Explanatory Note

Mackinac Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (“Amendment No. 2”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2008 (the “Original Filing”), and amended August 13, 2008 to revise the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007 solely as a result of its failure to file Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in the Original Filing.

This Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A amends and restates only certain sections of Part II Item 8A and updates the certifications in Exhibits 31 and 32.1. Except for the foregoing amended information, this Form 10-K/A, including prior amendments, continues to describe the conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and no disclosures have been updated to reflect events that occurred at a later date. This Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s SEC filings made subsequent to the Original Filing.

PART II

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act securities laws is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report and pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness and design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation and solely because of the Company’s failure to file the required Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (“Report of Management”) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K when it was originally filed on March 31, 2008, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report on Form 10-K in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed by the Company, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rule and forms. The Company remedied this failure in the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures by amending its Annual Report on Form 10-K (Amendment No. 1) to provide the required Report of Management. The Company has implemented additional controls and procedures designed to ensure that the disclosure provided by the Company meets the then-current requirements of the applicable filing made under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objective will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that disclosure requirements may be misinterpreted and judgments in decision-making may be inexact.

Mr. Hugh West, Branch Chief
Mail Stop 4561
United States Securities and Exchange Commission
Washington, D.C. 20549

Dear Mr. West:

This letter is in response to correspondence from your office dated August 18, 2008, “Mackinac Financial Corporation Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2007, File No. 000-20167.” Please be advised that we have, in response to your comments, filed Amendment No. 2 to our December 31, 2007 Form 10-K on September 3, 2008 (the “Filing”). In this amendment we discuss our evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting, the results of which reveal such controls and procedures were inadequate at the time of the Filing. This conclusion is based solely on the fact that the Company failed to file the required Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in the Filing.

In addition to this amendment, the Company acknowledges the following:

•

A control system, no matter how well designed can only provide reasonable assurance of internal controls, not absolute assurance. Because of inherent limitations in all internal control programs, no program can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.

If any additional information is required, please contact the undersigned at (906) 341-7158.

Sincerely,

Ernie R. Krueger
EVP/CFO
