NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Explanatory Note

On July 1, 2020, ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (“ChoiceOne” or the “Company”) completed the merger of Community Shores Bank Corporation ("Community Shores") with and into ChoiceOne with ChoiceOne surviving the merger. Accordingly, the reported consolidated financial condition and operating results as of and for periods ending after July 1, 2020 include the impact of the merger.

For additional details regarding the merger with Community Shores and the merger of County Bank Corp. ("County") with and into ChoiceOne, see Note 8 (Business ~~Combination) of the Notes~~Combinations) to the ~~Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.~~interim consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

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

ChoiceOne owns all of the common securities of Community Shores Capital Trust I (the “Capital Trust”). Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Capital Trust is not consolidated because it is a variable interest entity and ChoiceOne is not the primary beneficiary.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto 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~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three- and ~~six~~nine~~-month~~ month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021and ~~June~~September 30, 2020, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three- and ~~six~~nine~~-month~~ month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021and ~~June~~September 30, 2020, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for the three- and ~~six~~nine~~-month~~ month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021and ~~June~~September 30, 2020, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and ~~June~~September 30, 2020. Operating results for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates

To prepare financial ~~statements~~statements in conformity with GAAP, 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; therefore, future results could differ. These estimates and assumptions are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including changes in interest rates and other general economic, business and political conditions, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its potential effects on the economic environment, our customers and our operations, as well as any changes to federal, state and local government laws, regulations and orders in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Loans to Other Financial Institutions

ChoiceOne Bank entered into an agreement with another financial institution to fund mortgage loans. Loans to other financial institutions are purchased participating interests in individual advances made to mortgage bankers nation-wide from an unaffiliated originating bank. The originating bank services these loans and cash flows on the individual advances (principal, interest, and fees) which are allocated pro-rata based on ownership in the participating interest, less fees paid for the servicing activity. The underlying collateral is generally made up of 1-4 family first residential mortgages owned by the mortgage banker and held for sale in the secondary market and have been underwritten using secondary market underwriting standards prior to purchasing the participating interest. Once the mortgage banker delivers the loan to the secondary market, the advance is required to be paid off, including ChoiceOne Bank’s participating interest. If the advance (in which ChoiceOne Bank has a participating interest) is outstanding over 90 days, the originating bank has the right to request the participating interest be paid off by the mortgage banker. ~~There was~~The participating interests are held by 11 different mortgage bankers, with the largest creditor outstanding representing 17% of the total at no ~~participating interest as of~~ ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Credit risk associated with the participating interest is measured as an allowance for loan losses when necessary. Losses are charged off against the allowance when incurred and recoveries of loan charge-offs are recorded when received. At least quarterly, ChoiceOne Bank reviews the portfolios of participating interests for potential losses including any participating interest that is outstanding over 90 days (even if the advance and participating interest is current). Loans to other financial institutions are excluded from the loans described in Note 3 to the interim consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2021, there were 0 participating interests outstanding over 30 days. At December 31, 2020, 26 of the 218 participating interests with principal balances totaling $7.9 million had balances outstanding over 30 days. During the firstnine months of 2020 and 2021, there were 0 losses or charge-offs of participating interests.

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 for loan losses is an estimate based on ~~reviews of individual loans, assessments~~known and inherent risks in the portfolio, past loan loss experience, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other relevant factors (including both qualitative and quantitative factors). Allocations of the ~~impact~~allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance for loan losses 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 a loan balance is uncollectible. Management continues its collection efforts on previously charged-off loan balances and applies recoveries as additions to the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific allocations for loans that are classified as impaired and pooled allocations for groups of homogeneous loans that are not impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current ~~economic conditions~~information and events, management beleives it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or if the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring. Loans for which the terms have been modified and a concession has been made, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. Groups of homogeneous loans receive allowance allocations based on ~~the portfolio and~~ historical loss ~~experience of seasoned loan portfolios. See Note~~ 3 ~~to the interim consolidated financial statements for additional information.~~experienced over a selected period.

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 assets reported on ~~the~~its balance ~~sheets as well as~~sheet and its net income.

Stock Transactions

A total of ~~8,929~~13,092 shares of common stock were issued to ChoiceOne’s Board of Directors for a cash price of ~~$ 247,000~~$348,000 under the terms of the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021. A total of ~~2,957~~ 4,718shares for a cash price of ~~$ 66,000~~$104,000 were issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021. ChoiceOne repurchased approximately 223,000 shares for $5.6 million, or a weighted average all-in cost per share of $24.94, during the firstnine months of 2021. This was part of the common stock repurchase program announced in April 2021 which authorized repurchases of up to 390,114 shares, representing 5% of the total outstanding shares of common stock as of the date the plan was adopted.

Stock-Based Compensation

ChoiceOne grants 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 three years after the grant date. Certain additional vesting provisions apply. Each unit, once vested, is settled by delivery of one share of ChoiceOne common stock.

