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 "may", "should", "will", "is likely", or is "probably" 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", "going forward", "starting" 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, statements related to real estate valuation, future levels of non-performing loans, the rate of asset dispositions, capital raising activities, dividends, future growth and funding sources, future liquidity levels, future profitability levels, our ability to continue as a going concern, the effects on earnings of changes in interest rates 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 goodwill, mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets) and other real estate owned, and the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary and the amount of any impairment) involves judgments that are inherently forward-looking. All statements with references to future time periods are forward-looking. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. Our ability to fully comply with our Consent Order and Written Agreement, raise capital, improve regulatory capital ratios, successfully implement new programs and initiatives, increase efficiencies, address regulatory issues, improve internal controls over financial reporting, maintain our current level of deposits and other sources of funding, maintain liquidity, respond to declines in collateral values and credit quality, increase loan volume, maintain mortgage banking income, realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets, resume payment of dividends and improve profitability is not entirely within our control and is not assured. The future effect of changes in the real estate, financial and credit markets and the national and regional economy on the banking industry, generally, and Macatawa Bank Corporation, specifically, are also inherently uncertain. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("risk factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extend, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Macatawa Bank Corporation does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may arise after the date of the forward-looking statements.

Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in "Item 1A - Risk Factors" of this report. These and other factors are representative of the risk factors that may emerge and could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.

PART I

|ITEM 1: | Business.
|------- | ---------

As used in this report, the terms "we," "us," "our" and "Company" mean Macatawa Bank Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning. The term "Bank" means Macatawa Bank.

Overview

Macatawa Bank Corporation is a Michigan corporation and a registered bank holding company. Our business is concentrated in a single industry segment - commercial banking. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Macatawa Bank, we offer a full range of commercial and personal banking services, including checking, savings and certificates of deposit accounts, cash management, safe deposit boxes, trust services and commercial, mortgage and consumer loans through our twenty-six branch offices and a lending and operation service facility in Ottawa County, Kent County and northern Allegan County, Michigan. Other services we offer include ATMs, internet banking, telephone banking and debit cards. The Bank provides various brokerage services, including discount brokerage through Infinex, personal financial planning and consultation regarding mutual funds.

The Bank was formed in 1997 and until 2009 our strategy has been to profitably grow our business based upon our mission to attract clients who prefer to conduct business with a locally managed institution that demonstrates an active interest in their business and personal financial affairs, places high priority on local decision-making and contributes financial and employee support to community initiatives. Within the past year, our strategy has been modified as discussed below.

At December 31, 2010, we had total assets of $1.58 billion, total deposits of $1.28 billion, approximately 73,000 deposit accounts and shareholders' equity of $67.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we reported operating losses totaling $17.9 million. The last three quarters of 2010 were profitable. Additional information about our consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of our operations for the two years ended December 31, 2010, may be found throughout this report, including in Item 7 of this report in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and Item 8 of this report in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, and such information is here incorporated by reference.

During 2008 and 2009, we reported operating losses of $38.9 million and $63.6 million, respectively. The losses for 2008 and 2009 were largely attributable to loan losses, lost interest on nonperforming assets and rising costs of administering problem assets associated with the rapid increase in problem loans and other real estate assets. Losses in 2009 included the establishment of a tax valuation allowance and 2008 losses included the write-off of goodwill. The loan and problem asset related losses continued in the first quarter of 2010, as we reported a net loss of $21.1 million.

In February 2010, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation ("OFIR"), in which the Bank agreed to increase management and board oversight, improve process and controls, limit lending to certain borrowers, obtain regulatory approval of future dividends, and improve regulatory capital ratios. Please see "Consent Order with the Bank and its Regulators" below for more information regarding the Consent Order. In July 2010, Macatawa Bank Corporation entered into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago ("FRB"). Among other things, the Written Agreement provides that Macatawa Bank Corporation must take appropriate steps to utilize its financial and managerial resources to serve as a source of strength to the Bank and Macatawa Bank Corporation may not declare or pay any dividends without the prior written consent of the FRB. Please see "Written Agreement with Macatawa Bank Corporation and its Regulator" below for more information regarding the Written Agreement.

Our Board of Directors has significantly changed our strategic direction and focus to improve our internal operations and to work out of our problem loans and assets. During the fourth quarter of 2009, our Board of Directors elected a new independent Chairman of the Board. We have since worked closely with the FRB, the FDIC and OFIR to put in place improved controls and procedures. The Board of Directors has implemented more robust corporate governance practices and disciplined business and banking principles, implemented more conservative lending principles that comply with regulatory standards, and appointed experienced and disciplined lending and compliance personnel. The focus of our management team has turned from growth in our business to executing these disciplined business and banking procedures and policies, limiting future losses, preserving capital and improving operational efficiencies.

As a result of these efforts, we have achieved significantly improved results:

| |  | Our three most recently completed quarters were profitable;

| |  | Our liquidity has improved dramatically since the end of 2009 primarily through large reductions in volatile funding balances;

| |  | The Bank's capital ratios have improved since March 31, 2010; and                                                                                                                                                                 
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
| |  | We have reduced our level of delinquent and nonperforming loans and have achieved lower levels of loan charge offs for 2010 compared to the preceding two years, allowing for reductions in the provision for loan losses in 2010.

During the course of the audit procedures for 2009, our independent registered accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2009, Crowe Horwath LLP, identified certain deficiencies in our credit administration and allowance for loan loss process that we and they determined constituted a "material weakness" in internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2009.  Also at December 31, 2009, Crowe Horwath LLP determined that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  As discussed above and throughout this document, significant improvements in our processes and our financial results and financial condition occurred during the year ended December 31, 2010. We do not have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and our independent public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2010, BDO USA LLP, has issued an unqualified report on its audit of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 in Item 8 of this report, and did not include a paragraph in its report expressing substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We have determined that the improved controls instituted in response to the material weakness identified at December 31, 2009 have remediated the deficiencies and have concluded that there are no material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2010.  BDO USA LLP has also issued an unqualified report on its audit of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 in Item 9A of this report, which states that Macatawa Bank Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.

We have no material foreign loans, assets or activities. No material part of our business is dependent on a single customer or very few customers.

Regulatory Developments

Consent Order with the Bank and its Regulators

On February 22, 2010, the Bank entered into a Consent Order (the "Consent Order") with the FDIC and OFIR, the primary banking regulators of the Bank. The Bank agreed to the terms of the Consent Order without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank. The Consent Order will remain in effect and enforceable until it is modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and the OFIR. The Bank's customer deposits remain fully insured to the highest limit set by the FDIC. The Board of Directors views the requirements of the Consent Order as necessary components of its efforts to return us to profitability and pursue the long term success of the Company for our shareholders, depositors, and customers.

The Consent Order includes the following requirements, among others:

| |  | The Consent Order requires the Bank, within 90 days, to have and maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of at least 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 11%. The Bank has not yet met these capital requirements. See further discussion below and in Item 8 of this report in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

| |  | The Consent Order requires the Bank to charge off all assets or portions of assets classified "Loss" in the most recent FDIC Report of Examination ("ROE") that have not been previously collected or charged off. This was accomplished subsequent to the examination in October, 2009.

| |  | The Consent Order prohibits the Bank from extending additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who is already obligated to the Bank on any loan that has been charged off by the Bank, so long as the amount charged off remains uncollected. In addition, the Consent Order prohibits the Bank from extending any additional credit to a borrower who has an uncollected loan that has been classified "Substandard" or "Doubtful", unless the Bank's Board of Directors has determined that extending additional credit to the borrower is in the best interest of the Bank. The Bank has adhered with this requirement.

| |  | The Consent Order requires the Board of Directors of the Bank upon the issuance of the order and before each quarterly Report of Condition and Income to review the adequacy of the Bank's Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("ALLL") and make adjustments needed to provide for an adequate ALLL. The Board has adhered with this requirement.

| |  | While the Consent Order is in effect, the Bank may not declare or pay any cash dividend without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the OFIR. The Bank did not pay dividends to Macatawa Bank Corporation during 2009 or 2010. In previous periods, dividends from the Bank to Macatawa Bank Corporation were primarily utilized by it to pay dividends on its common and preferred stock and interest on its trust preferred securities. Macatawa Bank Corporation has suspended payment of dividends on common and preferred stock and has deferred interest payments on its trust preferred securities.                         

The Consent Order also requires the Bank and its Board of Directors to adopt and implement a variety of policies, plans, procedures and practices intended to aid in the safe and sound conduct of the Bank's business. Throughout 2010, the Bank has addressed or taken steps to address the requirements of the Consent Order.

We are implementing a capital plan with various alternatives to reach and maintain the capital levels required by the Consent Order. While the Bank was not able to meet the timeline prescribed by the Consent Order for reaching the required capital levels, tangible progress has been made. Through a combination of improving earnings, effective balance sheet management and disciplined administration non performing assets, we have improved the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio since its low-point at March 31, 2010. The amount of additional qualifying capital needed to comply with the Consent Order has been reduced from $43.2 million at March 31, 2010 to $17.2 million at December 31, 2010. Our goal remains to return the Bank to "well-capitalized" status, and we continue to work closely with the Bank's regulators in our efforts to comply with the terms of the Consent Order. Achievement of the required capital levels could be impacted, positively or negatively, as a result of certain uncertainties, including, but not limited to, earnings levels, changing economic conditions, asset quality and property values.

On February 2, 2011, the Company filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement to register shares of our common stock that we intend to offer to our shareholders in a shareholder rights offering and to other investors in a public offering. For more information, see below under the heading "Strategies for Complying with the Consent Order - Capital Raising."

Written Agreement with Macatawa Bank Corporation and its Regulator

Macatawa Bank Corporation has formally entered into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago ("FRB") with an effective date of July 23, 2010. Among other things, the Written Agreement provides that Macatawa Bank Corporation: (i) must take appropriate steps to fully utilize its financial and managerial resources to serve as a source of strength to the Bank; (ii) may not declare or pay any dividends without prior FRB approval; (iii) may not take dividends or any other payment representing a reduction in capital from the Bank without prior FRB approval; (iv) may not make any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior FRB approval; (v) may not incur, increase or guarantee any debt without prior FRB approval; (vi) may not purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior FRB approval; (vii) must submit a written capital plan to the FRB within 60 days of the Written Agreement; and (viii) may not appoint any new director or senior executive officer, or change the responsibilities of any senior executive officer so that the officer would assume a different senior executive officer position, without prior regulatory approval. Macatawa Bank Corporation requested and received approval from the FRB to make its third and fourth quarter 2010 interest payments on its $1.65 million in outstanding subordinated debt. Macatawa Bank Corporation has requested approval from the FRB to make its first quarter 2011 interest payment on its subordinated debt, but has not yet received approval. Each quarter Macatawa Bank Corporation intends to continue to submit requests for approval from the FRB to make the next quarter's interest payment on its subordinated debt and is continuing to accrue the interest amounts due. Macatawa Bank Corporation submitted a written capital plan to the FRB for approval in November 2010, but has not yet received approval of the plan.

Deposit Gathering Activities

During 2009 the Bank's regulatory capital ratios fell below levels required to be categorized as "well capitalized" under applicable regulatory guidelines. In addition, because the Bank is subject to the Consent Order, the Bank cannot be categorized as "well-capitalized," regardless of actual capital levels. As a result, the Bank is subject to the following restrictions regarding its deposit gathering activities:

| |  | Effective January 1, 2010, the interest rate paid for deposits by institutions that are categorized as less than "well capitalized" is limited to 75 basis points above the national rate for similar products unless the institution can support to the FDIC that prevailing rates in its market area exceed the national average. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company received notification from the FDIC that the prevailing rates in our market area exceeded the national average. Accordingly, the interest rates paid for deposits by the Bank are limited to 75 basis points above the average rate for similar products within our market area. Although this may impact our ability to compete for more rate sensitive deposits, we expect to continue to reduce our need to utilize rate sensitive deposits.

| |  | The Bank cannot accept, renew or rollover any brokered deposit unless it has applied for and been granted a waiver of this prohibition by the FDIC. The Bank has not accepted or renewed brokered deposits since November of 2008. A maturity table of deposits issued through brokers is included in Item 8 of this report in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank expects it will be able to fund maturing brokered deposits under its current liquidity contingency program.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Strategies for Complying with the Consent Order

Our strategies to increase the Bank's capital ratios in order to comply with the capital requirements of the Consent Order include the following:

| |  | We paid no senior management bonuses for 2007 through 2010.              
| |  | We have suspended merit pay increases.                                   
| |  | We suspended 401(k) plan matching contributions at the beginning of 2010.

| |   | These steps, along with other expense reduction measures, have resulted in the removal of approximately $9.0 million from our annualized operating costs since 2008. During 2010, controllable noninterest expenses, excluding nonperforming asset costs and FDIC assessments, were at their lowest quarterly levels in over five years. The management team remains active at exploring on-going cost reduction opportunities as we continue to "right-size" our operations.

| |  | Suspension of dividends.The Bank did not pay dividends to Macatawa Bank Corporation during 2009 and 2010. In previous periods, dividends from the Bank to Macatawa Bank Corporation were primarily utilized by it to pay dividends on its common and preferred stock and interest on its trust preferred securities. To preserve Bank capital, the Company has suspended dividend payments on its common and preferred stock and the deferral of interest payments on its trust preferred securities.

| |  | Risk Management and Improvement of Asset Quality. Despite the strain that a continuing soft economy places on the loan portfolio, the Company is committed to managing risk and mitigating loan losses. Tangible steps have been taken to reduce exposure within certain credit concentrations, establish more conservative lending principles that comply with regulatory standards, implement new lending and compliance policies and procedures, and enhance problem loan identification and resolution plans. These steps include increased Board of Directors oversight, specific plans to reduce substandard assets, Audit Committee oversight of the loan review process, establishment of lender accountability procedures, and enhanced loan policies and procedures.                                                                                                       
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
| |  | Asset Reduction.Total assets were reduced by $251.9 million to $1.58 billion at December 31, 2010 from $1.83 billion at December 31, 2009. The decrease in total assets was largely from a reduction in our loan portfolio from efforts to reduce concentration in certain loan types. We are implementing a concentration reduction plan to measure and monitor concentrations of credit on an ongoing basis. Execution of that plan included curtailing the origination of residential land development loans, the portfolio primarily responsible for loan losses in 2008 and 2009. Increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining updated property valuations and "right- sizing" of loan balances either through pay downs or by obtaining additional collateral in order to protect us. We expect further asset reductions in these areas as we continue to execute this plan.

| |  | Securities Portfolio Changes. During the second quarter of 2010, we completed the disposition of nearly all of the municipal, corporate and U.S. agency securities in our available-for-sale investment portfolio through sales in the open market. The securities were sold for a total of approximately $105.6 million. The sales were executed as part of our overall strategy to increase our regulatory capital ratios and liquidity. The majority of the proceeds have been initially invested in liquid money market balances with money center banks. We intend to ultimately reinvest the proceeds in higher yielding investment securities when market conditions improve.

| |  | Capital Raising. We previously increased our capital through the sale of $31.3 million of Series A Preferred Stock in the fourth quarter of 2008. During the second and third quarters of 2009, we increased our capital by $5.9 million through the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock, common stock and the subordinated debt. See Item 8 of this report in Note 18 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding these capital raises.

| |   | We also remain active at exploring alternatives to raise new capital. During the fourth quarter of 2009, we engaged an independent consulting firm to assess the risk in our loan portfolio, an important step in supporting our capital planning efforts. On February 2, 2011, we filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement to register shares of our common stock that we intend to offer to our shareholders in a shareholder rights offering and to other investors in a public offering. We have not yet determined the final terms of the offering, including the number and price of shares that we intend to offer and sell in the offering.

Given current weak economic conditions and the provisions of the Consent Order, new commercial loan origination activity is significantly lower than it was when economic conditions were stronger. However, select well-managed loan renewal activity for non-real estate loans is taking place. Following is a discussion of our various types of lending activities.

Commercial and Industrial Loans

Our commercial and industrial lending portfolio contains loans with a variety of purposes and security, including loans to finance operations and equipment. Generally, our commercial and industrial lending has been limited to borrowers headquartered, or doing business, in our primary market area. These credit relationships typically require the satisfaction of appropriate loan covenants and debt formulas, and generally require that the Bank be the primary depository bank of the business. These loan covenants and debt formulas are monitored through periodic, required reporting of accounts receivable aging schedules and financial statements, and in the case of larger business operations, reviews or audits by independent professional firms.

Commercial and industrial loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself, as well as economic conditions. Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

Because of the risks associated with this type of lending, combined with the sharp decline in demand for and resulting values of real estate in our market in the last two years, we experienced a significant increase in non-performing loan levels during 2008 and 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 primarily associated with commercial real estate loans. The increase in nonperforming loan balances is more fully discussed in Item 7 of this report under the heading "Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality" included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition."

Our commercial real estate loans consist primarily of construction and development loans and multi-family and other non-residential real estate loans.

Construction and Development Loans. These consist of construction loans to commercial customers for the construction of their business facilities. They also include construction loans to builders and developers for the construction of one- to four-family residences and the development of one- to four-family lots, residential subdivisions, condominium developments and other commercial developments.

This portfolio has been particularly adversely affected by job losses, declines in real estate value, declines in home sale volumes, and declines in new home building. Declining real estate values have resulted in sharp increases in losses, particularly in the land development and construction loan portfolios to residential developers. We curtailed this type of lending in 2008. During 2009 and 2010, we also made a significant effort to reduce exposure to residential land development and other construction and development loans. We have also established goals to further reduce this exposure in 2011.

Multi-Family and Other Non-Residential Real Estate Loans. These are permanent loans secured by multi-family and other non-residential real estate and include loans secured by apartment buildings, condominiums, small office buildings, small business facilities, medical facilities and other non-residential building properties, substantially all of which are located within our primary market area.

