FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report and the documents incorporated into this report contain forward-looking statements that are based on managements beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and the Registrant itself. Words such as anticipates, believes, expects, forecasts, intends, is likely, plans, predicts, projects, may, could, estimates, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Managements determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of goodwill and loan servicing rights, and the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other than temporary) and managements assumptions concerning pension and other postretirement benefit plans involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (risk factors) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood, and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, the Registrant 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, changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking laws and regulations; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies, and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of pending and future litigation and contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their abilities to repay loans; changes in the local and national economies; changes in market conditions; the level and timing of asset growth; local and global uncertainties such as acts of terrorism and military actions; and current uncertainties and fluctuations in the financial markets and stocks of financial services providers due to concerns about credit availability and concerns about the Michigan economy in particular. 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. (the Registrant) is a one-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Registrant was incorporated on February 24, 1986, as a Michigan corporation. The Registrant 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 Registrant on April 6, 1987. The Registrants only subsidiary and significant asset as of December 31, 2011, was ChoiceOne Bank (the Bank). Effective January 1, 1996, the Bank acquired all of the outstanding common stock of ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. (formerly Bradford Insurance Centre, Ltd.), an independent insurance agency headquartered in Sparta, Michigan (the Insurance Agency). Effective January 1, 2002, the Bank formed ChoiceOne Mortgage Company of Michigan (the Mortgage Company). In December 2008, the operations of the Mortgage Company were consolidated into the Bank and the Mortgage Company subsidiary was eliminated. The Bank also owns a 25% interest in a non-banking corporation, West Shore Computer Services, Inc., a data processing firm located in Scottville, Michigan. Effective November 1, 2006, the Registrant merged with Valley Ridge Financial Corp. (VRFC), a single-bank holding company for Valley Ridge Bank (VRB). In the merger, the Registrant issued shares of its common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of VRFC. In December 2006, VRB was consolidated into the Bank.
2
The Registrants business is primarily concentrated in a single industry segmentbanking. 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 Banks consumer loan department makes direct and indirect loans to consumers and purchasers of residential and real property. The Mortgage Company originated and sold a full line of conventional type mortgage loans for 1-4 family and multi-family residential real estate properties. No material part of the business of the Registrant 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 Registrant.
The Banks primary market area lies within portions of Kent, Muskegon, Newaygo, and Ottawa counties in Michigan in the communities where the Banks offices are located. Currently the Bank serves these markets through thirteen full-service offices. The Registrant and the Bank have no foreign assets or income.
The principal source of revenue for the Registrant and the Bank is interest and fees on loans. On a consolidated basis, interest and fees on loans accounted for 67%, 69%, and 70% of total revenues in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Interest on securities accounted for 11%, 10%, and 11% of total revenues in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
The Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference in Part II, Item 8 contain information concerning the financial position and results of operations of the Registrant.
Competition
The Banks 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 Banks 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 Registrant is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve Board). The Registrants 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 Registrant to acquire control of any additional bank holding companies, banks or other operating subsidiaries.
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 Banks deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC) to the extent provided by law. The Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system in March 1993. This provides certain advantages to the Bank, including favorable borrowing rates for certain funds.
The Registrant is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. There are legal limitations on the extent to which the Bank can lend or otherwise supply funds to the Registrant. In addition, payment of dividends to the Registrant by the Bank is subject to various state and federal regulatory limitations.
3
Under Federal Reserve Board policy, the Registrant is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support it. The FDIC formed the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) in accordance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (Reform Act). The FDIC will maintain the insurance reserves of the DIF by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium.
The FDIC adopted final regulations that implemented the Reform Act to create a stronger and more stable insurance system. The final regulations enable the FDIC to tie each depository institutions DIF insurance premiums both to the balance of insured deposits, as well as to the degree of risk the institution poses to the DIF. In addition, the FDIC has new flexibility to manage the DIFs reserve ratio within a range, which in turn may help prevent sharp swings in assessment rates that were possible under the design of the former system. Under the new risk-based assessment system, the FDIC will evaluate each depository institutions risk based on three primary sources of information: supervisory ratings for all insured institutions, financial ratios for most institutions, and long-term debt issuer ratings for large institutions that have them. Neither the Registrant nor the Bank has a long-term debt issuer rating. The ability to differentiate on the basis of risk will improve incentives for effective risk management and will reduce the extent to which safer banks subsidize riskier ones.
The 2008 DIF rates for nearly all depository institutions varied between five and seven cents for every $100 of deposits. The 2009 rates were approximately double those of the prior year as depository institutions classified in the FDICs Risk Category I were assessed between 12 and 14 cents for every $100 of deposits. The rates could increase up to 50 cents for every $100 of deposits for riskier institutions. In addition, the FDIC imposed a special assessment of 5 basis points on each insured institutions assets minus its Tier 1 capital on September 30, 2009. The FDIC passed a regulation in November 2010 that changed the deposit insurance assessment base from total domestic deposits to average total assets less average tangible equity.
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. Until the change in the law, only SAIF member institutions bore the cost of funding these interest payments.
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 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, 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 Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation, (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 Registrant or the Bank, or where compliance with these provisions will adversely affect a borrowers ability to comply with the terms of loan contracts.
Employees
As of February 29, 2012, the Registrant, the Bank and the Insurance Agency employed 146 employees, of which 114 were full-time employees. The Registrant, Bank, and Insurance Agency believe their relations with their employees are good.

The anticipated amortization period is used in the case of loans where a balloon payment is due before the end of the loans 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 loans payment history, the borrowers current financial condition, and other relevant factors. |

The evaluation of the loan portfolio is based upon various risk factors such as the financial condition of the borrower, the value of collateral and other considerations, which, in the opinion of management, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. |

The decrease in the allowance allocation to agricultural loans was due to the limited charge-off activity in this loan category. Although net charge-offs of commercial real estate loans were lower in 2011 than in the prior year, management believed that the continuing risk of loans secured by real estate warranted an increase in the allowance allocation. The allowance allocation to residential real estate loans was increased for the same reason and in recognition of the higher net charge-off level experienced in 2011.
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 is sufficient at December 31, 2011.
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 Registrant is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Although the Registrant seeks ways to manage these risks and develop programs to control risks to the extent that management can control them, the Registrant cannot predict the future. Actual results may differ materially from managements expectations. Some of these significant risks and uncertainties are discussed below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that the Registrant faces. Additional risks and uncertainties of which the Registrant is unaware, or that it currently does not consider to be material, also may become important factors that affect the Registrant and its business. If any of these risks were to occur, the Registrants business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Investments in the Registrants common stock involve risk.
The market price of the Registrants common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, including:
| Variations in quarterly or annual operating results |
| Changes in interest rates |
| New developments in the banking industry |
| Regulatory actions |
| 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 |
Asset quality could be less favorable than expected.
A significant source of risk for the Registrant 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 Registrant 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. In addition, collateral appraisals that are out of date or that do not meet industry recognized standards may create the impression that a loan is adequately collateralized when in fact it is not.
General economic conditions in the state of Michigan could be less favorable than expected.
The Registrant is affected by general economic conditions in the United States, although most directly within Michigan. A further 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.
Volatility and disruptions in the functioning of the financial markets and related liquidity issues could continue or worsen and, therefore, may adversely impact the Registrants business, financial condition and results of operations.
The financial markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption in recent periods. The impact of this situation, together with concerns regarding the financial strength of financial institutions, has led to distress in financial markets and issues relating to liquidity among financial institutions. As a result of concern about the
11
stability of the financial markets generally, the resulting credit availability issues, lack of confidence in the financial sector, increased volatility in the financial markets and reduced business activity could have a material adverse effect on the Registrants ability to access capital and manage liquidity. If current levels of financial market volatility and disruption continue or worsen, there can be no assurance that the Registrants business, financial condition and results of operations will not be materially and adversely impacted. There can be no assurances that recently enacted legislation, such as the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, and actions taken by the United States Department of the Treasury and the FDIC for the purpose of stabilizing the financial markets will achieve their intended effects, and the impact of such legislation and regulatory programs on the Registrant cannot reliably be determined at this time.
If the Registrant does not adjust to changes in the financial services industry, its financial performance may suffer.
The Registrants 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 Registrants customers and services. Financial services and products are also constantly changing. The Registrants financial performance will also depend in part upon customer demand for the Registrants products and services and the Registrants ability to develop and offer competitive financial products and services.
Changes in interest rates could reduce the Registrants income and cash flow.
The Registrants 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 Registrants 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.
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 Registrant and the Registrants 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.

