 11  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 benefit from a rising interest rate environment.Net interest income increased in 3Q’16 vs. 2Q’16 due primarily to average interest-earning assets growth of $36.1 million that was partially offset by a one basis point decline in the net interest margin.Absolute low interest rate environment continues to place some pressure on the net interest margin. 2016 goal is to grow net interest income by 5% to 6% as NIM compression abates and average loans increase. For the 9ME 9/30/16, net interest income has increased $3.8 million, or 6.8%.  Net Interest Margin (TE)(%)  Net Interest Income ($ in Millions)  
 

 12  Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Details  Summary3Q’16 net interest income of $19.998 million, up $368K from 2Q’16. The linked quarter increase was due to a $389K increase in interest income and fees on loans and an $89K increase in interest income on securities and investments. This was partially offset by a $110K increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings. The increase in interest income and fees on loans was partially offset by a decline in interest recoveries (net) on previously charged-off or non-accrual loans of $57K. The tax equivalent net interest margin (NIM) decreased 1 bps (3.51% vs. 3.52%) due to a 1 bps increase in the cost of funds (interest expense as a percentage of average interest-earning assets). Average yield on new commercial loans was 4.84% on fixed rate (39% of production) and 3.70% on variable rate (61% of production); average yield on new retail loans (mortgage and consumer installment) was 3.84%.Loan Portfolio DetailsCommercial loans: Interest income increased $178K due to: (i) one more day in the quarter [$97K impact]; (ii) a 1 bps increase in the average yield (4.55% vs. 4.54%); and (iii) a $4.5 million increase in average balance . Interest recoveries (net) decreased by $37K. Mortgage loans (includes loans held for sale): Interest income increased $46K due to a $15.3 million increase in average balance that was partially offset by an 8 bps decrease in the average yield (4.14% vs. 4.22%) . Interest recoveries (net) decreased by $24K.Consumer installment loans: Interest income increased $216K due to a $21.0 million increase in average balance and one more day in the quarter [$34K impact] that were partially offset by a 10 bps decrease in the average yield (4.78% vs. 4.68%) . Interest recoveries (net) increased by $3K.Payment plan receivables: Interest income decreased $51K due to a $1.1 million decrease in the average balance and a 19 bps decrease in the average yield (12.66% vs. 12.85%). Other FactorsSecurities and investments: Interest income increased $89K due to an 8 bps increase in the average TE yield (1.96% vs. 1.88%) that was partially offset by a $3.5 million decrease in average balance. Deposits and borrowings: Interest expense increased $110K due to one more day in the quarter [$19K impact] and a 2 bps increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities (0.46% vs. 0.44%) that were partially offset by a $6.4 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.    Analysis of Linked Quarter Increase 
 

 13  Non-interest Income  HighlightsDiverse sources of non-interest income which totaled $11.7 million in 3Q’16.3Q’16 total non-interest income represents approximately 36.9% of total revenue (net interest income and non-interest income).3Q’16 interchange revenue down $0.2 million, or 10.4%, compared to 3Q’15. Although transaction volume increased 1.8% year-over-year, interchange revenue per transaction declined by 5.3%.

 20  2016 Management Outlook  Category  Outlook  Lending  Continued growthGoal of high single digit % overall loan growth in 2016, primarily supported by increases in commercial loans, consumer loans and mortgage loans with payment plan receivables relatively stable. Expect much of this growth to occur in the last three quarters of 2016. This growth forecast also assumes a stable Michigan economy. 3Q’16: $1.607 billion of total portfolio loans at 9/30/16, annualized growth rate of 8.1%*. On track. [*Adjusted to 6.8%, excluding 3Q’16 bulk mortgage loan purchase.]  Net Interest Income  Accelerating growth over 2015Goal of mid-single digit % increase in net interest income over 2015. Pressure on the net interest margin has largely abated. Growth in net interest income in 2016 vs. 2015 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 2Q’16 and one in early 4Q’16) and long-term rates up slightly over year end 2015 levels. 3Q’16: Actual YTD net interest income of $59.4 million vs. $55.6 million in 2015, growth of 6.8%. On track.  Provision for Loan Losses  Steady to slightly improving 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. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was at 1.49% at 12/31/15. Any credit provision in 2016 would largely be a function of recoveries of previously charged-off loans, pay-downs in the TDR portfolio (permitting the release of specific reserves) and low levels of new loan defaults. 3Q’16: Actual credit provision of $1.4 million with net recoveries of $0.9 million. Asset quality trends continue to be stable to slightly improving.  Non-interest Income  Forecasted quarterly range of $9.5 million to $10 million with total for the year similar to 2015Expect mortgage-banking revenues and mortgage lending volumes in 2016 to be slightly lower than 2015. Expect higher service charges on deposits (new account acquisition program) and comparable interchange income in 2016 vs. 2015. 3Q’16: Actual YTD non-interest income of $29.1 million ($11.7 million in 3Q’16) vs. $30.1 million in 2015 ($10.1 million in 3Q’15). First nine months of 2016 and 2015 include impairment charges on MSRs of $1.48 million and $0.35 million, respectively. 3Q and YTD 2015 include $1.2 million net gain on branch sale. Overall full-year 2016 non-interest income expected to have four quarter average within forecasted range.  Non-interest Expense  Forecasted quarterly range of $21 to $22 million with full-year low-single digit % decline vs. 2015The expected decline in non-interest expenses compared to 2015 is primarily concentrated in occupancy and equipment, data processing and loan and collection costs. 3Q’16: Actual YTD non-interest expense of $65.5 million ($22.5 million in 3Q’16) vs. $65.6 million in 2015 ($21.9 million in 3Q’15). Expect to be within the original forecasted quarterly range for the last quarter of 2016.   Income TaxesDiluted share count  Approximately 32% in 2016. 3Q’16: Actual effective income tax rate of 31.9% for the quarter. YTD actual effective income tax rate of 30.9% that adjusts to 32.0% when eliminating impact of ASU 2016-09.For last quarter of 2016: Approximately 21.5 million shares based on September 30, 2016 figures. 
 

 21   Strategic Initiatives  Balance SheetGenerate quality loan growth with continued focus on commercial and consumer installment lending as well as salable and portfolio mortgage loans. May consider augmenting loan growth with selective in-market whole loan purchases, depending on rate of acceleration of portfolio mortgage loan growth.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 through combination of revenue growth and expense reductions.Enterprise Risk ManagementContinued asset quality improvements.Meet increased compliance and regulatory requirements.Focus on data security and loss prevention.
