NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Macatawa Bank, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Macatawa Bank Mortgage Company. 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 month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report containing financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.

All per share amounts and average shares outstanding have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the 5% stock dividend to be distributed on May 30, 2007, the 5% stock dividend distributed on May 30, 2006 and the 3-for-2 stock split distributed on June 29, 2006.

Stock Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, the Company has recorded stock-based compensation cost using the fair value method starting in 2006. For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded compensation cost for stock options of $117,000, or $106,000 after tax, representing $0.01 per share. For the three month period ended March 31, 2006 the Company recorded compensation cost for stock options of $188,000, or $147,000 after tax, representing $0.01 per share.

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. The Company recorded compensation expense of $37,000 for restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2007. There was no compensation expense recorded for restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

New Accounting Pronouncements: The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2002. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at March 31, 2007.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities. Adoption of this statement is required for January 1, 2008. Early adoption was allowed, effective to January 1, 2007, if that election was made by April 30, 2007. This statement allows, but does not require, companies to record certain assets and liabilities at their fair value. The fair value determination is made at the instrument level, so similar assets or liabilities could be partially accounted for using the historical cost method, while other similar assets or liabilities are accounted for using the fair value method. Changes in fair value are recorded through the income statement in subsequent periods. The statement provides for a one time opportunity to transfer existing assets and liabilities to fair value at the point of adoption with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded against equity. After adoption, the election to report assets or liabilities at fair value must be made at the point of their inception. We have not yet determined which, if any, assets or liabilities we may determine to report using the fair value accounting method. As such, we have not determined the impact that the adoption of this statement may have on our financial statement.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION

On January 1, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of Benj. A. Smith & Associates, Ltd. (“Smith & Associates”).

Under the terms of the transaction, Smith & Associates was merged into the Company in exchange for 143,783 shares of common stock. The Company in turn contributed the business to Macatawa Bank. The value of the common stock was based on the average closing price during the month of September 2006 ($21.91 per share). Share and per share amounts have been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend to be distributed on May 30, 2007.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, customer relationship intangibles valued at $1,920,000 are being amortized under the straight line method over its estimated useful life. The resulting goodwill was $2,004,000 which will be assessed annually for impairment, with any subsequent impairment recognized in the income statement.

Under the terms of the transaction, one $300,000 contingent payment will also be made if revenue from transferred account balances, principal additions to transferred account balances generated by Mr. Smith and new accounts generated by Mr. Smith exceeds $1,600,000 in 2007 and an additional $300,000 contingent payment will be paid if such revenue exceeds $1,700,000 in 2008. The contingent payments will be paid in the form of common stock of Macatawa Bank Corporation.

For unrealized losses on 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.

Contractual maturities of debt securities at March 31, 2007 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 9 – 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 claims against Grand Bank and the Company in this lawsuit have been settled and dismissed with prejudice. In May 2003 a purported class action complaint was filed against the Company. As amended, this suit alleges that Grand Bank breached escrow agreements and fiduciary duties and violated the Michigan Uniform Securities Act with respect to the investments secured by the purported class in viaticals and in interests in limited partnerships which made loans to Trade Partners secured by viaticals, and with respect to loans made by purported class members directly to Trade Partners. The Company has answered the complaint denying the material allegations and raising certain affirmative defenses. In November 2006 the court denied class certification in this case. The Company believes that the class action, if it had been approved by the court, might have involved as many as 2,000 to 3,000 individual claimants. Since that denial of class certification, nine new actions, none of which is a class action, raising substantially the same allegations as the former class action have been filed in several jurisdictions on behalf of approximately 1,300 Trade Partners investors. 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. Federal Insurance Company 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. Federal Insurance Company on July 21, 2006 notified the Company that it had filed an Arbitration Demand with the American Arbitration Association, seeking a declaration that based on its asserted coverage defenses its policy does not cover this matter. The Company and Federal Insurance Company have agreed to defer any proceedings with respect to this Arbitration Demand. The Company believes that Federal Insurance Company is obligated to provide coverage, and the Company intends to vigorously pursue its rights under the insurance policy. 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 10 – HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company’s asset/liability management policy includes 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 analysis. 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 2006 and the first three months of 2007. At March 31, 2007, it is anticipated that approximately $461,000, net of tax, of net unrealized losses on these cash flow hedges will be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months.

