NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    Basis of Presentation
 
    The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Mackinac Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and 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. 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 six month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
    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 revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    In order to properly reflect some categories of other income and other expenses, reclassifications of expense and income items have been made to prior period numbers. The “net” other income and other expenses were not changed due to these classifications.
 
    Allowance for Loan Losses
 
    The allowance for loan losses includes specific allowances related to commercial loans, which have been judged to be impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Corporation will not collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These specific allowances are based on discounted cash flows of expected future payments using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
 
    The Corporation continues to maintain a general allowance for loan losses for loans not considered impaired. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which management believes is adequate to provide for possible loan losses. Management periodically evaluates the adequacy of the allowance using the Corporation’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, composition of the portfolio, current economic conditions, and other factors. The allowance does not include the effects of expected losses related to future events or future changes in economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective since it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of collectibility.
 
    In management’s opinion, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date.
 
    Stock Option Plans
 
    The Corporation sponsors three stock option plans. One plan was approved in 2000 and applies to officers, employees, and nonemployee directors. This plan was amended as a part of the December 2004 stock offering and recapitalization. The amendment, approved by shareholders, increased the shares available under this plan by 428,587 shares from the original 25,000 (adjusted for the 1:20 reverse stock split), to a total authorized share balance of 453,587. The other two plans, one for officers and employees and the other for nonemployee

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
    directors, were approved in 1997. A total of 30,000 shares (adjusted for the 1:20 reverse stock split), were made available for grant under these plans. Options under all of the plans are granted at the discretion of a committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors. Options to purchase shares of the Corporation’s stock are granted at a price equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant. The committee determines the vesting of the options when they are granted as established under the plan.
 
    The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised) “Share Based Payments” in the first quarter of 2006. This statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and its related implementation guidance. Under Opinion No. 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. This adoption resulted in the recognition of before tax compensation expense in the amount of $60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and $156,000 for the same period in 2006. The expense recorded recognizes the current period vesting of options outstanding. The per share impact of this accounting change was $.01 and $.05 in the first half of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
2.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 
    In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued this interpretation to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires, among other matters, that the Corporation recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on an audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 were effective as of the beginning of the Corporation’s 2007 fiscal year and required any cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle to be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Corporation did not record an adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of FIN 48. In future periods, The Corporation will, in accordance with FIN 48, evaluate its tax positions to determine whether or not an adjustment to deferred tax balances and related valuation accounts is warranted.
 
    SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159)
 
    SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The Statement’s objective is to improve financial reporting by allowing entities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by the measurement of related assets and liabilities using different attributes, without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Under SFAS No. 159, entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions, as long as it is applied to the instrument in its entirety. The fair value option election is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. The new Statement establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the entity’s election on its earnings but does not eliminate disclosure requirements of other accounting standards. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value must be displayed on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity (a) makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year, (2) has not yet issued financial statements, and (3) elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. The Corporation did not adopt SFAS No. 159 during this early adoption period, and has not determined the impact, if any; the implementation of SFAS No. 159 will have on the consolidated financial statements.

    In the first half of 2007, net charge off activity was minimal at $86,000, or .03% of average loans outstanding compared to net charge-offs of $93,000, or .04% of average loans, in the first half of 2006. In the first half of 2006, the Corporation reduced the allowance for loan losses by recording a negative provision amounting to $600,000. This reduction in the reserve was made in recognition of the improved credit quality existent in the loan portfolio and is discussed in more detail under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”
 
    LOANS – Impaired loans
 
    Nonperforming loans are those which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments, on nonaccrual status, or loans, the terms of which have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral on interest or principal. The interest income recorded and that which would have been recorded had nonaccrual and renegotiated loans been current or not troubled was not material to the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

8.   INCOME TAXES
 
    A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of June 30, the Corporation had a net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $36.9 million, and $2.1 million, respectively. The deferred tax benefits related to the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards will, at a minimum, be utilized to offset future taxable expense. In the first half of 2007 and 2006, the Corporation reversed a portion of the valuation allowance pertaining to the NOL carryforward to offset current federal tax, $.450 million and $.075 million, respectively. The Corporation will record future benefits from these carryforwards at such time as it becomes “more likely than not” that they will be utilized prior to expiration. Please refer to further discussion on income taxes contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis.” This net operating loss carryforward expires twenty years from the date that it originated. A portion of the NOL, approximately $22 million, and all of the credit carryforwards are subject to the limitations for utilization as set forth in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation is $1.4 million for the NOL and the equivalent value of tax credits, which is approximately $.477 million. These limitations for use were established in conjunction with the recapitalization of the Corporation in December, 2004.
 
