Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
OVERVIEW
The Corporation is a Michigan corporation that was incorporated on February 26,
2004 to organize and serve as the holding company for a Michigan state bank,
Bank of Birmingham (the "Bank") in Birmingham, Michigan. The Bank is a full
service commercial bank headquartered in Birmingham, Michigan, with a full
service branch banking office in Bloomfield Township, Michigan. It serves the
communities of Birmingham, Bloomfield, Bingham Farms, Franklin and Beverly Hills
and the neighboring communities. The Corporation completed the first phase of
its stock offering on July 25, 2006 and capitalized the Bank on that date. The
Bank opened for business on July 26, 2006 in a modular facility at the site of
its future branch at 4145 W. Maple in Bloomfield Township. The modular facility
served as the Bank's temporary main office until leasehold improvements at the
permanent main office facility at 33583 Woodward Avenue in Birmingham were
completed and the office opened for business at the end of August 2006.
Remodeling then commenced at the Bloomfield facility and it opened for business
on February 20, 2007. The Bank serves businesses and consumers across Oakland
and Macomb counties with a full range of lending, deposit, and Internet banking
services.
The results of operations depend largely on net interest income. Net interest
income is the difference in interest income the Corporation earns on
interest-earning assets, which comprise primarily commercial business,
commercial real estate and residential real estate loans and the interest the
Corporation pays on our interest-bearing liabilities, which are primarily
deposits and borrowings. Management strives to match the re-pricing
characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities
to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes
in the shape of the yield curve.
The results of our operations have also been affected by local and general
economic conditions. The largest geographic segment of our customer base is in
Oakland County, Michigan. The economic base of the County continues to diversify
from the automotive service sector. This trend should lessen the impact on the
County of future economic downturns in the automotive sector of the economy.
Oakland County's proximity to major highways and affordable housing has
continued to spur economic growth in the area. Changes in the local economy may
affect the demand for commercial loans and related small to medium business
related products. The competitive environment among other financial institutions
and financial service providers and the Bank in the Oakland and Macomb counties
of Michigan may affect the pricing levels of various deposit products.
General economic conditions have worsened for banks in general and particularly
in Michigan as the U.S. economic picture has place us into a recession. Michigan
and the Detroit area in particular have been hit fairly hard. Michigan has one
of the highest foreclosure rates and unemployment rates in the country. While
Oakland county is not immune to these issues, the demographics of the Birmingham
Bloomfield area somewhat lessen the impact as the residents of the area tend to
be more business owners and professionals. The Bank has been very prudent in our
lending practices and those efforts continue to show a very clean loan portfolio
through the first quarter of the year. During April 2009, we placed two credits
on non-accrual status, one for $18,277 and the second for $817,018. The first is
a probate matter, and the second involves a collateral dependent commercial real
estate property. This property is well collateralized and management does not
expect to sustain a loss related to this account.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Corporation's (and the Bank's) main office is located at 33583 Woodward
Avenue, Birmingham, MI 48009. The building is a free-standing one story office
building of approximately 8,300 square feet. The Bank also operates a branch
office at 4145 West Maple Road, near the intersection of Telegraph Road in
Bloomfield Township, MI, which is approximately 5 miles from the main office.
The branch office occupies approximately 2,815 square feet in a one story office
building. The Bank has executed lease agreements with respect to each of its
banking locations. The main office lease commenced in October 2005 and the Bank
has exercised its first renewal option resulting in the lease being extended
until October 2025, and the branch office lease commenced in March 2006 and runs
through February 2016. Each of the leases has a ten year renewal option.
At this time, neither the Corporation nor the Bank intends to own any of the
properties from which the Bank will conduct banking operations. The Bank used
approximately $2.9 million of the proceeds of the Company's initial public
offering to purchase furniture, fixtures and equipment at the two locations. The
Bank has 20 full-time equivalent employees to staff its banking offices.
The Bank will continue to use the remainder of its capital for customer loans,
investments and other general banking purposes. We believe that the
Corporation's initial offering proceeds will enable the Bank to maintain a
leverage capital ratio, which is a measure of core capital to average total
assets, in excess of 8% for the first three years of operations as required by
the FDIC. The Corporation does anticipate that it will require $4.0 to
$6.0 million in additional equity during the next 36 months of operations in
order to continue to grow while meeting regulatory capital requirements.
Management is exploring the capital markets with the aid of consultants to
determine how and when it may raise the additional equity.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
At March 31, 2009, the Corporation's total assets were $73.0 million, an
increase of $5.7 million or 8.5% from December 31, 2008. Cash and cash
equivalents increased by $3.5 million or 74.8%. Investment securities available
for sale decreased $250,000 or 6.4% from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009.
Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, increased by $2.6 million or 4.6%
from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. Total deposits increased by
$6.1 million or 10.5% from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. Basic and
diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $(0.17)
per share and $(0.17) per share, respectively. Basic and diluted loss per share
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $(0.35) per share and $(0.35) per
share, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.5 million or 74.8% to $8.2 million at
March 31, 2009 up from $4.7 million at December 31, 2008. Federal funds sold
decreased $1.5 million or 42.9% to $2.0 million at March 31, 2009. The decrease
in Federal funds sold is due to the shifting of excess funds to other accounts
which earn somewhat higher interest rates.
Investments
Total investment securities available-for-sale decreased $250,000 or 6.4% to
$3.6 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2008.
The decrease in investment securities is primarily attributable to the sale of a
corporate security and the maturity of a U.S. Government agency security,
resulting in an approximate decrease of $1.0 million, offset by $790,000 in U.S.
Government agency security purchases. The remaining decrease was due to
repayments on mortgage backed securities. The Corporation had no
held-to-maturity securities as of March 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008.

Loans, Credit Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses
During the first three months of 2009, loans, net of the allowance for loan
losses, increased $2.6 million or 4.6%, to $58.7 million at March 31, 2009 up
from $56.1 million at December 31, 2008. The largest single category increase
within loans, as noted in Note 4 to the financial statements, was equity lines
of credit which increased by $1.6 million or 15.0% to $11.9 million at March 31,
2009. Commercial real estate increased by $1.1 million or 4.9% to $24.2 million
at the current quarter end. These loans are for the most part owner occupied
properties. These increases are due in part to increased draws on existing lines
as well as continued business development efforts. Commercial non real estate
loans increased approximately $970,000 or 11.8% to $9.2 million at March 31,
2009. The increase is due to new loan production.
The allowance for loan losses was $743,500 or 1.25% of loans at March 31, 2009.
There were no loan charge offs or recoveries during the three month periods
ended March 31, 2009 or 2008. The Corporation had no nonperforming loans, which
consist of non-accruing loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing interest, at March 31, 2009, but as previously stated two accounts
totaling $835,295 were placed on non-accrual status during April 2009.
Commercial loans are reported as being in nonaccrual status if: (a) they are
maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial position of
the borrower, (b) payment in full of interest or principal is not expected, or
(c) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more.
If it can be documented that the loan obligation is both well secured and in the
process of collection, the loan may stay on accrual status. However, if the loan
is not brought current before becoming 120 days past due, the loan is reported
as nonaccrual. A nonaccrual asset may be restored to accrual status when none of
its principal or interest is due and unpaid, when it otherwise becomes well
secured, or is in the process of collection.
The primary risk element considered by management regarding each consumer and
residential real estate loan is lack of timely payment. Management has a
reporting system that monitors past due loans and has adopted policies to pursue
its creditor's rights in order to preserve the Bank's position. The primary risk
elements concerning commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate
loans are the financial condition of the borrower, the sufficiency of
collateral, and lack of timely payment. Management has a policy of requesting
and reviewing annual financial statements from its commercial loan customers and
periodically reviews existence of collateral and its value.
Management evaluates the condition of the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis to
determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management's evaluation
of the allowance is further based on consideration of actual loss experience,
the present and prospective financial condition of borrowers, adequacy of
collateral, industry concentrations within the portfolio, and general economic
conditions. Management believes that the present allowance is currently
adequate, based on the broad range of considerations listed above. Management
will, during 2009, increase its planned provision to raise the reserve to around
1.30% of total loans due to the continued unstable economic environment that we
are operating within.
Although management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to
absorb losses as they arise, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will
not sustain losses in any given period that could be substantial in relation to
the size of the allowance for credit losses. Inherent risks and uncertainties
related to the operation of a financial institution require management to depend
on estimates, appraisals and evaluations of loans to prepare the Corporation's
financial statements. Changes in economic conditions and the financial prospects
of borrowers may result in changes to the estimates, appraisals and evaluations
used. In addition, if circumstances and losses differ substantially from
management's assumptions and estimates, the allowance for loan losses may not be
sufficient to absorb all future losses and net income could be significantly
impacted.

Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment was $2.2 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008. The Corporation has no plans for significant additions over the next
twelve months.
Deposits
Total deposits were $63.8 million as March 31, 2009, an increase of $6.1 million
over December 31, 2008. In the deposit categories, noninterest bearing DDA
deposits were $5.7 million, which were made up primarily of business accounts.
NOW accounts which, except for limited circumstances, are owned by individuals
were $8.1 million at March 31, 2009, while Money Market accounts were $10.4
million and Savings accounts were $7.8 million at the current quarter end.
