NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Macatawa Bank Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Macatawa Bank, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Macatawa Bank Mortgage Company; and Macatawa Investment Services, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company also owns all of the common stock of Macatawa Statutory Trust I and Macatawa Statutory Trust II. These are grantor trusts that issued trust preferred securities and are not consolidated with the Company per FASB Interpretation No. 46.

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report containing financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

All per share amounts and average shares outstanding have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the 15% stock dividend distributed on May 27, 2005, and the 5% stock dividend distributed on May 28, 2004.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Stock Compensation: Employee compensation expense under stock option plans is reported using the intrinsic value method. No compensation cost related to stock options was recognized during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. Had compensation cost for stock options been measured using the fair value method, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below (dollars in thousands, except per share data). The pro forma effect may increase in the future if more options are granted.

Diluted earnings per share as reported    .53    .21    1.47    .81  
Pro forma diluted earnings per share    .53    .20    1.45    .79  

The Company’s stock compensation plan allows for the issuance of restricted stock awards. Compensation expense is based upon the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and is recognized over the vesting period of the awards. During the third quarter of 2005, 5,000 shares of common stock were awarded under the plan. These shares vested immediately upon grant. Compensation expense for this award amounted to $176,000 and was fully recorded in the third quarter. There was no compensation expense for stock awards in 2004.

Recently-Issued Standards Not Yet Adopted:

FAS 123, Revised, requires all public companies to record compensation cost for stock options provided to employees in return for employee service. The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employee service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. As amended, this will apply to awards granted or modified beginning with the first quarter of 2006. Compensation cost will also be recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption. The effect on results of operations will depend on the level of future option grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such future date, as well as the vesting periods provided, and so cannot currently be predicted. Existing options that will vest after the adoption date are not expected to result in significant additional compensation expense. There will be no significant effect on financial position as total equity will not change.

For unrealized losses on available for sale securities, no loss has been recognized into income because management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future and the declines are largely due to differences in market interest rates as compared to those of the underlying securities. The declines in fair value are considered temporary and are expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date.

NOTE 7 – CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries periodically become defendants in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.

On July 8, 2003, the Company filed a Form 8-K (dated July 1, 2003) with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting events related to a former trust customer, Trade Partners, Inc. (“Trade Partners”), of the former Grand Bank, which the Company acquired effective April 1, 2002. Trade Partners was involved in purchasing and selling interests in viaticals, which are interests in life insurance policies of the terminally ill or elderly. Beginning in 1996, Grand Bank served as a custodian and escrow agent with respect to viaticals purchased by Trade Partners and sold to investors. Two lawsuits were filed, one in December 2002 and another in March 2003, against Trade Partners, Grand Bank and the Company alleging that Grand Bank breached certain escrow agreements related to viatical settlement contracts. Both of these lawsuits have been dismissed although the plaintiffs reserved the right to pursue the claims in the future. A third lawsuit was filed in April 2003 by two individual investors against Grand Bank, the Company, Trade Partners and certain individuals and entities associated with Trade Partners. The complaint seeks damages for the asserted breach of certain escrow agreements for which Grand Bank served as custodian and escrow agent. In May 2003 a purported class action complaint was filed against the Company alleging that Grand Bank breached escrow agreements and its fiduciary duties and violated the Michigan Uniform Securities Act with respect to the investments secured by the purported class in viaticals or in interests in limited partnerships which made loans to Trade Partners secured by viaticals. The Company has answered the complaint denying the material allegations and raising certain affirmative defenses. In late July 2005 another purported class action was filed against the Company by the counsel to the Trade Partners receiver making allegations similar to those in the first class action, but on behalf of a class which the suit claims comprises all persons who made any kind of investment with Trade Partners. The Company has answered the complaint denying the material allegations and raising certain affirmative defenses. Management believes the Company has strong defenses and will vigorously defend the cases.

Trade Partners is now in receivership. The supervising court authorized the receiver to borrow money from Macatawa Bank to pay premiums, if needed. Macatawa Bank extended a $4 million line of credit to the receiver, conditioned upon obtaining a security interest in the viaticals. No draws were made against the line, and the line expired during the fourth quarter of 2004.

