PART I
 
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

Community Shores Bank Corporation (“the Company"), organized in 1998, is a Michigan corporation and a bank holding company. The Company owns all of the common stock of Community Shores Bank (the "Bank").  The Bank was organized and commenced operations in January, 1999 as a Michigan chartered bank with depository accounts insured by the FDIC to the extent permitted by law.  The Bank provides a full range of commercial and consumer banking services primarily in the communities of Muskegon County and Northern Ottawa County.  The Bank's services include checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit, safe deposit boxes, courier service, and loans for commercial and consumer purposes.

Community Shores Mortgage Company (the “Mortgage Company”) was incorporated on December 13, 2001. The Mortgage Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, can originate both commercial and residential real estate loans. Most fixed rate residential real estate loans originated by the Mortgage Company are sold to a third party. Commercial and residential real estate loans that are held in the Mortgage Company’s portfolio are serviced by the Bank pursuant to a servicing agreement.

In October of 2010, the Mortgage Company created a wholly-owned subsidiary named Berryfield Development, LLC (“Berryfield”). The entity’s sole purpose is to oversee the development and sale of vacant lots that have been foreclosed on by the Mortgage Company.

On September 27, 2002, pursuant to Title I of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Company received regulatory approval to become a financial holding company. After becoming a financial holding company the Company created Community Shores Financial Services, Inc. (“CS Financial Services”). Currently the only source of revenue that CS Financial Services receives is referral fee income from a local insurance agency, Lakeshore Employee Benefits, formerly Lead Financial. Lakeshore Employee Benefits offers, among other things, employer sponsored benefit plans. CS Financial Services has the opportunity to earn a referral fee for each sale of employer sponsored benefits that is transacted by Lakeshore Employee Benefits as a result of a referral made by CS Financial Services. On April 16, 2009, the Company withdrew its election to be a financial holding company. The election was acknowledged by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (“FRB”). The passive income derived from CS Financial Services affiliation with Lakeshore Employee Benefits is unaffected by this change.

In December of 2004, the Company formed Community Shores Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust (“the Trust”). The Trust is administered by a Delaware trust company, and two individual administrative trustees who are employees and officers of the Company. The Trust was established for the purpose of issuing and selling its preferred securities and common securities and used the proceeds from the sales of those securities to acquire subordinated debentures issued by the Company. A majority of the net proceeds received by the Company was used to pay down the outstanding balance on the Company’s line of credit. The remaining proceeds were used to contribute capital to the Bank as well as support the general operating expenses of the Company including the debt service on the Company’s subordinated debentures.

The Company's main office is located at 1030 W. Norton Avenue, Muskegon, Michigan, 49441 and its telephone number is (231) 780-1800.

Recent Developments

The Company’s balance sheet increased by $6.5 million in 2010 compared to a decrease of $24.2 million in 2009. Although loans decreased in both years, the higher levels of on balance sheet liquidity more than offset the decrease in 2010. In both 2009 and 2010, the Company had consolidated losses stemming from deterioration in credit quality and the need for large loan loss provisions and devaluation of foreclosed real estate. As a result of the losses sustained in 2010 the Bank’s capital ratios declined. The Bank’s total risk based capital ratio was 7.06% on December 31, 2010. The Bank was under capitalized according to regulatory capital standards. At December 31, 2009, the Bank was deemed to be well capitalized with a total risk based capital ratio of 10.41%.

As a result of deteriorating asset quality, poor earnings and falling capital ratios, the Bank endured additional regulatory scrutiny and entered into a Consent Order with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the State of Michigan’s Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation (“OFIR), its primary regulators, on September 2, 2010. The Bank agreed to the terms of the Consent Order without admitting or denying any charge of unsafe or unsound banking practices relating to capital, asset quality, or earnings. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank. The Consent Order will remain in effect and enforceable until it is modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and OFIR.

