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 the risks and uncertainties related to, and the impact of, the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the business, financial condition and results of operations of our company and our customers, future levels of earning assets, future composition of our loan portfolio, trends in credit quality metrics, future capital levels and capital needs, 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 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. 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. These and other factors are representative of the risk factors that may emerge and could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Macatawa Bank Corporation (“the Company”, “our”, “we”) 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 stock of Macatawa Statutory Trust II. This is a grantor trust that issued trust preferred securities and is not consolidated with the Company under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  On July 7, 2021, the Company redeemed the $20.0 million outstanding trust preferred securities and $619,000 common securities associated with this trust.

Recent Events: On March 22, 2020, the federal banking agencies issued an “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus.”  The guidance explained that in consultation with the FASB staff the federal banking agencies concluded that short-term modifications (e.g. six months) made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of a modification are not Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”).  The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress on March 27, 2020.  Section 4013 of the CARES Act also addressed COVID-19 related modifications and specified that COVID-19 related modifications on loans that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 are not TDRs.  On December 27, 2020, another COVID-19 relief bill was signed that extended this guidance until the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the date on which the national emergency declared as a result of COVID-19 is terminated.  Through June 30, 2021, the Bank had applied this guidance and modified 726 individual loans with aggregate principal balances totaling $337.2 million.  As of June 30, 2021, all of these modifications had expired and the loans returned to their contractual payment terms.

The CARES Act, as amended, included an allocation of $659 billion for loans to be issued by financial institutions through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).  PPP loans are forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP.  These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and a term of two years (loans made before June 5, 2020) or five years (loans made on or after June 5, 2020), if not forgiven, in whole or in part.  Payments are deferred until either the date on which the SBA remits the amount of forgiveness proceeds to the lender or the date that is 10 months after the last day of the covered period if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness within that 10 month period. Through December 31, 2020, the Bank had originated 1,738 PPP loans totaling $346.7 million in principal, with an average loan size of $200,000.  Fees totaling $10.0 million were generated from the SBA for these loans in the year ended December 31, 2020.  These fees are deferred and amortized into interest income over the contractual period of 24 months or 60 months, as applicable.  Upon SBA forgiveness, unamortized fees are then recognized into interest income.  Participation in the PPP had a significant impact on the Bank’s asset mix and net interest income in 2020 and will continue to impact both asset mix and net interest income until these loans are forgiven or paid off.  The initial PPP expired on August 8, 2020.  Through December 31, 2020, 765 PPP loans totaling $113.5 million had been forgiven by the SBA and a total of $5.4 million in PPP fees had been recognized by the Bank.

On December 27, 2020, another COVID-19 relief bill was signed that extended and modified several provisions of the PPP.  This included an additional allocation of $284 billion.  The SBA reactivated the PPP on January 11, 2021.  The Bank originated additional loans through the PPP, which expired on May 31, 2021.  In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Bank had generated and received SBA approval on 1,000 PPP loans totaling $128.4 million and generated $5.6 million in related deferred PPP fees.  In the six months ended June 30, 2021, 833 PPP loans totaling $187.5 million had been forgiven by the SBA and a total of $4.4 million in PPP fees had been recognized by the Bank including fees recognized upon forgiveness and continuing amortization of fees from the 2020 and 2021 PPP originations.

While the Company continues to evaluate the disruption caused by the pandemic and impact of the CARES Act, these events may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, capital, and liquidity in fiscal year 2021 and beyond.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) believed necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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.

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.  In early April 2021, the Bank purchased an additional $10.0 million in BOLI policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses (allowance) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio, increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries, and decreased by charge-offs of loans. Management believes the allowance for loan losses balance 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 relevant 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. Management continues its collection efforts on previously charged-off balances and applies recoveries as additions to the allowance for loan losses.

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 factors. The Company maintains a loss migration analysis that tracks loan losses and recoveries based on loan class and the loan risk grade assignment for commercial loans. At June 30, 2021, an 18 month annualized historical loss experience was used for commercial loans and a 12 month historical loss experience period was applied to residential mortgage loans and consumer loans. These historical loss percentages are adjusted (both upwards and downwards) for certain qualitative factors, including economic trends, credit quality trends, valuation trends, concentration risk, quality of loan review, changes in personnel, external factors and other considerations.  At June 30, 2021, the qualitative factor allocations for economic trends related to the COVID-19 that had been increased significantly during 2020 were maintained reflecting continued uncertainty of economic conditions with the reopening of the economy.  PPP loans receive $0 allocation as they are fully guaranteed by the SBA and are subject to be forgiven under the SBA forgiveness criteria.

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 a concession has been made, 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 and the loan is reported 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 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.

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.

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.

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 penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

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.