Equity compensation plans approved by security holders include the Amended and Restated Executive Stock Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Shareholders at the Registrants 2002 Annual Meeting approved the Amended and Restated Executive Stock Incentive Plan. Key employees of the Registrant and its subsidiaries, as the Personnel and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors may select from time to time, are eligible to receive awards under this Plan. Incentive awards may
15
be stock options, stock appreciation rights or stock awards. The Plan provides for a maximum of 145,491 shares of the Registrants common stock, subject to adjustments for certain changes in the capital structure of the Registrant. New awards for up to 98,535 shares may be made under this Plan.
The number of shares available for issuance under the Plan is equal to the number determined by the following formula: (a) for the initial plan year, 5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding at the time the Plan became effective; plus (b) in each subsequent plan year, an additional number of shares of common stock not to exceed 2% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding as reported in the Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending immediately before such plan year such that at the beginning of each plan year after the initial plan year there shall be available, in addition to any amount of shares remaining from the 5% authorization for the initial plan year, a minimum number of shares equal to 2% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding; plus (c) there shall be carried forward and available for additional awards certain shares that are either unused, canceled or surrendered in connection with incentive awards.
Shareholders at the 2002 Annual Meeting approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This Plan allows employees to purchase the Registrants common stock at up to a 15% discount from the average bid price for the Registrants common stock. Employees who elect to participate in the plan can purchase shares of the Registrants common stock on a quarterly basis. The Plan provides for a maximum of 55,126 shares of the Registrants common stock, subject to adjustments for certain changes in the capital structure of the Registrant. Shareholders at the 2011 Annual Meeting approved an Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The new plan made an additional 50,000 available for purchase providing a total of 105,126 shares under the plan. As of December 31, 2011, new issuances for up to 50,663 shares may be made under the plan.
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders consist of the Directors Stock Purchase Plan. The Plan is designed to provide directors of the Registrant the option of receiving their fees in the Registrants stock. Directors who elect to participate in the Plan may elect to contribute to the Plan twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five or one hundred percent of their board of director fees and one hundred percent of their director committee fees earned as directors of the Registrant. Contributions to the Plan are made by the Registrant on behalf of each electing participant. Plan participants may terminate their participation in the Plan at any time by written notice of withdrawal to the Registrant. Participants will cease to be eligible to participate in the Plan when they cease to serve as directors of the Registrant. Shares are distributed to participants on a quarterly basis. The Plan provides for a maximum of 72,978 shares of the Registrants common stock, subject to adjustments for certain changes in the capital structure of the Registrant. New issuances for up to 8,198 shares may be made under this Plan.

