Furthermore, ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. 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 disclosed in Item 1A of this report. These are representative of the risk factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.

PART I

Item 1. | Business

General

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (“ChoiceOne” or the “Company”) is a one-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company was incorporated on February 24, 1986, as a Michigan corporation. The Company was formed to create a bank holding company for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of ChoiceOne Bank (formerly Sparta State Bank), which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on April 6, 1987. The Company’s only subsidiary and significant asset as of December 31, 2015, was ChoiceOne Bank (the “Bank”). Effective November 1, 2006, the Company merged with Valley Ridge Financial Corp. (“VRFC”), a one-bank holding company for Valley Ridge Bank (“VRB”). In the merger, the Company issued shares of its common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of VRFC. In December 2006, VRB was consolidated into the Bank. The Bank owns all of the outstanding common stock of ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc., an independent insurance agency headquartered in Sparta, Michigan (the “Insurance Agency”) and a 25% interest in West Shore Computer Services, Inc., a data processing firm located in Scottville, Michigan.

The Company’s business is primarily concentrated in a single industry segment - banking. The Bank is a full-service banking institution that offers a variety of deposit, payment, credit and other financial services to all types of customers. These services include time, savings, and demand deposits, safe deposit services, and automated transaction machine services. Loans, both commercial and consumer, are extended primarily on a secured basis to corporations, partnerships and individuals. Commercial lending covers such categories as business, industry, agricultural, construction, inventory and real estate. The Bank’s consumer loan department makes direct and indirect loans to consumers and purchasers of residential and real property. No material part of the business of the Company or the Bank is dependent upon a single customer or very few customers, the loss of which would have a materially adverse effect on the Company.

The Bank’s primary market area lies within Kent, Muskegon, Newaygo, and Ottawa counties in Michigan in the communities where the Bank’s offices are located. Currently the Bank serves these markets through twelve full-service offices. The Company and the Bank have no foreign assets or income except for foreign debt securities.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had consolidated total assets of $567.7 million, net loans of $345.1 million, total deposits of $474.7 million and total shareholders’ equity of $69.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized consolidated net income of $5.7 million. The principal source of revenue for the Company and the Bank is interest and fees on loans. On a consolidated basis, interest and fees on loans accounted for 59%, 61%, and 63% of total revenues in 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Interest on securities accounted for 12%, 13%, and 13% of total revenues in 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. For more information about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, see the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

Competition

The Bank’s competition primarily comes from other financial institutions located within Kent, Muskegon, Newaygo, and Ottawa counties in western Michigan. There are a number of larger commercial banks within the Bank’s primary market area. The Bank also competes with a large number of other financial institutions, such as savings and loan associations, insurance companies, consumer finance companies, credit unions and commercial finance and leasing companies for deposits, loans and service business. Money market mutual funds, brokerage houses and nonfinancial institutions provide many of the financial services offered by the Bank. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources than the Bank. The principal methods of competition for financial services are price (the rates of interest charged for loans, the rates of interest paid for deposits and the fees charged for services) and the convenience and quality of services rendered to customers.

Supervision and Regulation

Banks and bank holding companies are extensively regulated. The Company is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”). The Company’s activities are generally limited to owning or controlling banks and engaging in such other activities as the Federal Reserve Board may determine to be closely related to banking. Prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, and in some cases various other government agencies, is required for the Company to acquire control of any additional bank holding companies, banks or other operating subsidiaries. Under Federal Reserve Board policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support it.

The Bank is chartered under state law and is subject to regulation by the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation. State banking laws place restrictions on various aspects of banking, including permitted activities, loan interest rates, branching, payment of dividends and capital and surplus requirements. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is also subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) to the maximum extent provided by law. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, which provides certain advantages to the Bank, including favorable borrowing rates for certain funds.

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The Company’s primary source of funds available to pay dividends to shareholders is dividends paid to it by the Bank. There are legal limitations on the extent to which the Bank can lend or otherwise supply funds to the Company. In addition, payment of dividends to the Company by the Bank is subject to various state and federal regulatory limitations.

The FDIC formed the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) in accordance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (“Reform Act”) to create a stronger and more stable insurance system. The FDIC maintains the insurance reserves of the DIF by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium. The DIF insures deposit accounts of the Bank up to a maximum amount of $250,000 per separately insured depositor. FDIC insured depository institutions are required to pay deposit insurance premiums based on the risk an institution poses to the DIF. In February 2011, the FDIC finalized rules, effective for assessments occurring after April 1, 2011, which redefined an institution’s assessment base as average consolidated total assets minus average Tier 1 capital. The new rules also established the general assessment rate for Risk Category 1 institutions, such as the Bank, at 5 to 9 basis points (annualized).

The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 authorized the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) to impose periodic assessments on all depository institutions. The purpose of these periodic assessments is to spread the cost of the interest payments on the outstanding FICO bonds issued to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”) over a larger number of institutions.

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory “risk-based” capital guidelines. Failure to meet these capital guidelines could subject the Company or the Bank to a variety of enforcement remedies, including issuance of a capital directive, the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, a prohibition on accepting brokered deposits, and other restrictions on its business. In addition, the Bank would generally not receive regulatory approval of any application that requires the consideration of capital adequacy, such as a branch or merger application, unless it could demonstrate a reasonable plan to meet the capital requirement within a reasonable period of time.

| 4 |

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”) requires, among other things, federal banking agencies to take “prompt corrective action” in respect of depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA sets forth the following five capital categories: “well-capitalized,” “adequately-capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly-undercapitalized” and “critically-undercapitalized.” A depository institution’s capital category will depend upon how its capital levels compare with various relevant capital measures as established by regulation, which include Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratio measures and a leverage capital ratio measure. Under certain circumstances, the appropriate banking agency may treat a well-capitalized, adequately-capitalized, or undercapitalized institution as if the institution were in the next lower capital category.

Federal banking regulators are required to take specified mandatory supervisory actions and are authorized to take other discretionary actions with respect to institutions in the three undercapitalized categories. The severity of the action depends upon the capital category in which the institution is placed. Subject to a narrow exception, the banking regulator must generally appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically undercapitalized. An institution in any of the undercapitalized categories is required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its appropriate federal banking agency. An undercapitalized institution is also generally prohibited from paying any dividends, increasing its average total assets, making acquisitions, establishing any branches, accepting or renewing any brokered deposits or engaging in any new line of business, except under an accepted capital restoration plan or with FDIC approval.

On July 3, 2013, the FDIC Board of Directors approved the Regulatory Capital Interim Final Rule, implementing Basel III. This rule redefines Tier 1 capital as two components (Common Equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1), creates a new capital ratio (Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-based Capital Ratio) and implements a capital conservation buffer. It also revises the prompt corrective action thresholds and makes changes to risk weights for certain assets and off-balance-sheet exposures. The Bank was required to transition into the new rule beginning on January 1, 2015.

Banks are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations, which have a material impact on their business. These include, among others, minimum capital requirements, state usury laws, state laws relating to fiduciaries, the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, Office of Foreign Assets Controls regulations, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, electronic funds transfer laws, redlining laws, predatory lending laws, antitrust laws, environmental laws, money laundering laws and privacy laws. The instruments of monetary policy of authorities, such as the Federal Reserve Board, may influence the growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and may also affect interest rates on loans and deposits. These policies may have a significant effect on the operating results of banks.

Bank holding companies may acquire banks and other bank holding companies located in any state in the United States without regard to geographic restrictions or reciprocity requirements imposed by state banking law. Banks may also establish interstate branch networks through acquisitions of and mergers with other banks. The establishment of de novo interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed only if specifically authorized by state law.

Michigan banking laws do not significantly restrict interstate banking. The Michigan Banking Code permits, in appropriate circumstances and with the approval of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services, (1) acquisition of Michigan banks by FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states, (2) sale by a Michigan bank of branches to an FDIC-insured bank, savings bank or savings and loan association located in a state in which a Michigan bank could purchase branches of the purchasing entity, (3) consolidation of Michigan banks and FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states having laws permitting such consolidation, (4) establishment of branches in Michigan by FDIC-insured banks located in other states, the District of Columbia or U.S. territories or protectorates having laws permitting a Michigan bank to establish a branch in such jurisdiction, and (5) establishment by foreign banks of branches located in Michigan.

Effects of Compliance With Environmental Regulations

The nature of the business of the Bank is such that it holds title, on a temporary or permanent basis, to a number of parcels of real property. These include properties owned for branch offices and other business purposes as well as properties taken in or in lieu of foreclosure to satisfy loans in default. Under current state and federal laws, present and past owners of real property may be exposed to liability for the cost of clean up of environmental contamination on or originating from those properties, even if they are wholly innocent of the actions that caused the contamination. These liabilities can be material and can exceed the value of the contaminated property. Management is not presently aware of any instances where compliance with these provisions will have a material effect on the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company or the Bank, or where compliance with these provisions will adversely affect a borrower’s ability to comply with the terms of loan contracts.

