PROXY STATEMENT
For the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
to be held April 27, 2000
------------------
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FOR ANNUAL MEETING
This Proxy Statement is furnished to the Shareholders of Macatawa Bank
Corporation (the "Company") in connection with the solicitation by the Board of
Directors of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders which will
be held at Ridgepoint Community Church, 340 104th Avenue, Holland, Michigan
49423, April 27, 2000, at 10:00 A.M., local time.
The Annual Meeting is being held for the following purposes:
1. To elect two directors, each to hold office for a three year term.
2. To transact such other business as may properly come before the
meeting or at any adjournment thereof.
If a proxy in the form distributed by the Company's Board of Directors is
properly executed and returned to the Company, the shares represented by the
proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and at any adjournment
of that meeting. Where shareholders specify a choice, the proxy will be voted as
specified. If no choice is specified, the shares represented by the proxy will
be voted FOR the nominees named by the Board of Directors in the proxy. Shares
not voted at the meeting, whether by abstention, broker non-vote, or otherwise,
will not be treated as votes cast at the meeting. Votes cast at the meeting and
submitted by proxy will be tabulated by the Company's transfer agent, Macatawa
Bank.
A proxy may be revoked prior to its exercise by delivering a written notice
of revocation to the secretary of the Company, executing and delivering a proxy
of a later date or attending the meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the
meeting does not automatically act to revoke a proxy.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
On February 28, 2000, the record date for determination of shareholders
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, there were outstanding 3,588,565 shares
of common stock of the Company. Shares cannot be voted unless the shareholder is
present at the meeting or is represented by proxy.
As of February 28, 2000, only one person or entity is known to management
who may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the Company's
common stock. Smith & Associates Investment Management Services has reported to
the Company that is has sole voting and investment power with respect to
1,082,454 shares of common stock and shared voting and investment power with
respect to an additional 4,250 shares of common stock, which in the aggregate
represent 30.28% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.
Benj. A. Smith, the chief executive officer of the Company, is also the chief
executive officer of Smith & Associates Investment Management Services.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for the division of the
Board of Directors into three classes of nearly equal size with staggered
three-year terms of office. The number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors is determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board
is currently composed of ten members.
The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders to restructure the board of
directors by reducing the number of directors of the Company. In order to effect
this restructuring, James L. Jurries, James L. Batts, Wayne J. Elhart, Jessie F.
Dalman and Brian J. Hansen will resign from the Board of Directors of the
Company prior to the Annual Meeting. Each of these directors and all of the
Company's remaining directors will continue as directors of Macatawa Bank, a
subsidiary of the Company. The Company anticipates forming a second subsidiary
which will provide financial and other services excluding banking services
("Financial Services Company"). Once the Financial Services Company is
organized, certain Macatawa Bank directors will be named to the Financial
Services Company Board. All services provided by the Company other than banking
will be provided through the Financial Services Company and all banking services
will be provided through Macatawa Bank. For the foreseeable future, the Company
will function purely as a holding company. The Board restructuring will relieve
the directors who are leaving the Company's Board from any holding company
responsibilities and permit them to focus their attention and efforts on the
Company's subsidiary operations.
Two persons have been nominated for election to the Board, each to serve a
three-year term expiring at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board
has nominated G. Thomas Boylan and Benj. A. Smith, III, each of whom is an
incumbent director.
Holders of common stock should complete the accompanying proxy. Unless
otherwise directed by a shareholder's proxy, it is intended that the votes cast
upon exercise of proxies in the form accompanying this statement will be in
favor of electing the nominees as directors for the terms indicated above. Each
of the nominees is presently serving as directors. The following pages of this
Proxy Statement contain more information about the nominees and other directors
of the Company.
2
A plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to elect
the nominees as directors of the Company. As such, the two individuals who
receive this number of votes cast by the holders of the Company's common stock
will be elected as directors. Shares not voted at the meeting, whether by
abstention, broker non-vote, or otherwise, will not be treated as votes cast at
the meeting. Votes cast at the meeting and submitted by proxy will be tabulated
by the Company.
Except those persons nominated by the Board of Directors, no other persons
may be nominated for election at the 2000 Annual Meeting. The Company's Articles
of Incorporation require at least 60 days prior written notice of any other
proposed nomination and no such notice has been received.
If any nominee becomes unavailable for election due to circumstances not
now known, the accompanying proxy will be voted for such other person to become
a director as the Board of Directors selects.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the
persons nominated by the Board.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Committee Report on Executive Compensation
Decisions on the compensation of the Corporation's executive officers are
made by the Board's Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee met two
times during 1999.
Base Salary - In general, the Board intends to maintain the base salaries
of the Company's executive officers and senior managers within peer group
levels, with the ability to make appropriate adjustment to reflect other
relevant factors, which may include individual performance, experience,
expertise and tenure. Annually, the Committee establishes a base wage for the
Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Smith, and for the President, Mr. Koning. The
Committee's determination is based upon the performance of the individual and
compensation levels established by the Company's peers and evaluations by
consultants.
The base salaries of all other officers and senior managers are established
by the Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Long-Term Incentives - The Company provides long-term incentives in the
form of stock options. Each year the Committee recommends to the Board a list of
stock options to be granted. These options are intended to recognize individual
contributions and to incentivize employees to contribute to the long-term
objectives of the Company. To align the interests of its executive officers and
senior managers with the Company's shareholders, the Board's compensation
strategy provides for a 401(k) matching contribution.
G. Thomas Boylan, Robert E. Den Herder and Benj. A. Smith III

TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING MANAGEMENT
Directors and officers of the Company and their associates were customers
of, and had transactions with, subsidiaries of the Company in the ordinary
course of business during 1999. All loans and commitments included in such
transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the
same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve an
unusual risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
The Bank leases its Holland office located at 106 E. 8th Street, Holland,
Michigan 49423, from a corporation wholly owned by Benj A. Smith, III, an
officer and director of the Company. The Bank leases its Wyoming, Michigan
branch facility from a limited liability company co-owned by John F. Koetje, a
director of the Company. The terms of these leases were negotiated on an
arm's-length basis, and the Company believes that the rent and other terms
reflect fair market value.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and officers to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of
shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon
written representations by each director and officer, all the reports were filed
by such persons during the last fiscal year, except for one late report with
respect to one transaction by each of Messrs. Benj. A. Smith, James L. Batts and
James L. Jurries.

APPENDIX A
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could differ materially
from those projected in such forward-looking statements.
The following section presents additional information to assess the
financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Bank. This
section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and the supplemental financial data contained elsewhere in this Appendix.
Overview
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 has experienced rapid and substantial growth since opening in
November 1997. At December 31, 1999, the Bank had thirteen branch banking
offices, and two service facilities. The Company completed an underwritten
initial public offering of common stock on April 7, 1998, resulting in net
proceeds of $14.1 million. In June 1999, the Company completed an offering of
common stock to its shareholders resulting in net proceeds of $14.6 million.
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 December 31, 1999, had assets of
approximately $183 million.
The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders to restructure the board of
directors by reducing the number of directors of the Company. In order to effect
this restructuring, James L. Jurries, James L. Batts, Wayne J. Elhart, Jessie F.
Dalman and Brian J. Hansen will resign from the Board of Directors of the
Company prior to the Annual Meeting. Each of these directors and all of the
Company's remaining directors will continu as directors of Macatawa Bank, a
subsidiary of the Company. The Company anticipates forming a second subsidiary
which will provide financial and other services excluding banking services
("Financial Services Company"). Once the Financial Services Company Board is
organized, certain Macatawa Bank directors will be named to the Financial
Services Company Board. All services provided by the Company other than banking
will be provided through the Financial Services Company and all banking services
will be provided through Macatawa Bank. For the foreseeable future, the Company
will function purely as a holding company. The Board restructuring will relieve
the directors who are leaving the Company's Board from any holding company
responsibilities and permit them to focus their attention and efforts on the
Company's subsidiary operations.
A-5
Financial Condition
Summary. Total assets of the Company increased by $155,692,000 to
$344,921,000 at December 31, 1999, from $189,229,000 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
fourth quarter of 1999 was the Company's eighth full quarter of operations, and
the number of deposit accounts increased from approximately 14,000 at December
31, 1998, to approximately 27,000 accounts at December 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 2000, which will be the Bank's third full year of
operations. However, management does not believe that the rate of increase will
be as rapid as it was during the first two years of operation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents, which include federal
funds sold and short-term investments, increased $2,600,862 to $20,554,039 at
December 31, 1999, from $17,953,177 at December 31, 1998. The increase is a
result of cash reserves needed for additional branches. The Bank also increased
cash reserves in order to be prepared for any large cash withdrawals by
customers concerned about Y2K. Balances required to cover account services at
correspondent banks were increased due to volumes.
Securities. Securities are purchased and classified as "available for
sale." The securities may be sold to meet the Bank's liquidity needs. The
primary objective of the Company's investing activities is to provide for the
safety of the principal invested. Secondary considerations include earnings,
liquidity and overall exposure to changes in interest rates. Securities
available for sale increased $1,274,075 to $28,281,375 at December 31, 1999 from
$27,007,300 at December 31, 1998, or 4.72%.