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT between CHOICEONE FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Michigan Corporation (the Company), and JAMES A. BOSSERD, an individual residing in Sparta, Michigan (the Employee) is dated November 1, 2006 (the Effective Date) and completely amends and restates that employment agreement between the parties dated March 23, 2001.
WHEREAS, the Company has retained the services of the Employee as a senior executive officer, and the Employee has accepted such employment; and
WHEREAS, the parties have operated in an employment relationship for several years; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, which is intended to set forth in its entirety the terms and conditions of the employment relationship between the Company and the Employee; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved this Agreement and authorized the Chairman of the Board to enter into this Agreement with the Employee;
THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE as follows:
1. Employment. The Employee is employed to render such executive services to the Company as may from time to time be reasonably directed by the Companys Board of Directors. Among his other duties, it is contemplated that he will serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Companys subsidiary, ChoiceOne Bank (the Subsidiary Bank). Employee will have primary responsibility for the operation of the Company and the Subsidiary Bank. Employee shall devote his full time, best efforts and skill to the affairs of the Company. Employee will have no outside interests, business or otherwise, which interfere or conflict with his duties under this Agreement.
2. Compensation. The Company agrees to pay the Employee during the Term (defined below) of this Agreement a base salary in the sum of at least One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000) per annum (the Minimum Salary), provided, however, that any salary (other than bonuses provided for in Section 4 of this Agreement) paid to the Employee by any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed to reduce the salary paid to the Employee pursuant to this Section 2. The salary provided in this Section shall be payable in accordance with the periodic payment procedures for all employees of the Company. The Employees salary shall be reviewed by the Personnel and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors not less often than annually beginning on the date one year after the Effective Date (the First Anniversary Date) and may be increased (but not decreased) from time to time in such amounts as the Board in its discretion may determine; any such increased salary shall become the new Minimum Salary. The Employees salary shall be subject to the usual payroll taxes and withholding required with respect to compensation paid by a corporation to an employee.
-1-
3. Directors Fees. The Employee shall be paid the regular directors fees for attending meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company, but not meetings of committees of the Board. The Employee shall also be paid the regular directors fees for attending meetings of the Board of Directors of the Subsidiary Bank, but not meetings of committees thereof.
4. Discretionary Bonuses. In addition to the salary provided for in Section 2, the Employee shall be entitled to participate in discretionary bonuses as may be authorized and declared from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Subsidiary Bank. No other compensation provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed a substitute for the Employees right to participate in such bonuses when and as declared by the Board of Directors.
5. Retirement, Employee Benefit Plans, and Fringe Benefits.
(a) The Employee shall be entitled to participate in any plan of the Company or the Subsidiary Bank relating to pension, thrift, deferred profit-sharing, group life insurance, medical coverage, education, or other retirement or employee benefits that the Company or the Subsidiary Bank may adopt for the benefit of its executive employees.
(b) The Employee shall be eligible to participate in any other fringe benefits which may be, or may later become, applicable to the Companys or the Subsidiary Banks executive or salaried employees, including with respect to the Employee, but not limited to, the following: health plans; insurance plans; an automobile allowance of Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) per month; reimbursement for reasonable travel, entertainment and other expenses in rendering services for, on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company or the Subsidiary Bank; the payment of reasonable expenses for attending annual and periodic meetings of trade associations; and any other benefits which are commensurate with the responsibilities and functions to be performed by the Employee under this Agreement.
6. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be a period of three years commencing on the Effective Date, subject to earlier termination as provided in this Agreement. Beginning on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall be extended for a period of one year in addition to the then-remaining term, unless the Company has given notice to the Employee in writing at least 90 days prior to such anniversary that the term of this Agreement shall not be extended further; if such notice is given, this Agreement will expire at the end of the then-remaining term. References in this Agreement to the Term of this Agreement shall refer to both such initial term and such extended terms.
7. Non-Competition. In exchange for the promises made by Company in this Agreement, Employee agrees that, during the Non-Competition Period (defined below), he will not engage in any Prohibited Activity, whether as an employee, agent, consultant, representative, joint-venturer, owner or otherwise. The Non-Competition Period shall begin with the first day of this Agreement and continue as follows:
-2-
In the event that the Employees employment is terminated: |
then the Non-Competition Period shall last until: | |||
(a) |
by the Company for Cause, | the expiration of the then remaining Term. | ||
(b) |
by the Employee prior to a Change in Control of the Company for any reason, | the expiration of the then remaining Term. | ||
(c) |
by the Employee after a Change in Control of the Company without a Good Reason, | the expiration of the then remaining Term. | ||
(d) |
by the Company or the Employee for any other reason, | the Employees last day of employment for the Company. |
Prohibited Activity means directly or indirectly (a) soliciting or offering services or products competitive to those offered by or through the Company or any of its affiliates to any Customer; or (b) inducing any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates to leave his or her employment. Customer means any individual, corporation (including any non-profit corporation), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization or other entity who, at any time while the Employee was employed by the Company, (a) was a customer of the Company; or (b) was identified by the Company as a potential customer.
8. Standards. The Employee shall perform his duties under this Agreement in accordance with reasonable standards established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company.
9. Vacations. The Employee shall be entitled, without loss of pay, to absent himself voluntarily from the performance of his employment under this Agreement, all such voluntary absences to count as vacation or personal time, provided that:
(a) The Employee shall be entitled to twenty-six (26) personal and vacation days each year. Other than the length of vacation and personal time awarded, the Companys Vacation/Personal Days Policy will apply to the Employee.
(b) The timing of vacations shall be scheduled in a reasonable, mutually agreeable manner.
10. Termination of Employment.
(a) The Employees employment under this Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors of the Company for Cause (as defined below). The Employee shall have no right to receive severance pay or any other remuneration whatsoever under this Agreement for any period after voluntary termination without Good Reason (as defined below) or termination for Cause.
-3-
For purposes of this Agreement, termination for Cause shall mean termination of employment for only the following reasons:
(i) Willful misconduct materially adverse to the Company or the Subsidiary Bank;
(ii) Willful breach of a fiduciary duty involving personal profit;
(iii) Willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation materially relating to the operation of the Company or the Subsidiary Bank;
(iv) The order of any court or supervising agency with jurisdiction over the affairs of the Company or the Subsidiary Bank; or
(v) The Employees intentional violation of any material provision of this Agreement, if Employee fails to cure the breach within a reasonable time after written notice from the Companys Board of Directors informing him of the breach.
For purposes of this Agreement, no act or failure to act on the Employees behalf shall be considered willful or intentional unless done, or admitted to be done, by him not in good faith and unless he knew or should have known that his action or omission was not in, or was opposed to, the best interests of the Company or the Subsidiary Bank; provided, that any act or omission to act on the Employees behalf in reliance upon an opinion of counsel to the Company shall not be deemed to be willful or intentional. The Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated for cause unless or until there shall have been delivered to him a copy of a certification of a majority of the non-officer members of the Company Board of Directors finding that, in the good faith opinion of such majority, the employee was guilty of conduct deemed to be cause and specifying the details thereof, after reasonable notice to the Employee and an opportunity for him, together with his counsel, to be heard before such majority. No such determination of the Board shall affect Employees right to determination through the legal system of whether there was in fact cause for termination.
(b) The Employee may terminate his employment at any time upon ninety (90) days written notice to the Company or upon such shorter period as may be agreed upon between the Employee and the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event of such termination without Good Reason, the Company shall be obligated only to continue to pay the Employees salary and provide the other compensation and benefits provided by this Agreement up to the date of the termination.
(c) The Employee may terminate his employment with the Company for Good Reason after a Change in Control of the Company, which shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events without the Employees consent:
-4-
(i) A material demotion or other adverse change made by the Company in the Employees status or position as a senior executive officer of the Company or the Subsidiary Bank;
(ii) The assignment to the Employee of any duties or responsibilities which are materially inconsistent with such status or position, or a material reduction in the duties and responsibilities previously exercised by the Employee;
(iii) The imposition of any requirement, whether by relocation of the Companys offices or otherwise, that the Employee perform his normal day-to-day duties and responsibilities outside of an area within a thirty (30) mile radius of Sparta, Michigan;
(iv) Failure of the Company to elect the Employee as Chief Executive Officer of the Company or as Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Subsidiary Bank; or
(v) Material breach by the Company of any material provision of this Agreement, if the Company fails to cure the breach within a reasonable time after Employee has given the Companys Board of Directors written notice of the breach.
Before terminating his employment for Good Reason pursuant to this Section 9(c), the Employee shall give written notice to the Companys Board of Directors of the act or omission constituting Good Reason, within 60 days after the occurrence of such act or omission. If the Board of Directors promptly corrects such act or omission, and takes reasonable measures to prevent its recurrence, Employee shall not be entitled to terminate the employment with Good Reason. Otherwise, Employee may terminate the employment for Good Reason within 60 days after such notice to the Board of Directors. If Employee fails to give notice as provided above, Employee may not terminate the Employment for Good Reason on account of such act or omission.
(d) If the Employees employment is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason after a Change in Control of the Company or by the Company without Cause, the Employee shall be entitled to continuation of his salary (provided in Section 2) and benefits (provided in Section 5) until the end of the term of this Agreement as if termination of his employment had not occurred.
If the termination by the Company occurs prior to a Change in Control of the Company, then Employee must use his reasonable efforts to procure new employment. Any new compensation and/or benefits Employee receives from such new employment, including self-employment, shall reduce the payments or benefit obligations due under this Section.
-5-
If the termination by the Company occurs after a Change in Control of the Company, then payment of salary and continuation of benefits as provided in this Section shall continue regardless of whether the Employee finds new employment following such termination, and without reduction due to any earnings and/or benefits received by Employee from any other employment or self employment. If continuation of a specific benefit is not possible under applicable law, Employee shall be provided with an equal substitute benefit or, if that is not possible, with cash in lieu of such benefit; such substitute benefit or cash shall be structured or supplemented as necessary to place Employee in the same economic position, after all applicable taxes, as if the benefit had been continued.
Notwithstanding the preceding, if, at the time the payments under this Section would commence, Employee is a specified employee within the meaning of IRC Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i), no payment may be made under this Section before the date that is six months after Employees separation from service. Payments to which Employee would otherwise have been entitled under this Section during that six months will be accumulated and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Employees separation from service.
If any payment to or benefit continuation for the Employee pursuant to Agreement constitutes a parachute payment under Internal Revenue Code Section 280(G) and, when added to all other payments to the Employee that are parachute payments would result in excess parachute payments to Employee (as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 280(G)) being nondeductible by the Corporation under Internal Revenue Code Section 280(G), then the payments and benefit continuation provided for under this Section shall be reduced (but not below 0) or delayed until there are no such excess parachute payments. The amount of any reduction or delay shall be determined by the Companys certified public accountants, in consultation with the Employee, and to the extent possible Employee shall have the option to choose which payments or benefits shall be reduced or delayed.
(e) In the event of the death of the Employee while still employed under this Agreement, the Employees estate or beneficiary shall not be entitled to salary and benefit continuation under this Section, but shall be entitled to receive the salary due the Employee through the last day of the calendar month in which his death shall have occurred, plus such other benefits as shall have accrued under this Agreement up to the date of death.
(f) A Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred as of the first day that there is a change in the ownership, the effective control, or the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of IRC Proposed Regulation Section 1.409A-3(g)(5), as amended.
-6-
The parties agree that the strategic merger of equals between ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. and Valley Ridge Financial Corp. does not constitute a Change in Control under this Agreement and does not trigger any payments required by this Section and the Employee hereby waives any right to any such payment as a result of that transaction.
(g) If the Employee shall become and remain disabled to the extent that he is unable to perform his duties under this Agreement for a continuous period of six months or more, the Board of Directors of the Company may terminate Employees employment without salary or benefit continuation under Section 9(d). For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee shall be considered disabled if he is prevented from performing his essential duties under this Agreement by (i) accidental bodily injury; (ii) sickness; (iii) mental illness; or (iv) substance abuse.
11. Attorney Fees. In the event that the Company exercises its right of termination for Cause, but it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by an arbitrator that cause did not exist for such termination, or if in any event it is determined by any such court or arbitrator that the Company or the Subsidiary Bank has failed to make timely payment of any amounts owed to the Employee under this Agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable costs, including attorneys fees, incurred in challenging such termination or collecting such amounts. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to any rights to which the Employee is otherwise entitled under this Agreement.
12. No Assignment.
(a) This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and neither party may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party; provided, however, that the Company may assign this Agreement to any subsidiary of the Company and shall require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or the Subsidiary Bank, by an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Employee, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such an assumption agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Employee to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the compensation pursuant to Section 9(d). For purposes of implementing the provisions of this Section 11(a), the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date of termination.
-7-
(b) This Agreement and all rights of the Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee s personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Employee should die while any amounts would still be payable to the Employee under this Agreement if the Employee had continued to live (including but not limited to salary and benefit continuation to which Employee becomes conditioned under Section 9(d) as a result of a covered termination of the employment before Employee s death), all such amounts, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Employee s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to the Employee s estate.
13. Other Contracts. All other prior agreements regarding conditions of employment, whether written or oral, are hereby superseded by this Agreement.
14. Notices. Any notices under this Agreement shall be deemed given when in writing and delivered personally or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to the last known address of the party to whom notice is given. If sent by mail, notice shall be deemed given on the second day after mailing.
15. Amendments. No amendments or additions to this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by both parties, except as herein otherwise provided.
16. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are included solely for convenience and shall not affect or be used in connection with the interpretation of this Agreement.
17. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.
18. Governing Law. Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
19. Remedies/Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator in a hearing to be held in Kent County, Michigan, in accordance with the then existing rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