Multi-family and other non-residential real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by owner occupied one- to four-family residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of these loans is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project. For example, if leases are not obtained or renewed, or a bankruptcy court modifies a lease term, or a major tenant is unable to fulfill its lease obligations, cash flow from the project will be reduced. If cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

Retail Loans

Our retail loans are loans to consumers and consist primarily of residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.

Residential Mortgage Loans. We originate construction loans to individuals for the construction of their residences and owner-occupied residential mortgage loans, which are generally long-term with either fixed or adjustable interest rates. Our general policy is to sell the majority of our fixed rate residential mortgage loans in the secondary market due primarily to the interest rate risk associated with these loans.

During 2010, we sold the majority of our loan originations in the secondary market to support our goal of shrinking the loan portfolio and preserving capital. We retained loans representing only approximately 10% of the dollar volume originated. During 2009, our ability to originate and sell mortgages was limited to some extent by disruptions in the secondary market and our loss of business relationships with certain companies that have historically purchased our mortgages. However, relationships were established with new investors in 2010, allowing us to continue our historical practice of originating and selling most of our fixed rate mortgage loan volume.

Our borrowers generally qualify and are underwritten using industry standards for quality residential mortgage loans. We do not originate loans that are considered "sub-prime". Residential mortgage loan originations derive from a number of sources, including advertising, direct solicitation, real estate broker referrals, existing borrowers and depositors, builders and walk-in customers. Loan applications are accepted at most of our offices. The substantial majority of these loans are secured by one-to-four family properties in our market area.

Consumer Loans. We originate a variety of different types of consumer loans, including automobile loans, home equity lines of credit and installment loans, home improvement loans, deposit account loans and other loans for household and personal purposes. We also originate home equity lines of credit utilizing the same underwriting standards as for home equity installment loans. Home equity lines of credit are revolving line of credit loans. The majority of our existing home equity line of credit portfolio has variable rates with floors and ceilings, interest only payments and a maximum maturity of ten years.

The underwriting standards that we employ for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts and ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount. Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan

Interest income totaling $2.7 million was recorded in 2010 on loans that were on a non-accrual status or classified as restructured as of December 31, 2010. Additional interest income of $2.8 million would have been recorded during 2010 on these loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms.

We have also utilized alternative funding sources as needed, including short-term borrowings, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repo borrowings") and certificates of deposit purchased from brokers.

Before November of 2008, we purchased brokered deposits to supplement funding needs from time to time. These are time accounts originated outside of our local market area. Brokered deposits comprised approximately 4% of total deposits at December 31, 2010 and approximately 15% at December 31, 2009. The Bank has not accepted or renewed brokered deposits since November of 2008.

Securities Portfolio

Our securities portfolio is classified as either "available for sale" or "held to maturity." Securities classified as "available for sale" may be sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risks, and availability of alternative investments, or to meet our liquidity needs.

The primary objective of our investing activities is to provide for the safety of the principal invested. Our secondary considerations include the maximization of earnings, liquidity and to help decrease our overall exposure to changes in interest rates. We have generally invested in bonds with lower credit risk; primarily those secured by government agencies or insured municipalities, to assist in the diversification of credit risk within our asset base. We have not experienced any credit losses within our investment portfolio.

The following table reflects the composition of our securities portfolio as of the dates indicated.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting Macatawa Bank Corporation and Macatawa Bank. This summary is qualified in its entirety by such statutes and regulations. A change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on us and our business.

General

Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated under federal and state law. Consequently, our growth and earnings performance can be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the statutes administered by, and the regulations and policies of, various governmental regulatory authorities. Those authorities include, but are not limited to, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), the FDIC, OFIR, the Internal Revenue Service, and state taxing authorities. The effect of such statutes, regulations and policies can be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty.

Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial institutions and their holding companies regulate, among other things, the scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital levels relative to operations, lending activities and practices, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system of supervision and regulation applicable to us and our bank establishes a comprehensive framework for our respective operations and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC's deposit insurance fund, our depositors, and the public, rather than our shareholders.

Federal law and regulations establish supervisory standards applicable to our lending activities, including internal controls, credit underwriting, loan documentation and loan-to-value ratios for loans secured by real property.

Recent Developments

Dodd-Frank Act:The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank Act"), was signed into law by President Obama on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry within the United States, establishes the new federal Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection ("BCFP"), and will require the BCFP and other federal agencies to implement many new and significant rules and regulations. At this time, it is difficult to predict the extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act or the resulting rules and regulations will impact the Company's business. Compliance with these new laws and regulations will likely result in additional costs, which could be significant and could adversely impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Deposit Insurance:The FDIC has finalized changes to its deposit insurance assessment base effective April 1, 2011, which will use average assets as the base instead of quarterly deposits. Additional information about these changes may be found in this Item 1 below under the heading "Macatawa Bank - Deposit Insurance."

As a result of provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, all funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are insured in full by the FDIC from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the general FDIC deposit insurance coverage of up to $250,000 available to depositors. The increase in maximum deposit insurance coverage to $250,000 was made permanent under the Dodd-Frank Act.

Debit Card Interchange Fees and Routing:The Federal Reserve Board on December 16, 2010 issued a proposal to implement a provision in the Dodd-Frank Act that requires it to set debit-card interchange fees so they are "reasonable and proportional" to the cost of the transaction. If finalized as proposed, the rule could result in a significant reduction in banks' debit-card interchange revenue. Though the rule technically does not apply to institutions with less than $10 billion, there is concern that the price controls will harm community banks, such as Macatawa Bank, which will be pressured by the marketplace to lower their own interchange rates.

Macatawa Bank Corporation

General. Macatawa Bank Corporation is registered with, and subject to regulation by, the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended (the "BHCA"). Under the BHCA, Macatawa Bank Corporation is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve Board, and is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board periodic reports of our operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require.

In accordance with Federal Reserve Board policy, Macatawa Bank Corporation is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank in circumstances where we might not do so absent such policy. In addition, if the OFIR deems the Bank's capital to be impaired, the OFIR may require the Bank to restore its capital by a special assessment upon Macatawa Bank Corporation as the Bank's sole shareholder. If Macatawa Bank Corporation were to fail to pay any such assessment, the directors of the Bank would be required, under Michigan law, to sell the shares of the Bank's stock owned by Macatawa Bank Corporation to the highest bidder at either a public or private auction and use the proceeds of the sale to restore the Bank's capital.

As discussed in this Item 1 under the heading "Regulatory Developments," Macatawa Bank Corporation has formally entered into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago with an effective date of July 23, 2010. This information is here incorporated by reference.

Investments and Activities. In general, any direct or indirect acquisition by us of any voting shares of any bank which would result in our direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares of such bank, and any merger or consolidation between us and another financial holding company or bank holding company, will require the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA. No Federal Reserve Board approval is required for us to acquire a company, other than a bank holding company or bank, engaged in activities that are financial in nature as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.

The merger or consolidation of the Bank with another bank, or the acquisition by the Bank of assets of another bank, or the assumption of liability by the Bank to pay any deposits of another bank, will require the prior written approval of the responsible federal depository institution regulatory agency under the Bank Merger Act. In addition, in certain such cases, an application to, and the prior approval of, the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA or the OFIR under the Michigan Banking Code, may be required.

Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board uses capital adequacy guidelines in its examination and regulation of bank holding companies. If capital falls below minimum guidelines, a bank holding company may, among other items, be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses.

Additional information on our capital ratios may be found in Item 7 of this report under the heading "Capital Resources" included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and in Item 8 of this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and is here incorporated by reference.

Dividends. Macatawa Bank Corporation is a corporation separate and distinct from the Bank. Most of our revenues are dividends paid by the Bank. Thus, Macatawa Bank Corporation's ability to pay dividends to our shareholders is indirectly limited by restrictions on the Bank's ability to pay dividends described below. Further, in a policy statement, the Federal Reserve Board has expressed its view that a bank holding company should not pay cash dividends if its net income available to shareholders for the past four quarters, net of dividends paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends, its prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition, or it will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios. The Federal Reserve Board also possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies. Similar enforcement powers over our bank are possessed by the FDIC. The "prompt corrective action" provisions of federal law and regulation authorizes the FDIC to restrict the payment of dividends to Macatawa Bank Corporation by our bank if it fails to meet specified capital levels.

In addition, the Michigan Business Corporation Act provides that dividends may be legally declared or paid only if after the distribution a corporation, like Macatawa Bank Corporation, can pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business and its total assets equal or exceed the sum of its liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any holders of preferred stock whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.

Macatawa Bank Corporation previously suspended the payment of dividends on common and preferred stock and deferred interest payments on trust preferred securities. Additional information regarding the suspension of dividends and deferral of interest payments may be found in Item 5 of this report, Item 7 of this report under the heading "Capital Resources" included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and in Item 8 of this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and is here incorporated by reference.

Changes in Directors and Senior Executive Officers. Macatawa Bank Corporation and the Bank have each been advised by their federal bank regulators that they are deemed to be in troubled condition. As a result, Macatawa Bank Corporation and the Bank must each (i) provide their federal bank regulator with at least 30 days' prior notice before appointing any new director or senior executive officer or changing the responsibilities of any senior executive officer; and (ii) obtain the approval of their federal bank regulator before making (or agreeing to make) any severance payments (except pursuant to a qualified pension or retirement plan and certain other employee benefit plans). These regulatory requirements could make it more difficult for us to retain and hire qualified senior management.

Federal Securities Regulation. Our common stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We are subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act. We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which imposes numerous reporting, accounting, corporate governance and business practices on companies, as well as financial and other professionals who have involvement with the U.S. public markets. We are generally subject to these requirements and applicable SEC rules and regulations.

Macatawa Bank

General. Macatawa Bank is a Michigan banking corporation, and its deposit accounts are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (the "DIF") of the FDIC. As a DIF-insured Michigan-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the OFIR, as the chartering authority for Michigan banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of DIF. These agencies and the federal and state laws applicable to the Bank and its operations, extensively regulate various aspects of the banking business including, among other things, permissible types and amounts of loans, investments and other activities, capital adequacy, branching, interest rates on loans and on deposits, the maintenance of non-interest bearing reserves on deposit accounts, and the safety and soundness of banking practices.

On February 22, 2010, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the FDIC and OFIR. Additional information regarding the Consent Order may be found in this Item 1 of the report under the heading "Regulatory Developments," and is here incorporated by reference.

Deposit Insurance. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of four categories and assessed insurance premiums, based upon their respective levels of capital and results of supervisory evaluation. Institutions categorized as well-capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are categorized as less than adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest premium. Risk classification of all insured institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.

The FDIC is required to establish assessment rates for insured depository institutions at levels that will maintain the DIF at a Designated Reserve Ratio (DRR) selected by the FDIC within a range of 1.15% to 1.50%. The FDIC is allowed to manage the pace at which the reserve ratio varies within this range. Due to recent disruptions in the financial markets and the large numbers of bank failures in the last year, the DRR has fallen below 1.15%. The FDIC has adopted an Amended Restoration Plan which established the time within which the reserve ratio must be returned to 1.15% to seven years. The FDIC imposed a special assessment on all insured depository institutions that was collected on September 30, 2009. The FDIC may impose additional special assessments under certain circumstances. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2009, insured institutions were required to prepay their estimated risk-based assessments for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012 based on a 5% annual growth rate. Effective January 1, 2011, annual assessment rates will uniformly increase by 3 basis points.

Effective April 1, 2009, most well-capitalized banks pay 12 to 16 basis points annually, increasing to 45 basis points for banks that pose significant supervisory concerns. This base rate may be adjusted based upon the level of unsecured debt, secured liabilities or brokered deposits, as defined, resulting in adjusted rates ranging from 7 to 24 basis points annually for most well capitalized banks and 40 to 77.5 basis points annually for banks that pose significant supervisory concerns. We estimate our annual assessment rate for the first quarter of 2011 to be 32 basis points.

---



Table of Contents

The FDIC has finalized changes to its deposit insurance assessment base effective April 1, 2011, which will use average assets as the base instead of quarterly deposits. Under this new calculation, most well capitalized banks will pay 5 to 9 basis points annually, increasing to 35 basis points for banks that post significant supervisory concerns. This base rate may be adjusted for the level of unsecured debt and brokered deposits, resulting in adjusted rates ranging from 2.5 to 9 basis points annually for most well capitalized banks to 30 to 45 basis points for banks that pose significant supervisory concerns. We estimate our annual assessment rate under these new guidelines to be 23 basis points.

FICO Assessments. The Bank, as a member of the DIF, is subject to assessments to cover the payments on outstanding obligations of the Financing Corporation ("FICO"). From now until the maturity of the outstanding FICO obligations in 2019, DIF members will share the cost of the interest on the FICO bonds on a pro rata basis. It is estimated that FICO assessments during this period will be less than 0.025% of deposits.

Capital Requirements. The FDIC has established the following minimum capital standards for state-chartered, FDIC insured non-member banks, such as the Bank: a leverage requirement consisting of a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total average assets and a risk-based capital requirement consisting of a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders' equity.

Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," or "critically undercapitalized."

Federal regulations define these capital categories as follows:

|                               | Total Risk-BasedCapital Ratio | Tier 1 Risk-BasedCapital Ratio | Leverage Ratio                                          
|------------------------------ | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------
|Well capitalized               | 10% or above                  | 6% or above                    | 5% or above                                             
|Adequately capitalized         | 8% or above                   | 4% or above                    | 4% or above                                             
|Undercapitalized               | Less than 8%                  | Less than 4%                   | Less than 4%                                            
|Significantly undercapitalized | Less than 6%                  | Less than 3%                   | Less than 3%                                            
|Critically undercapitalized    | --                            | --                             | A ratio of tangible equity to total assets of 2% or less

Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators' corrective powers include: requiring the submission of a capital restoration plan; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities; requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions with affiliates; restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; ordering a new election of directors of the institution; requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution.

In general, a depository institution may be reclassified to a lower category than is indicated by its capital levels if the appropriate federal depository institution regulatory agency determines the institution to be otherwise in an unsafe or unsound condition or to be engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice. This could include a failure by the institution, following receipt of a less-than-satisfactory rating on its most recent examination report, to correct the deficiency.

Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual institutions. As long as the Bank is subject to the Consent Order, the Bank cannot be categorized as "well-capitalized" regardless of actual capital levels. As of the date of this report, the Bank was categorized as "adequately capitalized." The Consent Order requires the Bank, to have and maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of at least 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 11%. Additional information regarding our ability to achieve these capital levels may be found in this Item 1 under the heading "Regulatory Developments," and is here incorporated by reference. Additional information on our capital ratios may be found in Item 8 of this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and is here incorporated by reference.

Dividends. Under Michigan law, the Bank is restricted as to the maximum amount of dividends it may pay on its common stock. The Bank may not pay dividends except out of net income after deducting its losses and bad debts. A Michigan state bank may not declare or pay a dividend unless the bank will have surplus amounting to at least 20% of its capital after the payment of the dividend.

Table of Contents

Federal law generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. The FDIC may prevent an insured bank from paying dividends if the bank is in default of payment of any assessment due to the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC may prohibit the payment of dividends by our bank, if such payment is determined to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice.

Additional information about restrictions on payment of dividends by the Bank may be found in this Item 1 under the heading "Regulatory Developments" and in Item 8 of this report in Notes 1 and 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and is here incorporated by reference.

Insider Transactions. The Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to us or our subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of our or our subsidiaries and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of us or our subsidiaries as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by our bank to its directors and officers, to our directors and officers, the directors and officers of our bank, to our principal shareholders and to "related interests" of such directors, officers and principal shareholders. In addition, federal law and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a director or officer of our company or one of its subsidiaries or a principal shareholder in our company may obtain credit from banks with which our bank maintains a correspondent relationship.

Safety and Soundness Standards. The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. These guidelines establish standards for internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and earnings.

Investments and Other Activities. Under federal law and FDIC regulations, FDIC insured state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from making or retaining equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not permissible for a national bank. Federal law, as implemented by FDIC regulations, also prohibits FDIC insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank or its subsidiary, respectively, unless the bank meets, and continues to meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines the activity would not pose a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund of which the bank is a member. Impermissible investments and activities must be divested or discontinued within certain time frames set by the FDIC in accordance with federal law. These restrictions are not currently expected to have a material impact on the operations of our bank.

Consumer Protection Laws. The Bank's business includes making a variety of types of loans to individuals. In making these loans, we are subject to State usury and regulatory laws and to various federal statutes, including the privacy of consumer financial information provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and regulations promulgated there under, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and the regulations promulgated there under, which prohibit discrimination, specify disclosures to be made to borrowers regarding credit and settlement costs, and regulate the mortgage loan servicing activities of the Bank, including the maintenance and operation of escrow accounts and the transfer of mortgage loan servicing. In receiving deposits, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation under State and federal law and regulations, including the Truth in Savings Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Violation of these laws could result in the imposition of significant damages and fines upon the Bank and its directors and officers.

Branching Authority. Michigan banks have the authority under Michigan law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Michigan, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Banks may establish interstate branch networks through acquisitions of other banks. The establishment of de novo interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed only if specifically authorized by state law.

Michigan permits both U.S. and non-U.S. banks to establish branch offices in Michigan. The Michigan Banking Code permits, in appropriate circumstances and with the approval of OFIR, (1) acquisition of Michigan banks by FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states, (2) sale by a Michigan bank of branches to an FDIC-insured bank, savings bank or savings and loan association located in a state in which a Michigan bank could purchase branches of the purchasing entity, (3) consolidation of Michigan banks and FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states having laws permitting such consolidation, (4) establishment of branches in Michigan by FDIC-insured banks located in other states, the District of Columbia or U.S. territories or protectorates having laws permitting a Michigan bank to establish a branch in such jurisdiction, and (5) establishment by foreign banks of branches located in Michigan. A Michigan bank holding company may acquire a non-Michigan bank and a non-Michigan bank holding company may acquire a Michigan bank.

