                   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 three month period ended March 31,
1999 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year  ending  December  31,  1999.  For  further   information,   refer  to  the
consolidated   financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in  the
Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31 1998.

     Effective  February 1, 1999,  the  Corporation  issued 28,775 shares of its
common  stock in exchange  for all of the  outstanding  common stock of Dornbush
Insurance  Company,  Inc. (DIA) based on a conversion ratio of .719475 shares of
the Corporation's common stock, for a total value of $1,438,750.  The merger has
been  accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Accordingly,  the  Corporation's
consolidated financial statements have been restated for all period prior to the
business  combination  to  include  the  combined  financial  results  of O.A.K.
Financial  Corporation  and DIA.  DIA's  results  were  immaterial  prior to the
merger.


NOTE 2 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

     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  2,009,056  for the three month period  ending March 31, 1999 and 2,000,000
shares for the same period in 1998.

     In connection  with the  Corporation's  401(k)  savings and  profit-sharing
plan, one-third of the Corporation's  payment into the profit-sharing plan is to
be paid in  O.A.K.  Corporation  common  stock  pursuant  to an  employee  stock
ownership  plan  (ESOP)  established  on January  29,  1999.  On that date,  the
Corporation  loaned  $500,000 to the ESOP to enable the ESOP to purchase  10,000
newly  issued  shares of the  Corporation's  common  stock at a price of $50 per
share. The loan obligation of the ESOP is considered  unearned  employee benefit
expense and, as such, is presented in the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements as a deduction of stockholder's equity.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     O.A.K.  Financial  Corporation (the "Corporation") is a single bank holding
company whose sole subsidiary is Byron Center State Bank (the "Bank").  The Bank
has eleven  banking  offices  serving  eleven  communities  in Kent,  Ottawa and
Allegan  Counties.  Following  the close of  business  on January  31,  1999 the
Corporation  completed the merger of Dornbush  Insurance Company Inc. (DIA) in a
stock for stock transaction. Total assets of DIA were $ 359,873. The transaction
was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly the assets, liabilities
and stockholders' equity as reported by DIA prior to consummation, were combined
with the assets, liabilities and stockholder's equity of the Corporation.  Under
the terms of the merger agreement,  holders of DIA common stock received .719475
shares of O.A.K.  Financial Corporation common stock, par value $1.00 per share,
for each share of DIA common stock resulting in the issuance of 28,775 shares of
the Corporation's common stock.

     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  1998 annual report on Form
10-K and the audited financial statements and notes contained therein.

                   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income  equaled  $1,256,022 for the three months ending March 31, 1999,
compared to $1,419,369  for the same period in 1998.  This is a 11.51%  decrease
over the same period in 1998.  Return on average equity was 12.71% for the three
months ending March 31, 1999 and 15.55% for 1998.  Return on average  assets was
1.68% for the three  months  ending March 31, 1999 and 2.33% for the same period
in 1998.

(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 three months
          ended March 31, 1999 of $48,499 and $38,760 in 1998.

     Net interest income is the principal  source of income for the Corporation.
Tax  equivalent  net interest  income  increased  $596,000 to $3,477,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1999, a 20.69%  increase from the same period
in 1998. The major factors for the increase in net interest income for the three
months  ended  March  31,  1999  were  non-interest  bearing  deposits  averaged
$8,493,000  higher in 1999 than in the same period in 1998,  a 33.71%  increase,
and the loan portfolio balance averaged  $55,732,000  higher in 1999 compared to
1998, a 32.14% increase.  Earning assets averaged  $49,718,000  higher, a 21.25%
increase  from the three month period ending March  31,1998;  this volume change
resulted in an additional  $1,110,000 in FTE interest  income.  The asset growth
for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 was  primarily  funded by a 22.42% (
$14,661,000)  increase in MMDA,  savings and NOW accounts and a 14.28%  increase
($13,685,000) in time deposits,  and a $11,653,000 increase (95.13%) increase in
Fed Funds Purchased,  and a $8,493,000 increase (33.71%) in non-interest bearing
deposits.  For the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 the average FTE  interest
rate  earned  on  assets  decreased  .31%,  decreasing  FTE  interest  income by
$269,000.  The major reason for 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 .48%, decreasing interest
expense by $207,000.  The net difference  between interest rates earned and paid
was a $62,000 decrease in FTE net interest income.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1999 the net interest yield  decreased
 .02% versus the same period in 1998.  Management expects this trend to continue,
the majority of the deposit  growth for the  remainder of 1999 is expected to be
from  time  deposits  which  are a higher  cost of funds  than  savings  and NOW
accounts,  as a result  the FTE net  interest  yield  is  expected  to  decrease
somewhat in the next nine months.