As of February 29, 2016, the Company, the Bank and the Insurance Agency employed 151 employees, of which 119 were full-time employees. The Company, the Bank, and the Insurance Agency believe their overall relations with their employees are good.

Totals |  | $ | 57,124 |  |  | $ | 120,601 |  |  | $ | 59,980 |  |  | $ | 237,705 |

Loan maturities are classified according to the contractual maturity date or the anticipated amortization period, whichever is appropriate. The anticipated amortization period is used in the case of loans where a balloon payment is due before the end of the loan’s normal amortization period. At the time the balloon payment is due, the loan can either be rewritten or payment in full can be requested. The decision regarding whether the loan will be rewritten or a payment in full will be requested will be based upon the loan’s payment history, the borrower’s current financial condition, and other relevant factors.

The following schedule presents an allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various loan categories as of the years ended December 31:

(Dollars in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  |  | 2015 |  |  |  | 2014 |  |  |  | 2013 |  |  |  | 2012 |  |  |  | 2011 |

The increase in the allowance allocation to agricultural loans was due to changes in assumptions regarding the industry and economic trends affecting it. The decrease in the allowance allocation to commercial real estate loans was due to a reduction in historical charge-off levels in this loan category. Fluctuations in allowance allocations in the other loan categories were primarily due to changes in historical charge-off levels and environmental factors affecting them.

Management periodically reviews the assumptions, loss ratios and delinquency trends in estimating the appropriate level of its allowance for loan losses and believes the unallocated portion of the total allowance was sufficient at December 31, 2015.

The following schedule presents the stratification of the loan portfolio by category, based on the amount of loans outstanding as a percentage of total loans for the respective years ended December 31:

Item 1A. | Risk Factors

The Company is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Although the Company seeks ways to manage these risks and develop programs to control risks to the extent that management can control them, the Company cannot predict the future. Actual results may differ materially from management’s expectations. Some of these significant risks and uncertainties are discussed below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties of which the Company is unaware, or that it currently does not consider to be material, also may become important factors that affect the Company and its business. If any of these risks were to occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Investments in the Company’s common stock involve risk.

The market price of the Company’s common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, including:

· | Variations in quarterly or annual operating results
· | Changes in dividends per share
· | Changes in interest rates
· | New developments, laws or regulations in the banking industry
· | Acquisitions or business combinations involving the Company or its competition
· | Regulatory actions, including changes to regulatory capital levels, the components of regulatory capital and how regulatory capital is calculated
· | Volatility of stock market prices and volumes
· | Changes in market valuations of similar companies
· | New litigation or contingencies or changes in existing litigation or contingencies
· | Changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies
· | Rumors or erroneous information
· | Credit and capital availability
· | Issuance of additional shares of common stock or other debt or equity securities of the Company

Asset quality could be less favorable than expected.

A significant source of risk for the Company arises from the possibility that losses will be sustained because borrowers, guarantors and related parties may fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loan agreements. Most loans originated by the Company are secured, but some loans are unsecured depending on the nature of the loan. With respect to secured loans, the collateral securing the repayment of these loans includes a wide variety of real and personal property that may be insufficient to cover the obligations owed under such loans. Collateral values may be adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic, environmental and other conditions, including declines in the value of real estate, changes in interest rates, changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, terrorist activity, environmental contamination and other external events.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses.

The risk of nonpayment of loans is inherent in all lending activities and nonpayment of loans may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings and overall financial condition, and the value of its common stock. The Company makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of its loan portfolio and provides an allowance for potential losses based on a number of factors. If its assumptions are wrong, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, and may cause it to increase the allowance in the future. The actual amount of future provisions for loan losses cannot now be determined and may exceed the amounts of past provisions for loan losses. Federal and state banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review the allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require the Company to increase its provision for loan losses or to recognize further loan charge-offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from the Company’s judgments. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses could have a negative effect on the Company’s regulatory capital ratios, net income, financial condition and results of operations.

| 12 |

General economic conditions in the state of Michigan could be less favorable than expected.

The Company is affected by general economic conditions in the United States, although most directly within Michigan. An economic downturn within Michigan could negatively impact household and corporate incomes. This impact may lead to decreased demand for both loan and deposit products and increase the number of customers who fail to pay interest or principal on their loans.

The Company could be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions, including defaults by larger financial institutions.

The Company’s ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships between financial institutions. The Company has exposure to multiple counterparties, and it routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial industry. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, could lead to market-wide liquidity problems and losses or defaults by the Company or by other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk” and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and exchanges, with which the Company interacts on a daily basis, and therefore could adversely affect the Company.

If the Company does not adjust to changes in the financial services industry, its financial performance may suffer.

The Company’s ability to maintain its financial performance and return on investment to shareholders will depend in part on its ability to maintain and grow its core deposit customer base and expand its financial services to its existing customers. In addition to other banks, competitors include credit unions, securities dealers, brokers, mortgage bankers, investment advisors and finance and insurance companies. The increasingly competitive environment is, in part, a result of changes in the economic environment within the state of Michigan, regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial service providers. New competitors may emerge to increase the degree of competition for the Company’s customers and services. Financial services and products are also constantly changing. The Company’s financial performance will also depend in part upon customer demand for the Company’s products and services and the Company’s ability to develop and offer competitive financial products and services.

Changes in interest rates could reduce the Company’s income and cash flow.

The Company’s income and cash flow depends, to a great extent, on the difference between the interest earned on loans and securities, and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Market interest rates are beyond the Company’s control, and they fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies including, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships, will influence the origination of loans, the purchase of investments, the generation of deposits and the rate received on loans and securities and paid on deposits and other borrowings.

The Company is subject to liquidity risk in its operations, which could adversely affect its ability to fund various obligations.

Liquidity risk is the possibility of being unable to meet obligations as they come due or capitalize on growth opportunities as they arise because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding on a timely basis, at a reasonable cost and within acceptable risk tolerances. Liquidity is required to fund various obligations, including credit obligations to borrowers, loan originations, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of debt, dividends to shareholders, operating expenses and capital expenditures. Liquidity is derived primarily from retail deposit growth and earnings retention, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, net cash provided from operations and access to other funding. If the Company is unable to maintain adequate liquidity, then its business, financial condition and results of operations would be negatively affected.

Legislative or regulatory changes or actions, or significant litigation, could adversely impact the Company or the businesses in which it is engaged.

The financial services industry is extensively regulated. The Company and the Bank are subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern almost all aspects of their operations. Laws and regulations may change from time to time and are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors and the deposit insurance fund, and not to benefit the Company’s shareholders. The impact of any changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies may negatively impact the Company or its ability to increase the value of its business. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the 14 imposition of restrictions on the operation of an institution, the classification of assets by the institution and the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for loan losses. Future regulatory changes or accounting pronouncements may increase the Company’s regulatory capital requirements or adversely affect its regulatory capital levels. Additionally, actions by regulatory agencies or significant litigation against the Company or the Bank could require the Company to devote significant time and resources to defending its business and may lead to penalties that materially affect the Company.

| 13 |

The Company relies heavily on its management and other key personnel, and the loss of any of them may adversely affect its operations.

The Company is and will continue to be dependent upon the services of its management team and other key personnel. Losing the services of one or more key members of the Company’s management team could adversely affect its operations.

The Company may be a defendant in a variety of litigation and other actions, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company and the Bank are regularly involved in a variety of litigation arising out of the normal course of business. The Company’s insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against it, and any claims asserted against it, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm its reputation or cause the Company to incur unexpected expenses, which could be material in amount. Should the ultimate expenses, judgments or settlements in any litigation exceed the Company’s insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, nor may it be able to obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all.

If the Company cannot raise additional capital when needed, its ability to further expand its operations through organic growth or acquisitions could be materially impaired.

The Company is required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain specified levels of capital to support its operations. The Company may need to raise additional capital to support its current level of assets or its growth. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside its control, and on its financial performance. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to raise additional capital in the future on terms acceptable to it or at all. If the Company cannot raise additional capital when needed, its ability to maintain its current level of assets or to expand its operations through organic growth or acquisitions could be materially limited.

Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or customer information, whether through a breach of computer systems or otherwise, could severely harm the Company’s business.

As part of its business, the Company collects, processes and retains sensitive and confidential client and customer information on behalf of itself and other third parties. Despite the security measures the Company has in place for its facilities and systems, and the security measures of its third party service providers, the Company may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors or other similar events. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential customer information, whether by the Company or by its vendors, could severely damage the Company’s reputation, expose it to the risks of litigation and liability, disrupt the Company’s operations and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company’s information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security.