Reclassifications

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology in GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new guidance attempts to reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses and broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually to include forecasted information, as well as past events and current conditions. There is no specified method for measuring expected credit losses, and an entity may apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the credit loss estimate. Although an entity may still use its current systems and methods for recording the allowance for credit losses, under the new rules, the inputs used to record the allowance for credit losses generally will need to change to appropriately reflect an estimate of all expected credit losses and the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additionally, credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities will have to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and for interim periods within those years for companies considered a smaller reporting company with the Se~~curities~~Securities and Exchange Commission. ChoiceOne was classified as a smaller reporting company as of the determination date of November 15, 2019. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this new ASU on its consolidated financial statements which may be significant.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated annually for impairment and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge would be recognized for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. Accounting pronouncements allow a company to first perform a qualitative assessment for goodwill prior to a quantitative assessment (Step 1 assessment). If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, then a quantitative assessment must be performed. If not, there is no further assessment required. ChoiceOne acquired Valley Ridge Financial Corp. in 2006, County in 2019, and Community Shores in 2020, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $13.7 million, $38.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

~~Due to the potential impact of COVID-~~19 ~~and any long term economic fallout that might occur, ChoiceOne engaged a~~ ~~third~~~~-party valuation firm to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill as of~~ ~~November 30, 2020 (~~~~"the valuation date"). In deriving the fair value of the reporting unit (ChoiceOne), the~~ ~~third~~-party firm assessed general economic conditions and outlook; industry and market considerations and outlook; the impact of recent events to financial performance; the market price of ChoiceOne’s common stock and other relevant events. In addition, the valuation relied on financial projections through ~~2025~~ and growth rates prepared by management. Based on the valuation prepared, it was determined that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit at the valuation date was greater than its book value and impairment of goodwill was ~~not~~ ~~required.~~

Management performed its annual qualitative assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2021. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of ChoiceOne's operations was less than the carrying amount, management assessed the relevant events and circumstances such as the ones noted in ASC 350-20-35-3c. The analysis consisted of a review of ChoiceOne’s current and expected future financial performance, the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the ability of ChoiceOne’s borrowers to comply with loan terms, and the impact that reductions in both short-term and long-term interest rates have had and may continue to have on net interest margin and mortgage sales activity. The share price and book value of ChoiceOne’s stock were also compared to the prior year. Management also compared average deal values for recent closed bank transactions to ChoiceOne transactions. Despite ChoiceOne's market capitalization declining slightly from November 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021, ChoiceOne's financial performance remained positive. ~~This was evidenced by the strong financial indicators, solid credit quality ratios, as well as the strong capital position of ChoiceOne. In addition,~~ ~~second~~ ~~quarter~~ ~~2021~~ ~~revenue reflected significant and continuing growth in ChoiceOne's interest income, as well as net Small Business Administration fees related to Payroll Protection Program ("PPP") loans.~~ In assessing the totality of the events and circumstances, management determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of ~~ChoiceOne's~~ChoiceOne’s operations, from a qualitative perspective, exceeded the carrying value as of June 30, ~~2021.~~2021 and impairment of goodwill was not necessary.

ChoiceOne’s stock price per share was less than its book value as of September 30, 2021. This indicated that goodwill may be impaired and resulted in management performing another qualitative goodwill impairment assessment as of the end of the third quarter of 2021. As a result of the analysis, management concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit was greater than the carrying value. This was evidenced by the strong financial indicators, solid credit quality ratios, as well as the strong capital position of ChoiceOne. In addition, revenue in the firstnine months of 2021 reflected significant and continuing growth in ChoiceOne's interest income, as well as net Small Business Administration fees related to Paycheck Protection Program loans. Based on the results of the qualitative analysis, management believed that a quantitative analysis was not necessary as of September 30, 2021.

ChoiceOne reviews its securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine whether unrealized losses are considered to be temporary or other-than-temporary. NaN other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded in the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 or in the same periods in2020. ChoiceOne believes 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.

~~The provision for loan losses was $166,000~~ ~~in the~~ ~~second~~ ~~quarter of~~ ~~2021~~ ~~and $416,000 in the~~ ~~first~~ ~~half of~~ ~~2021,~~ ~~compared to $1,000,000~~ ~~and $1,775,000, respectively, in the same periods in the prior year. The~~ ~~second~~ ~~quarter and~~ ~~first~~ ~~half of~~ ~~2021~~ provisions were deemed appropriate due to positive economic indicators in ChoiceOne's local market areas and the national economy compared to the prior year. While it is difficult to predict the impact that COVID-19 ~~will have in future quarters, ChoiceOne estimates these losses have been incurred as of~~ ~~June 30, 2021,~~ ~~and expects that increased levels of past due loans, nonperforming loans and loan losses~~ ~~may~~ ~~occur.~~

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 9. A description of the characteristics of the ratings follows:

Risk Rating 1 through 5 or pass: 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 6 or special mention: Loans and other credit extensions bearing this grade are considered to be inadequately protected by the current sound worth and debt service capacity of the borrower or of any pledged collateral. These obligations, even if apparently protected by collateral value, have well-defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market, or political conditions that have clearly jeopardized repayment of principal and interest as originally intended. Furthermore, there is the possibility that ChoiceOne ~~Bank~~Bank will sustain some future loss if such weaknesses are not corrected. Clear loss potential, however, does not have to exist in any individual assets classified as substandard. Loans falling into this category should have clear action plans and timelines with benchmarks to determine which direction the relationship will move.

