NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. (the "Registrant") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Bank (the "Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, prevailing practices within the banking industry and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments ordinary in nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the consolidated loan portfolio. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, assessments of the impact of current economic conditions on the portfolio and historical loss experience of seasoned loan portfolios. See Note 3 to the interim consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Management believes the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a "critical accounting estimate" because (1) the estimate is highly susceptible to change from period to period because of assumptions concerning the changes in the types and volumes of the portfolios and economic conditions and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on ChoiceOne's assets reported on the balance sheet as well as its net income.

Stock Transactions
A total of 952 shares of common stock were issued to the Registrant's Board of Directors for a cash price of $13,000 under the terms of the Directors' Stock Purchase Plan in the first quarter of 2011. A total of 1,617 shares were issued to employees for a cash price of $16,000 under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. A total of 477 shares were issued upon the exercise of stock options in the first quarter of 2011.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, which amends FASB ASC 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors because of inconsistencies in practice and the increased volume of debt modifications. The standard provides additional clarifying guidance in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of implementation is for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to restructurings that occurred after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with early application allowed. As a result of applying the standard, receivables that are newly considered impaired for which impairment was previously measured using a general allowance for credit losses may be identified. Disclosure is required of the total amount of receivables and the allowance for credit losses as of the end of the period of adoption. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, the standard should be applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. ChoiceOne is analyzing the impact of the standard and will adopt the requirements in the third quarter of 2011.

ChoiceOne reviews its securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine whether unrealized losses are considered to be temporary or other-than-temporary. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded in the first quarter of 2011. One municipal security with a fair value of $330,000 was considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2011. The issuer of the security defaulted upon its maturity in September 2009. Impairment losses of $141,000 were recorded through December 2010 due to uncertainty as to when the principal payment will be received. A settlement agreement was reached with the security's issuer in March 2011. Based on the agreement, ChoiceOne believes it will receive an amount equal to or greater than its carrying value for the security.

Other than the security noted in the preceding paragraph, ChoiceOne believed that unrealized losses on securities were temporary in nature and were due to changes in interest rates and reduced market liquidity and not as a result of credit quality issues.

The process to monitor the credit quality of ChoiceOne's loan portfolio includes tracking (1) the risk ratings of business loans, (2) the level of classified business loans, and (3) delinquent and nonperforming consumer loans. Business loans are risk rated on a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the characteristics of the ratings follows:

Risk 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 borrower's ability to repay the loan. If the weaknesses are not corrected, loss of principal and interest could be probable.

Risk rating 6: These loans are considered substandard credits. These loans have well defined weaknesses, the severity of which makes collection of principal and interest in full questionable. Loans in this category may be placed on nonaccrual status.

Risk rating 7: These loans are considered doubtful credits. Some loss of principal and interest has been determined to be probable. The estimate of the amount of loss could be affected by factors such as the borrower's ability to provide additional capital or collateral. Loans in this category are on nonaccrual status.

Risk rating 8: These loans are considered loss credits. They are considered uncollectible and will be charged off against the allowance for loan losses.

The 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 6. The estimated fair value for loans is based on the rates charged at March 31, 2011 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 Federal Home Loan Bank advances are based on the rates paid at March 31, 2011 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 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables present information about the Bank's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the valuation techniques used by the Bank to determine those fair values.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Bank has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Bank's assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Disclosures concerning assets measured at fair value are as follows:

Of the Level 3 assets that were held by the Bank at March 31, 2011, the net unrealized gain for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $26,000, which is recognized in other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet. There were no sales or purchases of Level 3 securities in the first quarter of 2011.

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 primarily consist of bonds issued by local municipalities. The Bank estimates the fair value of these bonds based on the present value of expected future cash flows using management's best estimate of key assumptions, including forecasted interest yield and payment rates, credit quality and a discount rate commensurate with the current market and other risks involved.

The Bank also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not normally measured at fair value, but can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as impairment. Disclosures concerning assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are as follows:

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

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion is designed to provide a review of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. ("ChoiceOne" or the "Registrant") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Bank (the "Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This discussion and other sections of this annual report contain forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and ChoiceOne itself. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "is likely," "plans," "predicts," "projects," "may," "could," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Management's determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of goodwill and loan servicing rights, and the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other than temporary) and management's assumptions concerning pension and other postretirement benefit plans involve judgments that are inherently forward-looking. All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("risk factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood, and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, ChoiceOne undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of the Company's 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary
Net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $704,000, which represented an increase of $60,000 or 9% compared to the same period in 2010. Growth in net interest income and a reduction in the provision for loan losses were offset by lower noninterest income and higher noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.21 for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $0.20 for the same quarter in 2010. The return on average assets and return on average shareholders' equity percentages were .58% and 5.16%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2011, compared to .56% and 4.84%, respectively, for the same period in 2010.

