NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (“ChoiceOne”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, prevailing practices within the banking industry and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments ordinary in nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Loans to Other Financial Institutions - The 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 the Bank’s participating interest. If the advance (in which the 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. The participating interests are subject to concentration risk to 8 different mortgage bankers, with the largest creditor outstanding representing 44% of the total at June 30, 2018.
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, the Bank reviews the portfolio 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). At June 30, 2018, there was one participating interest in loans to other financial institutions totaling $254,000 that was over 30 days. Since the inception of the program, there were no 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 is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, assessments of the impact of current economic conditions on the portfolio and historical loss experience of seasoned loan portfolios. See Note 3 to the interim consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Management believes the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a “critical accounting estimate” because (1) the estimate is highly susceptible to change from period to period because of assumptions concerning the changes in the types and volumes of the portfolios and economic conditions and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on ChoiceOne’s assets reported on the balance sheets as well as its net income.

Stock Transactions
A total of 2,709 shares of common stock were issued to ChoiceOne’s Board of Directors for a cash price of $68,000 under the terms of the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan in the first six months of 2018. A total of 1,824 shares for a cash price of $40,000 were issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan in the first half of 2018. A total of 809 shares were issued upon the exercise of stock options in the first six months of 2018. A total of 7,304 shares were issued to employees for Restricted Stock Units that vested during the first half of 2018.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective July 1, 2013, ChoiceOne began granting Restricted Stock Units to a select group of employees under the Stock Incentive Plan of 2012. All of the Restricted Stock Units are initially unvested and vest in three annual installments on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date. Certain additional vesting provisions apply. Each unit, once vested, is settled by delivery of one share of ChoiceOne common stock.
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 Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU adopts a standardized approach for revenue recognition and was a joint effort with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The new revenue recognition standard is based on a core principle of recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU does not apply to financial instruments. Management implemented ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 by identifying revenue streams in scope of the guidance, including interchange revenue, deposit service charges, and investment advisory income, but the timing and amount of these revenue streams were not significantly changed upon adoption.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The ASU covers various changes to the accounting, measurement, and disclosure related to certain financial instruments. The most significant change included in the update is the requirement for certain equity investments (excluding investments that are consolidated or accounted for under the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. An entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost, minus impairment. When a qualitative assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. The update also eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The company implemented ASU 2016-01 effective January 1, 2018. A cumulative-effect adjustment was recorded as of January 1, 2018 to reclassify $244,000 of unrealized gains on equity securities from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Equity securities have also been presented separately from available for sale debt securities on the June 30, 2018 balance sheet and the fair value of loans has been estimated using an exit price notion in Note 5.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. As ChoiceOne owns most of its branch locations, the impact of this ASU is not expected to be material.
The 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 current generally accepted accounting principles (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, 2019, and for interim periods within those years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this new ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

ChoiceOne reviews its securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine whether unrealized losses are considered to be temporary or other-than-temporary. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. ChoiceOne believed that unrealized losses on securities were temporary in nature and were due to changes in interest rates and reduced market liquidity and not as a result of credit quality issues.

The process to monitor the credit quality of ChoiceOne’s loan portfolio includes tracking (1) the risk ratings of business loans, (2) the level of classified business loans, and (3) delinquent and nonperforming consumer loans. Business loans are risk rated on a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the characteristics of the ratings follows:
Risk ratings 1 and 2: These loans are considered pass credits. They exhibit good to exceptional credit risk and demonstrate the ability to repay the loan from normal business operations.
Risk rating 3: These loans are considered pass credits. They exhibit acceptable credit risk and demonstrate the ability to repay the loan from normal business operations.
Risk rating 4: These loans are considered pass credits. However, they have potential developing weaknesses that, if not corrected, may cause deterioration in the ability of the borrower to repay the loan. While a loss is possible for a loan with this rating, it is not anticipated.
Risk rating 5: These loans are considered special mention credits. Loans in this risk rating are considered to be inadequately protected by the net worth and debt service coverage of the borrower or of any pledged collateral. These loans have well defined weaknesses that may jeopardize the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. If the weaknesses are not corrected, loss of principal and interest could be probable.
Risk rating 6: These loans are considered substandard credits. These loans have well defined weaknesses, the severity of which makes collection of principal and interest in full questionable. Loans in this category may be placed on nonaccrual status.
Risk rating 7: These loans are considered doubtful credits. Some loss of principal and interest has been determined to be probable. The estimate of the amount of loss could be affected by factors such as the borrower’s ability to provide additional capital or collateral. Loans in this category are on nonaccrual status.
Risk rating 8: These loans are considered loss credits. They are considered uncollectible and will be charged off against the allowance for loan losses.