Derivatives:  Certain of the Bank’s 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, each of which is carried at fair value.  As the terms mirror each other, there is no income statement impact to the Bank.  At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total notional amount of such agreements was $145.6 million and $156.4 million, respectively, and resulted in a derivative asset with a fair value of $3.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively, which were included in other assets and a derivative liability of $3.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively, which were included in other liabilities.

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 rate on the loan is locked.  The Bank enters into commitments to sell mortgage backed securities, which it later buys back in order to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk in its mortgage pipeline.  At times, the Bank also enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when loans are closed but not yet sold, in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to sell the loans.
 
Changes in the fair values of these interest rate lock and mortgage backed security and forward commitment derivatives are included in net gains on mortgage loans.  The net fair value of mortgage banking derivatives was approximately $(4,000) and $(130,000) at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Reclassifications:  Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Standards:  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.

ASU No. 2019-10 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) – Effective Dates updated the effective date of this ASU for smaller reporting companies, such as the Company, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.  The Company selected a software vendor for applying this new ASU for Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”), began implementation of the software in the second quarter of 2018, completed integration during the third quarter of 2018 and ran parallel computations with both systems using the current GAAP incurred loss model in the fourth quarter of 2018.  The Company went live with this software beginning in January 2019 for its monthly incurred loss computations and began modeling the new current expected credit loss model assumptions to the allowance for loan losses computation.  During 2019, 2020 and the first six months of 2021, the Company modeled the various methods prescribed in the ASU against the Company’s identified loan segments.  The Company anticipates continuing to run parallel computations and fine tune assumptions as it continues to evaluate the impact of adoption of the new standard.  The COVID-19 pandemic that broke out in the United States in the first quarter of 2020 and continued into 2021 may have a significant impact on allowance computations under the incurred loss model which could be amplified under the new standard.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

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. At June 30, 2021, 69 securities available for sale with fair values totaling $89.5 million had unrealized losses totaling $1.4 million.  At June 30, 2021, 2 securities held to maturity with fair values totaling $13.8 million had unrealized losses totaling $3,000.  Management has the intent and ability 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 the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were attributable to changes in interest rates and not due to credit quality.  As such, no OTTI charges were necessary during each period.

Securities with a carrying value of approximately $5.0 million and $6.1 million were pledged as security for public deposits, letters of credit and for other purposes required or permitted by law at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

NOTE 3 – LOANS (Continued)


The Company had allocated $596,000 and $1,210,000 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.



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.

The following table presents information related to accruing troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.  The table presents the amount of accruing troubled debt restructurings that were on nonaccrual status prior to the restructuring, accruing at the time of restructuring and those that were upgraded to accruing status after receiving six consecutive monthly payments in accordance with the restructured terms as of each period reported (dollars in thousands):

There were no TDRs executed during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2021.  There was one consumer TDR totaling $27,000 executed during the three month period ended June 30, 2020 and two consumer TDRs totaling $30,000 executed during the six month period ended June 30, 2020.



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 three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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.



In late March 2020, the federal banking regulators issued guidance that modifications made to a borrower affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental shutdown orders do not need to be identified as a TDR if the loan was current at the time a modification plan was implemented.  Section 4013 of the CARES Act also addressed COVID-19 related modifications and specified that such modifications made on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are not TDRs.  On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed another COVID-19 relief bill that extends this guidance until the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the national emergency termination date.  Through June 30, 2021, the Bank had applied this guidance and had made 726 such modifications with principal balances totaling $337.2 million.  The Bank continues to follow the guidance issued by the banking regulators in making any TDR determinations.  At June 30, 2021, there were no such loans still in their modification period.

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 quarterly which analyzes the collateral position and cash flow of the borrower and its guarantors.  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 4 – 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).

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, or 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 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 realization of deferred tax assets 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.  Management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized against deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income.

NOTE 9 – 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.  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.  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.

A summary of the contractual amounts of financial instruments with off‑balance‑sheet risk was as follows at period-end (dollars in thousands):

   
June 30,
2021
   
December 31,
2020
 
Commitments to make loans

12,295
     
11,751
 
Unused lines of credit
   
677,472
     
596,298
 

The notional amount of commitments to fund mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market was approximately $3.3 million and $0 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Bank enters into commitments to sell mortgage backed securities, which it later buys back in order to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk in its mortgage pipeline.  These commitments were approximately $17.3 million and $21.0 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

At June 30, 2021, approximately 50.0% of the Bank’s commitments to make loans were at fixed rates, offered at current market rates.  The remainder of the commitments to make loans were at variable rates tied to prime or one month LIBOR and generally expire within 30 days.  The majority of the unused lines of credit were at variable rates tied to prime.

NOTE 10 – CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries periodically become defendants in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2021, there were no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries are a party or which any of its properties are the subject.