The Company relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business and deliver its products. Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in the Company’s customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. While the Company has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption or security breach of its information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions or security breaches of the Company’s information systems or its customers’ information or computer systems would not damage the Company’s reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject the Company to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose the Company to civil litigation and financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental liability associated with commercial lending could result in losses.

In the course of its business, the Company may acquire, through foreclosure, properties securing loans it has originated or purchased that are in default. Particularly in commercial real estate lending, there is a risk that hazardous substances could be discovered on these properties. In this event, the Company might be required to remove these substances from the affected properties at the Company’s sole cost and expense. The cost of this removal could substantially exceed the value of affected properties. The Company may not have adequate remedies against the prior owner or other responsible parties and could find it difficult or impossible to sell the affected properties. These events could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company depends upon the accuracy and completeness of information about customers.

In deciding whether to extend credit to customers, the Company relies on information provided to it by its customers, including financial statements and other financial information. The Company may also rely on representations of customers as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and on reports of independent auditors on financial statements. The Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted to the extent that the Company extends credit in reliance on financial statements that do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles or that are misleading or other information provided by customers that is false or misleading.

The Company operates in a highly competitive industry and market area.

The Company faces substantial competition in all areas of its operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more financial resources. Such competitors primarily include national and regional banks within the various markets where the Company operates, as well as internet banks. The Company also faces competition from many other types of financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies and other financial intermediaries. The financial services industry could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued consolidation. Banks, securities firms and insurance companies can merge under the umbrella of a financial holding company, which can offer virtually any type of financial service, including banking, securities underwriting, insurance (both agency and underwriting) and merchant banking. The Company competes with these institutions both in attracting deposits and in making new loans. Technology has lowered barriers to entry into the market and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Many of the Company’s competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures, such as credit unions that are not subject to federal income tax. Due to their size, many competitors may be able to achieve economies of scale and, as a result, may offer a broader range of products and services as well as better pricing for those products and services than the Company can.

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external events could significantly impact the Company’s business.

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to conduct business. Such events could affect the stability of the Company’s deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue and/or cause the Company to incur additional expenses.

The Company relies on dividends from the Bank for most of its revenue.

The Company is a separate and distinct legal entity from the Bank. It receives substantially all of its revenue from dividends from the Bank. These dividends are the principal source of funds to pay cash dividends on the Company’s common stock. Various federal and/or state laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay to the Company. If the Bank is unable to pay dividends to the Company, the Company may not be able to pay cash dividends on its common stock. The earnings of the Bank have been the principal source of funds to pay cash dividends to shareholders. Over the long-term, cash dividends to shareholders are dependent upon earnings, as well as capital requirements, regulatory restraints and other factors affecting the Company and the Bank.

Additional risks and uncertainties could have a negative effect on financial performance.

Additional factors could have a negative effect on the financial performance of the Company and the Company’s common stock. Some of these factors are financial market conditions, changes in financial accounting and reporting standards, new litigation or changes in existing litigation, regulatory actions and losses.

|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |
First Quarter |  | $ | 0.15 |  | $ | 0.14 |

Fourth Quarter |  |  | 0.17 |  |  | 0.15 |
Total |  | $ | 0.66 |  | $ | 0.59 |

ChoiceOne’s principal source of funds to pay cash dividends is the earnings and dividends paid by the Bank. The Bank is restricted in its ability to pay cash dividends under current banking regulations. See Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of these restrictions. Based on information presently available, management expects ChoiceOne to declare and pay regular quarterly cash dividends in 2016, although the amount of the quarterly dividends will be dependent on market conditions and ChoiceOne’s requirements for cash and capital, among other things.

On October 28, 2015, the Company issued 788 shares of common stock to its directors pursuant to the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan for an aggregate cash price of $18,000. The Company relied on the exemption contained in Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with these sales.

Item 7. 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, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank and the Insurance Agency. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary

Net income for 2015 was $5,743,000, which represented a $48,000 or 1% increase from 2014. The growth in net income resulted primarily from lower interest expense and an increase in noninterest income in 2015 compared to 2014. Net charge-offs continued to be low in 2015, which allowed for a level provision for loan losses expense in 2015 compared to 2014. Net interest income increased $499,000 in 2015 compared to the prior year as a 16 basis point decrease in the rate earned on earning assets was applied to a larger dollar volume in addition to the 6 basis point reduction in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Growth in noninterest income of $900,000 in 2015 compared to 2014 was mainly caused by higher gains on sales of loans and a death benefit received from a life insurance policy. The increase in noninterest expense was due to higher salaries and benefits and data processing partially offset by lower FDIC insurance expense and loan and collection expense in 2015 compared to the prior year.

Net income for 2014 was $5,695,000, which represented a $601,000 or 12% increase from 2013. The growth in net income resulted primarily from lower interest expense, a lower provision for loan losses and an increase in noninterest income in 2014 compared to 2013. Net charge-offs were lower in 2014 than 2013, which caused the need for less provision for loan losses expense. Net interest income increased $267,000 in 2014 compared to the prior year as a 23 basis point decrease in the rate earned on earning assets was applied to a larger dollar volume in addition to the 8 basis point reduction in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Noninterest income grew $557,000 from 2013 to 2014 as a result of higher customer service charges, higher gains on sales of securities, and a lower level of losses on sales of other assets. The increase in noninterest expense was due to higher salaries and benefits and data processing partially offset by lower loan and collection expense in 2014 compared to the prior year.

Dividends

Cash dividends of $2,170,000 or $0.66 per common share were declared in 2015, compared to $1,945,000 or $0.59 per common share in 2014 and $1,780,000 or $0.54 per common share in 2013. Dividends declared were $0.17 per share for the last three quarters in 2015 and $0.15 per share for the first quarter in 2015. Dividends declared were $0.15 per share for the last three quarters of 2014 and $0.14 per share for the first quarter in 2014. Dividends declared were $0.14 per share for the last two quarters and $0.13 per share for the first two quarters in 2013. The dividend yield on ChoiceOne’s common stock was 2.77% in 2015, compared to 2.57% in 2014 and 3.16% in 2013. The cash dividend payout as a percentage of net income was 38% in 2015, compared to 34% in 2014 and 35% in 2013.

| (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 tax-exempt securities and loans has been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis using an incremental tax rate of 34% for the years presented.

Net Interest Income

Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $362,000 in 2015 compared to 2014. The increase was attributed to $23.8 million in interest-earning assets and a decrease of 6 basis points on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 16 basis point decline in the average rate on interest-earning assets. ChoiceOne’s net interest spread declined 10 basis points in 2015 compared to 2014 as growth of average interest-earning assets was offset by the compression of net interest margin.

The average balance of loans increased $12.0 million in 2015 compared to 2014. $8.6 million of growth came from loans to businesses in ChoiceOne’s markets as calling efforts were emphasized in 2015. Residential mortgage loans increased $3.5 million due to a higher level of loan originations in 2015. Partially offsetting the loan growth with an 11 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on loans, interest income on loans increased $207,000 in 2015 compared to the prior year. The average balance of total securities increased by $10.1 million in 2015 compared to 2014 as securities were purchased to provide earning assets growth. This growth in the average balance was partially offset by a lower average rate earned on securities, which caused interest income from securities to decrease $10,000 in 2015 compared to the prior year. The average balance of other interest-earning assets increased $1.6 million as excess funds were deployed to purchase additional bank owned life insurance, resulting in an increase of $5,000 in interest income for 2015 compared to 2014.

The average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased $27.8 million in 2015 compared to 2014. The effect of this increase, partially offset by a 2 basis point decline in the average rate paid, caused interest expense to be $6,000 higher in 2015 than in the prior year. The effect of $43,000 of decline in average savings deposits along with a 2 basis point decline in average rate paid caused a $15,000 decrease in interest expense in 2015 compared to the prior year. The average balance of certificates of deposit was $12.5 million lower in 2015 than in the prior year. The average balance decrease plus the effect of a 7 basis point decline in the average rate paid caused interest expense on certificates of deposit to fall $155,000 in 2015 compared to 2014. A $5.4 million increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, partially offset by a 2 basis point decrease in the average rate paid, caused interest expense to increase $20,000 in 2015 compared to the prior year. The growth experienced in non-interest bearing demand deposits and savings deposits was primarily due to depositors choosing the liquidity and safety afforded by this type of deposit as compared to certificates of deposit or nonbank investments.

