This fall, Eastern Michigan Bank was awarded Preferred Lender Program (PLP) status by the Small Business Administration (SBA). To obtain PLP status, a lender must demonstrate a particular proficiency in processing and servicing SBA-guaranteed loans. • •• • • • • • •• • ••• • • In January 2014, Eastern Michigan Bank was voted Best of the Best in the Sanilac County News annual Readers' Choice Awards. The bank won in two categories- Financial Institution/ Bank and Local Mortgage Lender. EASTERN MICHIGAN FINANCIAL CORPORATION Eastern Michigan Financial Corporation continued on a steady path of improvement in 2014, largely driven by further reduction in our need to provide for future loan losses. This was the fifth consecutive year in which we have reduced our provision over the previous year, a reflection of the improved economy in our market area and a good sign we have put most of the remnants of the "Great Recession" behind us. Net income for 2014 was $1,827,000, up very modestly from last year. Dividends for2014 held steady with the prior two years at $0.55 per share, including a bonus dividend of $0.07 per share in the fourth quarter. The bonus dividend had been a long standing tradition for us prior to 2009 when it was suspended due to the challenging economic times. Shareholder's equity increased to just over28 million, or $24.97 per share at year end. This is up nicely from year end 2013 due to the retention of earnings as well as a shift from what were unrealized losses in our investment portfolio to a pretty much "break even" investment portfolio from a mark to market standpoint at year end. Our capital ratio at year end was 9.95%, a 20 basis point increase over2013. Loans outstanding increased by $538,000 at year end, marking a reversal in a five year trend of a declining loan portfolio. Competition has been increasingly fierce from both community and larger banks and we did lose some deals to more aggressive lenders {I can't help but think some have already forgotten the lessons learned during the last economic down turn). To help combat this aggressiveness, we applied for and were granted Preferred Lender status by the Small Business Administration {SBA) late in the year. Participation in the SSA's Preferred Lender Program gives us the ability to approve loans we feel require an SBA guaranty via a streamlined process, thus making our turnaround time faster than most of the local competition. Agricultural lending is a major piece of our loan portfolio, so the health of our local agricultural economy is not without impact. Despite declining commodity prices, many of our crop farming customers were still able to sell their harvest at premium prices thanks to contracts they entered into early in the year. Milk prices also declined through much of the year, but some if not all of this decline was offset by a reduction in feed costs. Lower producing herds/farms were more negatively impacted by lower milk prices as they have a higher percentage of fixed costs. Cattle raising farmers seemed best positioned to take advantage of the lower feed costs as beef prices remained relatively high. Farm land prices in our market seemed to hold steady in 2014, having declined off of their highs in the previous year. Flat to rising mortgage interest rates coupled with brutal early winter weather that deterred potential home buyers from venturing out caused a sharp drop in refinance and home purchase loan demand compared to 2013. In an effort to increase production and stem the decline in fee income, we expanded our product offerings ll e c o ; n ? i o �if!i���� ��1�:�=�������2��� ��Ve�Z! �� ����� di�� The investment portfolio continued to grow in 2014, ending the ear at $1 1 8,05A,DillLl)11r invested assets ba)leJncreased steacfily. since 2008, and though we would prefer these dollars be deployed in higher earning loans, they do bring income to the bottom line.

