NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (“ChoiceOne”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments ordinary in nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the consolidated loan portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, assessments of the impact of current economic conditions on the portfolio and historical loss experience of seasoned loan portfolios. See Note 3 to the interim consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Management believes the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a “critical accounting estimate” because (1) the estimate is highly susceptible to change from period to period because of assumptions concerning the changes in the types and volumes of the portfolios and economic conditions and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on ChoiceOne’s reported assets and net income.

Stock Transactions

A total of 3,172 shares of common stock were issued to ChoiceOne’s Board of Directors for a cash price of $73,379 under the terms of the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan in the first six months of 2017. A total of 1,000 shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of stock options in the first half of 2017. A total of 2,146 shares of common stock were issued to employees for a cash price of $41,564 under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan in the first half of 2017. A total of 4,104 shares of common stock were issued to employees for Restricted Stock Units that vested during the first six months of 2017.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective July 1, 2013, ChoiceOne began granting Restricted Stock Units to a select group of employees under the Stock Incentive Plan of 2012. All of the Restricted Stock Units are initially unvested and vest in three annual installments on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date. Certain additional vesting provisions apply. Each unit, once vested, is settled by delivery of one share of ChoiceOne common stock.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income or loss. Other comprehensive income or loss includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and changes in the funded status of post-retirement plans, net of tax, which are also recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE 2 - SECURITIES

The fair value of securities available for sale and the related gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows:

ChoiceOne reviews its securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine whether unrealized losses are considered to be temporary or other-than-temporary. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2017. ChoiceOne believed that unrealized losses on securities were temporary in nature and were due to changes in interest rates and reduced market liquidity and not as a result of credit quality issues.

Presented below is a schedule of maturities of securities as of June 30, 2017, the fair value of securities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the weighted average yields of securities as of June 30, 2017:

The process to monitor the credit quality of ChoiceOne’s loan portfolio includes tracking (1) the risk ratings of business loans, (2) the level of classified business loans, and (3) delinquent and nonperforming consumer loans. Business loans are risk rated on a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the characteristics of the ratings follows:

Risk ratings 1 and 2: These loans are considered pass credits. They exhibit good to exceptional credit risk and demonstrate the ability to repay the loan from normal business operations.

Risk rating 3: These loans are considered pass credits. They exhibit acceptable credit risk and demonstrate the ability to repay the loan from normal business operations.

Risk rating 4: These loans are considered pass credits. However, they have potential developing weaknesses that, if not corrected, may cause deterioration in the ability of the borrower to repay the loan. While a loss is possible for a loan with this rating, it is not anticipated.

Risk rating 5: These loans are considered special mention credits. Loans in this risk rating are considered to be inadequately protected by the net worth and debt service coverage of the borrower or of any pledged collateral. These loans have well defined weaknesses that may jeopardize the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. If the weaknesses are not corrected, loss of principal and interest could be probable.

Risk rating 6: These loans are considered substandard credits. These loans have well defined weaknesses, the severity of which makes collection of principal and interest in full questionable. Loans in this category may be placed on nonaccrual status.

Risk rating 7: These loans are considered doubtful credits. Some loss of principal and interest has been determined to be probable. The estimate of the amount of loss could be affected by factors such as the borrower’s ability to provide additional capital or collateral. Loans in this category are on nonaccrual status.

Risk rating 8: These loans are considered loss credits. They are considered uncollectible and will be charged off against the allowance for loan losses.

The pre-modification and post-modification outstanding recorded investment represents amounts as of the date of loan modification. If a difference exists between the pre-modification and post-modification outstanding recorded investment, it represents impairment recognized through the provision for loan losses computed based on a loan’s post-modification present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. If no difference exists, a loss is not expected to be incurred based on an assessment of the borrower’s expected cash flows.

Loans are classified as performing when they are current as to principal and interest payments or are past due on payments less than 90 days. Loans are classified as nonperforming when they are past due 90 days or more as to principal and interest payments or are considered a troubled debt restructuring.

