PART-I
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Registrant, Huron National Bancorp, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the
"Registrant"), is a one-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Registrant was formed for the purpose of
enabling Huron National Bank (hereinafter referred to as the "Bank") to form a
one-bank holding company. The Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Registrant on May 8, 1990. The Registrant's only subsidiary and significant
asset as of December 31, 1997 is the Bank. The Registrant and its subsidiary
operate in the Banking industry, which accounts for substantially all of their
assets, revenues and operating income.
The Bank was organized in 1980 under the laws of the United States. Its
deposits, to the extent allowed by law, are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. The Bank's main office is located at 200 East Erie,
Rogers City, Michigan.
Further discussion of the Registrant's business is presented in the Business
section on page 9 in the 1997 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.
REGULATION
The Registrant is subject to supervision by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. The Board of Governors must grant prior approval for the
acquisition by a banking holding company of more than 5% of the voting stock or
substantially all the assets of any bank or bank holding company or non-bank
company.
In approving proposed acquisitions by the Registrant, the Board of Governors
considers a number of factors including expected benefits to the public such as
greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency, weighed
against the risk of possible adverse effects such as undue concentration of
resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound
banking practices. The Board of Governors is empowered to give these factors
different weight in the case of activities commenced de novo than it does in
considering the acquisition of a going concern.
The Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and regular examination by the
Officer of the Comptroller of the Currency. The regulations of this agency
affect most aspects of the Bank's business and prescribed permissible types of
loans and investments, requirements for branch offices, the permissible scope of
the Bank's activities and impose various other requirements.
A holding company, and any of its subsidiary banks, are also prohibited from
engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension of
credit or supplying of property or services. For example, the Bank generally may
not extend credit on the condition that the customer obtain some additional
service from the Bank or the Registrant or refrain from obtaining such service
from a competitor.
The Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act
on "covered transactions" with the Registrant or a subsidiary. The "covered
transactions" that an insured bank and its subsidiaries are permitted to engage
in with their nonbank affiliates are limited to the following amounts: (i) in
the case of any one such affiliate, the aggregate amount of "covered
transactions" of the insured bank and its subsidiaries cannot exceed 10% of the
capital stock and surplus of the insured bank; and (ii) in the case of all
affiliates, the aggregate amount of all "covered transactions": of the insured
bank and its subsidiaries cannot exceed 20% of the capital stock and surplus of
the insured bank. "Covered "transactions: are defined by statute to include a
loan or extension of credit to the affiliate, a purchase of securities issued by
an affiliate, a purchase of assets from the affiliate (unless otherwise exempted
by the Federal Reserve), the acceptance of securities issued by the affiliate as
collateral for a loan, and the issuance of a guaranty, acceptance, or letter of
credit for the benefit of an affiliate. Covered transactions must also be
collateralized. The Federal Reserve Act
<PAGE>
PART-I ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
REGULATION (continued)
further requires that (i) "covered transactions" with affiliates; (ii) asset
sales to affiliates; (iii) contractual arrangements with affiliates; (iv)
transactions in which an affiliate acts as an agent or broker; and (v) any
transaction in which an affiliate has a financial interest or is a participant,
must be made: (x) on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards,
that are substantially the same as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with or involving other nonaffiliated companies; or (y) in the
absence of comparable transactions, on terms and under circumstances, including
credit standards, that in good faith would be offered to, or would apply to,
nonaffiliated companies. Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also
placed on extensions of credit by the Bank to its directors and officers, to
directors and officers of the Registrant, to principal shareholders of the
Registrant, and to "related interests" of such directors, officers and principal
shareholders. In addition, such legislation and regulations may affect the terms
upon which any person becoming a director or officer of the Registrant or the
Bank or a principal shareholder of the Registrant may obtain credit from banks
with which the Bank maintains a correspondent relationship.
