Part I - Financial Information

Item I - Financial Statements

Introduction to Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements of County Bank Corp and subsidiary, Lapeer
County Bank & Trust Co., have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when
read in conjunction with financial statements and the notes thereto included in
County Bank Corp's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 1999.

The financial information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year.

</TABLE>

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

Financial Condition

Loan demand remained strong through the second quarter of 2000. Net loans
increased $5,251,000 since December 31, 1999. The largest demand was in the
commercial loan area. This increase was earlier than anticipated and is a
reflection of the strong growth in the local market place. Mortgage activity
declined as a result of increasing interest rates. Consumer loans also declined
during the quarter.

Time and savings deposits dropped during the first half of the year. This
follows a pattern of cash flows that usually impacts the market in the early
months of the year. Demand deposits grew during the first two quarters. Interest
bearing demand increased 8.6% which offset a slight decrease of .01% in
noninterest bearing demand. New commercial customers with large deposit balances
contributed to the growth in non interest demand. Increased use on the Choice
product's indexed interest rate feature contributed to the growth in interest
bearing demand accounts.

The Bank paid a quarterly dividend of $.18 per share during the first quarter
and $.18 per share during the second quarter. Increases in deposit accounts and
maturities in the investment portfolio met demands for new loans. The Bank sold
securities in the available for sale portfolio when an opportunity to liquidate
low yielding municipal bonds with no loss arose. The money is invested in
Federal funds to meet loan commitments and respond to loan applications that
have not been funded. The Bank continues to seek investment opportunities to
supplement income but remain liquid enough to meet loan demand.

Results of Operations

Increasing rates put pressure on the Bank's interest margin. The Bank is closely
matched, but deposits reprice in advance and in anticipation of Federal Reserve
Board action that influences market interest rates and consequently provides
higher loan yields. Other income categories performed at the similar levels to
the previous year. Other expenses increased in response to the opening of a new
branch in Imlay City, Michigan in August of 1999. The branch is growing faster
than any office previously opened by the Bank.

The  previous  table is a static gap  analysis of the  differences  in repricing
opportunities between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive  liabilities.  An
immediate 100 basis point change in rates to both assets and  liabilities  would
result in an  approximate  difference in net interest  income of $148,000  which
would result in an after tax change to net interest  income,  assuming a 34% tax
rate, of $97,000.  An increase in rates would result in a reduction of income; a
decrease in rates results in an increase in income.