form of commercial loans and real estate mortgages. Commercial loans increased
$105,722,570 from $95,669,151 at December 31, 1998, to $201,391,721 at December
31, 1999, an increase of 110.51%. Commercial loans account for approximately 71%
of the Bank's total loan portfolio. In addition, the Bank's consumer mortgage
loan volume is significant; however, only a small portion of these loans are
retained for the Bank's own portfolio. The Bank originated $141 million (3,760
loans) in 1999 and $102 million (2,658 loans) in 1998.

Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming loans as of December 31, 1999 totaled
$101,000. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate for
the lending portfolio. Loan performance is reviewed regularly by external loan
review specialists, loan officers, and senior management. When reasonable doubt
exists concerning collectibility of interest or principal, the loan will be
placed in nonaccrual status. Any interest previously accrued but not collected
at that time will be reversed and charged against current earnings. As of
December 31, 1999 there were no other interest bearing assets which required
classification. Management is not aware of any recommendations by regulatory
agencies, which, if implemented, would have a material impact on the Company's
liquidity, capital or operations.

Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 1999, was $3,995,165
representing approximately 1.40% of gross loans outstanding, compared to
$2,030,000 at December 31, 1998, or 1.47% of gross loans outstanding. The Bank
has not experienced any material credit losses as of December 31, 1999. The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management feels is adequate
to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management prepares an
evaluation which is based upon a continuous review of the Bank's loan portfolio,
the Bank's and industry's historical loan loss experience, known and inherent
risks included in the loan portfolio, composition of loans, growth of the
portfolio and current economic conditions. The allowance for loan losses is
analyzed quarterly by management. In so doing, management assigns a portion of
the allowance to the entire portfolio by loan type and to specific credits that
have been identified as problem loans and reviews past loss experience. The
local economy and particular concentrations are considered, as well as a number
of other factors.