9.   COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CREDIT RISK
 
    Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
 
    The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

9.   COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CREDIT RISK (Continued)
 
    The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. These commitments are as follows (dollars in thousands):
                         
    June 30,     December 31,     June 30,  
    2007     2006     2006  
Commitments to extend credit:
                       
Variable rate
  $ 51,214     $ 44,141     $ 42,787  
Fixed rate
    8,881       9,288       3,345  
Standby letters of credit — Variable rate
    5,914       6,233       8,939  
Credit card commitments — Fixed rate
    2,432       2,391       2,981  
 
                 
 
                       
 
  $ 68,441     $ 62,053     $ 58,052  
 
                 
    Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and equipment; and income-producing commercial properties.
 
    Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The commitments are structured to allow for 100% collateralization on all standby letters of credit.
 
    Credit card commitments are commitments on credit cards issued by the Corporation’s subsidiary and serviced by other companies. These commitments are unsecured.
 
    Contingencies
 
    In the normal course of business, the Corporation is involved in various legal proceedings. For expanded discussion on the Corporation’s legal proceedings, see Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” in this report.
 
    Concentration of Credit Risk
 
    The Bank grants commercial, residential, agricultural, and consumer loans throughout Michigan. The Bank’s most prominent concentration in the loan portfolio relates to commercial real estate loans. This concentration at June 30, 2007 represents $41.7 million, or 17.5%, compared to $35.5 million, or 17.7%, of the commercial loan portfolio on June 30, 2006. The remainder of the commercial loan portfolio is diversified in such categories as hospitality and tourism, real estate agents and managers, new car dealers, gaming, petroleum, forestry, agriculture and construction. Due to the diversity of the Bank’s locations, the ability of debtors of residential and consumer loans to honor their obligations is not tied to any particular economic sector.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The following discussion will cover results of operations, asset quality, financial position, liquidity, interest rate sensitivity, and capital resources for the periods indicated. The information included in this discussion is intended to assist readers in their analysis of, and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and related notes and other supplemental information presented elsewhere in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2006. Throughout this discussion, the term “Bank” refers to mBank, formerly known as North Country Bank and Trust, the principal banking subsidiary of the Corporation.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Year-to-date consolidated net income was $1.581 million through June 30, 2007, compared to a net income of $.688 million for the same period in 2006. Basic income per share was $.46 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to an income per share of $.20 for the same period in 2006. The income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 amounted to $.546 million, or $.16 per share, compared to an income of $.190 million, or $.05 per share for the same period in 2006. The results of operations for the first six months of 2007 include $470,000, of proceeds from the settlement of a lawsuit against the Corporation’s former accountants. During the comparable six month period in 2006, the Bank recorded a $600,000 negative provision in recognition of improved credit quality. Excluding both items provides a more revealing picture of operating results. The adjusted figures show net income in the first half of 2007 of $1.111 million, compared to an adjusted net income of $.088 million for the same period in 2006.
Total assets increased $10.528 million from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. The loan portfolio increased $16.315 million in the first six months of 2007, from December 31, 2006 balances of $322.581 million. Deposits totaled $321.246 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $8.825 million from the $312.421 million at December 31, 2006.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents increased $.301 million in 2007. See further discussion of the change in cash and cash equivalents in the Liquidity section.
Investment Securities
Available-for-sale securities decreased $8.683 million, or 26.5%, from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007, with the balance on June 30, 2007, totaling $24.086 million. The decrease during the first six months of 2007 was due to a combination of maturities, calls, and paydowns of securities. Investment securities are utilized in an effort to manage interest rate risk and liquidity. As of June 30, 2007, investment securities with an estimated fair value of $23.574 million were pledged. During the first half of 2007, the Corporation utilized a higher proportion of federal funds to maintain liquidity since yields were comparable to those offered on short-term investment securities.
Loans
Through the first half of 2007, loan balances increased by $16.315, or 5.1%, from December 31, 2006 balances of $322.581 million. During the first six months of 2007, the Bank had total loan production of $64.511 million. This loan production, some of which has not yet funded, was significantly offset by normal principal runoff and amortization, $17.3 million, and large paydowns and refinancing, which totaled $23.9 million. Enhancements to the loan approval process and exception reporting further provide for a more effective management of risk in the loan portfolio. Management continues to actively manage the loan portfolio, seeking to identify and resolve problem assets at an early stage. Management believes a properly positioned loan portfolio provides the most attractive earning asset yield available to the Corporation and, with changes to the loan approval process and exception reporting, management can effectively manage the risk in the loan portfolio. Management intends to continue loan growth within its markets for mortgage, consumer, and commercial loan products while concentrating on loan quality, industry concentration issues, and competitive pricing.

