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.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.
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 Under generally accepted accounting principles, this trust is not consolidated
into the financial statements of the Company.
Recent Events: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal, state and local governments have taken and continue to take actions designed to mitigate the effect of the virus on public health and to address the
economic impact from the virus. The Federal Reserve reduced the overnight federal funds rate by 50 basis points on March 3, 2020 and by another 100 basis points on March 15, 2020 and announced the resumption of quantitative easing. Congress passed
a number of measures in late March 2020, designed to infuse cash into the economy to offset the negative impacts of business closings and restrictions. Individual states, including Michigan, implemented restrictions including closure of schools,
restrictions on public gatherings, restrictions on businesses, including closures and mandatory work at home orders, implementation of “social distancing” practices, and other measures.
The Company quickly responded to the changing environment by successfully executing its business continuity plan, including implementing work from home arrangements and limiting branch activities. As of March 31,
2021, branches were fully open with additional health and safety requirements to comply with U.S. federal and state of Michigan health mandates, including, among other things, daily deep cleaning, nonsurgical face mask requirements and strict social
distancing measures.
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 are or 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 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, President Trump signed another COVID-19 relief bill 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2021, most of these modifications had expired, other than those receiving a third short-term modification as allowed under the guidance. At March 31, 2021,
there were 5 such loans under COVID-19 modification, totaling $21.9 million. This is down from a quarter end peak of $297.3 million at June 30, 2020.
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, President Trump signed another COVID-19 relief bill 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 is originating additional PPP loans through the PPP, which will currently extend through May 31, 2021. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Bank had generated and received SBA approval on 747 PPP loans
totaling $96.9 million and received $4.4 million in related deferred PPP fees under the 2021 PPP authorization. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, 523 PPP loans totaling $71.7 million had been forgiven by the SBA and a total of $2.0 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.
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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.
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 month period ended March 31, 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 March 31,
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. 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 estimated 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 are carried at fair value. As the terms mirror each other, there is no income statement impact to the Bank. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total notional amount of such
agreements was $147.5 million and $156.4 million, respectively, and resulted in a derivative asset with a fair value of $3.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, which were included in other assets and a derivative liability of $3.8 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 $285,000 and $(130,000) at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
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 and 2020, 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 March 31, 2021, 70
securities available for sale with fair values totaling $87.7 million had unrealized losses totaling approximately $2.3 million. At March 31, 2021, seven securities held to maturity with fair value totaling $15.6 million had unrealized losses
totaling approximately $120,000. 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 month periods ended March 31, 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 $5.1 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 March 31, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company had allocated $987,000 and $1.2 million of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) as of March 31, 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.

There were no troubled debt restructurings executed during the three month period ended March 31, 2021 and one consumer loan troubled debt restructuring totaling $3,000 executed during the three month period ended
March 31, 2020, with no writedown taken upon restructuring.
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 month periods ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2021, there were 5 such
loans still in their modification period, totaling $21.9 million. Of the 5 remaining loans, 3 were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
NOTE 3 – LOANS (Continued)
Credit Quality Indicators: The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of
the borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually
and classifies these relationships by credit risk grading. The Company uses an eight point grading system, with grades 5 through 8 being considered classified, or watch, credits. All commercial loans are assigned a grade at origination, at each
renewal or any amendment. When a credit is first downgraded to a watch credit (either through renewal, amendment, loan officer identification or the loan review process), an Administrative Loan Review (“ALR”) is generated by the credit department
and the loan officer. All watch credits have an ALR completed 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 5 – FAIR VALUE
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value include:
Level 1: |
Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
|
Level 2: |
Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
market data.
|
Level 3: |
Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
|
Investment Securities: The fair values of investment securities are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying
exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The fair values of certain securities held to maturity are determined by computing
discounted cash flows using observable and unobservable market inputs (Level 3 inputs).
Loans Held for Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is based upon binding quotes from third party investors (Level 2 inputs).
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 chargeoff 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.
NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE (Continued)
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.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):

