Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and
projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and Macatawa Bank Corporation. Forward-looking statements are identifiable by words or phrases such as “outlook”, “plan” or “strategy” that an event or trend “could”, “may”, “should”,
“will”, “is likely”, or is “possible” or “probable” to occur or “continue”, has “begun” or “is scheduled” or “on track” or that the Company or its management “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “plans”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “predicts”,
“projects”, or “expects” a particular result, or is “committed”, “confident”, “optimistic” or has an “opinion” that an event will occur, or other words or phrases such as “ongoing”, “future”, “signs”, “efforts”, “tend”, “exploring”, “appearing”,
“until”, “near term”, “concern”, “going forward”, “focus”, “starting”, “initiative,” “trend” and variations of such words and similar expressions. Such statements are based upon current beliefs and expectations and involve substantial risks and
uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, those related to future levels of earning assets, future composition of
our loan portfolio, trends in credit quality metrics, future capital levels and capital needs, including the impact of Basel III, real estate valuation, future levels of repossessed and foreclosed properties and nonperforming assets, future levels of
losses and costs associated with the administration and disposition of repossessed and foreclosed properties and nonperforming assets, future levels of loan charge-offs, future levels of other real estate owned, future levels of provisions for loan
losses and reserve recoveries, the rate of asset dispositions, future dividends, future growth and funding sources, future cost of funds, future liquidity levels, future profitability levels, future interest rate levels, future net interest margin
levels, the effects on earnings of changes in interest rates, future economic conditions, future effects of new or changed accounting standards, future loss recoveries, loan demand and loan growth, future amounts of unrecognized tax benefits and the
future level of other revenue sources. Management’s determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the appropriate carrying value of intangible assets (including deferred tax assets) and other real estate owned, and the fair value of
investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary and the amount of any impairment) involves judgments that are inherently forward-looking. All statements with references to future
time periods are forward-looking. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. Our ability to sell other real estate owned at its carrying value or at all, successfully implement new programs and initiatives,
increase efficiencies, maintain our current levels of deposits and other sources of funding, maintain liquidity, respond to declines in collateral values and credit quality, increase loan volume, originate high quality loans, maintain or improve
mortgage banking income, realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets, continue payment of dividends and improve profitability is not entirely within our control and is not assured. The future effect of changes in the real estate, financial and
credit markets and the national and regional economy on the banking industry, generally, and Macatawa Bank Corporation, specifically, are also inherently uncertain. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions (“risk factors”) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in
such forward-looking statements. Macatawa Bank Corporation does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may arise after the date of the forward-looking statements.
Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” of this report. These and other factors are
representative of the risk factors that may emerge and could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and preceding forward-looking statements.
As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” ”Macatawa” and “Company” mean Macatawa Bank Corporation and its
subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning. The term “Bank” means Macatawa Bank.
Macatawa Bank Corporation is a Michigan corporation, incorporated in 1997, and is a registered bank holding company. It wholly-owns Macatawa Bank,
Macatawa Statutory Trust I and Macatawa Statutory Trust II. Macatawa Bank is a Michigan chartered bank with depository accounts insured by the FDIC. The Bank operates twenty-six 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 Statutory Trusts I and II are grantor trusts and have issued $20.0 million each of pooled trust
preferred securities. These trusts are not consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information regarding consolidation, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
At December 31, 2018, we had total assets of $1.98 billion, total loans of $1.41 billion, total deposits of $1.68 billion and shareholders’ equity
of $190.9 million. We recognized net income of $26.4 million in 2018 compared to net income of $16.3 million in 2017. Earnings in 2017 were reduced by $2.5 million to record the impact of tax reform enacted in 2017 on the value of the Company’s net
deferred tax assets. Earnings before income tax in 2018 and 2017 improved over their respective previous years through growth in total revenue, primarily net interest income, while holding noninterest expenses flat. As of December 31, 2018, the
Company’s and the Bank’s risk-based regulatory capital ratios were significantly above those required under the regulatory standards and the Bank continued to be categorized as “well capitalized” at December 31, 2018.
On December 22, 2017, “H.R.1”, also known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, was signed into law. This new tax law, among other items, reduces the
federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. This tax rate change reduced our federal income tax liability during 2018. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require companies to re-value their deferred tax assets
and liabilities as of the date of enactment, with resulting tax effects accounted for in the reporting period of enactment. Since the enactment took place in December 2017, we revalued our net deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2017
resulting in a $2.5 million reduction to earnings in 2017.
The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.04 per share for the first and second quarters of 2017 and $0.05 per share for the third and fourth quarters
of 2017. The Company increased the dividend to $0.06 per share for the first, second and third quarters of 2018, and to $0.07 per share for the fourth quarter of 2018.
Over the past several years, much progress has been made at reducing our nonperforming assets. The following table reflects period end balances of
these nonperforming assets as well as total loan delinquencies.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $450,000 in 2018 due to loan portfolio growth and net charge-offs during the year. Our earnings in 2017 and 2016
were favorably impacted by negative provisions for loan losses of $1.35 million and $1.35 million, respectively. The negative provisions in these periods were impacted by recoveries from our collection efforts and a continual decline in our
historical charge-off levels from prior years.
While we did experience net charge-offs in 2018, it came after we had experienced five consecutive full years of net recoveries. The following table
reflects the provision for loan losses for the past three years along with certain metrics that impact the determination of the level of the provision for loan losses.

Economic conditions in our market areas of Grand Rapids and Holland have been good during the past several years. The state of Michigan’s
unemployment rate at the end of 2018 was 3.9%. The Grand Rapids and Holland area unemployment rate was 2.5% at the end of 2018. Residential housing values and commercial real estate property values have increased in recent years.
It also appears that the housing market in our primary market area continues to be strong. In the Grand Rapids market during 2018, living unit
starts were consistent with levels experienced over the past five years. The Holland-Grand Haven/Lakeshore region showed similar results.
We experienced strong commercial loan growth in recent years. Most of our emphasis has been on growing commercial and industrial loans. These
loans have increased steadily from $449.3 million at December 31, 2016 to $513.3 million at December 31, 2018. Commercial real estate loans have increased from $518.0 million at December 31, 2016 to $568.7 million at December 31, 2018. Consumer
loans have increased from $313.5 million at December 31, 2016 to $323.6 million at December 31, 2018. We believe we are positioned for continued loan growth in 2019.
We have no material foreign loans, assets or activities. No material part of our business is dependent on a single customer or very few customers.
Our loan portfolio is not concentrated in any one industry.
Our headquarters and administrative offices are located at 10753 Macatawa Drive, Holland, Michigan 49424, and our telephone number is (616)
820-1444. Our internet website address is www.macatawabank.com. We make available free of charge through this website our annual report on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those
reports as soon as reasonably practicable after filing or furnishing such reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information on our website address is not incorporated by reference into this report, and the information on the

Products and Services
Loan Portfolio
We have historically offered a broad range of loan products to business customers, including commercial and industrial and commercial real estate
loans, and to retail customers, including residential mortgage and consumer loans. Select, well-managed loan renewal activity is taking place and we are seeing growth in our commercial and consumer loan portfolios and pipelines. Following is a
discussion of our various types of lending activities.
Commercial and Industrial Loans
Our commercial and industrial lending portfolio contains loans with a variety of purposes and security, including loans to finance operations and
equipment. Generally, our commercial and industrial lending has been limited to borrowers headquartered, or doing business, in our primary market area. These credit relationships typically require the satisfaction of appropriate loan covenants and
debt formulas, and generally require that the Bank be the primary depository bank of the business. These loan covenants and debt formulas are monitored through periodic, required reporting of accounts receivable aging schedules and financial
statements, and in the case of larger business operations, reviews or audits by independent professional firms.
Commercial and industrial loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s
business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself and economic conditions. Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate
over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
Commercial Real Estate Loans
Our commercial real estate loans consist primarily of construction and development loans and multi-family and other non-residential real estate
loans.
Construction and Development Loans. These
consist of construction loans to commercial customers for the construction of their business facilities. They also include construction loans to builders and developers for the construction of one- to four-family residences and the development of
one- to four-family lots, residential subdivisions, condominium developments and other commercial developments.
This portfolio can be affected by job losses, declines in real estate value, declines in home sale volumes, and declines in new home building.
During the past several years, we made a significant effort to reduce exposure to residential land development and other construction and development loans.
Multi-Family and Other Non-Residential Real Estate
Loans. These are permanent loans secured by multi-family and other non-residential real estate and include loans secured by apartment buildings, condominiums, small office buildings, small business facilities, medical facilities and other
non-residential building properties, substantially all of which are located within our primary market area.
Multi-family and other non-residential real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by owner occupied one- to
four-family residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income producing properties and the increased
difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of these loans is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project. For example, if leases are not obtained or renewed, or
a bankruptcy court modifies a lease term, or a major tenant is unable to fulfill its lease obligations, cash flow from the project will be reduced. If cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.
Retail Loans
Our retail loans are loans to consumers and consist primarily of residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.
Residential Mortgage Loans. We originate
construction loans to individuals for the construction of their residences and owner-occupied residential mortgage loans, which are generally long-term with either fixed or adjustable interest rates. Our general policy is to sell the majority of our
fixed rate residential mortgage loans in the secondary market due primarily to the interest rate risk associated with these loans. For 2018, we retained loans representing 66% of the total dollar volume originated, compared to 48% in 2017.
Our borrowers generally qualify and are underwritten using industry standards for quality residential mortgage loans. We do not originate loans
that are considered “sub-prime”. Residential mortgage loan originations derive from a number of sources, including advertising, direct solicitation, real estate broker referrals, existing borrowers and depositors, builders and walk-in customers.
Loan applications are accepted at most of our offices and online. The substantial majority of these loans are secured by one-to-four family properties in our market area.
Consumer Loans. We originate a variety of different types of
consumer loans, including automobile loans, home equity lines of credit and installment loans, home improvement loans, deposit account loans and other loans for household and personal purposes. We also originate home equity lines of credit utilizing
the same underwriting standards as for home equity installment loans. Home equity lines of credit are revolving line of credit loans. The majority of our existing home equity line of credit portfolio has variable rates with floors and ceilings,
interest only payments and a maximum maturity of ten years.
The underwriting standards that we employ for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and ability to meet
existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed
loan amount. Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In such cases, any
repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan collections are
dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the
amount which can be recovered on such loans.

Nonperforming Assets
Interest income totaling $1.1 million was recorded in 2018 on loans that were on a non-accrual status or classified as restructured as of December
31, 2018. Additional interest income of $211,000 would have been recorded during 2018 on these loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms. More information about the levels of nonperforming loan balances in 2016 through
2018 and our policy for placing loans on non-accrual status may be found in Item 7 of this report under the heading “Portfolio Loans and Asset Quality” included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition.”
Loans at December 31, 2018 that were classified as substandard or worse per our internal risk rating system that would cause management to have
serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms are discussed in Item 7 of this report under the heading “Portfolio Loans and Asset Quality” included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” At December 31, 2018, there were no other interest-bearing assets that would be required to be disclosed under Industry Guide 3, Item III, C. 1. or 2. if such assets were loans.
Loan Loss Experience
A summary of our loan balances at the end of 2016 through 2018 and the daily average balances of these loans as well as changes in the allowance
for loan losses arising from loans charged-off and recoveries on loans previously charged-off, and additions to the allowance which we have expensed is shown in Item 7 of this report under the heading “Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality” included in
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.”
Additional information about our allowance for loan losses, including a table showing the allocation of the allowance for loan losses at the end of
2016 through 2018 and the factors which influenced management’s judgment in determining the amount of the additions to the allowance charged to operating expense, may be found in Item 7 of this report under the heading “Allowance for Loan Losses” in
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.”
Deposit Portfolio
We offer a broad range of deposit services, including checking accounts, savings accounts and time deposits of various types. Transaction accounts
and savings and time certificates are tailored to the principal market area at rates competitive with those offered in the area. All deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC up to the maximum amount permitted by law.
We solicit deposit services from individuals, businesses, associations, churches, nonprofit organizations, financial institutions and government
authorities. Deposits are gathered primarily from the communities we serve through our network of 26 branches. We offer business and consumer checking accounts, regular and money market savings accounts, and certificates of deposit with many term
options. We operate in a competitive environment, competing with other local banks similar in size and with significantly larger regional banks. We monitor rates at other financial institutions in the area to ascertain that our rates are competitive
with the market. We also attempt to offer a wide variety of products to meet the needs of our customers. We set our deposit pricing to be competitive with other banks in our market area.
We may utilize alternative funding sources as needed, including short-term borrowings, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repo borrowings”) and brokered deposits. We had no brokered deposits or repo borrowings at December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Securities Portfolio
Our securities portfolio is classified as either “available for sale” or “held to maturity.” Securities classified as “available for sale” may be
sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risks, and availability of alternative investments, or to meet our liquidity needs.
The primary objective of our investing activities is to provide for the safety of the principal invested. Our secondary considerations include the
maximization of earnings, liquidity and to help decrease our overall exposure to changes in interest rates. We have generally invested in bonds with lower credit risk, primarily those secured by government agencies or insured municipalities, to
assist in the diversification of credit risk within our asset base. The commercial bond component of this category decreased by $10.0 million in 2018.
These bonds represent financing provided to some of our non-profit commercial customers who qualified for borrowing on a tax-exempt basis. We have
not experienced any credit losses within our securities portfolio.
The following table reflects the composition of our securities portfolio as of the dates indicated (includes securities available for sale and held
to maturity).