One downside to the higher proportion of investment assets to total assets is that it compresses interest rate margin, which was just over 3% at year end. Although our foreclosed property holdings are up from year end 2013, we are not seeing as many properties work their way in and out of this category. We still have some challenging properties to market and hope to clear these off our books in 2015, encouraged by the fact that we are seeing more overall interest from buyers than in previous years. Expense management continued to be a top priority. Other Real Estate (ORE) expense declined from $163,8 8 1 in 2013 to $119, 272, a direct result of our previously mentioned ability to quickly turn over what properties we took back as well as to market properties "as is" due to an increase in demand for real estate. Thanks to judicious management of key financial ratios, we were also able to reduce the rate used to compute our F D I C insurance assessment and bring the assessment itself from $209,000 down t o $192,200. Earl E. DesJardins Chairman of the Board 2014 marked our second full year of providing non-deposit investment products via Eastern Michigan Investment Services and our full time representative, Nick Dickinson. Nick is a lifelong area resident and has used his market connections and energy to truly raise the bar for us in terms of the investment products and services we are able to offer. If you haven't met or talked to Nick, I encourage you to do so. We recognize that most of our shareholders deal with a broker somewhere-why not make it us? Technology has become an increasingly larger part of what we do as customer access preferences continue to migrate to electronJc channels. In 2014, we enhanced our electronic products, services and information detivery in a number ofvvays: 1) We upgraded our website to a responsive design format, mea ning the site now adjusts automatically to the type of access device being used; 2) We added an online mortgage application to our website; 3) We enhanced our electronic statement (eStatement) service - customers can now view cancelled checks with their eStatement and build up to 18 months of history in their online banking account; 4) QuickBooks was added as a download option in online banking. We also introduced mobile online banking at yearend, starting with employees. As of this writing, mobile banking is now available as an app for iPhone, iPad and Android smart phone users and in a mobile browser version for other devices. The remodel of 65 N. Howard Avenue mentioned in the September 30, 2014 Letter to Shareholders continues to move forward. We hope to get underway in first quarter2015 with completion in the spring, at which point we will be able to bring the staff from Peck Road to the downtown Croswell location, thus enhancing our ability to work more efficiently.

BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Consolidation and Nature of Business The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eastern Michigan Financial Corporation, a registered bank holding company (the "Corporation"), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Eastern Michigan Bank (the "Bank"), and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries Eastern Michigan Properties, LLC; Eastern Michigan Financial Services, Inc.; and Eastern Mir.higon Real Estate, Inc. AU significant fntercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated In consolidation. The Corporation is independently owned and operates a community bank engaged in the business of retail and commercial banking services through its ten branches located ln Sanilac and St. Clair counties In Niichigan. Active competition, principally from other commercial banks, savings banks and credit unions, exists In all of the Bank's primary markets, The Bank's results of operations can be significantly affected by changes in Interest rates or changes in the automotive and agricultural industries whkh comprise a significant portion of · U1t:"-tu1..dl e1..u11u111!1.. euvhu1u11�11l. Concentration Risks The Bank's primary deposit products are interest- and noninterest·bearing checking accounts, savings accounts and time deposits and Its primary lending products are real estate mortgages, commercial and consumer loans. The Bank does not have significant concentrations with respect to any one Industry, customer, or depositor. The Bank is a state chartered bank and a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") Bank Insurance Fund. The Bank is subject to the regulations and supervision of the FDIC and state regulators and undergoes periodic examinations by these regulatory authorities. The Corporation ls also subject to regulations of the Federal Reserve Board governing bank holding companies. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated 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 as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those .:stlmatt:s. SiguifiL011L e:.thuall!!;; lndud� but are not Umlted to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of certain investment securities, and the valuation of foreclosed real estate. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accounting potfcies used fn preparation of the accompanying consolldated financial statements are In conformity 'Nith accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The principles which materially affect the determination of the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiary are summarized below. Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents Include cash and balances due from banks, lnterest•bearing balances due from banks, short-term money market Investments, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for a one·day pertod. The Bank maintains deposit accounts In various financial institutions which generally exceed the FDIC insured limits or are not Insured. Management does not believe the Corporation ls exposed to any significant interest, credit or other financial risk as a result of these deposits. Certificates of deposit held in other banks Certificates of deposit held in other banks mature within 5 years and are carried at cost. Fair Value Measurements Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts such sales or transfers based on the assumptions Assumptions are market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. devetoped based upon prioritizing information within a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to quoted prices In active markets (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data, such as the reporting entity's own data (Level 3). A description of each category in the fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 : Valuation is based upon quoted prices for Identical fnstruments traded in active markets. Level 2: Valuation Is based upon quoted prices for similar Instruments In active markets1 quoted prices for Identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model·based valuation techniques forwhich all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3: Valuation Is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable fn the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the estimates of assumptions that market participants would use In pricing the asset or tlablllty. For