     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  condensed  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 AND SUBSEQUENT OFFERING

     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  $14,123,378.  Pursuant  to a
prospectus  dated  April  30,  1999,  the  Company  is  offering  for sale up to
1,200,000  shares at a purchase  price of $12.75 per share.  The  purpose of the
offering is to strengthen  the Company's  capital  position in  anticipation  of
future growth.


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 initial sale of
common  stock on November 7, 1997,  and opened for  operations  on November  25,
1997. The quarter ended March 31, 1998, was the Company's  first full quarter of
operations and therefore  differs  substantially  from the financial results for
the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

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

     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  initial plan of operation in November 1997 was to establish
its management  team within the first few months of its  operations.  Management
believes that it has been  successful in  establishing  a very  experienced  and
capable management team which can administer the Company's growth.

     The Company has experienced  rapid and substantial  growth since opening in
November 1997 as total assets  increased from  $10,722,193 at December 31, 1997,
to $220,448,753 at March 31, 1999. At December 31, 1998, the Bank had a total of
eight  branch  banking  offices and two  service  facilities.  The Company  also
completed an  underwritten  initial public  offering of common stock on April 7,
1998.  By a  prospectus  dated  April 30,  1999,  the Company is offering to its
shareholders  up to  1,200,000  shares of common  stock at a  purchase  price of
$12.75 per share. Although management believes the Company will continue to grow
in 1999, the rate of increase is not expected to be as rapid as it was in 1998.

     The Bank  established a Trust  Department in the fourth  quarter of 1998 to
further  provide for customers'  financial  needs.  The Trust  Department  began
business  on  January  3,  1999  and  as  of  March  31,  1999,  had  assets  of
approximately $47.1 million.

Financial Condition

     Total assets of the Company  increased by  $31,220,080 to  $220,448,753  at
March 31, 1999,  from  $189,228,673 at December 31, 1998. The increase in assets
is primarily  attributable to the Bank continuing to attract  customer  deposits
and then lending and otherwise  investing these funds. The first quarter of 1999
was the Company's  fifth full quarter of  operations,  and the number of deposit
accounts  increased  from   approximately   14,000  at  December  31,  1998,  to
approximately 17,115 deposit accounts at March 31, 1999.  Management  attributes
the  strong  growth in  deposits  to  quality  customer  service,  the desire of
customers to deal with a local bank,  and convenient  accessibility  through the
expansion  of  branches.  The Company  anticipates  that the Bank's  assets will
continue to increase  during 1999,  which will be the Bank's second full year of
operations.  However, management does not believe that the rate of increase will
be as rapid as it was during 1998.

     Cash and cash equivalents,  which include federal funds sold and short-term
investments,  increased  $1,654,337 to  $19,607,514  at December  31,1998,  from
$17,953,177  at December  31,  1998.  The  increase is  primarily  the result of
deposit growth since December 31, 1998.

     Securities  available for sale decreased $9,864,082 to $17,143,218 at March
31, 1999 from  $27,007,300  at December 31, 1998.  The decrease is the result of
called securities.

     Total loans  increased  $39,238,031 to  $177,120,291 at March 31, 1999 from
$137,882,260 at December 31, 1998.  While  management  believes that total loans
will  continue  to  increase,  the  rate  of  increase  in the  future  will  be
substantially  less than the rate of increase  during the  Company's  first full
year of operations.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
     The  allowance  for  loan  losses  as of March  31,  1999,  was  $2,480,000
representing  approximately  1.4%  of  gross  loans  outstanding,   compared  to
$2,030,000 at December 31, 1998.  Macatawa Bank has not experienced any material
credit losses as of March 31, 1999.

     Bank premises and equipment  increased to $7,692,025 at March 31, 1999 from
$7,125,755  at December 31, 1997.  The  increase  resulted  from the purchase of
furniture and equipment.

     Deposits  increased to $190,233,327 at March 31, 1999, from $166,988,675 at
December 31, 1998.  This was  primarily as a result of deposits  being  obtained
from new customers of the Bank.

Results of Operations

     A line by line  comparison  of results of  operations  for the three  month
periods ended March 31, 1999, and March 31, 1998 is not provided.

     The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1999, was $77,110.  As of
March 31,  1999,  the Company had a retained  deficit of  $2,731,186,  and as of
December  31,  1998,  the  Company  had a retained  deficit of  $2,654,076.  The
retained  deficit and net losses are primarily the result of provisions for loan
losses which totaled  $2,480,000 at March 31, 1999.  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 also  contributed to the
retained  deficit  and net losses.  Management  believes  that the Company  will
realize a modest  profit for 1999.  Earnings  will  continue to be curtailed for
much of 1999 as a result of  additional  loan loss  reserves,  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 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was  $3,635,152,
related to interest income on securities,  loans, and interest earning deposits.
Interest  expense was  $1,751,687  for the three  months  ended March 31,  1999,
related to interest incurred on interest bearing deposits.

     The Company had an allowance for loan losses of approximately 1.4% of total
loans at March 31,  1999.  The  provision  for loan losses for the three  months
ended March 31, 1999 was  $450,000.  This amount was provided as a result of the
increase in the total loan  portfolio.  Management  considered it prudent during
the first year of  operations  to provide for loan losses at a  relatively  high
percentage  of total loans to be  consistent  with the loss  inherent in similar
loan  portfolios.  Management will continue to monitor its loan loss performance
and adjust its loan loss reserve to more closely align itself to its own history
of loss  experience.  This may reduce its loan loss reserve as a  percentage  of
total loans in the future.