Impaired loans by loan category as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

The estimated fair values approximate the carrying amounts for all financial instruments except those described later in this paragraph. The methodology for determining the estimated fair value for securities available for sale is described in Note 6. The estimated fair value for loans is based on the rates charged at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for new loans with similar maturities, applied until the loan is assumed to reprice or be paid. The allowance for loan losses is considered to be a reasonable estimate of discount for credit quality concerns. The estimated fair values for time deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances are based on the rates paid at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for new deposits or FHLB advances, applied until maturity. The estimated fair values for other financial instruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments are considered nominal.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables present information about the Bank’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the valuation techniques used by the Bank to determine those fair values.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Bank has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Bank’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. Disclosures concerning assets measured at fair value are as follows:

Of the Level 3 assets that were held by the Bank at June 30, 2017, the net unrealized gain for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $162,000, which is recognized in other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet. No level 3 securities were purchased during the first half of 2017, $401,000 of Level 3 securities matured or were called, and there were $6,000 in principal paydowns in the same period. Of the Level 3 assets that were held by the Bank at June 30, 2016, the net unrealized loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $187,000, which is recognized in other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet . $750,000 of Level 3 securities were purchased during the first half of 2016, $182,000 of Level 3 securities matured or were called, and there were $181,000 in principal payments in the same period.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions classified as Level 3 investment securities and liabilities. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for these assets and liabilities presented in the tables above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

Available for sale investment securities categorized as Level 3 assets primarily consist of bonds issued by local municipalities. The Bank estimates the fair value of these bonds based on the present value of expected future cash flows using management’s best estimate of key assumptions, including forecasted interest yield and payment rates, credit quality and a discount rate commensurate with the current market and other risks involved.

The Bank also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not normally measured at fair value, but can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as impairment. Disclosures concerning assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are as follows:

Impaired loans categorized as Level 3 assets consist of non-homogeneous loans that are considered impaired. The Bank estimates the fair value of the loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows using management’s estimate of key assumptions. These assumptions include future payment ability, timing of payment streams, and estimated realizable values of available collateral (typically based on outside appraisals). The changes in fair value consisted of charge-downs of impaired loans that were posted to the allowance for loan losses and write-downs of other real estate that were posted to a valuation account.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations .

The following discussion is designed to provide a review of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (“ChoiceOne”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related notes.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This discussion and other sections of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and ChoiceOne itself. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “is likely,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “may,” “could,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Management’s determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of goodwill and loan servicing rights, 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) and management’s assumptions concerning pension and other postretirement benefit plans involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (“risk factors”) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood, and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, ChoiceOne undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. These are representative of the risk factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $1,635,000, which represented an increase of $190,000 or 13% compared to the same period in 2016. Net income for the first six months of 2017 was $3,081,000, which represented an increase of $362,000 or 13% over the same period in 2016. Growth in net interest income and a reduction in noninterest expense was partially offset by lower noninterest income in both the second quarter and first half of 2017 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.47 for the second quarter of 2017 and $0.89 for the first six months of 2017, compared to adjusted amounts of $0.41 and $0.78, respectively, for the same periods in 2016. Earnings per share amounts for the prior year have been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend paid on May 31, 2017. The return on average assets (ROAA) and return on average shareholders' equity (ROAE) percentages were 0.99% and 8.35%, respectively, for the first half of 2017, compared to 0.94% and 7.62%, respectively, for the same period in 2016. ROAA and ROAE ratios are non-GAAP measures which are provided as commonly used metrics in the banking industry.

Dividends

Cash dividends of $587,000 or $0.17 per share were declared in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $562,000 or $0.16 per share in the second quarter of 2016. The cash dividends declared in the first six months of 2017 were $1,153,000 or $0.33 per share, compared to $1,123,000 or an adjusted $0.32 per share declared in the same period in 2016. Dividends per share amounts for the first quarter of 2017 and the prior year have been adjusted for the 5% stock dividend paid on May 31, 2017. The cash divided payout percentage was 37% for the first six months of 2017, compared to 41% in the same period a year ago.

