                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been  included.  Operating  results for the six month period ended June 30,
1998 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial  statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's annual
report for the year ended December 31, 1997.


NOTE 2 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

     On May 7, 1998,  the Board of  Directors  declared  a 2-for-1  split of the
Corporation's  common  stock  to be  effected  on July 1,  1998  by  means  of a
one-for-one  stock dividend to  shareholders  of record on June 1, 1998. The par
value of the common  stock  remained at $1 per share.  As a result,  $1,000,000,
representing the total par value of the new shares issued,  has been transferred
from retained  earnings to common  stock.  All  references  in the  consolidated
financial  statements to amounts per share and to the number of shares have been
restated to give retroactive effect to the stock split.


NOTE 3 COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The net income per share amounts are based on the weighted  average  number
of common shares  outstanding.  The weighted number of common shares outstanding
were 2,000,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 and 2,012,348 shares
for the same  period in 1997,  as  adjusted  for the effect of the common  stock
split effected in the form of a dividend.


NOTE 4  ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 130

     The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,  on January 1, 1998.  The  Statement
establishes standards for reporting and displaying  comprehensive income and its
components. SFAS No. 130 requires that all components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial  statement that is displayed with the same prominence as
other financial statements.  For the Corporation,  comprehensive income includes
net income  and  changes in  unrealized  gains and losses on  available-for-sale
securities.

     The following is  management's  discussion and analysis of the factors that
influenced O.A.K. Financial Corporation's financial performance.  The discussion
should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 1997 annual report and with
the unaudited interim financial statements and notes.

over the same period in 1997. Net income for the six month period ended June 30,
1998 was $2,593,534, compared to $2,207,222 for the same period in 1997. This is

(1)  Non-accruing loans are not significant  during the periods  indicated,  and
     for purposes of the  computations  above, are included in the average daily
     loan balances.

(2)  Interest on loans includes net  origination  fees for the six months ending
     June 30, 1998 of $84,758 and $129,470 in 1997.


     Net interest income is the principal  source of income for the Corporation.
Tax  equivalent  net interest  income  increased  $368,000 to $3,106,000 for the
three month period ended June 30, 1998, a 13.44%  increase  from the same period
in 1997. The major factors for the increase in net interest income for the three
months  ended  June  30,  1998  were  non-interest   bearing  deposits  averaged
$6,641,000 higher in 1998 than in the same period in 1997 and the loan portfolio
balance  averaged  $32,088,000  higher in 1998 compared to 1997.  Earning assets
averaged  $31,563,000,  14.89% higher for the three month period ending June 30,
1998 compared to 1997; this volume change resulted in an additional  $738,000 in
fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") interest income. The asset growth for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 was primarily funded by a 9.68%,  $8,749,000 increase
in time  deposits  and a  $6,205,000  increase  in other  borrowed  money  and a
$6,641,000 increase in non-interest bearing deposits. For the three months ended
June 30, 1998 the average FTE  interest  rate earned on assets  decreased  .10%,
decreasing FTE interest income by $107,000. The major factor of the decrease was
lower yields on the  investment  portfolio and the loan  portfolio.  The average
interest rate paid on deposits,  fed funds  purchased and other  borrowed  money
decreased  .02%,  decreasing  interest  expense by $24,000.  The net  difference
between  interest  rates  earned  and paid was a  $368,000  increase  in FTE net
interest income.

     For the three months ended June 30, 1998 the net interest  yield  decreased
 .09% versus the same period in 1997.  Management expects this trend to continue.
The  Corporation  is benefiting  from current  mergers and  acquisitions  in its
market area which have caused customers of acquired organizations to leave these
organizations  and open new lower interest  bearing  accounts with the Bank. For
the six month period ending June 30, 1998, tax  equivalent  net interest  income
increased  $572,000 to  $5,971,000,  a 10.59%  increase  from the same period in
1997.  The major  factors for the  increase in net  interest  income for the six
months  ended  June  30,  1998,  were  noninterest   bearing  deposits  averaged
$5,365,000 higher in 1998 than in the same period in 1997 and the loan portfolio
balance  averaged  $29,448,000  higher in 1998 compared to 1997.  Earning assets
averaged  $29,448,000,  14.07%.  For the six  months  ended June 30,  1998,  the
average  FTE  interest  rate earned on assets  decreased  .08%,  decreasing  FTE
interest  income by $191,000 while the average rate paid on deposits,  fed funds
purchased and other borrowed money increased .10%,  increasing  interest expense
by $21,000. The difference between interest rates earned and paid was a $572,000
increase in FTE net interest  income.  The net interest yield decreased .16% for
the six month period ending June 30, 1998 versus the same period in 1997.