The Consent Order, among other things, requires the Bank to implement a written profit plan, a written contingency funding plan, a written plan to reduce the Bank's reliance on brokered deposits, a comprehensive strategic plan; and to develop an analysis and assessment of the Bank's management needs.  Under the Consent Order the Bank is required, within 90 days of September 2, 2010, to have and maintain its level of tier one capital, as a percentage of its total assets, at a minimum of 8.5%, and its level of qualifying total capital, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, at a minimum of 11%; and the Bank may not declare or pay any dividend without the prior written consent of the regulators.

Prior to the issuance of the Consent Order, the Bank's Board of Directors and management had already commenced initiatives and strategies to address a number of the requirements of the Consent Order. The Bank continues to work in cooperation with its regulators.  Our ability to fully comply with all of the requirements of the Consent Order, including maintaining specified capital levels, is not entirely within our control, and is not assured. Our ability to comply with the requirements of the Consent Order may be affected by many factors, including the availability of capital and other funds, the extent of repayment of loans by borrowers, declines in the value of collateral including real estate, the Bank's ability to realize on collateral, actions that may be taken by our lender in connection with our outstanding $5 million term loan, and actions by bank regulators. Failure to comply with provisions of the Consent Order may result in further regulatory action that could have a material adverse effect on us and our shareholders, as well as the Bank.

As of October 1, 2010, the Bank had retained a consultant, acceptable to the regulators, who was hired to develop a written analysis and assessment of the Bank’s management needs for the purpose of providing qualified management for the Bank. The consultant completed the analysis by the December 1, 2010 deadline. On January 6, the FDIC and OFIR acknowledged the timely filing of the report and concurred with the consultant, that the members of the present executive management team have the ability, experience and qualifications to perform their respective duties in a capable manner. No changes in the Bank’s management were recommended.

The Bank’s Board of Directors continues to participate in the governance of the Bank and has developed a program for monitoring compliance with the Consent Order. The template is updated periodically as necessary and is distributed to all Board members for discussion at the monthly board meeting.

There were several directives related to loans contained in the Consent Order. The Bank was ordered to charge off all loans classified as “loss” by the FDIC during the March 2010 examination. The charge offs were completed as directed. The Bank was prohibited from extending additional credit to any impaired borrower. The Bank is in compliance with this mandate. The Bank was asked to develop, implement and submit to the FDIC, written action plans to reduce the risk position in impaired credits. All action plans have been submitted to the FDIC. Management continues to update the action plans and is working diligently to reduce the risk position as outlined in each action plan. All recommended loan and collection policy revisions have been adopted and submitted to the FDIC.

Under the Consent Order the Bank was required, within 90 days of September 2, 2010, to have and maintain its level of tier one capital, as a percentage of its total assets, at a minimum of 8.5%, and its level of qualifying total capital, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, at a minimum of 11%. The Bank was not in compliance with this requirement. The actual tier one capital as a percentage of total assets at December 31, 2010 was 4.25%. The total risk based capital ratio of the Bank was 7.06%. Management continues to explore options to raise the capital required for full compliance. At December 31, 2010, a capital contribution of $10,250,000 would have been needed to meet the capital ratios specified in the Consent Order.

Under the Consent Order the Bank is restricted from declaring or paying dividends without prior written authorization of the FDIC. The Bank is in compliance with this restriction.

The Bank was ordered to adopt, implement and adhere to a realistic, comprehensive written profit plan and budget for 2011. The Bank adopted a written profit plan and budget for 2011 on November 17, 2010. Management intends on informing the Board on a monthly basis as to how the Bank’s performance compared to the budget.

Per the Consent Order the Board must be given the opportunity to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses prior to the submission of any reports of condition and statements of income to the FDIC. The Board is given the opportunity each month to review the details of the allowance for loan loss calculation and the resulting provision expense and to provide feedback to management as to the sufficiency.

As requested, the Bank adopted a detailed liquidity plan on November 17, 2010 which provided for intended liquidity sources to meet the Bank’s assessed liquidity needs over the time horizons of 6, 12 and 18 months. A significant portion of the upcoming funding needs are related to the brokered deposit maturities discussed below.

