  11  Strong Capital PositionFocused on Shareholder Return  HighlightsPrudent capital management. Target TCE ratio – 9.50% to 10.50% near-term and 8.50% to 9.50% longer-term.

 12  Net Interest Margin/Income  HighlightsInterest rate sensitivity profile of the loan and securities portfolios, in combination with a low cost core deposit base, positions us to generally benefit from a rising interest rate environment.Net interest income increased 6.6% in 3Q’17 vs. 2Q’17 due primarily to a $98.8 million increase in average interest-earning assets as well as a six basis point increase in the net interest margin.Original 2017 goal was to grow net interest income by approximately 3% over 2016 as average loans increase (partially offset by sale of payment plan receivables). Now expect full year 2017 net interest income to grow by 12% to 13% over 2016. Starting to see some pressure on deposit rates due to the 0.25% bumps in the target federal funds rate in March and June 2017 and December 2016.   Net Interest Margin (TE)(%)  Net Interest Income ($ in Millions)  

 13  Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Details  Summary3Q’17 net interest income of $22.912 million, up $1.420 million from 2Q’17. The linked quarter increase was due to a $1.882 million increase in interest income and fees on loans. This was partially offset by a $44K decrease in interest income on securities and investments and a $418K increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings. The increase in interest income and fees on loans was due to an increase in average balance, an increase in the average yield and an increase in interest recoveries (net) on previously charged-off or non-accrual loans of $146K. One more day in the quarter increased net interest income by $125K net. The tax equivalent net interest margin (NIM) increased 6 bps (3.66% vs. 3.60%) due to an 11 bps increase in the yield on interest earning assets that was partially offset by a 5 bps increase in the cost of funds (interest expense as a percentage of average interest-earning assets). Average yield on new/renewed commercial loans was 4.63% on fixed rate (41.7% of production) and 4.57% on variable rate (58.3% of production), 3Q’17 volume of $56.7 million with an estimated average duration of 1.9 years. Average yield on new retail loans (mortgage and consumer installment) was 4.08%, 3Q’17 volume of $189.4 million with an estimated average duration of 3.9 years.Loan Portfolio DetailsCommercial loans: Interest income increased $656K due to a 20 bps increase in the average yield (4.83% vs. 4.63%), an $11.3 million increase in the average balance and one more day in the quarter ($111K impact). Interest recoveries (net) increased by $88K, this increased the average yield by 4 bps. Mortgage loans (includes loans held for sale): Interest income increased $1.222 million due to a $108.6 million increase in the average balance and a 4 bps increase in the average yield (4.24% vs. 4.20%) . Interest recoveries (net) increased by $70K, this increased the average yield by 4 bps.Consumer installment loans: Interest income increased $331K due to a $26.1 million increase in the average balance and one more day in the quarter ($38K impact) that were partially offset by a 1 bps decrease in the average yield (4.54% vs. 4.55%). Interest recoveries (net) decreased by $12K, this decreased the average yield by 2 bps.Payment plan receivables: Interest income decreased $327K (and was zero in 3Q’17) as this portfolio was sold in May 2017. Other FactorsSecurities and investments: Interest income decreased $44K due to a $29.9 million decrease in average balance that was partially offset by a 9 bps increase in the average TE yield (2.50% vs. 2.41%) and one more day in the quarter ($3K impact).Deposits and borrowings: Interest expense increased $418K due to a $68.8 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, an 8 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities (0.59% vs. 0.51%), and one more day in the quarter ($27K impact).   Analysis of Linked Quarter Increase 

 14  Non-interest Income  HighlightsDiverse sources of non-interest income which totaled $10.3 million in 3Q’17.3Q’17 total non-interest income represents approximately 31.0% of total revenue (net interest income and non-interest income).Service charges on deposits have recently stabilized after previous longer-term decline and are up by 3.3% YTD 2017 vs. 2016.3Q’17 interchange revenue essentially unchanged compared to 3Q’16 and up by 1.2% YTD 2017 vs, 2016.3Q’17 gains on mortgage loans totaled $3.0 million, down $0.6 million, or 16.5%, from 3Q’16, due to margin pressure and fair value adjustments.3Q’17 mortgage loan servicing includes a $1.09 million decline in fair value adjustment ($0.572 million due to price and $0.518 million due to pay downs). 3Q’16 included amortization of $0.799 million and a recovery of previously recorded impairment charges on MSRs of $0.620 million.   2017 YTD Non-interest Income Breakout  Non-interest Income Trends ($ in Millions) 

 15  Non-interest Expense  HighlightsQ3’17 non-interest expenses totaled $22.6 million (a decrease from 2Q’17 and a slight increase from 3Q’16).Q3’17 compensation and benefits increased by $0.5 million over Q3’16 due primarily to higher salaries and wages, incentive compensation and payroll taxes. 3Q’17 average FTEs up by 66.4 (8.4%) over 3Q’16, with much of the growth related to the mortgage banking expansion (partially offset by sale of payment plan business in May 2017).