ChoiceOne’s net interest income spread was 3.71% for 2015 and 3.81% for 2014. The average yield received on interest-earning assets in 2015 decreased 16 basis points to 3.98% while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in 2015 fell 6 basis points to 0.27%. The decline in general market interest rates in both 2014 and 2015 caused the reduction in rates for both assets and liabilities in the two time periods.

| 22 |

Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $267,000 in 2014 compared to 2013. The increase was attributed to $25.6 million increase in interest-earning assets and a decrease of 8 basis points on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 23 basis point decline in the average rate on interest-earning assets. ChoiceOne’s net interest spread declined 15 basis points in 2014 compared to 2013 as growth of average interest-earning assets was offset by the compression of net interest margin.

The average balance of loans increased $17.6 million in 2014 compared to 2013. $19.9 million of growth came from loans to businesses in ChoiceOne’s markets as calling efforts were emphasized in 2014. Consumer loans increased $1.0 million due to marketing and ChoiceOne’s referral program. Residential mortgage loans declined $3.3 million as some loans held in portfolio were refinanced during 2014 and sold in the secondary market. Offsetting the loan growth with a 28 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on loans, interest income on loans declined $39,000 in 2014 compared to the prior year. The average balance of total securities increased by $8.7 million in 2014 compared to 2013 as securities were purchased to provide earning assets growth. This growth in the average balance was partially offset by a lower average rate earned on securities, which caused interest income from securities to increase $38,000 in 2014 compared to the prior year. The average balance of other interest-earning assets decreased $652,000 as excess funds were deployed toward loan and securities growth, resulting in a decrease of $3,000 in interest income for 2014 compared to 2013.

The average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased $5.9 million in 2014 compared to 2013. The effect of this increase, partially offset by a 4 basis point decline in the average rate paid, caused interest expense to be $40,000 lower in 2014 than in the prior year. The effect of $2.4 million of growth in average savings deposits caused a $1,000 increase in interest expense in 2014 compared to the prior year. The average balance of certificates of deposit was $11.7 million lower in 2014 than in the prior year. The average balance decrease plus the effect of a 13 basis point decline in the average rate paid caused interest expense on certificates of deposit to fall $247,000 in 2014 compared to 2013. A $7.1 million increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, partially offset by an 18 basis point decrease in the average rate paid, caused interest expense to increase $18,000 in 2014 compared to the prior year. The growth experienced in non-interest bearing demand deposits and savings deposits was primarily due to depositors choosing the liquidity and safety afforded by this type of deposit as compared to certificates of deposit or nonbank investments.

ChoiceOne’s net interest income spread was 3.81% for 2014 and 3.96% for 2013. The average yield received on interest-earning assets in 2014 decreased 23 basis points to 4.14% while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in 2014 fell 8 basis points to 0.33%. The decline in general market interest rates in both 2013 and 2014 caused the reduction in rates for both assets and liabilities in the two time periods.

Loan recoveries as a percentage of prior year’s charge-offs |  |  | 36 | % |  | 19 | % |  | 29 | % |  | 17 | % |  | 12 | %

The provision for loan losses was flat in 2015 compared to 2014. The reduction of $583,000 in net charge-offs experienced in 2015 compared to 2014 allowed for the minimal provision for loan losses in 2015. All loan categories experienced net recoveries during 2015 except consumer loans, which had net charge offs of $172,000. Management believes that the lower net charge-off levels are due in part to the improving economy in the Bank’s market areas. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans decreased from 1.21% as of the end of 2015 to 1.20% as of the end of 2015. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased from 63% as of December 31, 2014 to 76% as of December 31, 2015. The allowance balance was slightly increased while the balance of nonperforming loans decreased in 2015. ChoiceOne had $506,000 of specific allowance allocations for problem loans as of the end of 2015, compared to $1.1 million as of the prior year end. Special allowance amounts have been allocated where the fair values of loans were considered to be less than their carrying values. ChoiceOne obtains valuations on collateral dependent loans when the loan is considered by management to be impaired and uses the valuation amounts in the determination of fair value. Management believes the specific reserves allocated to certain problem loans at the end of 2015 and 2014 were reasonable based on the circumstances surrounding each particular borrower.

| 24 |

The following schedule presents an allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various loan categories as of the years ended December 31:

(Dollars in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2011 |

Total allowance for loan losses |  | $ | 4,194 |  | $ | 4,173 |  | $ | 4,735 |  | $ | 5,852 |  | $ | 5,213 |

The increase in the allowance allocation to agricultural loans was due to changes in assumptions regarding the industry and economic trends affecting it. The decrease in the allowance allocation to commercial real estate loans was due to a reduction in historical charge-off levels in this loan category. Fluctuations in allowance allocations in the other loan categories were primarily due to changes in historical charge-off levels and environmental factors affecting them.

Management maintains the allowance at a level that it believes adequately provides for losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Such losses are estimated by a variety of factors, including specific examination of certain borrowing relationships and consideration of historical losses incurred on certain types of credits. Current economic conditions and collateral values affect loss estimates. Management focuses on early identification of problem credits through ongoing reviews by management and the independent loan review function. Based on the current state of the economy and a recent review of the loan portfolio, management believes that the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2015 was adequate. As charge-offs, changes in the level of nonperforming loans, and changes within the composition of the loan portfolio occur, the provision and allowance for loan losses will be reviewed by the Bank’s management and adjusted as necessary.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income increased $900,000 in 2015 compared to 2014. Customer service charges increased $132,000 in 2015 compared to the prior year as a result of service charges on ChoiceOne’s new checking accounts and growth in debit card fee income. An increase in insurance and investment commissions of $154,000 in 2015 compared to 2014 was due to overall higher volumes including brokerage fees for investment transactions for customers. Gains on sales of loans increased $393,000 in 2015 compared to 2014 as longer-term mortgage rates declined causing a positive impact on mortgage volume. Net gains on sales of securities decreased $49,000 as opportunities to harvest gains on the security portfolio diminished. Net losses on sales of other assets were $14,000 lower in 2015 than in the prior year as write-downs of values of other real estate properties and losses on sales of properties were significantly lower in 2015 than in 2014. Earnings on life insurance policies were $349,000 higher in 2015 than 2014 as a death benefit was received on a former employee’s life insurance policy. Other noninterest income declined $92,000 in 2015 compared to 2014 as a result of losses experienced in the Company’s investments in its data processing subsidiary and a title insurance agency.

Total noninterest income increased $557,000 in 2014 compared to 2013. Customer service charges increased $274,000 in 2014 compared to the prior year as a result of service charges on ChoiceOne’s new checking accounts and growth in debit card fee income. An increase in insurance and investment commissions of $80,000 in 2014 compared to 2013 was due to overall higher volumes including brokerage fees for investment transactions for customers. Gains on sales of loans decreased $543,000 in 2014 compared to 2013 as increases in longer-term mortgage rates that occurred in the second half of 2013 and early 2014 caused a reduction in residential mortgage volume, while a decline in longer-term interest rates in the last quarter of 2014 had a positive impact on mortgage volume. Net gains on sales of securities increased $174,000 as rates stayed relatively flat during 2014, allowing for opportunities to harvest gains on the security portfolio. Net losses on sales of other assets were $687,000 lower in 2014 than in the prior year as write-downs of values of other real estate properties and losses on sales of properties were significantly lower in 2014 than in 2013. Other noninterest income declined $119,000 in 2014 compared to 2013 as a result of losses experienced in the Company’s investments in its data processing subsidiary and a title insurance agency.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense increased $1.5 million in 2015 compared to 2014. Salaries and benefits increased $817,000 in 2015 compared to the prior year as higher costs related to salaries, health insurance, retirement contributions and higher commission expenses. Data processing expense increased $463,000 as a result of higher costs related to electronic banking and software maintenance costs and the cost to upgrade the bank’s data processing and online banking software. Professional fees increased $82,000 as an increase of $101,000 in consulting expenses was partially offset by a decline in other professional fees. The $229,000 increase in other noninterest expense was partially due to an increase in recruiting expenses and loan origination costs.

| 25 |

Total noninterest expense increased $130,000 in 2014 compared to 2013. Salaries and benefits increased $216,000 in 2014 compared to the prior year as higher costs related to salaries, health insurance, and retirement contributions were partially offset by lower commission expenses. Data processing expense increased $182,000 as a result of higher costs related to electronic banking and software maintenance costs. The $255,000 decrease in loan and collection expense in 2014 compared to the prior year was caused by a lower level of other real estate properties and lower costs related to collection of nonperforming loans and maintenance of foreclosed properties.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased $131,000 in 2015 compared to 2014. The decrease in income tax expense in 2015 was caused by lower income before taxes and the effect of a nontaxable life insurance death benefit received in 2015. Income taxes increased $293,000 in 2014 compared to 2013. The increase in income tax expense was caused by higher income before taxes. The effective tax rate was 25% in 2015, compared to 27% in 2014. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the nontaxable death benefit received in 2015. The effective tax rate was 27% in 2014 compared to 26% in 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate was caused by the portion of income before income tax comprised of nontaxable income declining.