As a condition of the Consent Order, the Bank is unable to accept brokered deposits. On October 27, 2010, the Board, as a requirement of the Consent Order, approved a written plan to reduce the Bank’s reliance on brokered deposits. The plan to reduce brokered deposits includes details of the volume and maturities of the existing brokered deposits over the next eight quarters and includes a specific strategy to fund their maturities.

As of December 31, 2010, there was $37,307,000 of brokered deposits outstanding. They mature as follows:

Due in 3 months or less
$  3,453,000
Due in 3-12 months
$30,392,000
Due in one or more years
$  3,462,000

Throughout a majority of 2010, the Bank has been able to replace $15,376,579 of maturing brokered deposits with local deposits, including internet based time deposits and core deposits. The plan to reduce brokered deposits mainly consists of continuing this strategy. Monthly written progress reports are being provided to the Board.

On November 17, 2010, the Board of Directors adopted a new strategic plan. The plan was submitted to the FDIC. The Board intends to monitor the performance of the plan on a quarterly basis.
 
The lack of financial soundness of the Bank and the Company’s inability to serve as a source of strength for its subsidiary resulted in the board of directors entering into a Written Agreement with the FRB, the Company’s primary regulator. The Written Agreement became effective on December 16, 2010, when it was executed by the FRB. The Written Agreement provides that: (i) the Company must take appropriate steps to fully utilize its financial and managerial resources to serve as a source of strength to Community Shores Bank; (ii) the Company may not declare or pay any dividends or take dividends or any other payment representing a reduction in capital from Community Shores Bank or make any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior FRB approval; (iii) the Company may not incur, increase or guarantee any debt or purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior FRB approval; (iv) the Company must submit a written statement of its planned sources and uses of cash for debt service, operating expenses and other purposes to the FRB within 30 days of the Written Agreement; and (v) the Company shall take all necessary actions to ensure that the Bank, the Company and all nonbank subsidiaries of both the Bank and the Company complies with sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W of the Board of Governors (12 C.F.R. Part 223) in all transactions between affiliates; (vi) the Company may not appoint any new director or senior executive officer, or change the responsibilities of any senior executive officer so that the officer would assume a different senior executive officer position, without prior regulatory approval; and finally (vii) within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter following the date of the Written Agreement, the board of directors shall submit to the FRB written progress reports detailing the form and manner of all actions taken to secure compliance with the provisions of the Written Agreement as well as current copies of the parent company only financial statements. The Company has not yet been able to meet the obligation detailed in part (i) above. The Company currently has limited resources with which to support the capital needs of the Bank. The Company’s main liquidity resource is its cash account balance of approximately $125,000 and its dividend receivable from CS Financial Services of $30,000.
 
As of June 30, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with certain debt covenants of its term loan from Fifth Third Bank. A breach of the covenants are considered events of default which allows Fifth Third the option to demand immediately all or any part of the unpaid principal and interest balance. The Company does not have the resources to pay the outstanding principal and does not expect to have it in the near future. The Company did not make either of the last two quarterly interest payments which were due on September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010 and could not pay principal when the term loan matured on January 3, 2011. The total interest due to Fifth Third at maturity was approximately $155,000. Since the Company presently does not have sufficient funds to continue to pay interest or to pay off the term loan, Fifth Third has a right to foreclose on the Bank’s stock which collateralizes the term loan. Management met with Fifth Third on February 17, 2011, and does not believe that to be their intention however there was no formal forbearance obtained.

