DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. GENERAL ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (the "Registrant") is a one-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Registrant was incorporated on February 24, 1986. The Registrant was formed to create a bank holding company for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of ChoiceOne Bank (formerly Sparta State Bank), which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant on April 6, 1987. The Registrant's only significant asset as of December 31, 1997, was ChoiceOne Bank (the "Bank"). Effective January 1, 1996, the Bank acquired all of the outstanding common stock of ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. (formerly Bradford Insurance Centre, Ltd.), an independent insurance agency headquartered in Sparta, Michigan. Effective August 1, 1997, the Bank acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Alpine Travel, Inc., a travel agency with one location in Walker, Michigan. The Registrant's business is primarily concentrated in a single industry segment - commercial banking. The Bank is a full-service banking institution that offers a variety of deposit, payment, credit and other financial services to all types of customers. These services include time, savings, and demand deposits, safe deposit services, and automated transaction machine services. Loans, both commercial and consumer, are extended primarily on a secured basis to corporations, partnerships and individuals. Commercial lending covers such categories as business, industry, agricultural, construction, inventory and real estate. The Bank's consumer loan and residential mortgage loan departments make direct loans to consumers and purchasers of residential property. No material part of the business of the Registrant or the Bank is dependent upon a single customer or very few customers, the loss of which would have a materially adverse effect on the Registrant. The Bank's primary market area consists of portions of Kent, Muskegon, Newaygo and Ottawa counties in Michigan in the communities where the Bank's offices are located and the areas immediately surrounding these communities. Currently the Bank serves these markets through four full- service offices and one off-premises automated transaction machine. The Registrant and the Bank have no foreign assets or income. The principal source of revenue for the Registrant and the Bank is interest and fees on loans. On a consolidated basis, interest and fees on loans accounted for 78% of total revenues in 1997, 76% in 1996 and 75% in 1995. Interest on investment securities accounted for 9% of total revenues in 1997, 11% in 1996 and 18% in 1995. 3 COMPETITION The business of banking is highly competitive. The Bank's competition primarily comes from other financial institutions located within Sparta, Michigan, and the Kent County, Michigan area. There are a number of larger commercial banks in the Bank's primary market area. The Bank also competes with a large number of other financial institutions, such as savings and loan associations, insurance companies, consumer finance companies, credit unions and commercial finance and leasing companies for deposits, loans and service business. Money market mutual funds, brokerage houses and nonfinancial institutions provide many of the financial services offered by the Bank. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources than the Bank. The principal methods of competition for financial services are price (the rates of interest charged for loans, the rates of interest paid for deposits, and the fees charged for services) and the convenience and quality of services rendered to customers. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION Banks and bank holding companies are extensively regulated. The Registrant is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). The Registrant's activities are generally limited to owning or controlling banks and engaging in such other activities as the Federal Reserve Board may determine to be closely related to banking. Prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, and in some cases various other government agencies, is required for the Registrant to acquire control of any additional banks or other operating subsidiaries. The Bank is chartered under state law and is subject to regulation by the Financial Institutions Bureau of the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services. State banking laws place restrictions on various aspects of banking, including permitted activities, loan interest rates, branching, payment of dividends and capital and surplus requirements. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is also subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") to the extent provided by law. The Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system in March 1993. This provides certain advantages to the Bank, including favorable borrowing rates for certain funds. The Registrant is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. There are legal limitations on the extent to which the Bank can lend or otherwise supply funds to the Registrant. In addition, payment of dividends to the Registrant by the Bank is subject to various state and federal regulatory limitations. 