Summary information about interest rate swaps were as follows (dollars in thousands).

NOTE 11 — 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 March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, 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 a wholly owned subsidiary, Macatawa Bank 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-five branch offices and a lending and operational service facility, providing a full range of commercial and consumer banking and trust and brokerage services in Kent County, Ottawa County, and northern Allegan County, Michigan. As also more fully discussed in the company’s Form 8-K dated October 11, 2006, Macatawa Bank Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Smith & Associates investment advisory firm based in Holland, Michigan. The Smith & Associates acquisition became effective on January 1, 2007 and that business is now part of Macatawa Bank. 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 annual earnings have generally increased since then with 2006 net income of $19.8 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 quality service standards.

The West Michigan markets within which we operate continue to provide significant expansion opportunities for us. We opened our twenty-fifth branch on the east side of the greater Grand Rapids area during the first quarter of 2007. 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 March 31, 2007 was $4.8 million, a decrease of 7% as compared to first quarter 2006 net income of $5.2 million. Earnings per share on a diluted basis were $0.28 for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $0.30 for the same period in 2006.

The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income and increases in the loan loss provision and noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income totaled $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2007, a decrease of $255,000, or 2%, as compared to the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in net interest income was from a decline in the net interest margin partially offset by an increase in average earning assets. Average earning assets increased $193.4 million, or 11%, to $1.94 billion for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $1.74 billion for the first quarter of 2006. The net interest margin decreased 43 basis points to 3.35% for the first quarter of 2007 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

The increase in the cost of funds exceeded the increase in the yield on earning assets and is the primary reason for the decrease in the net interest margin. The yield on earning assets increased by 28 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The cost of funds increased 74 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increases in short-term rates that began in mid-2004 and continued through June of 2006 caused an increase in the yield on our variable rate loan portfolio. The addition of new loans at generally higher rates over these periods also contributed to the increase. The increase in the yield on earning assets, however, has stabilized over the past few quarters primarily because loan customers have preferred fixed rate products over variable rate products. Fixed rate products have been priced lower than their variable rate counterparts due to the nature of the interest rate environment that has existed since June 2006 in which long-term rates have been lower than shorter-term rates. An increase in the rates paid on our deposit accounts, the rollover of time deposits at higher rates and a shift to higher costing sources of funds are the primary reasons for the increase in the cost of funds. The rates paid on time deposits and other rate sensitive products have reached attractive levels causing deposit customers to shift funds from transaction accounts, primarily non-interest demand and money market accounts, into these higher rate accounts.

Anticipated growth in earning assets is expected to continue to increase levels of net interest income. We do, however, expect the current interest rate environment, in which long-term rates remain at or below short-term rates, to place continued pressure on our net interest margin.

The following table shows an analysis of net interest margin for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 was $875,000 compared to $700,000 for the same period in the prior year. The provision for loan losses was up primarily due to higher levels of net charge-offs in the current three month period ended when compared to the same period in the prior year. The amounts of loan loss provision in both the current and prior year period 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 month period ended March 31, 2007 was $3.7 million, an increase of $541,000, or 17%, from $3.2 million for the same period in the prior year. An increase in trust fee income of $371,000 was the primary reason for the increase. The majority of the increase in trust fees is related to the impact of customer relationships added from the Smith & Associates acquisition on January 1, 2007. Also contributing to the increase in noninterest income was an additional $92,000 in ATM/Debit card fees from an increase in card usage. Revenue from other sources including service charges on deposits and gains on loans sold increased commensurate with growth in related activity accounts.

Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 increased to $11.8 million from $11.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase includes small increases in each category of non-interest expense, including operating costs associated with the acquisition of Smith & Associates on January 1 and the opening of three new facilities during the quarter. In addition, the $273,000 increase in other expenses includes an increase of $176,000 in additional FDIC assessments related to a change in the FDIC assessment rate for all banks effective January 1. Although we expect noninterest expense levels to generally rise with our growth, we expect efficiency to improve by better utilizing our capacity as we grow. We believe the additional capacity within our branch network will continue to provide future growth opportunities without significant additional costs.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Summary: Total assets were $2.12 billion at March 31, 2007, an increase of $45.2 million from $2.07 billion at December 31, 2006. The growth in assets was primarily from an increase of $37.7 million in fed funds sold and $10.0 million in total portfolio loans, primarily funded by an increase in borrowed funds of $63.6 million.

