The financial statements of Community Central Bank Corporation (the "Corporation") include the consolidation of its direct and indirect subsidiaries: Community Central Bank (the "Bank"); and Community Central Mortgage Company, LLC (the "Mortgage Company"). The Corporation's Consolidated Balance Sheets are presented as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These unaudited financial statements are for interim periods, and do not include all disclosures normally provided with annual financial statements. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. In the opinion of management, the interim statements referred to above contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2. The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. The following describes the critical accounting policies, which are employed in the preparation of financial statements. Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in existing loans and loan commitments. The adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations that take into consideration such factors as prior loss experience, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, loan concentrations, specific impaired or problem loans and commitments, current and anticipated economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay, and other subjective factors. The determination of the allowance is also based on regulatory guidance. This guidance includes, but is not limited to, generally accepted accounting principles, and guidance issued from other regulatory bodies such as the joint policy statement issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. 3. Community Central Capital Trust I, a business trust subsidiary of the Corporation sold 10,000 shares of cumulative preferred securities ("trust preferred securities") at $1,000.00 per trust preferred security in June 2002. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from the Corporation. The trust preferred securities carry a variable rate of interest at the three month libor plus 365 basis points, have a stated maturity of 30 years, and, in effect, are guaranteed by the Corporation. The securities are redeemable at par after 5 years. Distributions on the trust preferred securities are payable quarterly on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30. The first distribution was paid on September 30, 2002 and distributions have been made quarterly ever since. Under certain circumstances, distributions may be deferred for up to 20 calendar quarters. However, during any such deferrals, interest accrues on any unpaid distributions at the rate of the three month libor plus 365 basis points. The trust preferred securities are carried on the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet as a liability and the interest expense is recorded on the Corporation's consolidated statement of income. The trust preferred securities qualify for up to 25% of tier I capital. Any amount in excess of this limit may be included in tier 2 capital. Prior to 2004, the trust was consolidated in the Corporation's financial statements, with the trust preferred securities issued by the trust reported in liabilities as "Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interest in the Corporation's Subordinated Debentures" and the subordinated debentures eliminated in consolidation. Under new accounting guidance, FASB Interpretation No. 46, as revised in December 2003, the trust is no longer consolidated with the Corporation, accordingly, the Corporation does not report the securities issued by the trust as liabilities, and instead reports as liabilities the subordinated debentures issued by the Corporation and held by the trust, as these are no longer eliminated in consolidation. Amounts previously reported as "Guaranteed preferred beneficial interest in Corporation's subordinated debentures" in liabilities 8 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) have been recaptioned "subordinated debentures" and continue to be presented in liabilities on the balance sheet. The effect of no longer consolidating the trust does not significantly change the amounts reported as the Corporation's assets, liabilities, equity, or interest expense. 4. The Corporation did not issue incentive options during the six months ended June 30, 2004, or 2003. If the Corporation had used the fair value method of accounting, using the Black Scholes option pricing model and recognizing compensation cost for the plan based on the fair market value of the grant date, net income and earnings per share on a pro forma basis would have been as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2004 2003 2004 2003 ------- ------- ------- --------- (in thousands, except per share data) Net income, as reported $ 106 $ 527 $ 654 $ 1,001 Deduct: Total stock-based employee and director compensation expense under fair value based methods of awards, net of related tax effects (22) (27) (40) (55) ------- ------- ------- --------- Pro forma net income $ 84 $ 500 $ 614 $ 946 ======= ======= ======= ========= Earnings per share Basic - as reported $ 0.04 $ 0.20 $ 0.23 $ 0.38 Basic - pro forma $ 0.03 $ 0.19 $ 0.22 $ 0.36 Diluted - as reported $ 0.04 $ 0.20 $ 0.23 $ 0.37 Diluted - pro forma $ 0.03 $ 0.19 $ 0.21 $ 0.35 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions. The assumptions listed below were used in 2004 and 2003, with no practical changes during each respective period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following discussion compares the financial condition of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and statistical data presented elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation and the Bank. Words such as anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, forecasts, intends, is likely, plans, projects, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("Future Factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events (whether anticipated or unanticipated), or otherwise. Future Factors include changes in interest rate