                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                March 31, 1998 (unaudited) and December 31, 1997
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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-QSB 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, 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
Company's  Registration  Statement  on Form SB-2  containing  audited  financial
statements  for the  period  from  May 21,  1997  (date of  inception),  through
December 31, 1997.


NOTE 2 COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic  earnings  (loss) per share is based on net income (loss)  divided by
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.


NOTE 3 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Macatawa Bank  Corporation  (the  "Company),  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
Macatawa  Bank  (the  "Bank").   All  significant   intercompany   accounts  and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


NOTE 4 INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     Subsequent  to March 31, 1998,  the Company  completed  its initial  public
offering on April 7, 1998. The Company issued  1,495,000  shares of common stock
in the initial  public  offering,  resulting  in net  proceeds to the Company of
approximately  $14,100,000,  subject to further  adjustment based upon the final
actual expenses incurred.


NOTE 5 COMPARATIVE DATA

     The Company  became the bank holding  company for Macatawa Bank on February
23, 1998, when all of the Bank's outstanding common stock was converted into all
of the  outstanding  stock of the  Company  and all of the  Bank's  shareholders
became all of the Company's shareholders. The Bank had commenced its application
process for regulatory approval on May 21, 1997, completed its common stock sale
on November 7, 1997, and opened for operations on November 25, 1997.  Comparable
statements  of income and cash flows for the three  months ended March 31, 1997,
have not been presented since the Company had not been  incorporated and did not
have operations during that period.

     Macatawa Bank Corporation (the "Company") is a Michigan  corporation and is
the bank holding  company for Macatawa  Bank (the  "Bank").  The Bank  commenced
operations  on November 25,  1997.  The Bank is a Michigan  chartered  bank with
depository  accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation.  The
Bank  provides  a full  range  of  commercial  and  consumer  banking  services,
primarily in the  communities of Holland and Zeeland,  Michigan,  as well as the
surrounding market area primarily located in Ottawa County, Michigan.

     The Company's plan of operation has been to establish its  management  team
within the first few months of its operations.  Management  believes that it has
been successful in  establishing  its management team and that it can administer
the  Company's  growth for the next two to three  years,  with the  addition  of
branch managers,  tellers and other staff personnel at any new branches that are
opened.  Management  believes  that it will hire  approximately  eight full time
equivalent employees for each additional branch that is opened.

     The Company's plan of operation also includes  seeking out and  considering
locations for additional  branches in its market area.  Management believes that
multiple  branches make the Bank more convenient to its customers and assist the
Bank in attracting additional depositors and borrowers.  Management  anticipates
that the  Company  will add three to four  branches  in 1998 in  addition to the
Bank's  existing  Zeeland main office,  Holland  branch  office and Holland loan
processing branch office,  although there can be no assurance that such proposed
branches  will be  added.  The Bank has  purchased  a bank  branch  facility  in
Jenison,   Michigan  for  approximately   $355,000,   and  anticipates  spending
approximately  $440,000  on  leasehold  improvements,  furniture,  fixtures  and
equipment  for that  facility.  In  addition,  the Bank has leased a bank branch
facility  located  in south  Holland,  and  anticipates  spending  approximately
$315,000 on leasehold improvements,  furniture,  fixtures and equipment for that
facility.  The Bank has applied for branch  approval  for the south  Holland and
Jenison  facilities,  and  anticipates  that  these  branches  will be open  for
business within the next three to six months,  assuming receipt of the necessary
regulatory approvals.

     In addition,  the Bank has purchased real estate and has agreed to purchase
an adjacent  parcel  located at the corner of  Washington  and State  Streets in
Zeeland,  Michigan,  where  the Bank  proposes  to build a full  service  branch
office,  subject to the receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals.  The Bank
has also agreed to purchase, for a purchase price of $135,000,  undeveloped real
estate  located at 26 Lakewood  Boulevard in Holland,  Michigan,  where the Bank
proposes to open a branch office, subject to receipt of the necessary zoning and
regulatory  approvals.  The Bank has leased  undeveloped  real estate located at
16th Street and Waverly in Holland, Michigan, where the Bank proposes to build a
full  service  branch  office,  subject to receipt of the  necessary  zoning and
regulatory approvals.