a further discussion of Fair Value Measurements, refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Investment Securities Securities are classified as avai!able·for-sale and are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and tosses, net of the effect of deferred income taxes, recorded in other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discoun� are recognized In interest Income using the Interest method over the terms of the securities. Realized gains or losses on the sate of securities are recorded In investment income on the trade date and are detennined using the specific identification method. Investment securities are reviewed at each reporting period for possible other-than temporary Impairment ("OlTJ"). In determining whether an other·than·temporary impairment exists for debt securities, management must assert that: (a) ft does not have the Intent to sell the security; and {b) it is more likely than not the Corporation will not have to sell the security before recovery of Its cost basis. If these conditions are not met, the Corporation must recognize an other·than•temporary impairment charge through earnings for the difference between the debt security's amortized cost basis and its fair value, and such amount is included In nonlnterest income. For these debt securities, the Corporation separates the total Impairment Into the c1edit toss component and the amount of the toss related to other factors. In order to determine the amount of the credit loss for a debt security1 the Corporation calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the current cash flows and future cash flows management expects to recover. The amount of the total other·than•temporary impairment related to the credit risk is recognized in earnings and ls included in noninterest income. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impalnnent related to other risk factors is recognized as a component of other comprehensive Income. For debt securities that have recognized an _ o_ther·than-tempo!'lry}mpairfT!eflt thrn�gh.earrilngs1 lf ti/rough subsi::quent e.valuatlon there is a 51gmtlcant increase in the cash flow expeded, the difference between the amortized cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted as Interest income. Availabte·for·sale equity securities are reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment at each reporting date. This evaluation considers a number of factors including, but not limited to1 the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and management's ability and intent to hold the securities until fair value recovers. If ft is determined that management does not have the ability and Intent to hold the securities until recovery or that there are conditions that Indicate that a security may not recover in value, then the difference between the fair value and the cost of the security ls recognized In earnings and is Included in nonfnterest income. No such tosses were recognized In 2014 or 2013. Restricted Investments The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and Is required to Invest in capital stock of the Federal Home loan Bank of Indianapolis {"FHLB''). The amount of the required Investment is based upon the available balance of the Bank's outstanding home mortgage loans or advances from the FHLB and is carried at cost plus the value assigned to stock dividends, The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System and is required to invest in capital stock of the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"). The amount of the required investment is based upon the contributed capital of Eastern Michigan Bank and is carried at cost. The Bank is a Fanner Mac I seller and is required to Invest in capital stock of farmer Mac, The amount of required investment is based upon the consolidated assets at the time of the initial stock purchase and is carried at cost. Loans Loans that management has the positive Intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay·off are generally reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge·offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield uslng the interest method. The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit Is well-secured and in process of collection, Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. Past due status Is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date If collection of principal and Interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued In the current year but not collected for loans that are placed on non accrual or are charged off, is reversed against interest income while Interest accrued but not collected in prior years Is reversed against the allowance for loan tosses. The Interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. For Impaired loans not classified as nonaccruat, interest Income is recognized daily as it ls earned according to the terms of the loan agreement. Nonperforming loans of the loan portfolio are comprised of those loans accounted for on a nonaccruat basis, accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to Interest or principal payments and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings (nonperforming originated loans), Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan tosses ("allowance") ls an estimate of loan tosses inherent in the Bank's loan portfolio. The allowance is established through a provision for loan tosses which Is charged to expense, Additions to the allowance are expected to maintain the appropriateness of the total allowance after loan losses. Loan tos�es are charged off against the allowance when the Bank determines the loan balance to be uncollectible. Cash received on previously charged off amounts Is recorded as a recovery to the allowance. The allowance consists of two primary components, specific reserves related to Impaired loans and general reserves. The general component covers non·impafred loans and is based The historical loss experience is on historical losses adjusted for current factors, determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Bank over the most recent four years. The Bank places more emphasis, or weight, on the more current years In the loss history period. This actual loss experience Is adjusted for economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends In volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes fn lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of \endfng management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. These factors are inherently subjective and are driven by the repayment risk associated with each portfolio segment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it ls probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. factors considered by management in determining impairment Include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of co!tecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. loans that experience Insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally ,) . ����. .� ����������������������������������������������� G entin�e d � • • • • • • • ••• • • • D • • t -·-·····!•'�JIJlilJlilll�t· Notes To Consol idated Fi nan cial Statem ents (Dollars in thousands except share data) are not classified a s impaired.