Securities Available for Sale: Securities available for sale were $195.6 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $198.5 million at December 31, 2006. The calls of two U.S. Government Agency bonds were partially offset by the purchase of a U.S. Government Agency bond.

Portfolio Loans and Asset Quality: Total portfolio loans were $1.72 billion at March 31, 2007 compared to $1.71 billion at December 31, 2006. Commercial loans continue to lead our loan portfolio growth. Of the $10.0 million in growth during the first three months of 2007, $16.4 million was from our commercial loan portfolios, which was offset by a decline of $6.1 million in our consumer loan portfolio. Commercial and commercial real estate loans accounted for approximately 76% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2007 and approximately 75% at December 31, 2006.

A further breakdown of the composition of commercial real estate loans is shown in the table below (in thousands):

	March 31, 2007		December 31, 2006


Construction/Land Development	$	343,807	$	360,372
Farmland and Agriculture		35,231		37,426
Nonfarm, Nonresidential		459,266		439,436
Multi-family		38,374		38,483

Total Commercial Real Estate Loans	$	876,678	$	875,717

Approximately 59% of the balance in the construction and land development category and approximately 91% of the balance in the multi-family category were comprised of non-owner occupied loans at March 31, 2007. Approximately two-thirds of the balance in the construction and land development category and the entire balance in the multi-family category were comprised of non-owner occupied loans at December 31, 2006.

Residential mortgage loans comprised 13% of the portfolio, while consumer loans were 11% of total loans at March 31, 2007.

The slower loan growth in the recent quarter reflects continued softness in the West Michigan economy and our interest in maintaining the quality of our loan portfolio.

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. Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 0.99% at March 31, 2007 from 1.30% at December 31, 2006. The balance of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2007 primarily relates to commercial and residential real estate customers whom have been affected by the soft real estate market in West Michigan. Nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2007 were comprised of a number of smaller commercial and residential real estate relationships for which we are considered to be well collateralized or adequately reserved. The balance in renegotiated loans at March 31, 2007 was comprised of one commercial loan relationship that was restructured with a reduced interest rate for a period of one year. Foreclosed assets at March 31, 2007 is comprised of a number of smaller commercial and residential properties for which carrying values are considered to be fully collectible. The balance of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2006 included one large commercial relationship totaling approximately $15.2 million. Approximately $10.5 million from this relationship was renewed in January of 2007 and returned to a performing status. The remaining $4.7 million relates to the restructured loan at March 31, 2007.

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

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2007		December 31, 2006


Nonaccrual loans	$	11,022	$	5,811
Renegotiated loans		4,767		-
Loans 90 days past due and still accruing		1,196		16,479

Total nonperforming loans		16,985		22,290
Foreclosed assets		3,821		3,212
Repossessed assets		70		81

Total nonperforming assets	$	20,876	$	25,583


Nonperforming loans to total loans		0.99%		1.30%
Nonperforming assets to total assets		0.98%		1.23%

Allowance for loan losses: The allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2007 was $23.7 million, or 1.38% of total portfolio loans, compared to $23.3 million, or 1.36% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2006. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $445,000 as compared to $300,000 for the same period in 2006. The ratio of annualized net charge-off to average loans was 0.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 0.08% for the same period in 2006.

Our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered 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, formula allowance for graded loans, general allocations based on historical trends for pools of similar loan types and under certain circumstances, an unallocated reserve related to current market conditions that are pertinent to certain aspects of the loan portfolio.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, regulatory authorities reached a conceptual consensus on the method for determining the allowance. In addition to reaffirming the importance of experience grounded, objectively determinable amounts, they acknowledged the appropriateness of considering other subjective factors in determining the proper level of the allowance. We believe our process conforms to this guidance.

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 $626,000 at March 31, 2007 and $400,000 at December 31, 2006.