Management recognizes the additional risk presented by the concentration in certain segments of the portfolio. On a historical basis, the Corporation’s highest concentration of credit risk was the hospitality and tourism industry. Management does not consider the current loan concentrations in hospitality and gaming to be problematic, and has no intention of further reducing loans to this industry segment. Management does not believe that its current portfolio composition has increased exposure related to any specific industry concentration as of June 30, 2007. The current concentration of real estate related loans represents a broad customer base composed of a high percentage of owner occupied developments.
Credit Quality
Management analyzes the allowance for loan losses in detail on a monthly basis to determine whether the losses inherent in the portfolio are properly reserved for. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 amounted to $.086 million, or 0.03% of average loans outstanding, compared to $.093 million, .04% of average loans outstanding, for the same period in 2006. The Corporation, in recognition of the continued improvement in credit quality which has occurred since 2004, reduced the reserve for loan loss by $600,000 in the first quarter of 2006. The reduction of the reserve results in a current reserve balance that is more representative of the relevant risk inherent within the Corporation’s loan portfolio. The current level of charge-offs is below historical levels and projected charge-off activity, based upon current levels of nonperforming loans, is not expected to attain historical levels. Additions or reductions to the reserve in future periods will be dependent upon a combination of future loan growth, nonperforming loan balances and charge-off activity. The increase in nonperforming loans in the first half of 2007 is not indicative of an overall deterioration of portfolio credit quality. Management believes these additions to problem loans are somewhat isolated and are due mainly to these individual credit situations and not to an industry, geographic, or economic decline.

The Corporation has experienced a significant decline in historical loan charge-offs in the past several years. During this same period, the commercial loan portfolio has grown by $99.125 million from 2005 year end to June 30, 2007. The increased allocation of the reserve from unallocated and general reserves to commercial, financial and agricultural is in recognition of this growth. The increase in nonperforming loans has also resulted in increases for specific reserve allocations. Specific reserve allocations on nonperforming loans totaled $.968 million as of June 30, 2007. The decline of charge-offs in recent years has helped mitigate the need for loan loss provisions, despite increased balances of impaired loans, since the requirement for general reserves has significantly decreased.

Total nonperforming loans increased $2.110 million since December 31, 2006. The increase was due to several commercial credits that were added in the first half of 2007. Management believes that these loans are well secured and does not expect any material loss on these loans.
Management continues to address market issues impacting its loan customer base. In conjunction with the Corporation’s senior lending staff and the bank regulatory examinations, management reviews the Corporation’s loans, related collateral evaluations, and the overall lending process. The Corporation also utilizes a loan review consultant to perform a review of the loan portfolio. The opinion of this consultant upon completion of the independent review provided findings similar to management on the overall adequacy of the reserve. The Corporation has engaged this same consultant for loan review during 2007.
As part of the process of resolving problem credits, the Corporation may acquire ownership of collateral which secured such credits. The Corporation carries this collateral in other real estate which is grouped with other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The following table represents the activity in other real estate for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):
                         
    Three Months Ended     Year Ended     Three Months Ended

  $ 77     $ 26     $ 52  
 
                 
During the first six months of 2007, the Corporation received real estate in lieu of loan payments of $69,000. Other real estate is initially valued at the lower of cost or the fair value less selling costs. After the initial receipt, management periodically re-evaluates the recorded balance. Any additional reduction in the fair value results in a write-down of other real estate. Write-downs on other real estate may be recorded based on subsequent evaluations of current realizable fair values.