     Net interest  income is the difference  between  interest  earned on loans,
securities,  and other earning assets and interest paid on deposits and borrowed
funds.  In Table 2 and Table 3 the interest  earned on investments  and loans is
expressed on a fully taxable  equivalent  ("FTE") basis.  Tax exempt interest is
increased to an amount comparable to interest subject to federal income taxes in
order to properly  evaluate the effective  yields earned on earning assets.  The
tax equivalent  adjustment is based on a federal income tax rate of 34%. Table 3
analyzes the reasons for the  increases  and  decreases  in interest  income and
expense. The change in interest due to changes in both balance and rate has been
allocated to change due to balance and change due to rate in  proportion  to the
relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

Noninterest Income

     Noninterest income consists of service charges on deposit accounts, service
fees, gains on investment  securities available for sale and gains from sales of
Federal Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  (Freddie Mac) loans.  The  Corporation
retains  the  servicing  rights of these  loans.  Noninterest  income  increased
$163,000 or 38% for the three month period ending June 30, 1998 versus 1997. The
increase  was due  primarily  to a  $223,000  increase  in gains on real  estate
mortgage loan sales, and a $53,000 decrease on other income.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1998,  noninterest income increased  $442,000,  59%. The increase
was due primarily to a $538,000  increase in gains in real estate  mortgage loan
sales, and a $58,000 decrease in gains in securities available-for-sale.

Noninterest Expense

     Noninterest expense increased $280,000 or 18.87% for the three month period
ending June 30, 1998 versus 1997.  The major  factors were a $199,000  increase,
24.06% in salaries  and  employee  benefits  and a $54,000  increase,  25.59% in
occupancy  expense and a $46,000  increase,164.29%  in stationery,  supplies and
printing  expense.  The increase in salary and occupancy  expenses are primarily
related to two new  branches,  one in  Zeeland,  Michigan  and one in  Hamilton,
Michigan.  The  increase  in  supplies  and  printing  expense  was a result  of
additional forms and supplies

                                       13

needed for the Bank and for the new  branches.  For the six month  period  ended
June 30, 1998,  noninterest expense increased $362,000 to $3,120,000 or a 13.12%
increase,  principally  due to salaries  and  employee  benefits  expense  which
increased  $203,000  to  $1,716,000  a 13.42%  increase.  The other  noninterest
expenses were relatively constant for the three month period ended June 30, 1998
versus 1997.

$16,996,000,  a 10.21% increase and an increase in cash and cash  equivalents of
$4,878,000,  a  90.87%  increase.  Deposits  increased  $14,401,000,   7.80%  to
$199,102,000.  Non-interest  bearing deposits increased  $1,262,000 and interest
bearing  deposits  increased  $13,139,000.  The Corporation  expects deposits to
increase  throughout  the  remainder  of  the  year.  Borrowed  funds  increased
$700,000.


LIQUIDITY

     Management  evaluates  the  Corporation's  liquidity  position on a regular
basis to assure that funds are available to meet  borrower and depositor  needs,
fund  operations,  pay cash  dividends  and to invest  excess  funds to maximize
income.   The   Corporation's   sources  of  liquidity  include  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  investment  securities  available  for  sale,  principal  payments
received on loans,  Federal funds purchased,  FHLB borrowings,  deposits and the
issuance of common stock.

     Cash and cash equivalents equaled 3.90% of total assets as of June 30, 1998
versus 2.21% as of December 31, 1997.  For the six month period  ending June 30,
1998,  $934,000 in net cash was provided from operations,  investing  activities
used $12,438,000, and financing activities provided $16,382,000. The accumulated
effect of the Corporation's operating,  investing and financing activities was a
$4,878,000  increase in cash and cash  equivalents  during the six month  period
ending June 31, 1998.

     The Corporation's liquidity is considered adequate by management.