4 Under Federal Reserve Board policy, the Registrant is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support it. Under federal law, the FDIC also has authority to impose special assessments on insured depository institutions to repay FDIC borrowings from the United States Treasury or other sources and to establish semiannual assessment rates on Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") member banks to maintain the BIF at the designated reserve ratio required by law. Banks are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations which have a material impact on their business. These include, among others, state usury laws, state laws relating to fiduciaries, the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, electronic funds transfer laws, redlining laws, antitrust laws, environmental laws and privacy laws. The instruments of monetary policy of authorities such as the Federal Reserve Board may influence the growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and may also affect interest rates on loans and deposits. These policies may have a significant effect on the operating results of banks. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act") substantially changed the geographic constraints applicable to the banking industry. The Riegle-Neal Act allows bank holding companies to acquire banks located in any state in the United States without regard to geographic restrictions or reciprocity requirements imposed by state law. The Riegle-Neal Act also allows banks to 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 by the Riegle-Neal Act only if specifically authorized by state law. The legislation allowed individual states to "opt-out" of certain provisions of the Riegle-Neal Act by enacting appropriate legislation prior to June 1, 1997. 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 the Commissioner of the Financial Institutions Bureau, (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. 5 EFFECTS OF COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS The nature of the business of the Bank is such that it holds title, on a temporary or permanent basis, to a number of parcels of real property. These include properties owned for branch offices and other business purposes as well as properties taken in or in lieu of foreclosure to satisfy loans in default. Under current state and federal laws, present and past owners of real property may be exposed to liability for the cost of clean up of contamination on or originating from those properties, even if they are wholly innocent of the actions that caused the contamination. These liabilities can be material and can exceed the value of the contaminated property. Management is not presently aware of any instances where compliance with these provisions will have a material effect on the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Registrant or the Bank, or where compliance with these provisions will adversely affect a borrower's ability to comply with the terms of loan contracts. EMPLOYEES As of February 28, 1998, the Bank employed fifty-three persons on a full- time basis and fifteen persons on a part-time basis. The Insurance Agency employed fourteen persons on a full-time basis and two persons on a part- time basis. The Travel Agency employed two persons on a full-time basis and four persons on a part-time basis. The Registrant's only employees as of the same date were its four executive officers. The Registrant, Bank, Insurance Agency, and Travel Agency believe their relations with their employees are good.

Approximately two-thirds of mortgage- backed securities were classified in the 1 year to 5 years category. <F3> The total column includes securities which have no stated maturity. <F4> The interest rate is computed on a fully tax-equivalent basis at an incremental tax rate of 34%. </FN> The Bank had no holdings of investment securities from any one issuer at December 31, 1997, which were greater than 10% of the Registrant's shareholders' equity, exclusive of U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government agency securities. LOAN PORTFOLIO MATURITIES AND SENSITIVITIES OF LOANS TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES The following schedule presents the maturities of loans (excluding real estate mortgage loans and installment loans). Also presented are loans over one year in maturity, classified according to the sensitivity to changes in interest rates. 1 YEAR 1 YEAR- AFTER OR LESS 5 YEARS 5 YEARS TOTAL ------- ------- ------- ----- (Dollars in thousands) LOAN MATURITIES AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1997 <F1> Commercial $15,366 $21,347 $6,833 $43,546 Agricultural 4,088 4,205 1,057 9,350 Real estate - construction 2,499 -- -- 2,499 ------- ------- ------ ------- Totals $21,953 $25,552 $7,890 $55,395 ======= ======= ====== ======= 8 LOAN SENSITIVITY TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1997 Loans which have predetermined interest rates $17,549 $6,268 $23,817 Loans which have floating or adjustable interest rates 8,003 1,622 9,625 ------- ------ ------- Totals $25,552 $7,890 $33,442 ======= ====== ======= <FN> <F1> Loan maturities are classified according to the contractual maturity date or the anticipated amortization period, whichever is appropriate. The anticipated amortization period is used in the case of loans where a balloon payment is due before the end of the loan's normal amortization period. At the time the balloon payment is due, the loan can either be rewritten or payment in full can be requested. The decision as to whether the loan will be rewritten or a payment in full will be requested will be based upon the loan's payment history, the borrower's current financial condition, and other relevant factors. </FN> RISK ELEMENTS The following loans were classified as