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 (net of a recorded valuation allowance) is largely dependent upon future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the ability to
carryback losses to available tax years. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers 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 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 will be realized against deferred tax liabilities and projected
future taxable income.
The net deferred tax asset recorded included the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities (dollars in thousands):

There were no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020 and the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve
months. The Company is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2016.
NOTE 10 – 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):

The notional amount of commitments to fund mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market was approximately $6.3 million and $0 at March 31, 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
$33.8 million and $21.0 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
At March 31, 2021, approximately 53.3% 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 11 – CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiaries periodically become defendants in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 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 12 – 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%.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
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. This trust is not consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information regarding
consolidation, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
At March 31, 2021, we had total assets of $2.73 billion, total loans of $1.38 billion, total deposits of $2.39 billion and shareholders' equity of $242.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we
recognized net income of $7.8 million compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 2020. The Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under regulatory capital standards at March 31, 2021.
We paid a dividend of $0.08 per share in each quarter of 2020 and in the first quarter of 2021.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal, state and local governments have taken and continue to take actions designed to mitigate the effect of the virus on public health and to address the economic impact
from the virus. The Federal Reserve reduced the overnight federal funds rate by 50 basis points on March 3, 2020 and by another 100 basis points on March 15, 2020 and announced the resumption of quantitative easing. Congress passed a number of
measures in late March 2020, designed to infuse cash into the economy to offset the negative impacts of business closings and restrictions. Individual states, including Michigan, implemented restrictions including closure of schools,
restrictions on public gatherings, restrictions on businesses, including closures and mandatory work at home orders, implementation of “social distancing” practices, and other measures.
The Company quickly responded to the changing environment by successfully executing its business continuity plan, including implementing work from home arrangements and limiting branch activities. As of March 31,
2021, branches were fully open with additional health and safety requirements to comply with U.S. federal and state of Michigan health mandates, including, among other things, daily deep cleaning, nonsurgical face mask requirements and strict
social distancing measures.
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 are or 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 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, President Trump signed another COVID-19 relief bill 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2021, most of these modifications had expired, other than those receiving a third short-term modification as allowed under the
guidance. At March 31, 2021, there were 5 such loans under COVID-19 modification, totaling $21.9 million. This is down from a quarter end peak of $297.3 million at June 30, 2020.
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, 747 PPP loans totaling $96.9 million had been forgiven by the SBA and a total of $4.4 million in PPP fees
had been recognized by the Bank. Of the 5 remaining loans, 3 were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed another COVID-19 relief bill 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 is originating additional PPP loans, which will currently extend through May 31, 2021. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Bank had generated and received SBA approval on 898 PPP loans totaling $112.7
million with $5.1 million in related deferred fees under the 2021 PPP authorization. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, 523 PPP loans totaling $71.7 million had been forgiven by the SBA and a total of $2.0 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 March 31, 2021 was $7.8 million, compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 2020. Net income per share on a diluted
basis for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $0.23 compared to $0.19 for the same period in 2020.
The increase in earnings in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was due primarily to a higher level of net gains on mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, a lower provision