NOTE 11 – 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 rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (commonly known as Basel III). The rules include a 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 effectively results in a minimum CET1 ratio of 7.0%. The minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 6.0% (which, with the capital conservation buffer, effectively results in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%), which effectively results in a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.5% (with the capital conservation buffer), and requires a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%.

Macatawa Bank Corporation is a Michigan corporation and a registered bank holding company. It wholly-owns Macatawa Bank 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 Trust II is a grantor trust and issued $20.0 million of pooled trust preferred securities.  Macatawa Statutory Trust II is not consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information regarding consolidation, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
At June 30, 2021, we had total assets of $2.94 billion, total loans of $1.24 billion, total deposits of $2.60 billion and shareholders' equity of $248.2 million.  For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized net income of $7.8 million compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2020.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized net income of $15.6 million compared to $14.0 million for the same period in 2020.  The Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under regulatory capital standards at June 30, 2021.
 
We paid a dividend of $0.08 per share in each quarter in 2020 and in the first and second quarters of 2021. 

On March 22, 2020, the federal banking agencies issued an “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus.”  The guidance explained that in consultation with the FASB staff the federal banking agencies concluded that short-term modifications (e.g. six months) made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of a modification are not Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”).  The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress on March 27, 2020.  Section 4013 of the CARES Act also addressed COVID-19 related modifications and specified that COVID-19 related modifications on loans that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 are not TDRs.  On December 27, 2020, another COVID-19 relief bill was signed that extended this guidance until the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the date on which the national emergency declared as a result of COVID-19 is terminated.  Through June 30, 2021, the Bank had applied this guidance and modified 726 individual loans with aggregate principal balances totaling $337.2 million.  As of June 30, 2021, all of these modifications had expired and the loans returned to their contractual payment terms.

The CARES Act, as amended, included an allocation of $659 billion for loans to be issued by financial institutions through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).  PPP loans are forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP.  These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and a term of two years (loans made before June 5, 2020) or five years (loans made on or after June 5, 2020), if not forgiven, in whole or in part.  Payments are deferred until either the date on which the SBA remits the amount of forgiveness proceeds to the lender or the date that is 10 months after the last day of the covered period if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness within that 10 month period. Through December 31, 2020, the Bank had originated 1,738 PPP loans totaling $346.7 million in principal, with an average loan size of $200,000.  Fees totaling $10.0 million were generated from the SBA for these loans in the year ended December 31, 2020.  These fees are deferred and amortized into interest income over the contractual period of 24 months or 60 months, as applicable.  Upon SBA forgiveness, unamortized fees are then recognized into interest income.  Participation in the PPP had a significant impact on the Bank’s asset mix and net interest income in 2020 and will continue to impact both asset mix and net interest income until these loans are forgiven or paid off.  The initial PPP expired on August 8, 2020.  Through December 31, 2020, 765 PPP loans totaling $113.5 million had been forgiven by the SBA and a total of $5.4 million in PPP fees had been recognized by the Bank.

On December 27, 2020, another COVID-19 relief bill was signed that extended and modified several provisions of the PPP.  This included an additional allocation of $284 billion.  The SBA reactivated the PPP on January 11, 2021.  The Bank originated additional loans through the PPP, which expired on May 31, 2021.  In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Bank had generated and received SBA approval on 1,000 PPP loans totaling $128.4 million and generated $5.6 million in related deferred PPP fees.  In the six months ended June 30, 2021, 833 PPP loans totaling $187.5 million had been forgiven by the SBA and a total of $4.4 million in PPP fees had been recognized by the Bank including fees recognized upon forgiveness and continuing amortization of fees from the 2020 and 2021 PPP originations.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Summary:  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $7.8 million, compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2020.  Net income per share on a diluted basis for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.23 compared to $0.22 for the same period in 2020.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $15.6 million, compared to $14.0 million for the same period in 2020.  Net income per share on a diluted basis for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.46 compared to $0.41 for the same period in 2020.
 
The increase in earnings in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 was due primarily to lower provision for loan losses more than offsetting the impact of lower levels of net interest income.  Net interest income decreased to $14.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $15.0 million in the same period in 2020.  Net interest income decreased to $28.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $30.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020.  These decreases in net interest income were primarily attributable to the decreases in short-term interest rates instituted by the Federal Reserve in March 2020.