4
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any cost, liability or expense imposed or incurred in connection with such persons or the Committees taking or failing to take any action under the Plan. Each such person shall be justified in relying on information furnished in connection with the Plans administration by any appropriate person or persons.
SECTION 4
Shares Subject to the Plan
4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 of the Plan, the total number of shares of Common Stock available for Incentive Awards under the Plan shall be (a) for the initial Plan Year, 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time the Plan becomes effective; plus (b) in each subsequent Plan Year, an additional number of shares of Common Stock not to exceed 2% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending immediately before such Plan Year such that at the beginning of each Plan Year after the initial Plan Year there shall be available, in addition to any amount of shares remaining from the 5% authorization for the initial Plan Year, a minimum number of shares equal to 2% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding; plus (c) there shall be carried forward and available for Incentive Awards under the Plan all of the following (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2): (i) shares subject to Incentive Awards that are canceled, surrendered, modified, exchanged for substitute Incentive Awards or expire or terminate prior to the exercise or vesting of the Incentive Award in full; (ii) with respect to any succeeding Plan Year, any unused portion of the amount set forth in subsection (a) above; and (iii) shares that are surrendered to the Company in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Incentive Award, whether previously owned or otherwise subject to such Incentive Award. Such shares shall be authorized and may be either unissued or treasury shares.
4.2 Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding changes by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other general distribution of Common Stock or other securities to holders of Common Stock, the number and kind of securities subject to Incentive Awards and reserved for issuance under the Plan, together with applicable exercise prices, as well as the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, shall be adjusted appropriately. No fractional shares shall be issued pursuant to the Plan and any fractional shares resulting from such adjustments shall be eliminated from the respective Incentive Awards.
(b) Other Actions Affecting Common Stock. If there occurs, other than as described in the preceding subsection, any merger, business combination, recapitalization, reclassification, subdivision or combination approved by the Board that would result in the Persons who were shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the effective time of any such transaction owning or holding, in lieu of or in addition to
5
shares of Common Stock, other securities, money and/or property (or the right to receive other securities, money and/or property) immediately after the effective time of such transaction, then the outstanding Incentive Awards and reserves for Incentive Awards under this Plan shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as shall be equitable under the circumstances. It is intended that in the event of any such transaction, Incentive Awards under this Plan shall entitle the holder of each Incentive Award to receive (upon exercise in the case of Stock Options), in lieu of or in addition to shares of Common Stock, any other securities, money and/or property receivable upon consummation of any such transaction by holders of Common Stock with respect to each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of such transaction; upon any such adjustment, holders of Incentive Awards under this Plan shall have only the right to receive in lieu of or in addition to shares of Common Stock such other securities, money and/or other property as provided by the adjustment. If the agreement, resolution or other document approved by the Board to effect any such transaction provides for the adjustment of Incentive Awards under the Plan in connection with such transaction, then the adjustment provisions contained in such agreement, resolution or other document shall be final and conclusive.
SECTION 5
Stock Options
5.1 Grant. A Participant may be granted one or more Stock Options under the Plan. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the initial grant of a Stock Option for the subsequent automatic grant of additional Stock Options for the number of shares that are subject to the initial Stock Option and surrendered to the Company in connection with the exercise of the initial or any subsequently granted Stock Option. Stock Options shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may vary, among Participants and among Stock Options granted to the same Participant, any and all of the terms and conditions of the Stock Options granted under the Plan. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Stock Options granted to each Participant. The Committee may designate whether or not a Stock Option is to be considered an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422(b) of the Code; provided, that the number of shares of Common Stock that may be designated as subject to incentive stock options for any given Participant shall be limited to that number of shares that become exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any Plan Year (under all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and have an aggregate Market Value less than or equal to $100,000 (or such other amount as may be set forth in the Code) and all shares subject to an Incentive Award that have a Market Value in excess of such aggregate amount shall automatically be subject to Stock Options that are not incentive stock options.
6
5.2 Stock Option Agreements. Stock Options shall be evidenced by stock option agreements containing such terms and conditions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall from time to time determine. To the extent not covered by the stock option agreement, the terms and conditions of this Section 5 shall govern.
5.3 Stock Option Price. The per share Stock Option price shall be determined by the Committee, but shall be a price that is equal to or higher than the par value of the Companys Common Stock; provided that the per share Stock Option price for any shares designated as incentive stock options shall be equal to or greater than 100% of the Market Value on the date of grant.
5.4 Medium and Time of Payment. The exercise price for each share purchased pursuant to a Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be payable in cash or, if the Committee consents, in shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock to be received upon a simultaneous exercise) or other consideration substantially equivalent to cash. The time and terms of payment may be amended with the consent of a Participant before or after exercise of a Stock Option. The Committee may from time to time authorize payment of all or a portion of the Stock Option price in the form of a promissory note or other deferred payment installments according to such terms as the Committee may approve. The Board may restrict or suspend the power of the Committee to permit such loans and may require that adequate security be provided.
5.5 Stock Options Granted to Ten Percent Shareholders. No Stock Option granted to any Participant who at the time of such grant owns, together with stock attributed to such Participant under Section 424(d) of the Code, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be designated as an incentive stock option, unless such Stock Option provides an exercise price equal to at least 110% of the Market Value of the Common Stock and the exercise of the Stock Option after the expiration of five years from the date of grant of the Stock Option is prohibited by its terms.
5.6 Limits on Exercisability. Except as provided in Section 5.5, Stock Options shall be exercisable for such periods, not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant, as may be fixed by the Committee. At the time of the exercise of a Stock Option, the holder of the Stock Option, if requested by the Committee, must represent to the Company that the shares are being acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. The Committee may in its discretion require a Participant to continue the Participants service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for a certain length of time prior to a Stock Option becoming exercisable and may eliminate such delayed vesting provisions.
7
5.7 Restrictions on Transferability.
(a) General. Unless the Committee otherwise consents (before or after the option grant) or unless the stock option agreement or grant provides otherwise; (i) no incentive stock options granted under the Plan may be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated except by will or the laws of descent and distribution; and (ii) all Stock Options that are not incentive stock options may be transferred, provided, that as a condition to any such transfer the transferee must execute a written agreement permitting the Company to withhold from the shares subject to the Stock Option a number of shares having a Market Value at least equal to the amount of any federal, state or local withholding or other taxes associated with or resulting from the exercise of the Stock Option. All provisions of a Stock Option that are determined with reference to the Participant, including without limitation those that refer to the Participants employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries, shall continue to be determined with reference to the Participant after any transfer of a Stock Option.
(b) Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose other restrictions on any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option under the Plan as the Committee deems advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws.
5.8 Termination of Employment.
(a) General. If a Participant is no longer employed by the Company or its Subsidiary for any reason other than the Participants Consensual Severance, Retirement, death, disability or termination for cause, the Participant may exercise his or her Stock Options in accordance with their terms for a period of three months after such termination of employment unless the terms of the applicable stock option agreement or grant provide otherwise, but only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the Stock Options on the date of termination. For purposes of the Plan: (i) a transfer of an employee from the Company to any Subsidiary; (ii) a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company, for military service or for any other purpose approved by the Company if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days; and (iii) a leave of absence in excess of 90 days, duly authorized in writing by the Company, provided the employees right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute, contract or written policy of the Company shall not be deemed a termination of employment. For purposes of the Plan, termination of employment shall be considered to occur on the date on which the employee is no longer obligated to perform services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the employees right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute, contract or written policy of the Company, regardless of whether the employee continues to receive compensation from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after such date.
(b) Consensual Severance. If a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries due to Consensual Severance, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit the Participant to exercise his or her Stock Options in accordance with their terms and to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise
8
the Stock Options on the date of termination for a period of time after such termination of employment as may be determined by the Committee, provided, that such period may not extend beyond the earlier of three years after the date of termination or the dates on which such Stock Options expire by their terms.
(c) Retirement. If a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries due to Retirement, the Participant may exercise his or her Stock Options in accordance with their terms for a period of three years after such termination of employment unless such Stock Options earlier expire by their terms, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Stock Options on the date of termination.
(d) Disability. If a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries due to the Participants disability, he or she may exercise his or her Stock Options in accordance with their terms for one year after he or she ceases to be employed unless such Stock Options earlier expire by their terms, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Stock Options on the date of such termination.
(e) Death. If a Participant dies either while an employee or otherwise during a time when the Participant could have exercised a Stock Option, the Stock Options issued to such Participant shall be exercisable in accordance with their terms by the personal representative of such Participant or other successor to the interest of the Participant for a period of one year after such Participants death to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Stock Options on the date of death but not beyond the original term of the Stock Options.
(f) Termination for Cause. If a Participants employment is terminated for cause, the Participant shall have no further right to exercise any Stock Options previously granted him or her.
SECTION 6
Stock Appreciation Rights
6.1 Grant. A Participant may be granted one or more Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan and such Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. A Stock Appreciation Right may relate to a particular Stock Option and may be granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the Stock Option to which it relates. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the same restrictions and conditions as Stock Options under subsections 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8 of the Plan. To the extent granted in tandem with a Stock Option, the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall, in exchange for the right to exercise a related Stock Option, entitle a Participant to an amount equal to the appreciation in value of the shares covered by the related Stock Option surrendered. Such appreciation in value shall be equal to the excess of the Market Value of such shares at the time of the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right over the option price of such shares.
9
6.2 Exercise; Payment. To the extent granted in tandem with a Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised only when a related Stock Option could be exercised and only when the Market Value of the stock subject to the Stock Option exceeds the exercise price of the Stock Option. The Committee shall have discretion to determine the form of payment made upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, which may take the form of shares of Common Stock.
SECTION 7
Stock Awards
7.1 Grant. A Participant may be granted one or more Stock Awards under the Plan. Stock Awards shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
7.2 Rights as a Shareholder. A Participant shall have all voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights with respect to shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant as a Stock Award under this Section 7 upon the Participant becoming the holder of record of the Common Stock granted pursuant to such Stock Awards; provided, that the Committee may impose such restrictions on the assignment or transfer of Common Stock awarded pursuant to a Stock Award as it deems appropriate and may require the Participant to continue in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary for a specified period of time after the award.
SECTION 8
Change in Control
Without in any way limiting the Committees discretion, the Committee may include in any Incentive Award provisions for acceleration of any vesting or other similar requirements or for the elimination of any restrictions upon Incentive Awards upon a Change in Control of the Company. The Committee also may include provisions for Participants to receive cash in lieu of outstanding Stock Options upon a Change in Control of the Company.
SECTION 9
General Provisions
9.1 No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Incentive Award under the Plan and there is no obligation of uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Incentive Awards under the Plan. The terms and
10
conditions of Incentive Awards of the same type and the determination of the Committee to grant a waiver or modification of any Incentive Award and the terms and conditions thereof need not be the same with respect to each Participant or among awards to the same Participant.
9.2 Withholding. The Company or a Subsidiary shall be entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of a Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to a Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary), or make other arrangements for the collection of, all amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state and local withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to an Incentive Award or any action related to an Incentive Award, including, without limitation, the grant, exercise or vesting of, or payment of dividends with respect to, an Incentive Award or a disqualifying disposition of Common Stock received upon exercise of an incentive stock option; or (b) require a Participant promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any action with respect to an Incentive Award. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, withholding may be satisfied by withholding Common Stock to be received upon exercise or by delivery to the Company of previously owned Common Stock. The Company may establish such rules and procedures concerning timing of any withholding election as it deems appropriate.
9.3 Compliance With Laws; Listing and Registration of Shares. All Incentive Awards granted under the Plan (and all issuances of Common Stock or other securities under the Plan) shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to the requirement that if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares covered thereby upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of such Incentive Award or the issue or purchase of shares thereunder, such Incentive Award may not be exercised in whole or in part, or the restrictions on such Incentive Award shall not lapse, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
9.4 No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, including the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
9.5 No Right to Employment. The grant of an Incentive Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company or any Subsidiary may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any written agreement with a Participant.
9.6 Suspension of Rights under Incentive Awards. The Company, by written notice to a Participant, may suspend a Participants and any transferees rights under any Incentive Award for a period not to exceed 30 days while the termination for cause of that Participants employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is under consideration.
11
9.7 Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan and applicable federal law.
9.8 Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
9.9 Change of Name. The Plan shall be automatically amended to reflect any change in the name of the Company.
SECTION 10
Termination and Amendment
The Board may terminate the Plan at any time, or may from time to time amend the Plan as it deems proper and in the best interests of the Company, provided that no such amendment may impair any outstanding Incentive Award without the consent of the Participant, except according to the terms of the Plan or the Incentive Award. No termination, amendment or modification of the Plan shall become effective with respect to any Incentive Award previously granted under the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant holding such Incentive Award unless such amendment or modification operates solely to the benefit of the Participant.
SECTION 11
Effective Date and Duration of the Plan
This Plan shall take effect April 27, 2000, subject to approval by the shareholders. No Incentive Award shall be granted under the Plan after April 26, 2010.