Risks related to the our Business

Other than the last three quarters of 2010, our results of operations have not been profitable in recent periods and we may incur additional losses during 2011.

We were profitable in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2010, but we had posted a high net consolidated loss in each of the preceding six consecutive quarters, and a total consolidated net loss during that time period of $123.5 million. Net income for the second quarter of 2010 was largely due to a $2.7 million gain on the sale of securities. Net income for the fourth quarter was impacted by a $574,000 gain on the sale of a bank owned property. The last three quarters of 2010 were positively affected by reductions in the allowance for loan losses. Total nonperforming assets as of December 31, 2010 remained high and related costs were elevated as well. There is no assurance that our results of operations will stay profitable in the short term or at all. We have recorded provisions for loan losses of $22.5 million and $74.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Costs associated with the administration and disposition of nonperforming assets were $15.4 million and $11.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. In light of the current economic environment, significant additional provisions for loan losses and nonperforming asset costs may yet be necessary. As a result, we may incur significant additional credit costs in 2011 or beyond, which could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, and the value of our common stock.

Our past operating results may not be indicative of its future operating results.

Our strategic direction and focus has turned from growth to improving our internal operations, including complying with the Bank's Consent Order, working out of our problem loans and assets and returning to profitable operations. We will not be able to achieve the historical rate of growth we experienced prior to the 2008 economic downturn, may not even be able to grow our business at all and may be forced to continue to shrink assets to maintain regulatory capital ratios. Various factors, many of which are discussed in more detail in the risk factors below, that may impede or prohibit our ability to grow include the impact of elevated levels of nonperforming assets, the inability to maintain or access additional capital and liquidity sources, economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations and competition. If we experience a significant decrease in our size, the our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected due to the percentage of our operating costs being fixed expenses.

Our elevated level of nonperforming assets and other problem loans could continue to have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our nonperforming assets were approximately $133.4 million (which includes non-accrual loans, foreclosed properties and other accruing loans past due 90 days or more at December 31, 2010). These elevated levels could continue to negatively impact operating results through higher loan losses, lost interest and higher costs to administer problem assets. Until these elevated levels of problem assets are reduced, we could continue to record operating losses that further materially deteriorate the our financial condition and reduce capital levels, further exposing us to additional risk factors discussed below.

National, state and local economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The results of operations for financial institutions, including our Bank, may be materially and adversely affected by changes in prevailing national, state and local economic conditions. Our profitability is heavily influenced by the quality of our loan portfolio and the stability of our deposits. Unlike larger national or other regional banks that are more geographically diversified, we provide banking and financial services to customers primarily in Ottawa, Kent and Allegan Counties of Western Michigan. The local economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on the demand for our products and services, as well as the ability of the our customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans and the stability of the our deposit funding sources. A significant decline in general economic conditions, caused by inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, outbreak of hostilities or other international or domestic occurrences, unemployment, changes in securities, financial, or credit markets or other factors could impact national as well as these local economic conditions and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our credit losses could increase and our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses.

The risk of nonpayment of loans is inherent in all lending activities and nonpayment of loans may have a material adverse effect on our earnings and overall financial condition, as well as the value of our common stock. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio and provide an allowance for potential losses based on a number of factors. If our assumptions are wrong, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover our losses, which could have an adverse affect on our operating results, and may cause us to increase the allowance in the future. The actual amount of future provisions for loan losses cannot now be determined and may exceed the amounts of past provisions. Federal banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or to recognize further loan charge-offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses could have a negative effect on our regulatory capital ratios, net income, financial condition and results of operations.

Macatawa Bank Corporation has only limited cash and cash equivalents available at the holding company level. If its cash and cash equivalents are exhausted and it is unable to access additional funds through capital raising efforts or other funding sources, it could be unable to meet its financial obligations as they came due rendering the Company insolvent.

At December 31, 2010, Macatawa Bank Corporation held at the holding company level cash and cash equivalents of $579,000 compared to $1,143,000 at December 31, 2009. As of the date of this report, Macatawa Bank Corporation anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents could be exhausted, unless it is able to access additional funds through capital raising efforts or other funding sources. If Macatawa Bank Corporation's cash and cash equivalents are exhausted, it would be unable to meet its financial obligations as they came due rendering Macatawa Bank Corporation insolvent. If Macatawa Bank Corporation were to become insolvent, it could be subject to voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceedings and its business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

If the condition of the Bank's loan portfolio worsens, its ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank could be adversely affected, which could materially adversely affect the Bank's liquidity position.

As part of its liquidity management, the Bank borrows funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank and has the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank. The borrowed funds are collateralized by certain investment securities and qualifying residential and commercial real estate loans. The Bank is permitted to borrow an amount of funds up to a certain percentage of the total investment securities and loans pledged as collateral. The Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank will not accept as collateral any loan that is rated as a 5 or worse on our internal loan grading system. If the quality of the Bank's loan portfolio worsens, the Bank could have fewer loans eligible to be pledged as collateral for borrowed funds, reducing the total amount of available funds that the Bank is permitted to borrow. A reduction in the total amount of the available funds that the Bank is permitted to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank could materially adversely affect the Bank's liquidity position.

The Bank cannot accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits without a waiver from the FDIC, which could materially adversely affect the Bank's liquidity position.

Because the Bank is subject to a Consent Order, the Bank cannot be categorized as "well-capitalized," regardless of actual capital levels. As of the date of this report, the Bank was categorized as "adequately capitalized." As a result, the Bank cannot accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit unless it has applied for and been granted a waiver of this prohibition by the FDIC. It is not likely that the Bank will be granted a waiver of this prohibition. At December 31, 2010, the Bank's brokered deposits totaled $48.2 million and represented 4% of deposits. If the Bank is not able to replace the funding required for maturing brokered deposits, the Bank's liquidity position could be materially adversely affected.

We are subject to liquidity risk in our operations, which could adversely affect our ability to fund various obligations.

Liquidity risk is the possibility of being unable to meet obligations as they come due, pay deposits when withdrawn, and fund loan and investment opportunities as they arise because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding on a timely basis, at a reasonable cost and within acceptable risk tolerances. Liquidity is required to fund various obligations, including credit obligations to borrowers, mortgage originations, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of debt, operating expenses and capital expenditures. Liquidity of the Bank is derived primarily from retail deposit growth and retention, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, net cash provided from operation and access to other funding sources. Liquidity is essential to our business. We must maintain sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale or pledging as collateral of loans and other assets could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. An inability to retain the current level of deposits, including the loss of one or more of the Bank's larger deposit relationships, could have a material adverse effect on the Bank's liquidity. Our access to funding sources

We are not in compliance with the Consent Order. This could result in enforcement action against us.

The Bank is subject to a Consent Order with the FDIC and OFIR. The Bank is required to have and maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of at least 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 11%. The Bank was not in compliance with these capital ratios at December 31, 2010. We are evaluating alternatives to reach and maintain the capital levels required by the Consent Order. Achievement of these capital levels could be impacted, positively or negatively, as a result of certain uncertainties, including, but not limited to, earnings levels, changing economic conditions, asset quality and property values. A failure to raise additional capital to satisfy the capital levels required by the Consent Order could materially adversely affect our ability to maintain our current level of assets and to further expand our operations through organic growth. In addition, the Bank could become subject to an enforcement action, which could result in removal of directors, officers, employees and institution affiliated parties, and the imposition of civil money penalties and even ultimately closure of the Bank.

Failure to comply with the Written Agreement could result in enforcement proceedings.

Macatawa Bank Corporation is subject to a Written Agreement with the FRB. The failure to comply with the terms of the Written Agreement could result in proceedings to enforce the Written Agreement. Such proceedings could result in removal of directors, officers, employees and institution affiliated parties, and the imposition of civil money penalties.

A pending SEC investigation may subject us to significant costs and could divert management attention.

We have been fully cooperating with the SEC, which is conducting a non-public fact-finding investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Company's restatement of earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and our decision to revise its previously announced financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The SEC has not provided us with notice asserting that any violations of the securities laws have occurred, but there can be no assurance as to the outcome of its investigation. We have already incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant legal expenses arising from the investigation. If the SEC were to institute legal action, we could face fines and penalties in an amount that could be material and we could be required to take remedial actions determined by the SEC or a court.

Our construction and development lending has exposed us to significant risks and has resulted in a disproportionate amount of the increase in our provision for loan losses in recent periods.

Construction and development loans consist of loans to commercial customers for the construction of their business facilities. They also include construction loans to builders and developers for the construction of one- to four-family residences and the development of one- to four-family lots, residential subdivisions, condominium developments and other commercial developments. This portfolio has been particularly adversely affected by job losses, declines in real estate value, declines in home sale volumes, and declines in new home building. Declining real estate values have resulted in sharp increases in losses, particularly in the land development and construction loan portfolios to residential developers. This type of lending is generally considered to have more complex credit risks than traditional single-family residential lending because the principal is concentrated in a limited number of loans with repayment dependent on the successful completion and sales of the related real estate project. Consequently, these loans are often more sensitive to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the general economy than other real estate loans. These loans are generally less predictable and more difficult to evaluate and monitor and collateral may be difficult to dispose of in a market decline. Additionally, we may experience significant construction loan losses if independent appraisers or project engineers inaccurately estimate the cost and value of construction loan projects. The Company curtailed this type of lending in 2008. During 2009 and 2010, we also made a significant effort to reduce our exposure to residential land development and other construction and development loans.

Construction and development loans have contributed disproportionately to the increase in our provisions for loan losses in recent periods. As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately $95.7 million in loans to residential developers, or approximately 7.8% of our loan portfolio. Approximately $28.9 million, or 49.8%, of our net charge-offs during 2009 and approximately $9.2 million, or 31.0%, of our net charge-offs during 2010 were attributable to construction and development loans. Further deterioration in our construction and development loan portfolio could result in additional increases in the provision for loan losses and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have significant exposure to risks associated with commercial and residential real estate.

A substantial portion of our loan portfolio consists of commercial and residential real estate-related loans, including real estate development, construction and residential and commercial mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately $669.2 million of commercial real estate loans outstanding, which represented approximately 55% of our loan portfolio. As of that same date, we had approximately $135.2 million in residential real estate loans outstanding, or approximately 11% of our loan portfolio. Consequently, real estate-related credit risks are a significant concern for us. The adverse consequences from real estate-related credit risks tend to be cyclical and are often driven by national economic developments that are not controllable or entirely foreseeable by us or our borrowers. General difficulties in our real estate markets have recently contributed to significant increases in our nonperforming loans, charge-offs, and decreases in our income.

Commercial loans may expose us to greater financial and credit risk than other loans.

Our commercial loan portfolio, including commercial mortgages, was approximately $933.9 million at December 31, 2010, comprising approximately 77% of our total loan portfolio. Commercial loans generally carry larger loan balances and can involve a greater degree of financial and credit risk than other loans. Any significant failure to pay on time by our customers would hurt our earnings. The increased financial and credit risk associated with these types of loans are a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the size of loan balances, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. In addition, when underwriting a commercial or industrial loan, we may take a security interest in commercial real estate, and, in some instances upon a default by the borrower, we may foreclose on and take title to the property, which may lead to potential financial risks for us under applicable environmental laws. If hazardous substances were discovered on any of these properties, we may be liable to governmental agencies or third parties for the costs of remediation of the hazard, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Many environmental laws can impose liability regardless of whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the contamination.

Our loan portfolio has and will continue to be affected by the on-going correction in residential real estate prices and reduced levels of home sales.

Loans to residential developers involved in the development or sale of 1-4 family residential properties were approximately $95.7 million and $153.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009. There continues to be a general slowdown in the housing market in our market area, reflecting declining prices and excess inventories of houses to be sold. As a result, home builders have shown signs of financial deterioration. We expect the home builder market to continue to be volatile and anticipate continued pressure on the home builder segment. As we continue our on-going portfolio monitoring, we will make credit and reserve decisions based on the current conditions of the borrower or project combined with our expectations for the future. If the deterioration in the housing market continues, we could experience higher charge-offs and delinquencies in this portfolio.

We may face increasing pressure from historical purchasers of our residential mortgage loans to repurchase those loans or reimburse purchasers for losses related to those loans.

We generally sell the fixed rate long-term residential mortgage loans we originate on the secondary market and retain adjustable rate mortgage loans for our portfolios. In response to the financial crisis, we believe that purchasers of residential mortgage loans, such as government sponsored entities, are increasing their efforts to seek to require sellers of residential mortgage loans to either repurchase loans previously sold or reimburse purchasers for losses related to loans previously sold when losses are incurred on a loan previously sold due to actual or alleged failure to strictly conform to the purchaser's purchase criteria. As a result, while we have not yet been required to repurchase such loans, we may face increasing pressure from historical purchasers of our residential mortgage loans to repurchase those loans or reimburse purchasers for losses related to those loans and we may face increasing expenses to defend against such claims. If we are required in the future to repurchase loans previously sold, reimburse purchasers for losses related to loans previously sold, or if we incur increasing expenses to defend against such claims, our financial condition and results of operations would be negatively affected, and would lower our capital ratios as a result of increasing assets and lowering income through expenses and any loss incurred.

Changes in interest rates may negatively affect our earnings and the value of our assets.

Our earnings and cash flows depend substantially upon our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earnings assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rates are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions, competition and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the policies of the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could

The Dodd-Frank Act may adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), was signed into law by President Obama. The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry within the United States, establishes the new federal Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the "BCFP"), and will require the BCFP and other federal agencies to implement many new and significant rules and regulations. At this time, it is difficult to predict the extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act or the resulting rules and regulations will impact the Company's and the Bank's business. Compliance with these new laws and regulations will likely result in additional costs, which could be significant, and could adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

We are subject to significant government regulation, and any regulatory changes may adversely affect us.

The banking industry is heavily regulated under both federal and state law. These regulations are primarily intended to protect customers, not our creditors or shareholders. We are subject to extensive regulation by the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and OFIR, in addition to other regulatory and self-regulatory organizations. Regulations affecting banks and financial services companies undergo continuous change, and we cannot predict the ultimate effect of such changes, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability or financial condition.

We could be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions, including defaults by larger financial institutions.

Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships between financial institutions. We have exposure to multiple counterparties, and we routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial industry. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by the Bank or by other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as "systemic risk" and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and exchanges, with which we interact on a daily basis, and therefore could adversely affect us.

The Bank may be required to pay additional insurance premiums to the FDIC, which could negatively impact earnings.

Recent insured institution failures, as well as deterioration in banking and economic conditions, have significantly increased FDIC loss provisions, resulting in a decline in the designated reserve ratio to historical lows. The reserve ratio may continue to decline in the future. In addition, the limit on FDIC coverage has been increased to $250,000. These developments have caused the premiums assessed to the Bank by the FDIC to increase. Further, depending upon any future losses that the FDIC insurance fund may suffer, there can be no assurance that there will not be additional premium increases in order to replenish the fund. The FDIC may need to set a higher base rate schedule or impose special assessments due to future financial institution failures and updated failure and loss projections. Potentially higher FDIC assessment rates could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

The proposed offering of our common stock may increase the risk of an "ownership change" for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which may materially impair our ability to use our deferred tax assets.

On February 2, 2011, we filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement to register shares of our common stock that we intend to offer to our shareholders in a shareholder rights offering and to other investors in a public offering. For more information, see above under the heading "Strategies for Complying with the Consent Order - Capital Raising."

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2010, our net deferred tax asset was $25.6 million (before valuation allowance). Our ability to use our deferred tax assets to offset future taxable income will be limited if we experience an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, an ownership change will occur if there is a cumulative increase in our ownership by "5-percent shareholders" (as defined in the Code) that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. A corporation that experiences an ownership change will generally be subject to an annual limitation on the use of its pre-ownership change deferred tax assets equal to the equity value of the corporation immediately before the ownership change, multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate, which is currently 4.47% for ownership changes occurring in February 2011.

The offering could cause us to experience an "ownership change" as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Even if the offering does not cause us to experience an "ownership change," the issuance of our shares of common stock in the offering materially increases the risk that we could experience an "ownership change" in the future. As a result, issuances or sales of common stock or other securities in the future, or certain other direct or indirect changes in ownership, could result in an "ownership change" under Section 382 of the Code.

In the event an "ownership change" were to occur, we could realize a permanent loss of a significant portion of our U.S. federal deferred tax assets (related to net operating loss carryforwards) and lose certain built-in losses that have not been recognized for tax purposes. The amount of the permanent loss would depend on the size of the annual limitation (which is in part a function of our market capitalization at the time of an "ownership change") and the remaining carry forward period (U.S. federal net operating losses generally may be carried forward for a period of 20 years).

Due to the losses incurred in recent years and in the first quarter of 2010, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our entire deferred tax asset. If an "ownership change" had occurred on December 31, 2010, there would have been no direct financial impact because the asset is fully reserved, however, the ownership change would have affected the amount of valuation allowance we may be able to reverse in the future.

We rely heavily on our management and other key personnel, and the loss of any of them may adversely affect our operations.

We are and will continue to be dependent upon the services of our management team and other key personnel. Losing the services of one or more key members of our management team could adversely affect our operations.

Our controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.

Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met.

If we fail to identify and remediate control deficiencies, it is possible that a material misstatement of interim or annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In addition, any failure or circumvention of our other controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be a defendant in a variety of litigation and other actions, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation arising out of our business. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation or cause us to incur unexpected expenses, which could be material in amount. Should the ultimate expenses, judgments or settlements in any litigation exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, nor may it be able to obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all.

Our future success is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive banking industry.

We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of different competitors. Our future growth and success will depend on our ability to compete effectively in this highly competitive environment. We compete for deposits, loans and other financial services with numerous Michigan-based and out-of-state banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well as other entities which provide financial services. Some of the financial institutions and financial services organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as we are. Most of our competitors have been in business for many years, have established customer bases, are larger, and have substantially higher

Evaluation of investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment involves subjective determinations and could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition.

