QUORUM REQUIREMENT
To hold a valid meeting, a quorum of shareholders is necessary. If
shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to
be cast at the meeting are present in person or by proxy, a quorum will exist.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for establishing a
quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker votes on some matter on the proxy
card but not on others because the broker does not have the authority to vote on
the other matter.
INFORMATION ABOUT VOTES NECESSARY FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Four (4) directors will be elected at the meeting. In the event a quorum
exists, each director must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the
votes cast at the meeting. The ratification of the appointment of Plante & Moran
as the company's auditors, requires an affirmative vote of the majority of the
votes cast. Abstentions and non-votes will have no effect on the result of the
vote on the two items to be presented at the meeting.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors does not know of any other matter to be presented at
the Annual Meeting other than the proposals discussed in this proxy statement.
Generally, under MCB's Bylaws, no business other than the two items discussed in
this proxy statement may be transacted at the meeting. However, if any other
matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting, your proxies will act on such
proposal in their discretion.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
MCB's Board of Directors is divided into classes and as a result the terms
of the directors are staggered. Each class of director serves a staggered three
year term. This year, the terms of our Class III directors end. Each of the
Class III directors have been nominated to be re-elected. Each re-elected
director will serve until the end of their term and their qualified successor
has been elected. Current directors Messrs. Hernandez, Melstrom, Sumner and
Tarquinio are Class III directors and if re-elected will serve a new three year
term.

another nominee proposed by the Board or the Board may reduce the number of
directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The MCB compensation committee is comprised of three directors who are not
employees of the company. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the
approval and administration of compensation programs for MCB's executive
officers. MCB's compensation policies for executive officers are intended to:
- provide competitive compensation packages in order to attract and retain
superior executive talent;
- link a significant portion of an executive's overall compensation to
financial results as reflected in the value returned to shareholders; and
- provide long-term equity compensation to align the interests of executive
officers with those of shareholders and reward successful performance.
CASH COMPENSATION.
Cash compensation for MCB executive officers is based primarily on an
analysis of competitive executive compensation. The Compensation Committee
relies upon general business compensation surveys and local market conditions to
determine appropriate compensation ranges.
MCB's policy is to pay its executive officers at the competitive averages
for comparable positions. Compensation levels for individual executive officers,
may be greater or less than competitive averages, depending upon a subjective
assessment of individual factors such as the executive's position, skills,
achievements, tenure and other historical factors.
EQUITY COMPENSATION.
MCB provides equity compensation to its executive officers principally
through its 1998 Employee Stock Option Plan. Option awards under the 1998
Employee Stock Option Plan are determined based upon the achievement of various
predetermined goals of MCB relating to budgeted financial performance or the
achievement of operating targets and goals. Generally, awards under the 1998
Employee Stock Option Plan vest over a three year period to ensure that the
decisions made by the executive officer considers the long-term best interests
and continued financial and operational growth and achievement of MCB.
There were no awards of stock options to executive officers during 1999
under the 1998 Employee Stock Option Plan.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S COMPENSATION.
Mr. McKinnon's cash compensation for 1999 was $187,046 based in part, on
his success in opening and leading MCB, Lakeside and North Oakland during 1999
and the successful achievement of certain growth targets and goals for MCB,
Lakeside and North Oakland during the first full year of operation.

TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT
During 1999, in the regular course of business, Lakeside and North Oakland
made various loans to certain members of MCB's Board of Directors. In the
opinion of management, such loans were on terms and conditions that were no more
favorable than the terms and conditions of loans provided to other customers of
Lakeside or North Oakland and did not involve more than the normal risk of
collectibility. Also during 1999, various officers and directors of MCB
purchased Units priced at $11.00 per Unit in a private placement. Each Unit was
comprised of a share of Common Stock and a 36 month Warrant to purchase 1.5
shares of Common Stock at $11.00 per share. The Price at which the Units were
sold was approximately 10% above the thirty-day average price of the Company's
Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Bulletin Board.
OTHER INFORMATION
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the executive
officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's stock to
file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
require MCB to identify anyone who filed a required report late during 1999.
Based solely on review of reports furnished to MCB and written representations
that no other reports were required during 1999, all Section 16(a) filing
requirements were met.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Shareholders of MCB that want to present a proposal to be considered at the
2001 annual meeting should send the proposal to Kimberly Schauer, Secretary of
MCB at 43850 Schoenherr Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48313 by registered,