It is possible that one or more additional legal actions may be initiated involving the custodial and escrow agent services provided by Grand Bank in connection with Trade Partners. If any such legal actions are commenced, the Company intends to defend them vigorously. To the extent any pending or future claims allege errors or omissions on the part of Grand Bank or Macatawa Bank, management believes that some or all liability, if any is proven or established, will be covered by errors and omissions insurance maintained by Grand Bank and Macatawa Bank. The Company has reported the Trade Partners matter to its two insurance carriers. One carrier has assumed the Company’s defense and has advanced a portion of its defense costs pursuant to a reservation of rights letter asserting certain coverage defenses, and an Interim Funding Agreement. The other carrier has taken the position that the duty of defense rests solely with the first carrier, and reserves its rights with respect to indemnity.

The legal actions involving Trade Partners have not progressed to trial and the outcome of such actions is uncertain. While we are therefore unable to determine at this time whether or to what extent these actions may impact the Company, the Company believes it has strong defenses and fully intends to defend any and all such actions vigorously.

NOTE 8 – HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company has asset/liability management policies that include guidelines for measuring and monitoring interest rate risk. Within these guidelines, parameters have been established for maximum fluctuations in net interest income. Possible fluctuations are measured and monitored using simulation modeling. The policies provide for the use of derivative instruments and hedging activities to aid in managing interest rate risk to within the policy parameters.

The Company’s assets are comprised of a large portion of loans on which the interest rates are variable. As such, the Company may periodically enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates. Interest rate swap arrangements may be utilized to hedge against these fluctuations in cash flows.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap arrangements (“swaps”), all of which are classified as cash flow hedges that convert the variable rate cash inflows on certain of its loans to fixed rates of interest. These swaps pay interest to the Company at a fixed rate and require interest payments from the Company at a variable rate. All of these swaps were fully effective during 2004 and the first nine months of 2005. It is anticipated that approximately $465,000, net of tax, of net unrealized losses on these cash flow hedges will be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months.

NOTE 9 — 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 the Bank is only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits; and if the Bank is undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.

At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, actual capital levels and minimum required levels were (in thousands):

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

Macatawa Bank Corporation is a Michigan corporation and is the holding company for two wholly owned subsidiaries, Macatawa Bank and Macatawa Investment Services, Inc. and for two trusts, Macatawa Statutory Trust I and Macatawa Statutory Trust II. Macatawa Bank Corporation is a financial holding company pursuant to Title I of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Macatawa Bank is a Michigan chartered bank with depository accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The bank operates twenty-three branch offices and a lending and operational service facility, providing a full range of commercial and consumer banking and trust services in Kent County, Ottawa County, and northern Allegan County, Michigan. Macatawa Investment Services is a broker/dealer that provides various services including discount brokerage, personal financial planning, and consultation regarding mutual funds and annuities. Macatawa Statutory Trusts I and II are grantor trusts and issued $20.0 million each of pooled trust preferred securities. These trusts are not consolidated in the Corporation’s financial statements. For further information regarding consolidation, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. Macatawa Bank Mortgage Company, a subsidiary of Macatawa Bank, originates and sells residential mortgage loans into the secondary market on a servicing released basis.

While maintaining asset quality and improving profitability, we have experienced rapid and substantial growth since opening Macatawa Bank in November of 1997. We first became profitable in 1999 and have increased earnings each year since then with 2004 net income reaching $12.8 million. Since our inception in 1997, we have raised approximately $100.6 million in capital through private and public common stock offerings and trust preferred offerings to facilitate our growth and progress over these years.

We believe that growth in core deposits is key to our long-term success and is our primary funding source for asset growth. Establishing a branching network in our markets has been of high importance in order to facilitate this core deposit growth. We have gained community awareness and acceptance in our markets through this expanding branch network and our high service quality standards.

