FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report and the documents incorporated into this 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 about the Registrant itself.

These are representative of the risk factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.
PART I
|
Item 1. |
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 subsidiary and significant asset as of December 31, 2002, 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 (the "Insurance Agency"). Effective August 1, 1997, the Bank acquired all of the outstanding common stock of ChoiceOne Travel, Inc. (formerly Alpine Travel, Inc.), a travel agency with one location in Comstock Park, Michigan (the "Travel Ag
ency"). Effective April 1, 2001, the Travel Agency discontinued operations. Effective January 1, 2002, the Bank formed ChoiceOne Mortgage Company of Michigan (the "Mortgage Company"). The Bank also owns a 20% interest in a non-banking corporation, West Shore Computer Services, Inc., a data processing firm located in Scottville, Michigan.
The Registrant's business is primarily concentrated in a single industry segment - 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 department makes direct and indirect loans to consumers and purchasers of residential and real property. The Mortgage Company originates and sells a full line of conventional type mortgage loans for 1-4 family and multi-family residential real estate properties. No material part of the business of the Registrant or the Bank is dependent upon a single customer or very few cust omers, 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 office with drive-up facilities only. 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 74%, 81%, and 83% of total revenues in 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. Interest on securities accounted for 6%, 5%, and 5% of total revenues in 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively.
The Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference in Part II, Item 8 contain information concerning the financial position and results of operations of the Registrant.
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 bank holding companies, banks or other operating subsidiaries.
The Bank is chartered under state law and is subject to regulation by the Office of Financial and Insurance Services 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.
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.
The recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") was accomplished through the enactment of The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996. This legislation authorized the Financing Corporation ("FICO") to impose periodic assessments on depository institutions that are members of the BIF, in addition to institutions that are members of the SAIF. The purpose of these periodic assessments is to spread the cost of the interest payments on the outstanding FICO bonds over a larger number of institutions. Until the change in the law, only SAIF member institutions bore the cost of funding these interest payments.
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, minimum capital requirements, 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, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, electronic funds transfer laws, redlining laws, predatory lending laws, antitrust laws, environmental laws, money laundering 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 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the "GLB Act") largely removed the restrictions that previously prevented affiliations among banks, securities firms, and insurance companies and provides for a system of functional regulation of the financial services industry. Among other provisions, the GLB Act:
|
|
• |
repealed the restrictions on banks affiliating with securities firms contained in the depression-era Glass-Steagall Act. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
created a new regulatory classification called a "financial holding company." A financial holding company may engage in a statutory list of financial activities, including insurance underwriting and agency activities, securities underwriting and brokerage activities, merchant banking, and insurance company portfolio investment activities. Other activities that are "complementary" to financial activities, a category defined by regulation, are also authorized for financial holding companies. The Registrant has not elected to be treated as a financial holding company, but may do so in the future. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
created a new regulatory classification of a "financial subsidiary" with powers similar to financial holding companies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
provides a system of functional regulation under which, with certain exceptions, activities of banks as securities brokers and investment advisors to mutual funds are subject to regulation and supervision by the Securities and Exchange Commission, eliminating exemptions that banks previously enjoyed. The effect of the laws is to "pushout" these activities into functionally regulated bank affiliates. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
reaffirms the traditional authority of states to regulate insurance companies and insurance agencies, but prohibits discrimination against bank affiliates that conduct those activities. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
requires financial institutions to disclose their privacy policy to consumers and provides protections to consumers against the transfer and use of nonpublic personal information by financial institutions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
requires that agreements between banks and non-governmental entities in connection with the Community Reinvestment Act be disclosed to the public, and that community groups that receive funds from banks in excess of defined thresholds disclose how those funds are used. |
Although the GLB Act repealed certain pre-existing statutory barriers to cross-industry affiliations and provides a structural framework for achieving the GLB Act's purposes, certain details of implementing the changes authorized by the GLB Act have been the subject of regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other federal agencies.
Bank holding companies may acquire banks and other bank holding companies located in any state in the United States without regard to geographic restrictions or reciprocity requirements imposed by state banking law. Banks may also establish interstate branch networks through acquisitions of and mergers with 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 banking laws do not significantly restrict interstate banking. The Michigan Banking Code permits, in appropriate circumstances and with the approval of the Office of Financial and Insurance Services, (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 .
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 environmental 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, 2003, the Bank employed 61 full-time equivalent employees (FTE's); the Insurance Agency employed 13 FTE's; and the Mortgage Company employed 11 FTE's. The Registrant's only employees as of the same date were its five executive officers (who are also employed by the Bank). The Registrant, Bank, Insurance Agency, and Mortgage Company believe their relations with their employees are good.

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 regarding 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. |

Additions to the allowance for loan losses charged to operations during the periods shown were 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. |
The following schedule presents an allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various loan categories as of the years ended December 31. Dollar amounts are presented in thousands.

The increase from 2001 to 2002 in the allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial loans was significantly increased based upon a larger portfolio, an increased level of substandard or problem loans, and higher historical loss percentages. Many of the substandard or problem loans have a specific reserve allocated to them based upon a discounted present value of future expected cashflows. The allocation to construction real estate loans was maintained at roughly the same level as 2001 due to little change in the portfolio and charge-offs experienced in 2001 and 2000. The allocation to real estate term mortgages was slightly lower in 2002 based upon lower loan balances, reduced delinquencies and fewer charge-offs, offset by higher non-accrual loans at the end of 2002. The allocation to consumer loans was reduced due to lower loan balances, decreased delinquent and non-accrual loans, offset by higher historical charge-off percentages. The Bank sold its credit card portfolio in 2002 which al so reduced the allowance allocated to consumer loans.