and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulation; changes in tax laws; changes in accounting standards; changes in prices, levies, and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; changes in the national and local economy; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions into our existing operations, and the availability of new acquisition's that build shareholder value; and other factors, including risk factors, referred to from time to time in filings made by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 10 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) ASSETS The Corporation's total assets increased by $56.2 million, to $414.1 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $357.9 million at December 31, 2003. The largest segment of asset growth occurred in the loan portfolio which increased $28.4 million from December 31, 2003. Loans increased during the first six months of 2004 in all categories. Residential loans, which include home equity lines of credit, increased $10.2 million primarily from portfolio loans generated by the Mortgage Company. Commercial loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial business loans, increased $13.1 and $2.8 million, or 8.8% and 7.2%, respectively. Loan growth occurred from an expanded pipeline and emphasis on closing approved loans. Installment loans increased $2.2 million primarily from the generation of boat loans. The total security portfolio at June 30, 2004 was $56.6 million, which was comprised of $55.6 million in available for sale securities and $1.0 million in held to maturity securities. The security portfolio consisted of government agency and bank qualified tax-exempt municipal securities. The total security portion decreased $1.4 million from December 31, 2003. The net change occurred because of maturities, security calls, and sales from restructuring programs. During the first six months ended June 30, 2004, the tax-exempt municipal securities increased $5.0 million and the mortgage backed securities decreased $5.6 million. Federal Agency debentures, which are partially pledged against repurchase agreements, remained relatively unchanged, decreasing $802,000 for the respective period. At June 30, 2004, the available for sale portfolio had net unrealized losses of $1.1 million, compared to a $144,000 unrealized loss at December 31, 2003. The decrease in overall market value was due to the increase in market interest rates. On the balance sheet, securities are classified as held to maturity, when the Corporation has the ability and intent to hold to maturity. Held to maturity securities are recorded at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Securities available for sale are shown on the balance sheet at estimated fair market value. Mortgage loans held for sale totaled $4.0 million at June 30, 2004 compared to $7.2 million at December 31, 2003. The mortgage loans were originated by the Bank's mortgage subsidiary, which started operations July 9, 2001. Loans closed generally remain in loans held for sale for less than 30 days in duration. Loans are normally committed for sale before funding takes place. The Corporation makes loans to customers primarily in Macomb County, Michigan. Although the Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of the local economy has traditionally been dependent on the automotive industry. Accordingly, a downturn in the automotive industry could adversely affect a borrower's ability to repay its loan. Additionally, the Corporation had approximately $58.1 million in outstanding loans at June 30, 2004, to borrowers in the real estate rental and property management industries, representing approximately 36% of the total commercial real estate loan portfolio. 11 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) A summary of nonperforming assets is as follows: June 30, December 31, 2004 2003 -------- ------------ (In thousands) Impaired loans: Nonaccrual Commercial $2,494 $ 365 Residential real estate -- -- Installment -- -- ------ ------ Total nonaccrual loans 2,494 365 Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest: Commercial -- -- Residential real estate 130 116 Installment 8 3 ------ ------ Total loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest 138 119 ------ ------ Other real estate owned (net) 681 363 ------ ------ Total nonperforming assets $3,313 $ 847 ====== ====== Total nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans 0.88% 0.18% ====== ====== Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets 0.80% 0.24% ====== ====== At June 30, 2004, nonperforming loans totaled $2.6 million compared to $484,000 at December 31, 2003, an increase of $2.1 million. The largest increase in nonperforming loans, $1.0 million, was due to a $2.0 million relationship that the bank became aware of the borrowers severe financial difficulties in the second quarter of 2004. One million of this relationship was charged-off in the second quarter of 2004. The remaining balance of the relationship, $1.0 million was primarily secured by commercial real estate. Subsequent to June 30, 2004, $917,000 of the remaining balance was paid off. The Bank is pursuing the borrower on fraud and other claims. The remaining increase in nonperforming loans was largely attributable to a loan acquired at a discount from the purchase and assumption of North Oakland Community Bank. This loan had a net book value of $801,000 as of June 30, 2004, and is secured by residential real estate properties. Management believes the collateral is sufficient to fully collect the net book balance. The remaining increase is attributable to normal activity within the loan portfolio. In the second quarter of 2004, $1.9 million in commercial and industrial were charged-off. The aggregate of the charged off loans comprised substantially of three lending relationships, with the largest for $1 million mentioned above. The other two loan charge offs of substance totaled $778,000 and had deteriorated from the purchase and assumption of North Oakland Community Bank. Of the total loans charged off in the second quarter, specific allowances of $503,000 had been assigned to these credits in previous quarters as a part of the overall allowance for credit losses. 