The Bank operates in a very competitive environment. Management monitors
rates at other financial institutions in the area to ascertain that its rates
are competitive with the market. Management also attempts to offer a wide
variety of products to meets the needs of its customers. The Bank offers
business and consumer checking accounts, regular and money market savings
accounts, and certificates having many options in their terms.
Premises and Equipment. Bank premises and equipment increased to $9,997,566
at December 31, 1999 from $7,125,755 at December 31, 1998. The increase resulted
primarily from the purchase of furniture and equipment, which increased from
$2,553,229 at December 31, 1998 to $4,516,473 at December 31, 1999.
Retained Deficit. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had a retained
deficit of $2,654,076, and as of December 31, 1999, the Company had a retained
deficit of $1,960,810. The retained deficit is primarily the result of prior
year losses, including the impact of provisions for loan losses which totaled
$2,022,500 in 1998. Also contributing to the retained deficit were wages paid to
employees and costs associated with expanding the branch network. Management
believes that the expenditures made in 1997 and 1998 created the infrastructure
and laid the foundation for future growth and profitability in subsequent years.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company had an allowance for loan losses of
approximately 1.40% of total loans at December 31, 1999. The provision for loan
losses for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $1,967,000. This amount was
provided as a result of the increase in the total loan portfolio. Management
considers it prudent during the first years of operations to provide for loan
losses at a level which is consistent with levels maintained by banks with
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.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the year ended December 31,
1999 was $1,527,998, consisting primarily of service charges on deposit accounts
which totaled $660,920 and gain on sales of loans which totaled $623,520. Trust
revenues of $228,588 also contributed to non-interest income. Trust fee income
continues to increase each quarter as the amount of trust assets increases.
Trust revenues recorded in the last two quarters of 1999 represented
approximately 75% of the year to date trust revenues. Non-interest income for
the year ended December 31, 1998 was $683,382 and consisted primarily of gain on
sales of loans of $520,645 and service charges on deposit accounts which totaled
$157,109. No trust revenues were recorded in 1998, since the trust department
did not begin business until January 3, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Equity Capital. 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 of $14.1 million in its initial public
offering completed in April 1998. 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% through 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%. Due to the rapid growth of the Bank,
additional equity capital was required. In June 1999, the Company raised $14.6
million of equity capital net proceeds in an offering made to the Company's
shareholders. The Company contributed $10,000,000 from the proceeds of this
offering to the Bank's capital. At June 30, 1999, the Bank's Tier 1 Capital as a
percent of total assets was 10.83%. At December 31, 1999, this ratio decreased
to 8.59%, due to asset growth. The Company has approximately $5 million in
additional funds which it could contribute to the Bank's capital if necessary.
The following table shows various capital ratios as of December 31, 1999.

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. 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.
A-16
Asset Liability Management and Market Risk Analysis
Asset liability management aids the Company in maintaining liquidity while
maintaining a balance between interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities. 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. Certain savings accounts and
interest bearing checking accounts are are shown as repricing other than
contractually due to the stability of these products in a rate changing
environment. Management monitors the Company's exposure to interest rate changes
using a GAP analysis. The following table illustrates the Company's GAP position
at various intervals (in thousands of dollars) at December 31, 1999.

A-17
Other variables besides interest rate changes may have an impact on the
financial condition of the Bank including, but not limited to, growth of the
company, structure of the balance sheet, and economic and competitive factors.
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.
The Company has not experienced any Year 2000 problems. Although considered
unlikely, unanticipated problems, including problems associated with
non-compliant third parties, could still occur. The Company will continue to
manage its business and address any issues that may arise.
Recent Regulatory Developments
Recently enacted federal legislation (the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999)
eliminates many Federal and state law barriers to affiliations among banks and
other financial services providers. The legislation, which takes effect March
11, 2000, establishes a statutory framework pursuant to which full affiliations
can occur between banks and securities firms, insurance companies, and other
financial companies. The legislation provides some degree of flexibility in
structuring these new affiliations, although certain activities may only be
conducted through a holding company structure. The legislation preserves the
role of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as the umbrella
supervisor for holding companies, but incorporates a system of functional
regulation pursuant to which the various Federal and state financial supervisors
will continue to regulate the activities traditionally within their
jurisdictions. The legislation specifies that banks may not participate in the
new , affiliations unless they are well-capitalized, well-managed and maintain a
rating under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 of at least "satisfactory"
among all affiliates.
A-17
At this time, the Company is unable to predict the impact this legislation
may have on the Company.
The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders to restructure the board of
directors by reducing the number of directors of the Company. In order to effect
this restructuring, James L. Jurries, James L. Batts, Wayne J. Elhart, Jessie F.
Dalman and Brian J. Hansen will resign from the Board of Directors of the
Company prior to the Annual Meeting. Each of these directors and all of the
Company's remaining directors will continue as directors of Macatawa Bank, a
subsidiary of the Company. The Company anticipates forming a second subsidiary
which will provide financial and other services excluding banking services
("Financial Services Company"). Once the Financial Services Company Board is
organized, certain Macatawa Bank directors will be named to the Financial
Services Company Board. All services provided by the Company other than banking
will be provided through the Financial Services Company and all banking services
will be e provided through Macatawa Bank. For the foreseeable future, the
Company will function purely as a holding company. The Board restructuring will
relieve the directors who are leaving the Company's Board from any holding
company responsibilities and permit them to focus their attention and efforts on
the Company's subsidiary operations.
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," "may" or similar expressions. The
presentation and discussion of the provision and allowance for loan losses,
statements concerning future profitability or future growth or increases, and
the Year 2000 readiness discussion are examples of inherently forward looking
statements in that they involve judgements and statements of belief as to the
outcome of future events. 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 Bank 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 included in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