On July 10, 1995, the FDIC, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal
Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency published final
guidelines implementing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act (FDICIA) requirement that the federal banking agencies establish operational
and managerial standards to promote the safety and soundness of federally
insured depository institutions. The guidelines, which took effect on August 9,
1995, establish standards for internal controls, information systems, internal
audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure,
asset growth, and compensation, fees and benefits. In general, the guidelines
prescribe the goals to be achieved in each area, and each institution is
responsible for establishing its own procedures to achieve those goals. If an
institution fails to comply with any of the standards set forth in the
guidelines, the institution's primary federal regulator may require the
institution to submit a plan for achieving and maintaining compliance. The
preamble to the guidelines states that the agencies expect to require a
compliance plan from an institution whose failure to meet one or more of the
standards is of such severity that it could threaten the safe and sound
operation of the institution. Failure to submit an acceptable compliance plan,
or failure to adhere to a compliance plan that has been accepted by the
appropriate regulator, would constitute grounds for further enforcement action.
The federal banking agencies have also published for comment proposed asset
quality and earnings standards which, if adopted, would be added to the safety
and soundness guidelines. This proposal, like the final guidelines, would make
each depository institution responsible for establishing its own procedures to
meet such goals.
The Registrant and the Bank are currently in compliance with the minimum capital
requirements applicable to such institutions. Prompted by the enactment of
FDICIA, the FDIC has established a system of risk-based deposit insurance
premiums. Based on the Bank's prevailing capital ratios, the Bank has been
paying the minimum rate of FDIC insurance since the assessment period that began
January 1, 1996.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
The Bank is actively engaged in originating within the Bank's market area real
estate mortgage loans, commercial loans and installment loans. The Bank's loan
portfolio totaled $19,853,701 at December 31, 1997. This represents 62.80% of
its total assets. At that date, 53.32% consisted of real estate mortgage loans,
32.72% consisted of installment loans and 13.96% consisted of commercial loans.
Residential Mortgage Loans: The Bank offers residential mortgage loans with
fixed rates of interest and loans with provision for periodic adjustments to the
interest rate with three-year balloon provisions. The Bank policy is to invest
in residential mortgage loans in an original principal amount not to exceed 80%
of the market value of the mortgaged real estate (referred to as the
"loan-to-value ratio").
<PAGE>
PART-I ITEM 1 - BUSINESS (continued)
In the appraisal process, the Bank assesses both the borrower's ability to repay
the loan and the adequacy of the proposed security. In connection therewith, the
Bank obtains an appraisal of the secured property and information concerning the
income, financial condition, employment and credit history of the applicant. The
Bank requires title insurance insuring the priority of its lien and fire and
extended coverage casualty insurance in order to protect the property securing
its real estate loans.
Commercial Mortgage Loans: The Bank makes mortgage loans on commercial real
estate properties such as office buildings, vacant land and industrial
buildings, most of which are located in Presque Isle County.
In its underwriting of commercial property real estate loans, the Bank may lend
up to 80% of the securing property's appraised value, although the Bank's
loan-to-value ratio on income producing property real estate loans is generally
75% or less.
Commercial real estate lending is generally considered to involve a higher risk
than single family residential lending due to the financial sensitivity of real
estate projects and developers to general economic conditions. In originating
such real estate loans, the Bank endeavors to reduce the risk by considering the
credit of the borrower, the location of the real estate, and the quality of the
management, construction and administration of the property.
Installment Loans: The Bank makes various types of installment loans, including
automobile loans, marine loans, recreational vehicle loans, home equity loans,
loans to depositors secured by their deposit accounts, and secured and unsecured
personal loans. The maturity of installment loans varies depending on the type
of loan. Home equity, marine and recreational vehicle maturities can be up to 15
years. Most other types of installment loans have maturities of less than eight
years. The interest rate on the majority of installment loans is fixed.
Commercial Loans: The Bank makes commercial loans (other than commercial
mortgage loans) to manufacturers, retailers, and farmers for the purchase of
equipment, for working capital and for renovations. Commercial loans generally
have a higher degree of risk than do mortgage loans. While mortgage loans are
secured by real estate property the value of which tends to be readily
ascertainable, commercial loans typically are made on the basis of the
borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the business and are
either unsecured or secured by business assets, such as accounts receivable,
equipment and inventory. As a result, the availability of funds for the
repayment of commercial loans may be substantially dependent upon the success of
the business itself.