Financial Condition

Summary

Total assets were $567.7 million as of December 31, 2015, which represented an increase of $18.1 million or 3.3% from the end of 2014. Securities available for sale increased $17.6 million during 2015 as management purchased securities to support asset growth. Loans increased $3.2 million in 2015, with most of the increase occurring in commercial and industrial loans. The allowance for loan losses increased $21,000 as the loan portfolio grew, but was offset by the quality of loans improving allowing for minimal provision expense. Net other real estate owned decreased $119,000 in 2015 with increased effort of the Bank to reduce this balance and therefore collection expenses. Total deposits increased $39.9 million in 2015 due to increases in checking deposits and savings deposits, which were partially offset by a decrease in local certificates of deposit.

Securities

The Bank’s securities available for sale balances as of December 31 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |
U.S. Government and federal agency |  | $ | 57,207 |  | $ | 44,503 |
U.S. Treasury notes and bonds |  |  | 6,100 |  |  | 8,058 |
State and municipal |  |  | 77,754 |  |  | 69,835 |
Mortgage-backed |  |  | 6,970 |  |  | 8,942 |
Corporate |  |  | 8,387 |  |  | 7,538 |
Foreign debt |  |  | 995 |  |  | 994 |
Equity securities |  |  | 2,453 |  |  | 2,275 |
Asset-backed securities |  |  | 270 |  |  | 376 |
Total |  | $ | 160,136 |  | $ | 142,521 |

The securities available for sale portfolio increased $17.6 million from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. ChoiceOne purchased $71.2 million of securities during 2015 to replace securities that matured or were called and to provide growth in earning assets. Approximately $24.7 million in various securities were called or matured in 2015. Principal payments for municipal and mortgage-backed securities totaling $2.4 million were received during 2015. Various securities totaling approximately $25.9 million were sold during 2015 for net gains totaling $261,000. The Bank’s Investment Committee continues to monitor the portfolio and purchases securities as it considers prudent. Also, certain securities are sold under agreements to repurchase and management plans to continue this practice as a low-cost source of funding.

Equity securities included a money market preferred security (MMP) and a trust preferred security totaling $1.5 million, and common stock of $953,000 as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, equity securities included an MMP of $1.5 million, and common stock of $775,000.

Management will continue to monitor its securities in 2016. Securities may be sold if believed prudent from a risk standpoint.

Loans

The Bank’s loan portfolio as of December 31 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |
Agricultural |  | $ | 40,232 |  | $ | 41,098 |
Commercial and industrial |  |  | 94,347 |  |  | 88,062 |
Consumer |  |  | 20,090 |  |  | 20,752 |
Real estate - commercial |  |  | 97,736 |  |  | 99,807 |
Real estate - construction |  |  | 5,390 |  |  | 2,691 |
Real estate - residential |  |  | 91,509 |  |  | 93,703 |
Total loans |  | $ | 349,304 |  | $ | 346,113 |

The loan portfolio (excluding loans held for sale) increased $3.2 million from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. Economic factors in ChoiceOne’s market areas demonstrated signs of improvement, which affected loan demand in 2015. Growth experienced in the commercial and industrial and real estate – construction loan categories was due in part to calling efforts by ChoiceOne’s loan officers as well as continued low interest rates on residential real estate.

Information regarding impaired loans can be found in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report. In addition to its review of the loan portfolio for impaired loans, management also monitors 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 past due 90 days or more, which are considered troubled debt restructurings.

The balances of these nonperforming loans as of December 31 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |
Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis |  | $ | 2,198 |  | $ | 3,361 |
Loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments |  |  | 29 |  |  | 58 |
Loans considered troubled debt restructurings which are not included above |  |  | 3,271 |  |  | 3,175 |
Total |  | $ | 5,498 |  | $ | 6,594 |

Nonaccrual loans included $50,000 in agricultural loans, $77,000 in commercial and industrial loans, $1,640,000 in commercial real estate loans, and $431,000 in residential real estate loans as of December 31, 2015. Nonaccrual loans included $38,000 in commercial and industrial loans, $2,652,000 in commercial real estate loans, and $671,000 in residential real estate loans as of December 31, 2014. The primary reason for the decline in nonaccrual loans in 2015 was loan paydowns. Loans considered troubled debt restructurings which were not on a nonaccrual basis and were not 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest payments consisted of $1,149,000 in commercial real estate loans, $24,000 in consumer loans, and $2,098,000 in residential real estate loans at December 31, 2015, compared to $26,000 in consumer loans, $1.2 million in commercial real estate loans, and $1.9 million in residential real estate loans at December 31, 2014. Troubled debt restructurings consist of loans where the terms have been modified to assist the borrowers in making their payments. The modifications can include capitalization of interest onto the principal balance, reduction in interest rate, and extension of the loan term.

Management also maintains a list of loans that are not classified as nonperforming loans but where some concern exists as to the borrowers’ abilities to comply with the original loan terms. These loans totaled $6.0 million as of December 31, 2015, compared to $7.2 million as of December 31, 2014.

Deposits and Other Funding Sources

The Bank’s deposit balances as of December 31 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits |  | $ | 122,937 |  | $ | 113,006 |
Interest-bearing demand deposits |  |  | 106,883 |  |  | 71,651 |
Money market deposits |  |  | 86,987 |  |  | 78,272 |
Savings deposits |  |  | 70,946 |  |  | 67,035 |
Local certificates of deposit |  |  | 86,944 |  |  | 104,864 |
Total deposits |  | $ | 474,697 |  | $ | 434,828 |

Total deposits increased $39.9 million from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. Local certificates of deposit fell $17.9 million during 2015. Management believes that the decline in local certificates of deposits is in part due to the customer base both reentering the stock market and wanting more liquid funds available as seen in the increase in demand deposits, savings deposits, and money market deposits of $57.8 million.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $17.3 million during 2015. The decrease was due to the decline of sweep repurchase accounts used by the Bank’s local customers as many transitioned into other interest-bearing demand deposits. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis decreased $7.0 million in 2015 due to advances paid off with deposit growth. A blanket collateral agreement covering agricultural real estate loans and residential real estate loans was pledged against all outstanding advances at the end of 2015. Approximately $61.2 million of additional advances were available as of December 31, 2015 based on the collateral pledged.

In 2016, management will continue to focus its marketing efforts toward growth in local deposits. If local deposit growth is insufficient to support asset growth, management believes that advances from the FHLB, repurchase agreements and brokered certificates of deposit can address corresponding funding needs.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased $3.7 million from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The growth in equity resulted from the retention of earnings in 2015 as net income exceeded dividends paid by $3.6 million. Other comprehensive income increased $130,000 in 2015 primarily due to declining interest rates affecting the unrealized gains on available for sale securities.

Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements presents regulatory capital information for the Bank at the end of 2015 and 2014. Management will monitor these capital ratios during 2016 as they relate to asset growth and earnings retention. ChoiceOne’s Board of Directors and management do not plan to allow capital to decrease below those levels necessary to be considered “well capitalized” by regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2015, the Bank was categorized as “well-capitalized.” On July 3, 2013, the FDIC Board of Directors approved the Regulatory Capital Interim Final Rule, implementing Basel III. This rule redefines Tier 1 capital as two components (Common Equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1), creates a new capital ratio (Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-based Capital Ratio) and implements a capital conservation buffer. It also revises the prompt corrective action thresholds and makes changes to risk weights for certain assets and off-balance-sheet exposures. Banks were required to transition into the new rule beginning on January 1, 2015. Based on ChoiceOne’s capital levels and balance sheet composition at December 31, 2015, management believes implementation of the new rule will have no material impact on ChoiceOne’s capital needs.

Table 4 – Contractual Obligations

The following table discloses information regarding the maturity of ChoiceOne’s contractual obligations at December 31, 2015:

|  |  | Payment Due by Period |
(Dollars in thousands) |  |  | Total |  |  |  | Less than 1 year |  |  |  | 1 - 3 Years |  |  |  | 3 - 5 Years |  |  |  | More than 5 Years |
Time deposits |  | $ | 86,944 |  |  | $ | 54,241 |  |  | $ | 25,178 |  |  | $ | 7,232 |  |  | $ | 293 |

Other obligations |  |  | 789 |  |  |  | 99 |  |  |  | 202 |  |  |  | 199 |  |  |  | 289 |
Total |  | $ | 108,742 |  |  | $ | 74,886 |  |  | $ | 25,481 |  |  | $ | 7,540 |  |  | $ | 834 |

Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk

Net cash from operating activities was $4.0 million for 2015 compared to $7.5 million for 2014. Lower net proceeds from loan sales was the main reason for the decrease. Cash used in investing activities was $22.7 million in 2015 compared to $38.9 million in 2014. The change was caused by a lower level of loan growth in 2015 than in 2014, offset by more net securities growth. Cash flows from financing activities were $11.2 million in 2015 compared to $16.7 million in the prior year. The effect of growth in deposits in 2015 partially offset by a lower level of net proceeds from Federal Home Loan Bank advances and a lower level of growth in repurchase agreements in 2015 than in the prior year.

