Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Plan Administrator of
Mercantile Bank of Michigan 401(k) Plan
Grand Rapids, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Mercantile Bank of Michigan 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2011 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Mercantile Bank of Michigan 401 (k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Plan Description
The following description of Mercantile Bank of Michigan 401(k) Plan (Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Agreement or Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General
The Plan was established by the Plan Sponsor, Mercantile Bank of Michigan (Bank), effective January 1, 1998. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees who have completed a minimum of one hour of service. Eligible employees can enter the Plan on the first day of the fiscal quarter following date of hire. The Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Contributions
Elective deferrals by participants under the Plan provisions are based on a percentage of their compensation, subject to certain limitations as defined by the Plan Agreement. Participants may also roll over account balances from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans into their account. Effective January 1, 2008, participants may elect to make Roth deferral contributions.
The Bank may contribute additional amounts at the discretion of the Bank’s Board of Directors in the form of a matching contribution, which is a percentage of the participant’s elective contribution for the year. Prior to March 27, 2009, the Bank made matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 5% of compensation deferred by each participant, subject to certain limitations as specified in the Plan Agreement.
Effective March 27, 2009, the Bank suspended the employer matching contributions. The Bank reinstated employer matching contributions beginning with the May 6, 2011 payroll period.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, allocations of the Bank’s matching contribution and Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account. Participants may direct the investment of their account balances into various investment options offered by the Plan.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their elective deferrals and employer contributions and earnings thereon.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. The notes are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at rates that are commensurate with local borrowing rates. Interest rates on notes receivable as of December 31, 2010 ranged from 3.25% to 7.75%.
6
Mercantile Bank of Michigan 401 (k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions over a period not to exceed five years, unless the notes were used to purchase a primary residence, in which case the note terms shall not exceed ten years.
Payment of Benefits
Upon separation of service, death, disability or retirement, a participant or his or her beneficiary will receive a distribution of the participant’s account as a lump-sum amount. A participant may receive the portion of his or her account invested in Mercantile Bank Corporation common stock in either common shares or cash. Additionally, under certain circumstances of financial hardship, participants are allowed to withdraw funds from the Plan.
Administrative Expenses
Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the Plan Sponsor. Certain fees incurred as a result of participant-directed transactions (e.g., participant loan origination and distribution fees) are charged directly to the participant’s account.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately 27.8% and 21.7%, respectively, of the Plan’s assets were invested in Mercantile Bank Corporation common stock. A significant decline in the market value of the common stock would significantly affect the net assets available for benefits.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.
7
Mercantile Bank of Michigan 401 (k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
Notes Receivable - Participant Loans
Participant loans are classified as notes receivable from participants, and are measured at the unpaid principal balance plus unpaid accrued interest. Defaulted loans, if any, are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan Document.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This standard requires new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 recurring fair value measurements. The standard also requires disclosure of activities, on a gross basis, including purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value recurring measurements. The standard clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures regarding Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and clarification of existing disclosures became effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements. The disclosures regarding the reconciliation of information in Level 3 recurring fair value measurements became effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and, if applicable, are included in the fair value disclosures in Note 3.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to provide a consistent definition of fair value and improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Plan management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2011-04 will have on the Plan’s financial statements.

3. Investments
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Plan utilizes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The following valuation methodologies were used to measure the fair value of the Plan’s investments. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Money market and mutual funds - Valued at quoted market prices in an exchange and active market, which represent the net asset values (NAV) of shares held by the Plan.
Mercantile Bank Corporation common stock - Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the security is traded.
Common/collective trust (CCT): The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the CCT is based on audited information reported by the issuer, The Union Bond & Trust Company (Union). Union determines fair value based on the underlying investments (primarily conventional, synthetic and separate account investment contracts, and cash equivalents). Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value, with an adjustment to contract value in the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The contract value of the CCT represents contributions plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. There is no restriction in place with respect to the daily redemption of the CCT at this time.
The Plan’s valuation methods may result in a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Although Plan management believes the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with the market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

4. Related Party Transactions
Parties-in-interest are defined under Department of Labor (DOL) regulations as any fiduciary of the Plan, any party rendering service to the Plan, the employer and certain other parties. Professional fees for the administration and audit of the Plan are paid by the Bank.
Certain Plan investments are managed by Charles Schwab Trust Company (Schwab) and Union Bond and Trust Company (Union). Schwab and Union are custodians as defined by the Plan; therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
The 367,732 and 353,801 shares of Mercantile Bank Corporation common stock held by the Plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, represent approximately 4.27% and 4.10% of the Corporation’s outstanding shares as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Cash dividends of $3,786 were paid to the Plan by Mercantile Bank Corporation during 2010. There were no cash dividends paid in 2011.

5. Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Bank has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA.
6. Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Bank by a letter dated August 20, 2010 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter; however the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. The related trust, therefore, is not subject to tax under present tax law.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011 there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there currently are no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.
