FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and the documents incorporated into this 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 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. 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 stateme nts, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Risk factors include, but are not limited to, 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 ability to repay loans; changes in the local and national economies; and local and global uncertainties such as acts of terrorism and military actions. 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 Registrant's only subsidiary and significant asset as of December 31, 2004, 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"). The Bank also owns a 20% interest in a non-banking corporation, West Shore Computer Services, Inc., a data processing firm located in Scottville, Michigan.

The Registrant's business is primarily concentrated in a single industry segment - banking. The Bank is a full-service banking institution that offers a variety of deposit, payment, credit and other financial services to all types of customers. These services include time, savings, and demand deposits, safe deposit services, and automated transaction machine services. Loans, both commercial and consumer, are extended primarily on a secured basis to corporations, partnerships and individuals. Commercial lending covers such categories as business, industry, agricultural, construction, inventory and real estate. The Bank's consumer loan department makes direct and indirect loans to consumers and purchasers of residential and real property. The Mortgage Company originates and sells 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 Bank's primary market area consists of portions of Kent, Muskegon, Newaygo and Ottawa counties in Michigan in the communities where the Bank's offices are located and the areas immediately surrounding these communities. Currently the Bank serves these markets through five full-service offices. The Registrant and the Bank have no foreign assets or income.



2


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 71%, 72%, and 74% of total revenues in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Interest on securities accounted for 11%, 8%, and 6% of total revenues in 2004, 2003, and 2002, 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 business of banking is highly competitive. The Bank's competition primarily comes from other financial institutions located within Sparta, Michigan, and the Kent County, Michigan area. There are a number of larger commercial banks in the Bank's primary market area.

The Bank also competes with a large number of other financial institutions, such as savings and loan associations, insurance companies, consumer finance companies, credit unions and commercial finance and leasing companies for deposits, loans and service business. Money market mutual funds, brokerage houses and nonfinancial institutions provide many of the financial services offered by the Bank. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources than the Bank. The principal methods of competition for financial services are price (the rates of interest charged for loans, the rates of interest paid for deposits and the fees charged for services) and the convenience and quality of services rendered to customers.

Supervision and Regulation
Banks and bank holding companies are extensively regulated. The Registrant is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). The Registrant's activities are generally limited to owning or controlling banks and engaging in such other activities as the Federal Reserve Board may determine to be closely related to banking. Prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, and in some cases various other government agencies, is required for the 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 Services. State banking laws place restrictions on various aspects of banking, including permitted activities, loan interest rates, branching, payment of dividends and capital and surplus requirements. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is also subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") to the 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.

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. Under federal law, the FDIC also has authority to impose special assessments on insured depository institutions to repay FDIC borrowings from the United States Treasury or other sources and to establish semiannual assessment rates on Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") member banks to maintain the BIF at the designated reserve ratio required by law.

The recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") was accomplished through the enactment of The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996. This legislation authorized the Financing Corporation ("FICO") to impose periodic assessments on depository institutions that are members of the BIF, in addition to institutions that are members of the SAIF. The purpose of these periodic assessments is to spread the cost of the interest payments on the outstanding FICO bonds 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, 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 Services, (1) acquisition of Michigan banks by FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states, (2) sale by a Michigan bank of branches to an FDIC-insured bank, savings bank or savings and loan association located in a state in which a Michigan bank could purchase branches of the purchasing entity, (3) consolidation of Michigan banks and FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states having laws permitting such consolidation, (4) establishment of branches in Michigan by FDIC-insured banks located in other states, the District of Columbia or U.S. territories or protectorates having laws permitting a Michigan bank to establish a branch in such jurisdiction, and (5) establishment by foreign banks of br anches 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 borrower's ability to comply with the terms of loan contracts.

Employees
As of February 28, 2005, the Bank employed 59 full-time equivalent employees ("FTE's"); the Insurance Agency employed 11 FTE's; and the Mortgage Company employed 10 FTE's. The Registrant's only employees as of the same date were its four executive officers (who are also employed by the Bank). The Registrant, Bank, Insurance Agency, and Mortgage Company believe their relations with their employees are good.