Dividends
Cash dividends of $393,000 or $0.12 per share were declared in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $390,003 or $0.12 per share in the first quarter of 2010. The cash dividend payout percentage was 56% for the first three months of 2011, compared to 61% in the same period a year ago.

Interest Income and Expense
Tables 1 and 2 on the following pages provide information regarding interest income and expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Table 1 documents ChoiceOne's average balances and interest income and expense, as well as the average rates earned or paid on assets and liabilities. Table 2 documents the effect on interest income and expense of changes in volume (average balance) and interest rates. These tables are referred to in the discussion of interest income, interest expense and net interest income.

	(1)	The volume variance is computed as the change in volume (average balance) multiplied by the previous year's interest rate. The rate variance is computed as the change in interest rate multiplied by the previous year's volume (average balance). The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to the volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.
	(2)	Interest on nontaxable investment securities and loans has been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis using an incremental tax rate of 34% for the periods presented.

Net Interest Income
The presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but is customary in the banking industry. This non-GAAP measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt loans and investment securities. The adjustments to determine net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis were $171,000 and $192,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These adjustments were computed using a 34% federal income tax rate.

As shown in Tables 1 and 2, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $264,000 in the first three months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The relationship between growth in average interest-earning assets and a small decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities caused net interest income to increase $288,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Although the net interest spread grew 25 basis points in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter in 2010, the impact of the larger interest-earning assets balance compared to interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a $24,000 decrease in net interest income.

The average balance of loans decreased $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Average commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans were $2.7 million lower and residential real estate loans were $1.9 million lower in the first quarter of 2011 than in the same quarter of 2010. These were offset by a $0.4 million increase in the average balance of consumer loans. The decrease in the average loans balance combined with a 14 basis point decrease in the average rate earned caused tax-equivalent interest income from loans to decline $176,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balance of total securities grew $17.9 million in the first three months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Additional securities were purchased in the first quarter of 2011 due to the declining balance in loans and to provide earning asset growth. The growth in securities, partially offset by the effect of lower interest rates earned, caused interest income to decrease $4,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010. Interest income from other interest-earning assets increased slightly in the first quarter of 2011 as a decline in average assets was offset by an increase in the average rate earned.

The average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased $16.8 million in the first three months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The effect of the higher average balance, offset by a 13 basis point decline in the average rate paid, caused interest expense to decrease $17,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010. The average balance of savings deposits increased $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The impact of the savings deposit growth was offset by an 11 basis point drop in the average rate paid, which caused interest expense to decrease $9,000 in the first three months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The average balance of certificates of deposit was down $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The average balance of local certificates was $3.0 million lower while the average balance of nonlocal certificates was $1.6 million higher in 2011 than in 2010. The decline in certificates of deposit plus a 61 basis point reduction in the average rate paid on certificates caused interest expense to fall $251,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The average balance of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") was $11.6 million lower in the first three months of 2011 than in the same period of the prior year. The average rate paid on FHLB advances was 105 basis points lower in the first quarter of 2011 than the same quarter of 2010 due to maturities of higher-rate advances in the fourth quarter of 2010. The combination of the decline in FHLB advances and the decrease in the average rate paid caused interest expense to decrease $157,000 in the first three months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. An increase of $2.6 million in the average balance of other interest-bearing liabilities in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 was partially offset by a 32 basis point drop in the average rate paid, which caused a $7,000 decrease in interest expense.

ChoiceOne's net interest income spread was 4.18% in the first quarter of 2011, compared to 3.93% for the first quarter of 2010. The growth in the interest spread was due to a 55 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter of 2010, which was partially offset by a drop in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets of 30 basis points. The reduction in the rate paid on liabilities was due in part to repricing of local deposits as general market interest rates remained low during 2010 and the first quarter of 2011. The relatively low general market interest rates over the last twelve months also impacted the rates earned on interest-earning assets as the rates earned on new assets were less than the maturing assets that they replaced.

In spite of a reduction of $5.4 million in total loans since the end of 2010, the allowance for loan losses grew $2,000 from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. The provision for loan losses was $1,000,000 in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $1,050,000 in the same period in 2010. Nonperforming loans were $9.8 million as of March 31, 2011, compared to $8.4 million as of December 31, 2010. The increase in nonperforming loans since the end of 2010 was due to growth of $1.7 million in nonaccrual loans. The allowance for loan losses was 1.52% of total loans at March 31, 2011, compared to 1.49% at December 31, 2010 and 1.48% at March 31, 2010.

