Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to address significant
factors affecting the Corporation's consolidated financial statements during
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  It provides a more detailed and
comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could
be obtained from the financial statements alone.
        

                    SIX MONTHS, 1997 VERSUS SIX MONTHS, 1996

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the principal source of earnings, is the amount of
interest income generated by earning assets (principally investment securities
and loans) less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities (largely
deposits and other borrowings).  As indicated in the income statement on page 5
interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $10,635,000 compared
to $10,047,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents an increase of
5.9%.  The primary factors contributing to the interest income increase are
growth in the Company's loan portfolio (the largest group of earning assets)
and investment securities.  Also indicated in the income statement, interest
expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $4,561,000 compared to
$4,205,000 for the same period in  1996.  This represents an increase of 8.5%.
Increases in the Company's certificate of deposit balances, savings account
balances  and interest rates caused the increase in interest expense.  Balances
increased due to greater market penetration in existing markets, growth in new
market areas, and a change in consumer behavior toward certificates and savings
products as market interest rates increased.


ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) reflects management's judgment as to the
level considered appropriate to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan
portfolio.  Fentura's subsidiary, The State Bank's, methodology in determining
the adequacy of the  ALL includes a review of individual loans and off-balance
sheet arrangements, historical loss experience, current economic conditions,
portfolio trends, and other pertinent factors.  Although reserves have been
allocated to various portfolio segments, the ALL is general in nature and is
available for the portfolio in its entirety.  At June 30, 1997, the ALL was
$2,930,000, or 1.62% of total loans.  This compares with $2,810,000, or 1.65%,
at June 30, 1996.

The provision for loan losses was $312,000 for the first six months of 1997 and
$330,000 for the same period in 1996.  The primary reason for decreasing the
provision was the maintenance  of an adequate allowance.


NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income was $1,673,000 for the first half of 1997 and $1,697,000 in
the same period of 1996.  This figure represents an decrease of 1.4% in 1997.
Table 1 provides a more detailed breakdown of the components of non-interest
income than can be found in the income statement on page 5.

The most significant category of non-interest income is service charges on
deposit accounts.  These fees were $758,000 in the first half of 1997 and
$638,000 in the same period of 1996.  This represents an increase of 18.8%
The increase occurred from the deposit growth the company experienced in its
existing and new markets from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997.

Gain on the sale of mortgage loans originated by the bank and sold in the
secondary market were $135,000 in the first six months of 1997 and $194,000 in
the same period in 1996.  This 30.4% 







<PAGE>   10


decrease occurred because of strong competitive pressures and a reduction in
the margins of these sold mortgage loans.
        
Gains on the sale of other real estate were $1,000 in the first six months of
1997 compared to $140,000 for the same period in 1996.  This decrease occurred
because  the Corporation  began 1996 with several pieces of other real estate
which were sold in the second quarter.  In 1997 the Corporation had and sold
fewer other real estate properties.

Fiduciary income increased $67,000 in the first six months of 1997 compared to
the same time period in the prior year.  This 43.8% increase in fees is
attributed to growth in the assets under management within the Corporation's
Investment Trust Department.

Other operating income, which includes income from the sale of checks, safe
deposit box rent, mortgage servicing rights income, and other miscellaneous
income items, was $363,000 in the first six months of 1997 compared to $376,000
in the same period of 1996.  This decrease of 3.5% is primarily attributable to
a one time credit insurance premium refund received in 1996 which was based on
loss experience for the preceding calendar year.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $5,140,000 in the first half of 1997 compared
with $4,926,000 in the same period of 1996.  This is an increase of 4.3%.

Salary and benefit costs, Fentura's largest non-interest expense category, were
$2,515,000 in the first six months of 1997, compared with $2,217,000 for the
first six months of 1996.  1997 salary costs represent an increase of 13.4%
over 1996.  Increased costs are primarily a result of adding new positions to
staff two new branches opened in the last half of 1996.

