CHEMICAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 1995
NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements of Chemical Financial Corporation and subsidiaries
("Corporation") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTED REFLECT ALL ADJUSTMENTS (CONSISTING OF
NORMAL RECURRING ACCRUALS) WHICH ARE, IN THE OPINION OF MANAGEMENT,
NECESSARY FOR A FAIR PRESENTATION OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
INTERIM PERIODS PRESENTED. Operating results for the three- and six-
month periods ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995. For
-6-
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1994.
NOTE B: CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES Effective January 1, 1995,
the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as
amended by SFAS No. 118. Under the new standard, the allowance for
possible loan losses in 1995, related to loans that are identified for
evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 114, is based on discounted cash
flows using the loans initial effective interest rate or the fair value of
the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Prior to 1995, the
allowance for possible loan losses related to these loans was based on
undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of the collateral for collateral
dependent loans. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a significant
impact on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities". Unrealized appreciation and depreciation
(the difference between fair market value and amortized cost) on securities
classified as available for sale is accounted for as an adjustment to
shareholders' equity in accordance with SFAS No. 115. Upon adoption, the
application of SFAS No. 115 resulted in a $4.14 million increase in
shareholder's equity which represented the unrealized appreciation, net of
taxes, of the Corporation's investments in debt and equity securities
classified as available-for-sale as of this date, which prior to January 1,
1994, had been carried at amortized cost.
As of June 30, 1995, the impact of SFAS No. 115 was a $1.5 million decrease
in shareholders' equity, net of taxes, as compared to an $8.3 million
decrease as of December 31, 1994 and a $6.4 million decrease as of June 30,
1994. The Corporation's investment portfolio is composed primarily of U.S.
Treasury securities with an average maturity of less than one and one-half
years. The significant increase in interest rates on short-term U.S.
Treasury securities throughout 1994 accounted for the overall net reduction
in the fair market value of the Corporation's portfolio of investment
securities available for sale during 1994. However, due to both maturities
of investment securities and the decline in interest rates on short-term
U.S. Treasury securities from December 31, 1994 to June 30, 1995, the SFAS
No. 115 shareholders' equity adjustment declined $6.8 million, or 82%, from
December 31, 1994 to June 30, 1995.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Registrant's financial
condition and results of operations during the periods included in the
consolidated financial statements included in this filing.
Summary
The Corporation's net income was $4,498,000 in the second quarter of 1995,
as compared to net income of $4,398,000 during the second quarter of 1994.
Earnings per share in the second quarter of 1995 was $.49, compared to
earnings per share in the second quarter of 1994 of $.47.
Return on average assets in the second quarter of 1995 was 1.14%, compared
to a return on average assets of 1.10% during the second quarter of 1994.
Return on average equity for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and June
30, 1994 was 10.4% and 11.0%, respectively.
The Corporation's net income was $8,892,000 for the first six months of
1995, as compared to net income of $8,452,000 during the first six months
of 1994. Earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1994 was
$.96, as compared to earnings per share for the first six months of 1994 of
$.91.
Return on average assets for the first six months of 1995 was 1.13%,
compared to a return on average assets of 1.07% for the first six months of
1994. Return on average equity for the six month periods ended June 30,
1995 and June 30, 1994 was 10.3% and 10.6%, respectively.
Total assets were $1.577 billion as of June 30, 1995, compared to $1.593
billion as of December 31, 1994 and $1.586 billion as of June 30, 1994.
Total loans declined $27.1 million, or 3.7%, from December 31, 1994 to
$713.1 million as of June 30, 1995. Total loans decreased $44.2 million,
or 5.8%, from June 30, 1994.
