PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company

        Fentura Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "Fentura") is a financial holding company headquartered in Fenton, Michigan. As of December 31, 2001, Fentura owned two banks, see "The Banks" below. All information in this Item 1 is as of December 31, 2001. The Company's subsidiary banks operate nine community banking offices offering a full range of banking services principally to individuals, small business, and government entities throughout mid-Michigan. At the close of business on December 31, 2001 the Company had assets of $309 million, deposits of $265 million, and shareholders' equity of $38 million. Trust assets under management totaled $55 million.

        Fentura was incorporated in 1987 to serve as the holding company of its sole subsidiary bank, The State Bank ("TSB" or one of the "Banks"). TSB traces its origins to its predecessor, The Commercial Savings Bank of Fenton, which was incorporated in 1898. See "The Banks". On March 13, 2000 a second bank subsidiary, Davison State Bank ("DSB" or one of the "Banks") commenced operation.

        In August of 2000 Fentura converted from a bank holding company to a financial holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding Company Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act"). The Company has corporate power to engage in such activities as are permitted to business corporations under the Michigan Business Corporation Act, subject to the limitations of the Bank Holding Company Act and GLB Act and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. In general, the Bank Holding Company Act and regulations restrict the Company with respect to its own activities that are closely related to the business of banking. The GLB Act and regulations expand the authority of bank holding companies that are also financial holding companies allowing them to enter into business combinations with other financial institutions, including insurance companies, and securities firms to create a single financial services organization in order to offer customers a more complete array of financial products and services. See "Supervision and Regulation."

        The Company's principal executive offices are located at 175 North Leroy, Fenton, Michigan 48430-0725, and its telephone number is (810) 750-8725.

The Banks

        TSB's original predecessor was incorporated as a state banking corporation under the laws of Michigan on September 16, 1898 under the name "The Commercial Savings Bank of Fenton." In 1931, it changed its name to State Savings Bank of Fenton, and in 1988 became The State Bank. For over 100 years TSB has been engaged in the general banking business in the Fenton, Michigan area. Its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), but it is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. As a state bank, it is subject to federal and state laws applicable to banks and to regulation and supervision by the FDIC and the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services, Division of Financial Institutions. See "Supervision and Regulation."

        DSB commenced operations on March 13, 2000, and is engaged in the general banking business in the Davison, Michigan area. Its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), but it is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. As a state bank, it is subject to federal and state laws applicable to banks and to regulation and supervision by the FDIC and the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services, Division of Financial Institutions. See "Supervision and Regulation."

        Both Banks are community-oriented providers of financial services engaged in the business of general commercial banking. Their activities include investing in state and federal securities, accepting demand deposits, savings and other time deposits, extending retail, commercial, consumer and real estate loans to individuals and businesses, providing safe deposit boxes and credit card services, transmitting funds and providing other services generally associated with full service commercial banking. Lending is focused on individuals and small businesses in the local market regions of the Banks. In addition, TSB operates a trust department offering a full range of fiduciary services.

        TSB is headquartered in the City of Fenton, Michigan, and considers its primary service area to be portions of Genesee, Oakland, and Livingston counties in Michigan. As of December 31, 2001, TSB operated five offices in the City of Fenton, Michigan, one office in the City of Linden, Michigan, one office in the Village of Holly, Michigan, and one office in the Township of Grand Blanc, Michigan. Its main office is located downtown Fenton.

        DSB is headquartered in the Township of Davison, Michigan, and considers its primary service area to be portions of Genesee and Lapeer Counties. As of December 31, 2001, DSB operated two offices in the Township of Davison, Michigan.

        As of December 31, 2001, TSB employed 112 full time personnel, including 32 officers, and an additional 26 part time employees. TSB considers its employee relations to be excellent.

        As of December 31, 2001, DSB employed 10 full time personnel, including 3 officers, and an additional 6 part time employees. DSB considers its employee relations to be excellent.

Competition

        The financial services industry is highly competitive. The Banks compete with other commercial banks, many of which are subsidiaries of bank holding companies, for loans, deposits, trust accounts, and other business on the basis of interest rates, fees, convenience and quality of service. The Banks also compete with a variety of other financial services organizations including savings and loan associations, finance companies, mortgage banking companies, brokerage firms, credit unions and other financial organizations. Many of the Banks' competitors have substantially greater resources than the Banks.

Supervision and Regulation

        The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting the Company and the Banks. This summary is qualified in its entirety by such statutes and regulations. A change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on the Company, the Banks and the business of the Company and the Banks.

General

        Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated under federal and state law. Consequently, the growth and earnings performance of the Company and the Banks can be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the statutes administered by, and the regulations and policies of, various governmental regulatory authorities. Those authorities include, but are not limited to, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), the FDIC, the Commissioner of the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services ("Commissioner"), the Internal Revenue Service, and state taxing authorities. The effect of such statutes, regulations and policies can be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty.

        Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial institutions and their holding companies regulate, among other things, the scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital levels relative to operations, lending activities and practices, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system of supervision and regulation applicable to the Company and the Banks establishes a comprehensive framework for their respective operations and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC's deposit insurance funds, the depositors of the Banks, and the public, rather than shareholders of the Banks or the Company.


4



        Federal law and regulations establish supervisory standards applicable to the lending activities of the Banks, including internal controls, credit underwriting, loan documentation and loan-to-value ratios for loans secured by real property.

The Company

        General . In August of 2000, the Company became a financial holding company, within the meaning of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 ("GLB Act"), and is registered with, and subject to regulation by, the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended (the "BHCA"). Under the BHCA, the Company is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve Board, and is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board periodic reports of its operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require.

        In accordance with Federal Reserve Board policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Banks and to commit resources to support the Banks in circumstances where the Company might not do so absent such policy. In addition, if the Commissioner deems a Bank's capital to be impaired, the Commissioner may require the Bank to restore its capital by a special assessment upon the Company as the Bank's sole shareholder. If the Company were to fail to pay any such assessment, the directors of the Bank would be required, under Michigan law, to sell the shares of the Bank's stock owned by the Company to the highest bidder at either a public or private auction and use the proceeds of the sale to restore the Bank's capital.