The evaluation of impairments is a quantitative and qualitative process, which is subject to risks and uncertainties and is intended to determine whether declines in the fair value of investments should be recognized in current period earnings. The risks and uncertainties include changes in general economic conditions, the issuer's financial condition or future recovery prospects, the effects of changes in interest rates or credit spreads and the expected recovery period. Estimating future cash flows involves incorporating information received from third-party sources and making internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the underlying collateral and assessing the probability that an adverse change in future cash flows has occurred. The determination of the amount of other-than-temporary impairments is based upon our periodic evaluation and assessment of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Such evaluations and assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. Our management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and uses reasonable judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for recovery. Inherent in management's evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Impairments to the carrying value of our investment securities may need to be taken in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We depend upon the accuracy and completeness of information about customers.

In deciding whether to extend credit to customers, we may rely on information provided to it by its customers, including financial statements and other financial information. We may also rely on representations of customers as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports of independent auditors. Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted to the extent that we extend credit in reliance on financial statements or other information provided by customers that is false or misleading.

We continually encounter technological change, and we may have fewer resources than our competitors to continue to invest in technological improvements.

The banking industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing such products and services to our customers.

Risks associated with the Company's stock

Our ability to pay dividends is limited and we may be unable to pay future dividends.

We have suspended payment of dividends on our preferred and common stock in order to preserve capital and we do not expect to resume payment of dividends in the near term. Our ability to pay dividends is limited by regulatory restrictions and the need to maintain sufficient regulatory capital. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to Macatawa Bank Corporation is limited by its obligation to maintain sufficient capital and by other general restrictions on dividends that are applicable to us. Under Michigan law, the Bank is restricted from paying dividends to the Company until its deficit retained earnings has been restored. The Bank had a retained deficit of approximately $39.8 million at December 31, 2010.

Additional information on restrictions on payments of dividends by us may be found in Item 1 of this report under the headings "Regulatory Developments" and "Supervision and Regulation," in Item 7 of this report under the under the heading "Capital Resources" included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and in Item 8 of this report in Notes 1 and 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and is here incorporated by reference.

The market price of our common stock can be volatile, which may make it more difficult to resell our common stock at a desired time and price.

Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for a shareholder to resell our common stock when a shareholder wants to and at prices a shareholder finds attractive or at all. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors, regardless of operating results. These factors include, among other things:

We may issue additional shares of our common stock in the future, which could dilute a shareholder's ownership of common stock.

Our articles of incorporation authorize our Board of Directors, without shareholder approval, to, among other things, issue additional shares of common or preferred stock. The issuance of any additional shares of common or preferred stock could be dilutive to a shareholder's ownership of Company common stock. To the extent that we issue options or warrants to purchase common stock in the future and the options or warrants are exercised, our shareholders may experience further dilution. Holders of shares of our common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, shareholders may not be permitted to invest in future issuances of our common or preferred stock.

Because of our capital requirements, we may find it necessary to sell common stock to raise capital under circumstances and at prices which result in extreme dilution.

Although publicly traded, our common stock has substantially less liquidity than the average liquidity of stocks listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

Although our common stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, our common stock has substantially less liquidity than the average liquidity for companies listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of our common stock at any given time. This marketplace depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. This limited market may affect a shareholder's ability to sell shares on short notice, and the sale of a large number of shares at one time could temporarily depress the market price of our common stock. For these reasons, our common stock should not be viewed as a short-term investment.

Our common stock is not insured by any governmental entity.

Our common stock is not a deposit account or other obligation of any bank and is not insured by the FDIC or any other governmental entity. Investment in our common stock is subject to risk, including possible loss.

We may issue debt and equity securities that are senior to our common stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of our common stock.

We have in the past and may in the future increase its capital by entering into debt or debt-like financing or issuing debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of senior notes, subordinated notes, preferred stock or common stock. In the event of the Company's liquidation, its lenders and holders of its debt securities would receive a distribution of the Company's available assets before distributions to the holders of Company common stock. The Company's decision to incur debt and issue securities in future offerings will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond its control. The Company cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of its future offerings and debt financings. Future offerings could reduce the value of shares of Company common stock and dilute a shareholder's interest in the Company.

Exercise of our outstanding Warrants to purchase common stock or conversion of our outstanding preferred stock could substantially dilute a shareholder's ownership of common stock.

We have issued Warrants to purchase a total of 1,478,811 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share.

We have outstanding 31,290 shares of Class A Preferred Stock, which are convertible into approximately 3,496,032 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $8.95 per share. We have outstanding 2,350 shares of Class B Preferred Stock, which are convertible into approximately 391,675 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $6.00 per share.

The exercise or conversion, in whole or in part, of these securities into shares of our common stock could substantially dilute a shareholder's ownership of common stock.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Michigan laws contain certain provisions that could make a takeover more difficult.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws, and the laws of Michigan, include provisions which are designed to provide our Board of Directors with time to consider whether a hostile takeover offer is in our best interest and the best interests of our shareholders. These provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. The provisions also could diminish the opportunities for a holder of our common stock to participate in tender offers, including tender offers at a price above the then-current price for our common stock. These provisions could also prevent transactions in which our shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices, and may limit the ability of our shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.

The Michigan Business Corporation Act contains provisions intended to protect shareholders and prohibit or discourage certain types of hostile takeover activities. In addition to these provisions and the provisions of our articles of incorporation and by-laws, Federal law requires the Federal Reserve Board's approval prior to acquisition of "control" of a bank holding company. All of these provisions may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control at the company level without action by our shareholders, and therefore, could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

If an entity holds as little as a 5% interest in our outstanding securities, that entity could, under certain circumstances, be subject to regulation as a "bank holding company."

Any entity, including a "group" composed of natural persons, owning or controlling with the power to vote 25% or more of our outstanding securities, or 5% or more if the holder otherwise exercises a "controlling influence" over us, may be subject to regulation as a "bank holding company" in accordance with the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"). In addition, (i) any bank holding company or foreign bank with a U.S. presence may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the BHC Act to acquire or retain 5% or more of our outstanding securities and (ii) any person not otherwise defined as a company by the BHC Act and its implementing regulations may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, to acquire or retain 10% or more of our outstanding securities. Becoming a bank holding company imposes statutory and regulatory restrictions and obligations, such as providing managerial and financial strength for its bank subsidiaries. Regulation as a bank holding company could require the holder to divest all or a portion of the holder's investment in our securities or those nonbanking investments that may be deemed impermissible or incompatible with bank holding company status, such as a material investment in a company unrelated to banking.

|ITEM 7: | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
|------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition contains forward-looking statements. Please refer to the discussion of forward-looking statements at the beginning of this report.

The following section presents additional information to assess our results of operations and financial condition. This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the supplemental financial data contained elsewhere in this Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

Macatawa Bank Corporation is a Michigan corporation and a registered holding company. It wholly-owns Macatawa Bank, Macatawa Statutory Trust I and Macatawa Statutory Trust II. Macatawa Bank is a Michigan chartered bank with deposit accounts insured by the FDIC. The Bank operates twenty-six branch offices and a lending and operational service facility, providing a full range of commercial and consumer banking and trust services in Kent County, Ottawa County, and northern Allegan County, Michigan. Macatawa Statutory Trusts I and II are grantor trusts and issued $20.0 million each of pooled trust preferred securities. These trusts are not consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information regarding consolidation, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

At December 31, 2010, we had total assets of $1.58 billion, total loans of $1.22 billion, total deposits of $1.28 billion and shareholders' equity of $67.8 million. While we recognized a net loss of $17.9 million for 2010, it was substantially improved compared to the prior two years, and we experienced three consecutive quarters of net income to end 2010. The weak local and national economic conditions that have persisted over the past few years contributed to the $38.9 million and $63.6 million of operating losses we reported during 2008 and 2009 and the $21.1 million loss in the first quarter of 2010. The losses for each period were largely attributable to loan losses, lost interest on non-performing assets and rising costs of administering problem assets associated with the rapid increase in problem loans and other real estate assets. The results for 2009 also included a non-cash charge of $18.0 million included in federal income tax expense associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the results for 2008 included non-cash, after tax impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets of $27 million. There will be no further negative affect on our results of operations associated with deferred tax assets or goodwill, as these assets have been written off or reserved for in their entirety.

As a result of our losses, in 2009, our Board of Directors significantly changed our strategic direction to focus on improving our internal operations and working out of our problem loans and assets. The Board of Directors has implemented additional corporate governance practices and disciplined business and banking principles, including more conservative lending principles that comply with regulatory standards. The focus of our management team turned from growth in our business to executing these disciplined business and banking procedures and policies designed to limit future losses, preserve capital and improve operational efficiencies. In addition, the Board of Directors added experienced members during the year to provide further oversight and guidance to the Company. These efforts are reflected in the results for 2010 with lower levels of chargeoffs and provision for loan losses, reductions in operating expenses and reduction in balance sheet totals resulting in improvement in our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios. As of the date of this report, the Bank was categorized as "adequately capitalized" under applicable regulatory guidelines.

During the course of the audit procedures for 2009, our independent registered accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2009, Crowe Horwath LLP, identified certain deficiencies in our credit administration and allowance for loan loss process that we and they determined constituted a "material weakness" in internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2009.  Also at December 31, 2009, Crowe Horwath LLP determined that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  As discussed above and throughout this document, significant improvements in our processes and our financial results and financial condition occurred during the year ended December 31, 2010. We do not have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and our independent public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2010, BDO USA LLP, has issued an unqualified report on its audit of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 in Item 8 of this report, and did not include a paragraph in its report expressing substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We have determined that the improved controls instituted in response to the material weakness identified at December 31, 2009 have remediated the deficiencies and have concluded that there are no material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2010.  BDO USA LLP has also issued an unqualified report on its audit of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 in Item 9A of this report, which states that Macatawa Bank Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.

We have also worked closely with our regulators at the FRB, the FDIC and the OFIR to put in place improved controls and procedures. On February 22, 2010, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the FDIC and OFIR, its primary banking regulators.

Additional information further describing changes in our business, including those in response to our recent losses and to the Consent Order, are described in detail in Item 8 of this report in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary:Net loss available to common shares was $17.9 million or $1.01 loss per common share for 2010 compared to net loss of $66.5 million or $3.81 loss per common share for 2009.

The results for 2010 included the following: a $2.7 million gain on the sale of our investment securities portfolio in the second quarter and a $574,000 gain recognized on the sale of property in the fourth quarter that had been held for future expansion. The results for 2009 included the following: a non-cash charge of $18.0 million included in federal income tax expense associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, a $5.5 million charge associated with the settlement of the Trade Partners lawsuit, and a $960,000 industry-wide special FDIC assessment. These items are discussed more fully below.

The overall improvement in financial results for 2010 compared to 2009 relate primarily to the performance of the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was $22.5 million for 2010 compared to $74.3 million for 2009. Net chargeoffs of loans were down in 2010 at $29.7 million compared to $58.0 million in 2009. Costs associated with nonperforming assets were $15.4 million for 2010 compared to $11.4 million for 2009. The increase in 2010 is primarily the result of losses and writedowns of other real estate owned. Lost interest from non-performing assets was approximately $9.8 million and $9.1 million for 2010 and 2009. Each of these items is discussed more fully below.

More information regarding the steps designed to limit future losses including complying with the requirements of the Consent Order may be found below in this Item 7 of the report under the headings "Noninterest Expense" and "Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality", and in Item 1 of this report under the heading "Recent Business Developments."

Net Interest Income:Net interest income totaled $50.6 million during 2010 compared to $52.8 million during 2009.

The decrease in net interest income during 2010 compared to 2009 was due primarily to a $349.3 million decrease in average earning assets partially offset by a 46 basis point increase in net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets (i.e. "net interest margin" or "margin"). As is customary in the banking industry, interest income on tax-exempt securities is adjusted in the computation of the yield on tax-exempt securities and net interest margin using a 35% tax rate to report these items on a fully taxable equivalent basis. Average interest earning assets decreased from $1.88 billion to $1.54 billion from a focus on reducing credit exposure within certain segments throughout 2010, liquidity improvement and capital preservation.

The net interest margin increased to 3.28% for 2010 from 2.82% for 2009. Reduced reversals of accrued interest on loans moving to nonaccrual status resulted in approximately 4 basis points of the increase. Despite the negative impact of the sale of our securities portfolio in the second quarter of 2010, our net interest margin has continued to improve during 2010; from 3.04% in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 3.38% in the fourth quarter of 2010. The sale of the securities portfolio is discussed further in this Item 7 under the heading "Noninterest Income".

The yield on earning assets decreased 17 basis points to 4.93% for 2010 from 5.10% for 2009. The decline was from a decrease in the yield on our variable rate loan portfolio, an increase in the balance of lower yielding liquid investments and elevated average balances of non-accrual loans. The 400 basis point decline in the prime rate that occurred during 2008 continued to cause a decrease in the yield on our variable rate loan portfolio in 2010 as loans continued to mature and reprice at lower interest rates. We have chosen to hold excess investable funds in these lower yielding short-term investments to improve our balance sheet liquidity during this period of challenging economic conditions.

The primary driver of our improvement in net interest margin for 2010 was a 68 basis point decrease in our cost of funds from 2.56% for 2009 to 1.88% for 2010. Average interest bearing liabilities decreased from $1.7 billion in 2009 to $1.3 billion in 2010. Most of this decrease was in our highest costing sources of funds thereby accomplishing a favorable mix change in interest bearing liabilities. The largest decrease was a $195.9 million decrease in average balances of time deposits, decreasing the cost of funds for those deposits from 3.66% in 2009 to 1.40% in 2010. Also impacting the reduction in cost of funds were reductions in the rates paid on other deposit and borrowing types in 2010 as compared to 2009.

In 2011, the level of earning assets is expected to continue to decline due to the persistent weak economic conditions in Michigan. The continued decline in the level of earning assets may have a further negative impact on net interest income in 2011, however, we expect the pace of decline in balances to be reduced in 2011. A continued decline in the cost of funds, primarily from the repricing of term funding at lower costs, is expected to partially offset the impact of lower earning asset levels in 2011.

The following table shows an analysis of net interest margin for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for 2010 was $22.5 million compared to $74.3 million for 2009. The reduction in provision for 2010 was partially related to decreases in net charge-offs during the past eighteen months but also due to a slowing in the decline of real estate values in 2010 on properties securing our loans compared to the previous two years. The provision for loan losses was higher in 2009 as we responded to rapid declines in real estate values due to weakness in the economy. Our response required higher levels of charge-offs which also led to a higher provision for loan losses. Net charge-offs were $29.7 million in 2010 and $58.0 million in 2009. The higher level of charge-offs have been mostly associated with significant declines in the value of collateral securing collateral dependent real estate loans primarily for residential land development. We are starting to see signs of stabilization of values in these portfolio segments.

In response to these elevated loan losses and the need to comply with the requirements of the Consent Order, the Board of Directors has increased the governance over the lending function and, working directly with the management team, has taken steps to reduce our exposure within certain credit concentrations, establish more conservative lending principles that comply with regulatory standards and implement new lending and compliance procedures and policies and new problem loan identification and resolution plans. More information regarding these steps may be found in this Item 7 of the report under the heading "Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality."

The ultimate amount of the loan loss provision in all periods is a byproduct of establishing our allowance for loan losses at levels believed to be adequate under 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 in this Item 7 of the report under the heading "Allowance for Loan Losses" below and in Item 8 of this report in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest Income: Noninterest income totaled $18.0 million in 2010 compared to $16.7 million in 2009. Noninterest income for 2010 included $2.7 million in gains on the sale of our investment securities portfolio and a $574,000 gain on the sale of a property we were holding for future expansion.

Revenue from deposit services decreased $524,000 to $4.3 million in 2010 compared to $4.8 million in 2009. The decline in 2010 was related primarily to decreases in non-sufficient fund fees, consistent with a decline across the entire banking industry.

Net gains on mortgage loans included gains on the sale of real estate mortgage loans to the secondary market. We sell the majority of the fixed-rate mortgage loans we originate. We do not retain the servicing rights for the loans we sell.

Gains on sales of loans decreased $926,000 in 2010 to $1.5 million compared to $2.4 million in 2009. The low level of mortgage interest rates reached in the first quarter of 2009 and sustained throughout 2010 led to a higher level of refinancing in both periods. This favorable rate environment for mortgage refinancing and our focus on shrinking our loan portfolio and preserving capital, are the primary reasons for the increase in loans originated for sale and the resulting level of gains on sales of loans for 2009 and 2010. The 2009 volume was also positively impacted by a governmental program providing tax credits for first time home buyers. This program ended in early 2010.

We recently added a new consumer loan manager, which we anticipate will positively impact our volume of mortgage and consumer loan activity. Along with this, as mortgage rates remain low at the end of 2010, we anticipate continued elevated levels of mortgage banking income in the first part of 2011.

Trust service revenue declined $728,000, or 19.1%, to $3.1 million in 2010 from $3.8 million in 2009. A challenging market for account growth and retention and general declines in customer stock portfolio values associated with the significant decline in the stock market during 2008 were the primary reasons for the decrease in trust income in each period. Our financial performance and the existence of the Consent Order may also be impacting how we are perceived in the marketplace, resulting in challenges to retain trust customers and maintain current levels of trust revenue.

ATM and debit card processing income increased $580,000 in 2010 to $3.8 million compared to $3.2 million in 2009. The increase reflected a continued increase in usage from current customers and overall growth in the number of debit and ATM card customers. Promotional efforts to increase volume in these low cost transaction alternatives continued to be successful.

