Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements(unaudited)

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.

1. In the opinion of management of the  Registrant,  the unaudited  consolidated
financial   statements  filed  with  this  Form  10-Q  contain  all  adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring  accruals)  necessary to present fairly the
consolidated  financial  position of the  Registrant  as of March 31, 1998,  and
consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997 and  consolidated  cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997.

2. The results of  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3. The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements in the 1997
Annual Report contained in the Registrant's report on Form 10-K filing.

4. The  provision  for  income  taxes  represents  Federal  income  tax  expense
calculated  using  annualized  rates on  taxable  income  generated  during  the
respective periods.

5.  Management's  assessment  of the  allowance  for loan  losses is based on an
evaluation  of the loan  portfolio,  recent loss  experience,  current  economic
conditions,  and other pertinent factors.  Loans on non-accrual status and those
past due more than 90 days amounted to $881,000 at March 31, 1998 and $1,058,000
at December 31, 1997.  (See  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of financial
condition and results of operations).

FNBH Bancorp, Inc. (the Company), a Michigan business corporation, is a one bank
holding  company,  which  owns  all of the  outstanding  capital  stock of First
National Bank in Howell (the Bank) and all of the outstanding stock of HB Realty
Co., a subsidiary  which owns real estate.  The following is a discussion of the
Company's  results of  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997,  and  also  provides  information  relating  to  the  Company's  financial

</TABLE>
Net income of $947,000 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998  increased 5%
from the amount reported for the same period of the prior year.  Contributing to
the  improvement  in earnings was an increase of $357,000  (14%) in net interest
income.  This increase is the result of the Bank's growth in commercial loans as
well  as  an  increase  in  the  Bank's  interest  margin  of 12  basis  points.
Additionally,  non-interest income increased  approximately $20,000 in the first
quarter of 1998  compared to the same period last year.  The  increase in income
would have been  greater if  non-interest  expense  had not  increased  $270,000
(17%).

    (1)   Average   yields  in  the  above   table  have  been   adjusted  to  a
          tax-equivalent  basis  using a 34% tax rate and  exclude the effect of
          any market value  adjustments  recorded  under  Statement of Financial
          Standards No. 115.
    (2)   For  purposes  of the  computation  above,  non-accrual  loans are not
          included in the average daily loan balances.
    (3)   Interest  on loans includes origination fees totaling $153,000 in 1998
          and $75,000 in 1997.

Interest Earning Assets/Interest Income
On a tax equivalent basis, interest income increased  approximately  $637,000 in
the first quarter of 1998 compared to that of 1997.  Income from the sale of Fed
Funds  increased  nearly  $14,000 both because  average  balances  were $839,000
higher than the prior year and because yields increased 22 basis points.
<PAGE>
In the first  quarter,  income on  taxable  securities  decreased  approximately
$98,000  because the average  balance  decreased  $6,400,000  although  the rate
earned  increased 9 basis points.  Income from tax-exempt  securities  increased
$20,000 even though the yield fell 27 basis points  because the average  balance
increased approximately $1,600,000.

For the first quarter of this year,  tax  equivalent  loan interest was $701,000
higher than the same  period in 1997 due to an  increase in average  balances of
nearly  $26,000,000 and an increase in rates of 20 basis points. The increase in
rates was primarily due to the $78,000  increase in loan  origination  fees. The
growth in loans  was  primarily  in  commercial  loans  where  average  balances
increased  approximately  $22,000,000  (24%).  Average  consumer loans increased
nearly  $3,000,000  (13%).  A strong local economy and marketing  efforts by the
Bank have  contributed to loan growth in the  commercial  and consumer  markets.
Average real estate mortgage loans increased $849,000 (4%). This moderate growth
is due to the Bank's policy of selling  fixed rate  mortgage  loans with fifteen
year and longer maturities. The Bank sold more than $3,000,000 in mortgage loans
during the first quarter of 1998.

Interest Bearing Liabilities/Interest Expense
In the first quarter of 1998, interest expense increased  approximately $277,000
due to an  increase  in average  balances of  approximately  $15,500,000  and an
increase in rates of 21 basis points. Savings and NOW interest expense increased
$82,000 because  average  balances  increased  $4,200,000 and rates increased 25
basis  points.  Interest on time  deposits  increased  $194,000 in 1998 over the
prior year.  Balances  increased  $11,000,000 and the rate paid on time deposits
increased  20 basis points in the first  quarter of 1998 from that of 1997.  The
deposit growth was  principally  the result of the Bank's  marketing  efforts to
increase its share of Livingston County deposits.


Liquidity
Liquidity is monitored by the Bank's Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO)
which  meets  at least  monthly.  ALCO  developed,  and the  Board of  Directors
approved,  a liquidity  policy which requires a minimum 15% liquidity ratio. The
Bank's  average  liquidity  ratio was 22.3% in 1997 and  averaged  19.4% for the
first three months of 1998.