        Investments and Activities . In general, any direct or indirect acquisition by the Company of any voting shares of any bank which would result in the Company's direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares of such bank, and any merger or consolidation of the Company with another financial holding company or bank holding company, will require the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA. No Federal Reserve Board approval is required for the Company to acquire a company, other than a bank holding company or bank, engaged in activities that are financial in nature as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.

        The merger or consolidation of an existing bank subsidiary of the Company with another bank, or the acquisition by such a subsidiary of assets of another bank, or the assumption of liability by such a subsidiary to pay any deposits in another bank, will require the prior written approval of the responsible Federal depository institution regulatory agency under the Bank Merger Act. In addition, in certain such cases an application to, and the prior approval of, the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA and/or the Commissioner under the Michigan Banking Code, may be required.

        Financial holding companies, such as the Company, may engage in various lending, advisory, insurance and insurance underwriting, securities underwriting, dealing and market making, and merchant banking activities (as well as those activities previously approved for bank holding companies by the Federal Reserve Board) together with such other activities as may be determined by the Federal Reserve Board (in coordination with other regulatory authorities) to be financial in nature, incidental to any such financial activity, or complementary to any such financial activity, and which do not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. In order to maintain the benefits and flexibility of being a financial holding company, each of the Company's subsidiary depository institutions must continue to be "well-capitalized" and "well-managed" under applicable regulatory standards and each subsidiary depository institution must maintain at least a satisfactory or above Community Reinvestment Act rating.

        Capital Requirements . The Federal Reserve Board uses capital adequacy guidelines in its examination and regulation of bank holding companies. If capital falls below minimum guidelines, a bank holding company may, among other things, be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses.


5



        The Federal Reserve Board's capital guidelines establish the following minimum regulatory capital requirements for bank holding companies: (i) a leverage capital requirement expressed as a percentage of total average assets, and (ii) a risk-based requirement expressed as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets. The leverage capital requirement consists of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital (which consists principally of shareholders' equity) to total average assets of 3% for the most highly rated companies, with minimum requirements of 4% to 5% for all others. The risk-based requirement consists of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8%, of which at least one-half must be Tier 1 capital.

        Dividends . The Company is a corporation separate and distinct from the Banks. Most of the Company's revenues are received by it in the form of dividends paid by the Banks. Thus, the Company's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is indirectly limited by statutory restrictions on the Banks' ability to pay dividends described below. Further, in a policy statement, the Federal Reserve Board has expressed its view that a bank holding company experiencing earnings weaknesses should not pay cash dividends exceeding its net income or which can only be funded in ways that weaken the bank holding company's financial health, such as by borrowing. Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies. Similar enforcement powers over the Banks are possessed by the FDIC. The "prompt corrective action" provisions of federal law and regulation authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to restrict the payment of dividends by the Company for an insured bank which fails to meet specified capital levels.

        In addition to the restrictions on dividends imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, the Michigan Business Corporation Act provides that dividends may be legally declared or paid only if after the distribution a corporation, such as the Company, can pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business and its total assets equal or exceed the sum of its liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any holders of preferred stock whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.

The Banks

        General . The Banks are Michigan banking corporations, and their deposit accounts are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") of the FDIC. As a BIF insured Michigan chartered banks, the Banks are subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the Commissioner, as the chartering authority for Michigan banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of BIF. These agencies and the federal and state laws applicable to the Banks and their operations, extensively regulate various aspects of the banking business including, among other things, permissible types and amounts of loans, investments and other activities, capital adequacy, branching, interest rates on loans and on deposits, the maintenance of non-interest bearing reserves on deposit accounts, and the safety and soundness of banking practices.

        Deposit Insurance . As FDIC-insured institutions, the Banks are required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums, based upon their respective levels of capital and results of supervisory evaluation. Institutions classified as well-capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest premium. Risk classification of all insured institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.


6



        The Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA") requires the FDIC to establish assessment rates at levels which will maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund at a mandated reserve ratio of not less than 1.25% of estimated insured deposits. For several years, the BIF reserve ratio has been at or above the mandated ratio and assessments have ranged from 0% of deposits for institutions in the lowest risk category to .27% of deposits in the highest risk category. However, there is speculation that the reserve may fall below the mandated ratio resulting in increased assessments in the second half of 2002.

        FICO Assessments . The Banks, as members of the BIF, are subject to assessments to cover the payments on outstanding obligations of the Financing Corporation ("FICO"). FICO was created to finance the recapitalization of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, the predecessor to the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") which insures the deposits of thrift institutions. From now until the maturity of the outstanding FICO obligations in 2019, BIF members and SAIF members will share the cost of the interest on the FICO bonds on a pro rata basis. It is estimated that FICO assessments during this period will be less than 0.025% of deposits.

        Commissioner Assessments . Michigan banks are required to pay supervisory fees to the Commissioner to fund the operations of the Commissioner. The amount of supervisory fees paid by a bank is based upon the bank's total assets, as reported to the Commissioner.

        Capital Requirements . The FDIC has established the following minimum capital standards for state-chartered, FDIC insured non-member banks, such as the Banks: a leverage requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total average assets of 3% for the most highly-rated banks with minimum requirements of 4% to 5% for all others, and a risk-based capital requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders' equity. These capital requirements are minimum requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual institutions.

        Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," or "critically undercapitalized." Federal regulations define these capital categories as follows:

                                        Total                Tier 1
                                        Risk-Based           Risk-Based
                                        Capital Ratio        Capital Ratio         Leverage Ratio

Well capitalized                        10% or above         6% or above           5% or above
Adequately capitalized                    8% or above        4% or above           4% or above
Undercapitalized                        Less than 8%         Less than 4%          Less than 4%
Significantly undercapitalized          Less than 6%         Less than 3%          Less than 3%
Critically undercapitalized                       --                   --          A ratio of tangible
                                                                                   equity to total assets
                                                                                   of 2% or less

        As of December 31, 2001, each of the Banks' ratios exceeded minimum requirements for the well capitalized category.

        Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators' corrective powers include: requiring the submission of a capital restoration plan; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities; requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions with affiliates; restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; ordering a new election of directors of the institution; requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution.


7



        In general, a depository institution may be reclassified to a lower category than is indicated by its capital levels if the appropriate federal depository institution regulatory agency determines the institution to be otherwise in an unsafe or unsound condition or to be engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice. This could include a failure by the institution, following receipt of a less-than-satisfactory rating on its most recent examination report, to correct the deficiency.

        Dividends . Under Michigan law, the Banks are restricted as to the maximum amount of dividends they may pay on their common stock. The Banks may not pay dividends except out of net income after deducting their losses and bad debts. A Michigan state bank may not declare or pay a dividend unless the bank will have surplus amounting to at least 20% of its capital after the payment of the dividend.

        Federal law generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. The FDIC may prevent an insured bank from paying dividends if the bank is in default of payment of any assessment due to the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC may prohibit the payment of dividends by an insured bank, if such payment is determined, by reason of the financial condition of the bank, to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice.

        Insider Transactions . The Banks are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to the Company or its subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company or its subsidiaries and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company or its subsidiaries as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by the Banks to their directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, to principal shareholders of the Company, and to "related interests" of such directors, officers and principal shareholders. In addition, federal law and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a director or officer of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or a principal shareholder of the Company may obtain credit from banks with which the Banks maintain a correspondent relationship.

        Safety and Soundness Standards . The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. These guidelines establish standards for internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and earnings.

        Investments and Other Activities . Under federal law and FDIC regulations, FDIC -insured state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from making or retaining equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not permissible for a national bank. Federal law, as implemented by FDIC regulations, also prohibits FDIC insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank or its subsidiary, respectively, unless the bank meets, and continues to meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines the activity would not pose a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund of which the bank is a member. Impermissible investments and activities must be divested or discontinued within certain time frames set by the FDIC in accordance with federal law. These restrictions are not currently expected to have a material impact on the operations of the Banks.

        Consumer Protection Laws . The Banks' businesses include making a variety of types of loans to individuals. In making these loans, the Banks are subject to State usury and regulatory laws and to various federal statutes, including the privacy of consumer financial information provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, which prohibit discrimination, specify disclosures to be made to borrowers regarding credit and settlement costs, and regulate the mortgage loan servicing activities of the Banks, including the maintenance and operation of escrow accounts and the transfer of mortgage loan servicing. In receiving deposits, the Banks are subject to extensive regulation under State and federal law and regulations, including the Truth in Savings Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Violation of these laws could result in the imposition of significant damages and fines upon the Bank and its directors and officers.


8



        Branching Authority . Michigan banks, such as the Banks, have the authority under Michigan law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Michigan, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Banks may establish interstate branch networks through acquisitions of other banks. The establishment of de novo interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed only if specifically authorized by state law.

        Michigan permits both U.S. and non-U.S. banks to establish branch offices in Michigan. The Michigan Banking Code permits, in appropriate circumstances and with the approval of the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services, Division of Financial Institutions, (1) acquisition of Michigan banks by FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states, (2) sale by a Michigan bank of branches to an FDIC-insured bank, savings bank or savings and loan association located in a state in which a Michigan bank could purchase branches of the purchasing entity, (3) consolidation of Michigan banks and FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states having laws permitting such consolidation, (4) establishment of branches in Michigan by FDIC-insured banks located in other states, the District of Columbia or U.S. territories or protectorates having laws permitting a Michigan bank to establish a branch in such jurisdiction, and (5) establishment by foreign banks of branches located in Michigan.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

        On March 26,2001, the Company dismissed Grant Thornton LLP as the Company's principal accountants. The former accountants' reports on the Company's financial statements for the past two years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 2000 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company and by its Board of Directors. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods, preceding the dismissal, there were no disagreements with the former accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountants, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report. No "reportable events" as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) occurred within the Company's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim periods preceding the former accountants dismissal.

        On March 26,2001, the Company engaged Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP as its principal accountants to audit the Company's financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2001. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period prior to engaging the new accountants, the Company did not consult with the newly engaged accountants regarding any of the matters described in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii).

        The letter of the former accountants required by Items 304(a)(3) was filed as Exhibit 16 to the Company's report on Form 8-K reporting the change in certifying accountants and is incorporated in this Report by reference.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




Board of Directors and Stockholders
Fentura Bancorp, Inc.
Fenton, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Fentura Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and the related consolidated statements of income, statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as of and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000 were audited by other auditors whose report dated January 26, 2001, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 2001 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fentura Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FENTURA BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2001 and 2000



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Fentura Bancorp, Inc. (The Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The State Bank in Fenton, Michigan and Davison State Bank in Davison, Michigan (the Banks). Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Davison State Bank was formed March 13, 2000 as a de novo bank resulting from the spin-off of two existing branches of The State Bank. This transaction was accounted for at historical cost and therefore did not have any effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The Corporation provides banking and trust services principally to individuals, small businesses and governmental entities through its nine community banking offices in Genesee, Livingston and Oakland Counties in eastern Michigan. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. Other financial instruments which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair values of securities, fair values of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change.

Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, deposits with other financial institutions under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit transactions.

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. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with changes in unrealized holding gains and losses included in income. Other securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock are carried at cost.



10.




NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. 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.

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoffs are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market, on an aggregate basis.

Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired or payments are past due over 90 days (180 days for residential mortgages). Payments received on such loans are reported as principal reductions.

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

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.

Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from 3 to 50 years.



11.




NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at discounted amounts.

Stock Compensation: Employee compensation expense under stock option plans is reported if options are granted below market price at grant date. Pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share are shown using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 to measure expense for options granted after 1994, using an option pricing model to estimate fair value.