Risk rating 7 or substandard: Loans and other credit extensions graded “7” have all the weaknesses inherent in those graded “6”, with the added characteristic that the severity of the weaknesses makes collection or liquidation in full highly questionable or improbable based upon currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Loans in this classification should be evaluated for non-accrual status. All nonaccrual commercial and Retail loans must be at a minimum graded a risk code “7”.

Risk rating 8 or doubtful: Loans and other credit extensions bearing this grade have been determined to have the extreme probability of some loss, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors, the amount of loss cannot be determined. Such pending factors could include merger or liquidation, additional capital injection, refinancing plans, or perfection of liens on additional collateral.

Risk rating 9 or loss: Loans in this classification are considered uncollectible and cannot be justified as a viable asset of ChoiceOne Bank. This classification does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but that it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off this loan even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future.

In March of 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed into law. Among other things, the CARES Act provides that certain loans subject to modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic need not be classified as TDRs. Further, the federal banking agencies issued an “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” on March 22, 2020, followed by a revised statement on April 7, 2020, providing in part that short-term modifications to loans made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of the statements are not considered TDRs. As a result of the pandemic, ChoiceOne provided a modification program to borrowers that included certain concessions such as interest only payments or payment deferrals. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, all deferments had resumed payments in accordance with loan terms.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables present information about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the valuation techniques used 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 ChoiceOne 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. ChoiceOne 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~~September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Disclosures concerning assets measured at fair value are as follows:

Of the available for sale Level 3 assets that were held by ChoiceOne at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the net unrealized gain as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 was ~~$643,000,~~$420,000, which was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet.

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.

Securities categorized as Level 3 assets primarily consist of bonds issued by local municipalities and common and preferred equity securities of community banks. ChoiceOne estimates the fair value of these bonds and equity securities 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.

ChoiceOne 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. ChoiceOne 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.

NOTE 7 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

ChoiceOne has a variety of sources of revenue, which include interest and fees from customers as well as revenue from non-customers. ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts With Customers, covers certain sources of revenue that are classified within noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Sources of revenue that are included in the scope of ASC Topic 606 include service charges and fees on deposit accounts, interchange income, investment asset management income and transaction-based revenue, and other charges and fees for customer services.

Service Charges and Fees on Deposit Accounts

Revenue includes charges and fees to provide account maintenance, overdraft services, wire transfers, funds transfer, and other deposit-related services. Account maintenance fees such as monthly service charges are recognized over the period of time that the service is provided.

Interchange Income

Revenue includes debit card interchange and network revenues. This revenue is earned on debit card transactions that are conducted through payment networks such as MasterCard. The revenue is recorded as services are delivered and is presented net of interchange expenses.

Investment Commission Income

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”), its wholly-owned subsidiary ChoiceOne Bank, and ChoiceOne Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc., Lakestone Financial Services, Inc., and Community Shores’ Financial Services, 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. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “is likely,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “may,” “could,” “look forward,” “continue”, “future”, 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, loan servicing rights, 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) and management’s assumptions concerning pension and other postretirement benefit plans involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. Examples of forward-looking statements also include, but are not limited to, statements related to risks and uncertainties related to, and the impact of, the COVID-19 pandemic on the businesses, financial condition and results of operations of ChoiceOne and its customers and statements regarding the outlook and expectations of ChoiceOne and its customers. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting ChoiceOne and its customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on ChoiceOne's business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects is uncertain. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. All statements with references to future time periods are 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.

Additional 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, 2020 and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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

Net income for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021 was $~~5,043,000~~5,749,000, which represented an increase of $~~613,000~~1,920,000 or ~~14%~~50% compared to the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were ~~$0.65~~$0.75 for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021 compared to ~~$0.61~~$0.49 for the ~~second~~third quarter of the prior year. Net income for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 was ~~$11,281,000~~$17,029,000 or ~~$1.45~~$2.20 per diluted share, compared to ~~$7,684,000~~$11,513,000 or ~~$1.06~~$1.55 per diluted share in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2020. Growth in net income in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year resulted in part from the effects of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act and Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") fees and deposit dollars resulting from the CARES Act. The merger with Community Shores Bank Corporation ("Community Shores") that was effective on July 1, 2020 also had an impact on ChoiceOne's financial results. There were no merger expenses in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021. Net income for the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~half~~nine months of 2020, excluding ~~$462,000~~$1,423,000 and ~~$744,000~~$2,167,000 of tax-effected merger expenses, respectively was ~~$4,892,000~~$5,252,000 or $0.67 per diluted share and ~~$8,428,000~~$13,680,000 or ~~$1.16~~$1.84 per diluted share, respectively.

The return on average assets and return on average shareholders’ equity ~~percentages~~ were ~~1.10%~~1.08% and 10.01%, respectively, for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021, compared to ~~1.22%~~0.87% and ~~9.04%~~7.50%, respectively, for the same period in 2020.