The West Michigan markets within which we operate continue to provide significant expansion opportunities for us. We opened our tenth branch in the Kent County market on the north side of the greater Grand Rapids area during the second quarter of 2005. Because of the significance of the greater Grand Rapids market and the great opportunity for market share growth, we anticipate additional branch openings in this market. We also continue to enjoy success in building new and existing relationships in both our Holland/Zeeland and Grand Haven markets. We anticipate that we will continue to experience growth in our balance sheet and in our earnings due to these expansion opportunities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary: Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was $5.6 million, an increase of 162% as compared to third quarter 2004 net income of $2.1 million. Earnings per share on a diluted basis were $.53 for the third quarter of 2005 compared to $.21 for the same period in 2004. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $15.4 million compared to $8.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Earnings per share on a diluted basis were $1.47 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $.81 for the same period in the prior year. The results for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 reflect the impact of the $2.3 million ($1.5 million after-tax, or $0.15 per share) charge to earnings related to a commercial borrower as discussed below under Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality. Without this loss in the prior year results, current quarter earnings were 53% higher than the prior year third quarter.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income totaled $16.1 million for the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $2.5 million or 18%, as compared to the third quarter of 2004. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2005 totaled $46.4 million, an increase of 24% as compared to $37.6 million for the same period in 2004. The improvement in net interest income for both the three and nine month periods was driven by a combination of strong increases in both average earning assets and net interest margin. Average earning assets increased $220.9 million to $1.70 billion for the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004, and $235.6 million to $1.64 billion for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in the prior year. The net interest margin increased 10 basis points to 3.76% for the third quarter of 2005 and 22 basis points to 3.81% for the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the same periods in the prior year.

During both the three and nine month periods, the increase in the yield on earning assets exceeded the increase in the cost of funds and is the primary reason for the increase in the net interest margin. The yield on earning assets increased by 101 basis points and 87 basis points, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The cost of funds increased by 99 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases in short-term rates that began in mid-2004 have caused an increase in the yield on our variable rate loan portfolio and are the primary reasons for the increase in the yield on earning assets. An increase in the rates paid on our deposit accounts and the rollover of time deposits at higher rates within the current rising rate environment is a large reason for the increase in the cost of funds. A shift to higher costing sources of funds that began in the first quarter of 2005 and has continued into the second and third quarters has also caused an increase in the cost of funds.

Anticipated growth in earning assets is expected to continue to increase levels of net interest income. Because of the shift in our funding sources to higher costing funds, we would expect future increases in short-term rates to have a lesser positive effect on our net interest margin than they have in recent quarters.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 decreased to $855,000 and $2,880,000, respectively, as compared to $3,900,000 and $6,565,000 for the same periods in the prior year. The decrease for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 is largely related to the $2.3 million additional provision recorded in September, 2004 for the one commercial borrower described under Portfolio Loans and Asset Quality. The amounts of loan loss provision in both the current and prior year periods were a byproduct of establishing our allowance for loan losses at levels deemed necessary in our methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance. For more information about our allowance for loan losses and our methodology for establishing its level, see the discussion below under Portfolio Loans and Asset Quality.

Noninterest Income: Noninterest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 increased to $3.7 million and $9.7 million, respectively, from $2.3 million and $7.3 million for the same periods in the prior year. Service charges on deposits increased $464,000 and $963,000 during the three and nine month periods. An overdraft privilege service implemented for deposit customers during the second quarter of 2005 continues to be well received and was the primary reason for the increase. Gains on loans sold increased $357,000 and $175,000 during the three and nine month periods. Leading into and during the third quarter of this year, mortgage rates remained at relatively low levels resulting in steady mortgage loan origination volume. Because mortgage rates have since risen, we expect loan volume and the resulting gains on sales to decline from the levels we experienced during this quarter. Other income increased $505,000 and $1,321,000 for the three and nine month periods. Part of the increase for each period was associated with the income earned on bank-owned life insurance, purchased in the fourth quarter of 2004. In addition, a $200,000 gain was realized during the second quarter of 2005 from the sale of a commercial property previously held as other real estate, and a $148,000 gain was realized during the third quarter of 2005 from the sale of a commercial property.

Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 increased to $10.7 million and $30.6 million, respectively, from $8.9 million and $26.1 million for the same periods in the prior year. Salaries and benefits, which represented the largest category of the increase, increased by $805,000 for the third quarter and $2,305,000 for the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily related to additional staffing in each line of business and in support departments consistent with growth of the Bank. The increased costs reflect our attention to properly managing and supporting our growth and our interest in creating a platform for strong future growth. Increased incentives associated with strong performance to date also contributed to the increase in salaries and benefits during both periods. Occupancy expense has increased along with our branch expansion, which included two new locations and a relocation of one of our branch sites since the second quarter of 2004. The increases in marketing and promotion, office supplies, data processing and other expenses reflect the Company’s continued investment in growth. Although we expect noninterest expense levels to generally rise with our growth, we expect to continue to improve our efficiency by better utilizing our capacity as we grow. The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2005 was 54.11% compared to 56.25% for the third quarter of 2004. We believe the additional capacity within our branch network will continue to provide future growth opportunities without significant additional costs.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Summary: Our total assets were $1.82 billion at September 30, 2005, an increase of $151.9 million from $1.67 billion at December 31, 2004. The growth in assets was primarily from an increase of $115.1 million in total portfolio loans and $21.6 million in securities available for sale. The growth in assets was funded by an increase of $106.0 million in deposits and $32.5 million of other borrowings.