The allowance allocated to commercial loans that are not considered to be impaired 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 grade assigned to a loan category, the greater the allocation percentage that is applied. Changes in risk grade of loans affect the amount of the allowance allocation. Our loan portfolio has grown rapidly since our inception. As a result, a significant portion of our loan portfolio remains relatively unseasoned and our actual historical loan loss experience is limited. Accordingly, the determination of our loss factors includes consideration of the banking industry’s historical loan loss experience by loan type and the historical loan loss experience within our geographic markets, as well as our own loan loss experience and trends. These factors are regularly monitored and adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the analysis date. The commercial loan allowance was $21.2 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $21.0 million at December 31, 2006 and increased primarily in response to the continuing growth in the commercial loan portfolio.

Groups of homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, open- and closed-end consumer loans, etc., receive allowance allocations based on loan type. As with commercial loans, the determination of the allowance allocation percentage includes consideration of historical loss trends based on industry and peer experience as well as our historical loss experience. General economic and business conditions, credit quality and delinquency trends, collateral values, and recent loss experience are considered in connection with allocation factors for these similar pools of loans. The homogeneous loan allowance was $1.9 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2006.

Deposits and Other Borrowings: Total deposits decreased $28.2 million to $1.64 billion at March 31, 2007 compared to $1.67 billion at December 31, 2006. Brokered deposits decreased $40.6 million during the quarter and is the primary reason for the decline. An increase of $12 million in deposits within the Company’s markets and an increase in other borrowings at more attractive terms and pricing allowed the Company to reduce its reliance on brokered deposits. The growth in deposits within the Company’s markets was primarily from certificates of deposit, as deposit customers continue to prefer such accounts within the generally high rate environment. In addition, we opened over 1,000 net new checking accounts during the first three months of 2007 and we expect relationships associated with those accounts to further contribute to deposit growth. With our continued focus on quality customer service, the desire of customers to deal with a local bank, and the convenience of our expanding and maturing branch network, we expect further growth in our core transaction deposits.

The increase in other borrowed funds of $75.6 million was related to an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repo borrowings”). Since the third quarter of 2006, the bank has utilized repo borrowings as an alternative source of funds. The terms and structure of these instruments were considered more favorable compared to other alternatives and was the reason for the increase during the quarter.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Capital Resources: Total shareholders’ equity increased $6.6 million during the first three months of 2007 to $163.4 million at March 31, primarily due to the retention of earnings. Also contributing to the increase was an additional $3.1 million in capital related to the issuance of common shares for the acquisition of Smith & Associates.

Net income generated during the first three months of 2007 of $4.8 million was partially offset by cash dividends of $2.1 million, or $.12 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 19, 2007, a 5% stock dividend was announced, representing our seventh consecutive annual stock dividend, and is to be paid on May 30, 2007 to shareholders of record as of May 11, 2007. All per share and average share information in this report has been adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock dividend.

Our total capital to risk-weighted assets was 10.9% at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Our Tier 1 Capital as a percent of average assets was 8.5% at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Both ratios continue to be maintained at levels in excess of the regulatory minimums for well capitalized institutions. The ratios remained flat since the beginning of the year primarily because our earnings have 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, structured repo borrowings and federal funds purchased lines with our correspondent banks, loan payments by our borrowers, maturities 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 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 an immediate shift, or shock, in interest rates under various scenarios, as calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using market-based discount rates.

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 March 31, 2007 (dollars in thousands).

Interest Rate Scenario	Economic Value of Equity				Net Interest Income

Interest rates up 200 basis points	$	155,733	(15.81	)%	$	66,934	1.36	%
Interest rates up 100 basis points		171,102	(7.50	)		66,551	0.78
No change in interest rates		184,978	---			66,038	---
Interest rates down 100 basis points		196,189	6.06			65,416	(0.94	)
Interest rates down 200 basis points		204,795	10.71			64,720	(2.00	)

If interest rates were to increase, this analysis suggests that we are positioned for a slight improvement 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.

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 claims asserted against the Company and Grand Bank in this action have been settled and dismissed with prejudice.