Trust Services
We offer trust services to further provide for the financial needs of our customers. As of December 31, 2018, the Trust Department managed assets
of approximately $820.8 million. Our types of service include both personal trust and retirement plan services.
Our personal trust services include financial planning, investment management services, trust and estate administration and custodial services. As
of December 31, 2018, personal trust assets under management totaled approximately $458.6 million. Our retirement plan services encompass all types of qualified retirement plans, including profit sharing, 401(k) and pension plans. As of December
31, 2018, retirement plan assets under management totaled approximately $362.2 million.
Market Area
Our primary market area includes Ottawa, Kent and northern Allegan Counties, all located in western Michigan. This area includes two mid-sized
cities, Grand Rapids and Holland, and rural areas. Grand Rapids is the second largest city in Michigan. Holland is the largest city in Ottawa County. Both cities and surrounding areas have a solid and diverse economic base, which includes health and
life sciences, tourism, office and home furniture, automotive components and assemblies, pharmaceutical, transportation, equipment, food and construction supplies. Grand Valley State University, a 25,000-student regional university with nearly 2,000
employees, has its three main campuses in our market area. GVSU and several smaller colleges and university affiliates located in our market area help stabilize the local economy because they are not as sensitive to the fluctuations of the broader
economy. Companies operating in the market area include the Van Andel Institute, Steelcase, Herman Miller, Amway, Gentex, Spectrum Health, Haworth, Wolverine World Wide, Johnson Controls, General Motors, Gerber, Magna, SpartanNash and Meijer.
Competition
There are many bank, thrift, credit union and other financial institution offices located within our market area. Most are branches of larger
financial institutions. We also face competition from finance companies, insurance companies, mortgage companies, securities brokerage firms, money market funds and other providers of financial services. Many of our competitors have been in
business a number of years, have established customer bases, are larger and have higher lending limits than we do. We compete for loans, deposits and other financial services based on our ability to communicate effectively with our customers, to
understand and meet their needs and to provide high quality customer service. Our management believes that our personal service philosophy, our local decision-making and diverse delivery channels enhances our ability to compete favorably in
attracting individuals and small businesses. We actively solicit customers by offering our customers personal attention, professional service, and competitive interest rates.
Employees
As of December 31, 2018, we had 334 full-time equivalent employees consisting of 292 full-time and 79 part-time employees. We have assembled a
staff of experienced, dedicated and qualified professionals whose goal is to meet the financial needs of our customers while providing outstanding service. The majority of our management team has at least 10 years of banking experience, and several
key personnel have more than 20 years of banking experience. None of our employees are represented by collective bargaining agreements with us.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The following is a summary of statutes and regulations affecting Macatawa Bank Corporation and Macatawa Bank. A change in
applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on us and our business.
General
Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated under federal and state law. Consequently, our growth and earnings
performance can be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the statutes administered by, and the regulations and policies of, various governmental regulatory authorities. Those authorities include, but
are not limited to, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), the FDIC, the State of Michigan’s Department of Financial and Insurance Services (“DIFS”), the Internal Revenue Service, and state taxing
authorities. The effect of such statutes, regulations and policies can be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty.
Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial institutions and their holding companies regulate, among other things, the
scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital levels relative to operations, lending activities and practices, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and declaration
and payment of dividends. The system of supervision and regulation applicable to us and our bank establishes a comprehensive framework for our respective operations and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund,
our depositors, and the public, rather than our shareholders.
Federal law and regulations establish supervisory standards applicable to our lending activities, including internal controls, credit underwriting,
loan documentation and loan-to-value ratios for loans secured by real property.
Recent Developments
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: On
December 22, 2017, “H.R.1”, also known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, was signed into law. This new tax law, among other items, reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. This tax rate change reduced the
Company’s federal income tax liability in 2018. However, the new tax law impacted the Company’s 2017 operating results as well. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require companies to re-value their deferred tax assets and liabilities as
of the date of enactment, with resulting tax effects accounted for in the reporting period of enactment. Since the enactment took place in December 2017, the Company revalued its net deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2017 resulting in a
$2.5 million reduction to earnings in 2017.
Macatawa Bank Corporation
General. Macatawa Bank Corporation is
registered as a bank holding company with, and subject to regulation by, the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Under the BHCA, Macatawa Bank Corporation is subject to periodic examination by
the Federal Reserve Board, and is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board periodic reports of our operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require.
In accordance with Federal Reserve Board policy, Macatawa Bank Corporation is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit
resources to support the Bank. In addition, if the DIFS deems the Bank’s capital to be impaired, the DIFS may require the Bank to restore its capital by a special assessment upon Macatawa Bank Corporation as the Bank’s sole shareholder. If Macatawa
Bank Corporation were to fail to pay any such assessment, the directors of the Bank would be required, under Michigan law, to sell all or part of the shares of the Bank’s stock owned by Macatawa Bank Corporation to the highest bidder at either a
public or private auction and use the proceeds of the sale to restore the Bank’s capital.
Investments and Activities. In general, any
direct or indirect acquisition by us of any voting shares of any bank which would result in our direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares of such bank, and any merger or consolidation between us and another
financial holding company or bank holding company, will require the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA.
The merger or consolidation of the Bank with another bank, or the acquisition by the Bank of assets of another bank, or the assumption of liability by the
Bank to pay any deposits of another bank, will require the prior written approval of the FDIC under the Bank Merger Act and DIFS under the Michigan Banking Code. In addition, in certain such cases, an application to, and the prior approval of, the
Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA may be required.
Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board
uses capital adequacy guidelines in its examination and regulation of bank holding companies. If capital falls below minimum guidelines, a bank holding company may, among other things, be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or
non-bank businesses.
Additional information on our capital ratios may be found in Item 7 of this report under the heading “Capital Resources” included in “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and in Item 8 of this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and is here incorporated by reference.
Dividends. Macatawa Bank Corporation is a
corporation separate and distinct from the Bank. Most of our revenues are dividends paid by the Bank. Thus, Macatawa Bank Corporation’s ability to pay dividends to our shareholders is indirectly limited by restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay
dividends described below. Further, in a policy statement, the Federal Reserve Board has expressed its view that a bank holding company should not pay cash dividends if its net income available to shareholders for the past four quarters, net of
dividends paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends, its prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition, or it will not meet, or is in
danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios. The Federal Reserve Board also possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or
unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies. Similar enforcement powers over our Bank are possessed by the
FDIC. The “prompt corrective action” provisions of federal law and regulation authorizes the FDIC to restrict the payment of dividends to Macatawa Bank Corporation by our Bank if the Bank fails to meet specified capital levels.
In addition, the Michigan Business Corporation Act provides that dividends may be legally declared or paid only if after the distribution a corporation can
pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business and its total assets equal or exceed the sum of its liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any holders of preferred stock
whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.
Additional information about restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Bank may be found in Item 8 of this report in Notes 1 and 17 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and is here incorporated by reference.
Federal Securities Regulation. Our common
stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We are subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act. We are
subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which imposes numerous reporting, accounting, corporate governance and business practices on companies, as well as financial and other professionals who have involvement with the U.S. public markets. We are
generally subject to these requirements and applicable SEC rules and regulations.
Macatawa Bank
General. Macatawa Bank is a Michigan banking
corporation, and its deposit accounts are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”) of the FDIC. As a DIF-insured Michigan-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the
DIFS, as the chartering authority for Michigan banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of the DIF. These agencies, and the federal and state laws applicable to the Bank and its operations, extensively regulate various aspects of the banking business,
including, among other things, permissible types and amounts of loans, investments and other activities, capital adequacy, branching, interest rates on loans and on deposits, the maintenance of noninterest bearing reserves on deposit accounts, and
the safety and soundness of banking practices.
Deposit Insurance. As an FDIC-insured
institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of four categories and assessed
insurance premiums, based upon their respective levels of capital and results of supervisory evaluation. Institutions categorized as well-capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered healthy pay the lowest premium, while institutions that are
categorized as less than adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest premium. Risk classification of all insured institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment
period.
The FDIC’s deposit insurance assessment base methodology uses average consolidated total assets less average tangible equity as the assessment base. Under
this calculation, most well capitalized banks will pay 5 to 9 basis points annually, increasing up to 35 basis points for banks that pose significant supervisory concerns. This base rate may be adjusted for the level of unsecured debt and brokered
deposits, resulting in adjusted rates ranging from 2.5 to 9 basis points annually for most well capitalized banks to 30 to 45 basis points for banks that pose significant supervisory concerns. We estimate our annual assessment rate to be 3 basis
points in 2019. The FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund exceeded its targeted reserve ratio of 1.35% and the FDIC sent the Bank a letter dated January 24, 2019 notifying the Bank that it would be apportioned a share of the excess in the form of credits to
offset future assessments. The preliminary assessment credit for the Bank was approximately $400,000. Total FDIC assessment expense for 2018 was $518,000, so this will significantly reduce the Bank’s expense in 2019.
FICO Assessments. The Bank, as a member of the
DIF, is subject to assessments to cover the payments on outstanding obligations of the Financing Corporation (“FICO”). From now until the maturity of the outstanding FICO obligations in 2019, DIF members will share the cost of the interest on the
FICO bonds on a pro rata basis. It is estimated that FICO assessments during this period will be less than 0.025% of deposits.
Capital Requirements. The FDIC has established
the following minimum capital standards for FDIC insured banks: a leverage requirement consisting of a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total average assets and risk-based capital requirements consisting of a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted
assets, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets, and a ratio of common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital to risk weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders’ equity. Common equity Tier 1 capital excludes forms of
stock that are not common stock.
Basel III. In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC approved the final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s
capital guidelines for U.S. banks (commonly known as Basel III). Under the final rules, which began for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015 and are subject to a phase-in period through January 1, 2019, minimum requirements will increase for
both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Company and the Bank. The rules include a new common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (CET1 ratio) of 4.5% and a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets,
which when fully phased-in, effectively results in a minimum CET1 ratio of 7.0%. Basel III raises the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0% (which, with the capital conservation buffer, effectively results in a
minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% when fully phased-in), effectively results in a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.5% (with the capital conservation buffer fully phased-in), and requires a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%.
Basel III also makes changes to risk weights for certain assets and off-balance-sheet exposures. We expect that the capital ratios for the Company and the Bank under Basel III will continue to exceed the well capitalized minimum capital requirements.
Federal regulations define these capital categories as follows:

Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized
institutions. Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators’ corrective powers include: requiring the submission of a capital restoration plan; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities;
requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions with affiliates; restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; ordering a new election of
directors of the institution; requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the
payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution.
In general, a depository institution may be reclassified to a lower category than is indicated by its capital levels if the appropriate federal
depository institution regulatory agency determines the institution to be otherwise in an unsafe or unsound condition or to be engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice. This could include a failure by the institution, following receipt of a
less-than-satisfactory rating on its most recent examination report, to correct the deficiency.
As of December 31, 2018, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized”. Additional information on our capital ratios may be found in Item 8 of
this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and is here incorporated by reference.
Dividends. Under Michigan
law, the Bank is restricted as to the maximum amount of dividends it may pay on its common stock. The Bank may not pay dividends except out of net income after deducting its losses and bad debts. A Michigan state bank may not declare or pay a
dividend unless the bank will have surplus amounting to at least 20% of its capital after the payment of the dividend.
Federal law generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any
management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. The FDIC may prevent an insured bank from paying dividends if the bank is in default of payment of any assessment due to the FDIC. In
addition, the FDIC may prohibit the payment of dividends by the Bank, if such payment is determined to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice.
Additional information about restrictions on payment of dividends by the Bank may be found in Item 8 of this report in Notes 1 and 17 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, and is here incorporated by reference.
Insider Transactions. The
Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on any extensions of credit to Macatawa or any subsidiary of Macatawa, on investments in the stock or other securities of Macatawa or any subsidiary of Macatawa and the acceptance of the
stock or other securities of Macatawa or any subsidiary of Macatawa as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by the Bank to its directors and officers, to Macatawa’s directors
and officers, to our principal shareholders and to “related interests” of such directors, officers and principal shareholders. In addition, federal law and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a director or officer of our
company or any subsidiary or a principal shareholder in our company may obtain credit from banks with which the Bank maintains a correspondent relationship.
Safety and Soundness Standards.
The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. These guidelines establish standards for, among other things, internal controls, information systems, internal
audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and earnings.
Investments and Other Activities.
Under federal law and FDIC regulations, FDIC insured state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from making or retaining equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not permissible for a national bank. Federal law, as
implemented by FDIC regulations, also prohibits FDIC insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank or its subsidiary, respectively,
unless the bank meets, and continues to meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines the activity would not pose a significant risk to the DIF. Impermissible investments and activities must be divested or discontinued
within certain time frames set by the FDIC in accordance with federal law.
Consumer Protection Laws.
The Bank’s business includes making a variety of types of loans to individuals. In making these loans, we are subject to state usury and regulatory laws and to various federal laws and regulations, including the privacy of consumer financial
information provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and
the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, which prohibit discrimination, specify disclosures to be made to borrowers regarding credit and settlement costs, and regulate the mortgage loan servicing activities of the Bank, including the maintenance and
operation of escrow accounts and the transfer of mortgage loan servicing. In receiving deposits, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation under state and federal law and regulations, including the Truth in Savings Act, the Expedited Funds
Availability Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Violation of these laws could result in the imposition of significant damages and fines upon the Bank and its directors and officers.
Anti-Money Laundering and OFAC
Regulation. A major focus of governmental policy on financial institutions in recent years has been aimed at combating money laundering and terrorist financing. The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 (“BSA”) and subsequent laws and regulations
require the Bank to take steps to prevent the use of the Bank or its systems from facilitating the flow of illegal or illicit money or terrorist funds. Those requirements include ensuring effective Board and management oversight, establishing
policies and procedures, performing comprehensive risk assessments, developing effective monitoring and reporting capabilities, ensuring adequate training and establishing a comprehensive independent audit of BSA compliance activities.
The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (“Patriot Act”) significantly expanded the anti-money laundering (“AML”) and financial transparency laws and
regulations by imposing significant new compliance and due diligence obligations, creating new crimes and penalties and expanding the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the United States. Regulations promulgated under the Patriot Act impose various
requirements on financial institutions, such as standards for verifying client identification at account opening and maintaining expanded records (including “Know Your Customer” and “Enhanced Due Diligence” practices) and other obligations to
maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to aid the process of preventing, detecting, and reporting money laundering and terrorist financing. An institution subject to the Patriot Act must provide AML training to employees, designate an
AML compliance officer and annually audit the AML program to assess its effectiveness. The FDIC continues to issue regulations and additional guidance with respect to the application and requirements of BSA and AML.
The United States has imposed economic sanctions that affect transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and others. Based on their
administration by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), these are typically known as the “OFAC” rules. The OFAC-administered sanctions targeting countries take many different forms. Generally,
however, they contain one or more of the following elements: (i) restrictions on trade with or investment in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country and prohibitions on
“United States persons” engaging in financial transactions relating to making investments in, or providing investment-related advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and (ii) a blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated
nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest, by prohibiting transfers of property subject to United States jurisdiction (including property in the possession or control of United States persons). Blocked assets (e.g., property and bank
deposits) cannot be paid out, withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC.
Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate BSA, AML and OFAC programs, or to comply with all of the relevant laws or
regulations, could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the institution and result in material fines and sanctions.
Branching Authority. Michigan banks have the
authority under Michigan law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Michigan, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Banks may establish interstate branch networks through acquisitions of other banks. The establishment of
de novo interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed only if specifically authorized by state law.
Michigan law permits both U.S. and non-U.S. banks to establish branch offices in Michigan. The Michigan Banking Code permits, in appropriate circumstances
and with the approval of the DIFS, (1) acquisition of Michigan banks by FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states, (2) sale by a Michigan bank of branches to an FDIC-insured bank, savings bank or
savings and loan association located in a state in which a Michigan bank could purchase branches of the purchasing entity, (3) consolidation of Michigan banks and FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other
states having laws permitting such consolidation, (4) establishment of branches in Michigan by FDIC-insured banks located in other states, the District of Columbia or U.S. territories or protectorates having laws permitting a Michigan bank to
establish a branch in such jurisdiction, and (5) establishment by foreign banks of branches located in Michigan. A Michigan bank holding company may acquire a non-Michigan bank and a non-Michigan bank holding company may acquire a Michigan bank.
Risks related to the our Business
Earnings in recent years were supported, in part, by negative provisions for loan losses and non-recurring events,
which will not necessarily be available in future years.
We were profitable in years 2016 through 2018. Earnings in these years were supported, in part, by negative provisions for loan losses and non-recurring
events. We have recorded negative provisions for loan losses of $1.35 million and $1.35 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. We do not expect a similar level of negative provisions for loan losses in 2019, and
non-recurring events with similar levels of positive impact on earnings are not likely to occur in 2019.
Our nonperforming assets and other
problem loans could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Our nonperforming assets (which includes non-accrual loans, foreclosed properties and other accruing loans past due 90 days or more) were
approximately $4.7 million at December 31, 2018. These assets could negatively impact operating results through higher loan losses, lost interest and higher costs to administer problem assets.
National, state and local economic
conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
The results of operations for financial institutions, including our Bank, may be materially and adversely affected by changes in prevailing
national, state and local economic conditions. Our profitability is heavily influenced by the quality of the Company’s loan portfolio and the stability of the Company’s deposits. Unlike larger national or regional banks that are more geographically
diversified, the Company provides banking and financial services to customers primarily in Ottawa, Kent and Allegan Counties of western Michigan. The local economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on the demand for the Company’s
products and services, and the ability of the Company’s customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans and the stability of the Company’s deposit funding sources. A significant decline in general economic conditions, caused by
inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, outbreak of hostilities or other international or domestic occurrences, unemployment, changes in securities, financial, capital or credit markets or other factors, could impact national and local economic
conditions and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Our credit losses could increase and our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan
losses.
The risk of nonpayment of loans is inherent in all lending activities and nonpayment of loans may have a material adverse effect on our earnings
and overall financial condition, and the value of our common stock. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio and provide an allowance for potential losses based on a number of factors. If our
assumptions are wrong, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover our losses, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results, and may cause us to increase the allowance in the future. The actual amount of future
provisions for loan losses cannot now be determined and may exceed the amounts of past provisions for loan losses. Federal and state banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review our allowance for loan
losses. These regulatory agencies may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or to recognize further loan charge-offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses could have
a negative effect on our regulatory capital ratios, net income, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to liquidity risk in our operations, which could adversely affect our ability to fund various
obligations.
Liquidity risk is the possibility of being unable to meet obligations as they come due, pay deposits when withdrawn, and fund loan and investment
opportunities as they arise because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding on a timely basis, at a reasonable cost and within acceptable risk tolerances. Liquidity is required to fund various obligations, including credit
obligations to borrowers, mortgage originations, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of debt, operating expenses and capital expenditures. Liquidity of the Bank is derived primarily from retail deposit growth and retention, principal and interest
payments on loans and investment securities, net cash provided from operations and access to other funding sources. Liquidity is essential to our business. We must maintain sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers. An
inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale or pledging as collateral of loans and other assets could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. An inability to retain the current level of deposits, including the loss of
one or more of the Bank’s larger deposit relationships, could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance activities could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or
the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of the business activity due to a market down turn or regulatory action that limits or eliminates
access to alternate funding sources, including brokered deposits discussed above. Our ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are nonspecific to the Company, such as severe disruption of the financial markets or negative expectations
about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole.
Our construction and development lending exposes us to significant risks.
Construction and development loans consist of loans to commercial customers for the construction of their business facilities. They also include
construction loans to builders and developers for the construction of one- to four-family residences and the development of one- to four-family lots, residential subdivisions, condominium developments and other commercial developments. This
portfolio may be particularly adversely affected by job losses, declines in real estate values, declines in home sale volumes, and declines in new home building. Declining real estate values may result in sharp increases in losses, particularly in
the land development and construction loan portfolios to residential developers. This type of lending is generally considered to have more complex credit risks than traditional single-family residential lending because the principal is concentrated
in a limited number of loans with repayment dependent on the successful completion and sales of the related real estate project. Consequently, these loans are often more sensitive to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the general
economy than other real estate loans. These loans are generally less predictable and more difficult to evaluate and monitor and collateral may be difficult to dispose of in a market decline. Additionally, we may experience significant construction
loan losses if independent appraisers or project engineers inaccurately estimate the cost and value of construction loan projects.
We have significant exposure to risks associated with commercial and residential real estate.
A substantial portion of our loan portfolio consists of commercial and residential real estate-related loans, including real estate development,
construction and residential and commercial mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2018, we had approximately $568.7 million of commercial real estate loans outstanding, which represented approximately 40.5% of our loan portfolio. As of that same date,
we had approximately $238.2 million in residential real estate loans outstanding, or approximately 23.0% of our loan portfolio. Consequently, real estate-related credit risks are a significant concern for us. The adverse consequences from real
estate-related credit risks tend to be cyclical and are often driven by national economic developments that are not controllable or entirely foreseeable by us or our borrowers.
Commercial loans may expose us to greater financial and credit risk than other loans.
Our commercial loan portfolio, including commercial mortgages, was approximately $1.1 billion at December 31, 2018, comprising approximately 77.0%
of our total loan portfolio. Commercial loans generally carry larger loan balances and can involve a greater degree of financial and credit risk than other loans. Any significant failure to pay on time by our customers would hurt our earnings. The
increased financial and credit risk associated with these types of loans are a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the size of loan balances, the effects of general economic
conditions on income-producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. In addition, when underwriting a commercial or industrial loan, we may take a security interest in commercial real estate, and,
in some instances upon a default by the borrower, we may foreclose on and take title to the property, which may lead to potential financial risks for us under applicable environmental laws. If hazardous substances were discovered on any of these
properties, we may be liable to governmental agencies or third parties for the costs of remediation of the hazard, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Many environmental laws can impose liability regardless of whether we knew of, or
were responsible for, the contamination.
Our loan portfolio has and will continue to be affected by the housing market.
Loans to residential developers involved in the development or sale of 1-4 family residential properties were approximately $35.3 million, $30.8
million and $26.0 million at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As we continue our on-going portfolio monitoring, we will make credit and reserve decisions based on the current conditions of the borrower or project combined with our
expectations for the future. If the housing market deteriorates, we could experience higher charge-offs and delinquencies in this portfolio.
We may face pressure from historical purchasers of our residential mortgage loans to repurchase those loans
or reimburse purchasers for losses related to those loans.
We generally sell the fixed rate long-term residential mortgage loans we originate on the secondary market and retain adjustable rate mortgage
loans for our portfolios. Purchasers of residential mortgage loans, such as government sponsored entities, may seek to require sellers of residential mortgage loans to either repurchase loans previously sold or reimburse purchasers for losses
related to loans previously sold when losses are incurred on a loan previously sold due to actual or alleged failure to strictly conform to the purchaser’s purchase criteria. We may face claims from historical purchasers of our residential mortgage
loans to repurchase those loans or reimburse purchasers for losses related to those loans and we may face increasing expenses to defend against such claims. If we are required in the future to repurchase loans previously sold, reimburse purchasers
for losses related to loans previously sold, or if we incur increasing expenses to defend against such claims, our financial condition and results of operations would be negatively affected, and would lower our capital ratios as a result of
increasing assets and lowering income through expenses and any loss incurred.
For the five-year period ended December 31, 2018, the Company has sold an aggregate of $379.7 million of residential mortgage loans on the
secondary market. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no pending repurchase demands or claims related to residential mortgage loans sold on the secondary market during the five-year period ended December 31, 2018.
Changes in interest rates may negatively affect our earnings and the value of our assets.
Our earnings and cash flows depend substantially upon our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income
earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rates are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control,
including general economic conditions, competition and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the policies of the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could
influence not only the interest we receive on loans and investment securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect: (i) our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits; (ii) the fair
value of our financial assets and liabilities, including our securities portfolio; and (iii) the average duration of our interest-earning assets. This also includes the risk that interest-earning assets may be more responsive to changes in interest
rates than interest-bearing liabilities, or vice versa (repricing risk), the risk that the individual interest rates or rates indices underlying various interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities may not change in the same degree over a
given time period (basis risk), and the risk of changing interest rate relationships across the spectrum of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability maturities (yield curve risk), including a prolonged flat or inverted yield curve
environment. Any substantial, unexpected, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
For several years prior to December 2015, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) kept the target federal funds between 0% and 0.25%. In
December 2015, the FOMC increased the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points, representing the first increase in nearly a decade. Since then, the FOMC has increased the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points on eight separate occasions.
Based on comments made by the FOMC, we expect fewer increases during 2019, and the overall lower interest rate environment is expected to continue in 2019. The extended lower interest rate environment has compressed our net interest spread and
reduced our spread-based revenues, which has had an adverse impact on our revenue and results of operations.
We are subject to significant government regulation, and any regulatory changes may adversely affect us.
The banking industry is heavily regulated under both federal and state law. These regulations are primarily intended to protect customers and the
Deposit Insurance Fund, not our creditors or shareholders. We are subject to extensive regulation by the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the DIFS, in addition to other regulatory and self-regulatory organizations. Future regulatory changes or
accounting pronouncements may increase our regulatory capital requirements or adversely affect our regulatory capital levels. Regulations affecting banks and financial services companies undergo continuous change, and we cannot predict the ultimate
effect of such changes, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability or financial condition.
The Company could be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions, including defaults
by larger financial institutions.
The Company’s ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial
institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships between financial institutions. The Company has exposure to multiple counterparties, and the Company
routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial industry. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, could lead to
market-wide liquidity problems and losses or defaults by the Company or by other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk” and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks,
securities firms and exchanges, with which the Company interacts on a daily basis, and therefore could adversely affect the Company.
We rely heavily on our management and other key personnel, and the loss of any of them may adversely affect our
operations.
We are and will continue to be dependent upon the services of our management team and other key personnel. Losing the services of one or more key members of
our management team could adversely affect our operations.
Our controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.
Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any
system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. If we fail to identify and remediate control
deficiencies, it is possible that a material misstatement of interim or annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In addition, any failure or circumvention of our other controls and procedures or failure to
comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Bank may be required to pay additional insurance premiums to the FDIC, which could negatively impact earnings.
Depending upon any future losses that the FDIC insurance fund may suffer, there can be no assurance that there will not be additional premium increases in
order to replenish the fund. The FDIC may need to set a higher base rate schedule or impose special assessments due to future financial institution failures and updated failure and loss projections. Increased FDIC assessment rates could have an
adverse impact on our results of operations.
If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability to further expand our operations through organic growth
and acquisitions could be materially impaired.
We are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain specified levels of capital to support our operations. We may need to raise
additional capital to support our current level of assets or our growth. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. We
cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital in the future on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability to expand our operations through organic growth or acquisitions could be
materially limited. Additional information on the capital requirements applicable to the Bank may be found under the heading “Regulatory Capital” in Note 17 in Item 8.
We may be a defendant in a variety of litigation and other actions, which may have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
We may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation arising out of our business. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted
against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation or cause us to incur unexpected expenses, which could be material in amount. Should the ultimate expenses, judgments or settlements in
any litigation exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, and we may
not be able to obtain adequate replacement of our existing policies with acceptable terms, if at all.
Our future success is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive banking industry.
We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of different competitors. Our future growth and success will depend on our
ability to compete effectively in this highly competitive environment. We compete for deposits, loans and other financial services with numerous Michigan-based and out-of-state banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well
as other entities which provide financial services, including technology-oriented financial services (FinTech) companies. Some of the financial institutions and financial services organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same
degree of regulation as we are. Most of our competitors have been in business for many years, have established customer bases, are larger, and have substantially higher lending limits than we do. The financial services industry is also likely to
become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. Competition for limited, high-quality lending opportunities and core deposits in an increasingly competitive marketplace may adversely
affect our results of operations.
Evaluation of investment securities for
other-than-temporary impairment involves subjective determinations and could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition.
The evaluation of impairments is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties and is intended to determine whether
declines in the fair value of investments should be recognized in current period earnings. The risks and uncertainties include changes in general economic conditions, the issuer’s financial condition or future recovery prospects, the effects of
changes in interest rates or credit spreads and the expected recovery period. Estimating future cash flows involves incorporating information received from third-party sources and making internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future
performance of the underlying collateral and assessing the probability that an adverse change in future cash flows has occurred. The determination of the amount of other-than-temporary impairments is based upon our periodic evaluation and assessment
of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Such evaluations and assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. Our management considers a wide range of factors about the security
issuer and uses reasonable judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for recovery. Inherent in management’s evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates
about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Impairments to the carrying value of our investment securities may need to be taken in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial condition.
We depend upon the accuracy and completeness of information about customers.
In deciding whether to extend credit to customers, we rely on information provided to us by our customers, including financial statements and other financial
information. We also rely on representations of customers as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports of independent auditors. Our financial condition and results of operations could
be negatively impacted to the extent that we extend credit in reliance on financial statements or other information provided by customers that is false, misleading or incomplete.
Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or customer information, whether through a breach of
computer systems or otherwise, or failure or interruption of the Company’s communication or information systems, could severely harm the Company’s business.
As part of its business, the Company collects, processes and retains sensitive and confidential client and customer information on behalf of the Company and
other third parties. Despite the security measures the Company has in place for its facilities and systems, and the security measures of its third party service providers, the Company may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism,
computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors or other similar events.
The Company relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. Any failure or interruption of these systems could result in
failures or disruptions in the Company’s customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. In addition, customers could lose access to their accounts and be unable to conduct financial transactions during a period of
failure or interruption of these systems.
Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential customer information, whether such information is
held by the Company or by its vendors, or failure or interruption of the Company’s communication or information systems, could severely damage the Company’s reputation, expose it to risks of regulatory scrutiny, litigation and liability, disrupt the
Company’s operations, or result in a loss of customer business, the occurrence of any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential
information, and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations.
Global cybersecurity threats and incidents can range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to information technology (IT)
systems to sophisticated and targeted measures known as advanced persistent threats, directed at the Company and/or its third party service providers. While we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, these types of threats and
incidents, none of them to date have been material to the Company. Although we employ comprehensive measures to prevent, detect, address and mitigate these threats (including access controls, employee training, data encryption, vulnerability
assessments, continuous monitoring of our IT networks and systems and maintenance of backup and protective systems), cybersecurity incidents, depending on their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction,
corruption or unavailability of critical data and confidential or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties) and the disruption of business operations. The potential consequences of a material cybersecurity incident include
reputational damage, litigation with third parties and increased cybersecurity protection and remediation costs, which in turn could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
We continually encounter technological change, and we may have fewer resources than our competitors to continue to
invest in technological improvements.
The banking industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to
better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to
provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing such products and services to our customers.
An “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code could materially impair our ability to
use our deferred tax assets.
At December 31, 2018, our gross deferred tax asset was $4.9 million. Our ability to use our deferred tax assets to offset future taxable income will be
limited if we experience an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, an ownership change will occur if there is a cumulative increase in our ownership by “5-percent shareholders” (as defined in the Code)
that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. A corporation that experiences an ownership change will generally be subject to an annual limitation on the use of its pre-ownership change deferred tax assets equal to the equity
value of the corporation immediately before the ownership change, multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate.
If an “ownership change” occurs, we could lose certain built-in losses that have not been recognized for tax purposes. The amount of the permanent loss would
depend on the size of the annual limitation (which is in part a function of our market capitalization at the time of an “ownership change”) and the remaining carry forward period (U.S. federal net operating losses generally may be carried forward for
a period of 20 years).
Our ability to maintain, attract and retain customer
relationships is highly dependent on our reputation.
Our customers rely on us to deliver superior, personalized financial services with the highest standards of ethics, performance, professionalism and
compliance. Damage to our reputation could undermine the confidence of our current customers and our ability to attract potential customers. Such damage could also impair the confidence of our counterparties and vendors and ultimately affect our
ability to effect transactions. Maintenance of our reputation depends not only on our success in maintaining our service-focused culture and controlling and mitigating the various risks described herein, but also on our success in identifying and
appropriately addressing issues that may arise in areas such as potential conflicts of interest, anti-money laundering, client personal information and privacy issues, employee, customer and other third party fraud, record-keeping, regulatory
investigations and any litigation that may arise from the failure or perceived failure of us to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
Employee misconduct could expose us to significant legal liability and reputational harm.
We are vulnerable to reputational harm because we operate in an industry in which integrity and the confidence of our customers are of critical importance.
Our employees could engage in misconduct that adversely affects our customers and/or our business. For example, if an employee were to engage in fraudulent, illegal, wrongful or suspicious activities, and/or activities resulting in consumer harm, we
could be subject to regulatory sanctions and/or penalties, and suffer serious harm to our reputation (as a consequence of the negative perception resulting from such activities), financial position, customer relationships and ability to attract new
customers. Our business often requires that we deal with confidential information. If our employees were to improperly use or disclose this information, even if inadvertently, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation, financial position and
current and future business relationships. It is not always possible to deter employee misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not always be effective. Misconduct by our employees, or even unsubstantiated
allegations of misconduct, could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our operations could be interrupted if certain external vendors on which we rely experience difficulty, terminate
their services or fail to comply with banking laws and regulations.
We depend to a significant extent on relationships with third party service providers. Specifically, we utilize third party core banking services and receive
credit card and debit card services, branch capture services, Internet banking services and services complementary to our banking products from various third party service providers. If these third party service providers experience difficulties or
terminate their services and we are unable to replace them with other service providers, our operations could be interrupted. It may be difficult for us to replace some of our third party vendors, particularly vendors providing our core banking,
credit card and debit card services, in a timely manner if they were unwilling or unable to provide us with these services in the future for any reason. If an interruption were to continue for a significant period of time, it could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Even if we are able to replace them, it may be at higher cost to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
Uncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process and potential phasing out of LIBOR may adversely affect our
results of operations.
On July 27, 2017, the Chief Executive of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop persuading
or compelling banks to submit rates for the calibration of LIBOR to the administrator of LIBOR after 2021. The announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. It is impossible
to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR or whether any additional reforms to LIBOR may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. At this time, no consensus exists as to
what rate or rates may become acceptable alternatives to LIBOR and it is impossible to predict the effect of any such alternatives on the value of LIBOR-based securities and variable rate loans, subordinated debentures, or other securities or
financial arrangements, given LIBOR’s role in determining market interest rates globally. Uncertainty as to the nature of alternative reference rates and as to potential changes or other reforms to LIBOR may adversely affect LIBOR rates and the value
of LIBOR-based loans and securities in our portfolio, and may impact the availability and cost of hedging instruments and borrowings. If LIBOR rates are no longer available, and we are required to implement substitute indices for the calculation of
interest rates under our loan agreements with our borrowers, we may incur significant expenses in effecting the transition, and may be subject to disputes or litigation with customers over the appropriateness or comparability to LIBOR of the
substitute indices, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Risks Associated With the Company’s Stock
The market price of our common stock can be volatile, which may make it more difficult to resell our common stock at a
desired time and price.
Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for a shareholder to resell our common stock when a shareholder wants to and at prices a shareholder finds
attractive or at all. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors, regardless of operating results. These factors include, among other things:
| · |
Variations in our anticipated or actual operating results or the results of our competitors;
|
| · |
Changes in investors’ or analysts’ perceptions of the risks and conditions of our business;
|
| · |
The size of the public float of our common stock;
|
| · |
Regulatory developments, including changes to regulatory capital levels, components of regulatory capital and how regulatory capital is calculated;
|
| · |
Interest rate changes or credit loss trends;
|
| · |
Trading volume in our common stock;
|
| · |
Market conditions; and
|
| · |
General economic conditions.
|
The Company may issue additional shares of its common stock in the future, which could dilute a shareholder’s
ownership of common stock.
The Company’s articles of incorporation authorize its Board of Directors, without shareholder approval, to, among other things, issue additional shares of
common or preferred stock. The issuance of any additional shares of common or preferred stock could be dilutive to a shareholder’s ownership of Company common stock.
To the extent that the Company issues options or warrants to purchase common stock in the future and the options or warrants are exercised, the Company’s
shareholders may experience further dilution. Holders of shares of Company common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, shareholders may
not be permitted to invest in future issuances of Company common or preferred stock.
Although publicly traded, our common stock has substantially less liquidity than the average liquidity of stocks
listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Although our common stock is listed for trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, our common stock has substantially less liquidity than the average
liquidity for companies listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of our common
stock at any given time. This marketplace depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. This limited market may affect a shareholder’s ability to sell their shares on short
notice, and the sale of a large number of shares at one time could temporarily depress the market price of our common stock. For these reasons, our common stock should not be viewed as a short-term investment.
The Company’s common stock is not insured by any governmental entity.
Our common stock is not a deposit account or other obligation of any bank and is not insured by the FDIC or any other governmental entity. Investment in
Company common stock is subject to risk, including possible loss.
The Company may issue debt and equity securities that are senior to Company common stock as to distributions and in
liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of Company common stock.
The Company has in the past and may in the future increase its capital by entering into debt or debt-like financing or issuing debt or equity securities,
which could include issuances of senior notes, subordinated notes, preferred stock or common stock. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, its lenders and holders of its debt securities would receive a distribution of the Company’s available
assets before distributions to the holders of Company common stock. The Company’s decision to incur debt and issue securities in future offerings will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond its control. The Company cannot predict or
estimate the amount, timing or nature of its future offerings and debt financings. Future offerings could reduce the value of shares of Company common stock and dilute a shareholder’s interest in the Company.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Michigan laws contain certain provisions that could make a takeover more
difficult.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws, and the laws of Michigan, include provisions which are designed to provide our Board of Directors with time to
consider whether a hostile takeover offer is in our best interest and the best interests of our shareholders. These provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. The provisions also could
diminish the opportunities for a holder of our common stock to participate in tender offers, including tender offers at a price above the then-current price for our common stock. These provisions could also prevent transactions in which our
shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices, and may limit the ability of our shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.
The Michigan Business Corporation Act contains provisions intended to protect shareholders and prohibit or discourage certain types of hostile takeover
activities. In addition to these provisions and the provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, federal law requires the Federal Reserve Board’s approval prior to acquisition of “control” of a bank holding company. All of these provisions
may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without action by our shareholders, and therefore, could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
If an entity holds as little as a 5% interest in our outstanding securities, that entity could, under certain
circumstances, be subject to regulation as a “bank holding company.”
Any entity, including a “group” composed of natural persons, owning or controlling with the power to vote 25% or more of our outstanding securities, or 5% or
more if the holder otherwise exercises a “controlling influence” over us, may be subject to regulation as a “bank holding company” in accordance with the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). In addition, any bank holding
company or foreign bank with a U.S. presence may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the BHC Act to acquire or retain 5% or more of our outstanding securities. Becoming a bank holding company imposes statutory and
regulatory restrictions and obligations, such as providing managerial and financial strength for its bank subsidiaries. Regulation as a bank holding company could require the holder to divest all or a portion of the holder’s investment in our
securities or those nonbanking investments that may be deemed impermissible or incompatible with bank holding company status, such as a material investment in a company unrelated to banking.
Any person not defined as a company by the BHC Act may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board
under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, to acquire or retain 10% or more of our outstanding securities.
Any person not otherwise defined as a company by the BHC Act and its implementing regulations may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve
Board under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, to acquire or retain 10% or more of our outstanding securities. Applying to obtain this approval could result in a person incurring substantial costs and time delays. There can be no
assurance that regulatory approval will be obtained.
None.

*Retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of all stock splits and dividends
**2017 reflects the effect of “H.R.1”, also known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, on the value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets which increased
federal income tax expense by $2,524,000. 2018 reflects the effect of the reduced corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% under H.R.1 effective as of January 1, 2018.
Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition contains forward-looking statements. Please refer to the
discussion of forward-looking statements at the beginning of this report.
The following section presents additional information to assess our results of operations and financial condition. This section should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the supplemental financial data contained elsewhere in this report.
OVERVIEW
Macatawa Bank Corporation is a Michigan corporation and a registered bank holding company. It wholly-owns Macatawa Bank, Macatawa Statutory Trust I
and Macatawa Statutory Trust II. Macatawa Bank is a Michigan chartered bank with depository accounts insured by the FDIC. The Bank operates twenty-six 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 Statutory Trusts I and II are grantor trusts and have issued $20.0 million each of pooled trust preferred securities. These trusts
are not consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information regarding consolidation, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
At December 31, 2018, we had total assets of $1.98 billion, total loans of $1.41 billion, total deposits of $1.68 billion and shareholders’ equity
of $190.9 million. We recognized net income of $26.4 million in 2018 compared to net income of $16.3 million in 2017. Earnings in 2017 were reduced by $2.5 million to record the impact of tax reform enacted in 2017 on the value of the Company’s net
deferred tax assets. Earnings before income tax in 2018 and 2017 improved over their respective previous years through growth in total revenue, primarily net interest income, while holding noninterest expenses stable. As of December 31, 2018, the
Company’s and the Bank’s risk-based regulatory capital ratios were significantly above those required under the regulatory standards and the Bank continued to be categorized as “well capitalized” at December 31, 2018.
The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.04 per share for the first and second quarters of 2017 and increased to $0.05 per share for the third and
fourth quarters of 2017. The Company increased the dividend to $0.06 per share for the first, second and third quarters of 2018, and to $0.07 per share for the fourth quarter of 2018.
Over the past several years, much progress has been made at reducing our nonperforming assets. The following table reflects period end balances of
these nonperforming assets as well as total loan delinquencies.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $450,000 in 2018 due to loan portfolio growth and net charge-offs during the year. Our earnings in 2017 were
favorably impacted by negative provision for loan losses of $1.35 million. The negative provision in 2017 was impacted by recoveries from our collection efforts and a continual decline in our historical charge-off levels from prior years.
While we had net charge-offs in 2018, it followed five consecutive full years of net recoveries. The following table reflects the provision for loan losses
for the past five years along with certain metrics that impact the determination of the level of the provision for loan losses.

Economic conditions in our market areas of Grand Rapids and Holland have been good during the past several years. The state of Michigan’s unemployment rate
at the end of 2018 was 3.9%. The Grand Rapids and Holland area unemployment rate was 2.5% at the end of 2018. Residential housing values and commercial real estate property values have increased in recent years.
It also appears that the housing market in our primary market area continues to be strong. In the Grand Rapids market during 2018, living unit starts were
consistent with levels experienced over the past five years. The Holland-Grand Haven/Lakeshore region showed similar results.
We experienced strong commercial loan growth in recent years. Most of our emphasis has been on growing commercial and industrial loans. These loans have
increased steadily from $449.3 million at December 31, 2016 to $513.3 million at December 31, 2018. Commercial real estate loans have increased from $449.3 million at December 31, 2016 to $568.7 million at December 31, 2018. Consumer loans have
increased from $313.5 million at December 31, 2016 to $323.6 million at December 31, 2018. We believe we are positioned for continued loan growth in 2019.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary: Net income was $26.4 million ($32.4 million on a pretax
basis) for 2018, compared to $16.3 million ($27.0 million on a pretax basis) for 2017. Earnings per common share on a diluted basis was $0.78 for 2018 and $0.48 for 2017.
Generally, the improvement in Company earnings was the result of strong growth in revenue while expenses have increased at a much lower rate or have been
reduced. As discussed previously, the revaluation of our net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017 resulting from enactment of tax reform at the end of 2017 caused a $2.5 million one-time increase in our federal income tax expense in 2017. The
strong increase in pretax earnings in 2018 compared to 2017 was due primarily to increased net interest income. Net interest income increased to $59.6 million in 2018 compared to $51.9 million in 2017. Total noninterest expense was $44.3 million
in 2018 compared to $43.7 million in 2017.
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $450,000 in 2018 and a negative provision for loan losses of $1.35 million in 2017. These provisions resulted
from low levels of nonperforming loans, strong asset quality and the levels of net loan charge-offs/recoveries realized in each of these periods. These items are discussed more fully below.
Net Interest Income: Net interest income totaled $59.6 million
during 2018 compared to $51.9 million during 2017.
The increase in net interest income during 2018 compared to 2017 marked our fourth consecutive year with an increase in net interest income. This increase
was due to an increase in average earning assets of $146.3 million from $1.63 billion in 2017 to $1.77 billion in 2018 as well as improvement in yields on earning assets. Average yield on securities, interest earning assets and net interest margin
are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis. Our net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets (i.e. “net interest margin” or “margin”) increased by 14 basis points in 2018 compared to 2017.
The yield on earning assets increased 32 basis points from 3.59% for 2017 to 3.91% for 2018. The increase from 2017 to 2018 was generally due to increases
in short-term interest rates including the federal funds rate, the prime rate and LIBOR. Our margin in recent years has been negatively impacted by our decision to hold significant balances in liquid and short-term investments.
Net interest income for 2018 increased $7.7 million compared to 2017. Of this increase, $3.4 million was due to changes in rates earned or paid, while $4.3
million was from changes in the volume of average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The largest changes came in commercial loan interest income which increased by $6.7 million in 2018. Of the $6.7 million increase in
interest income on commercial loans, $4.4 million was due to increases in rates earned and $2.3 million was due to increases in average balances.
Average interest earning assets totaled $1.77 billion for 2018 compared to $1.63 billion in 2017. Increases of $40.4 million in average securities balances
and $65.3 million in average loan balances from 2017 to 2018 were the primary drivers of the increase in total earning assets. Net interest margin was 3.38% for 2018 compared to 3.24% for 2017. Yield on commercial loans increased from 4.08% in 2017
to 4.52% in 2018. Yield on residential mortgage loans increased from 3.46% in 2017 to 3.57% in 2018, while yield on consumer loans increased from 4.20% in 2017 to 4.79% in 2018. The increases in yields on commercial loans and consumer loans, in
particular, were the result of the predominance of loans in these categories with variable rates of interest tied to prime and LIBOR which increased significantly from 2017 to 2018.
Our net interest margin for 2018 was negatively impacted from a 25 basis point increase in our cost of funds from 0.51% for 2017 to 0.76% for 2018. Average
interest bearing liabilities increased from $1.11 billion in 2017 to $1.24 billion in 2018. Increases in the rates paid on certain deposit account types in response to market rates and additional other borrowings caused the increase in our cost of
funds. These costs have increased at a much lower level than yields on our interest earning assets, allowing for the increase in our net interest margin in each period. With the recent increases in the federal funds rate, we anticipate some
additional increase in our funding costs, but again with a lesser impact than on our interest earning assets.
We are encouraged by the increase in higher yielding average earning assets in 2018 and expect these balances to continue to increase in 2019, which should
continue to positively affect net interest income.
The following table shows an analysis of net interest margin for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands).