Net income ~~basic earnings per share,~~ and diluted earnings per share excluding tax-effected merger-related expenses are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the section below titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Private Placement Subordinated Debt Offering

In September 2021, ChoiceOne completed a private placement of $32.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031. ChoiceOne intends to use net proceeds of the private placement for general corporate purposes, including support for organic growth plans, possible redemption of senior debt, common stock repurchases, and support for bank-level capital ratios.

During the third quarter of 2021, ChoiceOne used a portion of the proceeds from this private placement to pay off $2.6 million of other outstanding debt and an additional $5.0 million of proceeds was downstreamed to the Bank. The notes will initially bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 3.25% per annum until September 3, 2026, after which time the interest rate will reset quarterly to a floating rate equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be the then current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 255 basis points until the notes’ maturity on September 3, 2031. The notes are redeemable by ChoiceOne, in whole or in part, on or after September 3, 2026, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events. The notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for ChoiceOne for regulatory capital purposes.

Acquisition of Community Shores Bank Corporation

ChoiceOne completed the acquisition of Community Shores Bank Corporation (“Community Shores”) with and into ChoiceOne effective on July 1, 2020. Community Shores had 4 branch offices as of the date of the acquisition. Total assets of Community Shores as of July 1, 2020 were $244.5 million, including total loans of $174.8 million. Deposits acquired in the merger, the majority of which were core deposits, totaled $227.8 million. The impact of the merger has been included in ChoiceOne’s results of operations since the effective date of the merger. As consideration in the merger, ChoiceOne issued 524,139 shares of ChoiceOne common stock and cash in the amount of $5,390,000 with an approximate total value of $20.9 million. The consolidation of Community Shores Bank with and into ChoiceOne Bank was completed on October 16, 2020.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on numerous aspects of life in the United States, including threats to public health, government imposed restrictions on business and gatherings, increased volatility in markets, and severe effects on national and local economies.

~~Although there were no material increases in delinquencies or net charge-offs in the~~ ~~second~~ ~~quarter of~~ ~~2021, ChoiceOne has designated a portion of our allowance for loan losses for the losses we believe may be realized from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.~~ Consistent with federal banking agencies' “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus,” ChoiceOne is working with its borrowers affected by ~~COVID-19.~~the COVID-19 pandemic. ChoiceOne granted deferrals on numerous loans to borrowers affected by the pandemic; however, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, all deferments had resumed payments in accordance with loan terms.

In addition, ChoiceOne processed over $126 million in PPP loans in 2020 and acquired an additional $37 million in PPP loans in the merger with Community Shores. ChoiceOne originated $89.1 million in PPP loans in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021. PPP loans are forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. PPP loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and a term of two years (loans made before June 5, 2020) or five years (loans made on or after June 5, 2020), if not forgiven in whole or in part. Payments are deferred until either the date on which the Small Business Administration ("SBA") remits the amount of forgiveness proceeds to the lender or the date that is ten months after the last day of the covered period if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness within that ten-month period. The loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. The SBA pays the originating bank a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5%, based on the size of the loan. Upon SBA forgiveness, unrecognized fees are recognized into interest income. In the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~half~~nine months of 2021, ~~$37.7~~$48.7 million and ~~$115.8~~$164.5 million of PPP loans were forgiven resulting in ~~$756,000~~$1.6 million and ~~$2.4~~$4.0 million of fee income, respectively. ~~$3.9~~$2.4 million in PPP fee income ~~remains~~remained deferred as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. $61.2 million in PPP loans remain on ChoiceOne's balance sheet at September 30, 2021.

Dividends

Cash dividends of ~~$1,703,000~~$1,903,000 or ~~$0.22~~$0.25 per share were declared in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, compared to ~~$1,451,000~~$1,558,000 or $0.20 per share declared in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020. Cash dividends declared in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 were ~~$3,419,000~~$5,322,000 or ~~$0.44~~$0.69 per share, compared to ~~$2,900,000~~$4,459,000 or ~~$0.40~~$0.60 per share in the prior year. The cash dividend payout percentage was ~~30%~~31% for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021, compared to ~~38%~~39% in the same period in the prior year.

Interest Income and Expense

Tables 1 and 2 on the following pages provide information regarding interest income and expense for the ~~three-~~three and ~~six-month~~nine month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020. 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.

	(1)	The volume variance is computed as the change in volume (average balance) multiplied by the previous year’s interest rate. The rate variance is computed as the change in interest rate multiplied by the previous year’s volume (average balance). The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to the volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.
	(2)	Interest on nontaxable investment securities and loans has been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis using an incremental tax rate of 21%.

Net Interest Income

Tax-equivalent net interest income increased ~~$2.9~~$1.8 million in the ~~second~~third quarter and ~~$6.6~~$8.4 million in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020. This was partially due to ~~$756,000~~$1.6 million in PPP loan fees recognized during the ~~second~~third quarter and ~~$2.4~~$4.0 million in PPP loan fees recognized in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 and the impact of the Community Shores merger. Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis declined by ~~44 and 35~~32 basis points in both the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, to 3.06% and 3.10% respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year due to a lower interest rate environment and ~~low interest rate PPP loans.~~a higher percentage of securities to total assets.