Deposits are the  principal  source of funds for the Bank.  Management  monitors
rates at other  financial  institutions  in the area to ascertain that its rates
are competitive in the market.  Management also attempts to offer a wide variety
of  products  to meet the  needs  of its  customers.  The Bank  does not deal in
brokered funds, and the makeup of its over $100,000 certificates, which amounted
to  approximately  $16,000,000  at March 31,  1998  compared to  $15,000,000  at
December 31, 1997, consists of local depositors known to the Bank.

It is the  intention of the Bank's  management  to handle  unexpected  liquidity
needs  through its Federal Funds  position.  The goal is to maintain a daily Fed
Funds balance  sufficient to cover  required cash draws.  During the first three
months  of  the  year,  the  Fed  Funds  Sold  balances  averaged  approximately
$5,000,000  and the Fed Funds  Purchased  balance  average  $45,000.  The Bank's
policy  requires all purchases of Fed Funds to be approved by senior  management
so that liquidity needs are known. The Bank has recently  purchased stock in the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis  where it has a line of credit  available
which offers  increased  liquidity to the Bank. The line available  currently is
$13,000,000  and the Bank has  pledged  certain  mortgage  loans and  investment
securities as collateral for this borrowing. In addition, management may look to
"available for sale"  securities in the investment  portfolio to meet additional
liquidity needs.
<PAGE>
In addition to liquidity issues, ALCO discusses the current economic outlook and
its impact on the Bank and current  interest rate forecasts.  Actual results are
compared to budget in terms of growth and income.  A yield and cost  analysis is
done to monitor interest margin.  Various ratios are discussed including capital
ratios and liquidity.  The quality of the loan portfolio is reviewed in light of
the current  allowance.  The rate sensitivity  report is analyzed and strategies
are  created to attempt to produce  the desired  results.  The rate  sensitivity
report  describes  the  repricing  schedule  for  various  asset  and  liability
categories.

</TABLE>
Given the asset  sensitive  position of the Bank at March 31, 1998,  if interest
rates  decrease 200 basis  points and  management  did not  respond,  management
estimates  that  annualized  net interest  income would  decrease  approximately
$300,000,  while a similar  increase in rates would cause net interest income to
increase by a like amount.  As noted above,  the entire balance of savings,  NOW
and MMDAs is not  categorized  as 0-3 months,  although  they are variable  rate
products. Some of these balances are core deposits which are not considered rate
sensitive based on the Bank's historical experience and industry practice.

The  provision  for loan losses  increased  $38,000 in the first quarter of 1998
compared to the prior year.  In March of 1998,  the allowance for loan loss as a
percent  of loans  was  2.13%,  down  from  2.39% a year  earlier,  and 2.15% at
December 31, 1997.  For the first three months of 1998,  the Bank had net charge
offs of $2,000, compared with net charge offs of $60,000 last year. Non-accrual,
past due 90 days,  and  renegotiated  loans  were .53% and 1.05% of total  loans
outstanding at March 31, 1998 and 1997  respectively  and .67% of total loans at
December 31, 1997.

114,  Accounting by Creditors for  Impairment of a Loan,  totaled  approximately
$3,400,000 at March 31, 1998,  compared to $3,100,000 at December 31, 1997,  and
included non-accrual, and past due 90 days other than homogenous residential and
consumer  loans,  and an additional  $2,800,000 of commercial  loans  separately
identified as impaired.  A loan is considered  impaired when it is probable that
all or part of  amounts  due  according  to the  contractual  terms  of the loan
agreement  will  not be  collectable  on a timely  basis.  The  majority  of the
impaired balance relates to one borrower whose loan is well collateralized.  Any
loss that might occur from it is not  expected to have a material  impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operation.

Management  assessment  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  based  on the
composition of the loan portfolio, an evaluation of specific credits, historical
loss  experience,  the level of  nonperforming  loans  and loans  that have been
identified as impaired. Externally, the local economy and events or trends which
might negatively impact the loan portfolio are also considered. Certain impaired
loans  with  a  balance  of  $3,300,000  had  specific  reserves  calculated  in
accordance with SFAS No. 114 of $400,000 at March 31, 1998.

Nonperforming  assets  are  loans for which the  accrual  of  interest  has been
discontinued,  accruing  loans 90 days or more past due in  payments,  and other
real estate which has been acquired primarily through foreclosure and is waiting
disposition.  The following  table describes  nonperforming  assets at March 31,
1998 compared to December 31, 1997.  Loans  categorized  as ninety days past due
and still accruing are well secured and in the process of collection.

Nonperforming  loans have decreased in 1998 compared to the prior year, although
non-performing  assets  have  increased  due to the  foreclosure  of a piece  of
commercial real estate.  Management is pursuing sale of this property. Loans are
generally placed on a nonaccrual basis when principal or interest is past due 90
days or more  and  when,  in the  opinion  of  management,  full  collection  of
principal and interest is unlikely.

Non-interest  income,  which includes service charges on deposit accounts,  loan
fees,  other operating  income,  and gain(loss) on sale of assets,  increased by
nearly  $20,000 (5%) in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in
the previous year.  Service  charge income  declined  slightly.  Gains from loan
sales  increased  more than $20,000  (57%).  The volume of loans sold was nearly
identical but the rate of return was better in the low interest rate environment
of this year.