     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

     Non-interest  income  consists  of service  charges  on  deposit  accounts,
service fees,  gains on  investment  securities  available for sale,  gains from
sales of loans to  Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  (Freddie  Mac) and
commissions from insurance  sales. The Corporation  retains the servicing rights
on sold (Freddie Mac) loans.  Noninterest  income increased  $48,000 or 5.6% for
the three month period  ending March 31, 1999 versus 1998.  The increase was due
mainly to a $27,000 increase in service charge fees on deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense

     Non-interest  expense  increased  $790,000  or 50.29%  for the three  month
period  ending  March 31, 1999 versus 1998.  The major  factors for the increase
were a $533,000 increase,  or 64.37%, in salary and employee benefits, a $54,000
increase,  19.22%,  in occupancy and  equipment,  a $36,000  increase,  720%, in
postage  expense,  a $25,000  increase,  53.19%,  in  stationery,  supplies  and
printing  expense.  The majority of these increases are all related to the three
new branch  locations  that were opened in 1998 and the fourth branch opening in
early 1999.  Staffing the new branches and  additional  support at the corporate
office for the new branches and growth from existing  offices were the two major
factors for the salary and employee benefit expense increase.

equivalents,  investment  securities  available  for  sale,  principal  payments
received on loans,  Federal Funds Purchased,  FHLB borrowings,  deposits and the
issuance of common stock.

Impact of Inflation

     The  majority  of assets and  liabilities  of  financial  institutions  are
monetary in nature. Generally, changes in interest rates have a more significant
impact on earnings of the Bank than inflation. Although influenced by inflation,
changes  in rates do not  necessarily  move in  either  the  same  magnitude  or
direction as changes in the price of goods and services.  Inflation  does impact
the growth of total  assets,  creating a need to  increase  equity  capital at a
higher  rate to  maintain  an  adequate  equity to assets  ratio,  which in turn
reduces the amount of earnings available for cash dividends.


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.

     Coorporation  management  has  developed  and the  Board of  Directors  has
approved a  comprehensive  Year 2000  Compliance  Plan. The  Corporation  has an
internal  task force to assess  Year 2000  compliance  by the  Corporation,  its
vendors,  and  major  commercial  loan  customers.  In  addition,  the Bank asks
commercial  borrowers about Year 2000 compliance as part of the loan application
and review process.

     To date,  the  Corporation  has  spent  approximately  $5,000  on Year 2000
compliance and expects to spend an additional $5,000 to complete this work.


     The Corporation  presently  anticipates that it will complete its Year 2000
assessment  and  remediation  by December  31,  1999.  However,  there can be no
assurance that the Corporation  will be successful in implementing its Year 2000
remediation  plan  according  to the  anticipated  schedule.  In  addition,  the
Corporation may be adversely affected by the inability of other businesses whose
systems interact with the Corporation to become Year 2000 compliant.

     Although  the  Corporation  expects  its  internal  systems to be Year 2000
compliant as described  above,  the Corporation is in the process of preparing a
contingency plan that will specify what it plans to do if important  internal or
external systems are not Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner.

     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  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 subsidiaries 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   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 by
the Asset/Liability  Committee.  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 has no market risk
sensitive  instruments  held  for  trading  purposes.  Management  believes  the
Corporation's market risk is reasonable at this time.