The average balance of loans increased ~~$175.6~~$74.0 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. ~~$173.9 million~~Much of the increase was due to ~~the impact~~$173.9 million of loan growth related to the merger with Community Shores which closed on July 1, 2020. This was offset by PPP balances declining $76.8 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase in ~~the~~ average ~~loans~~loan balance was partially offset by a 19 basis point decline in the average rate earned. Loan rates have partially been affected by PPP loans with an interest rate of 1.00% which has reduced the overall rate earned on loans during the first half of 2021. The combination of these factors caused tax-equivalent interest income from loans to increase ~~$3.2~~$2.5 million in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balance of total securities increased ~~$371.4~~$431.1 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The securities portfolio has grown as ChoiceOne has deployed excess deposit dollars into sufficiently short-term securities to allow loans to grow organically as good credits become available. The effect of the average balance growth, partially offset by a combined 45 basis point reduction in the average rate earned on securities, caused tax-equivalent securities income to increase ~~$3.0~~$5.3 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Growth of ~~$377.0~~$360.2 million in the average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits, partially offset by a combined 87 basis point decrease in the average rate paid, caused interest expense to be ~~$95,000~~$180,000 higher in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 compared to the first ~~six~~nine months of the prior year. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased ~~$16.6~~$7.1 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The growth was offset by a reduction of 8165 basis points in the average rate paid on certificates which caused interest expense to decrease ~~$659,000~~$853,000 in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Part of the increase in the average balance of deposits was due to the merger with Community Shores which closed on July 1, 2020 and created interest bearing deposit growth of $162.3 million. In September 2021, ChoiceOne completed a private placement of $32.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031. ChoiceOne used a portion of the proceeds from the private placement to payoff $2.6 million of other outstanding debt during the third quarter of 2021. In addition, ChoiceOne holds certain subordinated debentures issued in connection with a trust preferred securities offering that were obtained as part of the merger with Community Shores. A reduction of ~~$18.1~~$18.3 million in the average balance of borrowings in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year ~~partially offset by a 14 basis point increase in the average rate~~ caused interest expense to decline ~~$167,000. Subordinated debentures issued in connection with a trust preferred securities offering were obtained as part of the merger with Community Shores.~~$209,000.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $~~166,000~~$0 in the ~~second~~third quarter and $416,000 in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021, compared to ~~$1,000,000~~$1,225,000 and ~~$1,775,000~~$3,000,000 in the same periods in the prior year. The provision in the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 was deemed prudent ~~due to changes~~based on our assessment of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our methodology for measuring the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan losses involves specific allocations for loans considered impaired, and general allocations for homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience.

Loans classified as impaired loans declined by $868,000 and $1.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The specific allowance for loan losses for impaired loans increased by $121,000 and $52,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as the loans being evaluated had a higher risk ~~profile~~ of ~~ChoiceOne’s~~loss based on management's judgement than impaired loans at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Loans that were collectively analyzed for impairment decreased by $14.0 million and $75.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as a result of forgiveness of PPP loans of $48.7 million and $76.8 million during the same time periods. As PPP loans are 100% government guaranteed and carry no allowance, the general allocation for loan losses not considered impaired decreased by $316,000 and increased by $110,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as a result of loan growth excluding PPP loans during that time.

The determination of our loss factors is based, in part, upon our actual loss history adjusted for significant qualitative factors that, in management's judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio ~~and~~as of the ~~economic impact on ChoiceOne's local market areas and~~analysis date. ChoiceOne uses a rolling 20 quarter actual net charge-off history as the ~~national economy resulting from~~base for the ~~COVID-19 pandemic.~~ computation.

Nonperforming loans were ~~$6.9~~$6.3 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$10.0~~$6.9 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and $8.2 million as of December 31, 2020. The allowance for loan losses was ~~0.79%~~0.78% of total loans at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~0.75%~~0.79% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 0.71% at December 31, 2020. Loans acquired in the mergers with County and Community Shores were recorded at fair value and as a result do not have an allowance for loan losses allocated to them unless credit deteriorates subsequent to acquisition. ChoiceOne has $7.1 million in credit mark remaining on loans acquired in the mergers. If the credit mark associated with the loans acquired in the mergers were added to the allowance for loan losses, the total allowance for loan losses would have represented ~~1.53%~~1.50% of total loans at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, ~~compared to 1.52%~~1.53% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 1.60% at December 31, 2020.

Charge-offs and recoveries for respective loan categories for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Net charge-offs on an annualized basis as a percentage of average loans were ~~0.01%~~0.03% in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 compared to ~~0.02%~~0.05% of average loans in 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 believes that the COVID-19 pandemic will also have an impact in the remainder of 2021 and ~~beyond.~~beyond and, accordingly, has maintained a qualitative allocation related to the COVID-19 pandemic in evaluating its allowance for loan losses. Management has worked and intends to continue to work with delinquent borrowers in an attempt to lessen the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ChoiceOne.