Interest Income and Expense

Tables 1 and 2 on the following pages provide information regarding interest income and expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Table 1 documents ChoiceOne’s average balances and interest income and expense, as well as the average rates earned or paid on assets and liabilities. Table 2 documents the effect on interest income and expense of changes in volume (average balance) and interest rates. These tables are referred to in the discussion of interest income, interest expense and net interest income.

	(2)	Interest on nontaxable investment securities and loans has been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis using an incremental tax rate of 34% for the periods presented.

Net Interest Income

The presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), but is customary in the banking industry. This non-GAAP measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt loans and investment securities. The adjustments to determine net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis were $366,000 and $378,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These adjustments were computed using a 34% federal income tax rate.

As shown in Tables 1 and 2, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $450,000 in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The effect of growth in average interest-earning assets was partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, which caused tax-equivalent net interest income to increase $834,000 in the first half of 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. The tax-equivalent net interest spread was reduced 12 basis points from 3.67% in the first six months of 2016, to 3.55% in the first half in 2017, which caused a decrease in net interest income of $384,000.

The decline in the interest spread was due to a 5 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets in the first half of 2017 compared to the same six months in 2016 plus the effect of a 7 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The reduction in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets was caused by relatively low general market rates on new loan originations and securities purchased in 2016 and the first half of 2017. Interest rates on loans are also being impacted by rate pressure from competing financial institutions in the markets in which ChoiceOne operates. The higher rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities resulted from growth in brokered certificates of deposit which increased the overall average rate on this deposit type as well as increases in short-term interest rates in the second half of 2016 and the first half of 2017 which increased the average rate paid on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

The average balance of loans increased $24.4 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Average commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans were $20.4 million higher, while average consumer and residential mortgage loans grew $2.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in the same time period. The increase in the average loans balance was offset by a 4 basis point decrease in the average rate earned. This caused tax-equivalent net interest income from loans to increase $481,000 in the first half of 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balance of total securities grew $12.3 million in the first half of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Additional securities were purchased in 2016 and in the first half of 2017 to provide added liquidity and to provide earning asset growth. Growth in the average balance of securities and the interest rates earned caused tax-equivalent net interest income to increase $123,000 in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

The average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased $13.7 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. This growth, plus the effect of a 4 basis point increase in the rate paid, caused interest expense to grow $50,000 in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half in the prior year. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased $18.4 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The average balance of brokered certificates of deposit was $25.4 million higher in 2017 and the balance of local certificates of deposit was $7.0 million lower. The impact of growth in the average certificates balance and a 7 basis point increase in the average rate paid caused interest expense to grow $89,000 in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016. The effect of a $4.0 million decline in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and a 42 basis point increase in the average rate paid caused interest expense to increase $32,000 in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

Total loans increased $10.4 million in the first half of 2017, while the allowance for loan losses decreased $179,000 during the same period. Provision for loan losses of $25,000 was recorded in the second quarter and first six months of 2017, compared to $0 for the same periods in 2016. Nonperforming loans were $4.6 million as of June 30, 2017, compared to $4.3 million as of March 31, 2017 and $5.1 million as of December 31, 2016. The increase in nonperforming loans in the second quarter was due to a higher balance of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. The allowance for loan losses was 1.08% of total loans at June 30, 2017, compared to 1.16% at March 31, 2017, and 1.20% at December 31, 2016.

Charge-offs and recoveries for respective loan categories for the six months ended June 30 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	2017				2016
	Charge-offs		Recoveries		Charge-offs		Recoveries
Agricultural	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
Commercial and industrial		362		—		33		23
Consumer		137		91		68		69
Real estate, commercial		—		161		—		31
Real estate, residential		34		77		69		149
	$	533	$	329	$	170	$	272