Deposits
The Corporation had an increase in deposits in the first six months of 2007. Total deposits increased by $8.825 million, or 2.8%, in the first six months of 2007. Core deposits increased from $199.609 million at 2006 year end to $211.773 million, an increase of $12.164 million. During the first six months of 2007, the Corporation reduced its wholesale funding, brokered deposits, by $4.567 million. The Corporation utilizes brokered deposits to fulfill the shortfall between increases in bank deposits compared to loan funding needs. During the first half of 2007, the Corporation was able to reduce its reliance on brokered deposits.
The following table represents detail of deposits at the end of the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Borrowings
The Corporation historically used alternative funding sources to provide long-term, stable sources of funds. These borrowings were initially carried with fixed interest rates and stated maturities through 2011. The advances gave the FHLB the option to convert the above listed convertible-fixed-rate advances to adjustable rate advances, repricing quarterly at three month LIBOR Flat, on the original call date and quarterly thereafter. During 2006, $20.0 million of the advances were converted from fixed to adjustable rate by the FHLB. This shift from fixed to variable rate did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s net interest margin.
Shareholders’ Equity
Total shareholders’ equity increased $1.695 million from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. The increase is comprised of net income, contributed capital of $60,000 in recognition of stock option expense and an increase in the market value of securities of $54,000. The Board of Directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the near future. The declaration of dividends is contingent on a variety of factors including regulatory and state statutes, and the Corporation’s return to profitability.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, increased by $.833 million, or 14.8%, compared to the same period one year ago. This increase in net interest income was a result of the combination of increased average balances and increased rates. The Corporation, through the first six months of 2006, benefited from prime rate increases as more assets were repricing upwards than liabilities. This asset sensitive position has been declining in recent periods as the Corporation initiated steps as a part of its ALCO Committee to reduce interest rate risk. More discussion is included relative to repricing and asset sensitivity under the caption “Interest Rate Risk” elsewhere in this report.

In the second quarter of 2007, net interest income totaled $3.269 million compared to $2.935 million for the same three month period in 2006. The increase of $.334 million is attributed largely to increased loan balances of $51.035 million between periods. The overall yield on earning assets increased from 7.15% in the second quarter of 2006 to 7.76% in 2007. The increase in yields was due primarily to repricing of loans and investments commensurate with increases in the prime rate during the first six months of 2006 from 7.25% to 8.25%. This increased yield on earning assets was largely offset by similar increases in the cost of interest bearing liabilities, which increased from 3.91% in the second quarter of 2006 to 4.66% in 2007.
The following tables present the amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the yields earned on those assets, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing obligations and the rates paid on those obligations.

Provision for Loan Losses
The Corporation records a provision for loan losses at a level it believes is necessary to maintain the allowance at an adequate level after considering factors such as loan charge-offs and recoveries, changes in the mix of loans in the portfolio, loan growth, and other economic factors. There was no provision for loan losses in the first half of 2007. In recognition of the improved credit quality, the Corporation reduced its loan loss reserve by $600,000 in the first half of 2006. Management, on a quarterly basis, recalculates the required loan loss reserve based upon consistently applied criteria which includes, among other factors, loan type, historical charge-off information by loan type, and a loan grading system applied for evaluating credit risk. Management continues to monitor the loan portfolio for changes which may impact the required allowance for loan losses. A provision for loan losses may be required for future periods if credit quality should deteriorate or loan growth is such that the general reserve is no longer deemed adequate. Management expects, based upon current projected loan growth, that a provision for loan loss will be required later in 2007 in order to maintain required reserve levels.
Other Income
Other income increased by $.788 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Corporation recognized a benefit from the settlement of a lawsuit against its former accountants in the first half of 2007, which amounted to $.470 million. Service fees increased $.114 million in the first six months of 2007, while other noninterest income increased $.558 million. Revenue due to loans produced and sold in the secondary market amounted to $.199 million compared to $.083 million a year ago. We expect to continue to benefit from secondary market activity in future periods. The Corporation is also expecting to increase other income from sources such as fees from the sale of SBA guaranteed loans.
During the second quarter of 2007, the Corporation recognized $.342 million in other income, compared to $.251 million for the second quarter of 2006. Service fees increased for the second quarter of 2007 by $.063 million to $.185 million when compared to $.122 million in the second quarter of 2006. Also contributing to the increase in total other income was revenue from the sale of loans sold on the secondary market, which increased by $.049 million from $.042 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $.091 million for the same period in 2007.
The following table details noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in thousands):

