CLARKSTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2003 (unaudited) and December 31, 2002

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 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 only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Proxy Statement dated April 4, 2003, containing audited financial statements as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clarkston Financial Corporation (the "Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Clarkston State Bank (the "Bank"). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates - To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The collectibility of loans, fair values of financial instruments, and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change.

Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the various temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based on management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation 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


8



CLARKSTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2003 (unaudited) and December 31, 2002

impairment include payment status, collateral value and the profitability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including length of the delay, the reasons of the delay, the borrowers' prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Stock Compensation Plans - The Corporation has chosen to measure compensation cost for director and employee stock compensation plans using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an option holder must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Corporation's stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and no compensation cost is recognized for them. The fair value-based method of accounting for stock compensation plans measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Corporation has provided pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share and other disclosures as if the fair value based method of accounting has been applied. The pro forma disclosures include the effects of all awards granted since the Corporation's inception.

NOTE 2 - COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

NOTE 3 - SECURITIES

At September 30, 2003, investment securities having a carrying value of $6.8 million were pledged to local municipalities and county governments. Securities are pledged as required by law to be used as collateral for public liabilities.

The Bank does not have any securities in its portfolio that are classified as held to maturity. All securities are classified as available for sale and the amortized cost and fair values of those securities are as follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 7 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Corporation has two stock-based compensation plans. Under the employees’ Stock Compensation Plan (“Employee Plan”), the Corporation may grant options or issue restricted stock to key employees for up to 26,125 shares of common stock. Under the 1998 Founding Directors Stock Option Plan (“Director Plan”), the Corporation may grant options for up to 78,375 shares of common stock. Under both plans, there is a minimum vesting period of between one to three years before the options may be exercised, and all options expire 10 years after the date of their grant. Certain options (contingent options) under both plans vest on an accelerated basis upon the achievement of various future financial and operational goals. All such options vest 9.5 years after the date of grant regardless of achievement of future goals. Under both plans, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Corporation’s common stock on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes stock option transactions for both plans and the related average exercise prices for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:

The Corporation has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, but applies the intrinsic value method to account for its plan. The Corporation has estimated fair market value of the options granted in 2000 at $2.34 per share, using a “minimum value” concept. The value was calculated using an assumed interest rate of 6.5 percent and estimated life of five years.

If the Corporation had elected to recognize compensation costs for the plans based on the fair value of awards at the grant date, net income per share on a pro forma basis for three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 would have been as follows (000s omitted, except per share data):

Shares of restricted stock issued to employees in 2003 were valued at the market price of the stock at the award date. Compensation expense is being recognized over the three year vesting period for the restricted stock.

NOTE 8 – MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Corporation (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

CLARKSTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2003 (unaudited) and December 31, 2002

Quantitative measures 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 I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, that the Corporation and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of September 30, 2003, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s capital category. The Corporation’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 are also presented in the table below (dollars in thousands).