23


Securities Available for Sale: Securities available for sale were $158.9 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $137.3 million at December 31, 2004. The increase reflects our interest in diversifying our asset base and was primarily from additional U.S. Government Agency securities.

Portfolio Loans and Asset Quality: Total portfolio loans were $1.51 billion at September 30, 2005 compared to $1.40 billion at December 31, 2004. Of the $115.1 million in growth during the first nine months of 2005, $97.9 million or 88% was from our commercial loan portfolios. Commercial and commercial real estate loans accounted for approximately 74% of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 2005 and approximately 73% at December 31, 2004. Consumer loans comprised 11% of the portfolio, while residential mortgage loans were 15% of total loans at September 30, 2005.

The loan growth we have experienced continues to reflect the acceptance of our community banking philosophy in the communities we serve. During the third quarter of 2005, loans grew approximately $42.0 million after $43.7 million of growth in the second quarter and $29.4 million of growth in the first quarter of 2005. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004 we began to see increasing pricing pressures from other competitors and although those pressures continue we are beginning to see an improving economy in West Michigan and accordingly, we have seen recent signs of favorable new business activity among our business customers. We expect our growth rates to continue for the remainder of 2005.

At the end of the third quarter of 2004, we recorded an additional $2.3 million provision for loan losses against earnings and a related $2.8 million charge-off related to one commercial loan borrower which had become impaired. As of September 30, 2005, the remaining balance of loans and foreclosed properties related to this borrower amounted to $1.4 million. We feel this remaining balance is fully collectible.

Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonperforming loans, foreclosed assets and repossessed assets. Our nonperforming loans include loans on non-accrual status, restructured loans, as well as loans delinquent more than 90 days, but still accruing. Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans. Non-performing loans to total loans declined to 0.24% at September 30, 2005 from 0.29% at December 31, 2004 and nonperforming assets declined to 0.28% at September 30, 2005 from 0.35% at December 31, 2004. The majority of the balance that remained in foreclosed assets at September 30, 2005 related to the nonperforming commercial borrower described above. This property was sold in October, 2005 at its carrying value of $1.2 million.

The following table shows the composition and amount of our nonperforming assets.

(Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2005 December 31, 2004


Nonaccrual loans     $ 3,373   $ 3,249  
Loans 90 days past due and still accruing    192    772  


     Total nonperforming loans    3,565    4,021  
Foreclosed assets    1,617    1,850  
Repossessed assets    15    -  


Total nonperforming assets   $ 5,197   $ 5,871  


   
Nonperforming loans to total loans    0.24 %  0.29 %
Nonperforming assets to total assets    0.29 %  0.35 %

Allowance for loan losses: The allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2005 was $20.5 million, or 1.36% of total portfolio loans, compared to $19.3 million, or 1.38% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2004. The increase in the allowance was the result of a $2,880,000 provision for loan losses offset by net charge-offs for the nine month period. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 totaled $1,605,000 as compared to $4,058,000 for the same period in 2004. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.15% on an annualized basis for the nine months of 2005 compared to 0.43% for the first nine months of 2004. The decrease is directly related to the $2.8 million charge-off associated with the commercial borrower described above.

24


Our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers appropriate based upon our regular, quarterly assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our methodology for measuring the appropriate level of allowance relies on several key elements, which include specific allowances for loans considered impaired, a formula allowance for graded loans, and general allocations based on historical trends for pools of similar loan types.

Specific allowances are established in cases where senior credit management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to an individually impaired credit that we believe indicates the probability that a loss has been incurred. This amount is determined by methods prescribed by SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”. The specific allowance for impaired loans was $243,000 at September 30, 2005 and $923,000 at December 31, 2004. The decline in the specific allowance for impaired loans relates primarily to the transfer of the nonperforming loan discussed above to foreclosed assets during the first quarter of 2005 and the overall reduction of other impaired loans with specific reserves during the period.