The Company’s net losses, non-compliance with debt covenants, non-compliance with the higher capital ratios of the Consent Order, and the provisions of the Written Agreement creates an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Products and Services

The Bank offers a broad range of deposit services, including checking accounts, savings accounts and time deposits of various types.  Transaction accounts and time certificates are tailored to the principal market area at rates competitive with those offered in the area.  Electronic banking services such as ACH and online bill pay are offered to both personal and business customers. All qualified deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC up to the maximum amount permitted by law.  The Bank solicits these accounts from individuals, businesses, schools, associations, churches, nonprofit organizations, financial institutions and government authorities.  The Bank also uses alternative funding sources as needed, including advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and obtaining deposits through a deposit listing service. Additionally, the Bank makes available mutual funds and annuities, which are non-insured, through an alliance with Sorrento Pacific. Discount brokerage services are made available to our customers through Sorrento as well. The Bank receives referral fees for customers that open a brokerage account and conduct trades.

Real Estate Loans.  The Bank originates residential mortgage loans, which are generally long-term with either fixed or variable interest rates.  The general operating policy, which is subject to review by management due to changing market and economic conditions and other factors, is to sell a majority of the fixed rate residential real estate loans originated.  Generally loan sales are on a servicing released basis in the secondary market, regardless of term or product.  The Bank, based on its lending guidelines, may periodically elect to underwrite and retain certain mortgages in its portfolio. The Bank also offers fixed rate home equity loans and variable rate home equity lines of credit, which are usually retained in its portfolio.

The retention of variable rate loans in the Bank's loan portfolio helps to reduce the Bank's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  However, such loans generally pose credit risks different from the risks inherent in fixed rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise, the underlying payments from the borrowers rise, thereby increasing the potential for default.

Personal Loans and Lines of Credit.  The Bank makes personal loans and lines of credit available to consumers for various purposes, such as the purchase of automobiles, boats and other recreational vehicles, home improvements and personal investments.  The Bank's current policy is to retain substantially all of these loans in its portfolio.

Commercial and Commercial Real Estate Loans.  Commercial loans are made primarily to small and mid-sized businesses.  These loans are and will be both secured and unsecured and are made available for general operating purposes, acquisition of fixed assets including real estate, purchases of equipment and machinery, financing of inventory and accounts receivable, as well as any other purposes considered appropriate. From March 2002 through December 2007, substantially all Commercial Real Estate Loan originations were executed by the Mortgage Company; however both the Bank and the Mortgage Company have a portfolio of Commercial Real Estate loans. Both entities generally look to a borrower's business operations as the principal source of repayment, but will also receive, when appropriate, liens on real estate, security interests in inventory, accounts receivable and other personal property or personal guarantees.

The Bank has established relationships with correspondent banks and other independent financial institutions to provide other services requested by the Bank’s customers, and loan participations where the requested loan amounts exceed the Bank's policies or legal lending limits.

Competition

The Company’s primary market area is Muskegon County and Northern Ottawa County.  Northern Ottawa County primarily consists of the cities of Grand Haven, Ferrysburg, Spring Lake and the townships surrounding these areas.  There are a number of banks, thrifts and credit union offices located in the Company’s market area.  Most are branches of larger financial institutions with the exception of some credit unions.  Competition with the Company also comes from other areas such as finance companies, insurance companies, mortgage companies, brokerage firms and other providers of financial services.  Most of the Company’s competitors have been in business a number of years longer than the Company and, for the most part, have established customer bases.  The Company competes with these older institutions, through its ability to provide quality customer service, along with competitive products and services.

Effect of Government Monetary Policies

The earnings of the Company are affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government, its agencies, and the Federal Reserve Board.  The Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policies have had, and will likely continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national monetary policy in order to, among other things, curb inflation, maintain employment, and mitigate economic recession.  The policies of the Federal Reserve Board have a major effect upon the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits through its open market operations in United States government securities, and through its regulation of, among other things, the discount rate on borrowings of member banks and the reserve requirements against member bank deposits.  It is not possible to predict the nature and impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

Regulation and Supervision

As a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Company is required to file an annual report with the Federal Reserve Board and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require.  The Company is also subject to examination by the Federal Reserve Board.