-37-

The provision for loan losses was a negative $750,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2020.  We were in a net loan recovery position for the three months ended June 30, 2021, with $104,000 in net loan recoveries, compared to $4.0 million in net loan charge-offs in the same period in 2020.  We were also in a net loan recovery position for the six months ended June 30, 2021, with $148,000 in net loan recoveries compared to $3.0 million in net loan charge-offs in the same period in 2020.  Both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 were impacted by a $4.1 million charge-off taken in June 2020 related to a single loan relationship with a movie theater business where the underlying assets were sold through bankruptcy proceedings.  The provision for loan losses in the 2020 periods was also impacted by increases to qualitative environmental factors to address increased risk of loss attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Net Interest Income: Net interest income totaled $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $15.0 million for the same period in 2020.  Net interest income decreased to $28.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $30.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2021 decreased $590,000 compared to the same period in 2020.  Of this decrease, $2.0 million was from changes in the volume of average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $1.4 million increase from changes in rates earned or paid.  The largest changes occurred in interest income on commercial loans (excluding PPP loans) and in PPP loans which fluctuated significantly in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.  The net change for commercial loans (excluding PPP loans) was $1.8 million with a decrease in interest income due to rate of $313,000 and a decrease in interest income of $1.5 million due to portfolio contraction.  PPP loans contributed an additional $1.4 million in net interest income in the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher PPP fee recognition.  Additionally, residential mortgage loan interest income decreased by $599,000 in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.  Of the $599,000 decrease in interest income on residential mortgage loans, $484,000 was due to a decrease in average balances resulting from a high volume of originations of refinanced loans which are sold versus retained in portfolio. Rate reductions in the deposit portfolio served to partially offset the net negative effects of the changes noted above in interest income.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $1.4 million compared to the same period in 2020.  Of this decrease, $1.0 million was from changes in the volume of average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and $357,000 was from changes in rates earned or paid.  The largest changes occurred in interest income on commercial loans (excluding PPP loans) and in PPP loans which fluctuated significantly in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.  The net change for commercial loans (excluding PPP loans) was a $4.9 million decrease with a decrease in interest income due to rate of $1.8 million and a decrease in interest income of $3.1 million due to portfolio contraction.  PPP loans contributed an additional $4.0 million in net interest income in the first six months of 2021 due to higher average balances and higher levels of PPP fee recognition upon forgiveness.  Interest income from federal funds sold and other short-term investments decreased by $188,000 in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to the 150 basis points decrease in the federal funds rate in March 2020.  This caused a $1.7 million decrease in interest income; however, increases in average balances of federal funds sold and other short-term investments in the first six months of 2021 offset most of this by adding $1.5 million in interest income.  Of the $1.2 million decrease in interest income on residential mortgage loans, $1.0 million was due to a decrease in average balances resulting from a high volume of originations of refinanced loans which are sold versus retained in portfolio and $212,000 was due to lower loan rates. Rate reductions in the deposit portfolio served to partially offset the net negative effects of the changes noted above in interest income.
 
As the Company is in an asset-sensitive position, reductions in market interest rates have a negative impact on margin as the Company’s interest earning assets reprice faster than its interest-bearing liabilities. Much of our asset-sensitivity is due to commercial and consumer loans that have variable interest rates.  For both loan types we established floor rates several years ago.  These floors provide protection to net interest income when short-term interest rates decline.

The cost of funds decreased to 0.17% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 0.40% in the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, the cost of funds decreased to 0.18% compared to 0.53% for the same period in 2020.  Decreases in the rates paid on our interest-bearing checking, savings and money market accounts in response to the federal funds rate decreases over the past year caused the decrease in our cost of funds.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was a negative $750,000 compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2020.  The provision for loan losses for the first half of 2021 was a negative $750,000 compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2020.  The provisions for loan losses for the 2020 periods were impacted by additional qualitative adjustments made to provide for estimated losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic as well as a $4.1 million charge-off was taken in June 2020 related to a single loan relationship with a movie theater business for which the underlying assets were sold through bankruptcy proceedings, some of which was specifically reserved for previously.  No other loans of this industry type remain in our portfolio.  This was partially offset by continued strong asset quality metrics and loan portfolio contraction.  When excluding PPP loans, which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, total loans decreased by $60.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021.  This was a significant factor in determining the provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2021.  Net loan recoveries were $104,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to net loan charge-offs of $4.0 million in the same period in 2020. 
 
Gross loan recoveries were $134,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $149,000 for the same period in 2020.  In the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had $30,000 in gross loan charge-offs, compared to $4.2 million in the same period in 2020.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we experienced gross loan recoveries of $228,000 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2020.  Gross charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $80,000 compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2020.
 
The amounts of loan loss provision in both the most recent quarter and comparable prior year 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.  More information about our allowance for loan losses and our methodology for establishing its level may be found under the heading "Allowance for Loan Losses" below.
 
Noninterest Income: Noninterest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 was $6.2 million and $12.7 million compared to $5.9 million and $10.8 million for the same periods in 2020, respectively.   The components of noninterest income are shown in the table below (in thousands):

Net gains on mortgage loans were down $538,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and were up $827,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 as a result of changes in the volume of loans originated for sale.  In the past two years volumes have been high due to a lower interest rate environment, spurring more refinancing of fixed rate loans which we sell into the secondary market.  Mortgage loans originated for sale in the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $39.2 million, compared to $50.1 million in the same period in 2020.  For the first six months of 2021, mortgages originated for sale were $86.5 million, compared to $79.4 million for the same period in 2020.
 