Charge-offs and recoveries for respective loan categories for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	2011				2010
	Charge-offs		Recoveries		Charge-offs		Recoveries
Agricultural	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Commercial and industrial		-		4		25		13
Consumer		97		66		118		77
Real estate, commercial		553		36		451		-
Real estate, residential		496		42		182		1
	$	1,146	$	148	$	776	$	91

Net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2011 were $998,000, compared to $685,000 in the first quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs on an annualized basis as a percentage of average loans were 1.27% in the first three months of 2011 compared to 0.86% for the same period in the prior year. The charge-offs in the first quarter of 2011 included $197,000 of allowance that had been specifically allocated as of December 31, 2010. Management is aware that the economic climate in Michigan will continue to affect business and personal borrowers and may cause charge-offs to remain at heightened levels in future quarters. Management has worked and intends to continue to work with delinquent borrowers in an attempt to lessen the negative impact to ChoiceOne. As charge-offs, changes in the level of nonperforming loans, and changes within the composition of the loan portfolio occur throughout 2011, the provision and allowance for loan losses will be reviewed by the Bank's management and adjusted as necessary.

Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income decreased $107,000 or 7% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. A significant decrease in gains on sales of securities was partially offset by improvement in all other noninterest income categories, except for earnings on life insurance policies that was virtually unchanged. Approximately $386,000 of securities gains were recognized in the first quarter of 2010 from sales of preferred stock that represented a recovery of losses recognized on money market preferred securities in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in customer service charges was due to growth of $62,000 in debit card fees in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in other noninterest income was due in part to growth of $39,000 in net loan servicing fees as amortization expense was lower in 2011 than in 2010.

Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense increased $169,000 or 5% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase of $128,000 in salaries and benefits in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 resulted from higher wages due to staffing additions, higher commission expense from mortgage loan originations, and a higher 401(k) plan company contribution. A decrease of $30,000 in loan and collection expense was caused by payments in late 2010 that were recovered through modification of borrower mortgages.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $174,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $175,000 for the same quarter in 2010. The effective tax rate was 19.8% for 2011 and 21.4% for 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate was caused by $95,000 of nondeductible losses on sales of preferred stock in the first quarter of 2010.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities
The securities available for sale portfolio increased $12.2 million from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Various securities totaling $15.0 million were purchased in the first three months of 2011 to provide earning assets and to replace maturities, principal repayments, and calls within the securities portfolio. Approximately $1.4 million in various securities were called or matured since the end of 2010. Principal repayments on securities totaled $0.5 million in the first three months of 2011. Approximately $1.3 million of securities were sold in the first quarter of 2011 for a net gain of $35,000.

A book gain of $386,000 and a tax loss of $95,000 were recognized from the sale of preferred stock in the first quarter of 2010. The difference was caused by losses recorded for book purposes but not tax purposes in the fourth quarter of 2008 when preferred stock was received from the unwinding of money market preferred securities.

Loans
The loan portfolio (excluding loans held for sale) declined $5.4 million from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Loan demand in the first quarter of 2011 was sluggish due to the lackluster Michigan economy and reduced real estate values. Balances in all loan categories declined since the end of 2010, with a decrease of $4.0 million in commercial real estate loans and $0.8 million in residential real estate loans contributing most of the decline.

Information regarding impaired loans can be found in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report. The total balance of loans classified as impaired increased from $6.6 million as of December 31, 2010 to $7.0 million as of March 31, 2011. The balance of commercial real estate loans classified as impaired grew by $2.0 million in the first quarter, while residential real estate loans classified as impaired decreased by $1.5 million. Changes in the balance of nonaccrual loans and loans considered troubled debt restructured in the first quarter of 2011 impacted both loan categories.

As part of its review of the loan portfolio, management also monitors the various nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans are comprised of: (1) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; (2) loans, not included in nonaccrual loans, which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments; and (3) loans, not included in nonaccrual or loans past due 90 days or more, which are considered troubled debt restructurings.

The balances of these nonperforming loans were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)
	March 31, 2011	December 31, 2010
Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis	$ 7,943	$ 6,273
Accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments	92	23
Loans considered troubled debt restructurings	1,793	2,141
Total	$ 9,828	$ 8,437

At March 31, 2011, nonaccrual loans included $5.6 million in commercial industrial and commercial real estate loans and $2.3 million in residential real estate loans. At December 31, 2010, nonaccrual loans included $3.6 million in commercial industrial and commercial real estate loans and $2.7 million in residential real estate loans. The increase in nonaccrual loans was due to some larger balance loans transferred into nonaccrual status in the first quarter of 2011. The reduction in loans considered troubled debt restructurings was caused by a decrease in residential real estate loans classified in this category, which was partially offset by growth in commercial industrial and commercial real estate loans. Management believes the specific reserves allocated to its nonperforming loans are sufficient at March 31, 2011; however, management believes future credit deterioration is possible given the status of the Michigan economy.