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, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and dividends through the date of issue of the financial statements.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

New Accounting Pronouncements: A new accounting standard requires all business combinations to be recorded using the purchase method of accounting for any transaction initiated after June 30, 2001. Under the purchase method, all identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the acquired company must be recorded at fair value at date of acquisition, and the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets must be separated from goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives will be amortized under the new standard, whereas goodwill, both amounts previously recorded and future amounts purchased, will cease being amortized starting in 2002. Annual impairment testing will be required for goodwill with impairment being recorded if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Adoption of this standard on January 1, 2002 did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.



12.




NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $5,324,000 and $3,123,000 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year end 2001 and 2000. These balances do not earn interest.

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the banks to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments: While the Corporation’s chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various Corporation products and services, the identifiable segments are not material and operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Corporate-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

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

Stock options for 6,841, 10,176, and 8,832 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for 2001, 2000, and 1999 because they were antidilutive.

NOTE 9 - BENEFIT PLANS

The Corporation has a noncontributory discretionary employee stock ownership plan (Plan) covering substantially all of its employees. It is a requirement of the plan to invest principally in the Corporation's common stock. The contribution to the Plan in 2001, 2000, and 1999 was $100,000, $120,000, and $120,000, respectively.

The Corporation has also established a 401(k) Plan in which 50% of the employees' contribution can be matched with a discretionary contribution by the Corporation up to a maximum of 6% of gross wages. The contribution to the 401(k) Plan for 2001, 2000, and 1999 was $84,000, $79,000 and $80,000, respectively.

NOTE 10 - STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION PLANS

Director and Employee Plans

On December 26, 2001, the Corporation announced a stock repurchase plan of 50,000 shares of its common stock.

The Directors Stock Purchase Plan permits directors of the Corporation to purchase shares of common stock made available for purchase under the plan at the fair market value on the fifteenth day prior to the annual issuance date. The total number of shares issuable under this plan is limited to 9,600 shares in any calendar year.

The Retainer Stock Plan allows directors to elect to receive shares of common stock in full or partial payment of the director's retainer fees and fees for attending meetings. The number of shares is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees to be paid in shares by the market value of the stock on the first business day prior to the payment date.

The Executive Stock Bonus Plan permits the administrator of the plan to grant shares of the Corporation's common stock to eligible employees. Any executive or managerial level employee is eligible to receive grants under the plan. The Board of Directors administers the plan.

Dividend Investment Plan

The Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") permits enrolled shareholders to automatically use dividends paid on common stock to purchase additional shares of the Corporation's common stock at the fair market value on the investment date. Any shareholder who is the beneficial or record owner of not more than 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation's common stock is eligible to participate in the plan.



21.




NOTE 10 - STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION PLANS (Continued)

Pursuant to a separate agreement with a family who collectively holds more than 9.9% of the Corporation's stock on or prior to January 31 of each year beginning January 31, 1997, the Corporation is to advise the family, in a written notice, of the number of shares sold under the DRIP. Each family member will have the option, until February 28 of the same year, to purchase from the Corporation one-third of the total number of shares that would be sufficient to prevent the dilution to all family members as a group that result solely as a result of the DRIP shares. The purchase price under this agreement is the fair market value on December 31 of the year immediately preceding the year in which the written notice is given.

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 6,720 shares of stock may be granted under the Plan in any calendar year and options to acquire not more than 67,200 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 72,000 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.

The following summarizes shares issued under the various plans:

                                                            2001            2000           1999

Proforma net income includes compensation cost for the Corporation's stock option plan 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 2001 were as follows: an expected life of 10 years, a dividend yield of 3%, a risk free return of 6.88% and expected volatility of 52%.

NOTE 11 - 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 Bank's 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.



24.




NOTE 11 - REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and 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). Management believes, as of December 31, 2001, that the Corporation and the Banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the most recent notifications from Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Corporation and the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Corporation and the Banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since the notifications that management believes have changed the Banks' category.

NOTE 12 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

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 (including mortgage-backed securities)
Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans held for sale The market value of these loans represents estimated fair value. The market value is determined in the aggregate on the basis of existing forward commitments or fair values attributable to similar loans.

Loans
For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Off-balance-sheet instruments
The Corporation's off-balance-sheet instruments approximate their fair values.

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, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.



27.




NOTE 12 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

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.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on management's judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Off-balance-sheet risk
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk was as follows at year end.

                                                                          2001           2000
                                                                          ----           ----
     Commitments to make loans (at market rates)                     $    21,096     $     5,856
     Unused lines of credit and letters of credit                         41,359          38,328

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 90 days or less. At December 31, 2001, $3,789,000 of the outstanding loan commitments had fixed interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 8.5% and maturities ranging from one year to five years.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Corporation achieved net income of $3,777,000 for the year of 2001. Net Income for 2001 decreased $439,000 or 10.4%. Net income decreased primarily due to the eleven interest rate drops during 2001. Contributing to the 2001 results was the increase in other operating income of $835,000 or 18.4%. Non-interest expense increased by $264,000 or 2.3%. The Corporation anticipates that the interest rate environment will improve throughout 2002, which should have a positive impact on operations.

Standard performance indicators used in the banking industry help Management evaluate the Corporation’s performance. Two of these performance indicators are return on average assets and return on average equity. For 2001, 2000, and 1999 respectively, the Corporation posted a return on average assets of 1.23%, 1.42%, and 1.46%. Return on average equity was 10.01% in 2001, 12.56% in 2000, and 12.66% in 1999. Equity increased 7.5% in 2001, which will allow the Corporation to continue its growth strategy. Total assets increased $16 million in 2001, $9 million in 2000, and $9 million in 1999. Basic earnings per share were $2.18 in 2001, $2.46 in 2000, and $2.36 in 1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, the principal source of income, is the amount of interest income generated by earning assets (principally securities and loans) less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities (largely deposits and other borrowings).

A critical task of management is to price assets and liabilities so that the spread between the interest earned on assets and the interest paid on liabilities is maximized without unacceptable risk. While interest rates on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are subject to market forces, in general, the Corporation can exert more control over deposit costs than earning assets rates. Loan products carry either fixed rates of interest or rates tied to market indices determined independently. The Corporation sets its own rates on deposits, providing management with some flexibility in determining the timing and proportion of rate changes for the cost of its deposits.

