Fentura Financial, Inc. announced third quarter earnings of $1,167,000 or $.068 per share, an increase of $240,000 or 25.9% over the $927,000 achieved during the third quarter of 2002. On a year-to-date basis, Fentura income of $2,898,000 or $1.69 per share reflects a 26.2% increase over the $2,296,000 achieved through the third quarter of 2002.
The earnings increase for the quarter and on a year-to-date basis reflects continued improvement in net interest income and a substantial increase in non interest income. Deposit account revenue and gains from the sale of residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market were the primary source for the improvement in non interest income for the quarter and on a year-to-date basis.
At the September quarter end, total assets reached $424,890,000, an increase of $96,813,000 over the level reported at September 30, 2002. Non interest bearing deposits increased more than $10,000,000 while total deposits increased approximately $83,944,000. The total deposit increase included a $22,000,000 temporary municipal deposit which is not expected to remain with the bank long term. Total loans increased approximately $15,000,000 over the prior year with most of the growth occurring in the commercial loan portfolio. The remaining funding increase was allocated to the investment portfolios of the subsidiary banks.

| Letter to Shareholders |
I am pleased to report third quarter earnings of $1,167,000 or $.068 per share, an increase of $240,000 or 25.9% over the $927,000 achieved during the third quarter of 2002. On a year-to-date basis, Fentura income of $2,898,000 or $1.69 per share reflects a 26% increase over the $2,296,000 achieved in the same quarter of 2002.
The earnings increase for the quarter and on a year-to-date basis reflects continued improvement in net interest income and a substantial increase in non interest income. Deposit account revenue and gains from the sale of residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market were the primary source for the improvement in non interest income for the quarter and on a year-to-date basis.
At the September quarter end, total assets reached $424,890,000, an increase of $96,813,000 over the level reported at September 30, 2002. Non interest bearing deposits increased more than $10,000,000 while total deposits increased approximately $83,944,000. The total deposit increase included a $22,000,000 temporary municipal deposit which is not expected to remain with the bank long term. Total loans increased approximately $15,000,000 over the prior year with most of the growth occurring in the commercial loan portfolio. The remaining funding increase was allocated to the investment portfolios of the subsidiary banks.
We are particularly pleased with the deposit growth achieved at both The State Bank and Davison State Bank during the past year. Surpassing $400,000,000 in total assets represented achievement of another major milestone for Fentura. Davison State Bank is rapidly approaching $50,000,000 in total assets and the two new Grand Blanc offices established by The State Bank are both surpassing original growth projections. Additionally, The State Bank plans to open a new Grand Blanc Loan Production Office during the forth quarter of 2003.
We are optimistic about improving trends in the economy and our future performance as we proceed into the fourth quarter and move into 2004.
As always, we appreciate your continued support of The State Bank, Davison State Bank and Fentura Financial, Inc.
Donald L. Grill
President and CEO