Additional statistical information describing the business of the Registrant appears on the following pages and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations incorporated by reference in Item 7 of this report and in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference in Item 8 of this report.

The following statistical information should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference in this report.

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

Additions to the allowance for loan losses charged to operations during the periods shown were based on management's judgment after considering factors such as loan loss experience, evaluation of the loan portfolio, and prevailing and anticipated economic conditions. 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 following schedule presents an allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various loan categories as of the years ended December 31.

The increase from 2003 to 2004 in the allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial and agricultural and commercial real estate loans was primarily based upon portfolio growth of 11%. Many of the substandard or nonperforming loans have a specific allowance allocated to them based upon discounted collateral values or the present value of future expected cashflows. The allocation to real estate construction was maintained at roughly the same level as 2003. The allocation for residential real estate and consumer loans decreased significantly during 2004 due to lower historical loss rates and lower nonperforming and delinquency levels as compared to 2003.

During 2004, the Bank experienced significant improvements in the overall quality of the loan portfolio; however, there continues to be uncertainties regarding local economic conditions and an increasing trend in commercial charge-offs over the past 4 years. Hence, an unallocated portion of $30,000 or 2% of the total allowance was maintained at December 31, 2004.

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.

Equity compensation plans approved by security holders include the Amended and Restated Executive Stock Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The Amended and Restated Executive Stock Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders at the annual meeting of the Registrant on April 27, 2000. Key employees of the Registrant and its subsidiaries, as the Personal 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 be stock options, stock appreciation rights or stock awards. The Plan provides for a maximum of 107,492 shares of the Registrant's common stock, subject to adjustments for certain changes in the capital structure of the Registrant. New awards for up to 92,007 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 Registrant's 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.

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan was approved by shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders on April 29, 2002. This Plan allows employees to purchase the Registrant's common stock at a 15% discount from the average bid price for the Registrant's common stock. Employees who elect to participate in the plan can purchase shares of the Registrant's common stock on a quarterly basis. The Plan provides for a maximum of 52,500 shares of the Registrant's common stock, subject to adjustments for certain changes in the capital structure of the Registrant. New issuances for up to 46,259 may be made under this 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 Registrant's 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 70,556 shares of the Registrant's common stock, subject to adjustments for cert ain changes in the capital structure of the Registrant.

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
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 "Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ChoiceOne Bank (the "Bank"), ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. (the "Insurance Agency"), and ChoiceOne Mortgage Company of Michigan (the "Mortgage Company"). 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 management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and ChoiceOne itself. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "is likely," "plans," "predicts," "projects," "may," "could," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. 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, 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 ability to repay loans; changes in the local and national economies; and various other local and global uncertainties such as acts of terrorism and military actions. 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 annual report is to provide a narrative discussion about the Company's financial condition and results of operations during 2004. Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations as well as disclosures found elsewhere in the annual report are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. One material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 and anticipated economic conditions on the portfolio and historical loss experience of seasoned loan portfolios. See Notes 1 and 5 to the 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 anticipated economic conditions and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on the Company's assets reported on the balance sheet as well as its net income.

Loan Servicing Rights
Loan servicing rights represent the estimated value of servicing loans that are sold with servicing retained by the Company. Servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Management's accounting treatment of loan servicing rights is estimated based on current prepayment speeds which are typically market driven. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding activity within loan servicing rights.

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 the Company's net income. Management has obtained a third-party valuation of its loan servicing rights to corroborate its current carrying value at the end of each reporting period.