Other Expenses
Other expenses increased $.128 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Salaries, commissions, and related benefits increased $.320 million, during the first six months of 2007, compared to the first six months of 2006. This increase reflects the annual salary increases and staffing additions. The Corporation, in an attempt to increase core deposit balances, added three Treasury Management Specialists to focus on generating business related transactional deposit balances. The most significant decrease in 2007 expenses was in professional services, due primarily from reduced legal costs. In 2006, significant legal costs were incurred

in pursuit of legal action against the Corporation’s former accountants. The $.045 million increase in data processing costs is the result of increased deposit balances and activity, along with added data processing services. The $.077 million decrease in loan and deposit expense is due in large part to the reduction in FDIC insurance premiums, which amounted to $.047 million in the first six months of 2006, compared to $.018 million in 2007, a reduction of $.029 million. This reduction in premium was due to lower premium assessments and is expected to continue for the near term. Management continually reviews all areas of noninterest expense for cost reduction opportunities that will not negatively impact service quality and employee morale.
The Corporation recognized other expense in the second quarter of 2007 totaling $3.065 million, compared to $2.996 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in noninterest expense between periods was composed of increases in salary and employee benefits, due primarily to staffing increases; occupancy, due to a branch office relocation; and data processing, due to increased services and volume. These increased expenses were partially offset by reductions in professional service fees. In the second quarter of 2006, the Corporation incurred $240,000 in legal fees to pursue legal action against the Corporation’s former accountants. This lawsuit was settled early in 2007.
The following table details noninterest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

Federal Income Taxes
There was no tax provision for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006. The Corporation’s results of operations for 2007 and 2006 do not reflect the impact of federal income taxes due to large NOL carryforwards, a portion of which was utilized in each period to offset current federal taxes. The differences in each year between the tax provision or benefit and the federal corporate income tax rate of 34% are primarily due to permanent and temporary differences between book and taxable income. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2007, the Corporation had an NOL carryforward of approximately $36.9 million along with various credit carryforwards of $2.1 million. This NOL and credit carryforward benefit is dependent upon the future profitability of the Corporation. A portion of the NOL, approximately $22 million, and all of the tax credit carryforwards are also subject to the use limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code since they originated prior to the December 2004 recapitalization of the Corporation. In 2006, a $500,000 benefit was recognized and a portion of the NOL carryforward was utilized to offset current year tax expense. The deferred tax benefit was recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which allow for recognition when it is “more likely than not” that such benefit will in fact be realized in future periods. The Corporation intends to further evaluate the utilization of the NOL and credit carryforwards in subsequent periods and recognize the related tax benefits when appropriate. The determination criteria for recognition of deferred tax benefits will include the assumption of future period taxable income based upon the projected profitability of the Corporation. The utilization of the NOL and tax credit carryforwards will be evaluated based upon management’s determination of the probable outcome of attaining the projected profit levels