Investment services fees were up $111,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and were up $164,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The increase for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 was largely due to the 2020 periods being significantly impacted by the COVID-19 shutdown of the economy.  ATM and debit card fees were also up in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, due to reduced volume of usage by our customers during the COVID-19 shutdown of the economy in the second quarter of 2020.  These volumes and resulting income have returned to more normal levels in the 2021 periods.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020 as customers returned to more normal behaviors in 2021 after having curtailed spending in 2020 due to uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Additionally, customers’ account balances in 2020 were bolstered by economic impact payments, thereby resulting in fewer overdrafts.
 
Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense increased by $1.2 million to $11.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020.  Noninterest expense increased by $977,000 to $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $22.2 million for the same period in 2020.  The components of noninterest expense are shown in the table below (in thousands):

Most categories of noninterest expense were relatively unchanged compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to our ongoing efforts to manage expenses and scale our operations. Our largest component of noninterest expense, salaries and benefits, increased by $736,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from same period in 2020. This increase is due partially to reversing actions taken to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of 2020 including personnel hiring and pay freezes, salary reductions for senior management, and halting of 401k matching contributions and bonus accruals.  In addition, we experienced lower cost deferrals from commercial loan production due to fewer PPP loans originated in 2021.  Also contributing to the increase was an increase in variable-based compensation due to higher mortgage origination volume. Salaries and benefits increased by $457,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the same combination of factors.

Occupancy expenses were up $45,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and were up $73,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 due to higher maintenance costs incurred associated with certain branch facilities.  Furniture and equipment expenses were up $96,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and were up $178,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 due to costs associated with equipment and service contracts primarily to improve information security.
 
Our FDIC assessment costs increased by $83,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to utilization of assessment credits in the three months ended June 30, 2020. In January 2019, the FDIC notified us that the Bank would receive an assessment credit of approximately $438,000 to offset future assessment as the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund had exceeded its target ratio of 1.35%.  Assessment credits totaling $266,000 were applied in the third and fourth quarters of 2019 and the remaining $172,000 credits were applied in the six months ended June 30, 2020.  As a result, FDIC assessment costs were up $253,000 in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
 
Data processing costs were up $68,000 and $215,000 in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020 due to higher usage of electronic banking services and debit cards by our customers.
 
Outside services were up $113,000 and $94,000 in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020 due certain increased vendor costs including a business process review of our customer onboarding process.
 
Federal Income Tax Expense: We recorded $1.8 million and $3.6 million in federal income tax expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.8 million and $3.2 million for the same periods in 2020.  Our effective tax rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 were 19.05% and 18.78%, respectively, compared to 18.72% and 18.50% for the same periods in 2020. 
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Total assets were $2.94 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $299.1 million from December 31, 2020. This change reflected increases of $436.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, $3.1 million in securities available for sale, $42.4 million in securities held to maturity, and $10.0 in bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by a decrease of $191.0 million in our loan portfolio including PPP loans. Total deposits increased by $301.5 million at June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Our cash and cash equivalents, which include federal funds sold and short-term investments, were $1.22 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to $783.7 million at December 31, 2020.  The increase in these balances primarily related to an increase in our total deposits combined with a decrease in our loan portfolio.
 
Securities: Debt securities available for sale were $240.0 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $236.8 million at December 31, 2020. The balance at June 30, 2021 primarily consisted of U.S. agency securities, agency mortgage backed securities and various municipal investments. Our held to maturity portfolio was $121.9 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $79.5 million at December 31, 2020.  Our held to maturity portfolio is comprised of state, municipal and privately placed commercial bonds.
 
Portfolio Loans and Asset Quality: Total portfolio loans decreased by $191.0 million in the first six months of 2021 and were $1.24 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to $1.43 billion at December 31, 2020. During the first six months of 2021, our commercial portfolio decreased by $158.2 million.  We originated a total of 1,000 PPP loans totaling $128.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and received forgiveness proceeds in the amount of $187.8 million from the SBA in the same time period.  As a result, PPP loans decreased by $59.4 million during the first six months of 2021.  We expect a substantial portion of our remaining PPP borrowers will apply for and receive approval for loan forgiveness in the second half of 2021.  Excluding the PPP loans, our commercial loans decreased by $98.8 million in the first six months of 2021 as customers substituted PPP loans for drawing on their lines of credit.  Our consumer portfolio decreased by $7.4 million and our residential mortgage portfolio decreased by $25.4 million in the first six months of 2021.
 