 21  2017 Actual Performance vs. Original Outlook  Category  Outlook  Lending  Continued growthGoal of 10 to 11% overall loan growth in 2017, primarily supported by increases in commercial loans, mortgage loans and consumer loans. Expect much of this growth to occur in the last three quarters of 2017. This growth forecast also assumes a stable Michigan economy. 3Q’17 Update: Exceeded expectation. 3Q’17 annualized loan growth of 27.5%. Anticipate some seasonal slowdown in 4Q’17, however still expect total portfolio loans to exceed $2 billion by 12/31/17 (representing annual growth in excess of 25%).  Net Interest Income  Growth over 2016 despite sale of payment plan receivablesGoal of approximately 3% increase in net interest income over 2016. Pressure on the net interest margin expected to abate. Growth in net interest income in 2017 vs. 2016 due primarily to growth in loans as described above and somewhat higher short-term interest rates. Forecast assumes two 0.25% increases in the federal funds rate (one in mid 3Q’17 and one in early 4Q’17) and long-term rates up slightly over year end 2016 levels. 3Q’17 Update: Exceeded expectation. Increase of 14.6% over 3Q’16. Expect full year 2017 growth of 12% to 13% over 2016.  Provision for Loan Losses  Steady asset quality metricsVery difficult area to forecast. Future provision levels will be particularly sensitive to loan net charge-offs, watch credit levels, loan default volumes, and TDR portfolio performance as well as loan growth. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was at 1.26% at 12/31/16. Do not expect credit provision in 2017 due to portfolio loan growth and a decline in recoveries of previously charged-off loans. Quarterly provision (expense) for loan losses of $500K to $600K would not be unreasonable. 3Q’17 Update: $0.6 million loan loss provision expense driven primarily by loan growth. Strong asset quality metrics.  Non-interest Income  Forecasted quarterly range of $10.8 million to $11.7 million with total for year up by approximately $2.4 million vs. 2016Expect mortgage-banking revenues and mortgage lending volumes in 2017 to be higher than 2016. Expect service charges on deposits and interchange income in 2017 to be generally comparable to 2016. 3Q’17 Update: Actual non-interest income of $10.3 million in 3Q’17. Below forecasted range due primarily to lower than expected gains on mortgage loans as there was a higher mix of portfolio mortgage loans than expected and margin pressure. Additionally, 3Q’17 included $0.57 million fair value decline in MSRs due to price. Expect 4Q’17 to be near the low end of the forecasted range.  Non-interest Expense  Forecasted quarterly range of $21.6 to $22.7 million with total for the year down by approximately $2.8 million vs. 2016The expected decrease in non-interest expenses is primarily due to the elimination of $2.6 million of litigation expense and loss on sale of Mepco assets that were incurred in 2016. Decline in expenses associated with the sale of the payment plan processing business (Mepco) is expected to be somewhat offset by higher expenses related to the expansion of mortgage banking operations. 3Q’17 Update: Actual non-interest expenses of $22.6 million (slightly below high end of forecasted range). Expect 4Q’17 to be near or a somewhat above the high end of the forecasted quarterly range.   Income Taxes  Approximately 32% to 32.5% in 2017. This assumes no changes in corporate income tax rates or rules during 2017. 3Q’17 Update: 31.5% actual effective income tax rate. 3Q’17 included a $0.022 million tax benefit related to incentive share awards vested/exercised. 

 22   Strategic Initiatives  Balance SheetGenerate quality loan growth with continued focus on commercial and consumer installment lending as well as salable and portfolio mortgage loans.Remain asset sensitive and positioned to benefit from higher interest rates (short duration investment portfolio, large variable rate loan portfolio and strong core deposit base with a significant amount of small to medium balance transaction accounts). Income StatementGenerate increased net interest income through change in earning asset mix (increased loans to deposits ratio and reduced level of investment securities).Increase non-interest income with focus on transaction related revenue (treasury management and debit card) and mortgage banking revenue.Continued selective reductions in certain non-interest expenses (credit related costs, branch optimization, process re-engineering and outsourcing). However, now expect growth in compensation and employee benefits expense and in occupancy expense as mortgage-banking operations are expanded.Improved efficiency ratio: Low 70% range near-term and mid 60% range longer-term. Achieve improvements primarily through revenue growth.Enterprise Risk ManagementSteady asset quality.Meet increased compliance and regulatory requirements.Focus on data security and loss prevention.