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

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 the Bank has the ability to access.
Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Bank’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
There were no liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. Disclosures concerning assets measured at fair value are as follows:

Of the Level 3 assets that were held by the company as available for sale at June 30, 2018, the net unrealized gain as of June 30, 2018 was $84,000, which is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet. A total of $231,000 of Level 3 securities were purchased in the six months ended June 30, 2018.
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 equity securities of community banks. The company estimates the fair value of these bonds based on the present value of expected future cash flows using management’s best estimate of key assumptions, including forecasted interest yield and payment rates, credit quality and a discount rate commensurate with the current market and other risks involved.
The company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not normally measured at fair value, but can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as impairment. Disclosures concerning assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are as follows:

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

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion is designed to provide a review of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (“ChoiceOne”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Bank (the "Bank"), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related notes.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion and other sections of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and ChoiceOne itself. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "is likely," "plans," "predicts," "projects," "may," "could," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Management’s determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of goodwill and loan servicing rights, the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary) and management’s assumptions concerning pension and other postretirement benefit plans involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("risk factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood, and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, ChoiceOne undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. These are representative of the risk factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary
Net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $1,833,000, which represented an increase of $198,000 or 12% compared to the same period in 2017. Net income for the first six months of 2018 was $3,491,000, which represented an increase of $410,000 or 13% compared to the first half of the prior year. Growth in net interest income was offset by a decline in noninterest income and growth in noninterest expense in both the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017. The reduction in ChoiceOne’s corporate tax rate also contributed to the higher net income in 2018. Basic earnings per common share were $0.51 for the second quarter and $0.97 for the first six months of 2018, compared to $0.45 for the second quarter and $0.85 for the first half of the prior year. Earnings per share for 2018 were adjusted for the 5% stock dividend paid in May 2018 and per share amounts for 2017 were adjusted for the 5% stock dividends paid in May 2018 and May 2017. The return on average assets and return on average shareholders’ equity percentages were 1.12% and 9.20%, respectively, for the first six months of 2018, compared to 0.99% and 8.35%, respectively, for the same period in 2017.
Dividends
Cash dividends of $651,000 or $0.18 per share were declared in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $587,000 or an adjusted $0.16 per share in the second quarter of 2017. The cash dividends declared in the first six months of 2018 were $1,270,000 or an adjusted $0.35 per share, compared to $1,144,000 or an adjusted $0.31 per share in the same period in the prior year. The per share amounts for 2018 were adjusted for the 5% stock dividend paid in May 2018 and the per share amounts for the prior year were adjusted for the 5% stock dividends paid in May 2018 and May 2017. The cash dividend payout percentage was 36% in the first six months of 2018 and 37% 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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Table 1 documents ChoiceOne’s average balances and interest income and expense, as well as the average rates earned or paid on assets and liabilities. Table 2 documents the effect on interest income and expense of changes in volume (average balance) and interest rates. These tables are referred to in the discussion of interest income, interest expense and net interest income.

(2) | Interest on nontaxable investment securities and loans has been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis using an incremental tax rate of 21% for 2018 and 34% for 2017. |
Net Interest Income
The presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), but is customary in the banking industry. This non-GAAP measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt loans and investment securities. The adjustments to determine net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis were $127,000 and $366,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These adjustments were computed using a 21% federal income tax rate in 2018 and a 34% federal income tax rate in 2017.
Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $706,000 in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The effect of growth in average loans partially offset by lower average securities was supplemented by a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year. The net interest spread increased by 16 basis points from 3.55% in the first six months of 2017 to 3.71% in the first half of 2018 and caused tax-equivalent net interest income to increase by $450,000 in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year.
The average balance of loans increased $17.5 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. Average commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans drove this growth with an increase of $13.4 million during the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017. Average consumer loans grew $1.7 million while average residential mortgage loans increased $2.4 million. The increase in the average loans balance was complemented by a 33 basis point increase in the average rate earned. This caused tax-equivalent interest income from loans to increase $650,000 in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balance of total securities declined $14.4 million in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The decline was primarily due to the sale of approximately $35 million of securities in the fourth quarter of 2017. The effect of the average balance decline, offset by a 9 basis point increase in the average rate earned on securities, caused tax-equivalent securities income to decrease $114,000 in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.
24 |
The average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased $2.0 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. In addition to the higher average balance, an increase of 6 basis points in the average rate paid caused interest expense to increase $72,000 in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The average balance of certificates of deposit declined $4.3 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit resulted from a reduction in the average balance of brokered certificates of deposit by $10.0 million, while the average balance of local certificates of deposit grew $5.7 million in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The decline in the average balance of certificates of deposit was more than offset by a 41 basis point increase in the average rate paid on certificates, which caused interest expense to increase $197,000 in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The effect of an $8.5 million reduction in the average balance on advances of Federal Home Loan Bank was partially offset by the impact of a 62 basis point increase in the average rate paid and caused interest expense to decrease $5,000 in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. An increase of 78 basis points in the average rate paid on other interest-bearing liabilities caused interest expense to grow by $19,000.
ChoiceOne’s net interest income spread was 3.71% in the first six months of 2018, compared to 3.55% in the first half of 2017. The increase in the interest spread was due to growth of 31 basis points in the average rate earned on interest earning assets, partially offset by a 15 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Increases in short-term interest rates were the primary factor for the higher average rates for both interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
Total loans decreased $2.9 million in the first six months of 2018, while the allowance for loan losses increased $82,000 during the same period. The provision for loan losses was $0 in the second quarter and $35,000 in the first six months of 2018, compared to $25,000 in the second quarter and $25,000 in the first six months of 2017. Nonperforming loans were $3.7 million as of June 30, 2018, compared to $4.1 million as of March 31, 2018, and $4.3 million as of December 31, 2017. The small decline in nonperforming loans in the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to reductions in nonaccrual loans and loans considered troubled debt restructurings. The allowance for loan losses was 1.18% of total loans at June 30, 2018, compared to 1.22% at March 31, 2018, and 1.15% at December 31, 2017.
Charge-offs and recoveries for respective loan categories for the six months ended June 30 were as follows:

$ | 189 | $ | 236 | $ | 533 | $ | 329 |
Net charge-offs of $50,000 and net recoveries of $48,000 were recorded in the second quarter and first six months of 2018 respectively, compared to net charge-offs of $252,000 and $204,000 in the second quarter and first six months of 2017. Net recoveries on an annualized basis as a percentage of average loans were 0.02% in the first half of 2018, compared to net charge-offs of 0.11% 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 has worked and intends to continue to work with delinquent borrowers in an attempt to lessen the negative impact to ChoiceOne. As charge-offs, changes in the level of nonperforming loans, and changes within the composition of the loan portfolio occur throughout 2018, the provision and allowance for loan losses will be reviewed by the Bank's management and adjusted as determined to be necessary.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income decreased $221,000 in the second quarter and $305,000 in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017. Insurance and investment commissions income was $366,000 lower in the first half of 2018 than in the same period in the prior year as a result of the sale of a majority of the Bank’s investment book of business in the fourth quarter of 2017. Gains on sales of securities were $101,000 lower in the first six months of 2018 than in the same period in 2017 as higher interest rates have caused an unrealized loss in the Bank’s securities portfolio. Partially offsetting these declines was growth in customer service charges income in the first six months of the current year compared to the same period in the prior year.
25 |
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense increased $335,000 in the second quarter and $630,000 in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017. Salaries and benefits expense was $422,000 higher in the first half of 2018 than in the first half of the prior year. The salaries and benefits growth was primarily due to annual wage increases as well as staffing additions in preparation for two additional branch locations which are scheduled to open later in 2018. The $193,000 increase in other noninterest expense resulted in part from higher expenses related to training and loan originations and collections.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $642,000 in the first six months of 2018 compared to $1,052,000 for the same period in 2017. The effective tax rate was 15.5% for 2018 and 25.5% for 2017. The decline in income tax expense was due to the impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act passed in December 2017, which adjusted the ChoiceOne’s statutory rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Securities
Total securities declined $2.5 million in the second quarter and grew $9.4 million in the first six months of 2018. The increase in the securities portfolio in the first half of 2018 resulted from ChoiceOne’s desire to supplement growth in earning assets and to replace some of the $35 million in securities sold in the fourth quarter of 2017. Securities purchases slowed in the second quarter of 2018 as the Bank’s investment opportunities were limited by changes occurring in market interest rates. Various securities totaling $21.2 million were purchased in the first six months of 2018, partially offset by approximately $4.6 million called or matured during that same time period. Principal repayments on securities totaled $1.4 million in the first half of 2018. Approximately $2.7 million of securities were sold in the first six months of 2018 for a net gain of $25,000. Due to rising interest rates in the first half of 2018, the Bank’s unrealized gain of $0.2 million as of December 31, 2017 declined to an unrealized loss of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2018.
Loans
After declining in the first quarter of 2018, the loan portfolio (excluding loans held for sale and loans to other financial institutions) grew $9.5 million in the second quarter of 2018 for a net decline in loans of $2.9 million in the first six months of 2018. In the first half of 2018, decreases of $9.1 million, $7.4 million, $2.9 million, and $0.3 million in agricultural loans, commercial and industrial loans, construction real estate loans, and consumer loans, respectively, were partially offset by growth of $12.7 million in commercial real estate loans and $4.1 million in residential real estate loans. The decrease in agricultural loans was primarily due to seasonal pay downs by borrowers. 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 $4.3 million as of June 30, 2018, compared to $4.4 million as of March 31, 2018, and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2017. The small decline in the second quarter of 2018 was caused by a $147,000 decrease in residential real estate loans classified as impaired.
As part of its review of the loan portfolio, management also monitors the various nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans are comprised of: (1) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; (2) loans, not included in nonaccrual loans, which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments; and (3) loans, not included in nonaccrual or loans past due 90 days or more, which are considered troubled debt restructurings.