Net income for 2004 was $1,854,000, which represented a $247,000 or 12% decrease from 2003. The decrease in net income was due to reduced net interest income, a higher provision for loan losses, and reduced noninterest income, offset by decreased noninterest expense. Lower noninterest income was the primary reason for the decrease in net income in 2004. Gains on sales of loans in 2004 decreased $502,000 or 62% from 2003. While the Bank did grow from 2003 to 2004, the additional earning assets could not offset the impact of lower rates on new and existing loans and securities. A slightly higher loan loss provision was based upon a slight increase in net charge-offs for 2004 compared to the prior year. Noninterest expense declined from 2003 due to lower payroll costs and lower occupancy expenses. Also, contributing to the lower level of expense in 2004 was $156,000 of prepayment penalties incurred in 2003 that were related to the early payoff of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Net income for 2003 was $2,101,000, which represented a $458,000 or 28% increase from 2002. The increase in net income over 2002 was due to a reduced provision for loan losses and reduced noninterest expense. A lower loan loss provision was based on a lower level of nonperforming and substandard loans throughout 2003 compared to 2002. Significant recoveries made within consumer loans allowed the Bank to decrease the provision for loan loss compared to 2002. Noninterest expense declined in 2003 due to closure of the Bank's Plainfield Office in September 2002 and Sparta Great Day Office in September 2003. The Insurance Agency sold its Grand Rapids book of business and related fixed assets in January 2003, which also reduced noninterest expenses in 2003 as compared to 2002.

Return on average assets was 0.83% for 2004, compared to 1.01% for 2003 and 0.79% in 2002. Return on average shareholders' equity was 8.93% for 2004, compared to 10.48% for 2003 and 8.78% in 2002.

Dividends
Cash dividends of $1,065,000, or $0.68 per common share were declared in 2004, compared to $1,059,000 or $0.68 per common share in 2003. The dividend yield on ChoiceOne's common stock was 3.44% in 2004 compared to 4.49% in 2003. The cash dividend payout percentage was 57% for 2004 compared to 50% for the prior year.

ChoiceOne's Board of Directors declared a 5% stock dividend payable on common stock in April 2002. The dividend was paid in May 2002 and earnings per share data for all periods presented have been adjusted for this stock dividend.

ChoiceOne's 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 2005 to shareholders based on the actual earnings of the Bank.

(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 $309,000, $369,000, and $625,000 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

(3)

Taxable securities include dividend income from Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock.

(4)

Noninterest-earning assets include loans on a nonaccrual status, which averaged approximately $1,687,000, $2,647,000, and $2,551,000 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

Net Interest Income
As shown in Tables 1 and 2, tax equivalent net interest income decreased $35,000 in 2004 compared to 2003. This is primarily because the Bank's interest-earning assets have repriced downward faster than the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities. The impact of lower rates has more than offset the $15.4 million in total earning asset growth. A change in the funding mix by growth in interest-bearing demand deposits has helped reduce interest expense, but not enough to offset the lower interest income compared to 2003.

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

Significant repricing downward of loans and origination of new loans at lower rates, offset by growth of $4.8 million in average loans, caused interest income from loans to fall $910,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the same period a year ago. The average balance of investment securities grew $11.2 million, which was partially offset by lower yields thereby causing interest income from securities to increase $394,000 over 2003.

Lower rates paid on time deposits and a $5.5 million decrease in average time deposit balances reduced interest expense $431,000 in 2004 versus 2003. Lower rates paid on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank more than offset an $8.2 million increase in the average balance causing interest expense to drop $292,000 in 2004. Growth of $11.1 million in the average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits primarily occurred in the Bank's high-yielding money market accounts and increased interest expense by $223,000 in 2004 over 2003.

Net interest income spread was 3.46% (shown in Table 1) for 2004, compared to 3.71% in 2003. This is a slight increase from the net interest income spread of 3.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The average yield received on interest-earning assets in 2004 was down 74 basis points to 5.67% while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in 2004 was down 49 basis points to 2.21%.

In 2003, tax equivalent net interest income decreased $328,000 in 2003 compared to 2002 (shown in Tables 1 and 2). This is primarily because the Bank's interest-earning assets repriced downward faster than the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities. The income impact from a smaller loan portfolio was greater than the additional income from an increased securities portfolio. A change in the funding mix by growth in interest-bearing demand deposits helped reduce interest expense, but not enough to offset the lower interest income compared to 2002.