In May 2003, a purported class action complaint was filed by Forrest W. Jenkins and Russell S. Vail against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Western Michigan. As amended, this suit alleges that Grand Bank breached escrow agreements and fiduciary duties and violated the Michigan Uniform Securities Act with respect to the investments secured by the purported class in viaticals and in interests in limited partnerships which made loans to Trade Partners secured by viaticals, and with respect to loans made by purported class members directly to Trade Partners. Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification was denied in November 2006. The Company has answered this complaint denying the material allegations and raising certain affirmative defenses.

Following denial of class certification in the Jenkins case, nine new cases were filed in several different jurisdictions. These complaints are identical in all material respects other than the identity of the plaintiffs, and are substantially identical to the complaint in the Jenkins litigation. None of these complaints contain class action allegations, but the total number of named plaintiffs in all the nine cases is about 1,300. The cases are: Ronald Ash, et. al. v. Macatawa Bank Corporation, et. al.—filed November 17, 2006 in the District Court for Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, subsequently removed by the Company to the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma; Steven M. Adamson, et. al. v. Macatawa Bank Corporation, et. al.—filed November 15, 2006 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma; James Lee Myers et. al. v. Macatawa Bank Corporation, et. al.—filed November 14, 2006 in the Superior Court for Los Angeles County, California, subsequently removed by the Company to the United States District Court for the Central District of California; Frank V. Bailey et. al. v. Macatawa Bank Corporation, et. al.—filed November 29, 2006 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas; Eddie Elkins, et. al. v. Macatawa Bank Corporation—filed January 29, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma; William A. Giese, et. al. v. Macatawa Bank Corporation, et. al.—filed November 17, 2006 in the Circuit Court for Kent County, Michigan; Gerald Abraham, et. al. v. Macatawa Bank Corporation, et. al.—filed November 29, 2006 in the Circuit Court for Kent County, Michigan; Jorge Acevedo, et. al. v. Macatawa Bank Corporation, et. al.—filed Decemver 17, 2006 in the Circuit Court for Kent County, Michigan; and Jose Javier Acasuso, et. al. v. Macatawa Bank Corporation, et. al.—filed January 17, 2007 in the Circuit Court for Kent County, Michigan.

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, the receiver unsuccessfully contested a partial lapse totaling about $700,000.

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 April 15, 2007, the receiver reported that he has received since the inception of the receivership cash payments for death benefit claims aggregating approximately $34.5 million. He reported at the same time that all premium payments were current. He also reported at that time that he had paid premiums on the portfolio approximating $14.0 million since the inception of the receivership. As of April 15, 2007 the receiver reported cash on hand of approximately $12 million. As additional viaticated policies mature, death benefits from those policies could provide a source of funding for continued premium payments, though the receiver’s ability to so use such benefits may be limited or eliminated by the terms of the sale of the portfolio to Universal Settlements International, Inc., described below.

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.

The receiver received authorization from the Court in July 2005 to sell the entire portfolio, which the receiver said had 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. Under the terms of the sale, payments are to be made by Universal Settlements to the receivership as policy transfers are processed by the issuing insurance companies. The receiver has reported that as of April 15, 2007 payments aggregating approximately $37.75 million had been received on policies transferred pursuant to the sale agreement.

The receiver on July 21, 2006 filed a proposed amended plan of distribution and related disclosure statement, contemplating a complete liquidation of the assets of Trade Partners. The plan was approved by the Court on January 7, 2007. The receiver reported as of January 15, 2007 that claims against the receivership estate totaling $169,430,383.85, and that all claims have now been processed.

The receiver reports that he commenced distributions on January 19, 2007, and that $43,500,000 had been distributed as of April 15, 2007. The initial distributions are approximately 26.987% of each allowed and approved claim. There may be additional distributions, but the Company does not know when they might be made or in what amount.

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. Federal Insurance Company 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. Federal Insurance Company notified the Company on July 21, 2006 that it has filed an Arbitration Demand with the American Arbitration Association, seeking a declaration that based upon its asserted coverage defenses its policy does not cover this matter. The Company and Federal Insurance Company have agreed to defer any proceedings with respect to this Arbitration Demand. The Company believes that Federal Insurance Company is obligated to provide coverage, and the Company intends to vigorously pursue its rights under the insurance policy. 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.
