Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.  Basis of presentation
         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         for interim financial information and the instructions for Form - 10Q
         and Article 9 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
         of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
         principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
         management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
         considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
         Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
         ended December 31, 1998.

Note 2.  Reclassifications
         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
         current year financial statement presentation.

Note 3.  During the first quarter of 1998 the Corporation adopted the
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130 "Reporting
         Comprehensive Income". The statement requires that entities present
         items of other comprehensive income in a financial statement with the
         same prominence as other financial statements. This statement requires
         reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods for
         comparative purposes.

         The adoption for SFAS No. 130 does not effect the net income of the
         Corporation.

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 three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. It provides a more detailed and
comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could
be obtained from the financial statements alone.


                  THREE MONTHS, 1998 VERSUS THREE MONTHS, 1997

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). Table 1 summarizes the changes in net interest income
resulting from changes in volume and rates for the quarters ended March 31, 1998
and 1997. As indicated in the table, during 1998 net interest income increased
due to the increase in volume of earning assets and both the reduction of volume
and rate of interest bearing liabilities. Table 1 also indicates that the
increase in net interest income in 1997 was due to an increase in volume of
earning assets. Net interest income (displayed without consideration of full tax
equivalency), average balance sheet amounts, and the corresponding yields for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are shown in Table 2. Net
interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $3,088,000 an
increase of $55,000 over the same period in 1997. This represents an increase of
1.8%. The primary factors contributing to the net interest income increase are
growth in the Corporation's earning assets through increases in federal funds
sold and loans held for sale and a reduction of interest expense due to lower
rates paid on savings, interest bearing DDA, and other time deposits. Also
indicated in Table 2, for the three months ended March 31, 1997 net interest
income was $3,033,000. This is an increase of $155,000 or 5.4% over the same
period in 1996. The increase in 1997 is attributable to the increase in income
derived from increases within investment securities and loans.

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 March 31, 1998, the ALL was
$3,012,000, or 1.71% of total loans. This compares with $2,913,000, or 1.64%, at
March 31, 1997.

The provision for loan losses was $156,000 for the first three months of 1998
and $156,000 for the same period in 1997. The primary reason for a level
provision was only modest increases in loan outstandings including loans hold
for sale.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income was $960,000 for the first three months of 1998 and $806,000
in the same period of 1997. This figure represents an increase of 19.1% in 1998.
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 $415,000 in the first three months of 1998 and
$362,000 in the same period of 1997. This represents an increase of 14.6% Growth
in deposit totals, the number of accounts and certain account activities account
for the increase.

Gains on the sale of mortgage loans originated by the bank and sold in the
secondary market were $74,000 in the first quarter of 1998 and $63,000 in the
same period in 1997. This 17.5% increase occurred because of increases in
residential mortgage refinance activity due to the impact of lower market rates.

Fiduciary income increased $36,000 in the first three months of 1998 compared to
the same time period in the prior year. This 34.3% increase in fees is
attributed to growth in the assets under management within the Corporation's
Investment Trust Department.

Other operating income, includes income from the sale of checks, safe deposit
box rent, merchant account income, ATM income, and other miscellaneous income
items. Other operating income at $236,000 for the first quarter of 1998
increased $59,000 or 33.3% compared to the same time period in 1997. This
increase occurred due to transaction fees associated with certain ATM activity.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $2,700,000 in the first three months of 1998
compared with $2,607,000 in the same period of 1997. This is an increase of
3.6%.

Salary and benefit costs, Fentura's largest non-interest expense category, were
$1,239,000 in the first quarter of 1998, compared with $1,288,000 for the first
quarter of 1997. 1998 salary costs represent a decrease of 3.8% comparing to
1997. Reduced costs are primarily a result of several vacant positions and the
reduction of salary and benefits expense accordingly.

During the first three months of 1998 equipment expenses were $316,000 compared
to $339,000 for the same period in 1997. The reduction of expense in 1998 is
attributable to equipment depreciation. Depreciation expense decreased because
several substantial assets reached full depreciation in the last quarter of
1997.

During the first quarter of 1998 office supplies expenses were $88,000 compared
to $63,000 for the same period of 1997, an increase of 39.7%. This increase is
attributable to cost and volume increases of regular office supplies and
preprinted forms.

Loan and collection expenses were $111,000 in the first quarter of 1998 compared
to $102,000 for the same period in 1997, an increase of 8.8%. The increase is
primarily attributable to an increase in indirect consumer loan volume and
accordingly, an increase in dealer reserve expense and an increase in home
equity loan fees waived to the customer and paid by the bank.

Other operating expenses were $681,000 in the first three months of 1998
compared to $532,000 in the first three months of 1997. This 28.0% increase in
expense is attributable to a loss in January 1998 of $75,000 on an improperly
endorsed check and increases in legal and consulting expense associated with
efforts to improve employee benefits and enhance compensation and leveling
systems.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Non-performing assets include loans on which interest accruals have ceased,
loans which have been renegotiated, and real estate acquired through
foreclosure. Past due loans are loans which were delinquent 90 days or more, but
have not been placed on non-accrual status. Table 6 represents the levels of
these assets at March 31, 1998 and 1997.