A loan is· collateral dependent lf the repayment ls expected to be provided solely by the underlying co\later�l, Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for Impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify Individual consumer, home equity, and resfdential real estate loans for impainnent disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement or in the process of foreclosure. The Bank evaluates the credit quality of loans In the consumer loan portfolio, based primarily on the aging status of the loan and payment activity. Accordingly, nonaccruat loans, loans past due as to principal or interest 90 days or more and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings of the originated portfotlo and acquired loans past due in accordance with the loans' original contractual terms are considered In a nonperforming status for purposes of credit quality evaluation. Under certain circumstances, the Bank will provide borrowers relief through loan restructurlngs. A loan restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") if for economic or legal reasons related tO the borrower's financial difficulties the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that It would not otherwise consider. Restructured loans typically present an elevated level of credit risk as the borrowers are not able to perform according to the original contractual terms. loans that are reported as TDRs are considered Impaired and are measured for impairment as described above. The Bank assigns a risk rating to all loans except pools of homogeneous loans and periodically performs detailed internal reviews of all such loans over a certain ti)reshold to Identify credit risks and to assess the overall collectabltlty of the portfolfo. These risk ratings are also subject to e,xamination by the Bank's regulators. During the internal reviews, management monitOrs and analyzes the financial conditi.on. of borrowers .and guarantors, trends in the industries.in which the borrowers operate aod the falr values ·of collateral securing the loans. These credit quality indicators are used to assign a risk rating to each individual loan. The risk ratings can be grouped into five major categories, defined as follows: Pass: A pass loan is a credit with no existing or known potential weaknesses deserving of management's dose attention. Watch: loans classified as watch have most of the characteristics of a pass loan; however, emerging weaknesses have been detected and warrant additional attention. Special Mention: loans classffied as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's dose attention. If left uncorrected, this potential weakness may result In deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Bank's credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Substandard: loans classffled as substandard are not adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, lf any. loans classified as substandard have a well·deflned weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Well defined weaknesses Include a borrower's lack of marketability, inadequate cash flow or collateral support, failure to complete construction on time, or the failure to fulfill economic expectations. They are characterized by the dlstlnct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss ff the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful: loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses Inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. loss: loans classified as loss are considered uncotlectible and are charged off immediately. The majority of the Bank's consumer and residential loan portfolios are comprised of secured loans that are evaluated at origination on a centralized basis against standardized underwriting criteria. The ongoing measurement of credit qua!lty of the consumer, home equity, and residential real estate loan portfol!os Is largely done on an exception basis. If payments are made on schedule, as agreed, then no further monitoring is performed. However, ff delinquency occurs, the delinquent loans are turned over to the Bank's coltectlon department for resolution, which generally occurs fairly rapidly and often through repossession and foreclosure. Credit qualfty for the entire consumer, home equity, and residential real estate loan portfolio is measured by the periodic delinquency rate, nonaccrual amounts and actual losses incurred. The Bank maintains a separate general valuation allowance for each portfolio segment. These portfolio segments include commercial and industrial, agricultural, real estate related industries, other commercial loans, resfdentlat real estate, home equity and consumer and other with risk characteristics described as follows: Commercial and Industrial: Commercial and industrial loans generally possess a lower Inherent risk of loss than real estate portfolio segments because these loans are generally underwritten to existing cash flows of operating businesses. Debt coverage is provided by business cash flows and economic trends influenced by unemployment rates and other key economic indicators are closely correlated to the credit quality of these \oans. Agricultural: The risk associated with agricultural loans depends on current market prices, weather conditions and other outside factors that are distinct to this segment. These loans as with commercial and Industrial loans are generally underwritten to existing cash flows of operating businesses. Debt coverage, however, fs Influenced by different economic indicators than other commercial loans. Real Estate Related Industries: These loans generally possess a higher inherent risk of loss than other loan portfolio segments. Adverse economic developments or an overbuilt market impact real estate projects and may result in troubled loans. Trends in vacancy rates of commercial properties Impact the credit quality of these I••• • • • • •••••••• loans. High