During the second quarter of 2010, the sale of our securities portfolio resulted in a gain of $2.7 million. We completed the disposition of nearly all of the municipal, corporate and U.S. agency securities in our available-for-sale investment portfolio through sales in the open market. These securities were comprised of approximately $46.9 million in municipal securities with an average yield of 4.15% and an average life of 3.5 years, $5.2 million in corporate securities with an average yield of 2.94% and an average life of 2.6 years, and $50.2 million in U.S. agency securities with an average yield of 3.84% and an average life of 1.1 years. The sales were executed as part of our overall strategy to increase our regulatory capital ratios. The majority of the proceeds have been initially invested in liquid money market balances with money center banks. We intend to ultimately reinvest the proceeds in higher yielding investment securities when market conditions improve.

Other income was $2.7 million in 2010 compared to $2.5 million in 2009. The amount for 2010 included a gain on the sale of a property that was held for future branch expansion. This property was sold in the fourth quarter of 2010 for a gain $574,000. Offsetting this was a decrease in earnings from bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") which totaled $620,000 in 2010 compared to $1.3 million in 2009. A death benefit was realized in 2009 causing higher BOLI income.

Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense totaled $62.7 million for 2010 compared to $67.4 million for 2009.

Noninterest expense for 2009 included a $5.5 million charge associated with the settlement of the Trade Partners lawsuit. The Trade Partners settlement is further discussed in Item 8 of this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 17.

Costs associated with nonperforming assets continues to remain elevated, increasing $4.0 million in 2010 to $15.4 million compared to $11.4 million in 2009. These costs included legal costs, repossessed and foreclosed property administration expense and losses on repossessed and foreclosed properties. Repossessed and foreclosed property administration expense included survey and appraisal, property maintenance and management and other disposition and carrying costs. Losses on

In response to the elevated problem asset levels, the related costs to administer these assets and the need to comply with the requirements of the Consent Order, the Board of Directors and management have taken tangible steps to reduce problem asset levels. These steps are discussed further in this Item 7 under the heading "Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality" below and in Item 8 of this report in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Because of these additional steps and as problems loans move through the collection process, these costs associated with nonperforming assets have remained elevated during 2010 and are expected to continue to be elevated in 2011.

FDIC assessments increased to $4.7 million in 2010 compared to $4.5 million in 2009. The FDIC assessments were high as a result of increased assessment rates implemented by the FDIC in late 2008, including additional risk-based assessments applicable to the Bank. The increase for 2009 included an industry-wide special assessment of $960,000. We expect our FDIC assessments for 2011 to remain high as a result of these increased assessment rates. Further discussion regarding the determination of FDIC assessments for the Bank may be found in Item 1 of this report under the heading "Supervision and Regulation."

Total noninterest expense was $62.7 million in 2010, compared to $67.4 million in 2009. When excluding the Trade Partners litigation settlement charge in 2009 and the nonperforming asset costs and FDIC assessments for each year, other non-interest expense items were approximately $42.6 million in 2010 compared to $46.0 million in 2009. The steady decline in these other expense areas reflected our active management of controllable costs to offset the increases in nonperforming asset costs.

Salaries and benefit expense decreased $2.5 million, or 10%, to $21.9 million from $24.3 million in 2009 due to our continued focus on operational efficiencies and continued curtailment of bonuses and wage increases in response to economic conditions. We have continued to scale down our operations with the shrinkage in size of the Bank and focus on a disciplined approach to our business. Staff reductions in the loan origination function are discussed more fully below under the heading "Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality." Salaries and benefit expense are expected to remain stable in 2011 as a result of the initiatives taken in the past two years to right size our Bank. Merit increases have again been suspended for 2011.

Occupancy expense declined $287,000 in 2010 following a decrease of $59,000 in 2009. Furniture and equipment expense was down $472,000 in 2010 after a decrease of $53,000 in 2009. Marketing and data processing expenses both declined slightly in 2010 and 2009. Other expense was down $1.5 million in both 2010 and 2009. The declines in 2010 and 2009 within these expense areas were the direct result of initiatives to reduce controllable costs, including the curtailment of certain growth activities as a result of the difficult economic conditions that have impacted our results. In addition to eliminating or outsourcing certain backroom functions, these initiatives included restructuring third party contracts, acceleration of electronic delivery for certain customers and trimming controllable costs.

Legal and professional fees increased $510,000 from $1,277,000 in 2009 to $1,787,000 in 2010. The increase was a result of additional professional time and effort with respect to regulatory filings and matters surrounding the Consent Order.

Insurance costs for bond and directors and officers ("D&O") insurance increased significantly from $541,000 in 2009 to $2,214,000 in 2010. Our costs increased as a result of increasing our coverage levels from 2009 and a higher rate per dollar of coverage charged due to the perceived increased risk by the insurance carrier of our coming under the Consent Order in 2010.

We expect efficiency, excluding FDIC assessments and the costs necessary to manage non-performing assets, to continue to improve in 2011 as a result of our continued expense reduction initiatives.

Federal Income Tax Expense (Benefit): We recorded federal income tax expense of $1.3 million in 2010 and federal income tax benefit of $8.6 million in 2009. We recorded income tax expense of $1.3 million for 2010 primarily related to a reclassification from other comprehensive income for gains recognized in earnings associated with the sale of our investment securities. A $26.6 million tax benefit in 2009, primarily associated with the $72.2 million loss before income taxes, a portion of which was able to be carried back due to a tax law change, was offset by the need to establish an $18.0 million valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance has been maintained on our deferred tax assets each reporting period since then. 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 carry-back losses to available tax years. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence, including taxable income in carry-back years, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. At December 31, 2010, our tax valuation allowance totaled $25.6 million. The valuation allowance may be reversed to income in future periods to the extent that the related deferred tax assets are realized or the valuation allowance is no longer required. The realization of our deferred tax assets is largely dependent upon our ability to generate future taxable income. We returned to profitability in each of the last three quarters of 2010 and if we continue to generate consistent profitability, the need to maintain the valuation allowance will diminish. We perform an analysis each quarter as to the need to maintain the valuation allowance.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, a tax law change extended the carry-back of 2009 and 2008 net operating losses to five years from the previous two year carry-back period. As a result we recorded an $11.4 million favorable tax benefit that reduced our net operating loss for 2009. This carry-back extension was only available to financial institutions, such as Macatawa, that did not receive capital under the U.S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). This change allowed us to carry-back and recover the full tax benefit of our 2009 net operating loss. We received $18.1 million in income tax refunds during 2010 as a result of this tax law change.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Summary: Total assets were $1.58 billion at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $251.9 million from $1.83 billion at December 31, 2009.

The decrease in total assets was largely from a decline of $293.6 million in our loan portfolio due to efforts to reduce concentration in certain loan types and improve on-balance-sheet liquidity. Part of the decline in the loan portfolio was from $29.7 million of net loan charge-offs primarily associated with valuation declines on collateral dependent real estate loans.

The reduction in assets since December 31, 2009 allowed us to reduce wholesale funding, including out-of-market deposits from brokers by $158.4 million, and higher costing deposits. Total deposits were $1.28 billion at December 31, 2010, down $139.7 million, from $1.42 billion at December 31, 2009. In addition to the decline in brokered deposits, local jumbo time deposits were down $5.7 million.

Total shareholders' equity decreased by $20.1 million primarily from the net loss recorded in the first quarter of 2010. Each subsequent quarter resulted in positive earnings and increases in shareholders' equity. As a result of our losses in 2008 and 2009 and the resulting decline in our shareholders' equity, the Bank's regulatory capital ratios fell below levels required to be categorized as "well capitalized" in 2009. As of the date of this report, the Bank was categorized as "adequately capitalized" under applicable regulatory guidelines. In addition, because the Bank is subject to the Consent Order, the Bank cannot be categorized as "well-capitalized," regardless of actual capital levels. As a result, the Bank cannot accept, renew or rollover any brokered deposit unless it has applied for and been granted a waiver of this prohibition by the FDIC.

We intend to return the Bank to "well-capitalized" status and comply with the terms of the Consent Order through improved earnings, continued balance sheet management and capital raising efforts expected to be completed in 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Our cash and cash equivalents, which include federal funds sold and short-term investments, were $236.1 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $78.7 million at December 31, 2009. The $157.4 million increase was primarily the result of proceeds obtained from the sale of investment securities as described more fully in this Item 7 under the heading "Noninterest Income" as well as shrinkage in our loan portfolio. We expect to maintain higher than normal balances of short term investments until conditions improve and more attractive investment opportunities emerge.

Securities: Securities decreased $120.3 million to $9.2 million at December 31, 2010 from $129.5 million at December 31, 2009. The balance at December 30, 2010 primarily consisted of U.S. Treasury securities held for collateral purposes. As discussed above, the decrease was primarily associated with the sale of $102.3 million of securities available for sale. As

Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality: In response to the losses we have incurred and the need to comply with the requirements of the Consent Order, our Board of Directors has increased governance over the lending function and has taken tangible steps to reduce our loan portfolio, including our exposure within certain credit concentrations. More discussion regarding these steps may be found in Item 8 of this report in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. In order to comply with the requirements of the Consent Order, we expect to continue to shrink our loan portfolio in 2011, but at a slower pace than experienced in 2010.

Our total loan portfolio decreased $293.6 million to $1.22 billion at December 31, 2010 from $1.51 billion at December 31, 2009. During 2010, our commercial and industrial loans decreased $111.9 million, commercial real estate loans declined $126.8 million and consumer loans decreased $54.9 million.

Our consumer residential mortgage loan portfolio, which also includes residential construction loans made to individual homeowners, comprised approximately 11% of portfolio loans at the end of 2010 and 2009, respectively. However, a large portion of the origination volume of these types of loans is sold on the secondary market with servicing released.

While we have seen a $27.8 million decline in our consumer residential mortgage portfolio, the volume of activity in this segment remained relatively strong during 2010. Much of the decline in the residential mortgage portfolio was from customers refinancing and our subsequent sale of these loans in the secondary market. Our focus on shrinking our loan portfolio and preserving capital were the primary reasons for the reduction in these loans in 2010. Mortgage loans originated for sale were $93.8 million in 2010 compared to $160.2 million in 2009 and $81.0 million in 2008. Mortgage interest rates declined in the first half of 2009, as the government responded to weak economic conditions through efforts to stimulate the residential home market. Accordingly, we experienced a significant increase in refinancing activity. As refinancing activity slowed and underwriting in the secondary markets became more stringent, volumes generally declined over the remainder of 2009 and 2010. Rates remained low during 2010 and we saw an increase in volumes in the latter part of 2010. We have not yet been required to repurchase any loans sold, however, due to market conditions many banks are being required to repurchase loans due to actual or alleged failure to strictly conform to the purchaser's purchase criteria.

Our portfolio of other consumer loans includes loans secured by personal property and home equity fixed term and line of credit loans. These types of loans decreased to $148.1 million at December 31, 2010 from $175.2 million at December 31, 2009 and comprised approximately 12% of our portfolio loans at the end of 2010 and 2009.

The decline in the commercial loan portfolio during 2009 and 2010 reflected the continuing weak economic conditions in West Michigan and efforts to reduce our exposure within certain credit concentrations. We focused our efforts throughout 2009 and 2010 on reducing our exposure to residential land development loans which were the source of most of our loan losses since 2008, thereby diversifying our commercial loan portfolio and improving asset quality. We have made good progress with this and we expect continued shrinkage in 2011 in our real estate portfolios.

Total commercial loans, consisting of commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans, were $933.9 million at December 31, 2010 and $1.17 billion at December 31, 2009. This portfolio remains our largest loan segment and accounted for approximately 77% of the total loan portfolio at both December 31, 2010 and 2009. Our commercial loan portfolio is made up of loans to small and mid-sized business.

Our commercial and industrial loan portfolio decreased by $111.9 million to $264.7 million at December 31, 2010 and represented 28% of our commercial portfolio. The decrease was primarily from a general decline in business activity resulting from the soft economy. The commercial real estate loan portfolio declined by $126.8 million, primarily in construction and land development loans, due to charge-offs and substantial effort to reduce exposure in these segments.

|Total commercial loans              | $                 | 933,868 |                  

Of the decline in commercial real estate, $57.6 million was from loans to residential developers, the portfolio that has caused the majority of stress within our loan portfolio. Loans to residential developers involved in the development or sale of 1-4 family residential properties were approximately $95.7 million and $153.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

As we entered 2010, we were focused on efforts to continue to reduce the commercial loan portfolio in order to improve our asset quality, reduce concentrations in certain loan types, maintain or improve our capital ratios and comply with the Bank's Consent Order. Initiatives intended to achieve these results are described in more detail in Item 8 of this report in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and included the following:

| |  | Downsized the loan origination team, including termination of loan officers whose loan portfolios included a majority of our non-performing assets.                    
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | Curtailed the origination of residential land development loans, the portfolio primarily responsible for loan losses in 2008 and 2009.                                 
| |  | Established goals for the reduction of credit concentrations in the broader commercial real estate portfolio and implemented reporting requirements for accountability.
| |  | Established individual lender scorecards which are monitored on an ongoing basis. Lenders are apprised monthly of these targets/scorecards and held accountable.       

In response to the elevated levels of nonperforming assets and loans classified substandard or worse, and the need to comply with the requirements of the Consent Order, our Board of Directors took the following steps to stabilize and reduce our problem asset levels.

| |  | Realigned departments in the lending function in late 2009. The Special Asset Group responsible for the disposition of problem assets and the Credit Administration department responsible for loan policy and credit monitoring are led by recently appointed senior officers who now report directly to the Audit Committee. The Risk Management department also reports directly to the Audit Committee.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | The Risk Management department is now administratively responsible for the Loan Review function and has expanded this team with senior loan review specialists to support its goal of completing an independent review of the entire commercial loan portfolio by March 31, 2011.                                                                                                                          
| |  | Certain loan officers whose loan portfolios included a majority of the our non-performing assets were terminated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

In addition, the Special Assets Group has set specific objectives and targets for the reduction in nonperforming asset levels. To accomplish these reductions, the Special Assets Group has been pursuing various strategies. These strategies include the use of troubled debt restructures for viable businesses, attachment of additional collateral where possible, active communication and workout plans with loan customers under stress and accelerated disposition strategies for certain loan types and foreclosed assets.

We made significant progress during 2010 in these efforts as demonstrated by the decrease in nonperforming loan and delinquency levels as well as the substantial decrease in net chargeoffs incurred during 2010.

When reasonable doubt exists concerning collectability of interest or principal of one of our loans, that loan is considered impaired and 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.

Nonperforming loans as of December 31, 2010 totaled $75.4 million or 6.19% of total portfolio loans compared to $103.9 million or 6.88% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2009. Nonperforming loans at the end of 2010 and 2009 were primarily on nonaccrual and were considered to be either well collateralized or adequately reserved.

Nonperforming loans for the development or sale of 1-4 family residential properties were approximately $22.1 million or 29% of total non-performing loans at December 31, 2010 compared to $50.0 million or 49% of total non-performing loans at December 31, 2009. The remaining balance of non-performing loans at December 31, 2010 consisted of $38.1 million of commercial real estate loans secured by non-residential real estate, $12.2 million of commercial and industrial loans, and $3.0 million of consumer and residential mortgage loans.

Foreclosed assets totaled $58.0 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $37.2 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was the result of the migration of non-performing loans secured by real estate into foreclosed assets through the foreclosure process. Of the $58.0 million, there were 152 commercial real estate properties totaling $49.8 million. The remaining balance was comprised of 55 residential real estate properties totaling $8.2 million.

All properties acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure are initially transferred at their fair value less costs to sell and then evaluated for impairment after transfer using a lower of cost or market approach. Proceeds from sales of foreclosed properties were $16.0 million, $7.5 million and $3.6 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008. The higher level of success in 2010 in disposing of foreclosed properties can be attributed to the concentrated efforts of the Special Assets Group, the specific goal setting of this group and the application of additional resources during 2010 to accomplish these specific goals.

Total nonperforming assets amounted to $133.4 million or 8.45% of total assets at December 31, 2010 compared to $141.2 million or 7.71% as of December 31, 2009.

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

Loans rated a 6 or worse per our internal risk rating system are considered substandard, doubtful or loss. Additional information regarding our internal rating system is included in Item 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 4 and in this Item 7 under the heading "Allowance for Loan Losses" below. Loans classified as substandard or worse were as follows at year-end (dollars in thousands):

|Loans classified substandard or worse as a percent of total loans |      | 11.83   | %    |  

At December 31, 2010, approximately $74.8 million of the $144.0 million of loans classified as substandard or worse were on nonaccrual status while the remaining $69.2 million of these loans were on accrual status. Additional information regarding the Company's impaired loans may be found in Item 8 of this report under the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 4.

The levels of nonperforming assets and loans classified as substandard or worse remained elevated throughout 2009 and 2010 as the persistently weak economic conditions continued to impact many of our commercial loan customers. Our residential developer customers continued to be the segment impacted most severely.

The local economy remains weak as evidenced by elevated unemployment levels, though we are encouraged by recent signs of improvement in our market areas. Our levels of delinquencies and nonperforming loans decreased in the fourth quarter of 2010. As our nonperforming loans work through the collection process, we may see increases in the balance of our foreclosed assets, however, we also expect sales velocity to increase in 2011.

Allowance for Loan Losses: Determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses is highly subjective. As loan losses escalated over 2008 and 2009 and then began to slow in 2010, we have had to continually re-evaluate and refine our approach to determining the allowance for loan losses. Timely identification of risk rating changes within the commercial loan portfolio is key to our process of establishing an appropriate allowance balance. The internal risk rating system is discussed below. To accomplish effective risk rating, additional efforts took place in the latter half of 2009 and throughout 2010.

In early 2010, our Loan Review function began reporting functionally to the Audit Committee. The Risk Management department is now responsible administratively for the Loan Review function and expanded this team to include a Senior Loan Review Manager and additional resources. Under our new framework, all commercial loan risk ratings are to be independently evaluated by our internal loan review function upon origination or renewal. In addition, the majority of our commercial loans are to be independently reviewed by our internal loan review function at least annually to monitor the accuracy and completeness of the watch list and all risk ratings. Also, throughout 2010, we completed our analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis versus the quarterly approach previously used. These actions were intended to further strengthen our process for establishing, in a timely fashion, the amount of the allowance for loan losses that management believes to be appropriate in light of changes in the condition of our loan portfolio.

