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 moderated during the third quarter of 2000. Net loans declined $2.4
million as a result of repayment of certain land development loans. Net loans
increased $2.9 since December 31, 1999. The largest demand was in the commercial
loan area. Mortgage activity declined as a result of increasing interest rates.
Consumer loans also declined during the quarter.

Time deposits increased during the quarter as a result of rate increases.
Savings accounts declined while interest bearing demand accounts continued their
strong growth. This follows a pattern of cash flows that usually impacts the
market in the early months of the year. Non-interest bearing demand deposits
continued to decline slightly. 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 three
quarters of 2000. 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


                                       8

<PAGE>   9

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. Interest on fees on
loans increased as a result of growth in loans and increases in the Prime rate.
Interest on demand deposits increased due to rate increases and growth as a
result of customers seeking safety from the volatility of the mutual funds
markets. 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.

The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by management to absorb potential losses from impaired loans as well as
the remainder of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is based upon
periodic analysis of the portfolio, economic conditions and trends, historical
credit loss experience, borrowers' ability to repay and collateral values.

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 annual net interest income of $88,000
which would result in an after tax change to net interest income, assuming a 34%
tax rate, of $58,000. An increase in rates would result in a reduction of
income; a decrease in rates results in an increase in income.