In 2003, tax-equivalent net interest spread slid 8 basis points from 3.79% in 2002 to 3.71% in 2003. The rate earned on interest-earning assets dropped 100 basis points from 7.41% in 2002 to 6.41% in 2003, while the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 92 basis points from 3.62% in 2002 to 2.70% in 2003.

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management anticipates that net interest income in 2005 may increase due to the recent prime rate increases affecting variable rate commercial and consumer loans. It will also depend on the Bank's ability to match asset growth with the right mix of deposits and short and long term borrowings. Deposit rates will be dictated by local market conditions and management intends to aggressively pursue growth of its core deposits in 2005 to maintain a low cost of funds. Management anticipates the new branch offices will allow it to attract these types of deposits. Brokered time deposits and advances from the FHLB will be used if core deposit growth is insufficient to fund the Company's asset growth.

Allowance and Provision For Loan Losses
Information regarding the allowance and provision for loan losses can be found in Table 3 and in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As indicated in Table 3, the provision for loan losses was $65,000 higher in 2004 than in 2003. Management increased the provision as a result of the higher net charge-offs during 2004.

As shown in Table 3, commercial loan net charge-offs increased $243,000 in 2004 versus 2003; however, consumer loan net charge-offs decreased $129,000 from 2003, and mortgage loan net charge-offs decreased $51,000. Commercial loan charge-offs in 2004 included five significant substandard loan charge-offs totaling $362,000 that were charged off due to insolvency of the borrowers. These loans were 53% reserved at the end of 2003. The ratio of net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans increased slightly from 0.39% in 2003 to 0.41% in 2004. The allowance as a percentage of total loans is lower (1.00%) at the end of 2004, compared to the end of 2003 (1.21%) reflecting the improved credit quality within the loan portfolio.

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, 2004, is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses. As charge-offs, changes in the level of nonperforming loans, and changes within the composition of the loan portfolio occur, the provision and allowance for loan losses will be reviewed by the Bank's management and adjusted as necessary.

Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income decreased $539,000 or 17% in 2004, compared to a $548,000 or 15% decrease in 2003. Gains received from the sale of loans decreased $502,000 or 62% in 2004 due to a slowdown in mortgage refinancing activity throughout the year. In 2004, the Mortgage Company sold $17 million of loans to the secondary market versus $37 million during 2003. Insurance and investment commissions dipped slightly in 2004 compared to 2003, as 2003 included a few months of commissions from the Grand Rapids division of the Insurance Agency. The Insurance Agency's book of commissions for its Grand Rapids division was sold in first quarter of 2003. Servicing fee income is reported net of servicing right amortization expense and resulted in a negative $4,000 in 2003 due to borrowers paying off their serviced mortgages faster than management's estimate of the loan servicing term.


9


ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management anticipates that noninterest income in 2005 will depend upon the growth of deposit accounts, sales of residential mortgage loans, and sales of insurance and investment products.

Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense decreased $440,000 or 6% versus 2003, compared to a $519,000 or 6% decrease in 2003 from 2002. Salaries and benefits decreased $189,000 in 2004 due to significantly less commissions paid to mortgage producers. ChoiceOne reduced payroll by more than 3 full-time equivalent employees even though the Bank opened its Rockford Office with more than 4 full-time equivalent employees. Higher employee health insurance costs offset the reduced salaries expense in 2004. Occupancy expense was lower in 2004, as the Bank sold its Sparta Appletree Office in September 2004 and closed its Sparta Great Day Office in September 2003. The Bank's Rockford Office was opened in September 2004. The Bank sold the building housing its Sparta Appletree Office and subsequently leased back 50% of the building from the new owner. The Bank's operations department was moved from the Sparta Appletree Office to the Sparta Main Office to utilize available office space and reduce overall occupancy costs. Professional fe es decreased slightly over 2003 due to much lower legal fees offset by higher audit and consulting fees. In 2003, ChoiceOne absorbed $156,000 in prepayment penalties as a result of paying off $3 million of high-rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. This was done to reduce the Bank's cost of funds in 2004 and 2005. Other noninterest expense was slightly higher in 2004 due to increased bad check charge-offs offset by lower expenses related to foreclosed real estate.