The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans based on the internal risk grade of such loans. We use a loan rating method based upon an eight point system. Loans are assigned a loss allocation factor for each loan classification category. The lower the grading assigned to a loan category, the greater the allocation percentage that is applied. Changes in risk grade of both performing and nonperforming loans affect the amount of the formula allowance. Because of the relatively unseasoned nature of our loan portfolio and the rapid loan growth we have experienced since inception, our actual historical loan loss experience remains limited. Accordingly, our loss factors are primarily based upon our analysis of the banking industry’s historical loan loss experience, including the historical loan loss experience within the current markets we operate. These factors are monitored against our loss experience as our portfolios’ age, and may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the analysis date. The formula allowance was $18.5 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $16.4 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in the formula allowance for the period is associated with the continuing growth in the commercial loan portfolio and a slight downward migration of loan ratings for the commercial loan portfolio.

Groups of homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, open- and closed-end consumer loans, etc., receive general allowance allocations based on loss trends. In lieu of an established loan loss trend for Macatawa Bank, we use historical loss trends based on industry experience and peers in determining an adequate allowance for probable losses associated with these pools of loans. General economic and business conditions, credit quality trends, collateral values, seasoning of the portfolios and recent loss experience are conditions considered in connection with allocation factors for these similar pools of loans. The general allowance was $1.8 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2004.

Deposits and Other Borrowings: Total deposits increased $106.0 million to $1.46 billion at September 30, 2005 compared to $1.35 billion at December 31, 2004. During the second quarter of 2005, one large business relationship put to use a large portion of their deposit balances which we anticipated would occur sometime during 2005. Accordingly, we experienced a large decline in the balance of our money market accounts. This decline was offset by an increase in the balance of noninterest-bearing checking accounts and certificates of deposit since December 31, 2004.

We continue to establish new core deposit customers as evidenced by the $23.6 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposit balances in 2005. The increase in certificates of deposit of $169.2 million includes an increase in balances from our core deposit customers, as market rates on these deposit types have increased from historic lows and become more attractive. The increase in certificates of deposit also includes an increase in brokered deposits to help support our asset growth. In addition, during this quarter total core deposits increased $63.0 million. With our continued focus on quality customer service, the desire of customers to deal with a local bank, and the convenience of our expanding branch network, we expect continued growth in our core deposits.

25


The increase in other borrowings of $32.5 million is related to a $9.3 million increase in Federal funds purchased and a $23.2 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The increases were to help offset the decline in deposit balances associated with the one large business relationship noted above, and also to support the asset growth we experienced during the first nine months of 2005.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Capital Resources: Total shareholders’ equity increased $10.26 million during the first nine months of 2005 to $139.33 million at September 30, 2005.

Net income generated during the first nine months of 2005 of $15.35 million was partially offset by cash dividends of $4.39 million, or $.43 per share. We began paying cash dividends at the end of 2000 and have increased the amount of the dividend each year since then. It is anticipated that we will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. We have also paid a stock dividend each year beginning in 2001. On April 21, 2005, a 15% stock dividend was announced, representing our fifth consecutive annual stock dividend and was paid on May 27, 2005 to shareholders of record as of May 11, 2005. This 15% dividend was higher than our normal 5% dividend of the last two years. The extra 10% was added to this year’s dividend in response to the strong financial performance of the Company. All per share and average share information in this report has been adjusted to reflect the effect of these dividends.

The change in accumulated other comprehensive income was due to a decrease in both the market value of securities available for sale and the derivative instruments associated with the Company’s interest rate swap arrangements due principally to the general rise in interest rates during the first nine months of 2005. For more information regarding our interest rate swap arrangements see the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our total capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.0 and 11.1%, respectively. Our Tier 1 Capital as a percent of average assets was 8.5% at September 30, 2005 and 8.3% at December 31, 2004. Both ratios continue to be maintained at levels in excess of the regulatory minimums for well capitalized institutions. The ratios remained stable since the beginning of the year as our strong earnings during the quarter kept pace with the growth in our assets.