The balances of these nonperforming loans were as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) | June 30, | December 31, | ||||||
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis | $ | 1,140 | $ | 1,096 | ||||

Loans considered troubled debt restructurings | 2,572 | 2,896 | ||||||
Total | $ | 3,712 | $ | 4,250 |
At June 30, 2018, nonaccrual loans included $421,000 in agricultural loans, $39,000 in commercial and industrial loans, $138,000 in commercial real estate loans, and $542,000 in residential real estate loans. At December 31, 2017, nonaccrual loans included $423,000 in agricultural loans, $222,000 in commercial and industrial loans, $15,000 in consumer loans, and $436,000 in residential real estate loans. Approximately 91% of the balance of loans considered troubled debt restructurings was performing according to their restructured terms as of June 30, 2018. Management believes the allowance allocated to its nonperforming loans is sufficient at June 30, 2018.
Deposits and Borrowings
Total deposits decreased $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $11.9 million since the end of 2017. Checking and savings deposits decreased $28.2 million, while certificates of deposit grew $16.3 million in the first six months of 2018. The decline in checking and savings accounts was primarily due to seasonal fluctuations for ChoiceOne’s depositors which is a normal occurrence in the first half of the year. $14.9 million of the growth in certificates of deposit in the first half of 2018 was caused by increased brokered certificates of deposit. Brokered deposits were obtained in the first six months of 2018 to supplement the decrease in local deposits.
The balance of repurchase agreements declined from $7.1 million to $0 in the first six months of 2018. The reduction resulted from normal fluctuations in funds provided by bank customers and from transfers to deposit accounts offered by the Bank. The balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances was virtually the same at June 30, 2018 as it was at the end of 2017. The Bank continued to use this resource as an offset to the decline in local deposits.
Shareholders’ Equity
Total shareholders’ equity declined $282,000 from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018. An other comprehensive loss of $2.4 million in the first six months of 2018 was caused by an increase in general market interest rates, which negatively impacted the market value of the Bank’s available for sale securities. Share repurchases totaling $523,000 also occurred in the first half of 2018. Partially offsetting these was the first half of 2018’s net income, net of cash dividends declared.

Management reviews the capital levels of ChoiceOne and the Bank on a regular basis. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) and management believe that the capital levels as of June 30, 2018 are adequate for the foreseeable future. The Board’s determination of appropriate cash dividends for future periods will be based on, among other things, market conditions and ChoiceOne’s requirements for cash and capital.
Liquidity
Net cash provided from operating activities was $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $3.4 million provided in the same period a year ago. The increase was due to higher proceeds from loan sales in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year. Net cash used for investing activities was $12.8 million for the first half of 2018 compared to $18.4 million in the same period in 2017. The change was due to less loan growth in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. Net cash used in financing activities was $16.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $17.2 million in the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily caused by a decline in deposits in the first half of the current year in contrast to growth in the same period in the prior year.
Management believes that the current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet the Bank's normal operating needs. This belief is based upon the availability of deposits from both the local and national markets, maturities of securities, normal loan repayments, income retention, federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, and advances available from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Bank also has a secured line of credit available from the Federal Reserve Bank.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of ChoiceOne’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ChoiceOne’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on and as of the time of that evaluation, ChoiceOne’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, concluded that ChoiceOne’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that ChoiceOne files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that ChoiceOne files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including ChoiceOne’s principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in ChoiceOne’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, ChoiceOne’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which ChoiceOne or the Bank is a party or to which any of their properties are subject, except for proceedings that arose in the ordinary course of business. In the belief of management, pending or current legal proceedings should not have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition of ChoiceOne.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Information concerning risk factors is contained in the discussion in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. As of the date of this report, ChoiceOne does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of ChoiceOne's risk factors, as compared to the information disclosed in ChoiceOne’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On April 25, 2018, ChoiceOne issued 703 shares of common stock, without par value, to the directors of ChoiceOne pursuant to the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan for an aggregate cash price of $18,000. On May 22, 2018, ChoiceOne issued 1,368 shares of common stock, without par value, to the directors of ChoiceOne pursuant to the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan for an aggregate cash price of $35,000. ChoiceOne relied on the exemption contained in Section 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with these sales.