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for 2018
was $450,000 compared to a negative $1.35 million for 2017. The level of provision in each period was the result of continued realization of recoveries, a reduction in the balances of and required reserves on nonperforming loans, and stabilizing real
estate values on problem credits. While we did have net charge-offs in 2018, this followed a period when we experienced net recoveries in five consecutive full years. Our low levels of charge-offs and net recoveries in recent years were
attributable to positive results from our active collection efforts.
Our overall commercial loan grade has stabilized and has been below 4.00 for the past several years. Our weighted average commercial loan grade was 3.68 at
December 31, 2018 and 3.74 at December 31, 2017. Our loan grade improvement has also been a contributing factor to allowing for the reduction in the level of the allowance for loan losses.
The amounts of loan loss provision in each period were the result of establishing our allowance for loan losses at levels believed necessary based upon our
methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance. The sustained level of net recoveries over the past several years has had a significant effect on the historical loss component of our methodology. More information about our allowance for
loan losses and our methodology for establishing its level may be found in this Item 7 of this report under the heading “Allowance for Loan Losses” below and in Item 8 of this report in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Noninterest Income: Noninterest income totaled $17.5 million in 2018

Revenue from deposit services was $4.4 million in 2018 compared to $4.5 million in 2017. The decrease from 2017 to 2018 was due primarily to lower levels of
overdraft fee income and business account fee income. While gross fee income on business accounts increased due to growth in balances, the earnings credit offset to those fees, earned by our customers through holding high balances, increased by
slightly more than the gross fees.
Net gains on mortgage loans included gains on the sale of real estate mortgage loans in the secondary market. We sell the majority of the fixed-rate
mortgage loans we originate. We do not retain the servicing rights for the loans we sell.
A summary of gain on sales of loans and related loan volume was as follows (in thousands):

As demonstrated in the table above, volume of mortgage loans originated for sale was down significantly in 2018 compared to 2017. Rising interest
rates over the past three years have significantly impacted mortgage sale production volume. During 2018, more of our mortgage production volume was in products we retain in portfolio than in prior years, also contributing to the reduction in gains
on sales of mortgage loans in 2018. In addition, during the past three years, we have seen a shift in our mortgage production from refinance activity to purchase activity.
Trust service revenue increased $366,000 in 2018. This increase was due to growth in our trust service customer base and improvements in general
market conditions through most of 2018.
ATM and debit card processing income increased $328,000 in 2018 to $5.5 million compared to $5.2 million in 2017. This increase reflected a
continued increase in usage from current customers and overall growth in the number of debit and ATM card customers. Promotional efforts to increase volume in these low cost transaction alternatives continued to be successful. Our uChoose Rewards
program also continued to have a positive impact on this income.
We did not sell any securities in 2018 and sold securities resulting in net gains of $3,000 in 2017. The sales in 2017 were done to reposition
certain holdings in our investment portfolio in response to changes in market rates during the year. We continually review our securities portfolio and will dispose of securities that pose higher than desired credit or market risk.
Other categories of noninterest income totaled $3.0 million in 2018 and $2.9 million in 2017. Earnings from bank owned life insurance decreased by
$27,000 in 2018 compared to 2017 due to general decline in the performance of the underlying investments. ORE rental income was $500,000 in 2018 compared to $507,000 in 2017. The year over year changes were a result of changes in rental
arrangements on some of these properties.
Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense was $44.3 million in 2018
and $43.7 million in 2017. The limited increase in total noninterest expense reflected our active management of controllable costs. The components of noninterest expense are shown in the table below (in thousands):

Salaries and benefit expense was the largest component of noninterest expense and was $25.2 million in 2018 and $24.8 million in 2017. The increase in 2018
was primarily driven by salary and wage performance adjustments, higher medical and dental insurance costs and an increase in retirement benefit costs in 2018.
Costs associated with nonperforming assets remained at low levels, totaling $69,000 in 2018 and $65,000 in 2017. These costs included legal costs,
repossessed and foreclosed property administration expense and losses (gains) on repossessed and foreclosed properties. Repossessed and foreclosed property administration expense included survey and appraisal, property maintenance and management and
other disposition and carrying costs. Losses on repossessed and foreclosed properties included both net gains and losses on the sale of properties and unrealized losses from value declines for outstanding properties.
These costs are itemized in the following table (in thousands):

During 2018, we added $293,000 in other real estate and sold $2.2 million of other real estate and repossessed assets, allowing for another
meaningful reduction in our year-end balance, bringing it from $5.8 million at December 31, 2017 to $3.4 million at December 31, 2018. During 2018, we received a distribution of $675,000 from the sale of a property held by a partnership we had
acquired an interest in satisfaction of a loan in the 1990s. This property had been carried at $0, so the entire distribution resulted in net gain treatment. During 2017 we sold our largest remaining other real estate owned property (carry value of
$3.4 million) for a net gain of $68,000. This property was responsible for a significant portion of our nonperforming asset expenses, including maintenance, property taxes and utility costs. In 2017 we added $120,000 in other real estate and sold
$7.0 million.
FDIC assessments decreased to $518,000 in 2018 compared to $539,000 in 2017 primarily due to our assessment category and changes to the FDIC
insurance assessment methodology. Further discussion regarding the determination of FDIC assessments for the Bank may be found in Item 1 of this report under the heading “Supervision and Regulation.”
Insurance costs for bond and directors and officers (“D&O”) insurance decreased from $471,000 in 2017 to $440,000 in 2018. The reduction
experienced in 2018 was a result of the improvement in financial condition, which demonstrated to the insurance carriers our lower risk and resulted in a reduction in premiums charged.
Occupancy expense increased by $67,000 in 2018
primarily due to an increase in snow removal costs and property taxes, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense on our buildings and outside grounds maintenance. Furniture and equipment expense increased by $75,000 in 2018 primarily
due to an increase in software and equipment service contracts, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense.
Data processing expenses were $3.0 million in 2018 compared to $2.8 million in 2017. The increase in these expenses in 2018 was due to increases
in customer usage of certain e-banking channels, such as online banking, mobile banking and electronic bill pay services.
Other noninterest expenses not discussed above were flat at $8.1 million in 2018 and $8.1 million in 2017.
Federal Income Tax Expense: We recorded
federal income tax expense of $6.0 million in 2018 and $10.7 million in 2017. Our effective tax rate was 18.46% for 2018 and 39.72% for 2017. In December 2017, a law was enacted which changed the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%,
beginning January 1, 2018. Accordingly, our deferred tax assets and liabilities were adjusted at December 31, 2017 using the 21% corporate federal income tax rate, resulting in a $2.5 million increase in federal income tax expense for 2017.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Summary: Total assets were $1.98 billion at
December 31, 2018, an increase of $84.9 million from $1.89 billion at December 31, 2017. This change reflected increases of $9.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $6.3 million in securities available for sale, $85.3 million in our loan portfolio
and $941,000 in bank owned life insurance, partially offset by a decrease of $15.5 million in securities held to maturity and $1.8 million in other real estate owned. Total deposits increased by $97.7 million and other borrowed funds were down by
$32.1 million at December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017.
Total shareholders’ equity increased by $17.9 million from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. Shareholders’ equity was increased by $26.4
million of net income in 2018, partially offset by cash dividends of $8.5 million, or $0.25 per share. Shareholders’ equity also decreased by $733,000 in 2018 as a result of a swing in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the effect of
interest rate movement on the fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Our cash and cash equivalents, which
include federal funds sold and short-term investments, were $171.3 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $161.5 million at December 31, 2017. This $9.8 million increase was primarily due to growth in year-end deposits which outpaced growth in
loans and investments.
Securities: Securities available for sale were $227.0 million at
December 31, 2018 compared to $220.7 million at December 31, 2017. The balance at December 31, 2018 primarily consisted of U.S. agency securities, agency mortgage backed securities and various municipal investments. Our held to maturity portfolio
decreased from $85.8 million at December 31, 2017 to $70.3 million at December 31, 2018. Our held to maturity portfolio is comprised of state aid notes and locally sourced municipal and commercial bonds. The commercial bond component of this
category declined by $10.0 million in 2018. These bonds represent financing provided to some of our non-profit commercial customers who qualified for borrowing on a tax-exempt basis.
Portfolio Loans and Asset Quality: Total portfolio loans increased
by $85.3 million to $1.41 billion at December 31, 2018 compared to $1.32 billion at December 31, 2017. During 2018, our commercial portfolio increased by $74.9 million, while our residential mortgage portfolio increased by $13.7 million and our
consumer portfolio decreased by $3.3 million.
The volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale in 2018 decreased compared to 2017 due to the mortgage rate environment and customer preference
for loan types that we hold in portfolio, primarily adjustable rate mortgages and balloon notes with terms less than ten years. Residential mortgage loans originated for sale were $33.9 million in 2018 compared to $57.0 million in 2017.
We experienced year over year growth in commercial loan balances for the past three years, increasing $81.4 million in 2016, $39.8 million in 2017 and $74.9
million in 2018. We plan to continue measured, high quality loan portfolio growth in 2019.
Commercial and commercial real estate loans remained our largest loan segment and accounted for 77.0% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2018 and
76.3% at December 31, 2017. Residential mortgage and consumer loans comprised 23.0% of total loans at December 31, 2018 and 23.7% at December 31, 2017.

Includes both owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate.
|
Commercial real estate loans accounted for 40.5% of the total loan portfolio at 2018 and consisted primarily of loans to business owners and
developers of owner and non-owner occupied commercial properties and loans to developers of single and multi-family residential properties. In the table above, we show our commercial real estate portfolio by loans secured by residential and
commercial real estate, and by stage of development. Improved loans are generally secured by properties that are under construction or completed and placed in use. Development loans are secured by properties that are in the process of development or
fully developed. Vacant and unimproved loans are secured by raw land for which development has not yet begun and agricultural land.
Total commercial real estate loans increased $26.8 million since December 31, 2017. Our commercial and industrial loan portfolio increased by $48.1
million to $513.3 million at December 31, 2018 and represented 36.5% of our commercial portfolio.
Our consumer residential mortgage loan portfolio, which also includes residential construction loans made to individual homeowners, comprised
approximately 16.9% of portfolio loans at December 31, 2018 and 17.0% at December 31, 2017. We expect to continue to retain in our loan portfolio certain types of residential mortgage loans (primarily high quality, low loan to value, adjustable rate
loans) in an effort to continue to diversify our credit risk and deploy our excess liquidity. A large portion of our residential mortgage loan production continues to be sold on the secondary market with servicing released.
The volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale during 2018 decreased significantly from 2017 as interest rates continued to increase
in 2018 and there was a shift in production to financing new home purchases versus refinancings. In addition, customer preference drove more production in loan product types we hold in portfolio, such as adjustable rate mortgages and balloons. As
of December 31, 2018, the Company had no repurchase demands or claims related to residential mortgage loans sold on the secondary market during the five-year period ended December 31, 2018.
Our portfolio of other consumer loans includes loans secured by personal property and home equity fixed term and line of credit loans. Consumer
loans decreased by $3.3 million to $85.4 million at December 31, 2018 from $88.7 million at December 31, 2017 primarily due to a decrease in home equity loans. Consumer loans comprised approximately 6.1% of our portfolio loans at December 31, 2018
and 6.7% at December 31, 2017.

The table above demonstrates that our loan origination activity in 2018 was higher than in 2017. Considering our loan origination momentum and our pipeline
of commercial credits at December 31, 2018, we expect to achieve measured, high quality loan portfolio growth in 2019.
Our loan portfolio is reviewed regularly by our senior management, our loan officers, and an internal loan review team that is independent of our loan
originators and credit administration. An administrative loan committee consisting of senior management and seasoned lending and collections personnel meets monthly to manage our internal watch list and proactively manage high risk loans.
When reasonable doubt exists concerning collectability of interest or principal of one of our loans, the loan is placed in nonaccrual status. Any interest
previously accrued but not collected is reversed and charged against current earnings.
Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonperforming loans, foreclosed assets and repossessed assets. At December 31, 2018, nonperforming assets totaled $4.7
million compared to $6.2 million at December 31, 2017. Additions to other real estate owned in 2018 were $293,000, compared to $0 in 2017. Based on the loans currently in their redemption period, we expect there to be few additions to other real
estate owned in 2019. Proceeds from sales of foreclosed and repossessed properties were $2.9 million in 2018, resulting in a net realized gain on sale of $530,000. Proceeds from sales of foreclosed properties were $7.0 million in 2017 resulting in
a net realized gain on sale of $557,000. We expect the level of sales of foreclosed properties in 2019 to be lower than the level experienced in 2018.
Nonperforming loans include loans on nonaccrual status and loans delinquent more than 90 days but still accruing. As of December 31, 2018, nonperforming
loans totaled $1.3 million, or 0.09% of total portfolio loans, compared to $395,000, or 0.03% of total portfolio loans, at December 31, 2017.
There were no nonperforming loans for development or sale of 1-4 family residential properties at December 31, 2018 or 2017. The remaining balance of
nonperforming loans at December 31, 2018 consisted of $318,000 of commercial real estate loans secured by various types of non-residential real estate, $874,000 of commercial and industrial loans, and $112,000 of consumer and residential mortgage
loans.
Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans. Foreclosed assets totaled $3.4 million at December 31, 2018 and $5.8
million at December 31, 2017. Of this balance at December 31, 2018, there were 10 commercial real estate properties totaling approximately $3.3 million. The remaining balance was comprised of 1 residential property totaling approximately $38,000.
All properties acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure are initially transferred at their fair value less estimated costs to sell and then evaluated monthly for impairment after transfer using a lower of cost or market approach. Updated property
valuations are obtained at least annually on all foreclosed assets.
At December 31, 2018, our foreclosed asset portfolio had a weighted average age held in portfolio of 7.09 years. Below is a breakout of our foreclosed asset
portfolio at December 31, 2018 and 2017 by property type and the percentages the property has been written down since taken into our possession and the combined writedown percentage, including losses taken when the property was loan collateral

We had a total of $16.2 million and $22.1 million of loans whose terms have been modified in TDRs as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These
loans may have involved the restructuring of terms to allow customers to mitigate the risk of foreclosure by meeting a lower loan payment requirement based upon their current cash flow. These may also include loans that renewed at existing
contractual rates, but below market rates for comparable credit. For each restructuring, a comprehensive credit underwriting analysis of the borrower’s financial condition and prospects of repayment under the revised terms is performed to assess
whether the structure can be successful and that cash flows will be sufficient to support the restructured debt. An analysis is also performed to determine whether the restructured loan should be on accrual status. Generally, if the loan is on
accrual at the time of restructure, it will remain on accrual after the restructuring. In some cases, a nonaccrual loan may be placed on accrual at restructuring if the loan’s actual payment history demonstrates it would have cash flowed under the
restructured terms. After six consecutive payments under the restructured terms, a nonaccrual restructured loan is reviewed for possible upgrade to accruing status. In situations where there is a subsequent modification or renewal and the loan is
brought to market terms, including a contractual interest rate not less than a market interest rate for new debt with similar credit risk characteristics, the TDR and impaired designations may be removed.
As with other impaired loans, an allowance for loan loss is estimated for each TDR based on the most likely source of repayment for each loan. For impaired
commercial real estate loans that are collateral dependent, the allowance is computed based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell. For impaired commercial loans where repayment is expected from cash flows from
business operations, the allowance is computed based on a discounted cash flow computation. Certain groups of TDRs, such as residential mortgages, have common characteristics and for them the allowance is computed based on a discounted cash flow
computation on the change in weighted rate for the pool. The allowance allocations for commercial TDRs where we have reduced the contractual interest rate are computed by measuring cash flows using the new payment terms discounted at the original
contractual rate.
Allowance for loan losses: Determining the appropriate level of the
allowance for loan losses is highly subjective. Timely identification of risk rating changes within the commercial loan portfolio is key to our process of establishing an appropriate allowance balance. The internal risk rating system is discussed
below.
The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2018 was $16.9 million, an increase of $276,000, compared to $16.6 million at December 31, 2017. The balance
of the allowance for loan losses was 1.20% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2018 compared to 1.26% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2017. While this ratio decreased, the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loan coverage ratio
remained high at 1,294.17% at December 31, 2018 compared to 4,202.53% at December 31, 2017.
The following is a summary of our portfolio loan balances at the end of each period and the daily average balance of these loans. It also includes changes
in the allowance for loan losses arising from loans charged-off, recoveries on loans previously charged-off, and provisions for loan losses.