Liquidity: The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to measure and monitor a variety of sources and uses of funds. Our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows categorize these sources and uses into operating, investing and financing activities. We primarily focus on developing access to a variety of borrowing sources to supplement our deposit gathering activities and provide funds for growing our investment and loan portfolios. Our sources of liquidity include our borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank and federal funds purchased lines with our correspondent banks, loan payments by our borrowers, maturity and sales of our securities available for sale, growth of our deposits and deposit equivalents, federal funds sold, and the various capital resources discussed above. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of our customers. Our customers may be either borrowers with credit needs or depositors wanting to withdraw funds. We feel our liquidity position is sufficient to meet these needs.

Forward Looking Statements

This report includes “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the securities laws. All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and strategies are forward-looking statements. In addition, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The presentation and discussion of the provision and allowance for loan losses, statements concerning future profitability or future growth or increases, and statements about the adequacy of our capital resources are examples of inherently forward looking statements in that they involve judgments and statements of belief as to the outcome of future events. Our 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 our operations and our future prospects 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 our 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 us and our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk Analysis

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. Macatawa Bank has only limited agricultural-related loan assets, and therefore has no significant exposure to changes in commodity prices. Our market risk exposure is mainly comprised of our sensitivity to interest rate risk. Our balance sheet has sensitivity, in various categories of assets and liabilities, to changes in prevailing rates in the U.S. for prime rate, mortgage rates, U.S. Treasury rates and various money market indexes. Our asset/liability management process aids us in providing liquidity while maintaining a balance between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

We utilize a simulation model as our primary tool to assess the direction and magnitude of variations in net interest income and the economic value of equity (“EVE”) resulting from potential changes in market interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include contractual cash flows and maturities of interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities, prepayment speeds on certain assets, and changes in market conditions impacting loan and deposit pricing. We also include pricing floors on discretionary priced liability products which limit how low various checking and savings products could go under declining interest rates. These floors reflect our pricing philosophy in response to changing interest rates.

We forecast the next twelve months of net interest income under an assumed environment of gradual changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. The resulting change in net interest income is an indication of the sensitivity of our earnings to directional changes in market interest rates. The simulation also measures the change in EVE, or the net present value of our assets and liabilities, under the same shifts in interest rates, as calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using a market-based discount rate.

27


The following table shows the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income over the next twelve months and EVE based on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 (dollars in thousands).

Interest Rate Scenario Economic Value of Equity Percent Change Net Interest Income Percent Change
                     
Interest rates up 200 basis points   $ 172,865    (6.69 )% $ 70,293    6.38 %
Interest rates up 100 basis points    180,291    (2.69 )  68,170    3.17  
No change in interest rates    185,268    ---    66,077    ---  
Interest rates down 100 basis points    190,218    2.67    64,057    (3.06 )
Interest rates down 200 basis points    195,095    5.30    61,521    (6.89 )

If interest rates were to increase, this analysis suggests that we are well-positioned for improvements in net interest income over the next twelve months. Further, our balanced sensitivity in time horizons beyond one year results in little fluctuation in EVE under the various rate shock scenarios.

We also forecast the impact of immediate and parallel interest rate shocks on net interest income under various scenarios to measure the sensitivity of our earnings under extreme conditions.

The quarterly simulation analysis is monitored against acceptable interest rate risk parameters by the Asset/Liability Committee and reported to the Board of Directors.

In addition to changes in interest rates, the level of future net interest income is also dependent on a number of other variables, including: the growth, composition and absolute levels of loans, deposits, and other earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; economic and competitive conditions; potential changes in lending, investing and deposit gathering strategies; and client preferences.

Item 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

  (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company would be made known to them by others within the company, particularly during the period in which this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report was being prepared.

  (b) Changes in Internal Controls. During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Please refer to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, (Part II, Item 1 Legal Proceedings) for information concerning legal proceedings related to Trade Partners, Inc.

A lawsuit was filed in April 2003 by John and Kathryn Brand in Oklahoma state court against Grand Bank, the Company, Trade Partners and certain individuals and entities associated with Trade Partners. The complaint seeks damages for the asserted breach of certain escrow agreements for which Grand Bank served as custodian and escrow agent. The Company and Grand Bank have answered this complaint, denying the material allegations and raising certain affirmative defenses. The trial court had entered an order in February 2005 staying this case, but the stay order was reversed on appeal in May 2005. No trial date has yet been set.