During the first six months of 1997 equipment expenses were $693,000 compared
to $632,000 for the same period in 1996.  Depreciation on equipment (mostly
computer hardware and software) for the new branch and increased  costs for
maintenance contracts on the Corporation's computer systems are the primary
reasons for the increase in equipment expense.

Occupancy expenses associated with the Company's facilities were $337,000 in
the first half  of 1997 compared to $308,000 in the same period of 1996.  This
represents an increase of 9.4%.  The primary reason for the increase in
occupancy expense is the cost associated with leasing and operating the two new
branch facilities and increases in costs associated with grounds maintenance.

Loan and collection expenses were $199,000 in the first half of 1997 compared
to $186,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase of 7.0%.  The increase is
primarily attributable to an increase in indirect consumer loan volume and
accordingly, an increase in dealer reserve expense.

<PAGE>   11


FDIC assessment expense was $13,000 in the first six months of 1997 compared to
$1,000 in the same period of 1996.  The increase is attributable to the FDIC's
reinstatement of required reserves.

In the first half  of 1997, the Company did not experience a loss on security
transactions compared to $67,000 for the same period in 1996.  The losses were
associated with the sale of investment securities which the Company sold in
order to reinvest in issues with higher interest rates.

Other operating expenses were $1,088,000 in the first half of 1997 compared to
$1,208,000 in the first half of 1996.  The decrease in expense is attributable
to loss of $125,000 on a litigation settlement which occurred in the second
quarter of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

Asset/Liability management procedures are designed to assure liquidity and
reduce interest rate risks.  The goal in managing interest rate risk is to
maintain a strong and relatively stable net interest margin.  It is the
responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO) to set policy
guidelines and to establish short-term and long-term strategies with respect to
interest rate exposure and liquidity.  ALCO, which is comprised of key members
of management, meets regularly to review Fentura's financial performance and
soundness, including interest rate risk and liquidity exposure in relation to
present and perspective markets, business conditions, and product lines.
Accordingly, the committee adopts funding and balance sheet management
strategies that are intended to determine that earnings, liquidity, and growth
rates are consistent with policy and prudent business standards.

Liquidity maintenance together with a solid capital base and strong earnings
performance are key objectives of the Corporation.  The Bank's liquidity is
derived from a strong deposit base comprised of individual and business
deposits.  Deposit accounts of customers in the mature market represent a
substantial portion of deposits of individuals.  The Bank's deposit base plus
other funding sources (federal funds purchased, other liabilities and
shareholders' equity) provided primarily all funding needs in the first six
months of 1997 and 1996.

Primary liquidity is provided through short-term investments or borrowings
(including federal funds sold and purchased) and secondary liquidity is
provided by the investment portfolio.  As of June 30, 1997 federal funds sold
represented 3.1% of total assets, compared to 2.5% at June 30, 1996.  The
Corporation regularly monitors liquidity to ensure adequate cash flows to cover
unanticipated reductions in the availability of funding sources.

Interest rate risk is managed by controlling and limiting the level of earnings
volatility arising from rate movements.  The Corporation regularly performs
reviews and analysis of those factors impacting interest rate risk.  Factors
include maturity and re-pricing frequency of balance sheet components, impact
of rate changes on interest margin and prepayment speeds, market value impacts
of rate changes, and other issues.  Both actual and projected performance are
reviewed, analyzed, and compared to policy and objectives to assure present and
future financial viability.





<PAGE>   12


As indicated in the statement of cash flows, cash flows from financing
activities have increased due to growth in deposits.  In the first six months
of 1997 time deposits increased $4,890,000 and demand and savings deposits
increased $1,907,000.   Comparatively, in the first six months of 1996, cash
flows from financing activities were growth in Time deposits of $5,819,000 and
a decline of demand and savings deposits of $3,187,000.  Cash flows from
investing activities were ($10,209,000) during the first six months of 1997 and
($6,218,000) in the same period of 1996.  The primary reason for the increase
in investing activities was an increase in deposits creating funding for
increases in the investment and loan portfolios.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Total shareholders' equity rose 13.6% to $25,551,000 at June 30, 1997 compared
with $22,499,000  at June 30, 1996.  The Company's equity to asset ratio was
9.8% at June 30, 1997 and 9.3% at June 30, 1996.  The increase in the amount of
capital was obtained through retained earnings and the proceeds from the
issuance of new shares.  In the first half  of 1997, the Company increased its
cash dividends by 7.0% to $.76 per share compared with $.71 in the first half
of 1996.