Table 2 summarizes the changes in net interest income resulting from changes in volume and rates for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Net interest income (displayed with consideration of full tax equivalency), average balance sheet amounts, and the corresponding yields for the last three years are shown in Table 3. Net interest income decreased $979,000 in 2001, or 7.1% as compared with an increase of $318,000 or 2.3% in 2000. The primary factor contributing to the decrease in net interest income in 2001 was the eleven prime rate cuts during 2001, which reduced interest income more than the reduction in interest expense. In 2000, the primary factor contributing to the increase in net interest income was the reduction of interest expense. Interest expense was reduced even though interest-bearing liabilities increased. This reduction in expense occurred because of continuing progress in promoting lower cost core deposits while reducing reliance on higher rate retail or negotiated certificates of deposit as well as the re-pricing that occurred on maturing certificates of deposit in response to earlier drops in prime rates.

As indicated in Table 3, for the year ended December 31, 2001, the Corporation’s net interest margin was 4.53% compared with 5.07% and 5.32% for the same period in 2000 and 1999 respectively, and continues to remain substantially above peer performance. The decrease in margin in 2001 is attributable to a decrease in the Corporation’s earning assets yields due to the cuts in the prime rate. Cost of funding decreased in response to decreases in treasury rates and local competitor’s rates. The increase in net interest income in 2000 and in 1999 is attributable to the change in balance sheet mix achieved through growth and the continued emphasis on lowering the cost of funds outlined in the paragraph above. Management anticipates steady loan growth and accordingly, growth in net interest income in 2002.

Average earning assets increased 4.0% in 2001, 7.4% in 2000, and 2.9% in 1999. Loans, the highest yielding component of earning assets, represented 71.1% of earning assets in 2001, compared to 72.3% in 2000 and 69.9% in 1999. Average interest bearing liabilities increased 1.4% in 2001, 7.0% in 2000, and 2.5% in 1999. Non-interest bearing deposits amounted to 13.7% of average earning assets in 2001 compared with 13.1% in 2000 and 11.7% in 1999.

The allowance for loan losses reflects management’s judgment as to the level considered appropriate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Corporation’s methodology in determining the adequacy of the allowance includes a review of individual loans, size and composition of the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, current economic conditions, financial condition of borrowers, the level and composition of non-performing loans, portfolio trends, estimated net charge-offs, and other pertinent factors. Although reserves have been allocated to various portfolio segments, the allowance is general in nature and is available for the portfolio in its entirety. At December 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses was $3,125,000 or 1.46% of total loans. This compares with $2,932,000 or 1.50% at December 31, 2000 and $2,961,000, or 1.55%, at December 31, 1999. The Corporation has lowered the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans because of an improvement in overall asset quality.

The provision for loan losses was $751,000 in 2001 and $584,000 and $545,000 in 2000 and 1999 respectively. The increase in the provision in 2001 reflects management’s effort to maintain adequate reserves commensurate with loan growth. Loans charged-off increased in 2000 because of a non-repetitive, substantial charge-off on a non-performing commercial loan and an increase in loans charged-off in the indirect loan portfolio. This increased charge-off level resulted in an increase in provision for loan losses. The decrease in the provision in 1999 reflected an improvement in asset quality and a reduction in loans charged-off from the prior year.

Table 4 summarizes loan losses and recoveries from 1999 through 2001. During 2001 the Corporation experienced net charge-offs of $558,000, compared with net charge-offs of $613,000 and $367,000 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The net charge-off ratio is the net of charge-off loans minus the recoveries from loans divided by gross loans. Accordingly, the net charge-off ratio for 2001 was .28% compared to .31% and .19% at the end of 2000 and 1999, respectively. The net charge-off ratio decreased slightly due to fewer charge-offs from the commercial and consumer portfolios in 2001. The net charge-off ratio increased in 2000 primarily due to a write down on a non-performing commercial loan. The net charge-off ratio decreased significantly in 1999 due to an increase in overall asset quality.

The Corporation maintains formal policies and procedures to control and monitor credit risk. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to meet normal credit risks 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 credit losses. Management continues to identify and devote attention to credits that may not be performing as agreed. Because of these factors and the uncertainty of economic conditions, management expects to maintain the current level of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans in 2002. Non-performing loans are discussed further in the section titled “Non-Performing Assets”.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income was $5,363,000 in 2001, $4,528,000 and $4,262,000 in 2000 and 1999 respectively. These amounts represent an increase of 18.4% in 2001 compared to 2000 and an increase of 6.2% comparing 2000 to 1999.

The most significant category of non-interest income is service charges on deposit accounts. These fees were $2,286,000 in 2001, compared to $1,915,000 and $1,972,000 in 2000 and 1999 respectively. This is an increase of $371,000 or 19.4% in 2001 and a decrease of $57,000 or 2.9% in 2000. In 2001, the increase was due to higher overdraft charges and deposit account service charges being higher due to deposit growth. The decrease in 2000 is attributable to higher individual checking and saving account balances offsetting service charges.

Gains on the sale of mortgage loans originated by the Bank and sold in the secondary market were $659,000 in 2001, $179,000 in 2000, and $108,000 in 1999. The 268.2% increase in 2001 is due to the increase in mortgage loan production because of the low interest rates during the year and an increase in loans sold in the secondary market. The 65.7% increase in 2000 is attributable to increases in mortgage loans made and subsequently sold in the secondary market due to an increase in new home purchase activity. The Corporation sells the majority of the mortgage loans originated in the secondary market on a servicing released basis; thus the Corporation did not receive mortgage-servicing fees in 2001. The fees increased from $153,000 in 1999 to $631,000 in 2000. The increase is attributable to a gain on the sale of mortgage servicing rights associated with loans previously sold in the secondary market.