Mortgage loans originated for portfolio are typically adjustable rate loans as well as fixed rate loans that conform to secondary market requirements and have a term of fifteen years or less.  Mortgage loans originated for portfolio in the first six months of 2021 increased $5.7 million compared to the same period in 2020, from $18.1 million in the first six months of 2020 to $23.8 million in the same period in 2021.
 
The volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale in the first six months of 2021 increased $7.1 million compared to the same period in 2020. Residential mortgage loans originated for sale were $86.5 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to $79.4 million in the first six months of 2020.

Overall, the commercial loan portfolio decreased $158.2 million in the first six months of 2021.  Our commercial and industrial portfolio decreased by $135.9 million while our commercial real estate loans decreased by $22.3 million.  As discussed above, included in the commercial production for the first six months of 2021 is $128.4 million in PPP loans.  Our overall production of commercial loans decreased by $239.7 million from $500.0 million in the first six months of 2020 to $260.2 million in the same period of 2021 mostly due to the significantly lower production of PPP loans (down $215.3 million).  Beyond the effect of the PPP loan production, our commercial and industrial portfolio is subject to seasonal fluctuations and we typically experience large paydowns in certain commercial loan categories in the second quarter each year, particularly nursery and floriculture production, and loans to automobile, recreational vehicle and boat dealers. Excluding the PPP loan activity, the commercial loan categories with the largest balance fluctuations in the first six months of 2021 were: agricultural products (down $29.1 million), finance and insurance (down $11.1 million), manufacturing (down $20.0 million), retail trade (down $24.4 million) and real estate and rental/leasing (down $10.2 million).  Retail trade includes floor plan loan lines to vehicle dealers.  The decline in borrowings in this sector was primarily the result of our dealers selling through their inventory but not being able to receive new inventory due to supply shortages from the COVID-19 shutdown of the economy.
 
Commercial and commercial real estate loans remained our largest loan segment and accounted for approximately 85.6% and 85.2% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Residential mortgage and consumer loans comprised approximately 14.4% and 14.8% of total loans at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Includes both owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate.
 
Commercial real estate loans accounted for 42.8% and 38.6% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, 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.
 
Our consumer residential mortgage loan portfolio, which also includes residential construction loans made to individual homeowners, comprised 10.0% of portfolio loans at June 30, 2021 and 10.5% at December 31, 2020.  We expect to continue to retain in our loan portfolio certain types of residential mortgage loans (primarily high quality, low loan-to-value loans) in an effort to continue to diversify our credit risk and deploy our excess liquidity.
 
The volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale during the first six months of 2021 increased from the first six months of 2020 as a result of interest rate conditions.  The continued low market interest rates that began in early 2020 has caused an increase in refinancing of fixed rate mortgages which we sell into the secondary market.
 
Our portfolio of other consumer loans includes loans secured by personal property and home equity fixed term and line of credit loans. This portfolio decreased by $7.4 million to $54.8 million at June 30, 2021 from $62.2 million at December 31, 2020, due primarily to a decrease in home equity loans.  These other consumer loans comprised 4.4% of our portfolio loans at June 30, 2021 and 4.3% at December 31, 2020.
 
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 quarterly 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 June 30, 2021, nonperforming assets totaled $2.8 million compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2020. There were no additions to other real estate owned in the first six months of 2021 or in the first six months of 2020.  At June 30, 2021, there were no loans in foreclosure, so we expect there to be few additions to other real estate owned in the remainder of 2021.  Proceeds from sales of foreclosed properties were $170,000 in the first six months of 2021, resulting in net realized gain on sales of $20,000.  Proceeds from sales of foreclosed properties were $92,000 in the first six months of 2020 resulting in net realized gain on sales of $0.   
 
Nonperforming loans include loans on nonaccrual status and loans delinquent more than 90 days but still accruing.  Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2021 consisted of $341,000 of commercial real estate loans and $92,000 of consumer and residential mortgage loans.  As of June 30, 2021, nonperforming loans totaled $433,000, or 0.03% of total portfolio loans, compared to $533,000, or 0.04% of total portfolio loans, at December 31, 2020.

-45-

Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans. Foreclosed assets totaled $2.3 million at June 30, 2021 and $2.5 million at December 31, 2020. The entire balance at June 30, 2021 was comprised of one commercial real estate property. 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.

We had a total of $5.5 million and $9.4 million of loans whose terms have been modified in TDRs as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 whether 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.  Total TDRs decreased by $3.9 million from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 due to payoffs and paydowns on existing TDRs exceeding new additions.  There were 62 loans identified as TDRs at June 30, 2021 compared to 76 loans at December 31, 2020.
 
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.