The Bank Holding Company Act limits the activities of bank holding companies that have not qualified as financial holding companies to banking and the management of banking organizations, and to certain non-banking activities.  These non-banking activities include those activities that the Federal Reserve Board found, by order or regulation as of the day prior to enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to banking.  These non-banking activities include, among other things: operating a mortgage company, finance company, factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; providing certain investment and financial advice; acting as an insurance agent for certain types of credit-related insurance; leasing property on a full-payout, nonoperating basis; and providing discount securities brokerage services for customers.  With the exception of the activities of the Mortgage Company and the third party arrangements with Lakeshore Employee Benefits and Sorrento Pacific discussed above, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries engages in any of the non-banking activities listed above.

In September, 2002, the Company's election to become a financial holding company, as permitted by the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended by Title I of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, was accepted by the Federal Reserve Board.  In order to continue as a financial holding company, the Company and the Bank must satisfy statutory requirements regarding capitalization, management, and compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act.  As a financial holding company, the Company is permitted to engage in a broader range of activities than are permitted to bank holding companies which have not qualified as financial holding

companies. Those expanded activities include any activity which the Federal Reserve Board (in certain instances in consultation with the Department of the Treasury) determines, by order or regulation, to be financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity, or to be complementary to a financial activity and not to pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally.  Such expanded activities include, among others: insuring, guaranteeing, or indemnifying against loss, harm, damage, illness, disability or death, or issuing annuities, and acting as principal, agent, or broker for such purposes; providing financial, investment, or economic advisory services, including advising a mutual fund; and underwriting, dealing in, or making a market in securities.  On April 16, 2009, the Company withdrew its election to be a financial holding company. The election was acknowledged by the Federal Reserve Bank. The passive income derived from the above activities is unaffected by this change.

The Bank is subject to restrictions imposed by federal law and regulation.  Among other things, these restrictions apply to any extension of credit to the Company or its other subsidiaries, to investments in stock or other securities issued by the Company, to the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower, and to acquisitions of assets or services from, and sales of certain types of assets to, the Company or its other subsidiaries.  Federal law restricts the ability of the Company or its other subsidiaries to borrow from the Bank by limiting the aggregate amount that may be borrowed and by requiring that all the loans be secured in designated amounts by specified forms of collateral.

With respect to the acquisition of banking organizations, the Company is generally required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it can acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or acquire ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank or bank holding company, if, after the acquisition, the Company would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of the bank or bank holding company.  Acquisitions of banking organizations across state lines are subject to certain restrictions imposed by Federal and state law and regulations.

Loan Policy

The Bank makes loans primarily to individuals and businesses located within the Bank's market area.  The loan policy of the Bank states that the function of the lending operation is to provide a means for the investment of funds at a profitable rate of return with an acceptable degree of risk, and to meet the credit needs of qualified businesses and individuals who become customers of the Bank.  The Board of Directors of the Bank recognizes that, in the normal business of lending, some losses on loans will be inevitable.  These losses will be carefully monitored and evaluated and are recognized as a normal cost of conducting business. The Bank's loan policy anticipates that priorities in extending loans will change from time to time as interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors change.  The policy is designed to assist the Bank in managing the business risk involved in extending credit.  It sets forth guidelines on a nondiscriminatory basis for lending in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.  The policy describes criteria for evaluating a borrower's ability to support debt, including character of the borrower, evidence of financial responsibility, knowledge of collateral type, value and loan to value ratio, terms of repayment, source of repayment, payment history, and economic conditions.

The Bank provides oversight and monitoring of lending practices and loan portfolio quality through the use of an Officers Loan Committee (the "Loan Committee").  The Loan Committee members include all commercial lenders, the Commercial Loan Department Head, the Credit Administrator, the President, and other designated credit personnel.  The Loan Committee is presently permitted to approve requests for loans in an amount not exceeding $1,500,000.  The Loan Committee may recommend that requests exceeding this amount be approved by a committee of the Board of Directors (the "Executive Loan Committee") whose lending authority is
 
 
8

 
$2,750,000.  Loan requests in excess of the Executive Loan Committee limit require the approval of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors has the maximum lending authority permitted by law.  However, generally, the loan policy establishes an "in house" limit slightly lower than the actual legal lending limit.  The Bank's general legal lending limit, as of December 31, 2010, was approximately $4,000,000, subject to a higher legal lending limit of approximately $5,321,000 in specific cases with approval by two-thirds of the Bank's Board of Directors.  Under Michigan banking law, these amounts would change if the Bank's capital and surplus changed.