Management anticipates that noninterest expenses in 2005 will increase due to professional fees associated with the implementation of requirements mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as well as a full year of operations for the Bank's Rockford Office.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities
The securities portfolio increased approximately $6.8 million or 18% from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004. A mix of just over $18 million in government agency, municipal, mortgage-backed, and corporate securities were purchased to maintain asset size of the Bank and provide liquidity for future loan growth. Approximately $2.5 million in agency and municipal bonds matured or were called in 2004. Payments from mortgage-backed securities totaled $1.9 million in 2004. Agency and corporate bonds totaling $5.6 million were sold during 2004 for net gains totaling $38,000. The Bank's Investment Committee continues to monitor the portfolio and purchase securities when deemed prudent. Certain securities are sold under agreements to repurchase and management plans to continue this practice as a low-cost source of funding. Securities also are pledged as collateral for borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. In addition, they serve as a source of liquidity for deposit needs.

Loans
The loan portfolio (excluding loans held for sale) increased approximately $10.1 million or 6% from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004. Commercial loans increased $4.6 million due to increased demand and growth in number of borrowers. Real estate loans increased $6.7 million, primarily through growth in commercial real estate financing. Residential real estate loans grew slightly but were reduced by a bulk sale of $5 million of seasoned hybrid adjustable rate mortgages in December 2004. The Mortgage Company sold these loans to reposition itself with assets that will reprice faster than those particular loans sold. In 2004, the Mortgage Company originated approximately $39 million of residential mortgage loans (compared to a record high $76 million in 2003) and sold almost $17 million to investors in the secondary market (compared to $37 million in 2003). Rising long term interest rates tempered customer demand for mortgage refinancing akin to the levels seen in 2003. Consumer loans dropped $1.3 million s ince year-end 2003 due to more payoffs than originations of automobile, recreational vehicle, and personal loans in 2004.

Management anticipates demand for commercial loans will remain steady in 2005 due to favorable national economic data and relationships cultivated within ChoiceOne's local market. Increased marketing efforts may help consumer and mortgage demand.

Information regarding impaired loans can be found in Note 5 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.

At December 31, 2004, nonaccrual loans included $389,000 in commercial loans, $363,000 in residential mortgages, and $43,000 in consumer loans. At December 31, 2003, nonaccrual loans included $1,310,000 in commercial loans, $380,000 in residential mortgages, and $224,000 in consumer loans. Management also maintains a list of loans that are not classified as nonperforming loans but where some concern exists as to the borrowers' abilities to comply with the original loan terms. These loans totaled $6.3 million as of December 31, 2004, compared to $8.8 million as of December 31, 2003. The decrease of $2.5 million or 28% reflects ChoiceOne's improvement in commercial loan quality from a year ago.

Deposits and Other Funding Sources
Total deposits increased $20.8 million or 14% from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004. Growth of $11.6 million in noninterest-bearing checking, interest-bearing checking, and money market accounts and $0.8 million in savings accounts provided much of the increase. The Bank's Investor Money Market Account has been very successful in providing substantial growth during the year. The opening of the Bank's new Rockford Office in 2004 also attributed to some of the growth experienced in 2004. Time deposits grew $8.4 million, with all of the increase coming from brokered time deposits that are received from customers outside ChoiceOne's local markets.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $1.0 million during 2004. Federal funds purchased at the end of 2004 dropped $6.6 million or 84% from year-end 2003. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") increased $500,000 in 2004. Of these advances, 74% have fixed rates with maturities ranging from January 2005 to March 2007, and 26% of these advances carry a floating rate indexed to the federal funds rate. Specific residential real estate mortgages and investment securities were pledged as collateral against these advances at the end of 2004.

Management continues to emphasize growth of local deposits through its noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts for both commercial and retail customers. Management also projects that the new Rockford Office will continue to grow its deposits in 2005. The construction of a new Alpine Office is also expected to enhance the Bank's market share in the growing Comstock Park area for 2005 as well. If local deposit growth is insufficient to support loan growth and other operating needs during 2005, management believes advances from the FHLB and brokered time deposits can address corresponding funding needs.