ChoiceOne’s primary market risk exposure occurs in the form of interest rate risk. Liquidity risk also can have an impact but to a lesser extent. ChoiceOne’s business is transacted in U.S. dollars with no foreign exchange risk exposure. Agricultural loans comprise a relatively small portion of ChoiceOne’s total assets. Management believes that ChoiceOne’s exposure to changes in commodity prices is insignificant.

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 lines of credit from correspondent banks, and advances available from the FHLB. Liquidity risk deals with ChoiceOne’s ability to meet its cash flow requirements. These requirements include depositors desiring to withdraw funds and borrowers seeking credit. Relatively short-term liquid funds exist in the form of lines of credit to purchase federal funds at four of the Bank’s correspondent banks. As of December 31, 2015, the amount of federal funds available for purchase from the Bank’s correspondent banks totaled approximately $44.0 million. ChoiceOne had no federal funds purchased at the end of 2015 or 2014. The Bank also has a line of credit secured by ChoiceOne’s commercial loans with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for $69.8 million, which is designated for nonrecurring short-term liquidity needs. Longer-term liquidity needs may be met through local deposit growth, maturities of securities, normal loan repayments, advances from the FHLB, brokered certificates of deposit, and income retention. Approximately $61.2 million of borrowing capacity was available from the FHLB based on agricultural real estate loans and residential real estate loans pledged as collateral at year-end 2015. The acceptance of brokered certificates of deposit is not limited as long as the Bank is categorized as “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations as well as disclosures found elsewhere in this report are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the market value of securities, the amount of the allowance for loan losses, loan servicing rights, carrying value of goodwill, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities

Securities available for sale may be sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risks, yield, availability of alternative investments, liquidity needs, credit rating changes, or other factors. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at their fair value. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are considered to be “other than temporary” are recorded as losses in the income statement. In estimating whether a fair value decline is considered to be “other than temporary,” management considers the length of time and extent that the security’s fair value has been less than its carrying value, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Bank’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

| 29 |

Market values for securities available for sale are obtained from outside sources and applied to individual securities within the portfolio. The difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of securities is recorded as a valuation adjustment and reported net of tax effect in other comprehensive income.

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 of the impact of current economic conditions on the portfolio and historical loss experience of seasoned loan portfolios.

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 current economic conditions and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on the Company’s assets reported on the balance sheet as well as its net income.

Loan Servicing Rights

Loan servicing rights represent the estimated value of servicing loans that are sold with servicing retained by ChoiceOne. Servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Management’s accounting treatment of loan servicing rights is estimated based on current prepayment speeds that are typically market driven.

Management believes the accounting estimate related to loan servicing rights is a “critical accounting estimate” because (1) the estimate is highly susceptible to change from period to period because of significant changes within long-term interest rates affecting the prepayment speeds for current loans being serviced and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment loss could have a material effect on ChoiceOne’s net income. Management has obtained a third-party valuation of its loan servicing rights to corroborate its current carrying value at the end of each reporting period.

Goodwill

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the fair values of the assets and liabilities of an acquired entity be recorded at their fair value on the date of acquisition. The fair values are determined using both internal computations and information obtained from outside parties when deemed necessary. The net difference between the price paid for the acquired company and the net value of its balance sheet is recorded as goodwill. Accounting principles also require that goodwill be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Under recently issued accounting pronouncements, ChoiceOne is permitted to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of equity is less than its carrying value. If the conclusion is that it is more likely than not that the fair value of equity is more than its carrying value, no further testing in the form of a quantitative assessment is necessary. If the conclusion is that it is more likely than not that the fair value of equity is less than its carrying value, then a two-step quantitative assessment test is performed to identify any potential goodwill impairment.

Management performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2014 and 2015 and December 31, 2014 and 2015. The analysis was performed including evaluation of the share price, book value, and financial results of ChoiceOne as compared to the previous year. Additionally, industry and market conditions were evaluated and compared. Average deal prices in the Midwest of closed transactions have indicated increases in deal values to tangible common equity, deal values to earnings, and core deposit premiums when compared to the observed prices used in the last quantitative assessment of goodwill in 2012. Further, macro-economic trends have been on a positive trajectory recently and there have been no adverse legal, regulatory, contractual, political or other factors that have materially impacted ChoiceOne. Upon completion of the qualitative assessment, ChoiceOne believes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of ChoiceOne’s equity exceeds the carrying value at the assessment date and there is no further quantitative assessment necessary.

Taxes

Income taxes include both a current and deferred portion. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to account for differences in the timing of the recognition of revenues and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. Generally accepted accounting principles require that deferred tax assets be reviewed to determine whether a valuation allowance should be established using a “more likely than not” standard. Based on its review of ChoiceOne’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015, management determined that no valuation allowance was necessary.

Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest rate risk is related to liquidity because each is affected by maturing assets and sources of funds. ChoiceOne’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (the “ALCO”) attempts to stabilize the interest rate spread and avoid possible adverse effects when unusual or rapid changes in interest rates occur. The ALCO uses a simulation model to measure the Bank’s interest rate risk. The model incorporates changes in interest rates on rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. The degree of rate sensitivity is affected by prepayment assumptions that exist in the assets and liabilities. One method the ALCO uses of measuring interest rate sensitivity is the ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities. An asset or liability is considered to be rate-sensitive if it matures or otherwise reprices within a given time frame.

| 30 |

Table 5 documents the maturity or repricing schedule for ChoiceOne’s rate-sensitive assets and liabilities for selected time periods:

Under this method, the ALCO measures interest rate sensitivity by focusing on the one-year repricing gap. ChoiceOne’s ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities that matured or repriced within a one-year time frame was 69% at December 31, 2015, compared to 69% at December 31, 2014. Table 5 above shows the entire balance of interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits, money market deposits, and overnight repurchase agreements in the shortest repricing term. Although these categories have the ability to reprice immediately, management has some control over the actual timing or extent of the changes in interest rates on these liabilities. The ALCO plans to continue to monitor the ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities on a quarterly basis in 2016. As interest rates change during 2016, the ALCO will attempt to match its maturing assets with corresponding liabilities to maximize ChoiceOne’s net interest income.

Another method the ALCO uses to monitor its interest rate sensitivity is to subject rate-sensitive assets and liabilities to interest rate shocks. At December 31, 2015, management used a simulation model to subject its assets and liabilities up to an immediate 400 basis point increase. The maturities of loans and mortgage-backed securities were affected by certain prepayment assumptions. Maturities for interest-bearing core deposits were based on an estimate of the period over which they would be outstanding. The maturities of advances from the FHLB were based on their contractual maturity dates. In the case of variable rate assets and liabilities, repricing dates were used to determine their values. The simulation model measures the effect of immediate interest rate changes on both net interest income and shareholders’ equity.

As of both December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank was within its guidelines for immediate rate shocks up and down for both net interest income and the market value of shareholders’ equity. The ALCO plans to continue to monitor the effect of changes in interest rates on both net interest income and shareholders’ equity and will make changes in the duration of its rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities where necessary.

Item 8. | Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Bank, and ChoiceOne Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. (together referred to as “ChoiceOne”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Operations

The Bank is a full-service community bank that offers commercial, consumer, and real estate loans as well as traditional demand, savings and time deposits to both commercial and consumer clients in Kent, Muskegon, Newaygo, and Ottawa counties in Michigan. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from the cash flows from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are collateralized by either residential or commercial real estate.

The Insurance Agency is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. The Insurance Agency sells insurance policies such as life and health for both commercial and consumer clients. The Insurance Agency also offers alternative investment products such as annuities and mutual funds through a registered broker.

Together, the Bank and the Insurance Agency account for substantially all of ChoiceOne’s assets, revenues and operating income.

Use of Estimates

To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ChoiceOne’s 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates associated with securities available for sale, the allowance for loan losses, other real estate owned, core deposit intangible assets, loan servicing rights, goodwill, and fair values of certain financial instruments are particularly susceptible to change.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are defined to include cash on hand, demand deposits with other banks, and federal funds sold. Cash flows are reported on a net basis for customer loan and deposit transactions, deposits with other financial institutions, and short-term borrowings with original terms of 90 days or less.