</TABLE>

Non-interest  expense  increased  $270,000  (17%) in the first  quarter  of 1998
compared  to the same  period  last year.  Contributing  to this  increase  were
increases  of $125,000  (14%) in salaries  and  benefits,  and an  approximately
$142,000  increase in other  expense.  There was a slight  decrease in occupancy
expense and a slight increase in equipment expense which offset each other. Both
building and equipment expenses are expected to increase as the year progresses.
Building  cost  will  increase  as a new  branch  is  constructed  in  Brighton.
Equipment  cost will escalate as the Bank's core computer  system is changed and
an extensive local and wide area network is engineered.  Salaries  increased due
to normal  salary  increases and because the Bank added a Trust  Department.  In
other expense, advertising expense is $35,000 higher than last year due to costs
related to producing  television ads.  Computer  service fees increased  $30,000
over last year due to costs related to implementing a new computer system.

*Amounts exclude securities  valuation  adjustments  recorded under Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 115 amounting to $12,000 at March 31, 1998
and $15,000 at December 31, 1997.
<PAGE>
A financial institution's capital ratio is looked upon by the regulators and the
public as an indication of its soundness.  Shareholders'  equity,  excluding the
securities valuation adjustment,  increased $663,000 (3%) during the first three
months of the year.  This  increase  was the result of net income  earned by the
company reduced by dividends paid of $283,500.

The Federal  Reserve Board provides  guidelines  for the  measurement of capital
adequacy. The Bank's capital, as adjusted under these guidelines, is referred to
as risk-based  capital.  The Bank's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at March 31,
1998 was 12.73%,  and total  risk-based  capital  was 13.98%.  At March 31, 1997
these  ratios were 14.95% and 16.20%  respectively.  Minimum  regulatory  Tier 1
risk-based and total  risk-based  capital ratios under the Federal Reserve Board
guidelines are 4% and 8% respectively.

The capital guidelines also provide for a standard to measure risk-based capital
to total assets which is called the leverage  ratio.  The Bank's  leverage ratio
was 9.18% at March 31, 1998 and 10.01% in 1997.  The minimum  standard  leverage
ratio is 3% but financial institutions are expected to maintain a leverage ratio
1 to 2 percentage points above the 3% minimum.

In the first quarter,  the Company has spent approximately  $800,000 on hardware
and software and will likely spend an additional  $500,000 on various technology
needs as the year  progresses.  In addition,  the Bank is requesting  regulatory
approval to establish a new branch in the northwest  part of Brighton.  Included
in other  assets is  approximately  $1,000,000  paid for an option to purchase a
tract of land in northwest Brighton. In June the Company is expected to exercise
the option to  purchase  18 acres of land on which the  facility  will be built.
Exercise of the option will cost the Company  $3,000,000.  The Company currently
has listed for sale a substantial portion of the acreage. These projects will be
financed from internally generated funds.


Year 2000 issues are an important focus of management's  attention.  The Bank is
highly  dependent on technology  and several  applications  are dependent on the
software's ability to make the transition to the Year 2000. The Bank has hired a
consultant  who has  recommended  actions  related  to Year 2000  compliance.  A
committee is in the process of implementing  these steps at this time.  Software
that is Year 2000  sensitive  has been  identified.  Testing is ongoing and will
continue  into the  second  and  third  quarter  of this  year.  Other  than the
technology  investments  mentioned  above,  management  does  not  believe  that
compliance with Year 2000 will have a material effect on the Company's financial
condition.  The Bank has analyzed  significant  vendors and customers  Year 2000
readiness  and has  determined  that any failures  they may have will not have a
material effect on the Company.

Accounting Standards
In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting  Standards No. 130 Reporting  Comprehensive Income (SFAS
130). SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying  comprehensive
income and its  components,  including  but not limited to  unrealized  gains or
losses on  securities  available for sale,  in the  financial  statements.  This
statement  was  effective for both interim and annual  periods  beginning  after
December  15,  1997  with  earlier  application  permitted.  SFAS  130  requires
reclassification of all prior period amounts.
<PAGE>
In June 1997, the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
131,  Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related  Information (SFAS
131).  SFAS 131  establishes  standards for the way that public  entities report
information about operating segments in financial statements.  This statement is
effective for annual  reporting for 1998 calendar year  entities.  Although this
statement  applies to interim  financial  statements,  interim  reporting is not
required in the initial year of application.

In February 1998, the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits
(SFAS 132).  SFAS 132 revises  employers'  disclosures  about  pension and other
postretirement benefit plans. SFAS 132 standardizes the disclosure  requirements
for pensions and other postretirement benefits,  requires additional information
on  changes in the  benefit  obligations  and fair  values of plan  assets,  and
eliminates  certain  disclosures.  This  Statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier adoption encouraged. Restatement
of  disclosures  for  earlier  periods  provided  for  comparative  purposes  is
required.
