Annual Report to Shareholders for the Year Ended December 31, 2000 (Form 10-K,
Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part IV)
PART I
Item 1. Business
Capital Directions, 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 August 11, 1987 and formed for the purpose of
enabling Mason State Bank (the "Bank") to form a one-bank holding company and
engage in any other related activity allowed. Mason State Bank was consolidated
with Mason Bank on July 22, 1988, thereby causing Mason State Bank to become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant.
Mason State Bank purchased Lakeside Insurance Services, Inc. in 1994 to take
advantage of the expanded insurance powers granted to banks in 1994. Lakeside is
licensed in Michigan to sell life, accident and health, multiple line property
and casualty insurance and variable annuity contracts.
The Registrant has no substantial assets except the investments in Mason State
Bank. The Registrant and its primary subsidiary, Mason State Bank, operate in
the banking industry, which accounts for substantially all of their assets,
revenues and operating income. Further discussion of the operations of the
Registrant and its subsidiaries is discussed under "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the 2000 Annual
Report to the Shareholders, incorporated herein by reference. The Registrant's
primary competition is substantially the same as Mason State Bank's as discussed
below.
The Bank was organized in 1886 under the laws of Michigan and is subject to the
Michigan Banking Code of 1969. It is insured by the Bank Insurance Fund through
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank is regulated by the Michigan
Office of Financial and Insurance Services and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. The Federal Reserve Board regulates the Registrant. The Bank's
Principal office is located at 322 South Jefferson Street, Mason, Michigan. It
operates branches at 661 North Cedar Street, Mason, Michigan and at 810 W.
Bellevue, Leslie, Michigan.
Banking services are provided to individuals, businesses, local state and
federal governmental units and institutional customers located in Mason, Leslie
and the surrounding areas. Services include demand deposits, savings and time
deposits, collections, cash management, night depositories and personal,
installment, commercial and real estate loans. The Bank offers a credit card
program affiliated with the Visa and MasterCharge Inter-Bank charge card system.
The Bank maintains a correspondent relationship with several of the major banks
in the Detroit area and elsewhere, in order to provide for the clearance of
checks, the transfer of funds, the periodic purchase and sale of Federal funds,
and participation in large loans which would be beyond the Bank's legal lending
limit if made by the Bank alone.
The Bank has full and part-time employees (36 full-time equivalents) and owns
its main office and Cedar Street office. The facility in Leslie is operated
under a lease agreement. The Bank operates primarily within Ingham County.
Competing with the Bank in Ingham County are several other commercial banks and
financial institutions, some of which have significantly greater total resources
than the Bank.

III. Loan Portfolio
(A) A table of loans outstanding as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 is
set forth in Note 4 on page 19 of the 2000 Annual Report to
Shareholders. Such information is incorporated herein by reference.
The loan portfolio is systematically reviewed and the results
reported to the Board of Directors of the Registrant. The purpose
of these reviews is to assist in assuring proper loan
documentation, to provide for the early identification of potential
problem loans and to help ensure the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses.
(B) The following table sets forth the remaining maturity of loans
outstanding (excluding real estate mortgages, installment and lease
financing) at December 31, 2000, according to scheduled payments of
principal (in thousands) and considering the banks "rollover

(1) The "rollover policy" is to generally write terms of these
loans for a shorter time than the expected payments. The
purpose of this is to re-evaluate the term and credit of the
respective borrower. We estimate that this happens on
approximately 80% of these borrowings and is reflected as
such in this schedule.
(C). Risk Elements
(1). Nonaccrual, Past Due, Impaired and Restructured Loans.
A table and discussion of nonaccrual, past due, impaired and
restructured loans for the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999 is in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" on page 9 under
Provision and allowance for loan losses, Note 1 under "Loans"
and "Allowance for Loan Losses" on pages 17 and 18 and in

III. Loan Portfolio (continued)
There were no nonaccrual loans reported for the year ended
December 31, 2000.
(2). Potential Problem Loans
There are no material loans that are current as to which

borrower to comply with the loan repayment terms, or which
are expected to need adjustments in their repayment terms, or
which are believed to require additional reserves in the
allowance for loan losses.
(3). Foreign Outstandings
There were no foreign outstandings as of December 31, 2000.
(4). Loan Concentrations
There were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total

assets that would be required to be disclosed under Item III,

Mason State Bank is committed to the maintenance of an allowance
for loan losses in amounts sufficient to absorb loan and lease
losses inherent in the loan portfolio. To assure the adequacy of
balances and the resulting provision allocations, measurements
against historical performance and current analyses of asset
quality are undertaken on a periodic basis with consideration for
qualitative factors. These evaluations support the budgeted
allowance provisions and the traditional philosophy of accounting
for losses as they are recognized.
On a predetermined basis, a Loan Loss Allowance Model (LLAM) is
completed quarterly for the Bank. The results of the LLAM provide
a consistent management tool for quantifying the amount of risk in
the loan portfolio. This LLAM computes a suggested allowance
balance to be compared to the actual allowance for loan losses.
The difference between the suggested and actual allowance is
monitored and maintained at an amount considered reasonable to
provide for potential losses inherent in the portfolio.
To determine the suggested allowance balance, two tests are
applied to the various loan categories. The test with the most
conservative (greatest) allowance allocation is selected for each
category. The two tests are then combined with a separate
qualitative factor spread against all loan categories.
The first test includes establishment of a minimum allocation
percentage for each loan (primarily commercial) based upon its
loan grade. The second test involves computing the actual loss
experience over the last five years for each of the loan
categories (primarily consumer and residential real estate loans).
The factor applied to the current outstanding loan balances of
these loan categories is equal to at least the five-year average
of net charge-offs to average loans for the appropriate loan
portfolio.
When economic conditions or other factors warrant, a qualitative
factor is applied against all loan categories. Management declared
that such a factor be instituted for 2000 and 1999 given the
unprecedented nine year expansion of the United States economy and
the expectation of a reversal of this trend in the near future.
The factor applied to the current outstanding of all loan balances
is equal to the eight year average of net charge-offs to average
loans for the eight year period prior to the start of the current
economic expansion (years 1984 through 1991).
The allowance allocations above were deemed by management to be
amounts reasonably necessary to provide for the inherent losses in
the various loan categories as of December 31, 2000 and 1999.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
Each director of the Company is entitled to receive an annual retainer of
$7,595. In lieu of payment of director fees, certain directors have elected
to participate in a deferred compensation plan adopted in 1986. The plan
was closed to new participants May 18, 1996. Douglas W. Dancer, Marvin B.
Oesterle, and George A. Sullivan elected to participate in the plan which
provides for retirement and death benefits to be paid to the participating
directors or their beneficiaries over fifteen years. Deferred director fees
are used to purchase life insurance policies of which the Bank is the owner
and beneficiary. These life insurance policies are structured to fully fund
the Bank's obligation under the terms of the plan.