ChoiceOne has allocated approximately ~~$1.7~~$1.4 million ~~in the~~of its allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2021 compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2020 to borrowers falling into industry classification codes that management believes to be highly or moderately affected by the pandemic, as follows:

Highly Affected	Moderately Affected
Accommodation	Ambulatory Health Care Services
Amusement, Gambling, and Recreation Industries	Educational Services
Food Services and Drinking Places	Merchant Wholesalers, Durable Goods
Performing Arts, Spectator Sports, and Related Industries	Merchant Wholesalers, Nondurable Goods
Rental and Leasing Services	Miscellaneous Store Retailers
Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation	Motion Picture and Sound Recording Industries
Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation	Real Estate

Loans highly affected and moderately affected based on their commercial industry category have been allocated an additional 3025 basis points and 2015 basis points, respectively. ChoiceOne has also allocated 2015 basis points to all retail loan categories. It is noted that this allowance amount is in addition to the regularly calculated allowance based on risk rating and qualitative factors. These allocations have declined from their highest levels at December 31, 2020, as ChoiceOne has seen improvements in customer, industry, and economic conditions related to the effects of the pandemic. ChoiceOne will continue to monitor concentrations as part of its analysis on an ongoing basis. Management will continue to monitor charge-offs, changes in the level of nonperforming loans, changes within the composition of the loan portfolio and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it will adjust the provision and allowance for loan losses as determined to be necessary.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income ~~was $4.7~~declined $1.6 million and $2.0 million in the ~~second quarter~~three and ~~$10.3 million in the first half of~~nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $6.8 million and $10.7 million in the same periods in the prior year. Customer service charges grew $732,000 in the second quarter and $807,000 in the first half of 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 as a result of increased business activity as the economy recovered from the pandemic and the merger with Community Shores.respectively. Total noninterest income in the ~~second~~third quarter and first nine months of 2020 was ~~elevated~~bolstered by ~~an investment~~heightened levels of refinancing activity within ChoiceOne's mortgage portfolio, ~~restructuring which created $1.3 million in noninterest income.

Although mortgage rates are still low, ChoiceOne experienced lower loan refinancing activity in the three months ended June 30, 2021$2.6 million larger than in the ~~same period in the prior year, in contrast to the~~third quarter and first ~~quarter of 2021 where loan originations were higher than the first quarter~~nine months of 2020. Gains on sales of loans were also affected by a lower gain rate in 2021 than in 2020. Future originations will be affected by housing inventory as it continues to be less than demand in ChoiceOne's market areas. ~~The~~Customer service charges increased $196,000 and $1.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Prior year service charges were depressed by stay at home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. Current year service charges also included the effect of a merger with Community Shores which closed on July 1, 2020.The stock market dipped sharply in March 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic which affected securities held by ChoiceOne. Since that time ChoiceOne has seen the value of equity investments held climb to pre-pandemic levels. The change in the market value of equity securities ~~saw a decline~~was $210,000 and $645,000 better in the three months and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, ~~and an increase in the six months ended June 30, 2021, in each case~~ when compared to the same ~~time~~ periods in ~~2020.~~the prior year. It is also noted that ChoiceOne performed a restructure of its security portfolio in the second quarter of 2020 which provided $1.3 million of additional noninterest income.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense ~~increased $979,000 and $3.1~~declined $1.0 million in the ~~second~~third quarter ~~and first half~~ of 2021 ~~respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. All categories included expenses as a result of the merger with Community Shores that was effective on July 1, 2020. Salaries~~ and ~~benefits included a higher level of commission expense~~increased $2.0 million in the ~~second quarter and~~ first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 compared to the same time periods in 2020. The decrease during the ~~prior year as a result~~third quarter of 2021 was due to savings on salaries of personnel, data processing, and professional fees related to the merger with Community Shores. Much of the ~~additional mortgage lenders hired during the last year. Supplies and postage declined~~increase in the ~~second quarter and~~ first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 ~~compared~~was caused by the increase in scale related to the same period in the prior year as ChoiceOne continues to move mailings digital when possible. The intangible amortization expense in 2021 represented the amortization of the core deposit intangible that resulted from the mergersmerger with ~~County and~~ Community Shores.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $~~2,174,000~~3,337,000 in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 compared to $~~1,675,000~~2,460,000 for the same period in 2020. The increase was due to a higher level of income before income tax. The effective tax rate was ~~16.2%~~16.4% for the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 and ~~17.9%~~17.6% for the first ~~half~~nine months of 2020. The small decline in the effective tax rate resulted from increased interest income from tax-exempt securities in 2021 compared to 2020.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

In an effort to deploy deposit growth, ChoiceOne grew its securities portfolio ~~$286.3~~$172.6 million in the ~~first half~~third quarter of 2021 and $458.9 million in the twelve months ended September 30, 2021. ~~We believe our portfolio will provide~~During the third quarter of 2021, ChoiceOne agreed to become a ~~natural hedge for floating rate loans~~limited partner in Banktech Ventures LP, a venture capital fund that specializes in connecting and accelerating bank technology-focused startups.