Financial Condition

     Total assets of the Company increased by $23,722,247 or 221% to $34,444,440
at March 31, 1998, from $10,722,193 at December 31, 1997. The increase in assets
is primarily  attributable to the Bank continuing to attract customer  deposits.
The first  quarter of 1998 was the Company's  first full quarter of  operations,
and the number of deposit  accounts  increased from 465 at December 31, 1997, to
3,619 deposit  accounts at March 31, 1998. In addition,  subsequent to March 31,
1998, the Company completed an initial public offering of common stock completed
on April 7, 1998, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately
$14,100,000 and an increase in total assets.  The Company  anticipates  that the
Bank's  assets will continue to increase  during 1998,  which will be the Bank's
first full year of operations.

                                       11

     Cash and cash equivalents, which includes federal funds sold and short-term
investments,  decreased  $2,493,556 or 34% to $4,921,564 at March 31, 1998, from
$7,415,120  at December 31, 1997.  The decrease is the result of the increase in
the investment and loan portfolios since December 31, 1997.

     Securities available for sale increased  $11,944,343 or 597% to $13,944,743
at March 31, 1998 from  $2,000,400  at December  31,  1997.  The increase is the
result of the  investment of customer  deposits  that have been  obtained  since
December 31, 1997.

     The  allowance  for  loan  losses  as  of  March  31,  1998  was  $208,000,
representing  approximately 1.5% of gross loans outstanding,  compared to $7,500
at December 31, 1997.  Macatawa Bank has not experienced any credit losses as of
March 31, 1998.

     Bank premises and equipment  increased by $756,814 or 111% to $1,438,621 at
March 31, 1998 from  $681,807 at December 31, 1997.  The increase  resulted from
the purchase of the real estate for the proposed Zeeland branch office,  as well
as additional  furniture,  fixtures and equipment  necessary to operate the Bank
branches.

     Other assets  increased by $207,607  from $29,991 at December 31, 1997,  to
$237,598  at March  31,  1998.  This  increase  is a result  of  deferred  costs
associated with the Company's  initial public offering of common stock which was
completed on April 7, 1998.

     Deposits increased by $24,171,634 or 891% to $26,883,857 at March 31, 1998,
from  $2,712,223  at December  31, 1997.  This was the result of deposits  being
obtained from new customers of the Bank.

Results of Operations

     The net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, was $525,203.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a retained deficit of $165,525,  and as
of March 31, 1998, the Company had a retained deficit of $690,733.  The retained
deficit and net losses are primarily  the result of provisions  for loan losses,
wages paid to employees,  and fees and expenses  incurred in forming the Company
and  applying  for  regulatory  approval  for the Bank's  existing  and proposed
branches. Management believes that the Company will generate a net loss for 1998
as a result of expenditures  made to build its management team and open its main
office and branch facilities,  together with the time needed to more effectively
utilize  its  capital  and  generate  loan  interest  and fee  income  by making
additional  loans.  Management  believes that the expenditures  made in 1997 and
1998 will create the infrastructure and lay the foundation for future growth and
profitability in subsequent years.

     Interest  income was  $343,477  for the three month  period ended March 31,
1998,  related to  interest  income on  securities  and loans  interest  earning
deposits.  Interest  expense was $138,383 for the three month period ended March
31, 1998 related to interest incurred on interest bearing deposits.

     The Company has an allowance for loan losses of approximately 1.5% of total
loans at March 31,  1998.  The  provision  for loan  losses for the three  month
period ended March 31, 1998 was  $200,500.  This amount was provided as a result
of the  increase in the total loan  portfolio.  Management  believes the current
loan loss reserve is adequate.

     Other  income of $3,441 for the three  month  period  ended  March 31, 1998
consisted of income from deposit service charges and other miscellaneous fees.

     The main components of other expenses were primarily salaries and benefits.
Other  expense for the three  month  period  ended March 31, 1998 was  $240,842,
consisting  primarily of occupancy and equipment expenses,  legal and accounting
fees, marketing expenses, insurance and supplies.

                                       12

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company  obtained its initial equity capital in a private  placement by
the Bank to investors  in  November,  1997.  Subsequent  to March 31, 1998,  the
Company  raised  additional  equity  capital  in  its  initial  public  offering
completed  April 7, 1998.  The  Company's  plan of operation for the next twelve
months does not  contemplate  the need to raise  additional  capital during that
period.  Management believes that its current capital and liquidity will provide
the Company with adequate  capital to support its expected  level of deposit and
loan growth and to otherwise meet its cash and capital requirements for at least
the next two or three years.