On March 22, 2020, the federal banking agencies issued an “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus”.  This guidance encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers that may be unable to meet their contractual obligations because of the effects of COVID-19.  The guidance goes on to explain that in consultation with the FASB staff that the federal banking agencies conclude that short-term modifications (e.g. six months) made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of a relief program are not Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”).  The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress on March 27, 2020.  Section 4013 of the CARES Act also addressed COVID-19 related modifications and specified that COVID-19 related modifications on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are not TDRs.  The Economic Aid Act passed by Congress on December 27, 2020 extended the date for such modifications to not be treated as TDRs to the earlier of 60 days after date on which the national emergency declared as a result of COVID-19 is terminated or January 1, 2022.  Through June 30, 2021, the Bank had applied this guidance and modified 726 individual loans with aggregate principal balances totaling $337.2 million.  The majority of these modifications involved three-month extensions. By June 30, 2021, all of these modifications had expired and the loans returned to their contractual payment terms.

Allowance for loan losses: The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2021 was $16.8 million, a decrease of $602,000 from December 31, 2020.  The allowance for loan losses represented 1.36% of total portfolio loans at June 30, 2021 and 1.22% at December 31, 2020.  The ratios at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are impacted by $169.7 million and $229.1 million of remaining PPP loans which are fully guaranteed and receive no allowance allocation.  The ratios excluding these loans were 1.57% and 1.45% at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.  The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loan coverage ratio increased from 3266.0% at December 31, 2020 to 3881.3% at June 30, 2021.

At June 30, 2021, we had net loan recoveries in twenty-four of the past twenty-six quarters.  Our total delinquencies were $126,000 at June 30, 2021 and $581,000 at December 31, 2020.  Our delinquency percentage at June 30, 2021 was 0.01%.
 
These factors all impact our necessary level of allowance for loan losses and our provision for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses decreased $602,000 in the first six months of 2021.  We recorded a negative provision for loan losses of ($750,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.7 million in provision expense for the same period of 2020.  Net loan recoveries were $148,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net loan charge-offs of $3.0 million for the same period in 2020. The ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans was -0.02% on an annualized basis for the first six months of 2021 and 0.41% for the first six months of 2020.
 
Despite the large charge-off taken in the second quarter of 2020, we are encouraged by the reduced level of gross charge-offs over recent quarters. 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.
 
Overall, impaired loans declined by $3.9 million to $6.7 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 2020.  The specific allowance for impaired loans decreased $449,000 to $761,000 at June 30, 2021, compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 2020.  The specific allowance for impaired loans represented 11.4% of total impaired loans at June 30, 2021 and 11.4% at December 31, 2020. 
 
The general 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.  A higher numerical grade assigned to a loan category generally 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 actual net charge-off history as the base for our computation.  Over the past few years, the 18 month period computations have reflected sizeable decreases in net charge-off experience.  We addressed this volatility in the qualitative factor considerations applied in our allowance for loan losses computation. We also considered the extended period of strong asset quality in assessing the overall qualitative component. 
 
We also have considered the effect of COVID-19 on our loan borrowers and our local economy.  While significant stimulus and mitigation efforts were expected to soften the impact, we believed a downgrade to our economic qualitative factor was appropriate and we added 7 basis points to this qualitative factor at March 31, 2020. Additional allocations were provided in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020.  In the first quarter of 2021, this factor was decreased by 2 basis points in recognition of improved economic conditions but additional allocations were made to other factors for a net increase of 8 basis points in the quarter.  In the second quarter 2021, we added 20 basis points to our consumer loan portfolio qualitative factors to address the risk that economic impact payments may be masking consumer delinquency and default.

Certain industry sectors have been more negatively impacted by the economic effects of COVID-19 than others such as hospitality, restaurants and sporting events.  We believe our commercial portfolio is adequately diversified, with our largest commercial concentrations in Real Estate, Rental and Leasing (27%), followed by Manufacturing (16%) and Retail Trade (10%).

Considering the change in our qualitative factors and our commercial loan portfolio balances, the general allowance allocated to commercial loans was $13.5 million at June 30, 2021 and $13.8 million at December 31, 2020.  The qualitative component of our allowance allocated to commercial loans was $13.4 million at June 30, 2021, down $263,000 from $13.7 million at December 31, 2020.
 
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 (four 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 $2.6 million at June 30, 2021 and $2.4 million at December 31, 2020.
 
The allowance allocations are not intended to imply limitations on usage of the allowance for loan losses.  The entire allowance for loan losses is available for any loan losses without regard to loan type.
 
Premises and Equipment:   Premises and equipment totaled $42.9 million at June 30, 2021, down $348,000 from $43.3 million at December 31, 2020.
 