Shareholders' Equity
Total shareholders' equity increased $0.5 million or 2% since the end of 2003. Equity growth resulted from retained earnings and proceeds from the sale of ChoiceOne's stock, offset by cash dividends paid to shareholders, shares repurchased, and a sizable decline in accumulated other comprehensive income. The net dollar difference between the issuance and repurchase of common stock was $142,000 in 2004 compared to $196,000 in 2003. ChoiceOne repurchased 6,053 shares of its common stock in 2004 compared to 1,446 shares in 2003. Management anticipates it will continue to repurchase shares of its common stock in 2005 and retire them.

Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements presents regulatory capital information at the end of 2004 and 2003. ChoiceOne's capital ratios decreased slightly from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004 due to assets growing at a faster rate than shareholders' equity. If opportunities for prudent asset growth present themselves in 2005, management may grow assets to a greater extent than shareholders' equity. This may cause capital to decrease as a percentage of assets. However, management and its Board of Directors do not desire to decrease capital below those levels necessary to be considered "well capitalized."

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

Liquidity risk deals with ChoiceOne's ability to meet its cash flow requirements. These requirements include depositors desiring to withdraw funds and borrowers seeking credit. Relatively short-term liquid funds exist in the form of lines of credit to purchase federal funds at five of the Bank's correspondent banks. As of December 31, 2004, the amount of federal funds available for purchase from the Bank's correspondent banks totaled $18.5 million. ChoiceOne purchased $1,281,000 of federal funds at the end of 2004. The Bank also has a line of credit secured by ChoiceOne's commercial loans with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for $70 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 Federal Home Loan Bank, brokered time deposits, and income retention. Approximately $11.8 million of borrowing capacity was available from the Federal Home Loan Ban k based on the Mortgage Company's residential mortgage loans and investment securities pledged as collateral at year-end 2004. The acquisition of brokered time deposits is not limited as long as the Bank's capital to assets percentage is considered to be "well capitalized."

Interest rate risk is related to liquidity because each is affected by maturing assets and sources of funds. ChoiceOne's Asset/Liability Management Committee (the "ALCO") attempts to stabilize the interest rate spread and avoid possible adverse effects when unusual or rapid changes in interest rates occur. The ALCO uses a simulation model to measure its 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.

One method the ALCO uses to measure interest rate sensitivity is the one-year repricing gap. ChoiceOne's ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities that matured or repriced within a one-year time frame was 63% at December 31, 2004, compared to 78% at December 31, 2003. The above table places the entire balance of interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits, and repurchase agreements in the shortest repricing term. Although these three 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 deposits. Growth in the Bank's demand and savings deposits has made ChoiceOne more liability sensitive at year-end 2004 compared to year-end 2003. The ALCO plans to continue to monitor the ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities on a monthly basis in 2005. As interest rates change during 2005, the ALCO will attempt to match its maturing assets with corresponding liabilities to maximize ChoiceOne's net interest income.

Another method the ALCO uses to monitor its interest rate sensitivity is to subject rate-sensitive assets and liabilities to interest rate shocks. At December 31, 2004, management used a simulation model to subject its assets and liabilities to an immediate 200 basis point increase and an immediate 200 basis point decrease in interest rates. 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 Federal Home Loan Bank 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 income and shareholders' equity. ChoiceOne's Interest Rate Risk Policy states that the changes in interest rates cannot cause net income to decreas e more than 12.5% and the value of shareholders' equity to decrease more than 15%.

The impact of the rate shock at December 31, 2004 on net income for rates falling 200 basis points exceeds the ALCO's policy limit; however, management believes the likelihood of such an occurrence is highly remote given that the ALCO predicts rates will most likely rise during 2005. As of December 31, 2003, the ALCO's modeling forecast simulated a 300 basis point rise and excluded a simulation of rates immediately dropping 200 basis points due to the historically low interest rate environment. The impact of the rate shock at December 31, 2003 on net income and market value of equity for rates rising 300 basis points exceeded the ALCO's policy limit at that time; however, management believed the likelihood of that scenario to be very unlikely to occur given the current economic indicators at that time.