vacancy rates reduce operating revenues and the ability for the ro ertles to reduce sufficient cash flow to service debt obligations. Other Commercial! Other commercial loans are cotlaterallzed by real estate and are underwritten based upon existing cash flows of operating businesses. Because debt coverage is provided by business cash flows, trends In real estate values have less impact on this segment than other real estate segments and would be influenced more by unemployment rates and other key economic indicators. Residential Real Estate: The degree of risk ln residential mortgage lending depends primarily on the loan amount in relation to collateral value, the Interest rate and the borrower's ability to repay in an orderly fashion. These loans generally possess a lower inherent risk of loss than other rea\ estate portfolio segments. Economic trends determined by unemployment rates and other key economic Indicators are closely correlated to the credit quality of these loans. Weak economic trends indicate that the borrowers' capacity to repay their ob\igatlons may be deteriorating. Home Equity: As with resfdential real estate, the degree of risk In home eqµity lending depends on the loan amount ln relation to collateral value, the interest rate and the borrower's ability to repay in an orderly fashion but in addition depends on the value of any loan with a first lien interest. These loans generally possess a higher Inherent risk of loss than residential real estate portfolio segments. Economic trends determined by unemployment rates and other key economic indicators are closely correlated to the credit quality of these loans. Weak economic trends Indicate that the borrowers' capacity to repay their obtlgatlons may be deteriorating. Consumer and other: The consumer and other loan portfolio is usually comprised of a large number of smal\ loans, including automobile, personal loans, etc. Most loans are made directly for consumer purchases. Economic trends determined by unemployment rates and other key economic indicators are closely correlated to the credit quality of these loans. Weak economic trends indicate the borrowers' capacity to repay their obligations may be deteriorating. Although managenlent believes the aUowance to be appropriate, ultimate losses may vary from its estimates. The Board of Directors reviews the appropriateness of the allowance monthly, fndudln;i consifferation of the relevant risks ln the portfolio, current economic conditions and other factors. If the Board of Directors and management determine thcit changes are warranted based on those reviews, the allowance Is adjus.ted. In addition, the Bank's primary regulators revfew the appropriateness of the allowance. The regulatory agencies may require changes to the allowance based on their judgment about Information available at the time of their examination. Loans Held for Sale Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale In the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value In the aggregate and are Included ln loans on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance of which the provision is accounted for ln the consolidated statements of income. Transfers of Financial Assets Transfers af financial assets, Including mortgage loans held for sale, are accounted for as sates when control over the assets has been surrendered. Centro\ over transfeired assets ls deemed to be surrendered when 1) the assets have been legally isolated from the Corporation, 2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and 3) the Corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. Other than servicing, as disclosed in Note 5, the Corporation has no substantive continuing involvement related to these loans. The Corporation sold to an unrelated third party residential mortgage loans with proceeds of $21343 and $6,757 during 2014 and 2013, respectively, which resulted in a net gain of $83 and $187 for 2014 and 2013, respectively. Servicing fee Income earned on such loans was $93 and $94 for 2014 and 2013, respectively, and ls included In other noninterest Income on the consolidated statements of income. Servicing Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through the purchase or sale of financial assets. Generally, purchased servicing rights are capitalized at the cost to acquire the rights. For sales of mortgage loans, a portion of the cost of originating the loan is allocated to the servicing right based on relative fair va\ue. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Servicing assets or liabilities are amortized In proportion to and over the period of net servicing income or net servicing loss and are assessed for impairment or increased obligation based on the fair value of rights compared to amortized cost at each reporting date. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into tranches based on predominant risk characteristics, such as Interest rate, loan type, and Investor type. Impairment ls recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual tranche, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the tranche. If the Bank later determines that all or a portion of the Impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Servicing fee income ls recorded for fees earned for servicing [cans for others. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount per loan and are recognized as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights ls netted against loan servicing fee income, a component of noninterest income. Foreclosed Assets Assets acquired through, or Jn lieu of1 loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value, less costs to sell, on the date of transfer, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes In the valuation allowance are included ln expenses from foreclosed assets, net, a component of other noninterest expenses on the consolidated statements of income.