Trust income decreased $129,000 in 2001 to $566,000 compared to $695,000 in 2000 and $581,000 in 1999. The 18.6% decrease in 2001 is due to a drop in assets under management and the market value of these assets. The increases in the prior years were attributable to growth in the assets under management within the Corporation’s Investment Trust Department and the market value of assets under management.

In 2001, the Corporation recognized a $674,000 gain on security transactions compared to no gains in 2000, and $24,000 in security gains in 1999. These gains are a result of several transactions wherein the Corporation sold investment securities and reinvested in issues, which will provide greater total income potential.

Other income and fees includes income from the sale of checks, safe deposit box rent, merchant account income, ATM income, and other miscellaneous income items. Other income and fees was $1,178,000 in 2001 compared to $1,108,000 and $1,424,000 in 2000 and 1999 respectively. The increase in 2001 is due to an increase in income from the sale of official checks. The decrease in 2000 compared to 1999 is primarily attributable to a one-time gain representing a premium received for deposits sold in connection with a branch sale.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Total non-interest expense was $11,700,000 in 2001 compared to $11,436,000 in 2000 and $11,136,000 in 1999. This is an increase of 2.3% in 2001 and 2.7% in 2000.

Salaries and employee benefits, the Corporation’s largest other operating expense category, were $5,988,000 in 2001, compared with $5,801,000 in 2000, and $5,564,000 in 1999. Increased costs are a result of annual salary increases and staff additions in connection with the spin-off of two branches to form Davison State Bank.

In 2001, equipment expenses were $1,411,000 compared to $1,552,000 in 2000 and $1,429,000 in 1999, a decrease of 9.1% in 2001 and an increase of 8.6% in 2000. The decrease is attributable to equipment maintenance costs. Equipment maintenance expense decreased due to better-negotiated contracts in 2001. The increase in 2000 is attributable to depreciation costs. Depreciation expense increased in connection with equipment leases and purchases including a new mainframe system.

Occupancy expenses associated with the Corporation’s facilities were $886,000 in 2001 compared to $784,000 in 2000 and $797,000 in 1999. In 2001, this is an increase of 13.0% and in 2000 a decrease of 1.6%. The increase in 2001 is due to the opening of the new main office of Davison State Bank and the new Grand Blanc office of The State Bank. The decrease in 2000 is attributable to lower lease expense as a result of a sale of a leased branch in 1999.

Office supplies were $300,000 in 2001 compared to $311,000 in 2000 and $ 274,000 in 1999. In 2001, this is a decrease of 3.5% and in 2000 an increase of 13.5 %. The increase in 2000 is attributable to the opening of Davison State Bank and printing with new logo and new name for the spin-off on letterhead and other various office supplies. The decrease in 2001 is due to the reduction of office supplies expenses from 2000 where expenses were higher for the initial supplies for the new Davison State Bank.

Loan and collection expenses were $178,000 in 2001 compared to $289,000 in 2000, and $373,000 in 1999. The decrease of $111,000 or 38.4% is due to the decrease in dealer service fees paid in connection with indirect auto lending. The $84,000 or 22.5% decrease in 2000 is attributable to a decrease in dealer service fees paid in connection with indirect auto lending and a decrease in fees paid by the Corporation for the origination of home equity loans.

Advertising expenses were $320,000 in 2001 compared to $263,000 in 2000, and $257,000 in 1999. The increase of $57,000 or 21.7% is due to the promotion of the new Davison State Bank and the promotion of the new Grand Blanc office of The State Bank. The $6,000 or 2.3% increase from 1999 to 2000 is due to the regular cost increases of advertising.

The makeup of other professional fees includes audit fees, consulting fees, legal fees, and various other professional services. Other professional services were $1,144,000 in 2001 compared to $1,000,000 in 2000, and $804,000 in 1999. The increase of $144,000 or 14.4% was attributable to the costs of researching a potential stock offering for Davison State Bank and increases in audit and legal fees for both banks. In 2000, the increase of $196,000 or 24.4% was due to the legal fees for the startup of Davison State Bank.

Other general and administrative expenses were $1,473,000 in 2001 compared to $1,436,000 in 2000, and $1,638,000 in 1999. These expenses were higher in 2001 because of an increase in other losses from charged off accounts and increases in check processing costs. The decrease in 2000 is due to lower costs for check production.

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 generate an income stream with relatively low levels of principal risk. The Corporation does not engage in securities trading. Loans comprise the largest component of earning assets and are the Corporation’s highest yielding assets. Client deposits are the primary source of funding for earning assets while short-term debt and other sources of funds could be utilized if market conditions and liquidity needs change.

The Corporation’s total assets averaged $307 million for 2001 exceeding 2000’s average of $296 million by $11 million or 3.7%. Average loans comprised 65.9% of total average assets during 2001 compared to 66.8% in 2000. Loans grew $4.4 million on average with commercial loans leading the advance by $17.4 million or 16.6%. The ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 14.7% in 2001 compared to 14.2% during 2000. Interest bearing deposits comprised 99.0% of total average interest bearing liabilities during 2001, increased from 95.8% during 2000. The Corporation’s yearend total assets were $309 million for 2001 up from $293 million in 2000. The increase is due to the loan demand being high during 2001.

SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

Securities totaled $39,167,000 at December 31, 2001 compared to $65,882,000 at December 31, 2000. This is a decrease of $26,715,000 or 40.5% and the decrease in 2001 resulted principally from the selling of securities throughout the year. As management chose to capture the gain available in the securities portfolio to offset a portion of the net interest income compression. At December 31, 2001 these securities comprised 14.1% of earning assets, down from 24.8% at December 31, 2000. The Corporation considers all of its securities as available for sale except for Michigan tax-exempt securities, which are classified as held to maturity. Increases in loan balances from new loan growth in excess of the amount of deposit growth, coupled with the decrease in securities in 2001 accounts for the increase in federal funds sold.