Shareholders' equity increased $13.1 million, or 8.1%, from December 31,
1994 and $18.5 million, or 11.9%, from June 30, 1994, to $174.8 million as
of June 30, 1995. As of June 30, 1995, shareholders' equity per share was
$19.08 and represented 11.1% of total assets. Approximately 52% and 34.5%
of the increase in shareholders' equity from December 31, 1994 and June 30,
1994, respectively, to June 30, 1995, was attributable to a reduction in
the unrealized net loss on securities classified as available for sale.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
An analysis of the components affecting operating earnings for the periods
presented in 1995 and 1994 is facilitated by segregating amounts into
categories of interest income, interest expense, other income, provision
for possible loan losses, operating expense and income tax expense. To
improve the comparability of the interest income component, interest
income, shown in the table which follows, is expressed on a fully taxable
equivalent (FTE) basis. For this purpose, tax-exempt interest earned has
been adjusted as if it had been subject to a federal income tax rate of
35%. The following summary is a reconcilement of the tax equivalent
amounts used in presenting net interest income on a fully taxable
equivalent basis to amounts shown in the Corporation's quarterly
consolidated statement of income.

Net interest income (FTE) $15,503 $15,387 $30,979 $30,252
Other income is derived from trust services, service charges, data
processing and other bank related services, gains on sales of residential
mortgage loans in the secondary mortgage market and investment securities
gains and miscellaneous income. Operating expenses are comprised of
salaries, wages and employee benefits, occupancy expense, equipment
expense, federal deposit insurance premium expense and miscellaneous other
operating expenses.

Net interest income (FTE) increased $116,000 or .8% in the second quarter
of 1995 as compared to the second quarter of 1994. Net interest margin
increased to 4.20% in the second quarter of 1995 from 4.14% in the second
-11-
quarter of 1994. The improvement in the net interest margin during the
second quarter of 1995, as compared to the second quarter of 1994, was primarily
attributable to a 6.2% increase in the average balance of demand
deposit accounts between these two time periods.
Net interest income (FTE) increased $727,000 or 2.4% during the first six
months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of 1994. Net interest
margin increased to 4.21% during the first six months of 1995 as compared
to 4.10% during the first six months of 1994.
Other Income
Other income increased $279,000, or 9.8%, in the second quarter of 1995 and
$315,000, or 5.6%, in the first six months of 1995 as compared to these
same periods in 1994.
The Corporation's trust department income and income from service charges
on deposit accounts, combined, were $206,000 higher in the second quarter
of 1995 than in the second quarter of 1994. Trust department income
increased 5.6% due to an increase in services provided, while service
charge income on deposit accounts increased 15.4% due to increased service
fees on business checking accounts. In addition, the Corporation realized
a gain of $322,000 in the second quarter of 1995 from the sale of its
credit card loan portfolio. The Corporation sold its credit card loan
portfolio due to the increased competition for this product from other
providers offering cards at no annual fee and the proliferation of co-
branded credit cards. These increases were somewhat offset by the $152,000
of investment securities gains realized during the second quarter of 1994
as compared to no investment securities gains being realized during the
second quarter of 1995. Gains realized on the sale of residential mortgage
loans in the secondary market were $57,000 higher in the second quarter of
1995 as compared to this same period in 1994.
During the second quarter of 1994 the Corporation sold approximately $20
million of available for sale investment securities that were scheduled to
mature later that year. The Corporation realized gains on the sale of
these investment securities of $152,000. These securities were sold to
take advantage of an opportunity which existed in the bond market to
enhance the Corporation's total return on these funds. The Corporation
sold no investment securities during the second quarter of 1995.
The Corporation realized gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans in
the secondary market of $82,000 and $25,000 during the second quarters of
1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in these gains was attributable
to the declining real estate mortgage interest rate environment which
existed in the second quarter of 1995. The Corporation sold primarily all
of the residential real estate mortgage loans originated since December 31,
1994, with maturities of fifteen years or more, in the secondary mortgage
market. Total gains realized on the sale of residential mortgage loans in
-12-
the secondary market during the first six months of 1995 and 1994 were
$110,000 and $93,000, respectively.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for possible loan losses reflects management's judgement of
changing economic conditions, as well as increases and other changes in the
subsidiary banks' loan portfolios. It is management's policy to control
loan quality through a carefully structured review of loan requests. In
assessing the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses
("allowance"), management believes that its historical experience confirms,
in principle, its judgment in what is essentially a subjective decision.