COMPETITION
The Bank's primary market area consists of Presque Isle County, Michigan where
its sole office is located. The Bank encounters strong competition both in the
attraction of deposits and the making of real estate and other loans. Huron
National Bank is the smaller of two banks located in Rogers City. The other was
purchased by a Bank Holding Company and converted into a branch office. The Bank
also competes for loans and deposits with a savings and loan institution and two
credit unions. In addition, a total of three other Banks operate branches in
Presque Isle County, and money market funds also compete for deposits in the
Bank's service area. The principal methods used by the Bank to attract deposit
accounts include the variety of services offered, the interest rate offered and
the convenience of office location. The Bank's competition for real estate and
other loans comes from these same financial institutions. The Bank competes for
loans through interest rates, loan maturities, loan fees and the quality of
service extended to borrowers.
In addition to the financial institutions which have offices in Presque Isle
County, the Bank competes with several commercial banks and savings and loans
institutions in surrounding counties, many of which are larger than the Bank.

section on page 9 in the 1997 Annual Report incorporated herein by reference.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section presents information relevant to understanding and assessing the
consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Huron National
Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Huron National Bank. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related footnotes contained elsewhere in this report.
SUMMARY
Net income of $337,931 was reported in 1997 compared to net income of $306,938
in 1996 and $306,207 in 1995. Basic earnings per share was $5.41 in 1997
compared to $4.91 in 1996 and $4.90 in 1995. For 1997, return on average assets
and average equity equaled 1.08% and 13.56%, respectively. This compares to
1.03% and 12.99% in 1996 and 1.16% and 14.30% in 1995.
As of year-end, total assets were $31,615,138, an increase of $1,322,868 or
4.37% over December 31, 1996. This increase followed an increase of $2,540,651
in 1996's total assets over 1995's. Total loans increased $667,517 at December
31, 1997 when compared to December 31, 1996, while securities decreased $516,630
and cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,053,036 for the same period. These
increases were funded by growth in customer deposits. In total, the Bank's
deposits increased from $27,594,010 in 1996 to $28,712,049 in 1997, with time
deposits growth of $321,617 and non-interest bearing transactions accounts of
$532,436. Customers are now committing funds for extended periods of time.
Shareholders' equity as a percent of assets increased to 8.47% at December 31,
1997 compared to 8.05% for December 31, 1996. This is the result of the
Company's earnings keeping pace with asset growth.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Analysis of Net Interest Income
The difference between interest generated by the Bank's earning assets and
interest paid on liabilities is referred to as net interest income, the most
significant component of the Bank's earnings. In 1997, net interest income, on a
fully tax equivalent basis increased by $90,284 compared to 1996. The increase
in the level of deposits to a small extent offset the positive impact on net
interest income from the increase in interest earning assets.
The following table summarizes the increases in net interest income.
<TABLE>
Net Interest Income
(In thousands; fully taxable equivalent basis) 1997 1996 1995

Increase in Net Interest Income $90 $13 $13
Percent Increase of Net Interest Income 7.88% 1.16% 1.16%
</TABLE>
<PAGE>
The two variables that have the most significant effect on the change in the net
interest income are volume and rate. Below is a chart which illustrates the
impact of changes in these two important variables for 1997 and 1996.

</TABLE>
(1) For purposes of these tables, changes in interest due to volume and
rate were determined as follows:
Volume Variance-change in volume multiplied by the previous year's rate.
Rate Variance-change in rate multiplied by the previous year's volume.
Rate/Volume Variance-change in volume multiplied by the change in rate.
This variance was allocated to volume variance and rate variance in
proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the change
in each.
Analysis of the Bank's net yield on earning assets is also used to evaluate
changes in net interest income. The net yield on earning assets employs an
effective cost of funds by recognizing interest-free liabilities and
shareholders' equity which fund earning assets, and is computed by dividing net
interest income by earning assets.
<PAGE>
The table below summarizes the Company's average balances, interest
income/expense, interest rates, net yield on earning assets, and interest rate
spread.