Recent Regulatory Developments

     Various  bills have been  introduced  in the Congress that would allow bank
holding companies to engage in a wider range of nonbanking activities, including
greater  authority to engage in securities and insurance  activities.  While the
scope of permissible  nonbanking  activities and the conditions  under which the
new powers  could be  exercised  varies  among the bills,  the  expanded  powers
generally  would be available to a bank holding company only if the bank holding
company and its bank subsidiaries remain well- capitalized and well-managed. The
bills also impose various  restrictions on  transactions  between the depository
institution   subsidiaries   of  bank  holding   companies  and  their  non-bank
affiliates.   These   restrictions   are  intended  to  protect  the  depository
institutions from the risks of the new nonbanking  activities  permitted to such
affiliates.  At this time,  the Company is unable to predict  whether any of the
pending  bills will be enacted and,  therefore,  is unable to predict the impact
such legislation may have on the operations of the Company and the Bank.

DEKOCK  PROPERTIES,  L.L.C., a Michigan limited  liability  company of 400 136th

                                   WITNESSETH:

     1. LEASED PREMISES

     LESSOR, in consideration of the rents and covenants herein specified,  does
hereby let and lease the  premises on which a Building is to be  constructed  on
the Northeast Comer of 16th Street and Waverly  Avenue,  in the City of Holland,
Ottawa County,  Michigan as shown on the attached  Exhibit A. (the  "Premises").
The Premises are a portion of a larger  parcel which may be owned by LESSOR.  In
all events  LESSEE  shall  share the curb cuts on both 16th  Street and  Waverly
Avenue with the adjoining buildings to be constructed on the larger parcel.

     2. PROJECT COSTS.

     LESSOR  and  LESSEE  have  agreed  that the Land  Cost of the  Premises  is
$295,000.00 and that the cost of the building and other improvements,  including
site cost (including the two curb cuts, site engineering,  general  construction
trades,  construction  financing  fees,  interest  and general  conditions),  is
estimated at $530,000.00 on the basis of the information  furnished by LESSEE to
LESSOR.  The LESSOR shall construct the building according to building plans and
specification  provided  by LESSEE to LESSOR  and  attached  as  Exhibit  B. The
building and other improvements will be constructed on a cost plus basis with A.
C.  Geenen   Construction   Company  acting  as  General   Contractor   with  an
administrative  fee of 10%. LESSEE may name  subcontractors  to bid each project
contract  for the  building,  and  LESSOR  shall  have  the  right  to  actively
participate in the construction process. The actual construction budget and bids
shall be approved by LESSOR and LESSEE prior to  commencement  of  construction.

interest  will be  accumulated  and added to the principal  balance  financed by
LESSEE with the first payment to be due and payable at the  commencement  of the
term of the Lease.  It is anticipated  that the permanent  financing shall be on
the basis of a 20 year amortization and term, with interest at the rate of EIGHT
(8%) PERCENT per annum, provided that if the LESSEE shall exercise its Option to
Purchase,  the balance of the loan must be repaid in full at the time of closing

     hereunder shall survive the expiration or termination of the lease term.

option must be  exercised no later than THIRTY (30) days prior to the end of the
THIRD lease year of the term of the Lease.  If LESSEE  elects to  purchase  this

     prohibited uses:

               1) any use not involving the retail sale of goods or services,

               2) any  use  which  would  constitute  an  offensive,  noisy,  or
          dangerous business,

               3) any use which would overload the Premises or which will in any
          manner injure, vibrate or shake said Premises,

               4) any use which  will  increase  the rate of fire  insurance  or
          liability underwriting upon the Premises over that which is applicable
          for its intended use,

               5)  any  use  for  conducting  fire,  bankruptcy,  going  out  of

<PAGE>
               7) any use in violation of the  applicable  Zoning  Ordinances or
          any other  applicable  ordinance of the governing  municipality or the
          applicable   statutes,   regulations   or   ordinances  of  any  other
          governmental unit.

          B. LESSEE agrees that the LESSEE's  business shall be established  and
     conducted in a first-class  manner,  in accordance  with accepted  business
     practices.

