Mackinac Financial Corporation Reports Second Quarter and Six Months 2008 Results

MANISTIQUE, MI–(EMWNews – July 30, 2008) – Mackinac Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: MFNC), the bank holding company for mBank (the “Bank”) today announced

second quarter 2008 income of $1.769 million or $.52 per share compared to

net income of $.546 million, or $.16 per share for the second quarter of

2007. Net income for the first six months of 2008 totaled $1.908 million,

or $.56 per share, compared to $1.581 million, or $.46 per share, for the

same period in 2007. Book value as of June 30, 2008 is $11.98 per share, an

increase of $2.23 per share since the recapitalization, which was priced at

$9.75 per share in December of 2004.

The quarter and six month results for 2008 include the positive effect,

$3.475 million, of a lawsuit settlement, the negative effects, $.425

million, of a severance agreement and a $.750 million loan loss provision.

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.

Weighted average shares totaled 3,424,314 year to date and 3,419,933 for

the second quarter in 2008 compared to 3,428,695 for both periods in 2007.

Paul Tobias, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our business

model has been to leverage our Upper Peninsula loan and deposit base while

building a franchise in Southeast Michigan. In the past two years, our

ability to make loans has outpaced our ability to raise deposits in Oakland

County. This imbalance has caused us to use wholesale deposits as a

funding source. Changes in interest rates in late 2007 and early 2008

caused our net interest margin to shrink. We are making progress in

growing our base of demand accounts, but this effort will take time. Along

with progress in this area, we are pleased to report the following:

— With two exceptions in Southeast Michigan, our asset quality remains

good

— We have been successful repricing and increasing our loan spreads when

loans renew

— A large majority of our loans and deposits remain in the Upper Peninsula

of Michigan, which continues to grow and present relationship

opportunities.

— We are fortunate that the proceeds of the above mentioned lawsuit will

substantially offset the negative impact of falling interest rates on our

net interest margin, but this is a onetime benefit.

While we continue to work on growing our base of deposit customers, we are

also focused on lowering our cost of doing business. To date in 2008,

management has acted to lower the annual run rate of personnel and other

operating expenses by approximately $.750 million.”

The net interest margin in the second quarter was 3.19%, a modest

improvement of 6 basis points from the first quarter of 2008. The net

interest margin, due to our asset sensitive position, was significantly

impacted by lower rates in the first six months of 2008, as reflected in a

36 basis point decline from the fourth quarter of 2007 interest margin of

3.55%.

Total assets of the Corporation at June 30, 2008 were $437.327 million, up

$44.008 million, or 11.19% from the $393.319 million in total assets

reported at June 30, 2007 and up $28.447 million, or 6.96%, from total

assets of $408.880 million at year-end 2007. Asset balances as of June 30,

2008 reflect increased balances of short term investments of $19.318

million for added liquidity.

Loans at June 30, 2008 totaled $362.122 million, a 6.85% increase from the

$338.896 million at June 30, 2007, and an increase of $7.043 million, or

1.98%, from year-end loans of $355.079 million. Tobias stated, “Loan

growth in the first half was retarded by large paydowns amounting to $9.2

million, along with normal loan principal reductions of $15.3 million.

Given the current economic environment, and tough requirements for loan

pricing and credit quality, we are pleased with current year to date

production which totaled $34.2 million. Also worth noting is the number of

new loan opportunities, approximately 50% of total production, we have seen

in the Upper Peninsula. We are especially pleased with the economic

development in and around Marquette County, where we currently have two

branch office locations. In general, the Upper Peninsula has not

experienced the economic downturn and collateral deterioration that has

occurred elsewhere in Michigan. In Marquette and the western Upper

Peninsula, we are experiencing growth opportunities.”

Total deposits of $356.976 million at June 30, 2008 were up 11.12% from

deposits of $321.246 million on June 30, 2007. Deposits were up $36.149

million, or 11.27% from year-end 2007 deposits of $320.827 million. Total

2008 deposit growth reflects increases in noncore funding of $35.665

million and increases in core deposits of $.484 million, or 2.42%.

Nonperforming assets at the end of the second quarter of 2008 totaled

$8.008 million, 1.83% of total assets, an increase of $2.774 million from

2007 year end balances. This 2008 increase in nonperforming assets is not

indicative of significant deterioration in portfolio credit quality and is

still relatively low by comparative peer standards. Tobias, commenting on

credit quality, stated, “The increase in our nonperforming assets is the

result of two large credit relationships from Southeastern Michigan which

we believe were impacted by the market and the regional economy. While we

feel comfortable with our loan loss reserve, the rapid deterioration in

borrower collateral values that we witnessed in the credits mentioned above

has caused us to take a very cautious stance in the market place and to

increase our monitoring efforts. To that end, we reorganized our credit

staffing in Southeastern Michigan and increased our loan committee

oversight of the credit decision making process. Our quarter end numbers

are a reflection of this process, and we intend to manage our nonperforming

assets in order to limit carrying costs and further collateral

deterioration by aggressive disposition.”

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2008 totaled $40.975 million, or $11.98

per share, compared to $30.485 million, or $8.89 per share on June 30,

2007. Tobias commented, “Since the recapitalization in December 2004, the

Corporation has increased book value from $9.75 to $11.98 per share, or

22.9%. We cannot control the market value of our shares but we believe

that we can continue to grow the book value of your company, and as we

execute our plan, the market will correctly value the company based upon

both book value and core earnings multiples.”

Tobias concluded, “We are proud of our performance in these troubled times.

While we have had some credit deterioration, we believe it is controlled

and reserved for and that the aggregate levels of nonperformers and the

potential future provision risk is small when compared to peers and the

banking industry in general. While our business model is currently overly

reliant on purchased CDs, we are focused on core deposit growth, and we

expect the mix to change.”