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is designed to provide a review of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (ChoiceOne or the Company), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ChoiceOne Bank (the Bank) and ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. (the Insurance Agency). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion and other sections of this annual report contain forward-looking statements that are based on managements beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and ChoiceOne itself. Words such as anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, forecasts, intends, is likely, plans, predicts, projects, may, could, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Managements determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of goodwill and loan servicing rights, and the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other than temporary) and managements assumptions concerning pension and other postretirement benefit plans involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions (risk factors) that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood, and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, ChoiceOne undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K; changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking laws and regulations; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies, and assessments; the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of pending and future litigation and contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their abilities to repay loans; changes in the local and national economies; changes in market conditions; the level and timing of asset growth; various other local and global uncertainties such as acts of terrorism and military actions; and current uncertainties and fluctuations in the financial markets and stocks of financial services providers due to concerns about capital and credit availability and concerns about the Michigan economy in particular. These are representative of the risk factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The purpose of this section of the 2011 Annual Report to Shareholders is to provide a narrative discussion about the Companys financial condition and results of operations during 2011. Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations as well as disclosures found elsewhere in the 2011 Annual Report to Shareholders are based upon the Companys 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 allowance for loan losses and loan servicing rights. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities
Securities available for sale may be sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rate, 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 securitys fair value has been less than its carrying value, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Banks ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
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.
4
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. Managements evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, assessments of the impact of current economic conditions on the portfolio and historical loss experience of seasoned loan portfolios.
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 Companys 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. Managements 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 ChoiceOnes 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.
Management performed its annual review of goodwill as of June 30, 2011. ChoiceOne engaged an outside consulting firm to assist in the goodwill impairment analysis. The following steps were used in the valuation: determination of the reporting unit, determination of the appropriate standard of value, determination of the appropriate level of value, calculation of fair value, and comparison of the fair value computed to the equity carrying value. It was determined that the relevant reporting unit to be valued was ChoiceOne Bank. The standard of value used in the valuation was fair value as determined by generally accepted accounting principles. The appropriate level of value was determined to be the controlling interest level. The appraisal methodology used to calculate the fair value included the following valuation approaches:
Income Approach: A discounted cash flow value was calculated based on earnings capacity. The discount rate used for the calculation was 12.90%. The growth assumption for assets was 0.2% for the first year and 1.0% in subsequent years. In addition, it was assumed that cost savings of 20% of noninterest expense would occur as a result of synergies and cost reductions from a change in control.
Market Approach: The analysis was based on price-to-earnings multiples, price-to-tangible book value ratios, and core deposit premiums for selected bank sale transactions.
The Asset Approach was also an approach reviewed, but it was not used in determining the fair value since it did not render a control level indication of value. The results from the valuation approaches were used to calculate an estimate of the fair value of ChoiceOnes equity. The fair value was compared to the carrying value of equity to determine whether the Step 1 test under generally accepted accounting principles that govern the valuation of goodwill was passed. The goodwill analysis determined that the fair value of ChoiceOnes equity exceeded the carrying value by 7.8%. Based on this assessment, management believed that there was no indication of goodwill impairment.
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
5
more likely than not standard. Based on its review of ChoiceOnes deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011, management determined that a valuation allowance of $89,000 was necessary.

Net income for 2011 was $3,513,000, which represented an $802,000 or 30% increase from 2010. The growth in net income resulted from increases in net interest income and noninterest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses, which was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense in 2011 compared to 2010. The increase in net interest income was due to growth in average earning assets and an increase in ChoiceOnes net interest spread in 2011 compared to the prior year. The expansion in noninterest income was due to growth in customer service charges and other noninterest income and an improvement in gains (losses) on sales of other assets in 2011 compared to 2010. The decrease in the provision for loan losses resulted from lower net charge-offs in 2011 than in 2010 and a $1.8 million reduction in nonperforming loans from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The increase in noninterest expense was due to higher salaries and benefits, professional fees, and other noninterest expense as well as smaller increases in other expense categories in 2011 compared to the prior year.
Net income for 2010 was $2,711,000, which represented a $1,233,000 or 84% increase from 2009. The growth in net income resulted from increases in net interest income and noninterest income while decreases occurred in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expense in 2010 compared to 2009. The increase in net interest income was due to growth in average earning assets and an increase in ChoiceOnes net interest spread in 2010 compared to the prior year. The expansion in noninterest income was due to higher levels of gains on sales of loans and gains on sales of securities in 2010 than in 2009. The decrease in the provision for loan losses resulted from lower net charge-offs in 2010 than in 2009 and a $5.6 million reduction in nonperforming loans from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010. The small decline in noninterest expense was due to lower occupancy and equipment expense, loan and collection expense, and FDIC insurance expense, offset by increases in salaries and benefits and various other expenses in 2010 compared to the prior year.
Dividends
Cash dividends of $1,578,000 or $0.48 per common share were declared in 2011, compared to $1,572,000 or $0.48 per common share in 2010 and $1,563,000 or $0.48 per common share in 2009. Dividends declared were $0.12 per share in each quarter in 2011, 2010, and 2009. The dividend yield on ChoiceOnes common stock was 4.05% in 2011, compared to 4.79% in 2010 and 6.66% in 2009. The cash dividend payout as a percentage of net income was 45% in 2011, compared to 58% in 2010 and 106% in 2009.
ChoiceOnes principal source of funds to pay cash dividends is the earnings of the Bank. The availability of these earnings is dependent upon the capital needs, regulatory constraints and other factors involving the Bank. Regulatory constraints include the maintenance of minimum capital ratios and limits based on net income and retained earnings of the Bank for the past three years. ChoiceOne expects to pay quarterly cash dividends in 2012 to shareholders based on the actual earnings of the Bank, although the amount of the quarterly dividends will be dependent on market conditions and ChoiceOnes requirements for cash and capital, among other things.