Securities

Securities are classified as available for sale because they might be sold before maturity. Securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported separately in the accumulated other comprehensive income or loss section of shareholders’ equity, net of tax effect. Restricted investments in Federal Reserve Bank stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock are carried at cost. Equity securities consist of investments in preferred stock, trust-preferred securities, and investments in common stock of other financial institutions.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. Gains or losses on sales are recorded on the trade date based on the amortized cost of the security sold.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The evaluation of securities includes consideration given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and whether ChoiceOne has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, or U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

39

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether ChoiceOne intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If ChoiceOne intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment. If a security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, but ChoiceOne does not intend to sell the security, only the credit portion of the estimated loss is recognized in earnings, with the other portion of the loss recognized in other comprehensive income.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market, on an aggregate basis.

Interest income on loans is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the estimated loan term. Interest on loans is accrued based upon the principal balance outstanding. The accrual of interest is discontinued at the time at which commercial loans are 90 days past due unless the loan is secured by sufficient collateral and is in the process of collection. Interest on consumer or real estate secured loans is discontinued at the time at which the loan is 120 days past due unless the credit is secured by sufficient collateral and is in the process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed into nonaccrual status or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Interest accrued but not received is reversed against interest income when the loans are placed into nonaccrual status. Interest received on such loans is applied to principal until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual basis when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payment is reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by loans charged off less any recoveries of charged off loans. Management estimates the allowance for loan losses balance required based on past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance for loan losses 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 for loan losses when management believes that collection of a loan balance is not possible.

The allowance for loan losses consists of general and specific components. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Commercial loans are evaluated for impairment on an individual loan basis. If a loan is considered impaired, a portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to the loan so that it is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans such as consumer and residential real estate mortgage loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Land is carried at cost. Land improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 7 to 15 years. Building and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 39 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated life or the lease term. Furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years. Fixed assets are periodically reviewed for impairment. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate properties acquired in the collection of a loan are initially recorded at the lower of the Bank’s basis in the loans or fair value at acquisition establishing a new cost basis. Any reduction to fair value from the carrying value of the related loan is accounted for as a loan loss. After acquisition, a valuation allowance reduces the reported amount to the lower of the initial amount or fair value less costs to sell. Expenses to repair or maintain properties are included within other noninterest expenses. Gains and losses upon disposition and changes in the valuation allowance are reported net within noninterest income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Loan Servicing Rights

Loan servicing rights represent the allocated value of servicing rights on loans sold with servicing retained. Servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the rights, using groupings of the underlying loans as to interest rates and then, secondarily, as to geographic and prepayment characteristics. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics when available or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance.

Goodwill

Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet financing needs of customers. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Employee Benefit Plans

ChoiceOne’s 401(k) plan allows participants to make contributions to their individual accounts under the plan in amounts up to the IRS maximum. Employer matching contributions from ChoiceOne to its 401(k) plan are discretionary. ChoiceOne also allows retired employees to participate in its health insurance plan. Employees who have attained age 55 and completed at least ten years of service to ChoiceOne are eligible to participate as a retiree until they are eligible for Medicare. These post-retirement benefits are accrued during the years in which the employee provides service.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Dividends on Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. Upon distribution of shares to a participant, the participant has the right to require the Company to purchase his or her shares at fair value in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ESOP. As such, these shares are not classified in shareholders’ equity as permanent equity.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax due and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is based on weighted-average common shares outstanding. The weighted-average number of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted EPS includes shares allocated to the ESOP. Diluted EPS further assumes issue of any dilutive potential common shares issuable under stock options or restricted stock units granted.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income or loss. Other comprehensive income or loss includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and changes in the funded status of post-retirement plans, net of tax, which are also recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Accumulated other comprehensive income was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) |  | Years ended December 31, |
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |
Unrealized gains on available for sale securities |  |  | 1,632 |  |  | 1,401 |
Unrecognized gains on post-retirement benefits |  |  | 191 |  |  | 225 |
Tax effect |  |  | (620 | ) |  | (553 | )
Accumulated other comprehensive income |  | $ | 1,203 |  | $ | 1,073 |

Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that there are any such matters that may have a material effect on the financial statements as of December 31, 2015.

Cash Restrictions

Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $1.1 million and $409,000 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The balance in excess of the amount required was interest-bearing as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company values share-based stock option awards granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company recognizes compensation expense for its awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award (straight-line attribution method), ensuring that the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that time. Compensation costs related to stock options granted are disclosed in Note 14.

ChoiceOne has granted restricted stock units to a select group of employees under the Stock Incentive Plan of 2012. Restricted stock units 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.

Dividend Restrictions

Banking regulations require the maintenance of certain capital levels and may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank to ChoiceOne (see Note 20).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, which are more fully documented in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments

While ChoiceOne’s management monitors the revenue streams of various products and services for the Bank and Insurance Agency, operations and financial performance are evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment.

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. The ASU is effective for public entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (therefore, for the year ending December 31, 2018 for the Corporation). Early implementation is not allowed for public companies. Management is currently assessing the impact to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (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) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Alternatively, equity investments without readily determinable fair values can be recorded at cost, and periodically evaluated for impairment using a qualitative assessment. If the qualitative assessment indicates the investment is impaired, it is required to be measured at fair value. The update also eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The new standard is effective for the year ending December 31, 2018 for the Corporation. Management is currently assessing the impact to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts presented in prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

ChoiceOne evaluates all securities on a quarterly basis to determine whether unrealized losses are temporary or other than temporary. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of ChoiceOne to retain its investment in the issue for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value of amortized cost basis. Management believed that unrealized losses as of December 31, 2015 were temporary in nature and were caused primarily by changes in interest rates, increased credit spreads, and reduced market liquidity and were not caused by the credit status of the issuer. No other than temporary impairments were recorded in 2015 or 2014.

At December 31, 2015, there were 82 securities with an unrealized loss, compared to 42 securities with an unrealized loss as of December 31, 2014. The increase in the number of securities in an unrealized loss position was caused by higher interest rates at the end of 2015 compared to the end of 2014.

ChoiceOne manages its credit risk through the use of its loan policy and its loan approval process and by monitoring of loan credit performance. The loan approval process for commercial loans involves individual and group approval authorities. Individual authority levels are based on the experience of the lender. Group authority approval levels can consist of an internal loan committee that includes the Bank’s President or Senior Lender and other loan officers for loans that exceed individual approval levels, or a loan committee of the Board of Directors for larger commercial loans. Most consumer loans are approved by individual loan officers based on standardized underwriting criteria, with larger consumer loans subject to approval by the internal loan committee.

Ongoing credit review of commercial loans is the responsibility of the loan officers. ChoiceOne’s internal credit committee meets at least monthly and reviews loans with payment issues and loans with a risk rating of 5, 6, or 7. Risk ratings of commercial loans are reviewed periodically and adjusted if needed. ChoiceOne’s consumer loan portfolio is primarily monitored on an exception basis. Loans where payments are past due are turned over to the Bank’s collection department, which works with the borrower to bring payments current or take other actions when necessary. In addition to internal reviews of credit performance, ChoiceOne contracts with a third party for independent loan review that monitors the loan approval process and the credit quality of the loan portfolio.

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 watch credits. 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.

The following schedule provides information on TDRs as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 where the borrower was past due with respect to principal and/or interest for 30 days or more during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 that had been modified during the 12-month period prior to the default:

Loans are classified as performing when they are current as to principal and interest payments or are past due on payments less than 90 days. Loans are classified as nonperforming when they are past due 90 days or more as to principal and interest payments or are considered a troubled debt restructuring.

Note 6 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

There were no changes in the goodwill balance in 2015 or 2014. ChoiceOne evaluates goodwill annually for impairment. Recently issued 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. Management performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2014 and 2015 and December 31, 2014 and 2015. The analysis was performed including evaluation of the share price, book value, and financial results of ChoiceOne as compared to the previous year. Additionally, industry and market conditions were evaluated. Average deal prices during 2015 in the Midwest of closed transactions have indicated increases in deal values to tangible common equity, deal values to earnings, and core deposit premiums when compared to the observed prices used in the last quantitative assessment of goodwill in 2012. Further, macro-economic trends have been on a positive trajectory recently and there have been no adverse legal, regulatory, contractual, political or other factors that have materially impacted ChoiceOne. Upon completion of the qualitative assessment, ChoiceOne believes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of ChoiceOne’s equity exceeds the carrying value at the assessment date and there is no further quantitative assessment necessary for either 2015 or 2014.

Note 13 – Employee Benefit Plans

401(k) Plan:

The 401(k) plan allows employees to contribute to their individual accounts under the plan amounts up to the IRS maximum. Matching company contributions to the plan are discretionary. Expense for matching company contributions under the plan was $167,000, $140,000, and $91,000 in 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan:

Through December 31, 2015, employees participated in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). ChoiceOne could make discretionary contributions to the ESOP. Shares of ChoiceOne common stock were allocated to participants based on relative compensation earned and compensation expense was recorded when allocated. Dividends on allocated shares increased the participant accounts. Participants became fully vested upon completing six years of qualifying service. Participants received the shares at the end of employment. A participant could require stock received to be repurchased by ChoiceOne at any time. ChoiceOne did not contribute to the ESOP nor was any expense recorded in 2015, 2014, or 2013. Effective January 1, 2016, ChoiceOne terminated the ESOP and transferred shares held by the ESOP to the 401(k) plan.