In addition to the lending authority described above, the Bank's Board of Directors delegates significant authority to officers of the Bank. The Board believes this empowerment enables the Bank to be more responsive to its customers.  The President of the Bank and the Commercial Loan Department Head each have been delegated individual authority, where they deem it appropriate, to approve loans up to $1,000,000.  Together, their delegated authority, where they deem it appropriate, is $2,000,000. Other officers have been delegated authority to approve loans of lesser amounts, where they deem it appropriate, without approval by the Loan Committee.

The loan policy outlines the amount of funds that may be loaned against specific types of collateral.  The loan to value ratios for first mortgages on residences are expected to comply with the guidelines of secondary market investors.  First mortgages held within the Bank's portfolio are expected to mirror secondary market requirements.  In those instances where loan to value ratio exceeds 80%, it is intended that private mortgage insurance will be obtained to minimize the Bank's risk. For certain loans secured by real estate, an appraisal of the property offered as collateral, by a state licensed or certified independent appraiser, will be required.

The loan policy also provides general guidelines as to collateral, provides for environmental policy review, contains specific limitations with respect to loans to employees, executive officers and directors, provides for problem loan identification, establishes a policy for the maintenance of a loan loss reserve, provides for loan reviews and sets forth policies for mortgage lending and other matters relating to the Bank's lending practices.

Lending Activity

Commercial Loans.  The Bank's commercial lending group originates commercial loans primarily in the Western Michigan Counties of Muskegon and Northern Ottawa. Commercial loans are originated by experienced lenders under the leadership of the Commercial Loan Department Head. Loans are originated for general business purposes, including working capital, accounts receivable financing, machinery and equipment acquisition and commercial real estate financing, including new construction and land development.

Working capital loans that are structured as a line of credit are reviewed periodically in connection with the borrower's year end financial reporting.  These loans generally are secured by assets of the borrower and have an interest rate tied to the prime rate.  Loans for machinery and equipment purposes typically have a maturity of five to seven years and are fully amortizing.  Commercial real estate loans may have an interest rate that is fixed to maturity or floats with a spread to the prime rate or a U.S. Treasury Index.

The Bank evaluates many aspects of a commercial loan transaction in order to minimize credit and interest rate risk.  Underwriting commercial loans requires an assessment of management, products, markets, cash flow, capital, income and collateral.  The analysis includes a review of historical and projected financial results.  On certain transactions, where real estate is the primary collateral, and in some cases where equipment is the primary collateral, appraisals are obtained from licensed or certified appraisers.  In certain situations, for
 
 
9

 
creditworthy customers, the Bank may accept title reports instead of requiring lenders' policies of title insurance.

Commercial real estate lending involves more risk than residential lending, because loan balances are greater and repayment is dependent upon the borrower's operations.  The Bank attempts to minimize risk associated with these transactions by generally limiting its exposure to owner operated properties of well known customers or new customers with an established profitable history.  In certain cases, risk may be further reduced by (i) limiting the amount of credit to any one borrower to an amount less than the Bank's legal lending limit, and (ii) avoiding certain types of commercial real estate financing.

Single Family Residential Real Estate Loans. The Bank originates first mortgage residential real estate loans in its market area according to secondary market underwriting standards.  These loans are likely to provide borrowers with a fixed or adjustable interest rate with terms up to 30 years.  A majority of the single family residential real estate loans are expected to be sold on a servicing released basis in the secondary market with all interest rate risk and credit risk passed to the purchaser.  The Bank may periodically elect to underwrite certain residential real estate loans to be held in its own loan portfolio.