Certificates of deposit were $31.8 million at March 31, 2009. Of this amount
$18.3 million was in certificates greater than $100,000. Beginning in
February 2008, the Corporation began advertising its rates on certain
certificates of deposits on a national certificate of deposit network, which has
attracted some deposits from outside the local market. We will continue to
utilize this avenue to supplement our deposit base as we continue to focus on
growing our portion of the local retail and commercial deposit market. We have
also chosen to participate in the MI-CD program with the State of Michigan. This
program allows us to acquire State of Michigan certificate of deposit funds at
below market rates to aid in the funding of our loan portfolio.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were
$543,000 and $414,000 respectively. Interest income on loans was $843,000 and
$650,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The
growth in interest income on loans was driven by continued growth in the loan
portfolio. Deposit interest expense of $340,000 and $314,000 for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, increased due to the growth
in savings accounts and certificates of deposit.
The following table shows the Corporation's consolidated average balances of
assets, liabilities, and equity. The table also details the amount of interest
income or interest expense and the average yield or rate for each category of

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The yield on interest-earning assets decreased for the quarter ended March 31,
2009 to 5.32% from 6.09% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Much
of the decrease was due to reductions in the yield in the loan portfolio with
the prime rate changes throughout 2008. The yield on loans receivable decreased
to 5.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 6.53% for the same
period in 2008. The Corporation's interest rate spread increased for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 to 2.85% from 2.48% for the same period in 2008. The
Corporation has benefited from an improvement in the spread on interest rates as
reductions in the cost of deposits outpaced the reduction in loan yields. In the
prior year, deposit rates were higher due to the competitive market as well as
promotional rates offered to attract and build the customer base. Net interest
margin decreased to 3.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 down from
3.46% for the same period in 2008. As loan growth continues, management expects
to utilize the liquidity of the federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances
with other financial institutions, in addition to local deposits, which will
improve the yield on interest-earning assets, which should translate to
improvement in the net interest margin.
Provision for Loans Losses
The provision for loan losses was $33,500 and $50,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease from the previous comparable
period in provision for loan losses was due to loans growing at a slower pace of
$2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, while the increase in
the loan portfolio for the same period in 2008 was $6.5 million. Due to the
continuing rough economic conditions, management has decided to gradually
increase the provision to build our loan loss reserve levels to a more
conservative 1.30% of total loans during 2009.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $26,000 and $38,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. Loan fees and charges decreased to approximately
$3,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, down from $10,700 for the same
period in 2008. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in income earned on
mortgage loans originated for third parties. Other income decreased
approximately $4,800 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, down from $9,400 for
the same period in 2008. This decrease is due to a decrease in the gain on sale
of securities, which was approximately $1,200 for the quarter ended March 31,
2009, and approximately $6,500 for the same period in 2008. Deposit fees and
charges remained stable at approximately $18,000 for the three month periods
ending March 31, 2008 and 2009.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was
$848,000 and $1,026,000 respectively. Salaries and benefits continued to be the
largest component of non-interest expense. Salaries and benefits decreased
$178,000, or 32.4%, to $371,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 down from
$549,000 for the same period of 2008. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008,
management decreased staffing levels; therefore severance costs totaling
approximately $134,000 are included in the prior quarter salaries and benefits
costs. During the current period, management of the Corporation continued to
examine the business trends to date and increased staffing accordingly, with the
additions of a Chief Financial Officer and a Senior Loan Officer. Occupancy
expenses decreased to $213,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 down from
$219,000 for the same period of 2008. Data processing expenses were $54,000 for
the three month period ended March 31, 2009, compared to $44,000 for the same
period in 2008 mainly due to loan and deposit growth and price increases from
the vendor. Advertising expenses were $34,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009, up from $23,000 as compared to the same period in 2008. In the
current period, the Corporation incurred a $10,000 platinum sponsorship cost
aimed at increasing business in the Corporation's principal markets.
Professional fees were $81,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009
compared to $87,000 for the same period in 2008. For the current quarter end,
the Corporation recognized $15,500 for external audit expenses, $12,000 for
internal audit expenses, and $14,000 for legal expenses and $5,400 for other
consulting expenses. By comparison, for the same period in 2008, the Corporation
incurred $24,000, $10,800, $18,000 and $-0- in external audit, internal audit,
legal

Operations
and other consulting costs, respectively. Other expenses decreased to $79,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $87,000 for the same
period in 2008. This decrease is due in large part to loan costs having a
positive variance in the current period.
Income Taxes
No income tax expense or benefit was recognized during the three month periods
ended March 31, 2009 or 2008 due to the tax loss carry-forward position of the
Corporation. An income tax benefit may be booked in future periods when the
Corporation begins to turn a profit and management believes that profitability
will be expected for the foreseeable future beyond that point.