Based upon historical experience and a constant evaluation of present and
potential risks in the loan portfolios, management believes that the
allowance is adequate. During the three- and six-months ended June 30,
1995, the Corporation added $240,000 and $490,000, respectively, to the
allowance through the provision for possible loan losses, as compared to
$269,000 and $533,000, respectively, during these same periods in 1994.
Net loan charge-offs during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
1995 were $47,000 and $34,000, respectively, compared to net charge-offs of
$29,000 and $46,000, respectively, during these same periods in 1994.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were up $201,000, or 1.8%, during the second
quarter of 1995 and $187,000, or .8%, during the first six months of 1995,
as compared to these same periods in 1994.
The Corporation's operating philosophy includes an objective of controlling
operating expenses, and accordingly, it has been successful in its efforts
thereto.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation recently announced a reduction in
the rates it charges banks for deposit insurance. This reduction in rates
is expected to favorably affect the Corporation s results of operations
during the second half of 1995.
Income Tax Expense
The Corporation's effective federal income tax rate was 32.2% and 32.3%,
respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, compared
to 31.0% and 30.5%, respectively, during these same periods in 1994. The
effective federal income tax rate is a function of the Corporation's
interest income exempt from federal taxation, non-deductible interest
expense and other non-deductible expenses.

BALANCE SHEET CHANGES
Asset and Deposit Changes
Total assets decreased $16 million, or 1.0%, from December 31, 1994, and
decreased $9 million, or .6%, from June 30, 1994, to $1.577 billion as of
June 30, 1995. Total deposits decreased $28.5 million, or 2.1%, from
December 31, 1994 and decreased $20.9 million, or 1.5%, from June 30, 1994,
to $1.338 billion as of June 30, 1995.
Loans
The Corporation's subsidiary banks are generally located in rural
communities, where the demand for commercial loans which meet the
Corporation's credit standards historically has not been high. The
Corporation's philosophy is such that it will neither compromise on loan
quality nor make loans outside its banking markets to increase its loan
portfolio. The Corporation does not generally purchase participation
loans, which is a method utilized by many financial institutions to
increase the size of their loan portfolios. The Corporation has been
successful in remaining a safe and sound financial institution with this
philosophy.
Total loans as of June 30, 1995 were $713.1 million, as compared to $757.3
million as of June 30, 1994 and $740.2 million as of December 31, 1994.
Real estate mortgage and real estate construction loans, combined, declined
$9.9 million, or 2.1%, from December 31, 1994 to $458.4 million as of June
30, 1995. This decline was partially attributable to the Corporation
selling primarily all residential mortgage loans originated since December
31, 1994, with terms of fifteen years or greater, in the secondary mortgage
lending market. Real estate construction and mortgage loans represented
approximately 64.3% and 60.8% of the Corporation's loan portfolio as of
June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.
Installment loans decreased $10.6 million, or 7%, from December 31, 1994 to
$141.7 million as of June 30, 1995. The decrease in installment loans
between December 31, 1994 and June 30, 1995 was due to repayment of
installment loans made during the Corporation's Money Bonanza installment
loan promotions over the past five years. During each of the past five
years the Corporation's affiliate banks offered installment loans at below
market interest rates during special promotion periods. These loans had
maximum maturities, at origination, of between forty-eight and sixty
months. Due to the short average amortization periods of these loans,
repayments are currently exceeding new loans originated. Installment loans
represented approximately 19.9% and 20.6% of total loans as of June 30,
1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.
Commercial and agricultural loans declined $6.6 million, or 5.6%, from
December 31, 1994 to $112.9 million as of June 30, 1995. This decline was
-14-
attributable to the sale of the Corporation's $3.2 million credit card loan
portfolio, the sale of student loans in the secondary student loan market
and continued increased competition for commercial loans from other
financial institutions located both within and outside the Corporation's
lending markets. Commercial and agricultural loans represented 15.8% and
16.1% of the Corporation's loan portfolio as of June 30, 1995 and December
31, 1994, respectively.