during the remaining utilization period. Based upon the Corporation’s most recent results of operations and current projections, it is anticipated that the Corporation will recognize a portion of the deferred tax benefit later in 2007.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate cash at a reasonable cost to fulfill lending commitments and support asset growth, while satisfying the withdrawal demands of customers and make payments on existing borrowing commitments. The Bank’s principal sources of liquidity are core deposits and loan and investment payments and prepayments. Providing a secondary source of liquidity is the available for sale investment portfolio. As a final source of liquidity, the Bank can exercise existing credit arrangements.
During the first half of 2007, the Corporation increased cash and cash equivalents by $.301 million. As shown on the Corporation’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, liquidity was primarily impacted by cash provided by investing activities, a net increase in loans of $16.440 million and a “net” reduction in securities available for sale of $8.876 million. The net increases in assets were offset by a similar increase in deposit liabilities of $8.825 million. This increase in deposits was composed of a decrease in brokered deposits of $4.573 million combined with an increase in bank deposits of $13.398 million. The management of bank liquidity for funding of loans and deposit maturities and withdrawals includes monitoring projected loan fundings and scheduled prepayments and deposit maturities within a 30 day period, a 30 to 90 day period and from 90 days until the end of the year. This funding forecast model is completed weekly.
It is anticipated that during the remainder of 2007, the Corporation will fund anticipated loan production with a combination of core deposit growth and noncore funding, primarily brokered CDs.
The Corporation’s primary source of liquidity on a stand-alone basis is dividends from the Bank. The Bank is currently prohibited from paying dividends because of a deficit in retained earnings. The Bank, in order to pay dividends in future periods, will need to restate its capital accounts, which requires the approval of the Office of Financial and Insurance Services of the State of Michigan. The Corporation has a $6 million correspondent bank line of credit available for short-term liquidity. This line of credit has an outstanding balance of $1.959 million as of June 30, 2007. The Corporation is currently exploring alternative opportunities for longer term sources of liquidity and permanent equity to support projected asset growth.
Liquidity is managed by the Corporation through its Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”). The ALCO Committee meets monthly to discuss asset and liability management in order to address liquidity and funding needs to provide a process to seek the best alternatives for investments of assets, funding costs, and risk management. The liquidity position of the Bank is managed daily, thus enabling the Bank to adapt its position according to market fluctuations. Core deposits are important in maintaining a strong liquidity position as they represent a stable and relatively low cost source of funds. The Bank’s liquidity is best illustrated by the mix in the Bank’s core and non-core funding dependence ratio, which explain the degree of reliance on non-core liabilities to fund long-term assets. Core deposits are herein defined as demand deposits, NOW (negotiable order withdrawals), money markets, savings and certificates of deposit under $100,000. Non-core funding consists of certificates of deposit greater than $100,000, brokered deposits, and FHLB and Farmers’ Home Administration borrowings. At June 30, 2007, the Bank’s core deposits in relation to total funding were 59.6% compared to 58.3% at June 30, 2006. These ratios indicated at June 30, 2007, that the Bank has decreased its reliance on non-core deposits and borrowings to fund the Bank’s long-term assets, namely loans and investments. The Bank believes that by maintaining adequate volumes of short-term investments and implementing competitive pricing strategies on deposits, it can ensure adequate liquidity to support future growth. The Bank also has correspondent lines of credit available to meet unanticipated short-term liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2007, the Bank had $14.875 million of unsecured lines available and another $8.125 million available if secured. The Bank believes that its liquidity position remains strong to meet both present and future financial obligations and commitments, events or uncertainties that have resulted or are reasonably likely to result in material changes with respect to the Bank’s liquidity.
From a long-term perspective, the Corporation’s liquidity plan for 2007 includes strategies to increase core deposits in the Corporation’s local markets. The new deposit products and strategic advertising is expected to aid in efforts of management in growing core deposits to reduce the dependency on non-core deposits, while also reducing interest costs. The Corporation’s liquidity plan for 2007 calls for augmenting local deposit growth efforts with wholesale CD funding, to the extent necessary.