for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $700,000 for the same period in 2020. The provision for loan losses in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was impacted by the
establishment of a specific reserve on a large commercial loan relationship. Provisions in both periods were impacted by qualitative factors applied to address the increased risk of loss from the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We
were in a net loan recovery position for the three months ended March 31, 2021, with $44,000 in net loan recoveries, compared to $989,000 in net loan recoveries in the same period in 2020. Partially offsetting the favorable impact on earnings of
higher mortgage gains and a lower provision for loan losses, net interest income decreased to $14.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $15.3 million in the same period in 2020.
Net Interest Income: Net interest income totaled $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $15.3 million for the same period in 2020.
Net interest income was positively impacted in the three months ended March 31, 2021 by an increase in average earning assets of $640.0 million compared to the same period in 2020. However, our average yield on
earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased 126 basis points compared to the same period in 2020 from 3.71% to 2.45%, offsetting the effect of the growth in earning assets.
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 decreased $813,000 compared to the same period in 2020. Of this decrease, $3.0 million was due to decreases in rates earned or paid, partially offset by $2.1
million from increases in the volume of average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The largest changes came in commercial loan interest income which decreased by $489,000 in the first quarter of 2021. Of the $489,000
decrease in interest income on commercial loans, $1.5 million was due to decreases in rates earned, partially offset by the increase of $1.0 million in average balances between periods. Net interest income in the first quarter of 2021 benefitted
from $2.0 million in fee amortization related to PPP loans. Net interest income in the first quarter of 2020 benefitted from prepayment fees and interest recovery of $65,000 collected on two commercial loans.
Average interest earning assets totaled $2.54 billion for three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $1.90 billion for the same period in 2020. An increase of $624.0 million in average federal funds sold and
other short-term investments were the primary components of the increase. The net interest margin was 2.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 3.25% for the same period in 2020. Yield on commercial loans (excluding PPP loans)
decreased from 4.32% for three months ended March 31, 2020 to 3.76%, for the same period in 2021. The yield on PPP loans was 4.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The rate on these loans is 1.0%, but the yield is also impacted by
amortization of PPP fees. The yield on residential mortgage loans decreased from 3.71% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 3.51% for the same period in 2021, while yields on consumer loans decreased from 4.79% for the first quarter of
2020 to 4.09% for the first quarter of 2021. The decreases in yields on commercial loans and consumer loans were the result of the predominance of loans in these categories with variable rates of interest tied to prime and LIBOR, each of which
decreased significantly in 2020 and remained low in the first quarter of 2021.
In response to the news and government action related to COVID-19, the Federal Reserve Board decreased the target federal funds rate by 150 basis points in March 2020. 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 0.19% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 0.66% in the first quarter of 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 March 31, 2021 was $0 compared to $700,000 for the same period in 2020.
Positively impacting the provision for loan losses for each period were the continued stabilization of asset quality metrics and net loan recoveries of $44,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $989,000 in the same period in 2020.
Positively impacting the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was the reduction in loan portfolio balances, excluding PPP loans. Negatively impacting the provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2020 was
the establishment of a specific reserve on a large commercial loan. Provisions in both periods were impacted by the estimated impact of COVID-19.
Gross loan recoveries were $94,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $1.0 million for the same period in 2020. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had $50,000 in charge-offs, compared to
$39,000 in the same period in 2020. We continue to experience positive results from our collection efforts as evidenced by our net loan recoveries. While we expect our collection efforts to produce further recoveries, they may not continue at
the same level we have experienced the past several quarters.
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 month period ended March 31, 2021 was $6.5 million compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2020. The components