The Corporation's total loan to deposit ratios as of June 30, 1995,
December 31, 1994 and June 30, 1994 were 53.3%, 54.2% and 55.7%,
respectively.
The Corporation traditionally has had a conservative loan underwriting
policy. This is evidenced by its historically low loan losses and low
ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans. For the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1995, the Corporation experienced net charge-offs of
$47,000 and $34,000, respectively, compared to net charge-offs of $29,000
and $46,000, respectively, during these same periods in 1994.
Nonperforming loans consist of loans which are past due for principal or
interest payments by ninety days or more and still accruing interest, loans
for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued and loans which
have been renegotiated to less than market terms due to a serious weakening
of the borrower's financial condition. Nonperforming loans were $3.7
million as of June 30, 1995, compared to $2.8 million as of June 30, 1994,
and represented .52% and .37% of total loans as of these dates,
respectively.
The allowance for possible loan losses at June 30, 1995 was $15,551,000 and
represented 2.18% of total loans and 416% of nonperforming loans as of that
date.
Liquidity
The maintenance of an adequate level of liquidity is necessary to ensure
that sufficient funds are available to meet customers' loan demands and
deposit withdrawals. The banking subsidiaries' primary liquidity sources
consist of investment securities, those maturing within one year and those
classified as available for sale, maturing loans and federal funds sold.
As of June 30, 1995 the Corporation's investment securities portfolio had
an average life of approximately one and one-half years. In addition, at
June 30, 1995 the Corporation held only $4.5 million in mortgage backed
securities, which represented less than one percent of the investment
securities portfolio, and had no other derivatives or any investments in
instruments considered "junk bonds."
Capital Resources
As of June 30, 1995, shareholders' equity was $174.8 million compared to
$156.3 million as of June 30, 1994, an increase of $18.5 million, or 11.9%.
-15-
Shareholders' equity as a percentage of total assets as of June 30, 1995
was 11.1% compared to 9.9% as of June 30, 1994. Total equity as of June
30, 1995 and June 30, 1994 included an after-tax unrealized net loss of
$1.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively, on available for sale
investment securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" (see Note B to the consolidated financial statements).

regulatory agencies
-16-
The Corporation's Tier 1 and Total capital ratios under the risk-based
capital measure at June 30, 1995 are high due to the Corporation holding
$654 million in investment securities and other assets which are assigned a
0% risk rating, $172 million in assets which are assigned a 20% risk rating
and $370 million in residential real estate mortgages and other assets
which are assigned a 50% risk rating. These three risk ratings (i.e., 0%,
20% and 50%) represented 74% of the Corporation's total risk-based assets
(including off-balance sheet items) as of June 30, 1995.
Other
The Corporation declared a 3-for-2 stock split in December, 1994 which was
paid on January 20, 1995. All per share amounts have been adjusted to
reflect this split.
Other than as discussed above, there are currently no known trends, events
or uncertainties that management believes may be reasonably expected to
have a material effect on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or
financial performance.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
On April 17, 1995, the Corporation's shareholders approved an amendment to
the Corporation s Restated Articles of Incorporation increasing the number
of authorized shares of Common Stock, $10 par value, from 10 million to 15
million shares.
All of the additional shares resulting from the increase in the
Corporation s authorized Common Stock are of the same class, with the same
dividend, voting and liquidation rights, as the shares of Common Stock
previously outstanding.
The newly authorized shares are unreserved and available for issuance. No
further shareholder authorization is required prior to the issuance of such
shares by the Corporation. Shareholders have no preemptive rights to
acquire shares issued by the Corporation under its Restated Articles of
Incorporation, and shareholders did not acquire any such rights with
respect to such additional shares under the amendment to the Corporation s
Restated Articles of Incorporation. Under some circumstances, the issuance
of additional shares of Common Stock could dilute the voting rights, equity
and earnings per share of existing shareholders.