|
(1) | Interest on nontaxable securities and loans has been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis to facilitate comparison to the taxable interest-earning assets. The adjustment uses an incremental tax rate of 34% for the years presented. |
(2) | Interest on loans included net origination fees charged on loans of approximately $831,000, $751,000, and $783,000 in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. |
(3) | Interest on taxable securities includes dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock. |
(4) | Noninterest-earning assets include loans on a nonaccrual status, which averaged approximately $6,256,000, $10,286,000, and $8,961,000 in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. |
Net Interest Income
As shown in Tables 1 and 2, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $857,000 in 2011 compared to 2010. The growth was due to growth of $15.4 million in average interest-earning assets in 2011 compared to 2010 and a 10 basis point increase in ChoiceOnes net interest income spread compared to 2010. The higher level of average interest-earning assets contributed an additional $842,000 in net interest income in 2011 compared to 2010, while the growth in the net interest income spread caused an increase of $15,000 in net interest income in 2011 compared to the prior year.
7
The average balance of loans increased $2.2 million in 2011 compared to 2010. A 26 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on loans had a larger impact on interest income on loans as it declined $686,000 in 2011 compared to the prior year. The average balance of total securities increased by $18.5 million in 2011 compared to 2010. This growth in the average balance, partially offset by a lower average rate earned on securities, caused interest income from securities to increase $132,000 in 2011 compared to the prior year. A decrease in the average balance of other interest-earning assets, offset by an increase in the average rate earned resulted in a decrease in interest income of $2,000 in 2011 compared to 2010. Although the average balance of loans grew slightly in 2011 compared to 2010, loan demand continued to be sluggish due to continued concerns about the Michigan economy. Growth in securities was due to ChoiceOnes desire to achieve growth in earning assets.
The average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased $16.1 million in 2011 compared to 2010. The effect of this increase, offset by an 8 basis point decline in the average rate paid, caused interest expense to be $12,000 lower in 2011 than in the prior year. The effect of a 9 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on savings deposits in 2011 compared to 2010 was partially offset by the effect of growth of $5.2 million in the average balance as interest expense dropped $29,000. The average balance of certificates of deposit was $6.9 million lower in 2011 than in the prior year. Approximately $5.3 million of the certificates of deposit decline was related to certificates from ChoiceOnes local markets, while the remaining $1.6 million was a lower level of brokered certificates. The average balance decrease plus the effect of a 51 basis point decline in the average rate paid caused interest expense on certificates of deposit to fall $917,000 in 2011 compared to 2010. An $8.0 million decrease in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and a 91 basis point decrease in the average rate paid caused interest expense to decline $441,000 in 2011 compared to the prior year. Interest expense on other interest-bearing liabilities fell $14,000 in 2011 compared to 2010 due to a reduction of 21 basis points in the average interest rate paid, which was partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in the average balance. The growth experienced in 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.
ChoiceOnes net interest income spread was 4.22% (shown in Table 1) for 2011, compared to 4.12% in 2010. The average yield received on interest-earning assets in 2011 decreased 33 basis points to 5.23% while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in 2011 fell 43 basis points to 1.01%. The decline in general market interest rates in both 2010 and 2011 caused the reduction in rates for both assets and liabilities in the two time periods.

(1) | The volume variance is computed as the change in volume (average balance) multiplied by the previous years interest rate.

(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. |
8
Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $809,000 in 2010 compared to 2009. The increase was caused by $8.0 million growth in average earning assets and a 22 basis point increase in the net interest spread in 2010 compared to the prior year. The growth in average earning assets resulted from an increase of $9.5 million in securities, which was partially offset by a $5.3 million decline in loans. The growth in ChoiceOnes net interest spread was caused by a 66 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities compared to a 44 basis point decline in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets.
Management anticipates that the level of net interest income in 2012 will depend upon the Banks ability to grow or maintain interest-earning assets in the form of loans and securities as well as its ability to do the same with its base of core deposits. Growth in earning assets will continue to be dependent on the Michigan economy. If growth in loans is difficult to obtain, the Bank can opt to invest in securities as it did in 2011. The Banks ability to maintain or grow its net interest spread will be contingent on movement in general market interest rates and their effect on new and maturing assets and liabilities.

As shown in Table 3, the provision for loan losses was $250,000 lower in 2011 than in 2010. The reduction in the provision level resulted in part from a decrease of $327,000 in net charge-offs experienced in 2011 compared to 2010. Net charge-offs of commercial and industrial loans declined $501,000 and net charge-offs of commercial real estate loans decreased $239,000 in 2011 compared to 2010. Net charge-offs of residential real estate loans increased from $1.1 million in 2010 to $1.6 million in 2011. Both the continuing sluggish economy affecting the ability of borrowers to pay and declining property values were factors in the increase in 2011. Consumer loan net charge-offs were down slightly in 2011 compared to the prior year. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased from 1.49% as of the end of 2010 to 1.63% as of the end of 2011. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased from 56% as of December 31, 2010 to 78% as of December 31, 2011. This was due to growth of $484,000 in the allowance balance and a reduction of nonperforming loans from $8.4 million as of the end of 2010 to $6.7 million as of the end of 2011. ChoiceOne had $431,000 of specific allowance allocations for problem loans as of the end of 2011, compared to $582,000 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 2011 and 2010 were reasonable based on the circumstances surrounding each particular borrower.
The following schedule presents an allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various loan categories as of the years ended December 31:

The decrease in the allowance allocation to agricultural loans was due to the limited charge-off activity in this loan category. Although net charge-offs of commercial real estate loans were lower in 2011 than in the prior year, management believed that the continuing risk of loans secured by real estate warranted an increase in the allowance allocation. The allowance allocation to residential real estate loans was increased for the same reason and in recognition of the higher net charge-off level experienced in 2011.
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 declining 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, 2011 is 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 Banks management and adjusted as necessary.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income increased $570,000 in 2011 compared to 2010. Customer service charges increased $294,000 in 2011 compared to the prior year as growth in debit card interchange fees and checking account fees were partially offset by a continued decline in overdraft fees. Gains on sales of securities declined $408,000 in 2011 compared to the prior year. Gains on sales of securities in 2010 included $386,000 from sales of preferred stock that represented a recovery of losses recognized on money market preferred securities in 2008. Gains (losses) on sales of other assets improved by $461,000 as write-downs of values of other real estate properties and losses on sales of properties were less in 2011 than in 2010. Most of the $163,000 increase in other noninterest income resulted from amortization of mark-to-market adjustment of mortgage servicing fees that ended in October 2010.
Total noninterest income increased $148,000 in 2010 compared to 2009. Customer service charges were virtually unchanged as decreases in overdraft charges were offset by increases in fees from debit card usage. Gains on sales of loans grew $81,000 in 2010
10
compared to the prior year as mortgage refinancing activity continued to be stimulated by low interest rates for long-term fixed rate mortgages. ChoiceOnes net gains on sales of securities grew $135,000 in 2010 compared to 2009. Gains on sales of preferred stock were $386,000 in 2010 compared to $245,000 in the prior year. These gains represented a recovery of losses recognized on money market preferred securities in 2008. The loss on other than temporary impairment of securities in 2010 and 2009 was related to a municipal security that defaulted upon its maturity in September 2009.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense increased $539,000 in 2011 compared to 2010. Salaries and benefits increased $308,000 in 2011 compared to the prior year as a result of staffing additions and increased incentives. Occupancy and equipment expense was $90,000 higher in 2011 than in 2010 as depreciation expense, utilities, and various other expenses increased from the prior year. The $89,000 increase in data processing expense in 2011 compared to the prior year resulted from higher costs related to electronic banking usage. Professional fees were $118,000 higher in 2011 than in 2010 due to increases in legal, accounting, and consulting costs. Loan and collection expense declined $103,000 in 2011 compared to 2010 due to lower collection costs for problem loans, including amounts paid for outside collection services. FDIC insurance expense was $153,000 lower in 2011 than in the prior year due to a change in the assessment base for insurance beginning in the second quarter of 2011. Other noninterest expense grew by $178,000 in 2011 compared to 2010 as a result of increases in training and recruiting expenses, directors fees, loan-related expense, and a number of other expense accounts.
Total noninterest expense decreased $10,000 in 2010 compared to 2009. Salaries and benefits increased $138,000 in 2010 compared to the prior year, partly due to an increase of $113,000 in 401(k) plan expense as ChoiceOne reinstated its company contribution in 2010. Occupancy and equipment expense was $70,000 lower in 2010 than in 2009 as depreciation expense and various other expenses declined from the prior year. The $52,000 increase in data processing expense in 2010 compared to the prior year resulted from higher costs related to electronic banking usage. Professional fees were $46,000 higher in 2010 than in 2009 due to increases in legal, accounting, and consulting costs. Advertising and promotional expense grew $44,000 in 2010 compared to the prior year as a result of more promotion of ChoiceOnes new and existing products. Loan and collection expense declined $99,000 in 2010 compared to 2009 due to lower collection costs for problem loans. FDIC insurance expense was $144,000 lower in 2010 than in the prior year due to a special assessment of $204,000 that was levied in the second quarter of 2009, the effect of which was partially offset by higher deposit balances in 2010 than in 2009. Other noninterest expense grew by $51,000 in 2010 compared to 2009 as a result of changes in a number of expense accounts.
Income Taxes
Income taxes were $1,060,000 in 2011, compared to tax expense of $654,000 in 2010 and a tax benefit of $195,000 in 2009. The change in the income tax effect from 2010 to 2011 was caused by a $1.2 million increase in income before income tax in 2011 compared to the prior year. The tax benefit realized in 2009 was due to the level of ChoiceOnes tax-exempt interest income, which was larger than income before income tax.

