                          O.A.K. FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                   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,
2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year  ending  December  31,  2000.  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, 1999.

     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. (FDIC) based on a conversion ratio of .719475 shares of
the Corporation's common stock, for a total value of $1,438,750.  The merger was
accounted for as a pooling of interests.  DIC's results were immaterial prior to
the merger and,  accordingly,  the Corporation's  financial  statements were not
restated for periods prior to the merger to reflect the  financial  position and
operations of DIC.


NOTE 2 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The net income per share amounts are based on the weighted  average  number
of common  shares  outstanding.  The weighted  average  numbers of common shares
outstanding  were  2,035,339 for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 and
2,009,056 shares for the same period in 1999.

     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 reduction of stockholders'  equity.  During the first quarter of
2000,  1,153  common  shares  with an  average  fair value of $55 per share were
released and  allocated to plan  participants  and,  accordingly,  unearned ESOP
compensation  was  reduced  by the  $57,650  cost  of the  shares  to the  ESOP.
Additional  paid-in  capital  was  credited  for the fair  value  of the  shares
released in excess of their cost to the ESOP.

 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. (DIC) in a
stock for stock transaction.  Total assets of DIC were $359,873. The transaction
was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly the assets, liabilities
and stockholders equity as reported by DIC 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 DIC common stock received .719475
shares of O.A.K.  Financial Corporation common stock, par value $1.00 per share,
for each share of DIC 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  1999 annual report on Form
10-K and the audited financial statements and notes contained therein.

                  THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income  equaled  $993,858  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000,
compared to $1,256,022 for the same period in 1999.  This is a 21% decrease over
the same period in 1999. Return on average equity was 9.61% for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 12.71% for 1999. Return on average assets was 1.04% for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1.68% for the same period in 1999. The
following  discussion  explains  reasons  for  changes in growth  and  financial
performance  for the March 31, 2000 quarter.  Costs reflected in that discussion
are  expected  to  stabilize   while  earning   assets  are  expected  to  grow.
Accordingly,   management  expects  improved  quarterly   comparative  financial
performance during the remainder of the year.

     Net interest income is the principal  source of income for the Corporation.
Tax  equivalent  net interest  income  increased  $671,000 to $4,148,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 2000, a 19% increase  from the same period in
1999.  The major  factors for the increase in net interest  income for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 were that  non-interest  bearing  deposits  averaged
$5,254,000  higher in 2000 than in the same period in 1999, a 16% increase,  and
the loan portfolio balance averaged $69,742,000 higher in 2000 compared to 1999,
a 30% increase.  Earning assets averaged  $80,026,000,  28% higher for the three
month period ended March 31,2000  compared to 1999;  this volume change resulted
in an  additional  $1,703,000 in FTE interest  income.  The asset growth for the
three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 was  primarily  funded by a 22%  increase,
$24,449,000 in time deposits,  and an 88% increase,  or $21,073,000 in Fed Funds
Purchased,  and a 173% increase,  $22,644,000 in other borrowed money.  For  the
three months ended March 31, 2000 the average  fully  taxable  equivalent  (FTE)
interest rate earned on assets increased .11%, increasing FTE interest income by
$107,000.  The major  factor  for the  increase  was  higher  yields on the loan
portfolio.  The average interest rate paid on deposits,  fed funds purchased and
other borrowed money increased .42%,  increasing  interest  expense by $143,000.
The net  difference  between  interest  rates  earned  and paid  was a  $671,000
increase in FTE net interest income.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2000 the net interest yield  decreased
 .38% versus the same period in 1999.  Management expects this trend to continue,
since the majority of the deposit  growth for the  remainder of 2000 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 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,  gains from sales of
loans to Federal Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation  (Freddie Mac) and  commissions
from  insurance  sales  and  brokerage  revenue.  The  Corporation  retains  the
servicing  rights on sold  (Freddie  Mac) loans.  Noninterest  income  decreased
$152,000 or 17% for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 versus 1999. The
decrease  was due to a $263,000  decrease in net gains on loan sales,  resulting
from a less favorable  interest rate environment  which slowed new mortgage loan
business and caused a major  slowdown in the  refinance  business.  In addition,
service charges on deposit accounts increased  $106,000,  a 67% increase for the
three month period ended March 31, 2000 versus 1999.