(1) Average balances for loans include impaired loans in 1997, 1996 and 1995.
The inclusion of these loans does not have a material effect on either the
average balance or the interest income. As indicated in Note 1 to the
accompanying consolidated financial statements of Huron National Bancorp, Inc.,
as of January 1, 1995, the Company began following guidance provided by SFAS No.
114 to recognize impaired loans.
<PAGE>
Non-Interest Income
The Company recorded noninterest income of $135,432, a decrease of $11,915 or
(8.09)% from $147,347 in 1996. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in
service charges on returned checks and non-sufficient funds in 1997.
Non-Interest Expense
During 1997, noninterest expense increased by $32,304 or 4.11% from $786,566 in
1996 to $818,870 in 1997. The increases included $20,709 in salaries & benefits
which included contributions to the SEP Plan and the normal increase in
salaries. The other increases include $8,223 in Premises & Equipment and $8,163
in Legal & Accounting Fees.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $133,356 in 1997 compared to $138,507 in
1996, a decrease of $5,151 or (3.72)%. This was a result of non-taxable
municipal investment securities. The effective tax rate, derived by dividing
applicable income tax expense by income before taxes, was 28% in 1997 and 31% in
1996.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
The Bank's principal asset/liability management objectives include the
maintenance of adequate liquidity and appropriate interest rate sensitivity
while maximizing net interest income.
Liquidity is generally defined as the ability to meet cash flow requirements.
For a bank, meeting cash flow requirements means having funds available to
satisfy customer credit needs as well as having funds available to meet
depositor withdrawal requests. For the parent company, liquidity means having
funds available to pay cash dividends and other operating expenses.
The Bank's primary sources of short-term liquidity are its securities available
for sale and ability to raise money through federal funds purchased. Its longer
term sources of liquidity are maturities of securities, loan repayments, normal
deposit growth and negotiable certificates of deposit. The primary source of
funds for the parent company is the upstream of dividends from the Bank.
Management believes the Bank has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its
anticipated requirements.
As previously noted, interest income and interest expense are also dependent on
changing interest rates. The relative impact of changing interest rates on net
interest income depends on the rate sensitivity to such changes. Rate
sensitivity generally depends on maturity structures, call provisions, repayment
penalties etc. of the respective financial instruments. The Bank's exposure or
sensitivity to changing interest rates is measured by the ratio of
rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities. Management believes that
the Bank's rate sensitive position is adequate in a normal interest rate
movement environment.

GAP Analysis
The following table as of December 31, 1997 reflects how management has matched
assets to liabilities that mature or have the ability to reprice in the
following time frame:
<TABLE>

Cumulative GAP $(11,806,000) $(11,137,000) $(7,137,000) $(1,574,000) $3,641,000
</TABLE>
Interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts are classified as repricing in
0-90 days as these instruments provide management with the discretion to adjust
their rates. Further, because this category has no maturity schedule or early
withdrawal penalty, depositors are free to move their funds based on rate alone.
Therefore, management recognizes that these categories, although generally lower
costing funds, are rate sensitive to the extent of interest rate movements.
The Bank's cumulative 1 year GAP position decreased from ($13,624,000) at
December 31, 1996 to ($11,137,000) at December 31, 1997 as a result of an
increase of asset maturities in the investment area. Management believes that
the GAP overstates true interest sensitivity. Interest exposure is not as
significant as expressed in the above schedule as rates on interest-bearing
transaction and savings accounts may not reprice on an "instant basis".
Management believes liabilities do not need to be repriced as soon as rates
begin to move which gives them a "lag time" in the market and for the assets to
reprice. It is also their belief that they are in a sufficient position to
minimize any adverse effect to the Bank's financial position due to interest
rate changes.
Capital
Management attempts to maintain sufficient capital to take advantage of market
opportunities, yet provide a fair return to its shareholders.