The Corporation’s present policies with respect to the classification of securities are discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2001, the estimated aggregate fair value of the Corporation’s securities portfolio was $272,000 above amortized cost. At December 31, 2001 gross unrealized gains were $362,000 and gross unrealized losses were $90,000. A summary of estimated fair values and unrealized gains and losses for the major components of the securities portfolio is provided in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

LOAN PORTFOLIO

The Corporation extends credit primarily within in its local markets in Genesee, Oakland, and Livingston counties. The Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio is widely diversified with no concentration within a single industry that exceeds 10% of total loans. The Corporation’s respective loan portfolio balances are summarized in Table 6.

Total loans increased $18,829,000 at December 31, 2001, with total loans comprising 76.5% of earning assets as compared to 72.5% of December 31, 2000 earning assets. Local economic conditions remained reasonably steady throughout 2001. The steadiness of the local economy supported continued commercial business growth including commercial development. Accordingly, the Corporation experienced strong demand for commercial loans. In 2001, commercial loans increased approximately $16,969,000 to $118,894,000 or 16.6%. Additionally, real estate construction and development loans increased $7,963,000 or 45.6% to $25,434,000 at December 31, 2001. Consumer loans decreased in 2001 while real estate mortgage loans increased approximately $644,000 due to an increase in new mortgage volume because of refinance activity with lower interest rates. In 2000, real estate construction and development loans increased $4,990,000 or 40% to $17,471,000 at December 31, 2000. Consumer loans increased modestly in 2000 while real estate mortgage loans decreased due to the sale of approximately $10,000,000 in fixed rate mortgage loans in the last quarter of 2000.

Management expects the local economy to support continued growth and development in 2002 and will aggressively seek out new loan opportunities while continuing to maintain sound credit quality.

The Corporation originates primarily residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial, construction, and consumer loans. The Corporation estimates that 80% of the loan portfolio is based in Genesee and Livingston counties within southeast Michigan. The ability of the Corporation’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in the area

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Non-performing assets include loans on which interest accruals have ceased, loans which have been re-negotiated, real estate acquired through foreclosure, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. Table 8 represents the levels of these assets at December 31, 1997 through 2001.

The improvement in total non-performing assets at December 31, 2001 compared to 2000 is attributable to reduction in non-accrual and past due loans accruing over 90 days. This is due to the improvement in loan quality over the past few years. The improvement or decrease in non-performing loans in 2000 as compared to 1999 is attributable to the sale and disposition of other real estate owned and in redemption.

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.

The following describes the Corporation’s policy and related disclosures for impaired loans. The Corporation maintains an allowance for impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when management determines it is probable that the principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected. In most instances, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impairment may also be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Interest income on impaired non-accrual loans is recognized on a cash basis. Interest income on all other impaired loans is recorded on an accrual basis.

Certain of the Corporation’s non-performing loans included in Table 8 are considered impaired. The Corporation measures impairment on all large balance non-accrual commercial loans. Certain large balance accruing loans rated substandard or worse are also measured for impairment. Impairment losses are adequately covered by the provision for loan losses. The policy does not apply to large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include certain smaller balance commercial loans, consumer loans, residential real estate loans, and credit card loans, and are not included in the impaired loan data in the following paragraphs.

At December 31, 2001, loans considered to be impaired totaled $2,880,000. All amounts included within impaired loans required specific allowance. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $2,597,000 in 2001. The interest income recognized on impaired loans based on cash collections totaled $142,000 during 2001.

At December 31, 2000, loans considered to be impaired totaled $2,315,000. All amounts included in impaired loans required specific allowance. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $1,932,000 in 2000. The interest income recognized on impaired loans based on cash collections totaled $146,000 during 2000.

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 and charged to the allowance for loan losses for prior quarters when the loan is placed on non-accrual status.

The Corporation’s average deposit balances and rates for the past five years are summarized in Table 10. Total average deposits were 5.5% higher in 2001 as compared to 2000. Deposit growth was derived primarily from increases in non-interest bearing demand, savings and time deposits. Interest-bearing demand deposits comprised 13.8% of total deposits while savings deposits comprised 27.6% of total deposits.

As of December 31, 2001 certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more accounted for approximately 8.5% of total deposits compared to 13.8% at December 31, 2000. The maturities of these deposits are summarized in Table 11.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Corporation’s effective tax rate was 29.9% for 2001, 29.1% for 2000 and 31% for 1999. The principal difference between the effective tax rates and the statutory tax rate of 34% is the Corporation’s investment in securities and loans, which provide income exempt from federal income tax. Additional information relating to federal income taxes is included in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.



45.




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 senior 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 Corporation’s deposit base plus other funding sources (federal funds purchased, other liabilities and shareholders’ equity) provided primarily all funding needs in 2001, 2000, and 1999. 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 and market conditions. The Corporation does not foresee any difficulty in meeting its funding requirements.

Primary liquidity is provided through short-term investments or borrowings (including federal funds sold and purchased), while the security portfolio provides secondary liquidity along with FHLB advances. As of December 31, 2001 federal funds sold represented 7.4% of total assets, compared to 2.5% at the end of 2000. 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 analyses of those factors impacting interest rate risk. Factors include maturity and re-pricing frequency of balance sheet components, impact of rate changes on interest margin and prepayment speeds, market value impacts of rate changes, and other issues. Both actual and projected performance, are reviewed, analyzed, and compared to policy and objectives to assure present and future financial viability.

The Corporation had cash flows from financing activities resulting primarily from the inflow of savings deposits and short-term borrowings. In 2001, these deposits increased $16,614,000 and these borrowings decreased $2,580,000. Cash provided by investing activities was $5,321,000 in 2001 compared to cash used of $12,784,000 in 2000. The change in investing activities from 2000 is due to the sales and calls of securities in 2001.

RISK ELEMENTS AND MANAGEMENT

Credit risk is managed via specific credit approvals and monitoring procedures. The Corporation’s outside loan review function examines the loan portfolio on a periodic basis for compliance with credit policies and for identification of problem loans. These procedures provide management with information for setting appropriate direction and taking corrective action as needed.