Financial Condition
Summary
Total assets were $495.9 million as of December 31, 2011, which represented an increase of $15.4 million or 3% from the end of 2010. Cash and cash equivalents declined $6.9 million in 2011 as funds from deposit growth were invested into securities to build earning assets. Securities available for sale increased $23.5 million during 2011 as management purchased securities to use funds that were provided by deposit growth. Loans grew $3.2 million in 2011 with most of the growth coming from agricultural loans. Total deposits grew $13.5 million in 2011 due to increases in checking and savings deposits, which were partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit.

The securities available for sale portfolio increased $23.5 million from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. ChoiceOne purchased a mix of government agency, municipal, mortgage-backed, and corporate securities totaling $43.7 million during 2011 to replace securities that matured or were called and to provide growth in earning assets. Approximately $16.6 million in various securities were called or matured in 2011. Principal payments for municipal and mortgage-backed securities totaling $2.1 million were received during 2011. Various securities totaling approximately $3.3 million were sold during 2011 for net gains totaling $129,000. Approximately $2.5 million of the sales that occurred in 2011 were sales of municipal securities as ChoiceOne lessened its exposure to certain issuers. The Banks 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.
State and municipal securities as of the end of 2011 included a security that matured on September 1, 2009 and was not redeemed by the issuer. A principal payment of $29,000 was received in October 2009 on the par value of $500,000. No further payments have been received. Impairment losses totaling $141,000 had been recorded in 2009 and 2010 due to uncertainty as to when or how much principal repayment would be received. Settlement was reached with the securitys issuer in December 2011 and ChoiceOne anticipates it will receive the remaining carrying value of its security in the first quarter of 2012.
Equity securities included a money market preferred security (MMP) of $768,000, a trust preferred security of $500,000, and preferred stock of $267,000 as of December 31, 2011 and an MMP of $838,000, a trust preferred security of $500,000, and preferred stock of $261,000 as of December 31, 2010. The MMP had a $232,000 unrealized loss as of December 31, 2011 that was recorded to other comprehensive income. Auctions remain active for this security and interest continues to be received.
Management will continue to monitor its municipal and equity securities closely in 2012. Securities may be sold if believed prudent from a risk standpoint.

Total loans |

|
The loan portfolio (excluding loans held for sale) increased $3.2 million from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. Although loan growth occurred in 2011, loan demand continued to be challenging as the uncertain economy in Michigan affected the willingness of borrowers to assume debt. Growth of $9.2 million in agricultural loans and $2.7 million in commercial and industrial loans occurred as a result of officer calling activities. Marketing of consumer loan products contributed to the $1.9 million increase in the consumer loans balance. Commercial real estate loans declined $10.1 million in 2011 as reduced real estate collateral values impacted the ability to originate these loans.
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:

Nonaccrual loans included $26,000 in agricultural loans, $143,000 in commercial and industrial loans, $22,000 in consumer loans, $2,790,000 in commercial real estate loans, and $1,174,000 in residential real estate loans as of December 31, 2011. Nonaccrual loans included $64,000 in agricultural loans, $256,000 in commercial and industrial loans, $5,000 in consumer loans, $3,302,000 in commercial real estate loans, and $2,646,000 in residential real estate loans as of December 31, 2010. The decreases in nonaccrual loans in 2011 were caused by charge-offs, transfers to other real estate owned, and payments received on loans. 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 $1,197,000 in commercial real estate loans and $1,251,000 of residential real estate loans at December 31, 2011, compared to $2,141,000 in residential real estate loans as of December 31, 2010. 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 $22.4 million as of December 31, 2011, compared to $21.2 million as of December 31, 2010.

Total deposits |
$ | 403,365 | $ | 389,884 | ||||

Total deposits increased $13.5 million from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. Local deposits grew $15.5 million while brokered certificates of deposit declined $2.0 million since the end of 2010. Management believes that the local deposit growth was due in part to the attractiveness of FDIC-guaranteed deposits in contrast to the uncertainty of investments in the stock market. Deposit growth also resulted from new product offerings and calling efforts on business and municipal clients. The balances in all checking and savings account categories increased during the year while the balance of local certificates of deposit declined. Management believes that some of the local certificate of deposit decrease consisted of transfers into the other interest-bearing deposit accounts since the liquidity obtained offset the relatively small difference in the interest rate paid.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $380,000 during 2011. The change was due to a slightly lower balance in sweep repurchase accounts used by the Banks local customers. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLB) decreased $26,000 in 2011 due to payments on an amortizing advance. A blanket collateral agreement covering residential real estate loans was pledged against all outstanding advances at the end of 2011. Approximately $37 million of additional advances were available as of December 31, 2011 based on the collateral pledged.
In 2012, 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 $3.6 million from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The growth in equity resulted primarily from the retention of earnings in 2011 as net income exceeded dividends paid by $1.9 million and from an increase of $1.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income. Issuances of common stock also contributed to the growth in 2011.
Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements presents regulatory capital information for the Bank at the end of 2011 and 2010. All three capital ratios presented increased slightly in 2011 as a result of more growth in capital than assets during the year. Management will monitor these capital ratios closely during 2012 as they relate to asset growth and earnings retention. ChoiceOnes 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. The Board of Directors and management believe that ChoiceOnes capital level as of December 31, 2011 is adequate for the foreseeable future.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk
Net cash from operating activities was $12.5 million for 2011 compared to $9.2 million for 2010. The effect of higher net income and higher proceeds from sales of other real estate owned caused the increase in 2011 compared to 2010. Cash used in investing activities was $31.1 million in 2011 compared to $16.4 million in 2010. The increase was caused by lower funds received from sales, maturities and payments received from securities and a higher usage of funds for loan growth. Cash flows from financing activities were $11.6 million in 2011 compared to $11.5 million in the prior year. The impact of less growth in deposits was offset by lower net payments of FHLB advances.
ChoiceOnes primary market risk exposure occurs in the form of interest rate risk. Liquidity risk also can have an impact but to a lesser extent. ChoiceOnes business is transacted in U.S. dollars with no foreign exchange risk exposure. Agricultural loans comprise a relatively small portion of ChoiceOnes total assets. Management believes that ChoiceOnes exposure to changes in commodity prices is insignificant.
Management believes that the current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet the Banks 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 from correspondent banks, and advances available from the FHLB. Liquidity risk deals with ChoiceOnes 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 three of the Banks correspondent banks. As of December 31, 2011, the amount of federal funds available for purchase from the Banks correspondent banks totaled approximately $23 million. ChoiceOne had no federal funds purchased at the end of 2011 or 2010. The Bank also has a line of credit secured by ChoiceOnes commercial loans with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for $36 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 $37 million of borrowing capacity was available from the FHLB based on residential real estate loans pledged as collateral at year-end 2011. The acceptance of brokered certificates of deposit is not limited as long as the Banks capital to assets ratio is considered to be well capitalized under regulatory guidelines.
Interest rate risk is related to liquidity because each is affected by maturing assets and sources of funds. ChoiceOnes 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 Banks 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.