The National Bank Act places limitations on the ability of the Bank to declare
and pay dividends. As a general matter, the Bank may not pay dividends greater
than the total of the Bank's net profits for that year combined with its
retained net profits of the two preceding years. Further, the Comptroller of the
Currency may prohibit the payment of cash dividends where it deems the payment
to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Under the most restrictive of the
dividend restrictions, in 1998 the Bank could pay additional dividends of
approximately $465,000 plus 1998 net income to the Holding Company.
<PAGE>
Management believes that a strong capital position is paramount to its continued
profitability and continued depositor and investor confidence. It also provides
Huron National Bank flexibility to take advantage of growth opportunities and to
accommodate larger Bank loan customers. Regulators have established "risk-based"
capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. Because of the
Company's and Bank's size, regulatory capital requirements apply only to the
Bank.
Under the guidelines, minimum capital levels are established for risk based and
total assets. For the risk based computation, the ratio is based on the
perceived risk in asset categories and certain off-balance-sheet items, such as
standby letters of credit. The guidelines define Tier 1 capital and Tier 2
capital. Tier 1 capital includes common shareholders' equity, while Tier 2
Capital adds the allowance for loan losses. Tier 1 Capital cannot exceed Tier 2
Capital. Banks are required to have ratios of Tier 1 Capital to risk weighted
assets of 4% and total capital (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) of 8%. At December 31, 1997,
Huron National Bank had capital ratios well above the minimum regulatory
guidelines as noted within footnote 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Loans and Loan Review Process
Maintaining high asset quality is a key determinant of the Bank's success.
Therefore, management continually monitors impaired, non-performing and
delinquent loans and reports them monthly to the Board of Directors.
Non-accrual and loans past due 90 days or more approximated $33,018 or 0.17% of
total loans at December 31, 1997 compared to approximately $36,952 or 0.19% a
year earlier.
The provision for loan losses was $36,000 in 1997 and 1996 and $33,500 in 1995.
For the same years, charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $30,324, $5,145 and
$37,129, respectively.
The allowance for loan losses is at $180,631 or 0.91% of total loans at December
31, 1997 compared to $174,955 or 0.91% of total loans at year-end 1996. The
allowance is consistent with Management's recognition of problem loans along
with Management's strategy to emphasize the quality of the loan portfolio. The
allowance is considered adequate by Management. (see also Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements)
Effects of Inflation
Inflation can have a significant affect on the reported financial operating
results of all industries. This is especially true in industries with a high
proportion of fixed assets and inventory. Inflation has an impact on the growth
of total assets in the banking industry and the need to maintain a proper level
of equity capital.
Interest rates are significantly affected by inflation, but it is difficult to
assess the impact since neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes in
the consumer price index coincide with changes in interest rates. There is, of
course, an impact on longer-term earning assets; however, this effect continues
to diminish as investment maturities are shortened and interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities shift from fixed-rate long-term to
rate-sensitive short-term.

BUSINESS
Huron National Bancorp, Inc., along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Huron
National Bank, provides its customers with a full line of commercial banking
services with its only office located in Rogers City, Michigan. The Bank's
customer base consists of individuals, agricultural concerns, resort and related
businesses and small to medium-sized manufacturing companies. The Bank's service
area consists primarily of Presque Isle County in the northeastern portion of
Michigan's lower peninsula.
Huron National Bank is the largest of two banks located in Rogers City. The
other was purchased by a bank holding company and converted into a branch
office. The Bank also competes for loans and deposits with a savings and loan
institution, and two credit unions. In addition, a total of three other Banks
operate branches in Presque Isle County, and money market funds also compete for
deposits in the Bank's service area.
The Bank regularly makes commitments for secured term loans and commitments for
lines of credit. These lines of credit are reviewed on an annual basis by the
Bank's Board of Directors. However, these commitments are firm only to the
extent that the respective borrower maintains a satisfactory credit history and
does not represent any unusual credit risk. The Bank had $1,832,000 and
$1,422,000 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 in outstanding lines of credit and
commitments to make loans of which $770,142 and $588,022 were still available to
the respective borrower. Furthermore, the Bank had issued letters of credit
totaling $244,901 as of December 31, 1997.
