ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 15, 2007, Macatawa Bank Corporation issued a press release announcing revised results for the fourth quarter and for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net income for the fourth quarter was reduced by $3.1 million as a result of an increase in the loan loss provision related to loans to one commercial borrower which have become impaired as described in Item 2.06 below. This additional loan loss provision and its effects are the only changes from the previously released results. A copy of the press release, including revised financial tables, is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Form 8-K and the attached Exhibit shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

ITEM 2.06 Material Impairments.

On March 15, 2007, management of Macatawa Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Macatawa Bank Corporation, authorized an additional loan loss provision of $4.7 million. The provision relates to an aggregate principal balance of approximately $5.2 million of loans to one commercial borrower which have become impaired.

This impairment was discovered through internal investigations relating to the collateral and the borrower relationship. The Bank’s internal investigation suggests that the borrower may have made misrepresentations to the Bank regarding the loan collateral and its financial condition.

The additional loan loss provision of $4.7 million will be taken in the fourth quarter of 2006. The after tax impact on net income is approximately $3.1 million, or approximately $0.18 per share. After the impairment charge, the Bank will remain to be “well capitalized” under regulatory capital requirements.