12 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) The following table shows an analysis of the allowance for credit losses: June 30, December 31, 2004 2003 -------- ------------ (Dollars in thousands) Allowance for credit losses at beginning of period $3,573 $3,377 Provision charged to expense 1,600 275 Loans charged off (1,922) (123) Loans recovered 12 44 ------ ------ Allowance for credit losses at end of period $3,263 $3,573 ====== ====== Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans 1.09% 1.32% The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.09% at June 30, 2004, versus 1.32% at December 31, 2003. In each accounting period, management evaluates the problems and potential losses in the loan portfolio. Consideration is also given to off-balance sheet items that may involve credit risk, such as commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees. 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 adequate, based on the broad range of considerations listed above. The primary risk element considered by management regarding each installment 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 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 financial statements from its commercial loan customers, and periodically reviews the condition and value of the collateral securing the loans. Although management believes that the allowance for credit 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. 13 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) LIABILITIES During the six months ended June 30, 2004, total deposits increased $54.9 million to $310.3 million. The increase in deposits was attributable to increases in certificates of deposit and savings accounts of $43.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Growth was also supplemented by small increases in demand, money market and NOW accounts of $3.9 million. The growth in certificates of deposit was aided by increases of $17.2 million in local municipal deposits and $28.0 million of brokered deposits and internet based certificates of deposit. At June 30, 2004 the Corporation had $77.9 million in local municipal deposits, $44.2 million in brokered certificates of deposit and $30.4 million in internet certificates of deposit. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below. The Corporation has been utilizing Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances to better match against interest rate risk as described below. Short term borrowings at June 30, 2004 consisted of short term FHLB advances of $24.0 million and securities sold with an agreement to repurchase them the following day of $8.3 million. Following are details of our short term borrowings for the dates indicated: June 30, December 31, 2004 2003 -------- ------------ (Dollars in thousands) Amount outstanding at end of period $32,276 $31,836 Weighted average interest rate on ending balance 1.49% 1.39% Maximum amount outstanding at any month end during the period $32,276 $38,106 In June 2001, the Corporation started to borrow long-term advances from the FHLB to fund fixed rate instruments and to minimize the interest rate risk associated with certain fixed rate commercial mortgage loans and investment securities. These advances are secured under a blanket security agreement by first mortgage loans and the pledging of certain securities. FHLB advances outstanding at June 30, 2004 were as follows: Ending Average rate Balance at end of period ------- ---------------- (Dollars in thousands) Short-term FHLB advances $24,000 1.75% Long-term FHLB advances 36,374 3.99% ------- ---- $60,374 3.10% Long-term advances were comprised twenty-two advances with maturities ranging from September 2005 to December 2012. 14 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The liquidity of a bank allows it to provide funds to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits, and to take advantage of other investment opportunities. Funding of loan requests, providing for liability outflows, and managing interest rate margins require continuous analysis to match the maturities of specific categories of loans and investments with specific types of deposits and borrowings. Bank liquidity depends upon the mix of the banking institution's potential sources and uses of funds. The major sources of liquidity for the Bank have been deposit growth, federal funds sold, loans and securities which mature within one year, and sales of residential mortgage loans. Additional liquidity is provided by $22.5 million in available unsecured federal funds borrowing facilities, and a $75.0 million secured line of credit with the FHLB. Large deposit balances which might fluctuate in response to interest rate changes are closely monitored. These deposits consist mainly of jumbo time certificates of deposit. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our future commitments. As of June 30, 2004, unused commitments comprised $74.8 million. The Bank has $156.3 million in time deposits coming due within the next twelve months from June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2004, the Bank had $44.2 million in brokered certificates of deposit, of which $26.8 million is due within one year or less. Additionally, at June 30, 2004, municipal time deposits and internet time deposits were $77.9 million and $30.4 million, respectively. Municipal time deposits typically have maturities less than three months. $14.1 million of internet certificates of deposit mature in one year or less. On May 18, 2004, the Corporation's Board of Directors declared the Corporation's tenth consecutive quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share, payable July 1, 2004, to shareholders of record June 1, 2004. Following are selected capital ratios for the Corporation and the Bank as of the dates indicated, along with the minimum regulatory capital requirement for each item.