CAPITAL AND REGULATORY
As a bank holding company, the Corporation is required to maintain certain levels of capital under government regulation. There are several measurements of regulatory capital and the Corporation is required to meet minimum requirements under each measurement. The federal banking regulators have also established capital classifications beyond the minimum requirements in order to risk-rate deposit insurance premiums and to provide trigger points for prompt corrective action in the event an institution becomes financially troubled. As of June 30, 2007, the Corporation and Bank were well capitalized. The Corporation is currently exploring its alternatives for the possible issuance of equity or debt in order to provide a broader base to support future asset growth. During the first half of 2007, total capitalization increased by $1.695 million.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK
In general, the Corporation attempts to manage interest rate risk by investing in a variety of assets which afford it an opportunity to reprice assets and increase interest income at a rate equal to or greater than the interest expense associated with repricing liabilities.
Interest rate risk is the exposure of the Corporation to adverse movements in interest rates. The Corporation derives its income primarily from the excess of interest collected on its interest-earning assets over the interest paid on its interest-bearing obligations. The rates of interest the Corporation earns on its assets and owes on its obligations generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, the Corporation is exposed to lower profitability if it cannot adapt to interest rate changes. Accepting interest rate risk can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value; however, excess levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat to the Corporation’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risk at prudent levels is essential to the Corporation’s safety and soundness.
Loans are the most significant earning asset. Management offers commercial and real estate loans priced at interest rates which fluctuate with various indices such as the prime rate or rates paid on various government issued securities. In addition, the Corporation prices the majority of fixed rate loans so it has an opportunity to reprice the loan within 12 to 36 months.
The Corporation also has $24.086 million of securities providing for scheduled monthly principal and interest payments as well as unanticipated prepayments of principal. These cash flows are then reinvested into other earning assets at current market rates. The Corporation also has federal funds sold to correspondent banks as well as other interest-bearing deposits with correspondent banks. These funds are generally repriced on a daily basis.
The Corporation offers deposit products with a variety of terms ranging from deposits whose interest rates can change on a weekly basis to certificates of deposit with repricing terms of up to five years. Longer term deposits generally include penalty provisions for early withdrawal.
Beyond general efforts to shorten the loan pricing periods and extend deposit maturities, management can manage interest rate risk by the maturity periods of securities purchased, selling securities available for sale, and borrowing funds with targeted maturity periods, among other strategies. Also, the rate of interest rate changes can impact the actions taken since the rate environment affects borrowers and depositors differently.
Exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on a regular basis. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and to structure the composition of the balance sheet to minimize interest rate risk and at the same time maximize income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize the risks. Tools used by management include maturity and repricing analysis and interest rate sensitivity analysis. The Bank has monthly asset/liability meetings with an outside consultant to review its current position and strategize about future opportunities on risks relative to pricing and positioning of assets and liabilities.
The difference between repricing assets and liabilities for a specific period is referred to as the gap. An excess of repricable assets over liabilities is referred to as a positive gap. An excess of repricable liabilities over assets is referred to as a negative gap. The cumulative gap is the summation of the gap for all periods to the end of the period for which the cumulative gap is being measured.
Assets and liabilities scheduled to reprice are reported in the following time frames. Those instruments with a variable interest rate tied to an index and considered immediately repricable are reported in the 1- to 90-day time frame. The estimates of principal amortization and prepayments are assigned to the following time frames.