Noninterest Expense

     Noninterest  expense  increased  $773,000 or 33% for the three month period
ended March 31, 2000 versus  1999.  The major  factors for the  increase  were a
$401,000 increase, or 29%, in salary and employee benefits, a $142,000 increase,
42%, in occupancy and equipment,  a $32,000  increase,  91%, in Michigan  Single
Business tax expense, a $19,000 increase, 26%, in printing and supplies expense.
The majority of these increases are all related to the $89,000,000 asset growth,
29% from March 31, 1999 to March 31,  2000 and the  Kentwood  branch  opening in
February 1999. Staffing the new branch and additional personnel at the corporate
office to  support  the  growth  were the two major  factors  for the salary and
employee benefit expense increase.  The increase in occupancy expense is related
to the building of permanent facilities in Allendale, MI and Hamilton, MI, which
were  completed  in the  3rd and 4th  quarter  1999.  These  two  branches  were
previously located in leased space.

     Nonperforming  assets  are  comprised  of loans for which  the  accrual  of
interest  has been  discontinued,  accruing  loans  90 days or more  past due in
payments,  collateral  for loans which have been  in-substance  foreclosed,  and
other real estate which has been acquired  primarily through  foreclosure and is
awaiting disposition.  Loans, including loans considered impaired under SFAS No.
118, are generally  placed on a nonaccrual  basis when  principal or interest is
past due 90 days or more and when, in the opinion of management, full collection
of principal and interest is unlikely.  Management has been aggressively working
on the  nonperforming  loans,  for the three month  period  ended March 31, 2000
versus 1999, nonperforming assets as a percent of total loans decreased .12%.

     Management has monitored and made changes to  underwriting  requirements in
the indirect consumer loan portfolio. The percentage of net loans charged off to
average loans outstanding  reflects the positive result of the changes.  The net
loans charged off percentage is at peer averages.  Management  believes that the
allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding percentage is adequate.

ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets increased $20,841,000,  or 5.54% to $396,913,000 from December
31, 1999 to March 31, 2000. The most significant change was an increase in loans
of $19,466,000,  a 6.85% increase.  Deposits increased $18,456,000,  or 7.26% to
$272,622,000;  noninterest  bearing deposits  decreased  $1,275,000 and interest
bearing  deposits  increased  $19,731,000.  The  Corporation  expects  loans and
deposits to increase  through-out  the  remainder  of the year.  Borrowed  funds
decreased  $2,326,000  from  December  31,  1999 to March 31,  2000;  management
expects  to be able to fund  the  loan  growth  with  local  core  deposits.  If
additional funding is needed the lowest cost source will be utilized.


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  2.38% of total
assets as of March 31, 2000 versus 2.67% as of December 31, 1999.  For the three
month  period  ended March 31, 2000,  $2,458,000  in net cash was provided  from
operations,  investing  activities used  $22,355,000,  and financing  activities
provided  $19,256,000.  The accumulated  effect of the Corporation's  operating,
investing  and  financing  activities  was a $614,000  decrease in cash and cash
equivalents during the three month period ended March 31, 2000.

     The Corporation's liquidity is considered adequate by management.


CAPITAL

     The capital of the Corporation consists of common stock, additional paid-in
capital and retained earnings reduced by accumulated other  comprehensive  loss.
For the three month  period  ended March 31, 2000  capital  increased  $708,000,
which includes a $350,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

     There are minimum risk based capital  regulatory  guidelines  placed on the
Corporation's  capital by The Federal  Reserve Board.  The following  table sets
forth the percentages  required under the Risk Based Capital  guidelines and the
Corporation's ratios as of March 31, 2000:

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.


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.

                                      -17-
<PAGE>
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.
