1.     We note that commercial real estate ("CRE") loans totaled $564.2 million
and
       represented 41.8% of total loans as of December 31, 2023 and that the
collateral for
       these loans are primarily in mid-Michigan counties. We also note your
disclosure on
       page 53 disaggregating your CRE balance by owner and non-owner occupied,
as well
       as 1-4 family investor and multifamily. Please revise your disclosures,
in future
       filings, to further disaggregate the composition of your owner occupied
and non-
       owner occupied CRE loan portfolio by key borrower type (e.g., by
       office, manufacturing, retail, multifamily, etc.) and to disclose other
relevant
       characteristics (e.g., current weighted average and/or range of
loan-to-value ratios,
       occupancy rates, etc.) material to an investor   s understanding of your

       portfolio.
2.     In addition, we note the statement on page 14 that you continue to
monitor events to
       assure you are    prepared for any changes that might affect the bank,
including the
       ability to timely address economic uncertainty.    We also note the
statement on page
       31 that the frequency and complexity of your liquidity stress testing
has increased
       due to economic uncertainty and changes within the interest rate and
economic
       environment.    Please further revise your disclosures, in future
filings, to describe the
       specific details of the risk management policies, procedures or other
actions
       undertaken by management in response to economic uncertainty and the
current
       environment.
Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2024
Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity,
page 7

3.     Please revise your disclosures, in future filings, to provide interim
statements of
       shareholders' equity for the current and comparative year-to-date
periods, with
       subtotals for each interim period. Refer to Rule 8-03(a)(5) of
Regulation S-X.
Form 8-K filed on October 24, 2024
Exhibit 99.1
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page I

4.     We note your reconciliation of core net income, which excludes $1.6
million of Other
       expense, and the related non-GAAP measures (e.g., core diluted earnings
per share,
       core return on average assets, core return on average shareholders'
equity, core return
       on average tangible shareholders' equity) that are derived from core net
income.
       Please address the following:
           Explain the nature of this Other adjustment being excluded from core
net income
           and clarify if it relates to the $1.6 million provision for credit
losses charge
           relating to overdrawn deposit accounts from a single customer.
           If this adjustment does relate to the exclusion of a portion of the
provision for
           credit losses, provide us with your evaluation of whether this
adjustment
           represents individually tailored recognition and measurement
principles that are
           inconsistent with GAAP and therefore should be removed from
presentation in
           future filings. Refer to Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
           Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.

        In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for
the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments,
action or absence of action by the staff.

       Please contact Jee Yeon Ahn at 202-551-3673 or Robert Klein at
202-551-3847 with
any questions.