As indicated on the balance sheet on page 4, at June 30, 1997 the Company had
an unrealized loss on securities available for sale (AFS) of $161,000 compared
to an unrealized loss at June  30, 1996 of $579,000.  This decrease in
unrealized loss is attributable to market interest rates and the interest rate
structures on those securities held in the Company's AFS portfolio.


                SECOND QUARTER, 1997 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER, 1996

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the principal source of earnings, is the amount of
interest income generated by earning assets (principally investment securities
and loans) less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities (largely
deposits and other borrowings).  As indicated in the income statement on page 5
interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $5,351,000 and
compared to $5,049,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents an
increase of 6.0%.  The primary factors contributing to the interest income
increase are growth in the Company's loan portfolio (the largest group of
earning assets) and investment securities.  Also indicated in the income
statement, interest expense for the three  months ended June 30, 1997 was
$2,310,000 compared to $2,086,000 for the same period in  1996.  This
represents an increase of 10.7%.  Increases in the Company's savings account
and certificate of deposit balances caused the increase in interest expense.
Balances increased due to greater market penetration in existing markets and
growth in new markets.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses was $156,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997 and $150,000 for the same period in 1996.
        
NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income was $866,000 in the second quarter of 1997 and $883,000 in
the same period of 1996.  This figure represents an decrease of 1.9% in 1997.
Table 3 provides a detailed breakdown of the components of non-interest income.

The most significant category of non-interest income is service charges on
deposit accounts.  These fees were $396,000 in the second quarter of 1997 and
$327,000 in the same period of 1996.  This represents an increase of 21.1%.
The increase occurred from the deposit growth the company experienced in its
existing and new markets throughout the last year.





<PAGE>   13


During the second quarter of 1997 there were no gains on the sale of other
real estate compared to $140,000 for the same period in 1996.  This increase
occurred because  the Corporation  began 1996 with several pieces of other real
estate which were sold in the second quarter.  In the second quarter of 1997
the Corporation had no other real estate properties.

Fiduciary income was $114,000 in the second quarter of 1997 compared to $82 in
the same period of 1996,  an increase of $32,000 or 39.0%.  The increase in
fees is attributed to growth in the assets under management within the
Corporation's Investment Trust Department.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $2,532,000 in the second quarter of 1997
compared with $2,533,000 in the same period of 1996.

Salary and benefit costs, Fentura's largest non-interest expense category, were
$1,226,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1997, compared with $1,124,000 for the
same period in 1996.  1997 salary costs represent an increase of 9.1% over
1996. Increased costs are primarily a result of adding new positions to staff
two new branches opened in the last half on 1996.

During the second quarter of 1997 equipment expenses were $354,000 compared to
$330,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase of 7.3%.  Equipment (mostly
computer hardware and software) for the new branch and increased  costs for
maintenance contracts are the primary reasons for the increase in equipment
expense costs.

FDIC assessment expense was $7,000 in the second quarter of 1997 compared to
$1,000 in the same period of 1996.  The increase is attributable to the FDIC's
reinstatement of required reserves

Advertising expenses were $67,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared
to $96,000 in the same quarter of 1996.  This is a decrease of 30.2%.  Expenses
associated with certain promotional and media related transactions were reduced
in 1997.

Other operating expenses were $556,000 in the second quarter of 1997 compared
to $659,000 in the same period of 1996.  The decrease in expense is
attributable to loss of $125,000 on a litigation settlement which occurred in
the second quarter of 1996.