Under this method, the ALCO measures interest rate sensitivity by focusing on the one-year repricing gap. ChoiceOnes ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities that matured or repriced within a one-year time frame was 80% at December 31, 2011, compared to 67% at December 31, 2010. 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 2012. As interest rates change during 2012, the ALCO will attempt to match its maturing assets with corresponding liabilities to maximize ChoiceOnes 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, 2011, 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.
Table 6 provides an illustration of hypothetical interest rate changes as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

As of both December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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 Companys system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Managements 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). Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, 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 Companys independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

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. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys 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 Companys 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, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, 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 Banks wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. (together referred to as ChoiceOne). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Operations
ChoiceOne Bank (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 portions of 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.
ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. (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 ChoiceOnes 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, ChoiceOnes 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 more likely than not will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. In analyzing an issuers 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 issuers 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.
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 investments 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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 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 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 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 may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in managements judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectibility of a loan balance is not possible.
The allowance 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 loans 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 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 when events indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. 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 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 other noninterest income.
Loan Servicing Rights
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 cashflows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance.

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
ChoiceOnes 401(k) plan allows participants to contribute up to the IRS maximum. 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 postretirement benefits are accrued during the years in which the employee provides service.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The cost of shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ESOP) but not yet allocated to participants is presented as a reduction of shareholders equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market price of the shares as they are committed to be released for allocation to participant accounts. The difference between the market price and the cost of shares committed to be released is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings while dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are reflected as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. 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.
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, net of tax, and changes in the funded status of postretirement plans which are also recognized as a separate component of shareholders equity.
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.
Cash Restrictions
Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $111,000 and $83,000 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The balance in excess of the amount required was interest-bearing as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Stock-Based Compensation
ChoiceOne records stock-based compensation cost using the fair value method. Compensation costs related to stock options granted is disclosed in Note 14.
26
ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 21).
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 19 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 ChoiceOnes 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
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (ASU 2011-08). The standard clarifies existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and changes existing principles and disclosure guidance. Clarifications were made to the relevancy of the highest and best use valuation concept, measurement of an instrument classified in an entitys shareholders equity and disclosure of quantitative information about the unobservable inputs for level 3 fair value measurements. Changes to existing principles and disclosures included measurement of financial instruments managed within a portfolio, the application of premiums and discounts in fair value measurement, and additional disclosures related to fair value measurements. The updated guidance and requirements are effective for financial statements issued for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2011, and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on ChoiceOnes consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). This standard requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but continuous statements. This standard eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income (OCI) as part of the statement of equity. This standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012. The implementation of this standard will only change the presentation of comprehensive income; it will not have an impact on ChoiceOnes consolidated financial position or results of operations. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12. This standard defers the requirement to present reclassification adjustments for each component of OCI in both net income and OCI on the face of the financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-08), to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. Prior to ASU 2011-08, an entity was required to perform a two-step test to assess goodwill for impairment. The first step compared the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value, the second step was used to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing appropriate events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then it is not required to perform the two-step impairment test for the reporting unit. ASU 2011-08 applies to both an entitys annual and interim goodwill impairment tests. ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. ChoiceOne plans to adopt ASU 2011-08 as of January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material impact on ChoiceOnes consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts presented in prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation.

One municipal security with a fair value of $306,000 was considered to be other than temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2011. The issuer of the security defaulted upon its maturity of September 1, 2009. Impairment losses of $47,000 in 2009 and $94,000 in 2010 had been recorded due to uncertainty as to when principal repayment would be received. Settlement was reached with the securitys issuer in December 2011 and ChoiceOne anticipates it will receive the remaining carrying value of its security in the first quarter of 2012. In the case of the remaining state and municipal securities, ChoiceOne does not intend to sell the securities prior to a recovery in their value nor is it likely that ChoiceOne would be forced to sell them. Equity securities included a Money Market Preferred auction rate security (MMP) with a fair value of $768,000 as of December 31, 2011. Auctions remain active for the MMP and interest payments have remained current.
ChoiceOne evaluates all securities on a quarterly basis for other than temporary impairment. 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. No other than temporary impairments were recorded in 2011 and the impairment described in the previous paragraph was the only other than temporary impairment recorded in 2010.

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 Banks 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. ChoiceOnes 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. ChoiceOnes consumer loan portfolio is primarily monitored on an exception basis. Loans where payments are past due are turned over to the Banks collection department, who works with the borrower to bring payments current or takes 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 ChoiceOnes 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 rating 1 through 3: These loans are considered pass credits. They exhibit acceptable to exceptional 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 borrowers 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 borrowers 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.

Note 6 Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
There were no changes in the goodwill balance in 2011 or 2010. ChoiceOne engaged an outside consulting firm to assist management in performing its annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2011. The following steps were used in the valuation: determination of the reporting unit, determination of the appropriate standard of value, determination of the appropriate level of value, calculation of fair value, and comparison of the fair value computed to the equity carrying value. It was determined that the relevant reporting unit to be valued was ChoiceOne Bank. The standard of value used in the valuation was fair value as determined by generally accepted accounting principles. The appropriate level of value was determined to be the controlling interest level. The appraisal methodology used to calculate the fair value included the income approach, which was a discounted cash flow value based on projected earnings capacity. The income approach used a discount rate of 12.90%, a growth assumption of 0.2% for assets for the
36

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
first year and 1.0% in subsequent years, and an assumption of cost savings of 20% of noninterest expense as a result of synergies and cost reductions from a change in control. The appraisal methodology also included the market approach, which was based on price-to-earnings multiples, price-to-tangible book value ratios, and core deposit premiums for selected bank sale transactions. The asset approach was also an approach that was reviewed, but it was not used in determining the fair value since it did not render a control level indication of value. The results from the valuation approaches were used to calculate an estimate of the fair value of ChoiceOnes equity, which was compared to the carrying value of equity to determine whether the Step 1 test under generally accepted accounting principles that govern the valuation of goodwill was passed. The goodwill analysis determined that the fair value of ChoiceOnes equity exceeded the carrying value by 7.8%. Based on this assessment, management believed that there was no indication of goodwill impairment at June 30, 2011. Based on the testing performed and a review of factors that might impact ChoiceOnes stock value subsequent to the annual evaluation, no impairment of goodwill was deemed to exist as of December 31, 2011.

ChoiceOne had a deferred tax asset of $45,000 as of December 31, 2011 and $69,000 as of December 31, 2010 that resulted from capital losses incurred on the sales of equity securities in 2009 and 2010. A capital loss of $72,000 was carried back to 2007 during 2011 which utilized $24,000 of the deferred tax asset. A valuation allowance of $45,000 had been recorded as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 due to the uncertainty as to ChoiceOnes ability to generate capital gains in the future that can offset the capital loss carryforward. ChoiceOne also had a deferred tax asset of $44,000 as of December 31, 2011 and $42,000 as of December 31, 2010 that was related to unexercised stock options. A valuation allowance for the entire balance had been recorded due to the fact that the exercise price of all of the options was higher than the market price of ChoiceOnes stock as of the end of both 2011 and 2010. The valuation allowances totaling $89,000 as of December 31, 2011 and $87,000 as of December 31, 2010 have been netted against the total deferred tax assets listed above.

The range of prices for options outstanding and exercisable at the end of 2011 ranged from $13.04 to $21.43 per share. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding and exercisable at the end of 2011 was approximately 3.7 years.

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. No options were granted in 2011, 2010, or 2009.
During 2011, 2,875 shares were vested at an average exercise price of $13.50. As of December 31, 2011, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The estimated fair values approximate the carrying amounts for all assets and liabilities except those described later in this paragraph. The methodology for determining the estimated fair value for securities available for sale is described in Note 19. 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 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 19 Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present information about the Banks assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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 Banks 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, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Disclosures concerning assets measured at fair value are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Securities classified as available for sale are generally reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. ChoiceOnes 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, state and municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, FDIC- guaranteed financial institution debt, and equity securities. The Company classified certain state and municipal securities and privately issued trust preferred 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.
ChoiceOne reviewed the methodologies used to estimate the fair values of all securities in 2010. Based on an updated analysis, it was determined that the fair values of U.S. Government and federal agency securities, corporate securities, and FDIC-guaranteed financial institution debt were based upon Level 2 inputs. These securities classes, which were previously disclosed as based on Level 1 inputs, have been adjusted accordingly.

Of the Level 3 assets that were still held by the Bank at December 31, 2011, the net unrealized gain for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $164,000, which is recognized in other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet. There were no sales or purchases of Level 3 securities in 2011. One security was reclassified from a Level 2 measurement of fair value to a Level 3 measurement in both 2010 and 2011 as a result of a change in the marketability of the security.
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 managements 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.

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 managements 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.
Note 20 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:

Note 21 Regulatory Capital
ChoiceOne Bank is 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. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as are asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required. At year-end 2011 and 2010, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Banks categories.