In May 2003, a purported class action complaint was filed by Forrest W. Jenkins and Russell S. Vail against the Company and against LaSalle Bank Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Western Michigan. The purported class included investors who invested in limited liability companies formed by Trade Partners. On November 6, 2003, the court permitted the plaintiffs to amend their complaint to expand the purported class to include all individuals who invested in Trade Partners viatical investments. The class has not been certified. The court had stayed this action to avoid interference with the process of the receivership proceedings, but the stay was lifted in July 2005. The plaintiffs allege that Grand Bank breached certain escrow agreements, breached its fiduciary duties, acted negligently or grossly negligently with respect to the plaintiff’s investments and violated the Michigan Uniform Securities Act. The amended complaint seeks certification of the action as a class action, unspecified damages and other relief. The Company has answered this complaint denying the material allegations and raising certain affirmative defenses.

In late July 2005 counsel to the Trade Partners Receiver filed another purported class action on behalf of Kelly Priest and certain trusts controlled by Gary Towle and his wife, making substantially the same allegations as in the Jenkins complaint but on behalf of a class which is asserted to comprise all investors who are holders of allowed claims in the Trade Partners receivership, described below. The Company has answered this complaint denying the material allegations and raising certain affirmative defenses.

The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend these cases.

On April 15, 2003, the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan appointed a receiver for Trade Partners. In order to prevent or minimize any loss to investors in the viaticals sold by Trade Partners to investors, the court-appointed receiver has been coordinating the payment of premiums on the approximately 1,000 outstanding viaticated insurance policies in the Trade Partners portfolio so that the policies do not lapse. The receiver informed the Company that nine policies with a total face value of approximately $1.4 million lapsed for failure to pay premiums prior to the receiver’s coordination efforts. In addition, about $700,000 is being contested as to lapses.

The receiver has received court permission to pool the death benefits of any of the Trade Partners viaticated policies that mature and use the benefits to pay premiums on other viaticated policies. As of July 15, 2005, the Receiver reported that he had received since the inception of the receivership cash payments for death benefit claims aggregating about $26.7 million, and had claims pending for an additional $6.0 million (though other parties assert claims to some of these proceeds). He reported at the same time that all premium payments were current. As of July 15, 2005, the receiver reported cash on hand of approximately $11.0 million. As additional viaticated policies mature, death benefits from those policies could provide a source of funding for continued premium payments.

In addition, on July 1, 2003, the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan authorized the receiver to borrow money from Macatawa Bank to pay premiums, if needed. Macatawa Bank agreed to extend a $4 million line of credit to the receiver, conditioned upon obtaining a security interest in the viaticals. No draws were made against the line, and the line expired during the fourth quarter of 2004.

29


The receiver in June 2004 proposed a plan of distribution of the assets of Trade Partners. No hearing has yet been set on the plan. The receiver has recently received authorization from the Court to sell the entire portfolio with a face value of approximately $170 million to Universal Settlements International, Inc., a Canadian company, for an amount equal to 26.58% of face value or approximately $43 million. The receiver had previously indicated that, depending on the outcome of the motion to sell the portfolio, he might propose a new plan of distribution, but to date no such plan has been proposed. The receiver reported as of July 15, 2005 that claims against the receivership estate totaling $127,017,294 have been approved, and reported that active claims totaled $174,866,077.

The Company has no information on the amount of distributions the receiver may propose to make to investors, or when such distributions might begin.

It is possible that one or more additional legal actions may be initiated involving the custodial and escrow agent services provided by Grand Bank in connection with Trade Partners. If any such legal actions are commenced, the Company intends to defend them vigorously. To the extent any pending or future claims allege errors or omissions on the part of Grand Bank or Macatawa Bank, Management believes that some or all liability, if any is proven or established, will be covered by errors and omissions insurance maintained by Grand Bank and Macatawa Bank. The Company has reported the Trade Partners matter to its two insurance carriers. One carrier has assumed the Company’s defense and has advanced a portion of its defense costs pursuant to a reservation of rights letter asserting certain coverage defenses, and an Interim Funding Agreement. The other carrier has taken the position that the duty of defense rests solely with the first carrier, and reserves its rights with respect to indemnity pursuant to a reservation letter asserting certain coverage defenses.

As of the date hereof, except as disclosed above, there were no material pending legal proceedings, other than routine litigation incidental to the business of banking to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party of or which any of our properties are the subject.