MACATAWA BANK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations: The Company became the bank holding company for Macatawa
Bank (the "Bank") on February 23, 1998, when all of the Bank's outstanding
common stock (817,500 shares) was converted into all of the outstanding common
stock of the Company (940,125 shares) and all of the Bank's shareholders became
all of the Company's shareholders. The exchange ratio in the conversion was 1.15
shares of Company common stock for each share of Bank common stock. The Bank's
common stock had been issued to it shareholders as of November 7, 1997 as a
result of a private offering of the Bank's common stock at a price of $10 per
share or a total of $8,175,000. As this was essentially an internal
reorganization, the consolidated financial statements are presented by including
operations of the Company and Bank for all periods presented. Further share and
per share data has been adjusted for the conversion ratio of 1.15 shares of
Company stock for one share of Bank stock.
Macatawa Bank Corporation is a regional, community-based financial institution,
located in Zeeland, Michigan. The Bank's primary services include accepting
deposits and making commercial, mortgage and installment loans in the Michigan
counties of Allegan, Ottawa and Kent. The Bank also operates a trust department
which provides fiduciary, investment and other related services. The Bank
commenced its application process on May 21, 1997, completed its common stock
sale on November 7, 1997 and opened for operations on November 25, 1997 after
several months of work by incorporators and employees in preparing applications
with the various regulatory agencies and obtaining insurance and building space.
The costs associated with the organization of the Company are included in the
1998 income statement.
The Company completed an underwritten initial public offering of common stock on
April 7, 1998, which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $14,123,378. On
April 30, 1999, the Company had another common stock offering and sold 1,153,440
shares, raising $14,622,270.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Macatawa Bank, after
elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based
on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future
results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, the deferred tax asset
valuation allowance and the fair values of financial instruments are
particularly subject to change.
Concentration of Credit Risk: Loans are granted to, and deposits are obtained
from, customers primarily in the western Michigan area as described above.
Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral, including
residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial assets and consumer
assets. Other financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial
institutions.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash Flow Reporting: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand
deposits with other financial institutions and short-term securities (securities
with maturities of equal to or less than 90 days and federal funds sold). Cash
flows are reported net for customer loan and deposit transactions,
interest-bearing time deposits with other financial institutions and short-term
borrowings with maturities of 90 days or less.
Securities: Securities available for sale consist of those securities which
might be sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment
risks, yield and availability of alternative investments, liquidity needs or
other factors. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at their
fair value and the related unrealized holding gain or loss is reported, net of
related income tax effects, as a separate component of shareholders' equity,
until realized.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Gains and
losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold. Securities
are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary.
Loans: Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of the
allowance for loan losses, and charge-offs. Loans held for sale are reported at
the lower of cost or market, on an aggregate basis. While the Company does sell
loans on the secondary market, there were no loans held for sale at December 31,
1999 or 1998. Interest income is reported on the interest method.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
allowance, increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries, and
decreased by charge-offs. Management estimates the allowance balance required
based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, economic conditions and
other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but
the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment,
should be charged-off.
Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not
expected. Impairment is evaluated in aggregate for smaller-balance loans of
similar nature such as residential mortgage and consumer loans, and on an
individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the
allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value
of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate. Loans are
evaluated for impairment when payments are delayed, typically 90 days or more,
or when the internal grading system indicates a doubtful classification. There
were no loans classified as impaired as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 or for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 or for the period from May 21, 1997 (date
of inception) through December 31, 1997.