The continued reduction in net charge-offs over the last several years has had a significant effect on the historical loss component of our allowance for

Nonperforming loans have been low over the past several years. At December 31, 2018, we have had net loan recoveries in fifteen of the past sixteen
quarters. Perhaps even more importantly, our total delinquencies have continued to be minimal, and were just $0.9 million at December 31, 2018.
These factors all provide for a reduction in our allowance for loan losses, and thus impact our provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was
$450,000 for 2018 compared to a negative $1.35 million for 2017. The provision in each period was partially due to decreases in nonperforming loans and favorable net charge-off/recovery experience. We had net charge-offs in 2018 totaling $174,000
compared to net recoveries of $1.0 million in 2017. The ratio of net charge-offs / (recoveries) to average loans was 0.01% for 2018 compared to (0.08)% for 2017.
We are encouraged by the low level of charge-offs over the past several years. We do, however, recognize that future charge-offs and resulting provisions for
loan losses are expected to be impacted by the timing and extent of changes in the overall economy and the real estate markets.
Our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed appropriate based upon our assessment of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan
portfolio. Our methodology for measuring the appropriate level of allowance and related provision for loan losses relies on several key elements, which include specific allowances for loans considered impaired, general allowance for commercial loans
not considered impaired based upon applying our loan rating system, and general allocations based on historical trends for homogeneous loan groups with similar risk characteristics.
Impaired loans decreased $4.9 million, or 22%, to $17.2 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $22.1 million at December 31, 2017. The specific allowance
for impaired loans declined $110,000 to $1.1 million, or 6.4% of total impaired loans, at December 31, 2018 compared to $1.2 million, or 5.5% of total impaired loans, at December 31, 2017.
Specific allowances are established on individually impaired credits where we believe it is probable that a loss may be incurred. Specific allowances are
determined based on discounting estimated cash flows over the life of the loan or based on the fair value of collateral supporting the loan. For commercial real estate loans, generally appraisals are used to estimate the fair value of the collateral
and determine the appropriate specific allowance. Estimated selling costs are also considered in the estimate. When it becomes apparent that liquidation of the collateral is the only source of repayment, the collateral shortfall is charged off
rather than carried as a specific allowance.
The general allowance (referred to as “formula allowance”) allocated to commercial loans that were not considered to be impaired was based upon the internal
risk grade of such loans. We use a loan rating method based upon an eight point system. Loans are stratified between real estate secured and non-real estate secured. The real estate secured portfolio is further stratified by the type of real
estate. Each stratified portfolio is assigned a loss allocation factor. Generally, a worse grade assigned to a loan category results in a greater allocation percentage. Changes in risk grade of loans affect the amount of the allowance allocation.
The determination of our loss factors is based upon our actual loss history by loan grade and adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s
judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the analysis date. We use a rolling 18 month (6 quarter) actual net charge-off history as the base for our computation for commercial loans. The 18 month period ended December 31, 2018
reflected net recoveries. We addressed this volatility in the qualitative factor considerations applied in our allowance computation. Adjustments to the qualitative factors also involved consideration of different loss periods for the Bank,
including 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 month periods. We also considered the extended period of improved asset quality in assessing the overall qualitative component. Considering the change in our qualitative factors and changes in our commercial loan
portfolio balances, the general commercial loan allowance increased $396,000 to $12.8 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $12.4 million at December 31, 2017. The general reserve increase was primarily due to commercial loan portfolio growth.
The qualitative component of our allowance allocated to commercial loans was $12.0 million at December 31, 2018, down from $12.6 million at December 31, 2017.
Groups of homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate and open- and closed-end consumer loans, receive allowance allocations based on loan type. A
rolling 12 month (4 quarter) historical loss experience period was applied to residential mortgage and consumer loan portfolios. As with commercial loans that are not considered impaired, the determination of the allowance allocation percentage is
based principally on our historical loss experience. These allocations are adjusted for consideration of general economic and business conditions, credit quality and delinquency trends, collateral values, and recent loss experience for these similar
pools of loans. The homogeneous loan allowance was $3.0 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $3.0 million at December 31, 2017.
As noted above, the formula allowance allocated to commercial loans that are not considered to be impaired is calculated by applying historical loss factors
to outstanding loans based on the internal risk rating of such loans. We use a loan rating method based upon an eight point system. Loans rated a 4 or better are considered of acceptable risk. Loans rated a 5 exhibit above-normal risk to the
Company and warrant a greater level of attention by management. These loans are subject to on-going review and assessment by our Administrative Loan Committee. Loans rated a 6 or worse are considered substandard, doubtful or loss, exhibit a greater
relative risk of loss to the Company based upon the rating and warrant an active workout plan administered by our Special Asset Group.
The qualitative factors assessed and used to adjust historical loss experience reflect our assessment of the impact of economic trends, delinquency and other
problem loan trends, trends in valuations supporting underlying collateral, changes in loan portfolio concentrations, effect of changes in interest rates on loan collectability, competition and changes in internal credit administration practices have
on probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Qualitative adjustments are inherently subjective and there can be no assurance that these adjustments have properly identified probable losses in our loan portfolio. More information regarding the
subjectivity involved in determining the estimate of the allowance for loan losses may be found in this Item 7 of this report under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
The following table shows the allocation of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio type at the dates indicated.

With the exception of certain TDRs, impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2018 were classified as substandard or worse per our internal risk rating
system. $4.2 million of residential mortgage TDRs were associated with programs approved by the U.S. government during 2009 to minimize the number of consumer foreclosures. These loans involved the restructuring of terms on consumer mortgages to
allow customers to mitigate foreclosure by meeting a lower loan payment requirement based upon their current cash flow. Also included in this category are certain consumer home equity loans that were restructured maturing home equity lines of credit
that did not qualify for traditional term financing. We have been actively working with our customers to reduce the risk of foreclosure using these programs. Additional information regarding impaired loans at December 31, 2018 and 2017 may be found
in Item 8 of this report in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The decrease in the level of the allowance for 2018 was due to a reduction in the level of impaired loans, reduction in specific reserves allocated to
impaired loans, stabilization in the loan grades and a reduction in qualitative factor allocations for commercial loans, which provided a lower allocation. Our weighted average loan grade was 3.73 at December 31, 2016, 3.74 at December 31, 2017 and
3.68 at December 31, 2018. The increase of $321,000 in reserves on commercial loans for 2018 was due to a $64,000 decrease in specific reserves on impaired loans and a $385,000 increase in the loss allocation factor on non-impaired loans, due to
growth in commercial loans at December 31, 2018.
Of the $16.9 million allowance at December 31, 2018, 6% related to specific allocations on impaired loans, 76% related to formula allowance on commercial loans and 18%
related to general allocations for homogeneous loans. Of the $16.6 million allowance at December 31, 2017, 7% related to specific allocations on impaired loans, 75% related to formula allowance on commercial loans and 18% related to general
allocations for homogeneous loans. Of the $15.8 million total formula based allowance for loan loss allocations at December 31, 2018, $14.9 million is from general/environmental allocations and $872,000 was driven from historical experience. Of the
$15.4 million total formula based allowance for loan loss allocations at December 31, 2017, $16.4 million is from general/environmental allocations with a negative $1.0 million driven from historical experience. The above allocations are not
intended to imply limitations on usage of the allowance. The entire allowance is available for any loan losses without regard to loan type.
More information regarding steps to address the elevated levels of substandard, impaired and nonperforming loans may be found in this Item 7 of this
report under the heading “Portfolio Loans and Asset Quality” above and in Item 8 of this report in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Although we believe our allowance for loan losses has captured the losses that are probable in our portfolio as of December 31, 2018, there can be no
assurance that all losses have been identified or that the allowance is sufficient. The additional efforts by management to accelerate the identification and disposition of problem assets discussed above, and the impact of the lasting economic
slowdown, may result in additional losses in 2019.
Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment totaled $44.9
million at December 31, 2018 compared to $46.6 million at December 31, 2017 as capital additions were offset by depreciation of current facilities during 2018.
Bank owned life insurance (BOLI): The Bank has purchased life
insurance policies on certain officers. BOLI is recorded at its currently realizable cash surrender value and totaled $41.2 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $40.2 million at December 31, 2017.
Deposits and Other Borrowings: Total deposits increased $97.7
million to $1.68 billion at December 31, 2018, as compared to $1.58 billion at December 31, 2017. Noninterest checking account balances decreased $5.1 million in 2018. Interest bearing demand account balances increased $47.4 million and savings
and money market account balances increased $21.5 million in 2018 while our certificates of deposits (primarily short-term) increased by $33.9 million in 2018. We believe our success in maintaining and increasing the balances of personal and
business checking and savings accounts was primarily attributable to our focus on quality customer service, the desire of customers to deal with a local bank, the convenience of our branch network and the breadth and depth of our product line.
Noninterest bearing demand accounts comprised 29% of total deposits at December 31, 2018 compared to 31% of total deposits at December 31, 2017. Because
of the generally low rates paid on interest bearing account alternatives, many of our business customers chose to keep their balances in these more liquid noninterest bearing demand account types. Interest bearing demand, money market and savings
accounts, comprised 64% of total deposits at December 31, 2018 and 63% at December 31, 2017. Time accounts as a percentage of total deposits were 7% at December 31, 2018 and 6% at December 31, 2017.
Borrowed funds totaled $101.2 million at December 31, 2018 including $60.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and $41.2 million in long-term debt
associated with trust preferred securities. Borrowed funds totaled $133.3 million at December 31, 2017 including $92.1 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and $41.2 million in long-term debt associated with trust preferred securities.
Borrowed funds decreased by $32.1 million in 2018 due to maturities totaling $52.1 million, more than offsetting the addition of $20.0 million in FHLB advances during 2018.
The Company has outstanding $40.0 million aggregate liquidation amount of pooled trust preferred securities (“TRUPs”) issued through its wholly-owned
subsidiary grantor trusts, Macatawa Statutory Trust I (issued $20.0 million aggregate liquidation amount with floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.05%) and Macatawa Statutory Trust II (issued $20.0 million aggregate liquidation amount
with a floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.75%).
Information regarding our off-balance sheet commitments may be found in Item 8 of this report in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total shareholders’ equity increased by $17.9 million from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018. Shareholders’ equity was increased by $26.4 million of
net income in 2018, partially offset by cash dividends of $8.5 million, or $0.25 per share. Shareholders’ equity also decreased by $733,000 in 2018 as a result of a swing in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the effect of interest rate
movement on the fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio. As of December 31, 2018, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines.
Our regulatory capital ratios (on a consolidated basis) were stable in 2018 and ended among the highest year-end levels in the Company’s history.
The following table shows our regulatory capital ratios (on a consolidated basis) for the past three years.

Our Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends to common shareholders beginning with the first quarter of 2014, and each subsequent quarter in
2014 through 2018. The declaration and payment of future dividends to common shareholders will be considered by the Board of Directors in its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition and anticipated
profitability.
All of the $40.0 million of trust preferred securities outstanding at December 31, 2018 qualified as Tier 1 capital.
Capital sources include, but are not limited to, additional private and public common stock offerings, preferred stock offerings and subordinated debt.
On July 3, 2013, the FDIC Board of Directors approved the Regulatory Capital Interim Final Rule, implementing Basel III. This rule redefined Tier 1
capital as two components (Common Equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1), created a new capital ratio (Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-based Capital Ratio) and implemented a capital conservation buffer. It also revised the prompt corrective action
thresholds and made changes to risk weights for certain assets and off-balance-sheet exposures. Banks were required to transition into the new rule beginning on January 1, 2015. Based on our capital levels and balance sheet composition at
December 31, 2018, we believe implementation of the new rule had no material impact on our capital needs.

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity of Macatawa Bank: The liquidity of a financial
institution reflects its ability to manage 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 our investment and loan portfolios. Our sources of liquidity include our borrowing capacity with the FRB’s discount window, the Federal
Home Loan Bank, federal funds purchased lines of credit and other secured borrowing sources with our correspondent banks, loan payments by our borrowers, maturity and sales of our securities available for sale, growth of our deposits, federal funds
sold and other short-term investments, 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. Our liquidity management involves periodic monitoring of our assets considered to be liquid and illiquid, and our funding sources considered to be core and non-core and short-term (less than 12 months) and
long-term. We have established parameters that monitor, among other items, our level of liquid assets to short-term liabilities, our level of non-core funding reliance and our level of available borrowing capacity. We maintain a diversified
wholesale funding structure and actively manage our maturing wholesale sources to reduce the risk to liquidity shortages. We have also developed a contingency funding plan to stress test our liquidity requirements arising from certain events that
may trigger liquidity shortages, such as rapid loan growth in excess of normal growth levels or the loss of deposits and other funding sources under extreme circumstances.
We maintain a non-core funding dependency ratio below our peer group average and have had no brokered deposits on our balance sheet since before December
2012. At December 31, 2018, the Bank held $130.8 million of federal funds sold and other short-term investments as well as $213.2 million of unpledged securities available for sale. In addition, the Bank’s available borrowing capacity from
correspondent banks was approximately $338.8 million as of December 31, 2018.
In the normal course of business, we enter into certain contractual obligations, including obligations which are considered in our overall liquidity
management.