Consumer Loans.  The Bank originates consumer loans for a variety of personal financial needs.  Consumer loans are likely to include fixed home equity and equity lines of credit, new and used automobile loans, boat loans, personal unsecured lines of credit, credit cards (through third-party providers to minimize risk) and overdraft protection for checking account customers. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans and, except for home equity lines of credit, usually will involve greater credit risk due to the type and nature of the collateral securing the debt.  Strong emphasis is placed on the amount of the down payment, credit quality, employment stability, monthly income and appropriate insurance coverage.

Consumer loans are generally repaid on a monthly basis with the source of repayment tied to the borrower's periodic income.  It is recognized that consumer loan delinquency and losses are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability.  Job loss, illness and personal bankruptcy may adversely affect repayment.  In many cases, repossessed collateral (on a secured consumer loan) may not be sufficient to satisfy the outstanding loan balance.  This is a common occurrence due to depreciation of the underlying collateral. The Bank believes that the generally higher yields earned on consumer loans compensate for the increased credit risk associated with such loans.  Consumer loans are expected to be an important component in the Bank's efforts to meet the credit needs of the communities and customers that it serves.

Loan Portfolio Quality

The Bank hires an independent firm to help management monitor and validate their ongoing assessment of the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio. The independent firm accomplishes this through a sampling of the loan portfolios for both commercial and retail loans.  The independent firm also evaluates the loan underwriting, loan approval, loan monitoring, loan documentation, and problem loan administration practices of the Bank.  Loan reviews are performed twice a year. In 2010, they occurred in July and November. The Bank is scheduled to undergo its next review in June of 2011.

The Bank has a comprehensive loan grading system for commercial loans.  Administered as part of the loan review program, all commercial loans are graded on a nine grade rating system utilizing a standardized grade paradigm that analyzes several critical factors, such as cash flow, management and collateral coverage. All commercial loans are graded at inception and at various intervals thereafter.  All commercial loan relationships

Investments
 
Bank Holding Company Investments.  The principal investments of the Company are the investments in the common stock of the Bank and the common securities of the Trust.  Other funds of the Company may be invested from time to time in various debt instruments.

As a bank holding company, the Company is also permitted to make portfolio investments in equity securities and to make equity investments in subsidiaries engaged in a variety of non-banking activities.  Among the permitted non-banking activities are real estate-related activities such as community development, real estate appraisals, arranging equity financing for commercial real estate, and owning and operating real estate used substantially by the Bank or acquired for its future use.  The Company has no plans at this time to make directly any of these equity investments at the bank holding company level.  The Company's Board of Directors may, however, alter the investment policy at any time without shareholder approval.

The Bank’s Investments.  The Bank may invest its funds in a wide variety of debt instruments and may participate in the federal funds market with other depository institutions.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Bank is prohibited from investing in equity securities.  Among the equity investments permitted for the Bank under various conditions and subject in some instances to amount limitations, are shares of a subsidiary insurance agency, mortgage company (such as the Mortgage Company), real estate company, or Michigan business and industrial development company.  Under another such exception, in certain circumstances and with prior notice to or approval of the FDIC, the Bank could invest up to 10% of its total assets in the equity securities of a subsidiary corporation engaged in the acquisition and development of real property for sale, or the improvement of real property by construction or rehabilitation of residential or commercial units for sale or lease.  Real estate acquired by the Bank in satisfaction of or foreclosure upon loans may be held by the Bank for specified periods.  The Bank is also permitted to invest in such real estate as is necessary for the convenient transaction of its business.  The Bank’s Board of Directors may alter the Bank’s investment policy without shareholder approval at any time.

The Company does not believe that existing environmental regulations will have any material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the Company.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of December 31, 2010, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010.
 
The management of Community Shores Bank Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and circumvention or overriding of controls.  Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management of Community Shores Bank Corporation assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in the annual report.
 
There have been no significant changes in the internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