Net gains on mortgage loans were up $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to same period in 2020 as a result of an increase in the volume of loans originated for sale and a continued period
of historically low market interest rates. Mortgage loans originated for sale in the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $47.3 million, compared to $29.4 million in the same period in 2020. Mortgage loans originated for portfolio in the
three months ended March 31, 2021 were $9.8 million, compared to $4.6 million in the same period in 2020. Investment services fees were up in the first three months of 2021 due to success in growing the number of investment services customer
relationships we have and favorable investment market value changes. ATM and debit card fees were up in the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to higher volume of usage by our customers.
Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense decreased to $11.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, from $11.7 million for the same period in 2020. The

Most categories of noninterest expense were relatively unchanged compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to our ongoing efforts to manage expenses and scale our operations. Our
largest component of noninterest expense, salaries and benefits, decreased by $279,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from same period in 2020. This decrease was partially due to higher salary cost deferrals (driven by PPP loan
originations) and lower medical insurance claims experience, offset by a higher level of variable based compensation which was up $150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 due in part to
higher mortgage production.
Occupancy expenses were up $28,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to higher maintenance costs associated with our branch facilities. These maintenance costs were up
$32,000 primarily due to higher costs incurred for snow removal.
Our FDIC assessment costs increased by $170,000 in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due primarily to no assessment being due in the first quarter of 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 2020.
Costs associated with administration and disposition of problem assets have decreased significantly over the past several years and are now at negligible levels. These expenses include legal costs and repossessed
and foreclosed property administration expense. Repossessed and foreclosed property administration expense includes survey and appraisal, property maintenance and management and other disposition and carrying costs. Net (gains) losses on
repossessed and foreclosed properties include both net gains and losses on the sale of properties and unrealized losses from value declines for outstanding properties. The net of these two line items decreased from the first quarter of 2020 to
the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher losses on sale of properties and higher related legal costs in the first three months of 2020.
These costs are itemized in the following table (in thousands):

As the level of problem loans and assets has declined over the past several years, the costs associated with these nonperforming assets have decreased significantly. Other real estate owned decreased from $3.3
million at March 31, 2020 to $2.4 million at March 31, 2021.
Net (gains) losses on repossessed assets and foreclosed properties for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $13,000 compared to the same period in 2020. In the three month period ended March
31, 2021, valuation writedowns totaled $4,000 compared to valuation writedowns of $31,000 for the same period in 2020. In the three month period ended March 31, 2021, net realized losses totaled $14,000, compared to net realized losses of $0 for
the same period in 2020.
Other noninterest expense decreased by $223,000 in the first three months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The first three months of 2020 included an expense of $156,000 related to a correction to one
of our trust accounts.
Federal Income Tax Expense: We recorded $1.8 million in federal income tax expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 compared to $1.4 million in the same period
in 2020. Our effective tax rate for the three period ended March 31, 2021 was 18.50% compared to 18.23% for the same period in 2020.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets were $2.73 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $92.3 million from $2.64 billion at December 31, 2020. This change reflected increases of $128.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, $3.9 million
in loans held for sale, and $9.7 million in securities held to maturity, partially offset by a decrease of $46.4 million in our loan portfolio and $3.2 million in securities available for sale. Total deposits increased by $89.4 million at March
31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our deposit customers have held significantly higher balances, which has resulted in a substantial increase in our cash and cash equivalent balances and total assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Our cash and cash equivalents, which include federal funds sold and short-term investments, were $911.9 million at March 31, 2021 compared to
$783.7 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in these balances related primarily to the increase in total deposits.
Securities: Debt securities available for sale were $233.7 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $236.8 million at December 31, 2020. The balance at March 31, 2021 primarily
consisted of U.S. agency securities, agency mortgage backed securities and various municipal investments. Our held to maturity portfolio was $79.5 million at December 31, 2020 and $89.2 million at March 31, 2021. 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 $46.4 million in the first three months of 2021 and were $1.38 billion at March 31, 2021 compared to
$1.43 billion at December 31, 2020. During the first three months of 2020, our commercial portfolio decreased by $31.0 million, while our consumer portfolio decreased by $5.6 million and our residential mortgage portfolio decreased by $9.8
million.
Mortgage loans originated for portfolio are typically loans that conform to secondary market requirements and have a term of fifteen years or less. Mortgage loans originated for portfolio in the first three months
of 2021 increased $5.2 million compared to the same period in 2020, from $4.6 million in the first three months of 2020 to $9.8 million in the same period in 2021.
Due primarily to re-financings associated with a lower rate environment, the volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale in the first three months of 2021 increased $17.9 million compared to the same
period in 2020. Residential mortgage loans originated for sale were $47.3 million in the first three months of 2021 compared to $29.4 million in the first three months of 2020.