In addition to normal loan funding, we also maintain liquidity to meet customer financing needs through unused lines of credit, unfunded loan commitments
and standby letters of credit. The level and fluctuation of these commitments is also considered in our overall liquidity management. At December 31, 2018, we had a total of $486.2 million in unused lines of credit, $77.4 million in unfunded loan
commitments and $15.8 million in standby letters of credit.
Liquidity of Holding Company: The primary sources of liquidity for
the Company are dividends from the Bank, existing cash resources and the capital markets if the need to raise additional capital arises. Banking regulations and the laws of the State of Michigan in which our Bank is chartered limit the amount of
dividends the Bank may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year. Under the state law limitations, the Bank is restricted from paying dividends to the Company in excess of retained earnings. In 2017, the Bank paid dividends to the
Company totaling $7.9 million. In the same period, the Company paid dividends to its shareholders totaling $6.1 million. In 2018, the Bank paid dividends to the Company totaling $11.1 million. In the same period, the Company paid dividends to
its shareholders totaling $8.5 million. The Company retained the remaining balance in each period for general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2018, the Bank had a retained earnings balance of $64.8 million.
During 2018 and 2017, the Company received payments from the Bank totaling $5.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively, representing the Bank’s
intercompany tax liability for the 2018 and 2017 tax years, respectively, in accordance with the Company’s tax allocation agreement.
The Company has the right to defer interest payments for 20 consecutive quarters on its trust preferred securities if necessary for liquidity purposes.
During the deferral period, the Company may not declare or pay any dividends on its common stock or make any payment on any outstanding debt obligations that rank equally with or junior to the trust preferred securities.
The Company’s cash balance at December 31, 2018 was $6.4 million. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its cash flow obligations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES:
To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and
assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, other real estate owned valuation, loss
contingencies and income taxes are deemed critical due to the required level of management judgment and the use of estimates, making them particularly subject to change.
Our methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses and the related provision for loan losses is described above in the “Allowance for Loan
Losses” discussion. This area of accounting requires significant judgment due to the number of factors which can influence the collectability of a loan. Unanticipated changes in these factors could significantly change the level of the allowance
for loan losses and the related provision for loan losses. Although, based upon our internal analysis, and in our judgment, we believe that we have provided an adequate allowance for loan losses, there can be no assurance that our analysis has
properly identified all of the probable losses in our loan portfolio. As a result, we could record future provisions for loan losses that may be significantly different than the levels that we recorded in 2018.
Assets acquired through or instead of foreclosure, primarily other real estate owned, are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell
when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. New real estate appraisals are generally obtained at the time of foreclosure and are used to establish fair value. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense.
Estimating the initial and ongoing fair value of these properties involves a number of factors and judgments including holding time, costs to complete, holding costs, discount rate, absorption and other factors.
Loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. This,
too, is an accounting area that involves significant judgment. Although, based upon our judgment, internal analysis, and consultations with legal counsel we believe that we have properly accounted for loss contingencies, future changes in the
status of such contingencies could result in a significant change in the level of contingent liabilities and a related impact to operating earnings.
Our accounting for income taxes involves the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities primarily associated with differences in the timing of the
recognition of revenues and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. At December 31, 2018, we had gross deferred tax assets of $4.9 million and gross deferred tax liabilities of $1.5 million resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $3.5
million. Accounting standards require that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard. At
December 31, 2018, a valuation allowance of $92,000 was established against a capital loss carryforward created by the liquidation of the assets of a partnership interest the Bank acquired through a loan settlement thereby reducing net deferred tax
assets to $3.4 million as of December 31, 2018. With the positive results in 2018, we concluded at December 31, 2018 that no other valuation allowance on our net deferred tax asset was required. Changes in tax laws, changes in tax rates, changes
in ownership and our future level of earnings can impact the ultimate realization of our net deferred tax asset. As such, in the fourth quarter of 2017 we revalued our deferred tax assets and liabilities using a 21% federal corporate income tax
rate due to the enactment of “H.R.1”, also known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”, which was signed into law on December 22, 2017.
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 December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands).

If interest rates were to increase, this analysis suggests that we are positioned for an increase in net interest income over the next twelve months. If
interest rates were to decrease, this analysis suggests that we are positioned for a decrease in net interest income over the next twelve months.
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.

MACATAWA BANK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Macatawa Bank Corporation (“Macatawa” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Macatawa Bank (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Macatawa Bank is a Michigan chartered bank with depository accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank operates 26 full service
branch offices providing a full range of commercial and consumer banking and trust services in Kent County, Ottawa County, and northern Allegan County, Michigan.
The Company owns all of the common securities of Macatawa Statutory Trust I and Macatawa Statutory Trust II. These are grantor trusts that issued trust
preferred securities and are discussed in a separate note. Under generally accepted accounting principles, these trusts are not consolidated into the financial statements of the Company.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the
disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred tax assets, loss contingencies, fair value of other real estate owned and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to
change.
Concentration of Credit Risk: Loans are granted to, and deposits are obtained
from, customers primarily in the western Michigan area as described above. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral, including residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial assets and consumer assets.
Commercial real estate loans are the largest concentration, comprising 40% of total loans at December 31, 2018. Commercial and industrial loans total 37%, while residential real estate and consumer loans make up the remaining 23%. Other financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand,
demand deposits with other financial institutions and short-term securities (securities with maturities equal to or less than 90 days and federal funds sold).
Cash Flow Reporting: Cash flows are reported net for customer loan and deposit
transactions, interest-bearing time deposits with other financial institutions and short-term borrowings with maturities of 90 days or less.
Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve
Bank of $7.0 million and $6.1 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.
Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at
amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities available for sale consist of those securities which might be sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risks, yield
and availability of alternative investments, liquidity needs or other factors. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at their fair value and the related unrealized gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income, net of
tax.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level yield method
without anticipating prepayments. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market
conditions warrant such an evaluation. Investment securities classified as available for sale or held-to-maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under ASC Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Instruments.
In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost,
(2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required
to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in
time. Management has determined that no OTTI charges were necessary during 2018 and 2017.
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB
system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated
for impairment. Because this stock is viewed as a long term investment, impairment is based on ultimate recovery of par value. Management has determined that there is no impairment of FHLB stock. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as
income.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the
secondary market are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, these loans had a net unrealized gain of $10,000 and $21,000, respectively, which are reflected in their
carrying value. Changes in fair value of loans held for sale are included in net gains on mortgage loans. Loans are sold servicing released; therefore no mortgage servicing right assets are established.
Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs and an allowance for loan losses.
Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in
interest income over the respective term of the loan using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.
Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process
of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection
of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for
on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually
due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries, and decreased by charge-offs of loans. Management believes the estimated allowance for loan losses to be adequate based on known and inherent
risks in the portfolio, past loan loss experience, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire
allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The
general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current qualitative environmental factors. The Company maintains a loss migration analysis that tracks loan losses and recoveries based on loan
class as well as the loan risk grade assignment for commercial loans. At December 31, 2018, an 18 month (six quarter) annualized historical loss experience was used for commercial loans and a 12 month (four quarter) historical loss experience
period was applied to residential mortgage and consumer loan portfolios. These historical loss percentages are adjusted (both upwards and downwards) for certain qualitative environmental factors, including economic trends, credit quality trends,
valuation trends, concentration risk, quality of loan review, changes in personnel, competition, increasing interest rates, external factors and other considerations.
A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is believed to be probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.
Commercial and commercial real estate loans with relationship balances exceeding $500,000 and an internal risk grading of 6 or worse are evaluated for
impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing interest rate or at the fair value of collateral, less
estimated costs to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, they
are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
Troubled debt restructurings are also considered impaired with impairment generally measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the
loan’s effective rate at inception or using the fair value of collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted
for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain
it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreclosed Assets : Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure,
primarily other real estate owned, are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition
are expensed unless they add value to the property.
Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years.
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years. Maintenance, repairs and minor alterations are charged to current operations as expenditures occur and major
improvements are capitalized.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI): The Bank has purchased life insurance
policies on certain officers. BOLI is recorded at its currently realizable cash surrender value. Changes in cash surrender value are recorded in other income.
Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets: Goodwill resulting from business
combinations represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are
not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The Company had no goodwill at December 31, 2018 and
2017.
Acquired intangible assets consist of core deposit and customer relationship intangible assets arising from acquisitions. They are initially measured at
fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which range from ten to sixteen years. The Company had no acquired intangible assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are
reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value. The Company had one property held for sale included in other assets
that was determined to be impaired and an impairment charge of $234,000 was applied at December 31, 2018. The Company had no impairment of long term assets in 2017.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments
include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer
collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives : Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest
rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated
based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. At times, the Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to
hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans.
Changes in the fair values of these interest rate lock and forward commitment derivatives are included in net gains on mortgage loans. The net fair value
of mortgage banking derivatives was approximately $15,000 and $5,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenues as they are earned based
on contractual terms, as transactions occur, or as services are provided and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s primary source of revenue is interest income from the Bank’s loans and investment securities. The Company also earns
noninterest revenue from various banking services offered by the Bank.
Interest Income: The Company’s largest source of revenue is interest income which is primarily recognized on an accrual basis based on contractual terms
written into loans and investment contracts.
Noninterest Revenue: The Company derives the majority of its noninterest revenue from: (1) service charges for deposit related services, (2) gains related
to mortgage loan sales, (3) trust fees and (4) debit and credit card interchange income. Most of these services are transaction based and revenue is recognized as the related service is provided.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Derivatives: Certain of our commercial loan customers have entered into
interest rate swap agreements directly with the Bank. At the same time the Bank enters into a swap agreement with its customer, the Bank enters into a corresponding interest rate swap agreement with a correspondent bank at terms mirroring the
Bank’s interest rate swap with its commercial loan customer. This is known as a back-to-back swap agreement. Under this arrangement the Bank has two freestanding interest rate swaps, both of which are carried at fair value. As the terms mirror
each other, there is no income statement impact to the Bank. At December 31, 2018, the total notional amount of such agreements was $66.0 million and resulted in a derivative asset with a fair value of $700,000 which was included in other assets
and a derivative liability of $700,000 which was included in other liabilities. At December 31, 2017, the total notional amount of such agreements was $42.3 million and resulted in a derivative asset with a fair value of $197,000 which was
included in other assets and a derivative liability of $197,000 which was included in other liabilities.
Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax
due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities,
computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In December 2017, a law was enacted which changed the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%,
beginning January 1, 2018. Accordingly, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were adjusted at December 31, 2017 using the 21% corporate federal income tax rate resulting in a $2.5 million reduction to earnings in 2017.
The Company recognizes a tax position 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 Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2018-02, allowing for the reclassification of the income tax effects of the revaluation the
deferred tax impact on accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) due to the enactment of tax reform at the end of 2017. The Company’s only component of AOCI is the fair value adjustment for securities available for sale. Upon adoption of
this ASU, a transfer was made from AOCI to retained earnings in the amount of $278,000.
Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income
divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All outstanding unvested restricted stock awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation
and are included in both basic and diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. In the event of a net loss, our unvested restricted
stock awards are excluded from both basic and diluted earnings per share.
Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other
comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale.
Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Stock Splits and Dividends: Stock dividends in excess of 20% are reported as
stock splits, resulting in no adjustment to the Company’s equity accounts. Stock dividends for 20% or less are reported by transferring the fair value, as of the ex-dividend
date, of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock. Fractional share amounts are paid in cash with a reduction in retained earnings. All share and per share amounts are retroactively adjusted for stock splits and dividends.
Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital
levels and impose limitations on dividends paid by the Bank to the Company and by the Company to shareholders.
Subsequent Event: The FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund exceeded its targeted
reserve ratio of 1.35% and the FDIC sent the Bank a letter dated January 24, 2019 notifying the Bank that it would be apportioned a share of the excess in the form of credits to offset future assessments. The preliminary assessment credit for the
Bank was approximately $400,000. Total FDIC assessment expense for 2018 was $518,000, so this will significantly reduce the Bank’s expense in 2019.

December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair Values of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments
are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed separately. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other
factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The fair value estimates of existing on-and off-balance sheet financial instruments
do not include the value of anticipated future business or the values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments.
Segment Reporting: The Company, through the branch network of the Bank,
provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies in western Michigan. These services include demand, time and savings deposits; lending; ATM and debit card processing; cash management; and trust and brokerage services.
While the Company’s management team monitors the revenue streams of the various Company products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s banking
operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one operating segment – commercial banking.
Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were
reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards: FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new standard requires equity
investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The ASU also requires public
business entities to use exit price notation when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of
financial asset. The new standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption of this ASU by the Company was not material, but did result in a
reclassification of an equity investment from securities available for sale to other assets with its related market value changes reflected in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, the fair value disclosures for financial
instruments in Note 5 are computed using an exit price notion as required by the ASU.
FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606). The amendments in this Update create a new topic in the Codification, Topic 606. In addition to superseding and replacing nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, ASC 606
establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics and expands and improves disclosures
about revenue. In addition, ASU 2014-09 adds a new Subtopic to the Codification, ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers, to
provide guidance on costs related to obtaining a contract with a customer and costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are not in the scope of another ASC Topic. The new guidance does not apply to certain contracts within the
scope of other ASC Topics, such as lease contracts, insurance contracts, financing arrangements, financial instruments, guarantees other than product or service warranties, and nonmonetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to
facilitate sales to customers. The amendments were effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption of this ASU effective January 1, 2018 did not materially affect the
financial results of the Company. Additional disclosure has been added to Note 1 disclosing the composition of the Company’s noninterest revenue.
FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU addresses concerns regarding diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and
classified in the statement of cash flows. In particular, this ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce this diversity in practice: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon bonds;
(3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance
policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendments were effective for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods. The impact of adoption of this ASU by the Company on January 1, 2018 was not material.