nonperforming as of December 31: 1997 1996 -------- ---------- Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis $753,000 $ 288,000 Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments 195,000 686,000 Loans not included above which are "troubled debt restructurings" 27,000 26,000 -------- ---------- Totals $975,000 $1,000,000 ======== ========== Interest on the above loans which would have been earned had the loans been in an accrual or performing status was approximately $101,000 and $128,000 for 1997 and 1996, respectively. The interest that was actually recorded when received was approximately $65,000 and $107,000 for 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition to the above loans, a holding of other real estate of $229,000 was also considered to be nonperforming as of December 31, 1997. There was no nonperforming other real estate as of December 31, 1996. 9 A loan is placed on nonaccrual status at the point in time at which the collectibility of principal or interest is considered doubtful. POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS At December 31, 1997, there were $1,915,000 of loans not disclosed above where some concern existed as to the borrowers' ability to comply with original loan terms. Approximately $8,000 of the allowance for loan losses had been specifically allocated to these loans at December 31, 1997. LOAN CONCENTRATIONS As of December 31, 1997, there was no concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans that are not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans in the loan portfolio listing in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference in Item 7 of this report. OTHER INTEREST-BEARING ASSETS As of December 31, 1997, there were no other interest-bearing assets that would be required to be disclosed if such assets were loans. SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE The following schedule presents a summary of activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods shown and the percentage of net charge-offs during each period to average gross loans outstanding during the period. 10 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, -------------------- 1997 1996 ------- ------- (Dollars in thousands) ANALYSIS OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Balance at beginning of period $ 1,487 $ 1,121 ------- ------- Charge-offs: Commercial 199 37 Agricultural 7 -- Real estate - construction -- -- Real estate - mortgage 6 -- Consumer 315 184 ------- ------- 527 221 ------- ------- Recoveries: Commercial 13 10 Agricultural -- 10 Real estate - construction -- -- Real estate - mortgage -- -- Consumer 55 44 ------- ------- 68 64 ------- ------- Net charge-offs 459 157 Additions charged to operations<F1> 539 523 ------- ------- Balance at end of period $ 1,567 $ 1,487 ======= ======= Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding during the period .39% .17% ======= ======= 11 <FN> <F1> The amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses charged to operations during the periods shown was based on management's judgment after considering factors such as loan loss experience, evaluation of the loan portfolio, and prevailing and anticipated economic conditions. The evaluation of the loan portfolio is based upon various risk factors such as the financial condition of the borrower, the value of collateral and other considerations which, in the opinion of management, deserve current recognition in estimating possible loan losses. </FN> The following schedule presents an allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various loan categories as of the dates indicated. ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AS OF DECEMBER 31, ----------------------------------------------- 1997 1996 -------------------- -------------------- PERCENT PERCENT OF LOANS OF LOANS IN EACH IN EACH ALLOW- CATEGORY ALLOW- CATEGORY ANCE TO TOTAL ANCE TO TOTAL AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS ------ -------- ------ --------- (Dollars in thousands) Commercial $ 425 34.08% $ 329 31.52% Agricultural 75 7.32 68 9.09 Real estate - construction 6 1.96 6 2.01 Real estate - mortgage 121 34.21 110 33.76 Consumer 685 22.43 594 23.62 Unallocated 255 N/A 380 N/A ------ ------ ------ ------ Totals $1,567 100.00% $1,487 100.00% ====== ====== ====== ====== Charge-offs in both commercial and consumer loans increased significantly in 1997 compared to 1996. Approximately $155,000 of the commercial increase in 1997 resulted from one loan customer. The consumer loan 12 increase was due to a higher level of indirect auto loan charge-offs in 1997 than in 1996. Management believes this is a result of a higher level of personal bankruptcies in 1997 than in the prior year as well as a larger balance of indirect auto loans in the consumer loans portfolio. Charge-offs and recoveries did not change significantly in 1996 as compared to 1995. The increases from the end of 1996 to the end of 1997 in the allowance for loan losses allocated to both commercial and consumer loans was believed prudent by management. This was based on the higher level of charge-offs experienced in these two loan categories in 1997 than in the prior year. There were no significant allocation changes from the end of 1995 to the end of 1996. DEPOSITS The following schedule presents daily average balances and the average interest rate paid by the deposit category for 1997 and 1996. It also presents the maturities of time certificates of deposit issued in denominations of $100,000 or more as of December 31, 1997.