Other Real Estate Owned
The balance of other real estate owned ("OREO") increased $386,000 from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Commercial and residential real estate loans totaling $654,000 were transferred into OREO during the first quarter of 2011 while sales of properties or payments upon them or write-downs of the value of other real estate properties were $268,000 for the same time period. Due to the current state of the Michigan economy, management believes there will be continuing transfers from loans into OREO during the remainder of 2011. The OREO balance may also be affected by troubled debt restructurings in future quarters as loans can be restructured as an alternative to foreclosure. Management is continuing to work with borrowers in an attempt to mitigate potential losses for ChoiceOne.

Deposits and Borrowings
Total deposits increased $11.3 million from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Local deposits provided all of the growth in the first quarter of 2011 as the balance of nonlocal deposits was unchanged. Since the end of 2010, money market account balances have risen $11.7 million and savings account balances grew $2.0 million, while interest-bearing demand deposits declined $2.9 million. Management is continuing to emphasize growth in checking, money market, and savings accounts.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $6,000 in the first quarter of 2011 due to payments on an amortizing advance. A decline of $283,000 in repurchase agreements was due to normal fluctuations in funds provided by bank customers. Certain securities are sold under agreements to repurchase them the following day or over a certain fixed term. Management plans to continue this practice as a low-cost source of funding.

Shareholders' Equity
Total shareholders' equity increased $640,000 from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Growth in equity resulted primarily from current year's net income, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, and proceeds from the sale of ChoiceOne's stock, offset by cash dividends paid. ChoiceOne did not repurchase any of its common stock in either the first quarter of 2011 or the first quarter of 2010. Shares of common stock may be repurchased in the future if management determines it to be a prudent use of capital.

Following is information regarding the Bank's compliance with regulatory capital requirements:

								Total
								Risk-
(Dollars in thousands)	Leverage				Tier 1			Based
	Capital				Capital			Capital
Capital balances at March 31, 2011	$	37,054		$	37,054		$	41,038
Required regulatory capital to be considered "well capitalized"		23,415			20,234			33,724
Capital in excess of "well capitalized" minimum		13,639			16,820			7,314
Capital ratios at March 31, 2011		7.91	%		10.99	%		12.17	%
Regulatory capital ratios - minimum requirement
to be considered "well capitalized"		5.00	%		6.00	%		10.00	%

Management reviews the capital levels of ChoiceOne and the Bank on a regular basis. The Board of Directors (the "Board") and management believe that the capital levels as of March 31, 2011 are adequate for the foreseeable future. The Board's determination of appropriate cash dividends for future periods will be based on market conditions and ChoiceOne's requirements for cash and capital.

Liquidity
Net cash provided from operating activities was $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1.9 million provided in the same period a year ago. Higher proceeds from loan sales were partially offset by higher loans originated for sale. Net cash used in investing activities was $8.2 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $1.2 million provided by investing in the same period in 2010. A higher level of net securities purchases and a lower level of net loan originations contributed to the change. Net cash provided from financing activities was $10.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $5.7 million used in the same period in the prior year. The change was caused by more deposit growth in 2011 than in 2010 as well as smaller decreases in repurchase agreements and FHLB advances.

Management believes that the current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet the Bank's normal operating needs. This belief is based upon the availability of deposits from both the local and national markets, maturities of securities, normal loan repayments, income retention, federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, and advances available from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Bank also has a secured line of credit available from the Federal Reserve Bank.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrant's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on and as of the time of that evaluation, the Registrant's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, concluded that the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that ChoiceOne files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that ChoiceOne files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including ChoiceOne's principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Registrant or the Bank is a party to or to which any of their properties are subject, except for proceedings that arose in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, pending or current legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Registrant.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) was signed into law by President Obama on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry within the United States, establishes the new Federal Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP), and will require the BCFP and other federal agencies to implement many new and significant rules and regulations. At this time, it is difficult to predict the extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act or the resulting rules and regulations will impact the Registrant's and the Bank's business. Compliance with these new laws and regulations will likely result in additional costs, which could be significant and could adversely impact the Registrant's results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On January 27, 2011, the Registrant issued 952 shares of common stock, without par value, to the directors of the Registrant pursuant to the Directors' Stock Purchase Plan for an aggregate cash price of $13,000. The Registrant relied on the exemption contained in Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with these sales.

ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

There were no purchases of equity securities by the Registrant in the first quarter of 2011. As of March 31, 2011, there are 135,668 shares remaining that may yet be purchased under approved plans or programs. The repurchase plan was adopted and announced on July 21, 2004. There is no stated expiration date. The plan authorized the repurchase of up to 50,000 shares. The Registrant's Board of Directors authorized an additional repurchase plan on July 26, 2007. There is no stated expiration date and this plan authorized ChoiceOne to repurchase an additional 100,000 shares.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. [Item 4 of Form 10-Q has been removed and reserved by the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

Item 5. Other Information.