     Non-interest  income  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999,  was
$389,145,  consisting primarily of gain on sales of loans. These loans consisted
primarily of conforming  mortgage loans which were sold to the secondary market.
Management  believes this  activity will continue to be a significant  source of
non-interest  income in 1999. At the present time, the Bank is not servicing the
loans it sells, but may consider doing so in the future.  The Bank also recorded
a modest amount of trust fee income in the first quarter.  As trust assets grow,
management   believes  that  trust  assets  will  be  a  significant  source  of
non-interest income during 1999.

     The main  components of  non-interest  expense were primarily  salaries and
benefits.  Non-interest  expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999,  was
$1,899,720.  Other significant  components of non-interest  expense consisted of
occupancy and equipment expenses, legal and accounting fees, marketing expenses,
data processing and supplies.

                                      -12-

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company  obtained its initial  equity  capital as a result of a private
placement  on behalf of the Bank to investors  in  November,  1997.  The Company
raised additional equity capital in its initial public offering  completed April
7, 1998,  which resulted in net proceeds of $14,123,378.  Given the rapid growth
of the Bank,  it is expected  that  additional  equity  capital will be required
during 1999. The Company has filed a Registration  Statement with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission to register and offer to the Company's  shareholders up
to 1,200,000  shares of Common  Stock for a purchase  price of $12.75 per share.
The common stock is being offered  exclusively to shareholders of the Company as
of April 9, 1999.  Shareholders  are entitled to purchase one share for each two
shares of Common Stock they owned on April 9, 1999.  Shareholders  must exercise
their  right to purchase by June 4, 1999.  There can be no  assurance  as to the
total dollar amount of  subscriptions  that will be received as a result of this
offering.

     As a condition to regulatory approval of the Bank's formation,  the Bank is
required  to  maintain  capitalization  sufficient  to provide a ratio of Tier 1
Capital  to total  assets  of at least  8% at the end of the  third  year of its
operations.  At March 31, 1999,  the Bank's Tier 1 Capital as a percent of total
assets was 8.43%. The Company has approximately $1 million in additional capital
which it could contribute to the Bank's capital if necessary.

     The  Company's  sources of liquidity  include loan  payments by  borrowers,
maturity  and sales of  securities  available  for sale,  growth of deposits and
deposit equivalents,  federal funds sold,  borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank, and the issuance of common stock.

     Asset liability management aids the Company in maintaining  liquidity while
maintaining  a balance  between  interest  earning  assets and interest  bearing
liabilities.  Liquidity  management  involves  the ability to meet the cash flow
requirements of the Company's customers. These customers may be either borrowers
with  credit  needs or  depositors  wanting to  withdraw  funds.  Management  of
interest rate sensitivity  attempts to avoid widely varying net interest margins
and to achieve  consistent  net  interest  income  through  periods of  changing
interest rates.

Year 2000 Compliance

     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.  The Company and the Bank were organized in 1997
and the Company acquired its computer  equipment within the past eighteen months
and has contracted with a leading supplier of information  processing  services.
This equipment and these services were purchased with manufacturer assurances of
Year 2000 compliance.

     Company  management has developed and the Board of Directors has approved a
comprehensive  Year 2000  Compliance  Plan.  The plan  consists of five  phases:
awareness, assessment,  renovation,  validation and implementation.  The Company
has an internal task force to assess Year 2000  compliance  by the Company,  its
vendors,  and major deposit  customers.  In addition,  the Bank asks  commercial
borrowers about Year 2000 compliance as part of the loan  application and review
process.

     To  date,  the  Company  has  spent  approximately  $28,000  on  Year  2000
compliance.  Management  believes  that the  additional  costs to  complete  the
Company's Year 2000 compliance will be minimal.

     The  Company  presently  anticipates  that it will  complete  its Year 2000
assessment and any necessary remediation by June 30, 1999. However, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be successful in  implementing  its Year 2000
remediation plan according to the anticipated schedule. In addition, the

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
Company may be  adversely  affected by the  inability of other  companies  whose
systems interact with the Company to become Year 2000 compliant.

     The Bank's  core  processing  applications  are  provided  by a third party
vendor,  Rurbanc  Data  Services,  Inc.  (RDSI).  The Company  receives  regular
correspondence  from  RDSI  which  documents  the  status  of  their  Year  2000
compliance.  The  Company  has  been  advised  that  RDSI's  software  has  been
successfully tested for Year 2000 compliance.

     Although the Company expects its internal systems to be Year 2000 compliant
as described  above,  the Company 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  Company  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
Company to successfully  address Year 2000 issues could result in  interruptions
in the Company's  business and have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's
results of operations.

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.

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  Company  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 Company,  are
generally  identifiable  by use  of the  words  "believe,"  "expect,"  "intend,"
"anticipate,"  "estimate,"  "project"  or  similar  expressions.  The  Company'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 Company 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 Company'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  Company  and its  business,  including  additional
factors  that  could  materially  affect the  Company's  financial  results,  is