In the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~half~~nine months of 2021, ~~$37.7~~$48.7 million and ~~$115.8~~$164.5 million of PPP loans were forgiven resulting in ~~$756,000~~$1.6 million and ~~$2.4~~$4.0 million of fee income, respectively. ~~$3.9~~$2.4 million in PPP fee income ~~remains~~remained deferred ~~as of June~~on $61.2 million in PPP loans outstanding at September 30, 2021.

The remaining credit mark on acquired loans from the recent mergers with County Bank Corp. and Community Shores totaled $7.1 million as of September 30, 2021. ChoiceOne saw declines of ~~$38.5~~$86.3 million in commercial and industrial loans ~~$22.3~~and $22.2 million in residential real estate loans ~~and $7.2 million~~since the end of 2020. ChoiceOne saw an increase to agricultural loans inof $9.7 million and commercial real estate loans of $16.1 million during the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021. The other changes resulted from normal fluctuations in borrower activity.

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 ~~$6.8~~$6.0 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$10.4~~$6.8 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and $7.9 million as of December 31, 2020. The change in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 was primarily comprised of a decrease of ~~$1.9~~$2.8 million in impaired commercial real estate impaired loans and a ~~$1.5~~$1.4 million decline in commercial and industrial impaired loans offset by a ~~$2.8~~$2.7 million increase in agricultural impaired loans.

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 ("TDRs").

The balances of these nonperforming loans were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30,		December 31,		September 30,		December 31,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis	$	1,923	$	6,707	$	1,731	$	6,707
Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments		-		-		-		-
Loans defined as "troubled debt restructurings " which are not included above		5,012		1,537		4,610		1,537
Total	$	6,935	$	8,244	$	6,341	$	8,244

The reduction in the balance of nonaccrual loans in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 was primarily due to loans that were paid off. The increase in the TDR loans balance in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 was primarily due to a ~~$2.3~~$2.2 million increase in TDR agricultural loans. ~~Approximately 93% of the balance~~97% of loans considered TDRs were performing according to their restructured terms as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Management believes the allowance for loan losses allocated to its nonperforming loans is sufficient at ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

In March of 2020, the ~~CARES~~Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed into law. Among other things, the CARES Act provides that certain loans subject to modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic need not be classified as TDRs. Further, the federal banking agencies issued an “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” on March 22, 2020, followed by a revised statement on April 7, 2020, providing in part that short-term modifications to loans made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of the statements are not considered TDRs. As a result of the ~~COVID-19~~ pandemic, ~~the Company~~ChoiceOne provided a modification program to borrowers that included certain concessions such as interest only payments or payment deferrals. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, all deferments had resumed payments in accordance with loan terms.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated annually for impairment and on an interim basis if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge would be recognized for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. Accounting pronouncements allow a company to first perform a qualitative assessment for goodwill prior to a quantitative assessment (Step 1 assessment). If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, then a quantitative assessment must be performed. If not, there is no further assessment required. ~~The~~ ChoiceOne acquired Valley Ridge Financial Corp. in 2006, County in 2019, and Community Shores in 2020, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $13.7 million, $38.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

Due to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and any long term economic fallout that might occur, ChoiceOne engaged a third-party valuation firm to perform a quantitative analysis of goodwill as of November 30, 2020 ("the valuation date"). In deriving the fair value of the reporting unit (ChoiceOne), the third-party firm assessed general economic conditions and outlook; industry and market considerations and outlook; the impact of recent events to financial performance; the market price of ChoiceOne’s common stock and other relevant events. In addition, the valuation relied on financial projections through 2025 and growth rates prepared by management. Based on the valuation prepared, it was determined that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit at the valuation date was greater than its book value and impairment of goodwill was not required.

Management performed its annual qualitative assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2021. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of ChoiceOne's operations was less than the carrying amount, management assessed the relevant events and circumstances such as the ones noted in ASC 350-20-35-3c. The analysis consisted of a review of ChoiceOne’s current and expected future financial performance, the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the ability of ChoiceOne’s borrowers to comply with loan terms, and the impact that reductions in both short-term and long-term interest rates have had and may continue to have on net interest margin and mortgage sales activity. The share price and book value of ChoiceOne’s stock were also compared to the prior year. Management also compared average deal values for recent closed bank transactions to ChoiceOne transactions. Despite ChoiceOne's market capitalization declining slightly from November 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021, ChoiceOne's financial performance remained positive. In assessing the totality of the events and circumstances, management determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of ChoiceOne’s operations, from a qualitative perspective, exceeded the carrying value as of June 30, 2021 and impairment of goodwill was not necessary.