The ALCO plans to continue to monitor the effect of changes in interest rates on both net income and shareholders' equity and will make changes in the duration of its rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities where necessary

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, ChoiceOne Bank, and ChoiceOne Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, ChoiceOne Mortgage Company of Michigan, and 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 secured by both residential and commercial real estate.

ChoiceOne Mortgage Company of Michigan (the "Mortgage Company") began operations January 1, 2002 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. The Mortgage Company originates and sells a full line of conventional type mortgage loans for 1-4 family and multi-family residential real estate properties.

ChoiceOne Insurance Agencies, Inc. (the "Insurance Agency") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. The Insurance Agency sells a full line of insurance policies such as life, health, property and casualty 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, the Mortgage Company, and the Insurance Agency, account for substantially all of ChoiceOne's assets, revenues and operating income.

Use of Estimates
To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ChoiceOne's management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates associated with the allowance for loan losses, loan servicing rights, 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 terms of 90 days or less.

Securities
Securities are classified as available for sale when 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 other comprehensive income or loss and shareholders' equity, net of tax effect. Other securities, such as Federal Reserve Bank stock or Federal Home Loan Bank stock, are carried at cost.

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. Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not considered to be temporary.

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 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 accounted for on the cash-basis method 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 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 management's 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 loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as consumer and 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.

Long Term Assets
Premises and equipment, other intangible assets and other long term assets are 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.

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 customer financing needs. 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.

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Repurchase Agreements
Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by deposit clients that are not covered by federal deposit insurance and are secured by securities owned by ChoiceOne.

Employee Benefit Plans
ChoiceOne's 401(k) plan allows participant contributions of up to 15% of compensation. Company contributions to the 401(k) plan are discretionary. ChoiceOne allows retired employees to participate in its health insurance plan. These postretirement benefits are accrued during the years in which the employee provides services.

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.

Stock Based Compensation
Employee compensation expense under ChoiceOne's stock option plan is reported if options are granted below market price at the grant date. Pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share are shown using the fair value method to measure expense for options granted using an option pricing model to estimate the fair value.

The following pro forma information presents net income and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, had the fair value method been used to measure compensation cost for stock option plans. No compensation cost was recognized for stock options in 2004, 2003 and 2002.

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 earnings per common share includes shares allocated to the ESOP. Diluted EPS further assumes issue of any dilutive potential common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for stock dividends and splits through the issue date of the financial statements.

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income or loss. Other comprehensive income or loss includes the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities available for sale, net of tax, which is 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 $998,000 and $955,000 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These balances do not earn interest.

Stock Dividends
Dividends issued in stock are reported by transferring the market value of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital. Fractional shares resulting from stock dividends are paid in cash.

Dividend Restrictions
Banking regulations require the maintenance of certain capital levels and may limit the amount of dividends which may be paid by the Bank to ChoiceOne or by ChoiceOne to its shareholders (see Note 20).

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

Industry Segments
Internal financial information is primarily reported and aggregated in two lines of business: banking and insurance. The majority of ChoiceOne's income and assets are obtained from banking.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment," requires all public companies to record compensation cost for stock options provided to employees in return for employee service. The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employee service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. This will apply to awards granted or modified after the first quarter or year beginning after June 15, 2005. Compensation cost will also be recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption. The effect on ChoiceOne's results of operations will depend on the level of future grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such future dates, as well as the vesting periods provided, and therefore cannot currently be predicted. Existing options outstanding as of December 31, 2004 that will vest after the adoption date are expected to result in additional compensation expense of app roximately $5,000 during the balance of 2005, $7,000 in 2006, and $5,000 in 2007. There will be no significant effect on ChoiceOne's financial position, as total shareholders' equity will not change.

Statement of Position 03-3 requires that a valuation allowance for loans acquired in a transfer, including in a business combination, reflect only those losses incurred after acquisition and should not be recorded at acquisition. It applies to any loan acquired in a transfer that showed evidence of credit quality deterioration since it was made.