Our allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010 was $47.4 million compared to $54.6 million at December 31, 2009. While the allowance for loan losses declined from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, the coverage ratios have increased. Our allowance for loan losses to total portfolio loans increased from 3.62% at December 31, 2009 to 3.90% at December 31, 2010. Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased from 52.58% at December 31, 2009 to 62.93% at December 31, 2010. Generally, the primary factors supporting the decline in the balance of the allowance for loan losses during 2010 was an overall decrease in the size of the total loan portfolio and a decrease in the amount of nonperforming loans.

|Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans at year-end |             | 62.93    

Net charge-offs totaled $29.7 million or 2.18% of average loans for 2010 compared to $58.0 million or 3.54% of average loans for 2009. The majority of the net charge-offs in each year were largely associated with impaired real estate loans, which migrated to loss as persistent deterioration in the economy and resulting significant declines in the value of collateral securing these loans occurred throughout these years. The majority of the charge-offs in each year related to loans associated with residential land development. For these loans, cash flow to service the debt is primarily expected from sales of lots and properties that secure the loans. The pace of these sales declined markedly throughout 2009 and 2008. The reduction in charge-offs in 2010 over 2009 reflected improvements in the asset quality and financial condition of our borrowers as well as the effects of our efforts to improve identification of problem loans earlier and proactive measures taken to work with customers to right-size their loans, refinance them elsewhere or restructure their borrowings to fit their cash flow situations.

Our allowance for loan losses was maintained at a level considered appropriate based upon our monthly 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, formula allowance for commercial loans based upon applying our loan rating system, and general allocations based on historical trends for homogeneous loan groups with similar risk characteristics.

Specific allowances are established on individually impaired credits where we believe it is probable that a loss may be incurred. Specific allowances are determined based on discounting estimated cash flows over the life of the loan or based on the fair value of collateral supporting the loan. For commercial real estate, generally appraisals are used to estimate the fair value and determine the appropriate specific allowance. Estimated selling costs are also considered in the estimate. When it becomes apparent that liquidation of the collateral is the only source of repayment, the collateral shortfall is charged off rather than carried as a specific allowance.

The formula allowance allocated to commercial loans that are not considered to be impaired is calculated by applying historical loss factors to outstanding loans based on the internal risk rating of such loans. We use a loan rating method based upon an eight point system. Loans rated a 4 or better are considered of acceptable risk. Loans rated a 5 exhibit above normal risk to the Company and warrant a greater level of attention by management. These loans are subject to on-going review and assessment

Table of Contents

Loans are assigned a loss allocation factor for each loan class based principally on the loss history for each risk rating within each loan category. Commercial real estate loans are stratified and grouped by the type of real estate securing such loans for determining the loan classification category. For 2009 and the first three quarters of 2010 the loss history was based upon the latest 12 month period, as this was considered most representative within the then current economic cycle. However, given the significant improvement in our chargeoff history over the 12 month periods in late 2010, we determined that an 18 month historical period was more appropriate for the fourth quarter 2010 as heavy chargeoff months would have rolled off the 12 month period, and would have resulted in a substantially smaller overall allowance balance. Until overall levels of nonperforming loans decline over a sustained period, we believe such a reduction in the allowance balance would be premature. The historical loss allocation factor used is adjusted for consideration of significant qualitative factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the analysis date. The worse the risk rating assigned to a loan category, the greater the loss allocation factor that is applied.

The qualitative factors assessed and used to adjust historical loss experience reflect our best assessment of the impact economic trends, delinquency and other problem loan trends, trends in valuations supporting underlying collateral, changes in loan portfolio concentrations and changes in internal credit administration practices have on probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Qualitative adjustments are inherently subjective and there can be no assurance that these adjustments have properly identified probable losses in our loan portfolio. More information regarding the subjectivity involved in determining the estimate of the allowance for loan losses may be found in this Item 7 of the report under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates."

Groups of homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, open- and closed-end consumer loans, etc., receive general allowance allocations based on a review of loss trends by specific loan segments. These loss allocations are then adjusted based upon past due status, and consideration for general economic and business conditions, collateral values, seasoning of the portfolios and most recent loss experience for similar pools of loans.

The following table shows the allocation of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio type at the dates indicated.

All of the impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2010 were classified as substandard or worse per our internal risk rating system. The $13.8 million of residential mortgage troubled debt restructurings were associated with programs approved by the U.S. government during 2009 to minimize the number of consumer foreclosures. These loans involved the restructuring of terms on consumer mortgages to allow customers to mitigate foreclosure by meeting a lower loan payment requirement based upon their current cash flow. We have been active at utilizing these programs and working with our customers to reduce the risk of foreclosure. Additional information regarding impaired loans at December 31, 2010 and 2009 may be found in Item 8 of this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 4.

The decrease in the level of the allowance for 2010 was due to decreases in net charge-offs from commercial loans, shrinkage in the overall loan portfolio during 2010 and a reduction in the level of impaired loans and related specific reserves. The decrease of $9.8 million in reserves on commercial loans was due to a reduction of $4.4 million in specific reserves and a $5.4 million decrease in the loss allocation factor allowance on non-impaired loans. The decrease in the loss experience incurred during this period and a general improvement in the credit quality and the overall risk ratings of commercial loans is the primary reason for this decrease.

The general allowance for residential real estate and consumer loans was $5.0 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was largely related to increases in the historical and subjective qualitative allocations for loss experience with home equity loans which amounted to $125.9 million of the total $269.6 million of loans in this category. Many of these loans have sizeable first mortgages financed elsewhere. When these loans default and the underlying collateral values have decreased, our ultimate collectability becomes stressed. As a result, in 2010 we substantially increased the judgmental qualitative allocations for these loan types. Of the $47.4 million allowance at December 31, 2010, 15.5% related to specific allocations on impaired loans, 74.0% related to the formula allowance on commercial loans and 10.5% related to general allocations for homogeneous loans.

The above allocations are not intended to imply limitations on usage of the allowance. The entire allowance is available for any loan losses without regard to loan type.

More information regarding steps to address the elevated levels of substandard, impaired and nonperforming loans, which have largely resulted in the need to increase the allowance for loan losses, may be found in this Item 7 of the report under the heading "Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality" above and in Item 8 of this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 4.

Although we believe our allowance for loan losses has captured the losses that are probable in our portfolio as of December 31, 2010, there can be no assurance that all losses have been identified or that the allowance is sufficient. The additional efforts by management to accelerate the identification and disposition of problem assets discussed above, and the impact of the lasting economic slowdown may result in additional losses in 2011.

Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment totaled $57.0 million at December 31, 2010, representing a decrease of $4.0 million from $61.0 million at December 31, 2009. The decline was largely from depreciation of current facilities in excess of capital additions during 2010. Also impacting the decrease was the sale of one of our properties. This property was purchased in prior years for future branch expansion but since we have slowed our overall asset growth amidst the weak economic conditions in West Michigan, we have suspended our branch expansion initiatives. We sold this property for $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, recognizing a gain of $574,000. When economic conditions and financial performance improve, we will assess the prospects for future branch expansion.

Deposits: Total deposits decreased $139.7 million to $1.28 billion at December 31, 2010, as compared to $1.42 billion at December 31, 2009.

Because of the decline in assets during 2010, we decreased some of our higher costing deposits. The decline in deposits was primarily from a $158.4 million decrease in out-of-market deposits generated from brokers and an $5.7 million decrease in local jumbo time deposits. These reductions were partially offset by increases in other deposit type balances, particularly a $52.1 million increase in institutional money market accounts. A maturity table of deposits issued through brokers may be found in Item 8 of this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 8.

The overall declines in deposit categories noted above were partially offset by growth in balances of personal and business checking and savings accounts. These increases are particularly noteworthy considering the lack of economic expansion in Western Michigan and the intense competition for core deposit growth in our markets. We believe our growth in 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 maturing branch network and the breadth and depth of our expanding and sophisticated product line.

Noninterest bearing demand accounts comprised 20% of total deposits at December 31, 2010 compared to 16% of total deposits at December 31, 2009. Part of the reason for the increase in noninterest bearing demand accounts was associated with temporary insurance programs provided for these account types by the U.S Government. 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 and insured account types. Interest bearing demand, including money market and savings accounts, comprised 45% of total deposits at December 31, 2010 compared to 41% at the end of 2009. Time accounts as a percentage of total deposits were 35% at December 31, 2010 compared to 43% at the end of 2009.

Additional information about the restrictions on the Bank's deposit gathering activities may be found in Item 8 of this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 1 and is here incorporated by reference.

Borrowed Funds: Borrowed funds consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repo borrowings"), long-term debt associated with the issuance of trust preferred securities, subordinated debt, and federal funds purchased provided by our correspondent banks.

Borrowed funds totaled $228.2 million at December 31, 2010, including $185.3 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, $41.2 million in long-term debt associated with trust preferred securities and, as discussed below, $1.7 million in subordinated debt. Borrowed funds totaled $320.9 million at December 31, 2009 including $238.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, $40.0 million in repo borrowings, $41.2 million in long-term debt associated with trust preferred securities and $1.7 million in subordinated debt.

We have exercised our right to defer interest payments on our trust preferred securities for 20 consecutive quarters or until such earlier time as is determined by further action of the Board of Directors. During the deferral period, we may not declare or pay any dividends on our common stock or preferred stock or make any payment on any outstanding debt obligations that rank equally with or junior to the trust preferred securities. Through December 31, 2010, we have deferred interest payments for five quarters. We continue to accrue interest during the deferral period.

Borrowed funds decreased during 2010 as we were able to payoff maturing borrowings with excess liquidity derived from shrinkage in assets on our balance sheet.

In connection with capital raising activities, as more fully discussed below, we issued 11% subordinated notes in the amount of $1,650,000 during the second and third quarters of 2009. The notes are not convertible into common or preferred stock and will mature on August 31, 2017.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Holding Company:
Total shareholders' equity was $67.8 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $88.0 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease of $20.2 million was primarily due to the $17.9 million net loss we incurred in 2010, particularly the $21.1 million net loss in the first quarter of 2010.

Cash dividends of $2.9 million were declared on preferred shares during 2009. Following this, we suspended payment of cash dividends on our common and preferred stock for the remainder of 2009 and all of 2010 in an effort to preserve capital. As disclosed in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Bank is subject to the Consent Order that, among other items, prohibits the Bank from declaring or paying any cash dividend without the prior written consent of its regulators. As the payment of future cash dividends by Macatawa Bank Corporation is largely dependent upon dividends received from the Bank out of its earnings, we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the near term. We expect to reassess our ability to resume the payment of dividends on our preferred and common stock if and when the Consent Order has been lifted, current levels of cash, earnings and capital are at acceptable levels and the prospects are positive for sustained economic growth and improved performance.

Additional information on restrictions on payments of dividends by us may be found in Item 1 of this report under the headings "Regulatory Developments" and "Supervision and Regulation," and in Item 8 of this report in Notes 1 and 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and is here incorporated by reference.

We earlier increased our capital through the sale of $31.3 million of Series A Preferred Stock in the fourth quarter of 2008. During second and third quarters of 2009, we increased our capital by $5.9 million through the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock, common stock and the subordinated debt discussed above. We had no preferred or common stock issuances during 2010. For more information regarding the private offerings, see Item 8 of this report under the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 19.

The following table shows the Company's various consolidated capital ratios for 2010 and 2009.

|As of and for the year ended December 31, | 2010 |  | 2009
|----------------------------------------- | ---- |  | ----
|Average equity to average assets          | 4.1% |  | 6.2%
|Total risk-based capital                  | 9.7% |  | 9.2%
|Tier 1 risk-based capital                 | 6.9% |  | 7.1%
|Tier 1 capital to average assets          | 5.8% |  | 6.0%

Capital ratios have been positively impacted by the decline in our total assets. The extent of our operating losses, however, outpaced the decline in asset levels, thereby causing an overall decline in some of our consolidated capital ratios for 2010. Approximately $28.4 million of the $40.0 million of trust preferred securities outstanding at December 31, 2010 qualified as Tier 1 capital. The remaining $11.6 million qualified as Tier II capital, a component of total risk-based capital.

We have suspended payments of cash dividends on our preferred stock until further action by the Board of Directors. During the period that we do not declare and pay cash dividends on our preferred stock, we may not declare and pay cash dividends on our common stock.

Macatawa Bank:
The Bank is required to have and maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of at least 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 11% under the Consent Order. We are evaluating alternatives to reach and maintain the capital levels required by the Consent Order. We have not been able to meet the timeline prescribed by the Consent Order for reaching the required capital levels, however, our regulators have been apprised of our strategies and our capital plan and have allowed us to take additional time to execute our strategies.

We have been working toward executing our capital plan. More information regarding our plan can be found in Item 8 in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. In early 2011, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to sell up to $30 million of our common stock to existing shareholders in a rights offering. Despite these efforts, there can be no assurance that full compliance with the capital requirements will be achieved. See the risk factor entitled "We are not in compliance with the Consent Order. This could result in enforcement action against us."

At December 31, 2010, two of the three regulatory capital ratios for the Bank, including the tier one risk-based capital ratio and the tier one leverage capital ratio, were maintained at levels in excess of those ordinarily required to be categorized as "well

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 growing our investment and loan portfolios. Our sources of liquidity include our borrowing capacity of $62.6 million with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago's discount window, the Federal Home Loan Bank, federal funds purchased lines 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 and deposit equivalents, federal funds sold, and the various capital resources discussed above.

Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of our customers. Our customers may be either borrowers with credit needs or depositors wanting to withdraw funds. 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 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.

Prior to 2008, our balance sheet size was led by loan growth. During that time, the Bank utilized brokered deposits and other wholesale funding sources to augment its local deposits within its liquidity and interest rate risk tolerances. Limits have always been placed on brokered deposit and wholesale funding exposure and monitored monthly by the ALCO Committee. We maintained a diversified wholesale funding structure and actively manage our maturing wholesale sources to reduce the risk to liquidity shortages.

In response to the volatile conditions in the national markets since 2008, we have actively pursued initiatives to further strengthen our liquidity position. The Bank has made significant progress to intentionally reduce its reliance on non-core funding sources, including brokered deposits, and is focused on achieving a non-core funding dependency ratio of below its peer group average. During 2010, we reduced our deposits generated through brokers by $158.4 million. We also reduced other borrowed funds by $92.7 million in this same time period, thereby shrinking non-core funding by a total of $251.1 million during 2010. In addition, we sold our investment security portfolio in the second quarter of 2010 and reinvested the proceeds into short term investments. These activities resulted in an increase in our liquid investments of $160.8 million. The Bank held $173.7 million of liquid money market investments at December 31, 2010. Further declines in the loan portfolio and total assets and corresponding reductions in wholesale funding sources are planned for 2011. A maturity table of deposits issued through brokers may be found in Item 8 of this report in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 9.

In addition to strategies focused on improving the liquidity of the balance sheet, the Bank's borrowing capacity from correspondent banks was approximately $138.9 million as of December 31, 2010.

Additional information about the restrictions on the Bank's deposit gathering activities may be found in Item 1 of this report under the heading "Regulatory Developments - Deposits and Other Funding Activities," and is here incorporated by reference.

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 December 31, 2010.

In addition to normal loan funding, we also maintain liquidity to meet customer financing needs through unused lines of credit, unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The level and fluctuation of these commitments is also considered in our overall liquidity management. At December 31, 2010, we had a total of $242.4 million in unused lines of credit, $50.4 million in unfunded loan commitments and $4.9 million in standby letters of credit.

Liquidity of Holding Company: The primary sources of liquidity for Macatawa Bank Corporation are dividends from the Bank, existing cash resources and the various capital resources discussed above. 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 Macatawa Bank Corporation in any calendar year. Under the state law limitations, the Bank is restricted from paying dividends to Macatawa Bank Corporation until its deficit retained earnings has been restored. Throughout 2010, Macatawa Bank Corporation has not received dividends from the Bank and the Company has suspended payment of dividends on its common stock.

The Company has suspended payments of cash dividends on its preferred stock until further action by the Board of Directors. During the period that the Company does not declare and pay cash dividends on its preferred stock, it may not declare and pay cash dividends on its common stock.

The Company has exercised its right to defer interest payments on its trust preferred securities for 20 consecutive quarters or until such earlier time as is determined by further action of the Board of Directors. During the deferral period, the Company may not declare or pay any dividends on its common stock or preferred stock or make any payment on any outstanding debt obligations that rank equally with or junior to the trust preferred securities.

Additional information on restrictions on payments of dividends by us may be found in Item 1 of this report under the headings "Regulatory Developments" and "Supervision and Regulation," in this Item 7 under the under the heading "Capital Resources," and in Item 8 of this report in Notes 1 and 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and is here incorporated by reference.

The Company's cash balance at December 31, 2010 was $579,000. Based upon projected cash flows for 2011, the anticipated capital raise discussed above or other sources of liquidity will be necessary in order to maintain appropriate cash balances at the Company.

For information on the liquidity risks we face, see the risk factors in Item 1A of this report entitled "We are subject to liquidity risk in our operations, which could adversely affect our ability to fund various obligations," "The Bank cannot accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits without a waiver from the FDIC, which could materially adversely affect the Bank's liquidity position," and "If the condition of the Bank's loan portfolio worsens, its ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank could be adversely affected, which could materially adversely affect the Bank's and the Company's liquidity position."

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES:

To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, other real estate owned valuation, loss contingencies and income taxes are deemed critical due to the required level of management judgment and the use of estimates, making them particularly subject to change.