Year 2000 Issue

     Because many computerized systems use only two digits to record the year in
date fields (for example, the year 1998 is recorded as 98), such systems may not
be able to  accurately  process  dates  ending in the year 2000 and  after.  The
effects of the issue will vary from  system to system and may  adversely  affect
the ability of a financial  institution's  operations  as well as its ability to
prepare  financial   statements  and  to  collect  loans  from  customers  whose
operations are negatively  affected by year 2000 issue.  The  Corporation has an
internal task force to assess year 2000  compliance by the  Corporation  and its
vendors.  In  addition,  the Bank  asks  commercial  borrowers  about  year 2000
compliance as part of the loan  application and review process.  Management does
not anticipate that the Corporation will incur material operating expenses or be
required  to invest  heavily in  computer  system  improvements  to be year 2000
compliant.  Nevertheless,  the  inability  of the  Corporation  to  successfully
address all year 2000 issues could result in interruptions in the  Corporation's
business  and have a material  adverse  effect on the  Corporation's  results of
operations.


Forward Looking Statements

     This report contains certain forward-looking  statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended.  The  Corporation  intends  such
forward-looking  statements  to be covered  by the safe  harbor  provisions  for
forward-looking  statements  contained in the Private  Securities  Reform Act of
1995,  and is  including  this  statement  for  purposes  of these  safe  harbor
provisions.  Forward-looking statements,  which are based on certain assumptions
and describe future plans,  strategies and expectations of the Corporation,  are
generally  identifiable  by use  of the  words  "believe,"  "expect,"  "intend,"
"anticipate,"  "estimate,"  "project" or similar expressions.  The Corporation's
ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is
inherently uncertain.  Factors which could have a material adverse affect on the
operations and future prospects of the Corporation and the Bank include, but are
not limited  to,  changes  in:  interest  rates,  general  economic  conditions,
legislative/regulatory  changes,  monetary  and  fiscal  policies  of  the  U.S.
Government,  including  policies of the U.S.  Treasury  and the Federal  Reserve
Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment  portfolios,  demand
for loan products, deposit flows, competition,  demand for financial services in
the Corporation's

                                       16

market area and accounting principles,  policies and guidelines. These risks and
uncertainties should be considered in evaluating  forward-looking statements and
undue  reliance  should not be placed on such  statements.  Further  information
concerning the Corporation and its business,  including  additional factors that
could materially affect the Corporation's  financial results, is included in the
Corporation's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     A derivative financial instrument includes futures, forwards, interest rate
swaps,   option  contracts,   and  other  financial   instruments  with  similar
characteristics.   The  Corporation  currently  does  not  enter  into  futures,
forwards,  swaps,  or options.  However,  the  Corporation is party to financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
the  financing  needs of its  customers.  These  financial  instruments  include
commitments to extend credit and standby  letters of credit.  These  instruments
involve to varying degrees,  elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess
of the amount  recognized in the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  Commitments to
extend  credit  are  agreements  to lend to a  customer  as long as  there is no
violation of any condition  established in the contract.  Commitments  generally
have fixed  expiration  dates and may require  collateral  from the  borrower if
deemed necessary by the  Corporation.  Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer
to a third  party  up to a  stipulated  amount  and  with  specified  terms  and
conditions.  Commitments to extend credit and standby  letters of credit are not
recorded as an asset or liability by the  Corporation  until the  instrument  is
exercised.

     The  Corporation's  exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis.
Interest  rate risk is the potential of economic  losses due to future  interest
rate  changes.  These  economic  losses can be reflected as a loss of future net
interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to
measure the effect on net  interest  income and to adjust the  balance  sheet to
minimize the inherent  risk while at the same time maximize  income.  Management
realizes  certain  risks  are  inherent  and that the  goal is to  identify  and
minimize the risks. Tools used by management include the standard GAP report and
a simulation  model.  The  Corporation  complements its stable core deposit base
with alternate  sources of funds,  which includes advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank and on a very  limited  basis,  jumbo  certificates  of  deposit  from
outside its market  area.  Management  evaluates  the funding  needs and makes a
decision based on current interest rates and terms whether to fund internally or
from alternate  sources.  To date, the  Corporation  has not employed the use of
derivative  financial  instruments  in managing  the risk of changes in interest
rates. The Corporation has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading
purposes. Management considers the Corporation's market risk to be reasonable at
this time.
