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.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.

Financial Condition

Loan demand was strong during the first quarter of 2000. Net loans increased
$4,051,000 during the quarter. 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 quarter of the year. This
follows a pattern of cash flows that usually impacts the market in the first
quarter. Demand deposits grew during the quarter. Non interest bearing demand
increased 17% and interest bearing demand deposits grew 20% since December 31,
1999. 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.
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 increases the prime rate 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, but the branch will be an expense burden
on the Bank for the next one to two years.

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 $138,000 which
would result in an after tax change to net interest income, assuming a 34% tax
rate, of $91,000. An increase in rates would result in a reduction of income; a
decrease in rates results in an increase in income.