Buildings and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depredation which is computed principally by the stralght·lfne method based upon the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 3 to 40 years. Major improvements are caplta!ized and appropriately amortized based upon the useful lives of the related assets or the expected terms of the leases, ff shorter, using the straight·lfne method. Maintenance, rep�lrs and minor alterations are charged to current operations as expenditures occur. Management annually reviews these assets to determine whether carrying values have been impaired, entities, state and municipal bonds, corporate debt securities in active markets, and auction rate money market preferred securities. Securities classified as level 3 include securities In less liquid markets. Share-Based Compensation Plans Loans For variabte---rate loans that reprice frequently and with no signfflcant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed interest rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using Interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar tenns to borrowers of similar credit quality.

' Compensation cost relat1ng to share-based payment transactions are required to be recognized In the consolidated financial statements. That cos17 is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued on the grant dates and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Bank Owned Life Insurance The Bank holds llfe Insurance polfcies purchased on the lives of key officers. In the event of death of one of these fndivfduals1 the Bank, as beneflciaiy of the policies, would receive a specified cash payment equal to the face value of the policy. Such policies are recorded at their cash surrender vatue, or the amount that can be currently realized as of the balance sheet date. The change in cash surrender value Is an adjustment of premiums paid in determining the net expense or Income recognized under the contracts for the year and ls included in other nonlnterest income. Off�Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments !n the ordfnaiy course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credlt1 including commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are considered to be guaranteesi however, as the amount of the liability related to such guarantees on the commitment date ls considered insignificant, the commitments are generally recorded only when they are funded, Income Taxes Deferred Income tax assets and liabilities are detennlned using the lfabllity (or balance :;heet) method. Under this method, the net deferred income bX ruset or liability Is determined based on the federal Income tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes In federal income tax rates and laws.

Net Income Per Share Basic earnings per share represent income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted·average number of common shares outstanding during the period• .Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding lf dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustments to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Corporation relate solely to outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method, Rec!asslflcatlons Certain amounts as reported lo the 2013 consolidated financial statements have been redasslfled to conform with the 2014 presentation.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Corporation utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to detennine fair value disclosures. Marketable securities available· for·sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Corporation may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans, loans held for sale, foreclosed assets, mortgage serilcing rights, and certain other assets and liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typicatty involve the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write downs of fodividual assets. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and key inputs used to measure financial assets and !lablllties recorded at fair value, as well as a description of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value disclosures for financial instruments not -recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis. For financial assets and l!abllltles recorded at fair value, the description includes an Indication of the level of the fair value hierarchy in which the assets or liabilities are classified. Cash and Cash Equivatents The carrying amounts of cash and short•term Instruments, including Interest bearing balances due from banks, short-term money market investments, and Federal funds sold approximate fair values. Certificates of deposit held in other banks The carrying amounts of certificates of deposit held in otherbanks approximate fair values. Investment Securities Investment securities dasslfled as avallable·for·sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring, b�s. fair \'alue measurement is based upon quoted prices, ff available, If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using Independent pricing models or other modet·based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss and liquidity assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, those that are traded by dealers or brokers In active over·the---counter markets and money market funds. level 2 fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices for slmllar securities, if available. lf quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss and liquidity assumptions. Level 2 securities include U.S. government and federal agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by govemment·sponsored Restricted Investments The carl)'ing value of Federal Home Loan Bank Stock1 federal Reserve Bank Stock and Farmer Mac Stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issuing entities. The Corporation does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. Howev�r, from time to time, a loan Is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which It Is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made ln accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered Impaired, Once a loan is identified as Individually impaired, management measures Impairment in accordance with accounting standards for subsequent measurement of receivables. The fair value of Impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At December 31, 2014 and 20131 substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans where an allowance ls established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the falr value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a currerit appraised value, the Corporation records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When a current appraised value- is nut available or managE:mE:nt deLE:nllille!. l11t! fair Vdlu� uf tl1� Lulh1l�1al h further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Corporation records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3, Accrued Interest Receivable The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest receivable approximate their fair value. Foreclosed Assets Upon transfer from the loan portfolio, foreclosed assets are adjusted to and subsequently carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value Is based upon independent market prices1 appraised values of the collateral or management's estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral Is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Corporation reports the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2, When a current appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the cotlateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Corporation reports the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3. Mortgage SerYlcing Rights Mortgage seriicing rights are subject to impalnnent testing. A valuation model, which utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates and prepayment speed assumptions currently quoted for comparable instruments and a discount rate determined by management, is used for Impairment testing. Jf the valuation model reflects a value less than the carl)'ing value, loan servicing rights are adjusted to fair value through a vatuatlon allowance as determined by the model. As such, the Corporation classifies loan seriicfng rights subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there was no impairment recorded for mortgage servicing rights and, therefore, no mortgage serilcing rights assets were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Interest- and Noninterest-Bear!ng Deposits The fair values of demand deposit accounts, such as interest· and noninterest·bearing checking, savings and money market accounts, are equal to the amounts payable on demand. Fair \'alues for interest-bearing deposits (time deposits) with defined maturities are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for deposits of similar maturities, The fair values for variable-interest rate certificates of deposit approximate their carrying value, Accrued Interest Payable The carrying amounts reported lo the consolidated balance sheets for Interest payable approximate their fair value, Commitments to ExtenO Credit', Sta"ndby Letters of Credit, and Uridisbursed Loans The Corporation's unused loan commltments1 standby letters of credit and undisbursed loans have no carrying amount and have been estimated to have no realfzable fair value. Historically, a majority of the unused loan commitments have not been drawn upon and, generally, the Corporation does not receive fees in connection with these commitments. The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Corporation believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. These lines of credit are uncollaterallzed and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the 8ank Is committed. A majority of such commitments are at fixed rates of Interest; a portion fs unsecured. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there ls 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, The commitments may expire 'Nlthout being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Commercial and standby letters ct credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of ci.' customer to a third party. These letters of credit are primarily Issued to support public i:ind private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit Issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk Involved In Issuing lette!'s of credit Is essentially the same as that Involved in extending loan fadlltles to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary, Guarantees that are not derivative contracts have been recorded on the Corporation's consolidated balance sheets at their fair value at Inception. The Bank considers standby letters of credit to be guarantees; however, as the amount of the liability related to such guarantees on the commitment date Is not significant, a tfablllty related to such guar�ntees ls not recorded at December 31, 2014 or 2013. 12.

The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors, Prompt corrective action provfslons are not applicable to bank holding companies. Quantitative measurements established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth In the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined In the regulations) to risk·welghted assets (as defined) and Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management be\feves, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, that the Corporation and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Sta tements I Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted i n the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Independent Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on auditor judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. I n making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Corporation's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion ln- our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eastern M ichigan Financial Corporation as of December 3 1 , 2014 and 201 3 , and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. �-t� LLC Rehmann is an independent member of Neria International.
