For Immediate Release

FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2003 RESULTS

        Fentura Financial, Inc. announced net income of $910,000 or .53 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a 17.4% increase over the net income of $775,000 or .45 per diluted share achieved in the same quarter of 2002. Net interest income increased modestly over the prior year, but non interest income from deposit account service charges and mortgage banking activities increased substantially over the second quarter of the prior year. The non interest income gains offset a substantial increase in loan loss provision expense which was recorded in connection with the default and collateral liquidation of a commercial loan granted previously by The State Bank. This unique situation is not an indication of loan portfolio problems, as overall asset quality remains strong.

        Year-to-date earnings of $1,731,000 or $1.01 per diluted share reflect a 26.4% increase over the $1,369,000 reported during the first six months of 2002. While the year-to-date net interest margin declined from 4.50% to 4.24%, balance sheet growth resulted in a 6.6% increase in net interest income in the year-to-date comparison. Non interest income gains associated with deposit account and mortgage banking activities mentioned previously offset modest increases in non interest expense and the additional provision expense.

        Total assets increased $86,000,000 over the level reported at June 30, 2002. Approximately $22,000,000 of the total increase involved the temporary investment of bond funds from a local municipality. Additionally, The State Bank utilized borrowings to fund an expansion of the investment portfolio. Management expects the transaction to assist in insulating the Bank from further margin compression which may result from future reductions

in market interest rates. Core deposits increased approximately $50,000,000 or 18.8% over the prior year. Retail loans declined slightly while commercial loans increased $20,000,000 or 13.7%. Total shareholder’s equity increased from $39,068,000 to $40,116,000 and return on average shareholder equity increased 23.8% from 7.02% to 8.69%.

        Fentura Financial, Inc. is the financial services holding company for The State Bank headquartered in Fenton, Michigan, with offices serving Fenton, Linden, Holly and Grand Blanc, as well as Davison State Bank with two offices serving the Davison area.