Our methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses and the related provision for loan losses is described above in the "Allowance for Loan Losses" discussion. This area of accounting requires significant judgment due to the number of factors which can influence the collectability of a loan. Unanticipated changes in these factors could significantly change the level of the allowance for loan losses and the related provision for loan losses. Although, based upon our internal analysis, and in our judgment, we believe that we have provided an adequate allowance for loan losses, there can be no assurance that our analysis

---



Table of Contents

Assets acquired through or instead of foreclosure, primarily other real estate owned, are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. New real estate appraisals are generally obtained at the time of foreclosure and are used to establish fair value. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Estimating the initial and ongoing fair value of these properties involves a number of factors and judgments including holding time, costs to complete, holding costs, discount rate, absorption and other factors.

Loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. This, too, is an accounting area that involves significant judgment. Although, based upon our judgment, internal analysis, and consultations with legal counsel we believe that we have properly accounted for loss contingencies, future changes in the status of such contingencies could result in a significant change in the level of contingent liabilities and a related impact to operating earnings.

Our accounting for income taxes involves the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities primarily associated with differences in the timing of the recognition of revenues and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. At December 31, 2010, we had gross deferred tax assets of $28.4 million, gross deferred tax liabilities of $2.8 million and a valuation allowance of $25.6 million for the entire amount of net deferred tax assets. 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. Based upon a number of factors, including our net operating loss in recent years and the challenging environment currently confronting banks that could negatively impact future operating results, we concluded that we needed to continue to maintain a valuation allowance during 2010 for our net deferred tax assets. Changes in tax laws, changes in tax rates, changes in ownership and our future level of earnings can impact the ultimate realization of our net deferred tax asset as well as the valuation allowance that we established.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Macatawa Bank Corporation ("the Company") as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.   These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company incurred significant net losses in 2009, primarily from higher provisions for loan losses and expenses associated with the administration and disposition of non-performing assets at its wholly owned bank subsidiary (Macatawa Bank or "the Bank").   These losses have caused the Bank's regulatory capital to fall from well capitalized to adequately capitalized, which in turn limits its ability to use certain funding sources, such as brokered deposits.  As discussed in Notes 1 and 2, the Bank is under a regulatory Consent Order that requires among other items, higher levels of regulatory capital.  At December 31, 2009 the Bank was below the stated regulatory capital levels and is not expected to be in compliance with the regulatory capital requirements of the Consent Order within the timeframe established under the Consent Order.  Failure to reduce the level of non-performing assets, higher costs to administer and dispose of those assets and comply with the Consent Order, limitations on funding sources, and failure to comply with higher regulatory capital requirements may result in additional enforcement actions.  These events raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans are discussed further in Note 2.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MACATAWA BANK CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 and 2009

---

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Macatawa Bank Corporation ("Macatawa" or the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Macatawa Bank (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Macatawa Bank is a Michigan chartered bank with depository accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank operates 26 full service branch offices providing a full range of commercial and consumer banking and trust services in Kent County, Ottawa County, and northern Allegan County, Michigan.

The Company owns all of the common securities of Macatawa Statutory Trust I and Macatawa Statutory Trust II. These are grantor trusts that issued trust preferred securities and are discussed in a separate note. Under generally accepted accounting principles, these trusts are not consolidated into the financial statements of the Company.

Regulatory Developments:

Consent Order with Macatawa Bank and its Regulators

On February 22, 2010, Macatawa Bank Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiary, Macatawa Bank, entered into a Consent Order with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation ("OFIR"), the primary banking regulators of the Bank. The Bank agreed to the terms of the negotiated Consent Order without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank. The Consent Order will remain in effect and enforceable until it is modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and the OFIR. The Consent Order, among other requirements, includes the following:

| |  | The Consent Order requires the Bank, within 90 days, to have and maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of at least 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 11%. The Bank has not yet met these capital requirements. See further discussion below and in Note 2.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
| |  | The Consent Order requires the Bank to charge off all assets or portions of assets classified "Loss" in the most recent FDIC Report of Examination ("ROE") that have not been previously collected or charged off. This was accomplished subsequent to the examination in October, 2009.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
| |  | The Consent Order prohibits the Bank from extending additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who is already obligated to the Bank on any loan that has been charged off by the Bank, so long as the amount charged off remains uncollected. In addition, the Consent Order prohibits the Bank from extending any additional credit to a borrower who has an uncollected loan that has been classified "Substandard" or "Doubtful", unless the Bank's Board of Directors has determined that extending additional credit to the borrower is in the best interest of the Bank. The Bank has adhered with this requirement.
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
| |  | The Consent Order requires the Board of Directors of the Bank upon the issuance of the order and before each quarterly Report of Condition and Income to review the adequacy of the Bank's Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("ALLL") and make adjustments needed to provide for an adequate ALLL. The Board has adhered with this requirement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
| |  | While the Consent Order is in effect, the Bank may not declare or pay any cash dividend without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the OFIR. The Bank did not pay dividends to the Company during 2009 or 2010. In previous periods, dividends from the Bank to the Company were primarily utilized by the Company to pay dividends on its common and preferred stock and interest on its trust preferred securities. The Company has suspended payment of dividends on common and preferred stock and has deferred interest payments on trust preferred securities.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The Consent Order also requires the Bank and its Board of Directors to adopt and implement a variety of policies, plans, procedures and practices intended to aid in the safe and sound conduct of the Bank's business. Throughout 2010, the Bank has addressed or taken steps to address the requirements of the Consent Order.

Requirements of the Consent Order already addressed, or where steps have been taken to address, include implementing new lending and compliance policies and new problem loan identification and resolution plans, strengthening Audit Committee oversight, creating a Compliance Committee of the Board, and developing a comprehensive, board-approved action plan for Macatawa Bank to address and monitor each requirement of the Consent Order.

The Company is implementing a capital plan with various alternatives to reach and maintain the capital levels required by the Consent Order in a timely fashion. While the Company was not able to meet the timeline prescribed by the Consent Order for reaching the required capital levels, tangible progress has been made, including the filing of a registration statement in February 2011 for the issuance of common stock. Achievement of the required capital levels could be impacted, positively or negatively, as a result of certain uncertainties, including, but not limited to, earnings levels, changing economic conditions, asset quality and property values.

Written Agreement with Macatawa and its Regulator

The Company has formally entered into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago ("FRB"). The Written Agreement became effective on July 29, 2010, when it was executed and published by the FRB, and was assigned an effective date of July 23, 2010. Among other things, the Written Agreement provides that: (i) the Company must take appropriate steps to fully utilize its financial and managerial resources to serve as a source of strength to Macatawa Bank; (ii) the Company may not declare or pay any dividends without prior FRB approval; (iii) the Company may not take dividends or any other payment representing a reduction in capital from Macatawa Bank without prior FRB approval; (iv) the Company may not make any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior FRB approval; (v) the Company may not incur, increase or guarantee any debt without prior FRB approval; (vi) the Company may not purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior FRB approval; (vii) the Company must submit a written capital plan to the FRB within 60 days of the Written Agreement; and (viii) the Company may not appoint any new director or senior executive officer, or change the responsibilities of any senior executive officer so that the officer would assume a different senior executive officer position, without prior regulatory approval. The Company requested and received approval from the FRB to make its third and fourth quarter interest payments on its $1.65 million in outstanding subordinated debt. Each quarter the Company requests approval from the FRB to make the next quarter's interest payment on its subordinated debt and is continuing to accrue the interest amounts due. The Company submitted a written capital plan to the FRB for approval in November 2010, but that plan has not yet been approved.

Deposit Gathering Activities

During 2009 the Bank's regulatory capital ratios fell below levels required to be categorized as "well capitalized" under applicable regulatory guidelines. In addition, because the Bank is subject to the Consent Order, the Bank cannot be categorized as "well-capitalized," regardless of actual capital levels. As a result, the Bank is subject to the following restrictions regarding its deposit gathering activities:

| |  | Effective January 1, 2010, the interest rate paid for deposits by institutions that are categorized as less than "well capitalized" is limited to 75 basis points above the national rate for similar products unless the institution can support to the FDIC that prevailing rates in its market area exceed the national average. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company received notification from the FDIC that the prevailing rates in our market area exceeded the national average. Accordingly, the interest rates paid for deposits by the Bank are limited to 75 basis points above the average rate for similar products within our market area. Although this may impact our ability to compete for more rate sensitive deposits, we expect to continue to reduce our need to utilize rate sensitive deposits.

| |  | The Bank cannot accept, renew or rollover any brokered deposit unless it has applied for and been granted a waiver of this prohibition by the FDIC. The Bank has not accepted or renewed brokered deposits since November of 2008. A maturity table of deposits issued through brokers is included in Note 9. The Bank expects it will be able to fund maturing brokered deposits under its current liquidity contingency program.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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, fair value of intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, the status of contingencies, fair value of other real estate owned and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Loans are granted to, and deposits are obtained from, customers primarily in the western Michigan area as described above. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral, including residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial assets and consumer assets. Commercial real estate loans are the largest concentration, comprising 55% of total loans. Commercial and industrial loans total 22%, while residential real estate and consumer loans make up the remaining 23%. Other financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions.

Cash Flow Reporting: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits with other financial institutions and short-term securities (securities with maturities equal to or less than 90 days and federal funds sold). Cash flows are reported net for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing time deposits with other financial institutions and short-term borrowings with maturities of 90 days or less.

Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities available for sale consist of those securities which might be sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risks, yield and availability of alternative investments, liquidity needs or other factors. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at their fair value and the related unrealized holding gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level yield method without anticipating prepayments. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. Investment securities classified as available for sale or held-to-maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under ASC Topic 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Instruments.

In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time. Management has determined that no OTTI charges were necessary during 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment. Because this stock is viewed as a long term investment, impairment is based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 these loans had a net unrealized gain of $40,163 and $10,170 which are reflected in their carrying value. Changes in fair value of loans held for sale are included in net gains on mortgage loans. Loans are sold servicing released; therefore no mortgage servicing right assets are established.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs and an allowance for loan losses.

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income over the respective term of the loan using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries, and decreased by charge-offs of loans. Management estimates the allowance for loan losses balance believed to be adequate based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, past loan loss experience, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current qualitative environmental factors. The Company maintains a loss migration analysis that tracks loan losses and recoveries based on loan class as well as the loan risk grade assignment for commercial loans. At December 31, 2010, 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 and consumer loan portfolios. These historical loss percentages are adjusted (both upwards and downwards) for certain qualitative environmental factors, including economic trends, credit quality trends, valuation trends, concentration risk, quality of loan review, changes in personnel, external factors and other considerations.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is believed to be probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Commercial and commercial real estate loans with relationship balances exceeding $500,000 and an internal risk grading of 6 or worse are evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing interest rate or at the fair value of collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled debt restructurings are also considered impaired with impairment generally measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's effective rate at inception or using the fair value of collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure, primarily other real estate owned, are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed unless they add value to the property.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years. Maintenance, repairs and minor alterations are charged to current operations as expenditures occur and major improvements are capitalized.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI): The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at its currently realizable cash surrender value. Changes in cash surrender value are recorded in other income.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets: Goodwill resulting from business combinations represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The Company had no goodwill at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Acquired intangible assets consist of core deposit and customer relationship intangible assets arising from acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which range from ten to sixteen years.

Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives: Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. At times, the Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. During 2010, the Company did not use forward commitments, but instead entered into best efforts agreements. Changes in the fair values of these interest rate lock and forward commitment derivatives are included in net gains on mortgage loans. The net fair value of mortgage banking derivatives was approximately ($126,674) and ($9,000) at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All outstanding unvested restricted stock awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options and the conversion of the Company's convertible preferred stock.

Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $2,386,000 at December 31, 2010 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.

Stock Splits and Dividends: Stock dividends in excess of 20% are reported by transferring the par value of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock. Stock dividends for 20% or less are reported by transferring the fair value, as of the ex-dividend date, of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital. Fractional share amounts are paid in cash with a reduction in retained earnings. All share and per share amounts are retroactively adjusted for stock splits and dividends.

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations and the Consent Order require maintaining certain capital levels and impose limitations on dividends paid by the Bank to the Company and by the Company to shareholders. This is discussed further in this Note 1 under "Regulatory Developments" above and elsewhere in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed separately. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The fair value estimates of existing on-and off-balance sheet financial instruments do not include the value of anticipated future business or the values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments.

Segment Reporting: The Company, through the branch network of the Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies in western Michigan. These services include demand, time and savings deposits; lending; ATM and debit card processing; cash management; and trust and brokerage services. While the Company's management team monitors the revenue streams of the various Company products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment - commercial banking.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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

Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

In July 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The ASU amends FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM Topic 310, Receivables, to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate, by portfolio segment or class of financing receivable, certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010 and have been added to Note 4. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010.

In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2009-16, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This standard amends the guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, where entities have continued exposure to risks related to transferred financial assets. This standard also expands the disclosure requirements for such transactions. It is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2010 had no impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Standards:

The FASB has issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805, Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosure about Fair Value Measurements. This standard requires new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 recurring fair value measurements. The standard also requires disclosure of activities (i.e., on a gross basis), including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value recurring measurements. The standard clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures regarding Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and clarification of existing disclosures are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosures about the reconciliation of information in Level 3 recurring fair value measurements are required for periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Adoption of the applicable portions of this standard on January 1, 2010 did not have a significant impact on our quarterly disclosures. For those additional disclosures required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, we anticipate first including those disclosures in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2011.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-A. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted.

NOTE 2 - PLANS TO ADDRESS RECENT LOSSES

The Company recorded net losses to common shareholders of $66.5 million in 2009 and $39.7 million in 2008. These results were largely due to losses from the loan portfolio. During 2009 and 2008 the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $74.3 million and $37.4 million, respectively. Total nonperforming assets amounted to $141.2 million at December 31, 2009 compared to $112.1 million as of December 31, 2008. The levels of nonperforming assets remained elevated throughout 2009 as the persistently weak economic conditions continued to impact many of the Company's commercial loan customers. The Company's residential developer customers continued to be the segment impacted most severely. The local economy remains weak as evidenced by elevated unemployment levels.

Other items impacting the 2009 and 2008 results included an $18.0 million charge in 2009 to establish a valuation allowance on the entire balance of the Company's deferred tax assets and a $27.6 million charge in 2008 to record goodwill impairment, after which no goodwill remained on the Company's balance sheet.

As a result of losses during 2009 and 2008 and the level of non-performing assets, the Board of Directors of the Company has significantly changed the strategic direction and focus of the Bank to improve its internal operations and to work out of its problem loans and assets. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Board of Directors elected a new Chairman of the Board. The Company has since worked closely with its regulators at the FRB and the Bank's regulators at the FDIC and OFIR to put in place improved controls and procedures. The Board has implemented additional corporate governance practices and disciplined business and banking principles, including additional Board oversight, specific plans to reduce substandard assets and credit concentrations, more conservative lending principles that comply with regulatory standards, and appointed experienced and disciplined lending and compliance personnel. The focus of our management team turned from growth in our business to executing these disciplined business and banking procedures and policies designed to limit future losses, preserve capital and improve operational efficiencies.

Meaningful progress was made in 2010 with the Company ending the year with three consecutive profitable quarters. Net loss for the year was $17.9 million compared to $66.5 million in 2009. This improvement was driven by decreases in net loan charge-offs and provision for loan losses. For 2010, net charge-offs were $29.7 million, down from $58.0 million in 2009. The resulting provision for loan losses was down to $22.5 million in 2010 compared to $74.3 million in 2009.

As discussed in Note 1, On February 22, 2010 Macatawa Bank entered into a Consent Order with the FDIC and OFIR. The Consent Order covers various aspects of the Bank's financial condition and performance; loan administration; and capital planning as outlined in Note 1. The Bank has already addressed or taken steps to address the requirements of the Consent Order and manages its comprehensive plan to address all of the requirements of the Consent Order. We believe we have complied with all the provisions of the Consent Order, except with respect to the capital requirements.

The Consent Order required the Bank, within 90 days, to have and maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of at least 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 11%. At December 31, 2010, the Bank's Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 7.1% and the Total Risk Based Ratio was 9.7%, which would qualify the Bank as "adequately capitalized" under the regulatory capital standards absent the Consent Order. The Bank would need a capital injection of approximately $13.9 million as of December 31, 2010 in order to comply with the Tier 1 Ratio requirement and would need a capital injection of approximately $17.2 million in order to comply with the Total Risk Based Ratio requirement of the Consent Order.

The Company has developed a capital plan including evaluation of alternatives to reach and maintain the capital levels required by the Consent Order. Achievement of these capital levels could be impacted, positively or negatively, by certain uncertainties, including, but not limited to, earnings levels, changing economic conditions, asset quality, property values and the receptiveness of capital markets to new capital offerings of Macatawa.

Strategies to increase the Bank's regulatory capital ratios in order to comply with the capital requirements of the Consent Order include reducing operating costs, shrinking assets of the Bank without weakening its liquidity position, preserving capital through suspension of dividends, and raising additional capital. Following is more information regarding these strategies:

| |  | Earnings improvements.Steps to reduce expenses have already resulted in the removal of approximately $9 million from the Bank's annualized operating costs. The reduction in wholesale funding has improved the Bank's net interest margin in 2010, improving its capacity to generate net interest income and enhancing franchise value. The Company was profitable in the last three quarters of 2010.                                                                                                                                                                             
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
| |  | Suspension of dividends: The Bank did not pay dividends to the Company during 2009 and 2010. In previous periods, dividends from the Bank to the Company were primarily utilized by the Company to pay dividends on its common and preferred stock and interest on its trust preferred securities. To preserve Bank regulatory capital, the Company has suspended payment of dividends on common and preferred stock and has deferred interest payments on trust preferred securities. The Company has the option to defer these interest payments for up to 20 consecutive quarters.

