</TABLE>

     At September 30, 2000 approximately $4,201,000 of loans were outstanding to
     executive officers, bank directors, principal shareholders and their
     related interests. During 2000, advances totalled $3,707,000 and repayments
     were $1,234,000. It is managements' opinion that such loans were made on
     the same terms and conditions as those to other borrowers and did not
     involve more than the normal risk of collectibility.


Non-Performing Loans

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in the opinion of
management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet
payments as they become due. Upon such discontinuance, all unpaid interest
accrued during the current year is reversed.

</TABLE>


     The increase in non-accrual loans in the year-to-year comparison is
     primarily due to one loan with a principal balance of $1.45 million.
     Subsequent to September 30, 2000 this loan has been paid-off with 100% of
     principal, 100% of interest at the original contract rate and 39% of
     interest at the default rate collected. Had the aforementioned loan been
     paid-off by September 30, 2000, the non-accrual loan total would have been
     $41,000.

Note 3 - Loans, continued

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The reserve for possible loan losses is an amount management believes will be
adequate to absorb losses inherent in existing loans based on evaluations of the
anticipated repayment and prior loss experience. The factors taken into
consideration include changes in the nature, volume and quality of the
portfolio, loan concentrations, specific problem loans and current and
anticipated economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that can be
identified by the use of the words "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "plan",
and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and involve substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions
that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likeliness and
degree of occurrence. Various factors, including regional and national economic
conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and
other risks of lending and investment activities and competitive and regulatory
factors could affect the Company's actual results for future periods to differ
materially from those anticipated or

projected. A list of the material risks of the Company may be found under the
caption "Risk Factors That May Effect Future Results" in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

(a) PLAN OF OPERATION

ORGANIZATION

The Company was incorporated in 1998 as a bank holding company. The Company
operates two wholly owned subsidiary banks, Lakeside Community Bank (LCB) and
North Oakland Community Bank (NOCB) (collectively the "Banks"). LCB and NOCB are
organized as Michigan banking corporations with depository accounts insured by
the bank insurance fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. LCB and
NOCB provide a range of commercial and consumer banking services primarily in
the communities of northern Macomb and northern Oakland counties.

MARKET AREA

LCB is located on Schoenherr Road in a rapidly growing area of Macomb County.
NOCB is located on Rochester Road in a renovated former bank building in a
rapidly growing area of Oakland County. The communities that comprise the
Company's primary service area include Sterling Heights, Macomb, Rochester and
Rochester Hills. Management believes these communities have an expanding and
diverse economic base, which includes a wide range of small to medium-sized
businesses engaged in the manufacturing, construction and retail trades.

BANK LINE OF BUSINESS

The Banks' core business activities include attracting deposits from the general
public and using such deposits, along with equity capital, to originate
commercial loans. The Banks also offer installment and home equity loans to
consumers. LCB recently began offering residential mortgage loans which will
primarily be sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. The Banks'
results of operations are dependent primarily upon net interest income, which is
the difference between interest income from interest-earning assets and interest
expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Results of operation may be positively
influenced by non-interest income such as fees related to loan origination and
service charges associated with customer deposit accounts. The Banks offer a
full array of demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, money market deposit
accounts, savings accounts, individual retirement accounts, certificates of
deposit and ATM cards.

CASH REQUIREMENTS

On October 1, 1999, MCB sold 91,000 common stock units at a price of $11.00 per
unit. Each unit consists of one share of MCB's common stock and one redeemable
common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to
purchase one and one-half shares of common stock at $11.00 per share subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances for 36 months. The warrants will be
redeemable at five cents per warrant upon 30 days notice mailed within 20 days
after the closing bid price of the common stock has equaled or exceeded $15.00
per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. The units constitute
"restricted" securities and cannot be resold or transferred without registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, the Michigan Uniform Securities Act and the
securities law of any other applicable jurisdiction, unless an exception from
registration under each such applicable act is available.

On September 27, 2000 MCB sold 34,043 shares of common stock, in a private
offering, at a price of $5.875 per share.

Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the Company sold 25,000 shares of common
stock, in a private offering, at a price of $10.00 per share.

Due to regulatory capital requirements, the Company anticipates the need to
raise additional equity capital over the next six months to fund loan growth at
the Banks and operating expenses at the holding company.

NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

At September 30, 2000 the Company and the Banks employed 30 full-time and 4
part-time employees. The Company does not anticipate any significant staffing
increases in the next twelve months.

(B) FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Year-to-date Balance Sheet Comparison

Total assets at September 30, 2000 were $80.6 million compared to $59.8 million
at December 31, 1999, an increase of 35%. Total loans increased $14.8 million,
or 31.8%, during the first nine months of 2000. Commercial loans increased $10.1
million, or 26.0%, real estate loans increased $1.9 million, or 54.5%, and
consumer and lease financings increased $2.8 million or 65%, year-to-date. Total
deposits increased $21 million during the first nine months of 2000 with
interest-bearing deposits increasing $16.9 million, or 36.4% and
non-interest-bearing deposits increasing $4.0 million, or 77.2%. At September
30, 2000, brokered deposits totaled $8.6 million, or 11.8% of total deposits.

Quarter-to-Quarter Earnings Comparison

For the three months ended September 30, 2000 a net loss of $139,000 was
recorded versus $404,000 in the comparable period of 1999. The improvement in
earnings is primarily attributable to an increase of $495,000 in net interest
income after the provision for loan losses. A decrease in the loan loss
provision of $170,000 as compared to the prior year period is due to a decrease
in the rate of loan growth. Total loans increased $2.6 million during the third
quarter of 2000 as compared to an increase of $14.9 million during the
comparable period of 1999. Non-interest income increased $42,000 over the prior
year quarter primarily due to the increase in deposit accounts and the
associated service charges. Non-interest expense increased $272,000, or 44%,
over the third quarter of 1999 with personnel expenses increasing 61%, premises
and equipment expenditures increasing 42% and professional fees increasing 48%
due to legal fees related to the non-performing loan, which subsequent to
September 30, 2000, has been paid-off.

Year-to-date Earnings Comparisons

Total net loss year-to-date at September 30, 2000 was $567,000 as compared to
the year-to-date September 30, 1999 loss of $1,521,000, a 63% improvement. The
improved earnings resulted from an increase in net interest income of $1.2
million reflecting the continued growth in loans and deposits and the associated
margin. A decrease in the loan loss provision of $445,000 over the prior
year-to-date amount is partially due to a reduction in the rate of loan growth -
$14.8 million in the first nine months of 2000 versus $36.1 million during the
same period of 1999. The reduction in the loan loss provision year-to-date was
also influenced by a continuation of the strong economy, greater strength and
experience in our lending staff, and the quality of the loan portfolios.
Non-interest income increased $82,000, or 303%, due to service charges on
accounts as the deposit base continues to grow. Non-interest expense increased
$817,000, or 46%, in the year-to-date comparison with salaries and benefits
increasing 48% in part due to additional lending and business development
staffing. Professional fees also grew $115,000 with higher legal expenses
attributable to the non-performing loan, which subsequent to September 30, 2000,
has been paid-off.