A portion of the Bank's deposits are obtained from and loans made to
agricultural concerns and resort and related businesses. There are no other
material concentrations of credit to, nor have other material portions of the
deposits been received from, a single person, persons, industry or group.
The economy of the market area served by the Bank is significantly influenced by
the seasonal effects of the tourist and agricultural industries. The business of
the Bank has been only mildly affected by the seasonal aspects of these
components of the local economy.
As of December 31, 1997, the Bank did not have any foreign sources or
applications of funds.
Compliance with federal, state, and local statutes and/or ordinances relating to
the protection of the environment is not expected to have any material effect
upon the Bank's capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position.
The Bank employed 14 full-time employees and 4 part-time employees at December
31, 1997.
The Bank does not offer commercial, consumer, international, trust, or municipal
trading services.

HURON NATIONAL BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS ~ The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Huron National Bancorp, Inc. ("the Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Huron National Bank (the "Bank"). All material intercompany balances
and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company is engaged in the business of commercial and retail banking,
with operations conducted through its office located in Rogers City, Michigan.
The surrounding communities are the source of substantially all of the Company's
deposit and loan activities. The majority of the Company's income is derived
from commercial and retail lending activities. Primarily all installment and
residential loans are secured by real and personal property. Approximately 90%
of commercial loans are secured by real estate.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ~ The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as
well as affecting the disclosures provided. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Areas involving the use of management's estimates and
assumptions include the allowance for loan losses, the realization of deferred
tax assets, fair values of financial instruments, the determination and carrying
value of impaired loans, and depreciation of premises and equipment. Estimates
that are more susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for
loan losses and the fair values of financial instruments.
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 separately in shareholders'
equity, net of tax. Securities are classified as trading when held for short
term periods in anticipation of market gains, and are carried at fair value.
Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not
temporary.
Gains and losses on sales are determined using the amortized cost of the
specific security sold. Interest income includes amortization of purchase
premiums and discounts.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES ~ Because some loans may not be repaid in full,
an allowance for loan losses is recorded. Increases to the allowance are
recorded by a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Estimating the risk
of loss and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective.
Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by management at a level considered
adequate to cover losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss
experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower
situations including their financial position and collateral values, and other
factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. While management
may periodically allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem loan
situations, the whole allowance is available for any charge-offs that occur. A
loan is charged-off against the allowance by management as a loss when deemed
uncollectible, although collection efforts may continue and future recoveries
may occur.
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Nos. 114 and 118 were
effective January 1, 1995 and require recognition and disclosures of loan
impairment. Loans are considered impaired if full principal or interest payments
are not anticipated. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value
of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the
allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans. The effect of adopting
these standards is included in the 1995 provision for loan losses, and was not
material.
<PAGE>
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such
loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family
residences, residential construction loans, and automobile, home equity and
second mortgage loans. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other
properties are evaluated individually for impairment. When analysis of borrower
operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows
of the borrower's business are not adequate to meet its debt service
requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment.
Often this is associated with a delay or shortfall in payments of 30 days or
more. Loans are generally moved to nonaccrual status when 90 days or more past
due. These loans are often also considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions
thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible. This typically occurs when
the loan is 120 days or more past due.
LOANS ~ Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of
deferred loan fees and costs, the allowance for loan losses, and charge-offs.
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 payments are past due over 120 days. Payments received on such loans are
reported as principal reductions.
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT ~ Bank premises and equipment are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using both
straight-line and accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives.
Maintenance, repairs and minor alterations are charged to current operations as
expenditures occur, and major improvements are capitalized. These assets are
reviewed for impairment when events indicate the carrying amount may not be
recoverable.
OTHER REAL ESTATE ~ Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is
initially reported at estimated fair value at acquisition. After acquisition, a
valuation allowance reduces the reported amount to the lower of the initial
amount or fair value less costs to sell. Expenses, gains and losses on
disposition, and changes in the valuation allowance are reported in net loss on
other real estate.
INCOME TAXES ~ Income tax expense is the sum 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 consequences of
temporary differences between the 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.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS ~ Cash and cash equivalents is defined to include
cash on hand, demand deposits in other institutions and federal funds sold.