Deposits and Other Borrowings: Total deposits increased $301.5 million to $2.60 billion at June 30, 2021, as compared to $2.30 billion at December 31, 2020.  Non-interest checking account balances increased $147.5 million during the first six months of 2021.  Interest bearing demand account balances increased $98.4 million and savings and money market account balances increased $62.6 million in the first six months of 2021 as municipal and business customers have held higher balances during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Certificates of deposits decreased by $7.0 million in the first six months of 2021 reflecting the continued low market interest rates.  We believe our success in maintaining 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 sophisticated product line.
 
Noninterest bearing demand accounts comprised 37% of total deposits at June 30, 2021 and 35% of total deposits at December 31, 2020.  These balances typically increase at year end for many of our commercial customers, then decline in the first half of the next year.  This didn’t happen in the first half of 2021 due to customers of all types holding higher balances during the COVID-19 pandemic.  In addition, 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, including money market and savings accounts, comprised 59% of total deposits at June 30, 2021 and 60% at December 31, 2020. Time accounts as a percentage of total deposits were 4% at June 30, 2021 and 5% December 31, 2020.

Borrowed funds totaled $80.6 million at June 30, 2021, including $60.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and $20.6 million in long-term debt associated with trust preferred securities.  Borrowed funds totaled $90.6 million at December 31, 2020, including $70.0 million of FHLB advances and $20.6 million in long-term debt associated with trust preferred securities.  On July 7, 2021, the Company redeemed all of the long-term debt associated with trust preferred securities.
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Total shareholders' equity of $248.2 million at June 30, 2021 increased $8.4 million from $239.8 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily a result of net income of $15.6 million earned in the first six months of 2021, partially offset by a decrease of $2.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income and a payment of $5.4 million in cash dividends to shareholders.  The Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” at June 30, 2021.
 
Capital guidelines for U.S. banks are commonly known as Basel III guidelines. The rules include a 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, effectively resulting in a minimum CET1 ratio of 7.0%. The Basel III minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is 6.0% (which, with the capital conservation buffer, effectively results in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%), and the minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio is 10.5% (with the capital conservation buffer), and Basel III requires a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. The capital ratios for the Company and the Bank under Basel III have continued to exceed the well capitalized minimum capital requirements.

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 have actively pursued initiatives to maintain a strong liquidity position.  The Bank has reduced its reliance on non-core funding sources, including brokered deposits, and focused on achieving a non-core funding dependency ratio below its peer group average.  We have had no brokered deposits on our balance sheet since December 2011.  We continue to maintain significant on-balance sheet liquidity.  At June 30, 2021, the Bank held $1.19 billion of federal funds sold and other short-term investments.  In addition, the Bank had available borrowing capacity from correspondent banks of approximately $278.3 million as of June 30, 2021.
 
In the normal course of business, we enter into certain contractual obligations, including obligations which are considered in our overall liquidity management.  The table below summarizes our significant contractual obligations at June 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

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 June 30, 2021, we had a total of $677.5 million in unused lines of credit, $136.1 million in unfunded loan commitments and $12.3 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 2020, the Bank paid dividends to the Company totaling $11.7 million.  In the same period, the Company paid $10.9 million in dividends to its shareholders.  On February 24, 2021, the Bank paid a dividend totaling $3.7 million to the Company in anticipation of the common share cash dividend of $0.08 per share paid on February 25, 2021 to shareholders of record on February 10, 2021.  The cash distributed for this cash dividend payment totaled $2.7 million.  On May 26, 2021, the Bank paid a dividend totaling $3.2 million to the Company in anticipation of the common share cash dividend of $0.08 per share paid on May 27, 2021 to shareholders of record on May 12, 2021.  The cash distributed for this cash dividend payment totaled $2.7 million.  On July 6, 2021, the Bank paid a dividend totaling $20.0 million to the Company in anticipation of the redemption of its trust preferred securities.  On July 7, 2021, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding trust preferred securities.  The Company retained the remaining balance in each period for general corporate purposes.  At June 30, 2021, the Bank had a retained earnings balance of $75.5 million.
 
The Company’s cash balance at June 30, 2021 was $7.6 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, revenue recognition 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 the first six months of 2021.
 
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.
 
Noninterest revenue is recognized in accordance with contractual requirements and as we fulfill our obligations under contractual terms.  Most of our noninterest revenue comes from services that are transaction based and such revenue is recognized as the related service is provided.
 
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 June 30, 2021, we had gross deferred tax assets of $5.2 million and gross deferred tax liabilities of $2.4 million resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $2.8 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.  We concluded at June 30, 2021 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.
 
Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
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 June 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

If interest rates were to increase, this analysis suggests that we are positioned for an improvement in net interest income over the next twelve months.  If interest rates were to decrease, this analysis suggests we would experience a reduction 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.
 
Item 4:
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision 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 Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of June 30, 2021, the end of the period covered by this report.
 
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 CEO and CFO, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.
 
(b)
Changes in Internal Controls. During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