Includes both owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate.
|
Commercial real estate loans accounted for 39.1% and 38.6% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 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 10.1% of portfolio loans at March 31, 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 three months of 2021 increased from the first three months of 2020 as a result of interest rate conditions. The continued historically
low interest rate environment in 2020 and so far in 2021 has caused an increase in refinancing of long-term 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. Consumer loans were $56.6 million at March 31, 2021 and $62.2 million at
December 31, 2020. Consumer loans comprised 4.1% of our portfolio loans at March 31, 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 March 31, 2021, nonperforming assets totaled $2.9 million compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2020. There
were no additions to other real estate owned in the first three months of 2021 or in the first three months of 2020. At March 31, 2021, there were no loans in redemption following foreclosure, so we expect there to be few additions to other real
estate owned in 2021. Proceeds from sales of foreclosed properties were $148,000 in the first three months of 2021, resulting in net realized loss on sales of $14,000. Proceeds from sales of foreclosed properties were $91,000 in the first three
months of 2020 resulting in net realized loss on sales of $0.
Nonperforming loans include loans on nonaccrual status and loans delinquent more than 90 days but still accruing. As of March 31, 2021, nonperforming loans totaled $525,000, or 0.04% of total portfolio loans,
compared to $533,000, or 0.04% of total portfolio loans, at December 31, 2020.
Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2021 consisted of $432,000 of commercial real estate loans and $93,000 of consumer and residential mortgage loans.
Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans. Foreclosed assets totaled $2.4 million at March 31, 2021 and $2.5 million at December 31, 2020. The entire balance at March 31, 2021
was comprised of three commercial real estate properties. All properties acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure are initially transferred at their fair value less estimated costs to sell and then evaluated monthly for impairment after
transfer using a lower of cost or market approach. Updated property valuations are obtained at least annually on all foreclosed assets.
At March 31, 2021, our foreclosed asset portfolio had a weighted average age held in portfolio of 9.03 years. Below is a breakout of our foreclosed asset portfolio at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 by
property type and the percentages the property has been written down since taken into our possession and the combined writedown percentage, including losses taken when the property was loan collateral (dollars in thousands):