Net charge-offs were $252,000 in the second quarter and $204,000 in the first six months of 2017, compared to net recoveries of $172,000 and $102,000 of net recoveries in the same periods in the prior year. Net charge-offs on an annualized basis as a percentage of average loans were 0.11% in the first six months of 2017, compared to a negative 0.06% for the same period in the prior year. Management is aware that the economic climate in Michigan will continue to affect business and individual borrowers. Management has worked and intends to continue to work with delinquent borrowers in an attempt to lessen the negative impact to ChoiceOne. As charge-offs, changes in the level of nonperforming loans, and changes within the composition of the loan portfolio occur throughout 2017, the provision and allowance for loan losses will be reviewed by the Bank’s management and adjusted as determined to be necessary.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income decreased $109,000 in the second quarter and $219,000 in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The decline was caused by lower gains on sales of loans and securities in 2017 when compared to 2016. The reduction in mortgage income was primarily due to higher interest rates in the current year and a relatively low inventory of homes available for sale in the Bank’s primary market areas. The lower level of gains on sales of securities resulted from higher interest rates in the current year which reduced the market value of securities and gains available from them. Growth in insurance and investment commissions in the second quarter and first half of 2017 compared to the prior year was due to higher commission and advisory fee income.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense decreased $122,000 in the second quarter and $250,000 in the first six months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The decline was primarily due to reductions of $112,000 and $224,000 in intangible amortization expense in the second quarter and the first half of 2017, respectively compared to the prior year. The Bank’s intangible assets were completely amortized in the fourth quarter of 2016. An increase in salaries and benefits expense in both the second quarter and first six months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 resulted from higher salaries from raises and personnel additions and higher bonus accruals. The decline in FDIC insurance expense in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 resulted from a reduced assessment rate beginning in the third quarter of 2016 after the Deposit Insurance Fund reached a 1.15% reserve threshold on June 30, 2016. The reduction in other noninterest expense in both the current quarter and first half of 2017 compared the same periods in the prior year was due to lower balances in a number of expense categories.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $1,052,000 in the first six months of 2017 compared to $947,000 for the same period in 2016. The effective tax rate was 25.5% for 2017 and 25.8% for 2016. Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $108,000 higher compared to the first quarter of 2017 due to better financial results. Due in part to the purchase of additional taxable securities during 2017 and better financial results noted previously, the effective tax rate increased from 24.6% in the first quarter of 2017 to 26.2% in the second quarter of 2017.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

The securities available for sale portfolio increased $134,000 in the second quarter and $6.1 million in the first six months of 2017. The increase in the securities portfolio resulted from ChoiceOne’s desire to grow earning assets. Various securities totaling $24.3 million were purchased in the first half of 2017 to provide earning assets and to replace maturities, principal repayments, and calls within the securities portfolio. Approximately $6.9 million of securities were called or matured since the end of 2016. Principal repayments on securities totaled $1.1 million in the first six months of 2017. Approximately $12.5 million of securities were sold in the first six months of 2017 for a net gain of $125,000.

Loans

Loans increased $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $10.4 million in the first six months of 2017. Commercial real estate loans grew $6.2 million, commercial and industrial loans grew $5.4 million, and consumer loans grew $1.8 million, while agricultural loans declined $2.9 million. The decrease in agricultural loans was caused in part by seasonal pay- downs by borrowers. The environment for loan originations in ChoiceOne’s market area has become increasingly competitive.

Asset Quality

Information regarding impaired loans can be found in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report. The total balance of loans classified as impaired was $4.4 million as of June 30, 2017, compared to $4.7 million as of March 31, 2017 and $4.9 million as of December 31, 2016. The impaired loans balance declined in all loan categories in the second quarter except for residential real estate loans which were up slightly.

As part of its review of the loan portfolio, management also monitors the various nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans are comprised of: (1) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; (2) loans, not included in nonaccrual loans, which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments; and (3) loans, not included in nonaccrual or loans past due 90 days or more, which are considered troubled debt restructurings.