The Corporation closely monitors its construction and commercial mortgage loan portfolios. Construction loans at December 31, 2001, which comprised 12.1% of total loans, totaled $25,434,000 as compared to $17,471,000 and $12,481,000 at the end of 2000 and 1999 respectively.

The construction and commercial real estate loan properties are located principally in the Corporation’s local markets. Included are loans to various industries and professional organizations. The Corporation believes that these portfolios are well diversified and do not present a significant risk to the institution.



46.




CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management closely monitors capital levels to provide for current and future business needs and to comply with regulatory requirements. Regulations prescribed under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 have defined “well capitalized” institutions as those having total risk-based ratios, tier 1 risk-based capital ratios and tier 1 leverage ratios of at least 10%, 6%, and 5% respectively. At December 31, 2001, the Corporation was well in excess of the minimum capital and leverage requirements necessary to be considered a “well capitalized” banking company as defined by federal law.

Total shareholders’ equity rose 7.5% to $38,433,000 at December 31, 2001, compared with $35,754,000 at December 31, 2000. The Corporation’s equity to asset ratio was 12.4% at December 31, 2001, compared to 12.2% at December 31, 2000. The increase in the amount of capital was obtained through retained earnings and the proceeds from the issuance of new shares. In 2001, the Corporation increased its cash dividends by 4.1% to $1.01 per share compared with $.97 in 2000.

At December 31, 2001, the Corporation’s tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 15.0% and 16.2%, respectively, compared with 15.0% and 16.2% in 2000. The Corporation’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.5% at December 31, 2001 compared with 12.1% at December 31, 2000. These increases in risk-based capital ratios are largely attributable to an increase in federal funds sold investments at December 31, 2000, and the increases in capital.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Fentura Bancorp, Inc. faces market risk to the extent that both earnings and the fair value of its financial instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. The Corporation manages this risk with static GAP analysis and has begun simulation modeling. Throughout 2001, the results of these measurement techniques were within the Corporation’s policy guidelines. The Corporation does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature of the Corporation’s substantially influenced market risk exposures, including the categories of market risk to which the Corporation is exposed and the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to the Corporation, or in how those exposures are managed in 2001 compared to 2000.

The Corporation’s market risk exposure is mainly comprised of its vulnerability to interest rate risk. Prevailing interest rates and interest rate relationships in the future will be primarily determined by market factors, which are outside of the Corporation’s control. All information provided in this section consists of forward-looking statements. Reference is made to the section captioned “Forward Looking Statements” in this annual report for a discussion of the limitations on the Corporation’s responsibility for such statements.

The following table provides information about the Corporation’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2001. The table shows expected cash flows from market sensitive instruments for each of the next five years and thereafter. The expected maturity date values for loans and securities (at amortized cost) were calculated without adjusting the instruments’ contractual maturity dates for expected prepayments. Maturity date values for interest bearing core deposits were not based on estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding, but rather the opportunity for re-pricing. The Corporation believes that re-pricing dates, as opposed to expected maturity dates, may be more relevant in analyzing the value of such instruments and are reported as such in the following table.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to maximize net interest income as a result of changing interest rates, within prudent ranges of risk. The Corporation attempts to accomplish this objective by structuring the balance sheet so that re-pricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time intervals. Imbalances in these re-pricing opportunities at any point in time constitute a bank’s interest rate sensitivity. The Corporation currently does not utilize derivatives in managing interest rate risk.

An indicator of the interest rate sensitivity structure of a financial institution’s balance sheet is the difference between its interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities, and is referred to as “GAP”.

Table 13 sets forth the distribution of re-pricing of the Corporation’s earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as of December 31, 2001, 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 13, 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 interest rates decrease, this negative gap position could have a short-term positive impact on interest margin. However, gap analysis is limited and may not provide an accurate indication of the impact of general interest rate movements on the net interest margin since the re-pricing of various categories of assets and liabilities is subject to the Corporation's needs, competitive pressures, and the needs of the Corporation's customers. In addition, various assets and liabilities indicated as re-pricing within the same period may in fact re-price at different times within such period and at different rate indices. The limitations of gap described above impacted financial performance in 2001. The Corporation's gap position was negative and a decline in market interest rates; yet net interest income or margin dollars dropped. This occurred because assets, both variable and fixed through maturity and refinance, re-priced more dramatically than liabilities. The liabilities, largely deposits, either lagged market re-pricing due to the maturity dates on time deposits or were not re-priced by the same amount as assets due to competitive pressures. Interest bearing checking and savings deposits are generally a lower cost of funds products compared to time deposits. This lower level of interest rates creates a smaller opportunity for re-pricing. For example certain asset products re-priced downward 4.75% with the downward movement of national prime rates throughout 2001 while most of interest bearing checking and savings were at rates lower than 4.75% at the start of the year and accordingly, had a much lesser level of re-pricing opportunity. The Corporation is implementing a more sophisticated model to assist in monitoring and measuring interest rate sensitivity to changing interest rate environments.

ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING DEVELOPMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, (as amended), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The statement requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The statement is effective in 2001 for the Corporation. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 140"), which replaces SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 125"), issued in June 1996. It revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. Implementation of SFAS No. 140 did not have a material effect on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations within its scope to be accounted for using the purchase method, rather than the pooling-of-interest method. The provisions of this Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations. SFAS No. 142 addresses the accounting for such assets arising from prior and future business combinations in June 2001. Upon the adoption of the Statement, goodwill arising from business combinations will no longer be amortized, but rather will be assessed regularly for impairment, with any such impairment recognized as a reduction of earnings in the period identified. Other identified intangible assets, such as core deposit intangible assets, will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The adoption of the statement did not impact the Corporation's consolidated financial statements, as it has no intangible assets.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and other sections of the Financial Statements, contain forward looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation itself. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "is likely," "plans," "projects," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("Future Factors"), which are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Future Factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward looking statement include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rate and interest rate relationships, demands for products and services, the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors, changes in banking laws or regulations, changes in tax laws, change in prices, the impact of technological advances, government and regulatory policy changes, the outcome of pending and future litigation and contingencies, trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans, and the local economy.