This increase was primarily attributable to an expanded interest earning asset base, which was aided by an increased net interest margin. The net interest margin was positively impacted by the growth in the loan portfolio versus a stable cost of liability funding. During most of 2002 and 2003, the margin was negatively affected by refinancing and the removal of interest rate floors on loans from competitive pressures. The Corporation continues to utilize advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank to control interest rate risk when funding longer term fixed rate loans and investments. The net interest margin increased for the second quarter 2004 to 3.18% compared with 2.96% for the second quarter of 2003. The net interest margin for the second quarter 2004 on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.25% compared to the second quarter of 2003 at 3.03%. Net interest income for six months ended June 30, 2004 increased by 31.6%, or $1.4 million, over the first six months of 2003. Again, this increase was attributable to an expanded interest earning asset base and an increased net interest margin. The net interest margin, measured on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 3.22%, compared with 3.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was favorably impacted by the same reasons as mentioned above for the second quarter of 2004. 16 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) The following table shows the dollar amount of changes in net interest income for each major category of interest earning asset and interest bearing liability, and the amount of change attributable to changes in average balances (volume) or average rates for the periods shown.

The larger provision was made in part, to adequately cover the charge offs of $1.9 million detailed on page 12. Of the loans charged off $503,000 had been assigned a specific allowance. The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $1.6 million, an increase of $1.5 million from the comparable period of 2003. The larger provision for the first six months was attributable to events in the second quarter mentioned above. NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income decreased by $992,000, or 36.4%, for the second quarter of 2004 versus the second quarter of 2003. The largest component of noninterest income is mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income decreased $854,000, or 36.7%, to $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The decrease in mortgage originations and the corresponding level of gains on the sales of mortgages has been affected by the nationwide decrease in mortgage refinancing. Service charge income during the second quarter of 2004 was $70,000, an increase of $14,000 or a 25.0% increase over the second quarter of 2003. The increase in service charge income was due to the addition of the Rochester branch in the fourth quarter of 2003, coupled with selected increases in the fees assessed to customers on checking and other applicable deposit accounts. Net security (losses) of $17,000 was the result of security restructuring activity. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased $909,000, or 21.4% compared to the first six months of 2003. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in mortgage banking income of $878,000, or 24.3% for these same reasons detailed above. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2004 was $3.1 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from the second quarter of 2003, or 24.9%. Salaries, benefits, and payroll taxes for the second quarter of 2004 were $2.0 million, which was a decrease of $729,000 compared to the second quarter of 2003. Salaries, benefits and payroll taxes related to the Mortgage Company decreased $894,000 when comparing the second quarter of 2004 compared to 2003. The decrease in expense was directly related to the decrease in mortgage banking income noted above in noninterest income. This decrease was the largest factor attributable to the overall decrease in noninterest expense. Salaries and benefits from the operations of the Rochester Branch, coupled with general merit increases for the overall organization comprised the remainder of the net change in overall salaries and benefit expense. Total premises and fixed asset expense of $377,000 for the second quarter of 2004, increased $75,000, or 24.8% due to the Rochester Hill branch operations representing $45,000, or 60% of the relative increase, with the remainder of increase in overall premises expense attributable to property taxes and other premises related to cost of operations. Other operating expenses of $807,000 for the second quarter of 2004, decreased $384,000, or 32.2% from decreases in costs attributable to areas such as data processing, advertising, business development and promotional items. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased $447,000, or 6.3%. This was due to decreases in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes of $731,000, or 16.1%. The decreases in salaries, benefits and payroll taxes were primarily due to the Mortgage Company operations and an offset to the corresponding decrease in mortgage banking income. Premises and fixed asset expense and other operating expense increased for the comparable six month period $148,000 and $146,000, respectively. This was due primarily to the Rochester Hills branch operations. 20 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Corporation's Asset Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), which meets at least quarterly, is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of the Corporation and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. The Corporation currently utilizes two quantitative tools to measure and monitor interest rate risk: static gap analysis and net interest income simulation modeling. Each of these interest rate risk measurements has limitations, but management believes when these tools are evaluated together, they provide a balanced view of the exposure the Corporation has to interest rate risk. Static gap analysis measures the difference between the assets and liabilities repricing or maturing within specific time periods. An asset-sensitive position indicates that there are more rate-sensitive assets than rate-sensitive liabilities repricing or maturing within specific time periods, which would generally imply a favorable impact on net interest income in periods of rising interest rates and a negative impact in periods of falling rates. A liability-sensitive position would generally imply a negative impact on net interest income in periods of rising rates and a positive impact in periods of falling rates. Static gap analysis has limitations because it cannot measure precisely the effect of interest rate movements and competitive pressures on the repricing and maturity characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, a significant portion of our adjustable-rate assets have limits on their maximum yield, whereas most of our interest-bearing liabilities are not subject to these limitations. As a result, certain assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within a stated period may in fact reprice at different times and at different volumes, and certain adjustable-rate assets may reach their yield limits and not reprice. 21 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) The following table presents an analysis of our interest-sensitivity static gap position at June 30, 2004. All interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are shown based on the earlier of their contractual maturity or repricing dated adjusted by forecasted repayment and decay rates. Asset prepayment and liability decay rates are selected after considering the current rate environment, industry prepayment and decay rates and our historical experience. At June 30, 2004, the Corporation is considered asset sensitive in the time interval of the first three months. The Corporation is also considered to be slightly liability sensitive at the one year accumulated gap position.