December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects
from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU allows a company to make a one-time reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act, which was enacted at the end of 2017. ASU 2018-02 is effective for all entities with periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim
period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 are to be applied either in the period of adoption, or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the US federal corporate
income tax rate is recognized. The ASU requires a disclosure of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company early adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 and has recorded a
reclassification adjustment of $278,000 decreasing accumulated other comprehensive income and increasing retained earnings, effective December 31, 2017, and has included discussion as part of the Income Taxes accounting policy disclosure.
Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Standards: FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all
leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity may adopt the new guidance either by restating prior periods and recording a cumulative effect adjustment at the beginning of the earliest comparative period
presented or by recording a cumulative effect adjustment at the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company plans to apply the standard by recording a cumulative effect adjustment at January 1, 2019. As the Company owns most of its branch
locations, this ASU applied primarily to operating leases and the impact of adoption of this ASU by the Company was not material and will result in an $800,000 increase in assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets upon
adoption.
FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic
326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend
credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and
supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new guidance eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflects an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. The new guidance broadens the
information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually to include forecasted information, as well as past events and current conditions. There is no specified
method for measuring expected credit losses, and an entity is allowed to apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the credit loss estimate. Although an entity may still use its current systems and methods for recording the
allowance for credit losses, under the new rules, the inputs used to record the allowance for credit losses generally will need to change to appropriately reflect an estimate of all expected credit losses and the use of reasonable and supportable
forecasts. Additionally, credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities will now have to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim
periods within those years. The Company has selected a software vendor for applying this new ASU, began implementation of the software in the second quarter of 2018, completed data integration in the third quarter of 2018 and ran parallel
computations using the current GAAP incurred loss model in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company will use the new software beginning in January 2019 for the current GAAP incurred loss model as well as for more robust modeling of the impact of
the new current expected credit loss model presented by the ASU throughout 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for
Hedging Activities. This ASU simplifies and expands the eligible hedging strategies for financial and nonfinancial risks by more closely aligning hedge accounting with a company’s risk management activities, and also simplifies the
application of Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, through targeted improvements in key practice areas. This includes expanding the list of items eligible
to be hedged and amending the methods used to measure the effectiveness of hedging relationships. In addition, the ASU prescribes how hedging results should be presented and requires incremental disclosures. These changes are intended to allow
preparers more flexibility and to enhance the transparency of how hedging results are presented and disclosed. Further, the ASU provides partial relief on the timing of certain aspects of hedge documentation and eliminates the requirement to
recognize hedge ineffectiveness separately in earnings in the current period. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those
years. The Company does not expect the impact of adoption of this ASU to be material.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment
Management evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.
At December 31, 2018, 250 securities available for sale with fair values totaling $177.0 million had unrealized losses totaling $3.3 million. At December 31, 2018, 27 securities held to maturity with fair values totaling $13.2 million had
unrealized losses totaling $317,000. Management has the ability and intent to hold the securities classified as held to maturity until they mature, at which time the Company will receive full value for the securities. In addition, management
believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any of its investment securities before a recovery of cost. Management determined that the unrealized losses for each period were attributable to changes in interest
rates and not due to credit quality. As such, no OTTI charges were necessary during 2018 and 2017.
Securities with a carrying value of approximately $2.0 million and $2.0 million were pledged as security for public deposits, letters of credit and for
other purposes required or permitted by law at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

MACATAWA BANK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 3 – LOANS (Continued)
The Company had allocated $1,098,000 and $1,208,000 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings
(“TDRs”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These loans may have involved the restructuring of terms to allow customers to mitigate the risk of foreclosure by meeting a lower loan payment requirement based upon their current cash
flow. These may also include loans that renewed at existing contractual rates, but below market rates for comparable credit. The Company has been active at utilizing these programs and working with its customers to reduce the risk of
foreclosure. For commercial loans, these modifications typically include an interest only period and, in some cases, a lowering of the interest rate on the loan. In some cases, the modification will include separating the note into two notes with
the first note structured to be supported by current cash flows and collateral, and the second note made for the remaining unsecured debt. The second note is charged off immediately and collected only after the first note is paid in full. This
modification type is commonly referred to as an A-B note structure. For consumer mortgage loans, the restructuring typically includes a lowering of the interest rate to provide payment and cash flow relief. For each restructuring, a comprehensive
credit underwriting analysis of the borrower’s financial condition and prospects of repayment under the revised terms is performed to assess whether the structure can be successful and that cash flows will be sufficient to support the restructured
debt. An analysis is also performed to determine whether the restructured loan should be on accrual status. Generally, if the loan is on accrual at the time of restructure, it will remain on accrual after the restructuring. In some cases, a
nonaccrual loan may be placed on accrual at restructuring if the loan’s actual payment history demonstrates it would have cash flowed under the restructured terms. After six consecutive payments under the restructured terms, a nonaccrual
restructured loan is reviewed for possible upgrade to accruing status.
Based upon regulatory guidance issued in 2014, the Company has determined that in situations where there is a subsequent modification or renewal and the
loan is brought to market terms, including a contractual interest rate not less than a market interest rate for new debt with similar credit risk characteristics, the TDR and impaired loan designations may be removed. In addition, the TDR
designation may also be removed from loans modified under an A-B note structure. If the remaining “A” note is at a market rate at the time of restructuring (taking into account the borrower’s credit risk and prevailing market conditions), the loan
can be removed from TDR designation in a subsequent calendar year after six months of performance in accordance with the new terms. The market rate relative to the borrower’s credit risk is determined through analysis of market pricing information
gathered from peers and use of a loan pricing model. The general objective of the model is to achieve a consistent return on equity from one credit to the next, taking into consideration differences in credit risk. In the model, credits with
higher risk receive a higher potential loss allocation, and therefore require a higher interest rate to achieve the target return on equity.
As with other impaired loans, an allowance for loan loss is estimated for each TDR based on the most likely source of repayment for each loan. For
impaired commercial real estate loans that are collateral dependent, the allowance is computed based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell. For impaired commercial loans where repayment is expected from cash
flows from business operations, the allowance is computed based on a discounted cash flow computation. Certain groups of TDRs, such as residential mortgages, have common characteristics and for them the allowance is computed based on a discounted
cash flow computation on the change in weighted rate for the pool. The allowance allocations for commercial TDRs where we have reduced the contractual interest rate are computed by measuring cash flows using the new payment terms discounted at the
original contractual rate.

According to the accounting standards, not all loan modifications are TDRs. TDRs are modifications or renewals where the Company has granted a concession
to a borrower in financial distress. The Company reviews all modifications and renewals for determination of TDR status. In some situations a borrower may be experiencing financial distress, but the Company does not provide a concession. These
modifications are not considered TDRs. In other cases, the Company might provide a concession, such as a reduction in interest rate, but the borrower is not experiencing financial distress. This could be the case if the Company is matching a
competitor’s interest rate. These modifications would also not be considered TDRs. Finally, any renewals at existing terms for borrowers not experiencing financial distress would not be considered TDRs. As with other loans not considered TDR or
impaired, allowance allocations are based on the historical based allocation for the applicable loan grade and loan class.
Payment defaults on TDRs have been minimal and during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 the balance of loans that became delinquent by
more than 90 days past due or that were transferred to nonaccrual within 12 months of restructuring were not material.

NOTE 3 – LOANS (Continued)
Credit Quality Indicators: The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information,
historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually and classifies these relationships by credit risk grading. The Company
uses an eight point grading system, with grades 5 through 8 being considered classified, or watch, credits. All commercial loans are assigned a grade at origination, at each renewal or any amendment. When a credit is first downgraded to a watch
credit (either through renewal, amendment, loan officer identification or the loan review process), an Administrative Loan Review (“ALR”) is generated by the credit department and the loan officer. All watch credits have an ALR completed monthly
which analyzes the collateral position and cash flow of the borrower and its guarantors. The loan officer is required to complete both a short term and long term plan to rehabilitate or exit the credit and to give monthly comments on the progress
to these plans. Management meets quarterly with loan officers to discuss each of these credits in detail and to help formulate solutions where progress has stalled. When necessary, the loan officer proposes changes to the assigned loan grade as
part of the ALR. Additionally, Loan Review reviews all loan grades upon origination, renewal or amendment and again as loans are selected though the loan review process. The credit will stay on the ALR until either its grade has improved to a 4
or the credit relationship is at a zero balance. The Company uses the following definitions for the risk grades:
1. Excellent - Loans supported by extremely strong
financial condition or secured by the Bank’s own deposits. Minimal risk to the Bank and the probability of serious rapid financial deterioration is extremely small.
2. Above Average - Loans supported by sound financial
statements that indicate the ability to repay or borrowings secured (and margined properly) with marketable securities. Nominal risk to the Bank and probability of serious financial deterioration is highly unlikely. The overall quality of these
credits is very high.
3. Good Quality - Loans supported by satisfactory asset
quality and liquidity, good debt capacity coverage, and good management in all critical positions. Loans are secured by acceptable collateral with adequate margins. There is a slight risk of deterioration if adverse market conditions prevail.
4. Acceptable Risk - Loans carrying an acceptable risk to
the Bank, which may be slightly below average quality. The borrower has limited financial strength with considerable leverage. There is some probability of deterioration if adverse market conditions prevail. These credits should be monitored
closely by the Relationship Manager.
5. Marginally Acceptable - Loans are of marginal quality
with above normal risk to the Bank. The borrower shows acceptable asset quality but very little liquidity with high leverage. There is inconsistent earning performance without the ability to sustain adverse market conditions. The primary source of
repayment is questionable, but the secondary source of repayment still remains an option. Very close attention by the Relationship Manager and management is needed.
6. Substandard - Loans are inadequately protected by the
net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged. The primary and secondary sources of repayment are questionable. Heavy debt condition may be evident and volume and earnings deterioration may be underway. It is possible that
the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not immediately addressed and corrected.
7. Doubtful - Loans supported by weak or no financial
statements, as well as the ability to repay the entire loan, are questionable. Loans in this category are normally characterized less than adequate collateral, insolvent, or extremely weak financial condition. A loan classified doubtful has all the
weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses makes collection or liquidation in full highly questionable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, however, activity may be underway to
minimize the loss or maximize the recovery.
8. Loss - Loans are considered uncollectible and of little
or no value as a bank asset.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value include:
| Level 1 : |
Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the
ability to access as of the measurement date.
|
| Level 2 : |
Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
|
| Level 3 : |
Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
|
Investment Securities: The fair values of investment securities are determined
by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other
benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The fair values of certain securities held to maturity are determined by computing discounted cash flows using observable and unobservable market inputs (Level 3 inputs).
Loans Held for Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is based upon
binding quotes from third party investors (Level 2 inputs).

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE (Continued)
Impaired Loans: Loans identified as impaired are measured using one of three
methods: the loan’s observable market price, the fair value of collateral or the present value of expected future cash flows. For each period presented, no impaired loans were measured using the loan’s observable market price. If an impaired loan
has had a charge-off or if the fair value of the collateral is less than the recorded investment in the loan, we establish a specific reserve and report the loan as nonrecurring Level 3. The fair value of collateral of impaired loans is generally
based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the
appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Other Real Estate Owned : Other real estate owned (OREO) properties are
initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. Adjustments to OREO are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals or realtor
evaluations of the property. These appraisals and evaluations may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the
appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value,
less estimated costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized through a valuation allowance, and the property is reported as nonrecurring Level 3.
Interest Rate Swaps: For interest rate swap agreements, we measure fair
value utilizing pricing provided by a third-party pricing source that that uses market observable inputs, such as forecasted yield curves, and other unobservable inputs and accordingly, interest rate swap agreements are classified as Level 3.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows.
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, bank owned life insurance, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand
deposits, short-term borrowings and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities as
discussed above. For fixed rate loans, interest-bearing time deposits in other financial institutions and deposits, and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows
using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk (including consideration of widening credit spreads). Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of
FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance sheet credit-related items is not significant.
The estimated fair values of financial instruments disclosed above as of December 31, 2018 follow the guidance in ASU 2016-01 which prescribes an “exit
price” approach in estimating and disclosing fair value of financial instruments incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors. The fair values shown as of December 31, 2017 and prior use an “entry price” approach for
loans.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 9 – LONG TERM DEBT
The Company has outstanding $40.0 million aggregate liquidation amount of pooled trust preferred securities (“TRUPs”) issued through its wholly-owned
subsidiary grantor trusts. Macatawa Statutory Trust I issued $619,000 of common securities to the Company and $20.0 million aggregate liquidation amount of Preferred Securities with a floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.05%,
maturing on July 15, 2033. Macatawa Statutory Trust II issued $619,000 of common securities and $20.0 million aggregate liquidation amount of Preferred Securities with a floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.75%, maturing on March 18,
2034.
The Company issued subordinated debentures (“Debentures”) to each trust in exchange for ownership of all of the common securities of each trust and the
$41,238,000 in proceeds of the offerings, which Debentures represent the sole asset of each trust. The Preferred Securities represent an interest in the Company’s Debentures, which have terms that are similar to the Preferred Securities. The
Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of each trust (variable interest entity), therefore each trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, rather the Debentures are shown as a liability.
The Company has the option to defer interest payments on the Debentures from time to time for up to twenty consecutive quarterly payments, although
interest continues to accrue on the outstanding balance. During any deferral period, the Company may not declare or pay any dividends on the Company’s common stock or preferred stock or make any payment on any outstanding debt obligations that
rank equally with or junior to the Debentures. The Company also has the option to redeem and prepay both the TRUPs and the Debentures. At December 31, 2018, the Company does not have any intention to redeem or prepay either of the TRUPs or
Debentures.
At December 31, 2018 and 2017, Debentures totaling $41,238,000 are reported in liabilities as long-term debt, and the common securities of $1,238,000 and
unamortized debt issuance costs are included in other assets. The Preferred Securities may be included in Tier 1 capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. At December 31, 2018 and 2017,
approximately $40.0 million of the Preferred Securities issued qualified as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

Stock Options
Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of grant. Option awards have vesting periods ranging from one to
three years and have ten year contractual terms.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. Expected volatilities
are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and
represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The Company expects that all options granted will vest and become exercisable. The risk-free
interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
There were no options granted during 2018 and 2017. A summary of option activity in the plans is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per option

The realization of deferred tax assets (net of a recorded valuation allowance) is largely dependent upon future taxable income, future reversals of
existing taxable temporary differences and the ability to carryback losses to available tax years. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider positive and negative evidence, including taxable income in carry-back years, scheduled
reversals of deferred tax liabilities, expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. At December 31, 2018, a valuation allowance of $92,000 was established for a capital loss carryforward related to the liquidation of assets of a
partnership interest the Bank acquired through a loan settlement. Management believes it is more likely than not that all of the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized against deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income.
No valuation allowance was necessary at December 31, 2017.
Legislation H.R. 1, formerly known as “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the Tax Reform Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Reform Act reduced the
corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018 and changed certain other provisions. Accounting guidance requires the Company to remeasure its deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on the date of enactment using the new
enacted tax rate of 21%. The Company recorded additional expense of $2.5 million in December 2017 to reflect changes that resulted from the enactment of the Tax Reform Act.

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND OFF BALANCE-SHEET RISK
Some financial instruments are used to meet customer financing needs and to reduce exposure to interest rate changes. These financial instruments include
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These involve, to varying degrees, credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount reported in the financial statements.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment, and
generally have fixed expiration dates. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee a customer’s performance to a third party. Exposure to credit loss if the other party does not perform is represented by the contractual
amount for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Collateral or other security is normally not obtained for these financial instruments prior to their use and many of the commitments are expected to expire without being used.
A summary of the contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk was as follows at year-end (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 16 – CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiaries periodically become defendants in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of
December 31, 2018, there were no material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or which any of our properties are the subject.
NOTE 17 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Regulatory Capital
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 categories, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a bank is only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to, among other things, accept, renew or
roll-over brokered deposits. If a bank is undercapitalized, capital distributions and growth and expansion are limited, and plans for capital restoration are required.
In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC approved the final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (commonly known as Basel III). Under the final rules, which began for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015 and are subject to a phase-in period through January 1, 2019, minimum requirements
will increase for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Company and the Bank. The rules include a new minimum common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (CET1 ratio) of 4.5% and a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%
of risk-weighted assets, which when fully phased-in, effectively results in a minimum CET1 ratio of 7.0%. Basel III raises the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0% (which, with the capital conservation buffer,
effectively results in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% when fully phased-in), which effectively results in a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.5% (with the capital conservation buffer fully phased-in), and requires a
minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. Basel III also makes changes to risk weights for certain assets and off-balance-sheet exposures.

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
|
Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”),
we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2018. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as
the Company’s are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that the Company adopts outweigh their costs. Our management, including our CEO and
CFO, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, have concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
|
(b)
|
Changes in Internal Controls.
|
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
|
(c)
|
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
|
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal
control system was designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of consolidated financial statements and related notes for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
An internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives have been met. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be deficient and breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or
mistakes.
Company management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. In making this
assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework
(2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 based on those criteria.
BDO USA, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included herein, has issued an
attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, as stated in their report below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Macatawa Bank Corporation
Holland, Michigan
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Macatawa Bank Corporation’s (the “Company’s”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria
established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO
criteria”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance
sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes and our report dated February
14, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