The effect of these new standards on ChoiceOne's financial position and results of operations is not expected to be material upon and after adoption.

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

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a semi-annual basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. 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 the Company to retain its investment in the issue for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

The financial impact of closing this office resulted in additional depreciation of $139,000 and a $68,000 expense in 2002 for early termination of the lease agreement. In September 2003, the Bank closed its Sparta Great Day Office in Sparta, Michigan. The financial impact of closing this office was immaterial. In 2003, the Bank also retired $1.2 million of fixed assets that were fully depreciated and no longer in service within the Bank or Insurance Agency. In September 2004, the Bank sold its Sparta Appletree Office in Sparta, Michigan for a gain of $162,000, of which $105,000 was deferred over a three-year term since part of the office was simultaneously leased back from the purchaser. Also, in September 2004, the Bank opened a new office in Rockford, Michigan. In December 2004, the Bank purchased vacant land for a new office i n Comstock Park, Michigan. The Bank's lease on the current Alpine Office location in Comstock Park will terminate in June 2005.

The Bank leases certain branch properties and automated-teller machine locations in its normal course of business. Rent expense totaled $40,000, $40,000 and $91,000 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Rent commitments under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows, before considering renewal options that generally are present.

Note 13 - Employee Benefit Plans

401(k) Plan:
The 401(k) plan allows employee contributions up to 15% of their compensation. Matching company contributions to the plan are discretionary. Expense of this plan was $65,000, $45,000, and $62,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan:
Employees participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"). In 2000, the ESOP borrowed $91,000 from the Bank and used the funds to acquire 5,100 shares of ChoiceOne common stock at $17.78 per share. These amounts have been adjusted for stock splits and dividends. ChoiceOne makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP, as well as paying dividends on unallocated shares to

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the ESOP, and the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. As loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and expense is recorded. Dividends on allocated shares increase the participant accounts.

Participants become fully vested upon completion of six years of qualifying service. Participants receive the shares at the end of employment. A participant may require stock received to be repurchased unless the stock is traded on an established market. Contributions from ChoiceOne to the ESOP during 2004, 2003, and 2002 were $23,000 for all three years. Expense for 2004, 2003, and 2002, was $18,000, $14,000, and $14,000, respectively.

The trend for annual increases in health care costs was assumed to be 8% for the year beginning January 1, 2005, dropping 1% annually to an annual rate of 6% for the year beginning January 1, 2007 and each year thereafter. The effect of a 1% increase or decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have an immaterial impact on the combined service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement health care benefits cost and the accumulated benefit obligation for health care benefits.

Deferred Compensation Plan:
A deferred compensation plan covers one former executive officer. Under the plan, ChoiceOne pays this individual the amount of compensation deferred plus interest over 10 years beginning with the individual's termination of service. A liability has been accrued for the obligation under this plan. ChoiceOne incurred deferred compensation plan expense of $1,000, $2,000, and $6,000 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, which resulted in a deferred compensation liability of $37,000 and $61,000 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. ChoiceOne has purchased life insurance on the participant. The cash surrender value of such insurance was $159,000 and $156,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and is included in other assets.

The estimated fair values approximate the carrying amounts for all assets and liabilities except those described later in this paragraph. The estimated fair value for securities available for sale is based on quoted market values for the individual securities or for equivalent securities. 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 loss 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 - 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:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 20 - Regulatory Capital

ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc. and ChoiceOne Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. 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 2004 and 2003, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized ChoiceOne and 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 institutions' categories.

Actual capital levels and minimum required levels were as follows:

Banking regulations limit capital distributions by state-chartered banks. Generally, capital distributions are limited to undistributed net income for the current and prior two years. At December 31, 2004, approximately $2.4 million was available to pay dividends to the holding company. The Bank is also subject to state regulations restricting the amount of dividends payable to the holding company. At December 31, 2004, the Bank had $7.8 million of retained earnings available for dividends under these regulations. The Company's ability to pay dividends is dependent on the Bank, which is restricted by state law and regulations. These regulations pose no practical restrictions to paying dividends at historical levels.