The use of simulation models to assess interest rate risk is an accepted industry practice, and the results of the analysis are useful in assessing the vulnerability of the Bank's net interest income to changes in interest rates. However, the assumptions used in the model are oversimplifications and not necessarily representative of the actual impact of interest rate changes. The simulation model assesses the direction and magnitude of variations in net interest income resulting from potential changes in market interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment speeds of various loan and investment assets; cash flows and maturities of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, and changes in market conditions impacting loan and deposit volumes and pricing. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and subject to fluctuation and revision in a dynamic environment. Therefore, the model cannot precisely estimate future net interest income or exactly predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, management's pricing decisions, and customer reactions to those decisions, among other factors. On a quarterly basis, the net interest income simulation model is used to quantify the effects of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the Bank's net interest income over a projected twelve-month period. The model permits 22 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) management to evaluate the effects of shifts in the Treasury Yield curve, upward and downward, on net interest income expected in a stable interest rate environment. As of March 31, 2004, the most recent and available analysis, the simulation model projects net interest income would remain relatively unchanged decreasing one-half of one percent, or 0.5% of the base net interest income, assuming an instanteous parallel shift upward in the yield curve by 200 basis points. Conversely, if the yield curve were to decrease by 200 basis points, the model projects net interest income would increase by 1.9%. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES An evaluation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act")) as of June 30, 2004, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Corporation's senior management. The Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the report it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Corporation's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a -- 15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material non-financial information concerning the Corporation's business. While the Corporation believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Corporation to modify its disclosures and procedures. 23 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) PART II ITEM 1.

Attendance of a shareholder at a meeting shall constitute both (a) a waiver of notice or defective notice except when the shareholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to holding the meeting or transacting any business because the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened, and (b) a waiver of objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, except when the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented. SECTION 5. SHAREHOLDER LIST. The officer or agent who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting, arranged by class or series of shares in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder. The list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting and may be inspected at any time during the meeting by any shareholder who is present at the meeting. SECTION 6. QUORUM. Unless a greater or lesser quorum is provided in the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes at a meeting constitute a quorum at the meeting. Except when the holders of a class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately on an item of business, shares of all classes and series entitled to vote shall be combined as a single class and series for the purpose of determining a quorum. When the holders of a class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately on an item of business, shares of that class or series entitled to cast a majority of the votes of that class or series at a meeting constitute a quorum of that class or series at the meeting unless a greater or lesser quorum is provided in the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws. If there is no quorum, the officer of the corporation presiding as chairman of the meeting shall have the 27 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present, when any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as first convened had there been a quorum. However, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, notice of the time, place and purposes of such meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the new record date. Once a quorum is determined to be present, the shareholders present in person or by proxy at such meeting may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. If a meeting is adjourned solely for the purpose of receiving the results of voting by shareholders, such meeting need not be reconvened. If not reconvened, such meeting shall stand adjourned pending submission of the results of voting to the Secretary of the corporation, whereupon such meeting shall stand adjourned until the next regular or special meeting of shareholders. SECTION 7. VOTE REQUIRED. When a quorum is present at a meeting, any action to be taken by a vote of the shareholders, other than the election of directors, shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote on the action, unless a greater vote is required by the Articles of Incorporation or express provision of statute. Except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at an election. SECTION 8. VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors creating any class of stock, each shareholder shall at every meeting of the shareholders he entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such shareholder. Each proxy to vote shall be in writing and signed by the shareholder or his or her duly authorized representative, and no proxy shall be voted after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. SECTION 9. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. Meetings of shareholders generally shall follow accepted rules of parliamentary procedure, subject to the following: (a) The chairman of the meeting shall have absolute authority over matters of procedure, and there shall be no appeal from the ruling of the chairman. If, in his or her absolute discretion, the chairman deems it advisable to dispense with the rules of parliamentary procedure as to any meeting of shareholders or part thereof, he or she shall so state and shall clearly state the rules under which the meeting or appropriate part thereof shall be conducted. (b) If disorder should arise which, in the absolute discretion of the chairman, prevents the continuation of the legitimate business of the meeting, the chairman may quit the chair and announce the adjournment of the meeting, and upon his or her so doing, the meeting is immediately adjourned without the necessity of any vote or further action of the shareholders. (c) The chairman may require any person who is not a bona fide shareholder of record on the record date, or a validly appointed proxy of such a shareholder, to leave the meeting. (d) The chairman may introduce nominations, resolutions or motions submitted by the Board of Directors for consideration by the shareholders without a motion or second. Except as the chairman shall direct, a resolution or motion not submitted by the Board of Directors shall be considered for a vote only if proposed by a shareholder of record on the record date or a validly appointed proxy of such a shareholder, and seconded by such a shareholder or proxy other than the individual who proposed the resolution or motion. (e) Except as the chairman shall direct, no matter may be presented to the meeting which has not been submitted in writing to the Secretary for inclusion in the agenda at least 10 days before the date of the meeting. (f) When all shareholders present at a meeting in person or by proxy have been offered an opportunity to vote on any matter properly before a meeting, the chairman may at his or her discretion declare the polls to be closed, and no further votes may be cast or changed after such declaration. If no 28 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) such declaration is made by the chairman, the polls shall remain open and shareholders may cast additional votes or change votes until the inspectors of election have delivered their final report to the chairman. (g) When the chairman has declared the polls to be closed on all matters then before a meeting, the chairman may declare the meeting to be adjourned pending determination of the results by the inspectors of election. In such event, the meeting shall be considered adjourned for all purposes, and the business of the meeting shall be finally concluded upon delivery of the final report of the inspectors of election to the chairman at or after the meeting. (h) When the chairman determines that no further matters may properly come before a meeting, he or she may declare the meeting to be adjourned, without motion, second, or vote of the shareholders. (i) When the chairman has declared a meeting to be adjourned, unless the chairman has declared the meeting to be adjourned until a later date, no further business may properly he considered at the meeting even though shareholders or holders of proxies representing a quorum may remain at the site of the meeting. SECTION 10. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. The Board of Directors or, if they shall not have so acted, the Chairman of the Board, may appoint at or prior to any meeting of shareholders one or more persons (who may be directors or employees of the corporation) to serve as inspectors of election. The inspectors so appointed shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes or ballots, hear and determine challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate votes or ballots, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. SECTION 11. VOTING. When any vote is taken by written ballot at any meeting of shareholders, an unrevoked proxy submitted in accordance with its terms shall be accepted in lieu of, and shall be deemed to constitute, a written ballot marked as specified in such proxy. ARTICLE III RECORD DATE SECTION 1. FIXING OF RECORD DATE BY BOARD. For the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent from any corporate action in writing without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the distribution or allotment of any rights or evidences of interests arising out of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purpose of any other action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of any such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the effectuation of any other action proposed to be taken. Only shareholders of record on a record date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, such meeting or to receive payment of any dividend or the distribution or allotment of any rights or evidences of interests arising out of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock. SECTION 2. PROVISION FOR RECORD DATE IN THE ABSENCE OF BOARD ACTION. If a record date is not fixed by the Board of Directors: (a) the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if no notice is given, the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (b) the record date for determining shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing, without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed; and (c) the record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the Board relating thereto is adopted. 29 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) SECTION 3.