Federal funds are generally sold for one days periods. The Company reports
customer loan transactions and deposit transactions on a net cash flow basis.
EARNINGS PER SHARE ~ On March 3, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement 128, Earnings Per Share, which is effective for
financial statements beginning with year end 1997. Statement 128 simplifies the
calculation of earnings per share by replacing primary EPS with basic EPS. It
also requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for entities with
complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could
share in earnings, such as stock options, warrants or other common stock
equivalents. The Company expects Statement 128 to have little impact on its
earnings per share calculations in future years, other than changing terminology
to basic EPS. All prior period EPS data is restated to conform with the new
presentation. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average
number of shares outstanding. The number of shares used in the computation of
basic earnings per share was 62,500 for all years presented.
RECLASSIFICATIONS ~ Some items in prior financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include letters of credit and unused lines of credit. The
Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
parties to the financial instruments is presented by the contractual amount of
those instruments. The Bank follows the same credit policy to make such
financial instruments as is followed for those loans recorded in the financial
statements.
As of December 31, the Bank had outstanding letters of credit, commitments to
make loans and unused lines of credit as follows:
<TABLE>
1997 1996
<S> <C> <C>
Outstanding letters of credit $244,901 $247,179
Commitments to make loans
and Unused lines of credit $770,142 $588,022
</TABLE>
All commitments above are at fixed rates and carry rates of interest from 8.5%
to 11% and generally expire within 1 year.
Since certain commitments to make loans and fund lines of credit expire without
being used, the amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments.
From time to time claims are made against the Company in the normal course of
business. There were no material outstanding claims at December 31, 1997.
The Company's loan and deposit relationships are not concentrated in any
particular industry, nor is there significant dependence on any one employer.
Noninterest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold and held by NBD Bank,
amounted to $3,500,591 and $2,500,792 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
NOTE 11 - DIVIDENDS
Guidelines with respect to maintenance of capital adopted by federal banking law
limits the amount of cash dividends the Bank can pay to the Holding Company to
the extent of net retained profits (as defined by the regulatory agencies) for
the current and two preceding years, and is further limited by the requirement
that the Bank maintain positive retained earnings. Under the most restrictive of
the above regulations, in 1998 the Bank is limited to paying additional
dividends of approximately $465,000 plus 1998 net income.
NOTE 12 - PENSION PLAN
The Bank has a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) Plan that became effective
January 31, 1995. It is a defined contribution plan. Employees become eligible
to participate in the SEP Plan after two years of service in the immediately
preceding five plan years and after attaining the age of 21. In each plan year
the Bank may contribute to the Plan the lesser of $30,000 or a percentage of
each participant's compensation as reported on Form W-2. The contribution is
determined annually by the Bank's Board of Directors. Also, participants may
make contributions to the Plan subject to certain requirements and limitations.
In all cases, Bank and participant contributions may not exceed limitations
established by the Internal Revenue Service. Expense recognized by the Bank in
relation to the SEP Plan for the year ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was
$7,348, $7,314 and $7,008, respectively.

NOTE 13 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value.
Carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for cash equivalents,
interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions, Federal Reserve stock,
accrued interest receivable and payable, the allowance for loan losses, demand
deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits.
Fair value of other financial instruments is estimated as follows:
Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted
market prices for similar instruments.
Fair value of fixed and variable rate loans is principally estimated by
discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same
remaining maturities.
The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by
discounting cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
remaining maturities.
The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to
enter similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For
fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between
current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of
letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or
on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with
the counterparties at the reporting date. The fair value of commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit were immaterial at the reporting
date presented.
The carrying values and fair values of the Company's financial instruments (in
thousands) are as follows as of year-end.

NOTE 14 - REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company and Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered
by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective
action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative
judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors, and
the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet
various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a
direct material effect on the financial statements.
<PAGE>
NOTE 14 - REGULATORY MATTERS (continued)
The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including
well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not
used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized,
regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If
undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and
expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.
At year-end, the Bank's actual capital levels (in millions) and minimum required
levels were:
