liquidity at the Holding Company. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Managements Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based
on the Corporations 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, income taxes, other real estate owned, and investment securities valuation. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level we believe is adequate to absorb probable
losses identified and inherent in the loan portfolio. Our evaluation of the adequacy 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 managements 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 near 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 through 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.
Our accounting for income taxes involves the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities
primarily associated with differences in the timing of the recognition of revenues and expenses for
financial reporting and tax purposes. 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. Management has reviewed the deferred tax position for the Corporation
at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, the Corporation
recognized a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets may be
reversed to income in future periods to the extent that the related 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.
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
35
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 Arrangements
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:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information concerning quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained on
page 61 in the Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, is
incorporated herein 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 simulation modeling. For the first three months of 2010, the
results of these measurement techniques were within the Corporations policy guidelines. The
Corporation does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature of the
Corporations 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 2010 compared to 2009.
The Corporations 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 Corporations 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 Corporations 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 banks interest rate
sensitivity. The Corporation currently does not utilize derivatives in managing interest rate risk.
36
An indicator of the interest rate sensitivity structure of a financial institutions balance sheet
is the difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities, and is referred to
as GAP. Table 5
sets forth the distribution of re-pricing of the Corporations earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities as of March 31, 2010, 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 5, 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 Corporations needs, competitive pressures, and the needs of the Corporations
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, however the yields on
loans decreased slightly. Management worked to re-price loans favorably as they renewed and were
priced accordingly for risk,
37
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 report includes forward-looking statements as that term is used in the securities laws. All
statements regarding our expected financial position, business and strategies are forward-looking
statements. In addition, the words anticipates, believes, estimates, seeks, expects,
plans, intends, and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended
to identify forward-looking statements. The presentation and discussion of the provision and
allowance for loan losses and statements concerning future profitability or future growth or
increases, are examples of inherently forward looking statements in that they involve judgments and
statements of belief as to the outcome of future events. Our ability to predict results or the
actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a
material adverse affect on our operations and our future prospects include, but are not limited to,
changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary
and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal
Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan
products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in our market area and
accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered
in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements. Further information concerning us and our business, including additional factors that
could materially affect our financial results, is included in our other filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