December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are
initially recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.
If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs
after acquisition are expensed. The Bank held no foreclosed assets at December
31, 1999 or 1998.
Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using both straight-line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Maintenance, repairs and minor alterations are charged to current operations as
expenditures occur and major improvements are capitalized. These assets are
reviewed for impairment under SFAS No. 121 when events indicate the carrying
amount may not be recoverable.
Stock Compensation: Employee compensation expense under stock option plans is
reported if options are granted below market price at grant date. Pro forma
disclosures of net income and earnings per share are shown using the fair value
method of SFAS No. 123 to measure expense for options granted, using an option
pricing model to estimate fair value.
Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax due
or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and
liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced
by a valuation allowance due to a lack of historical operating performance.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are
estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully
disclosed separately. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and
other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.
Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the
estimates. The fair value estimates of existing on-and off-balance sheet
financial instruments do not include the value of anticipated future business or
the values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share: Basic earnings (loss) per share is net income (loss)
divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of
additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income
(loss) and unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of
tax, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.
Segment Reporting: Macatawa Bank Corporation, through the branch network of its
subsidiary, Macatawa Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to
individuals and companies in western Michigan. These services include demand,
time and savings deposits; lending; ATM processing; cash management; and trust
services. While the Company's chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams
of the various Company products and services, operations are managed and
financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of
the Company's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated
in one reportable operating segment.
Dividend Restriction: The Company and the Bank are subject to banking
regulations which require the maintenance of certain capital levels and positive
retained earnings, which will prevent payment of dividends until positive
retained earnings are achieved and may limit the amount of dividends thereafter.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts on the 1998 and 1997 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Company was required to have $2,597,000 and $803,000 of cash on hand or on
deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing
requirements at year end 1999 and 1998. These balances do not earn interest.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
Some financial instruments are used to meet customer financing needs and to
reduce exposure to interest rate changes. These financial instruments include
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These involve, to
varying degrees, credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount reported
in the financial statements.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment, and
generally have fixed expiration dates. Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments to guarantee a customer's performance to a third party. Exposure to
credit loss if the other party does not perform is represented by the
contractual amount for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit. Collateral or other security is normally not obtained for these
financial instruments prior to their use, and many of the commitments are
expected to expire without being used.
A summary of the notional or contractual amounts of financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk at year-end follows:
1999 1998
---- ----
Commitments to make loans $ 14,973,000 $ 17,876,000
Unused lines of credit 102,763,000 65,699,000
Approximately 50% of the Bank's commitments to make loans are at fixed rates,
offered at current market rates. The majority of the variable rate commitments
noted above are tied to prime and expire within 30 days. The majority of the
unused lines of credit are at variable rates tied to prime.
The Bank conducts substantially all of its business operations in western
Michigan.
The Bank leases certain office and branch premises and equipment under operating
lease agreements. Total rental expense for all operating leases aggregated
$305,516 in 1999, $117,886 in 1998 and $1,600 in 1997. Future minimum rentals
under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 1999 are as follows:

NOTE 14 - REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements
administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt
corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure
to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could
have a direct material effect on the financial statements.
The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including
well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not
used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized,
regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If
undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and
expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.
At year-end, actual capital levels (in thousands) and minimum required levels

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as
follows.
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents,
Federal Home Loan Bank stock, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable
and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or
deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on
market prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available, on the
rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate
loans, deposits, and borrowings and for variable rate loans, deposits, and
borrowings with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on
discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life
and credit risk. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the
current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such
arrangements.