We had a total of $10.1 million and $9.4 million of loans whose terms have been modified in TDRs as of March 31, 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 increased by $679,000 from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 due to an
increase in the balances of existing TDRs. There were no new TDRs added during the quarter. There were 70 loans identified as TDRs at March 31, 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, 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 TDRs. The 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. 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 March 31, 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.
Allowance for loan losses: The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2021 was $17.5 million, an increase of $44,000 from December 31, 2020. The allowance for loan losses
represented 1.26% of total portfolio loans at March 31, 2021 and 1.22% at December 31, 2020. The ratios at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were impacted by $253.8 million and $229.1 million of remaining PPP loans which are fully guaranteed
and receive no allowance allocation. The ratios excluding these loans were 1.55% at March 31, 2021 and 1.45% at December 31, 2020. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loan coverage ratio increased from 3266% at December 31, 2020 to
3324% at March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2021, we have had net loan recoveries in twenty-three of the past twenty-five quarters. Our total delinquencies have continued to be negligible and were $217,000 at March 31, 2021 and
$581,000 at December 31, 2020. Our delinquency percentage at March 31, 2021 was only 0.02%.
These factors all impact our necessary level of allowance for loan losses and our provision for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses increased $44,000 in the first three months of 2020. We recorded a
provision for loan losses of $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $700,000 for the same period of 2020. Net loan recoveries were $44,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net recoveries of $989,000 for
the same period in 2020. The ratio of net recoveries to average loans was -0.01% on an annualized basis for the first three months of 2021, compared to -0.29% for the first three months of 2020.
We are pleased with the low 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 increased by $666,000 to $11.3 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 2020. The specific allowance for impaired loans decreased $224,000 to $1.0 million at
March 31, 2021, compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 2020. The specific allowance for impaired loans represented 8.7% of total impaired loans at March 31, 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 chargeoff history as the base for our computation. Over the past few years, the 18 month period computations have reflected sizeable decreases in net chargeoff 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.
At March 31, 2020, we also considered the effect that the global economic shutdown to combat COVID-19 was having 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.
Certain industry sectors will be more negatively impacted by the economic effects of COVID-19 and governmental action than others. For example, businesses that thrive on large masses of people assembling in close
proximity, such as hospitality, restaurants and sporting events will likely incur longer negative effects than other industries. We believe our commercial portfolio is adequately diversified, with our largest commercial concentrations in Real
Estate, Rental and Leasing (25%), followed by Retail Trade (16%). The table below breaks down our commercial loan portfolio by industry type at March 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Considering the change in our qualitative factors and our commercial loan portfolio balances, the general allowance allocated to commercial loans was $14.0 million at March 31, 2021 and $13.7
million at December 31, 2020. The qualitative component of our allowance allocated to commercial loans was $14.0 million at March 31, 2021, up $281,000 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 $2.4 million at March 31, 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 $43.1 million at March 31, 2021, down $141,000 from $43.3 million at December 31, 2020.
Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI): The Bank has purchased life insurance on certain officers. BOLI is recorded at its currently realizable cash surrender value and totaled
$42.2 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $42.5 million at December 31, 2020. The net decrease of $272,000 from December 31, 2020 was due to BOLI earnings during the quarter, offset by the payout of $560,000 on a death claim received during
the quarter. In early April 2021, the Bank purchased an additional $10.0 million of BOLI policies.
Deposits and Other Borrowings: Total deposits increased $89.4 million to $2.39 billion at March 31, 2021, as compared to $2.30 billion at December 31, 2020. Non-interest
checking account balances increased $39.4 million during the first three months of 2021. Interest bearing demand account balances decreased $28.6 million and savings and money market account balances increased $79.8 million in the first three
months of 2021 as municipal and business customers have held higher balances during the COVID-19 pandemic. Certificates of deposits decreased by $1.2 million in the first three 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 36% of total deposits at March 31, 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 quarter. This didn’t happen in the first quarter 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 60% of total
deposits at March 31, 2021 and 60% at December 31, 2020. Time accounts as a percentage of total deposits were 4% at March 31, 2021 and 5% December 31, 2020.
Borrowed funds totaled $90.6 million at March 31, 2021, including $70.0 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.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total shareholders' equity of $242.4 million at March 31, 2021 increased $2.5 million from $239.8 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily a result of net income of $7.8 million earned in the first
three months of 2021, partially offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in accumulated other comprehensive income and a payment of $2.7 million in cash dividends to shareholders. The Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” at March 31, 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.
The following table shows our regulatory capital ratios (on a consolidated basis) for the past several quarters:

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 March 31, 2021, the Bank held $885.0 million of
federal funds sold and other short-term investments. In addition, the Bank had available borrowing capacity from correspondent banks of approximately $269.3 million as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2021, we had a total of $644.4 million in unused lines of credit, $77.5 million in unfunded loan commitments and $12.4 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. The Company retained the remaining balance in each period for general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2021, the Bank had a retained earnings balance of $90.7 million.
During 2020 and 2019, the Company received payments from the Bank totaling $7.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively, representing the Bank’s intercompany tax liability for the 2020 and 2019 tax years,
respectively, in accordance with the Company’s tax allocation agreement.
The Company has the right to defer interest payments for 20 consecutive quarters on its trust preferred securities if necessary for liquidity purposes. During the deferral period, the Company may not declare or
pay any dividends on its common stock or make any payment on any outstanding debt obligations that rank equally with or junior to the trust preferred securities.
The Company’s cash balance at March 31, 2021 was $7.3 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, including judgments made related to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 three
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 March 31, 2021, we had gross deferred tax assets of $5.6 million and gross deferred tax liabilities of $2.3 million resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $3.3 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 March 31, 2021 that no 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.

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 March 31, 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 these differing 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.