NOTE 2 - PLANS TO ADDRESS RECENT LOSSES (Continued)

| |  | Asset Reduction.Total assets were reduced by $319.2 million to $1.83 billion at December 31, 2009, from $2.15 billion at December 31, 2008. In 2010, total assets declined an additional $251.9 million to $1.58 billion. The decrease in total assets was largely from a reduction of $263.2 million in 2009 and $293.6 million in 2010 in the Company's loan portfolio from efforts to reduce concentration in certain loan types. A $57.0 million decline in investment securities in 2009 and $120.3 million in 2010 also contributed to the decline in total assets. We implemented a concentration reduction plan to measure and monitor concentrations of credit on an ongoing basis. Execution of that plan included curtailing the origination of residential land development loans, the portfolio primarily responsible for loan losses since 2008. Increased emphasis has been placed on obtaining updated property valuations and "right- sizing" of loan balances either through pay downs or by obtaining additional collateral in order to protect the Bank.

NOTE 4 - 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, lender identification or the loan review process), an Administrative Loan Review ("ALR") is generated by credit and the lender. All watch credits have an ALR completed monthly which analyzes the collateral position and cash flow of the borrower and its guarantors. The lender is required to complete both a short term and long term plan to rehabilitate or exit the credit and to give monthly comments on the progress to these plans. Management meets quarterly with lenders 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 - Borrowings 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- Borrowings 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 - Average borrowings 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- This is 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- Borrowings 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 - Loan are considered uncollectible and of little or no value as a bank asset.

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. 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.

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).

Loans Held for Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is based upon binding quotes from 3rd party investors (Level 2 inputs).

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE (Continued)

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, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, 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 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.

NOTE 7 - PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - NET

Year-end premises and equipment were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Approximately $192,657,000 and $356,380,000 in certificates of deposit were in denominations of $100,000 or more at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Brokered deposits totaled approximately $48,172,000 and $206,525,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Since the Bank was not categorized as "well capitalized" at December 31, 2010 and 2009, regulatory waiver is required to accept, renew or rollover brokered deposits. The Bank has not issued brokered deposits since November of 2008. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, brokered deposits had interest rates ranging from 3.75% to 4.55% and 3.50% to 4.55%, respectively. At December 31, 2010, maturities of brokered deposits were as follows (in thousands):

Each advance is subject to a prepayment penalty if paid prior to its maturity date. Fixed rate advances are payable at maturity. Amortizable mortgage advances are fixed rate advances with scheduled repayments based upon amortization to maturity. Putable advances are fixed rate advances that can be changed to a variable rate at the option of the FHLB. If the FHLB exercises that option, these advances may be repaid without penalty. These advances were collateralized by residential and commercial real estate loans totaling $420,479,000 and $607,371,000 under a specific loan collateral arrangement at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Scheduled repayments of FHLB advances as of December 31, 2010 were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 9 - OTHER BORROWED FUNDS (Continued)

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repo borrowings") are financing arrangements secured by U.S. federal agency securities. These borrowings were collateralized by securities with a carrying amount of approximately $44,108,000 at December 31, 2009. At maturity, the securities underlying the arrangements are returned to the Company. The Company had no repo borrowings at December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2009, repo borrowings were as follows (dollars in thousands):

|Principal Terms       | Amount  |  | Range of Maturities         | Weighted AverageInterest Rate | 
|--------------------- | ------- |  | --------------------------- | ----------------------------- | 
|December 31, 2009     |         |  |                             |                               | 
|Fixed rate borrowings | $40,000 |  | March 2010 to November 2010 | 4.62%                         | 

Federal Reserve Bank borrowings

The Company has a financing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank. There were no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the Company had approximately $46 million in unused borrowing capacity based on commercial and mortgage loans pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank totaling $62.6 million at December 31, 2010.

NOTE 10 - LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has issued $40.0 million of pooled trust preferred securities ("Preferred Securities") through its wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts. Macatawa Statutory Trust I issued $619,000 of common securities to the Company and $20.0 million of Preferred Securities on July 15, 2003 at a floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.05%. Macatawa Statutory Trust II issued $619,000 of common securities and $20.0 million of Preferred Securities on March 18, 2004 at a floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.75%.

The Company issued subordinated debentures ("Debentures") to each trust in exchange for ownership of all of the common securities of each trust and the $41,238,000 in proceeds of the offerings, which Debentures represent the sole asset of each trust. The Preferred Securities represent an interest in the Company's Debentures, which have terms that are similar to the Preferred Securities. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of each trust (variable interest entity), therefore each trust is not consolidated in the Company's financial statements, but rather the Debentures are shown as a liability.

As provided in each trust's indenture, the Preferred Securities accrue and pay distributions quarterly at a specified rate and are subject to mandatory redemption upon the maturity of the Debentures, 30 years from the date of issuance, or upon earlier redemption. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part beginning five years from the date of issuance at a redemption price specified in each trust's indenture. The Debentures are also redeemable in whole or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of specific events defined within the trust indenture.

The Company has the option to defer interest payments on the Debentures from time to time for up to twenty consecutive quarterly payments, although interest continues to accrue on the outstanding balance. On December 4, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved that the Company will exercise its right to defer interest payments on the Debentures for each trust for twenty consecutive quarterly periods or until such earlier time as is determined by further action of the Board of Directors. The Company is not in default with respect to each trust's indenture and the deferral of interest does not constitute an event of default under the indentures. Upon expiration of the deferral, all accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable. During the deferral period, the Company may not declare or pay any dividends on the Company's common stock or preferred stock or make any payment on any outstanding debt obligations that rank equally with or junior to the Debentures. There was approximately $1.7 million of accrued and unpaid interest that was included in accrued expenses and other liabilities at December 31, 2010.

NOTE 10 - LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Debentures totaling $41,238,000 are reported in liabilities as long-term debt, and the common securities of $1,238,000 and unamortized debt issuance costs are included in other assets. The Preferred Securities may be included in Tier I capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. At December 31, 2010, approximately $22.4 million of Preferred Securities issued qualified as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes. At December 31, 2009, approximately $28.4 million of Preferred Securities issued qualified as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

NOTE 11 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Deposits from principal officers, directors, and their affiliates at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $145.7 million and $91.4 million, respectively. The majority of the deposit balances for each year are associated with institutional accounts of affiliated organizations of one of the Company's directors.

NOTE 12 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has stock-based compensation plans for its employees (the Employees' Plans) and directors (the Directors' Plans). The Employees' Plans permit the grant of stock options or the issuance of restricted stock for up to 1,917,210 shares of common stock. The Directors' Plans permit the grant of stock options or the issuance of restricted stock for up to 473,278 shares of common stock. There were 560,284 shares under the Employees' Plans and 165,375 shares under the Directors' Plans available for future issuance as of December 31, 2010. The Company issues new shares under its stock-based compensation plans from its authorized but unissued shares.

Stock Options

Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of grant. Option awards have vesting periods ranging from one to three years and have ten year contractual terms.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company's common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The Company expects that all options granted will vest and become exercisable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

There were no options granted during 2010 and 2009.

The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan which covers substantially all employees. Employees may elect to contribute to the plan up to the maximum percentage of compensation and dollar amount subject to statutory limitations. During 2009, the Company made matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 3% of employee contributions and 50% of employee contributions in excess of 3%, up to 6%. The Company's contributions in 2009 were approximately $719,000. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company temporarily suspended the matching contribution.

The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Purchase Plan which covers substantially all employees.

Stock options for 722,564 and 924,937 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for 2010 and 2009, respectively, because they were antidilutive. Potential common shares associated with the convertible preferred stock were excluded from dilutive potential common shares for 2010 and 2009 as they were antidilutive. Potential common shares associated with stock warrants issued in 2009 were excluded from dilutive potential common shares for 2010 and 2009 as they were antidilutive.

The realization of deferred tax assets (net of a recorded valuation allowance) is largely dependent upon future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the ability to carryback losses to available tax years. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence, including taxable income in carry-back years, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies.

At December 31, 2009, the need for a valuation allowance was based primarily on the Company's net operating loss for 2009 and 2008, and the challenging environment currently confronting banks that could impact future operating results. As a result, an $18.0 million valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was charged to federal income tax expense in 2009. As a result of losses incurred in 2010, the Company increased the valuation allowance to $25.6 million at December 31, 2010. The valuation allowance may be reversed to income in future periods to the extent that the related deferred tax assets are realized or the valuation allowance is no longer required. If the Company returns to consistent, sustained profitability, the need for the valuation allowance would diminish.

The net deferred tax asset recorded included the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 15 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES(Continued)

At December 31, 2010, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $6.7 million that expire in 2030.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2010 or 2009 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 2007.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

Some financial instruments are used to meet customer financing needs and to reduce exposure to interest rate changes. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These involve, to varying degrees, credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount reported in the financial statements.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment, and generally have fixed expiration dates. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee a customer's performance to a third party. Exposure to credit loss if the other party does not perform is represented by the contractual amount for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Collateral or other security is normally not obtained for these financial instruments prior to their use, and many of the commitments are expected to expire without being used.

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

|                          | 2010 |         | 2009 |  
|------------------------- | ---- | ------- | ---- | -
|Commitments to make loans | $    | 50,377  |      | $
|Letters of credit         |      | 4,873   |      |  
|Unused lines of credit    |      | 242,448 |      |  

The notional amount of commitments to fund mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market was approximately $12.1 million at December 31, 2010. The notional amount of commitments to fund mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans was approximately $12.8 million at December 31, 2009.

At year-end 2010, approximately 16% 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 was at variable rates tied to prime and generally expire within 30 days. The majority of the unused lines of credit were at variable rates tied to prime.

NOTE 17 - CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries periodically become defendants in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.

As previously disclosed, the Company and Macatawa Bank entered into a Settlement and Release and Stock and Warrant Issuance Agreement and amendments (as amended, the "Settlement Agreement") in connection with the legal proceedings related to Trade Partners, Inc. The settlement with respect to approximately 91% of the number of plaintiffs and the aggregate amount of their claims was completed and became effective on June 17, 2009. On July 27, 2009, the Company completed a second settlement with additional plaintiffs representing approximately 8.7% of the total number of original plaintiffs.

Including both the June 17 and July 27 settlements, the Company paid a total of $5.91 million for the cash portion of the settlement and issued warrants to purchase a total of 1,478,811 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share.

NOTE 17 - CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

The Company's insurers contributed $950,000 to the $5.91 million cash portion of the settlement. Both the June 17 and July 27 settlements were expensed in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and reduced the Company's net income by $5.5 million.

The fair value of the warrants was $806,000 and recorded in Common Stock based upon $0.54 per warrant as determined using a Black-Scholes model. The assumptions used in the determination of fair value included a risk-free interest rate of 2.22%, an expected life of four years, expected stock price volatility of 56.00% and expected dividend yield of 1.00%.

Following the June 17 and July 27 settlements, all plaintiffs have either settled with the Company or have been dismissed.

The Settlement Agreement did not contain any admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Company or Macatawa Bank. The offer to settle was made in an attempt to avoid exposure to future litigation and to avoid the cost of litigation.

As of the date hereof, except as disclosed above, there were no material pending legal proceedings, other than routine litigation incidental to the business of banking to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party of or which any of our properties are the subject.

NOTE 18 - 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 would result in regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If the Bank is only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits; and if the Bank is undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.

Approximately $22.4 million and $28.4 of trust preferred securities outstanding at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, qualified as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

The Bank was categorized as "adequately capitalized" at December 31, 2010 and 2009. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2010 that management believes have changed its category. The Bank's total regulatory capital was $4.2 million below the level required to be categorized as "well capitalized" at December 31, 2010. However, because the Bank is subject to the Consent Order, the Bank cannot be categorized as "well capitalized" regardless of actual capital levels.

As part of the Consent Order, the Bank was required, within 90 days from the date of the Consent order, to have and maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of at least 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 11%. The Bank would need a capital injection of approximately $13.9 million as of December 31, 2010 in order to comply with the Tier 1 Ratio requirement and would need a capital injection of approximately $17.2 million in order to comply with the Total Risk Based Ratio requirement of the Consent Order. The ability of the Bank to achieve these requirements is largely dependent on the success of capital raising initiatives in process by the Company as discussed previously. The Consent Order also prohibits the Bank from declaring or paying any cash dividend without the prior written consent of its regulators. The payment of future cash dividends by the Company is largely dependent upon dividends received from the Bank out of its earnings. Under Michigan law, the Bank is also restricted from paying dividends to the Company until its deficit retained earnings has been restored. The Bank had a retained deficit of approximately $39.8 million at December 31, 2010.

Issuance of Capital

A summary of the capital instruments issued to accredited investors during recent years is as follows:

Convertible Preferred Stock

In 2008, the Company completed a private offering of 31,290 shares of 12.0% Series A Non-cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, resulting in an aggregate liquidation preference of $31.3 million. Proceeds of $30.6 million from issuance were net of $686,000 of costs.

Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting and may be convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into 111.73 shares of common stock of the Company, which represents an approximate initial conversion price of $8.95 per share of common stock. On or after the third anniversary of the issue date, at the option of the Company, the Series A Preferred Stock will be subject to mandatory conversion into common stock at the prevailing conversion rate, if the closing price of the Company's common stock exceeds 130% of the then applicable conversion price for 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period and the Company has paid full dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for four consecutive quarters. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustments in certain circumstances.

In 2009, the Company issued 2,600 shares of 9.0% Series B Non-cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred Stock) with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, resulting in an aggregate liquidation preference of $2.6 million. Proceeds of $2.6 million from issuance were net of $40,000 of costs.

Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting and may be convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into 166.67 shares of common stock of the Company, which represents an approximate initial conversion price of $6.00 per share of common stock. On or after the third anniversary of the issue date, at the option of the Company, the Series B Preferred Stock will be subject to mandatory conversion into common stock at the prevailing conversion rate, if the closing price of the Company's common stock exceeds 120% of the then applicable conversion price for 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period and the Company has paid full dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for four consecutive quarters. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. The Series B Preferred Stock is subordinate to the Series A Preferred Stock. If all of the outstanding shares of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock were converted into common stock, the shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock would convert into a total of approximately 3.9 million shares of common stock at December 31, 2010.

On December 4, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved that it will not declare or pay any cash dividends on the Series A or Series B Preferred Stock until further action by the Board of Directors. During the period that the Company does not declare and pay cash dividends on its Series A or Series B Preferred Stock, it may not declare or pay any cash dividends on the Company's common stock.

Both the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock qualified as Tier I capital for the Company.

Common Stock

In 2009, the Company issued 538,386 shares of common stock to accredited investors as part of the private offering. The shares were issued at an average price of $3.06 per share resulting in total proceeds of $1.7 million.

|(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2010. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as the Company's are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that the Company adopts outweigh their costs. Our management, including our CEO and CFO, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, have concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.

|(b) | Changes in Internal Controls.
|--- | -----------------------------

The Company's management is committed to continuing efforts to improve the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls, and internal control over financial reporting, including taking all steps believed necessary to remediate the material weakness discussed below under "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting." During the year ended December 31, 2010, we have made the following changes in our internal control over financial reporting that will materially affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting:

| |  | Timely identification of grade changes within the commercial loan portfolio is key to our process of establishing an appropriate allowance balance. To accomplish effective risk rating, additional efforts took place in the latter half of 2009. Our Special Assets Group reviewed all credits risk rated a 5 or worse under our risk rating system. Accelerated downgrading of credits took place as a result of this review. Although we were comfortable with risk rating results as of December 31, 2009, additional measures were being taken in 2010 to further enhance the risk rating system.

| |   | The Loan Review function traditionally reported administratively through Credit Administration and functionally to the Board Loan Committee. Loan Review now reports functionally to the Audit Committee. The Risk Management department is now responsible administratively for the Loan Review function and has expanded the department to include a Senior Loan Review Manager and additional resources. Under our new framework, all commercial loan risk ratings are required to be independently evaluated by our internal loan review function upon origination or renewal. In addition, commercial loans are required to be independently reviewed by our internal loan review function at least annually to monitor the accuracy and completeness of the watch list and all risk ratings.

| |   | During 2010 the Loan Review department has completed its quarterly independent reviews of the risk rating for each loan selected for review, and issued its report to the Audit Committee. The Loan Review department remains focused on completing its independent review of all commercial loan risk ratings.

| |   | At least quarterly, Loan Review issues a report to the Audit Committee which outlines the loans that were evaluated during that period. The report indicates the files reviewed and outlines any grade changes that were recommended or any credits that could not be graded due to missing information. The Loan Review department has implemented a monthly reporting process to the Audit Committee and management regarding the status of loans that could not be graded and the resulting grade change once documentation is obtained. The Loan Review report also summarizes any credit file or documentation exceptions found.

| |  | It is the intent of the Loan Review department to finalize internal loan review reports in a timely manner. The second, third and fourth quarter loan review reports were completed, and reviewed and considered by management involved in the analysis of the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010. As part of the new monthly analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management involved in the allowance for loan losses analysis further communicated with other departments involved in managing credit quality, including Loan Review, to determine if there were any further trends regarding credit quality that should be included in its assessment of qualitative factors utilized in the allowance for loan loss analysis. These considerations were considered in the qualitative factor adjustments used in the allowance for loan losses analysis as of December 31, 2010 and believed to be appropriate. These additional controls are completed on at least a quarterly basis and considered in the qualitative factor adjustments used in the allowance for loan losses analysis.

|(c) | Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control system was designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements and related notes for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

An internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives have been met. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be deficient and breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.

During the course of the audit procedures for 2009, our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2009, Crowe Horwath LLP, identified certain deficiencies in the Company's credit administration practices and allowance for loan losses process. Crowe Horwath LLP concluded that these control deficiencies constituted a "material weakness" in internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2009. Our CEO and CFO also concluded that the control deficiencies constituted a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2009. We concluded that solely as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on those criteria. We have since addressed the control deficiencies that constituted a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 as described above under "Changes in Internal Controls."

Company management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on those criteria.

BDO USA LLP, an independent registered certified public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included herein, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, as stated in their report below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Macatawa Bank Corporation
Holland, Michigan

We have audited Macatawa Bank Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Macatawa Bank Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Macatawa Bank Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Macatawa Bank Corporation as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and our report dated February 24, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