The above analysis indicates that at June 30, 2007, the Corporation had a cumulative liability sensitivity gap position of $34.956 million within the one-year time frame. The Corporation’s cumulative liability sensitive gap suggests that if market interest rates increase in the next twelve months, the Corporation has the potential to earn less net interest income. Conversely, if market interest rates decrease in the next twelve months, the above GAP position suggests the Corporation’s net interest income would increase. A limitation of the traditional gap analysis is that it does not consider the timing or magnitude of non-contractual repricing or expected prepayments. In addition, the gap analysis treats savings, NOW, and savings accounts as repricing within 90 days, while experience suggests that these categories of deposits are actually comparatively resistant to rate sensitivity.
At December 31, 2006, the Corporation had a cumulative liability sensitivity gap position of $36.811 million within the one-year time frame. The decrease in the gap position from December 31, 2006, to June 30, 2007, was insignificant.
The borrowings in the gap analysis include $15 million of the FHLB advances as fixed-rate advances. These advances give the FHLB the option to convert from a fixed-rate advance to an adjustable rate advance with quarterly repricing at three-month LIBOR Flat. The exercise of this conversion feature by the FHLB would impact the repricing dates currently assumed in the analysis. In 2006, the FHLB converted $20 million of the $35 million total FHLB borrowings from fixed to variable rate.
The Corporation’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk and foreign exchange risk. The Corporation has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. The Corporation has limited agricultural-related loan assets and therefore has minimal significant exposure to changes in commodity prices. Any impact that changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices would have on interest rates are assumed to be insignificant.
Evaluating the exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the process used to control interest rate risk and the quantitative level of exposure. The Corporation’s interest rate risk management process seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems, and internal controls are in place to maintain interest rate risk at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. In evaluating the quantitative level of interest rate risk, the Corporation assesses the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and asset quality.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Continued)
In addition to changes in interest rates, the level of future net interest income is also dependent on a number of variables, including: the growth, composition and levels of loans, deposits, and other earning assets and interest-bearing obligations, and economic and competitive conditions; potential changes in lending, investing, and deposit strategies; customer preferences; and other factors.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
In addition to managing interest rate risk, management also actively manages risk associated with foreign exchange. The Corporation provides foreign exchange services, makes loans to, and accepts deposits from, Canadian customers primarily at its banking offices in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. To protect against foreign exchange risk, the Corporation monitors the volume of Canadian deposits it takes in and then invests these Canadian funds in Canadian commercial loans and securities. As of June 30, 2007, the Corporation had excess Canadian assets of $.385 million (or $.364 million in U.S. dollars). Management believes the exposure to short-term foreign exchange risk is minimal and at an acceptable level for the Corporation.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
Derivative financial instruments include futures, forwards, interest rate swaps, option contracts and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. The Corporation currently does not enter into futures, forwards, swaps or options. However, the Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and may require collateral from the borrower if deemed necessary by the Corporation. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party up to a stipulated amount and with specified terms and conditions.
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are not recorded as an asset or liability by the Corporation until the instrument is exercised.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and results of operations in historical dollars, without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time, due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Corporation’s operations. Nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Corporation are financial, unlike industrial or commercial companies. As a result, the Corporation’s performance is directly impacted by changes in interest rates, which are indirectly influenced by inflationary expectations. The Corporation’s ability to match the interest sensitivity of its financial assets to the interest sensitivity of its financial liabilities tends to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates on the Corporation’s performance. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily move to the same extent as changes in the price of goods and services.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13-a 15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation’s management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.
There was no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Corporation’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to routine litigation incidental to the business of banking. The litigation that is not routine and incidental to the business of banking is described below.
Shareholder’s Derivative Litigation
Damon Trust v. Bittner, et al.
In an action styled Virginia M. Damon Trust v. North Country Financial Corporation, Nominal Defendant, and Dennis Bittner, Bernard A. Bouschor, Ronald G. Ford, Sherry L. Littlejohn, Stanley J. Gerou II, John D. Lindroth, Stephen Madigan, Spencer Shunk, Michael Hendrickson, Glen Tolksdorf, and Wesley Hoffman, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan on July 1, 2003, a shareholder of the Corporation has brought a shareholder’s derivative action under Section 27 of the Exchange Act against the Corporation and certain of its current and former directors and senior executive officers.
On November 11, 2003, the Corporation filed a motion, as permitted by section 495 of the MBCA, M.C.L.§ 450.1495, requesting the Court to appoint a disinterested person to conduct a reasonable investigation of the claims made by the plaintiff and to make a good faith determination whether the maintenance of the derivative action is in the best interests of the Corporation. After additional written submissions to the Court by the defendants and the plaintiff concerning the issues presented by this motion, and after several conferences with the Court, on May 20, 2004, the Court entered an Order adopting the parties’ written stipulations concerning the appointment of a disinterested person and the manner of conducting the investigation of the claims made by the plaintiff and making recommendations as to whether the maintenance of the derivative action is in the best interests of the Corporation. The Corporation is a named “nominal” defendant which requires the Corporation to cooperate with the defendants’ defense of the plaintiff’s action. The Corporation is assisting the defendants in the discovery phase of this litigation and is incurring legal fees as a consequence of that cooperation. However, in total, the Corporation’s primary purpose will be to monitor the process of this legal action and the Corporation does not expect to incur substantial legal fees related to the case.
Damon Trust v. Wipfli
This matter has been resolved and concluded with the Corporation receiving $470,000 in settlement proceeds. Please refer to the Annual Report for a more detailed description and explanation of this litigation.