The balances of these nonperforming loans were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30,		December 31,
	2017		2016
Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis	$	1,425	$	1,983
Accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments		510		229
Loans considered troubled debt restructurings		2,367		2,853
Total	$	4,302	$	5,065

At June 30, 2017, nonaccrual loans included $442,000 in agricultural loans, $285,000 in commercial and industrial loans, $5,000 in consumer loans, $250,000 in commercial real estate loans, and $443,000 in residential real estate loans. At December 31, 2016, nonaccrual loans included $482,000 in agricultural loans, $245,000 in commercial and industrial loans, $6,000 in consumer loans, $458,000 in commercial real estate loans, and $792,000 in residential real estate loans. Management believes the allowance allocated to its nonperforming loans is sufficient at June 30, 2017.

Deposits and Borrowings

Total deposits increased $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $12.0 million since the end of 2016. Checking and savings deposits declined $24.3 million in the first six months of 2017, while local certificates of deposit increased $2.1 million and brokered certificates of deposit grew $34.2 million. Brokered deposits were obtained in the first half of 2017 to supplement funding of asset growth. ChoiceOne continued to place an emphasis on building its core deposits base in 2017. The decrease in checking and savings deposits in the first half of 2017 was a normal seasonal fluctuation for ChoiceOne.

A decrease of $5.6 million in repurchase agreements in the first six months of 2017 was due to normal fluctuations in funds provided by bank customers and movement of certain funds into other types of accounts. Certain securities are sold under agreements to repurchase them the following day. Management plans to continue this practice as a low-cost source of funding. Federal Home Loan Bank advances grew $12.0 million in the first half of 2017 as advances were used to provide funding for earning asset growth and to replace the decline in deposits.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased $3.8 million from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017. Growth in equity resulted from current year’s net income, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, and proceeds from the issuance of ChoiceOne stock, which were offset by cash dividends paid. The $1.7 million increase in other comprehensive income since the end of 2016 was caused by an increase in net unrealized gains on available for sale securities. The improvement in unrealized gains resulted from decreases in certain interest rate terms since December 31, 2016, which increased the market value of the Bank’s securities.

Management reviews the capital levels of ChoiceOne and the Bank on a regular basis. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) and management believe that the capital levels as of June 30, 2017 are adequate for the foreseeable future. The Board’s determination of appropriate cash dividends for future periods will be based on, among other things, market conditions and ChoiceOne’s requirements for cash and capital.

Liquidity

Net cash provided from operating activities was $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $6.4 million provided in the same period a year ago. The change was caused by a decrease in net cash flows provided by loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Net cash used for investing activities was $19.7 million for the first half of 2017, compared to $21.5 million in the same period in 2016. A decline in the level of growth in securities available for sale was offset by a higher level of growth in loans. Net cash provided from financing activities was $17.2 million in the first six months of 2017, compared to $17.4 million during the same period in the prior year. The impact of more growth in deposits was offset by a lower level of net growth in Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Management believes that the current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet the Bank’s normal operating needs. This belief is based upon the availability of deposits from both the local and national markets, maturities of securities, normal loan repayments, income retention, federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, and $24.5 million in advances available from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Bank also has a secured line of credit available from the Federal Reserve Bank.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures .

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of ChoiceOne’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ChoiceOne’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on and as of the time of that evaluation, ChoiceOne’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, concluded that ChoiceOne’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that ChoiceOne files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that ChoiceOne files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including ChoiceOne’s principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in ChoiceOne’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, ChoiceOne’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings .

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which ChoiceOne or the Bank is a party or to which any of their properties are subject, except for proceedings that arose in the ordinary course of business. In the belief of management, pending or current legal proceedings should not have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition of ChoiceOne.

Item 1A. Risk Factors .

Information concerning risk factors is contained in the discussion in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of the date of this report, ChoiceOne does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of ChoiceOne’s risk factors, as compared to the information disclosed in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds .

On April 26, 2017, ChoiceOne issued 828 shares of common stock, without par value, to the directors of ChoiceOne pursuant to the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan for an aggregate cash price of $19,060. On May 22, 2017, ChoiceOne issued 1,423 shares of common stock, without par value, to the directors of ChoiceOne pursuant to the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan for an aggregate cash price of $22,600.