The increase in non-performing loans is primarily due to several delinquent
single-family mortgage loans which have sufficient equity and no expected loss.
Additionally, the increase in non-accrual loans is due to two large commercial
loan facilities wherein agreements have been executed that require specific
action plans, collateral pledges, and related performance expectations. The
loans will be closely monitored. While the non-performing loan increase is of
concern, overall asset quality remains satisfactory.

The ratio trends listed below support the above mentioned loan facilities that
are included in the non-performing category.

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 three
months of 1998 and 1997.

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 March 31, 1998 federal funds sold represented
3.6% of total assets, compared to 2.1% at March 31, 1997. 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.

As indicated in the statement of cash flows, cash flows from financing
activities have decreased in 1998 due to a less aggressive approach to
negotiating the interest rate of large time deposits and accordingly a decline
in overall all deposit totals. Comparatively, in the first three months of 1997,
cash flows from financing activities decreased because of a decline in checking
and saving deposits. Cash flows from investing activities were $8,552,000 during
the first three months of 1998 and ($4,602,000) in the same period of 1997. The
primary reason for the decline in investing activities at the end of the first
quarter of 1998 was an decrease in deposits creating funding for investing
activity and an increase in federal funds sold.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Total shareholders' equity rose 12.3% to $27,552,000 at March 31, 1998 compared
with $24,535,000 at March 31, 1997. The Company's equity to asset ratio was
10.5% at March 31, 1998 and 9.7% at March 31, 1997. The increase in the amount
of capital was obtained through retained earnings and the proceeds from the
issuance of new shares. In the first three months of 1998, the Corporation
increased its cash dividends by 10.1% to $.20 per share compared with $.19 in
the first three months of 1997.

As indicated on the balance sheet on page 4, at March 31, 1998 the Company had
an unrealized gain on securities available for sale (AFS) of $115,000 compared
to an unrealized loss at March 31, 1997 of $344,000. This decrease in unrealized
loss to a gain position is attributable to market interest rates and the
interest rate structures on those securities held in the Company's AFS
portfolio.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries are required by banking
industry regulators to meet certain levels of capital adequacy. These are
expressed in the form of certain ratios. Capital is separated into two levels,
Tier I capital (essentially total common stockholders' equity less goodwill) and
Tier II capital (essentially the reserve for loan losses limited to 1.25% of
gross risk-weighted assets). These ratios are based on the degree of credit risk
in the Corporation's assets. All assets and off-balance sheet items such as
outstanding loan commitments are assigned risk factors to create an overall risk
weighted asset total. Capital levels are then measured as a percentage of total
risk weighted assets. The regulatory minimum for Tier I capital to risk weighted
assets is 4% and the minimum for Total capital (Tier I plus Tier II) to risk
weighted assets is 8%. The Tier I leverage ratio measures Tier I capital to
average assets and must be a minimum of 4%.

The FDIC has adopted a risk-based insurance premium system based in part on a
corporation's capital adequacy. Under this system a depository institution is
classified as well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized
according to its regulatory capital levels. Subsequently, a financial
institution's premium levels are based on these classifications and its
regulatory supervisory rating (the higher the classification the lower the
premium). It is the Corporation's goal to maintain capital levels sufficient to
receive a designation of "well capitalized".

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to maximize net interest income as a
result of changing interest rates, within prudent ranges of risk. The
Corporation attempts to accomplish this objective by structuring the balance
sheet so that re-pricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities in
roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time intervals. Imbalances
in these re-pricing opportunities at any point in time constitute a bank's
interest rate sensitivity. As a matter of practice, the Bank doesn't use
derivative transactions in managing interest rate risk.

<PAGE>   16
An indicator of the interest rate sensitivity structure of a financial
institution's balance sheet is the difference between its interest rate
sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities, and is referred to as
"GAP".

Table 8 sets forth the distribution of re-pricing of the Corporation's earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities as of December 31, 1997, the interest
rate sensitivity GAP, as defined above, the cumulative interest rate sensitivity
GAP, the interest rate sensitivity GAP ratio (i.e. interest rate sensitive
assets divided by interest rate sensitive liabilities) and the cumulative
sensitivity GAP ratio. The table also sets forth the time periods in which
earning assets and liabilities will mature or may re-price in accordance with
their contractual terms. However, the table does not necessarily indicate the
impact of general interest rate movements on the net interest margin since the
re-pricing of various categories of assets and liabilities is subject to the
Corporation's needs, competitive pressures, and the needs of the Corporation's
customers. In addition, various assets and liabilities indicated as re-pricing
within the same period may in fact re-price at different times within such
period and at different rates or indices.