ARTICLE VIII INDEMNIFICATION SECTION 1. INDEMNIFICATION OTHER THAN IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION. Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or, while serving as such a director or officer, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, shall be indemnified by the corporation against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, penalties, fees and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of non contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Persons who are not directors or officers of the corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of such service to the extent authorized at any time by the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided by statute or the Articles of Incorporation. SECTION 2. INDEMNIFICATION IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION. Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or, while serving as such a director or officer, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, shall be indemnified by the corporation against expenses (including attorneys fees) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably 33 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders. Indemnification shall not be made for any claim, issue or matter in which such person has been found liable to the corporation except to the extent authorized in Section 6 of this Article. Persons who are not directors or officers of the corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of such service to the extent authorized at any time by the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided by statute or the Articles of Incorporation. SECTION 3. EXPENSES. To the extent that a director or officer, or other person whose indemnification is authorized by the Board of Directors, has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 or 2 of this Article, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith and any action, suit or proceeding brought to enforce the mandatory indemnification provided in this Section. SECTION 4. AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION. Any indemnification under Section 1 or 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article and upon an evaluation of the reasonableness of expenses and amounts paid in settlement. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties or threatened to be made parties to such action, suit or proceeding; (b) by independent legal counsel (who may be the regular counsel of the corporation) in a written opinion, which counsel shall be selected as provided in (a) above, provided that if a committee cannot be designated as provided in (a) above, then the Board shall select such independent counsel; (c) by all Independent Directors (as that term is defined in the Michigan Business Corporation Act) who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to such action, suit or proceeding; or (d) by the shareholders, but shares held by directors, officers, employees or agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to such action, suit or proceeding may not be voted. In designating a committee under (a) above, or in the selection of independent legal counsel in the event a committee cannot be designated pursuant to (b) above, all directors may participate. The corporation may indemnify a person for a portion of expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), judgments, penalties, fees and amounts paid in settlement for which the person is entitled to indemnification under Section 1 or 2 of this Article, even though the person is not entitled to indemnification for the total amount of such expenses, judgments, penalties, fees and amounts paid in settlement. SECTION 5. ADVANCING OF EXPENSES. Expenses incurred by any person who is or was serving as a director or officer of the corporation or a subsidiary in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding described in Section 1 or 2 of this Article shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding if (a) the person furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this Article; (b) the person furnishes the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on his or her behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the applicable standard of conduct; and (c) a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under the Michigan Business Corporation Act. Persons who are or were not serving as a director or officer of the corporation or a subsidiary may receive similar advances of expenses to the extent authorized at any time by the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided by statute or the Articles of Incorporation. Determinations under this Section shall be made in the manner specified in Section 4 of this Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any advance be made in instances where the Board or independent legal counsel reasonably determines that such person deliberately breached his or her duty to the corporation or its shareholders. SECTION 6. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION UPON APPLICATION; PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION. A director, officer or other person who is a party or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court may order indemnification if it determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not he or she met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this Article or was adjudged liable as described in Section 2 of this Article, 34 COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION FORM 10-QSB (continued) provided, however, that if he or she was adjudged liable, his or her indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred. SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION UNDER BYLAWS NOT EXCLUSIVE. The indemnification or advancement of expenses provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The total amount of expenses advanced or indemnified from all sources shall not exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred by the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses. All rights to indemnification under this Article shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the corporation and the director, officer, employee or agent who serves in such capacity at any time while these bylaws and other relevant provisions of the general corporation law and other applicable law, if any, are in effect. Any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing. SECTION 8. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article. SECTION 9. MERGERS. For the purposes of this Article, references to the "corporation" include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger, as well as the resulting or surviving corporation, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as if he or she had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity. SECTION 10. SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this Article or any portion thereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director, officer or other person whose indemnification is authorized by the board of directors as to expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fees and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including a grand jury proceeding and an action by the corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated or by any other applicable law. ARTICLE IX SUBSIDIARIES SECTION 1. SUBSIDIARIES. The Board of Directors or any officer designated by the Board of Directors may vote the shares of stock owned by the corporation in any subsidiary, whether wholly or partly owned by the corporation, in such manner as the Board of Directors or such officer deems in the best interests of the corporation, including, without limitation, for the election of directors of any subsidiary corporation, or for any amendments to the charter or bylaws of any such subsidiary corporation, or for the liquidation, merger or sale of assets of any such subsidiary corporation.