ChoiceOne’s stock price per share was less than its book value as of September 30, 2021. This indicated that goodwill may be impaired and resulted in management performing another qualitative goodwill impairment assessment as of the end of the third quarter of 2021. As a result of the analysis, management concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit was greater than the carrying value. This was evidenced by the strong financial indicators, solid credit quality ratios, as well as the strong capital position of ChoiceOne. In addition, ~~second quarter and~~revenue in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021 ~~revenue~~ reflected significant and continuing growth in ChoiceOne's interest income, as well as net ~~SBA~~Small Business Administration fees related to ~~PPP~~Paycheck Protection Program loans. ~~In assessing~~Based on the ~~totality~~results of the ~~events and circumstances,~~qualitative analysis, management ~~determined~~believed that ita quantitative analysis was ~~more likely than~~ not ~~that the fair value of the ChoiceOne’s operations, from a qualitative perspective, exceeded the carrying value~~necessary as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Deposits and Borrowings

Total deposits increased ~~$206.2~~$131.4 million in the third quarter and $337.6 million in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021. The change in checking and savings accounts was due in part to funds related to the stimulus package included in the CARES Act as well as funds on deposit from the PPP loans that were not fully utilized as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. ~~Seasonal fluctuations~~

In September 2021, ChoiceOne completed a private placement of $32.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031. ChoiceOne intends to use net proceeds of the private placement for ~~ChoiceOne’s depositors also contributed~~general corporate purposes, including support for organic growth plans, possible redemption of senior debt, common stock repurchases, and support for bank-level capital ratios. ChoiceOne used a portion of the proceeds from the private placement to ~~the growth in 2021 as tax refunds typically come in~~pay off $2.6 million other outstanding debt during the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~the year.~~

~~Total borrowings declined $6.7 million in the first half of 2021 as ChoiceOne made payments on its holding company term loan.~~2021. ChoiceOne also holds $3.1 million in subordinated debentures ~~obtained in the merger with Community Shores~~ issued in connection with a $4.5 million ~~subordinated debentures~~trust preferred securities offering, which were obtained in the merger with Community Shores, offset by the merger mark-to-market adjustment. ChoiceOne may use Federal Home Loan Bank advances and advances from the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window to meet short-term funding needs if needed in the remainder of 2021.

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders' equity ~~increased $1.3~~declined $2.2 million in the first ~~half~~nine months of 2021. Accumulated other comprehensive income declined ~~$4.2~~$9.1 million in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 as a result of market value declines in ChoiceOne’s available for sale securities. The change was caused by increases in certain general market interest rates insince the ~~first three months~~beginning of ~~2021 which have partially reversed in the three months ended June 30,~~ 2021. The reduction in common stock and paid in capital resulted from ChoiceOne's repurchase of ~~115,701~~approximately

In addition to paying off $2.6 million of other outstanding debt in the third quarter of 2021, $5.0 million of proceeds from the private placement of subordinated notes was downstreamed to the Bank during the third quarter of 2021 to strengthen its capital levels. The Board of Directors and management believe that the capital levels as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 are adequate for the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors’ 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 by operating activities was ~~$17.1~~$28.9 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 compared to net cash used of ~~$5.3~~$20.3 million in the same period a year ago. The change was primarily due to a ~~$7.6~~$5.5 million ~~positive change~~increase in ~~other assets~~income and ~~a $7.0~~$37.7 million higher ~~balance in~~ net proceeds from loan sales in 2021 compared to 2020. Net cash used in investing activities was ~~$194.6~~$398.6 million for the ~~first half~~three quarters of 2021 compared to ~~$131.3~~$98.0 million in the same period in 2020. ChoiceOne had ~~$322.0~~$514.2 million of securities purchases and sold $0 of securities in the first ~~half~~three quarters of 2021 compared to ~~$144.9~~$183.1 and $121.9 in the same period in the last ~~year.~~year, respectively. A decline in net loan originations and payments led to cash provided of ~~$100.8~~$78.0 million in the first ~~half~~three quarters of 2021 compared to cash used of ~~$105.2~~$108.5 million in the same period during the prior year. Cash used in the prior year period related to loan originations was largely due to PPP loans. Net cash provided by financing activities was ~~$193.2~~$350.0 million infor the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$143.9~~$176.6 million in the same period in the prior year. Higher growth of ~~$36.5~~$133.6 million in deposits in the first ~~half~~three quarters of 2021, a $25.0 million increase in borrowings and ~~$16.3~~$21.2 million less in net payments on borrowings contributed to the change.

ChoiceOne believes that the current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet ChoiceOne 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, advances available from the Federal H~~ome~~Home Loan Bank, and secured lines of credit available from the Federal Reserve Bank.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This report contains references to certain financial measures excluding tax-effected merger expenses, each of which is a financial measure that is not defined in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in helping to understand the underlying financial performance of ChoiceOne.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious with respect to the use of such measures. To compensate for these limitations, we use non-GAAP measures as comparative tools, together with GAAP measures, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance or financial condition. Also, we ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety and that they are computed in a manner intended to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. ChoiceOne’s method of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP or in-effect regulatory requirements.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures follows:

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

(Unaudited)

The non-GAAP measures presented in the table below reflect the adjustments of the reported U.S. GAAP results for significant items that management does not believe are reflective of ChoiceOne’s current and ongoing operations.

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 as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. 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~~September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, ChoiceOne’s internal control over financial reporting.