          C. LESSEE shall not use,  store,  generate,  treat,  or dispose on the
     Premises any hazardous  substance  (except for normal and customary amounts
     of hazardous  substances  that are used in the operation of a bank) without
     the prior  written  consent  of  LESSOR,  which  consent  may be granted or
     withheld in LESSOR's sole discretion.  For purposes of this paragraph,  the
     term  'hazardous  substance'  means any  substance  the  manufacture,  use,
     treatment,  storage,  transportation,  or disposal of which is regulated by
     any law having as its  object  the  protection  of public  health,  natural
     resources,  or the environment,  including, by way of illustration only and
     not as a  limitation,  the  Resource  Conservation  and  Recovery  Act; the

sublease  during the  remainder of the term of the LEASE and of any renewal term
shall be the rate specified in this agreement,  and all rent shall be payable to
LESSOR.  Provided,  however, that the assignee or sublessee shall at the time of

must contain the following language:

         ___________________  ("Sublessee")  understands  that the Lease between
         GEENEN DEKOCK PROPERTIES, L.L.C. ("Lessor") and MACATAWA BANK (Lessee')
         permits  this  sublease  only  in  the  event  that  Sublessee   incurs
         contractual liability directly to Lessor for rent and all other charges
         provided  for under the terms of the Lease.  By the  execution  of this
         Sublease,  Sublessee  accepts the Lessee's  assignment of liability for
         rent and all other  charges  provided  for under the terms of the Lease
         during the term of this Sublease and any  extension or renewal  hereof.
         This Sublease does not release Lessee from liability to Lessor for rent
         and all other charges due under the Lease."

the Premises for LESSEE's work.

     LESSEE shall be responsible for placing the Premises in operational  order,
installing trade fixtures, floor covering,  wallcovering,  any special lighting,
and other improvements upon taking possession of the Premises.

covering  and/or  carpeting,  and all fixtures  installed  or placed  within the
Premises,  other  than  LESSEE's  trade  fixtures,  shall be deemed to have been
attached to the  Premises  and to have  become the  property of LESSOR upon such
attachment and shall not be altered or removed without the prior written consent
of  LESSOR,  which  consent  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld,  delayed  or
conditioned.  LESSEE  shall not change or alter the  exterior  of the  Premises.

the prior written consent of LESSOR, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     22. TERMINATION, SURRENDER OF POSSESSION

     LESSEE  shall  fail or refuse to remove  all  personal  property  and trade
fixtures from the Premises upon the expiration or termination of this LEASE, the
parties  hereto agree and stipulate  that LESSOR may, at is election:  (i) treat
such failure or refusal as an offer by LESSEE to transfer title to such property
to LESSOR,  in which event the title  thereto  shall  thereupon  pass under this
LEASE as a bill of sale;  or (ii)  treat such  failure or refusal as  conclusive
evidence, on which LESSOR shall be entitled to rely absolutely,  that LESSEE has
forever  abandoned such property.  In either event,  LESSOR may, with or without
accepting title thereto, keep or remove,  store, destroy,  discard, or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of such  property  in any manner  that  LESSOR  shall
choose without incurring liability to LESSEE or to any other person. In no event
that  LESSOR  ever  become  or be  charged  with the  duties  of a bailee of any
property  of  LESSEE.  The  failure of LESSEE to remove  any  property  from the
Premises  shall  forever bar LESSEE from  bringing any action or  asserting  any
liability  against  LESSOR with  respect to any  property  which LESSEE fails to
remove.

termination or expiration of this LEASE will cause LESSOR additional expense. If
LESSEE shall remain in possession of the  Premises,  or any part thereof,  after
the termination or expiration of this LEASE, LESSEE shall acquire no rights with
respect to the  Premises.  LESSEE  shall,  however,  pay LESSOR,  as  liquidated
damages,  150% of the amount of rent which would have been due for a like period
of occupancy  during the term hereof.  The  provisions  of this clause shall not
operate as a waiver by LESSOR of any right it may otherwise have.

more of the  following  events:  (a) failure by LESSEE to pay the basic rents or

     LESSEE liable for all rents and other payments due up to the effective date
     of such termination.

          D.  may  take  whatever  action  at law  or in  equity  as may  appear
     necessary  or  desirable  to collect  the rent when due and  thereafter  to
     become due or to enforce  performance  and  observance  of any  obligation,
     agreement or covenant of LESSEE hereunder.

          E. may, as reasonably  deemed  necessary  from time to time (but shall

of any such  interest  shall not  excuse or cure the  default  upon  which  such
interest accrued. Further provided that, if the interest hereinabove provided is
at any time in excess of the maximum  legal rate  permitted to be charged  under
Michigan  law, the rate of interest  shall in fact be the maximum  legal rate so
chargeable under Michigan law.