Shares held by the ESOP as of December 31 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands) |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |

Post-retirement Benefits Plan:

ChoiceOne maintains an unfunded post-retirement health care plan, which permits employees (and their dependents) the ability to participate upon retirement from ChoiceOne. ChoiceOne does not pay any portion of the health care premiums charged to its retired participants. A liability has been accrued for the obligation under this plan. ChoiceOne incurred post-retirement benefit expense of $2,000 in 2015 and negative expense of $20,000 in 2014, and $11,000 in 2013. The post-retirement obligation liability was $127,000 as of December 31, 2015 and $149,000 as of December 31, 2014.

Deferred Compensation Plans:

A deferred director compensation plan covers former directors of VRB, which was acquired by ChoiceOne in 2006. Under the plan, ChoiceOne pays each former director the amount of director fees deferred plus interest at rates ranging from 5.50% to 5.84% over various periods as elected by each director. The payout periods range from one month to ten years beginning with the individual’s termination of service. A liability has been accrued for the obligation under this plan. ChoiceOne incurred deferred compensation plan expense of $12,000, $12,000, and $14,000 in 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The deferred compensation liability was $173,000 as of December 31, 2015 and $203,000 as of December 31, 2014.

A supplemental executive retirement plan covers four former executive officers of VRB. Under the plan, ChoiceOne pays these individuals a specific amount of compensation plus interest at 7.50% over a 15-year period commencing upon early retirement age (as defined in the plan) or normal retirement age (as defined in the plan). A liability has been accrued for the obligation under this plan. The effective interest rate used for the accrual for the retirement liability is based on long-term interest rates. Flat long-term interest rates during 2015 caused a slight decrease in plan expense in 2015, while a decrease in long-term interest rates during 2014 caused an increase in plan expense in 2014. ChoiceOne incurred deferred compensation plan expense of $32,000 in 2015, negative expense of $42,000 in 2014 and expense of $1,000 in 2013.

Options to buy stock have been granted to key employees under an incentive stock option plan to provide them with additional equity interests in ChoiceOne. Compensation expense in connection with stock options granted during 2015, 2014, or 2013 was considered to be insignificant. The Amended and Restated Executive Stock Incentive Plan under which the stock options were granted expired in 2012. The Stock Incentive Plan of 2012 was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting held on April 25, 2012. The new plan provides for the issuance of up to 100,000 shares of common stock. At December 31, 2015, there were 51,150 shares available for future grants.

A summary of stock options activity is as follows:

|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013 |
|  | Shares |  | Weighted average exercise price |  | Shares |  | Weighted average exercise price |  | Shares |  | Weighted average exercise price |

The exercise prices for options outstanding and exercisable at the end of 2015 ranged from $13.50 to $23.30 per share. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding and exercisable at the end of 2015 was approximately 4.79 years.

The intrinsic value of all outstanding in-the-money stock options and exercisable in-the-money stock options was $86,000 and $75,000, respectively, at December 31, 2015. The aggregate intrinsic values of outstanding and exercisable options at December 31, 2015 were calculated based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2015 of $23.80 per share less the exercise price.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. ChoiceOne uses historical data to estimate the volatility of the market price of ChoiceOne stock and employee terminations within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. A total of 30,000 options were granted in 2015 with an exercise price of $23.30 and vest over 3 years. No options were granted in 2014 or 2013.

The fair value of stock options granted during 2015 was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of the grant date.

|  | 2015 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 2.28 | %
Expected option life |  |  | 5.75 years |
Expected stock price volatility |  |  | 22.95 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 3.64 | %
Fair value of options granted |  | $ | 3.54 |

ChoiceOne has granted restricted stock units to a select group of employees under the Stock Incentive Plan of 2012. Restricted stock units vest in three annual installments on each of the next three anniversaries of the grant date. Certain additional vesting provisions apply. Each restricted stock unit, once vested, is settled by delivery of one share of ChoiceOne common stock. ChoiceOne recognized compensation expense of $103,000 and $53,000 in 2015 and 2014, respectively, in connection with restricted stock units for current participants during these years. At December 31, 2015 there were 17,850 restricted stock units outstanding with an approximate stock value of $425,000. At December 31, 2014 there were 7,750 restricted stock units outstanding with an approximate stock value of $178,000. Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2015 is approximately $234,000 and will be allocated $119,000 to 2016, $93,000 to 2017, and $22,000 to 2018.

The estimated fair values approximate the carrying amounts for all financial instruments except those described later in this paragraph. The methodology for determining the estimated fair value for securities available for sale is described in Note 18. The estimated fair value for loans is based on the rates charged at December 31 for new loans with similar maturities, applied until the loan is assumed to reprice or be paid. The allowance for loan losses is considered to be a reasonable estimate of discount for credit quality concerns. The estimated fair value of deposits is based on comparing the average rate paid on deposits compared to the three month Libor rate which is assumed to be the replacement value of these deposits. At December 31, 2015, all average rates were lower than the three month Libor rate causing fair values to be higher than carrying amounts. The estimated fair values for time deposits and FHLB advances are based on the rates paid at December 31 for new deposits or FHLB advances, applied until maturity. The estimated fair values for other financial instruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments are considered nominal.

Note 18 – Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about the Bank’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the valuation techniques used by the Bank 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 December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. Disclosures concerning assets measured at fair value are as follows:

Securities classified as available for sale are generally reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. ChoiceOne’s external investment advisor obtained fair value measurements from an independent pricing service that uses matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The fair value measurements considered observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows and the bonds’ terms and conditions, among other things. Securities classified in Level 2 included U.S. Government and federal agency securities, U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, state and municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, foreign debt, and asset backed securities. The Company classified certain state and municipal securities and corporate bonds, and equity securities as Level 3. Based on the lack of observable market data, estimated fair values were based on the observable data available and reasonable unobservable market data.

Of the Level 3 assets that were still held by the Bank at December 31, 2015, the net unrealized gain for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $806,000 and a $9,000 unrealized loss as of December 31, 2014, which is recognized in other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets. A total of $3.2 million and $3.5 million of Level 3 securities were purchased in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions classified as Level 3 assets 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.

Available for sale investment securities categorized as Level 3 assets consist of bonds issued by local municipalities and a trust-preferred security. The Bank estimates the fair value of these assets 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 Bank 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 Bank estimates the fair value of the loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows using management’s best 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 owned that were posted to a valuation account. The fair value of other real estate owned was based on appraisals or other reviews of property values, adjusted for estimated costs to sell.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 19 – Off-Balance Sheet Activities

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customers’ financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk was as follows at December 31:

|  | 2015 | 2014 |
(Dollars in thousands) |  | Fixed Rate |  | Variable Rate |  | Fixed Rate |  | Variable Rate |
Unused lines of credit and letters of credit |  | $ | 14,445 |  | $ | 77,089 |  | $ | 7,076 |  | $ | 60,476 |
Commitments to fund loans (at market rates) |  |  | 18,654 |  |  | 1,740 |  |  | 3,116 |  |  | 1,050 |

Commitments to fund loans are generally made for periods of 180 days or less. The fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 2.49% to 6.52% and maturities ranging from 3 years to 30 years.

Note 20 – Regulatory Capital

ChoiceOne and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators’ corrective powers include: prohibiting the acceptance of brokered deposits; requiring the submission of a capital restoration plan; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities; requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions with affiliates; restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; ordering a new election of directors of the institution; requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution. At year-end 2015 and 2014, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Banking regulations limit capital distributions by state-chartered banks. Generally, capital distributions are limited to undistributed net income for the current and prior two years. At December 31, 2015, approximately $9.8 million was available for ChoiceOne Bank to pay dividends to ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. ChoiceOne’s ability to pay dividends to shareholders is dependent on the payment of dividends from the Bank, which is restricted by state law and regulations.

On July 3, 2013, the FDIC Board of Directors approved the Regulatory Capital Interim Final Rule, implementing Basel III. This rule redefines Tier 1 capital as two components (Common Equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1), creates a new capital ratio (Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-based Capital Ratio) and implements a capital conservation buffer. It also revises the prompt corrective action thresholds and makes changes to risk weights for certain assets and off-balance-sheet exposures. Banks were required to transition into the new rule beginning on January 1, 2015.

None.

Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on and as of the time of that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.

Management of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits. Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified. Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Management’s assessment is based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in 1992. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, its system of internal control over financial reporting was effective and meets the criteria of the “Internal Control – Integrated Framework.” This annual report is not required to include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
