CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
Chemung Financial Corporation (the "Corporation"), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the "Bank") and CFS Group, Inc., a financial services company, provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary and other financial services to its local market area. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The data in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in the Corporation's 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2008. That data, along with the other interim financial information presented in the consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, shareholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, contained in the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Amounts in prior periods' consolidated interim financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.
The consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary to present fairly the Corporation's financial position as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.
2. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by 3,598,284 and 3,600,147 weighted average shares outstanding for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and 3,599,889 and 3,592,057 weighted average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended June 30,2008 and 2007, respectively. Issuable shares (such as those related to directors' restricted stock units and directors' stock compensation) are considered outstanding and are included in the computation of basic earnings per share as they are earned. There were no dilutive common stock equivalents during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 or 2007.
3. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Corporation did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial
5
liabilities as of January 1, 2008, the effective date of the standard, therefore there was no impact upon adoption.
4. Fair Value
Statement 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The Corporation measures impairment of collateralized loans based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, incorporating assumptions that experienced parties might use in estimating the value of such collateral (Level 2 inputs). The Corporation has no Level 3 inputs.

5. Business Combinations
On March 14, 2008, the Bank completed the acquisition of three branches from Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company ("M&T") in the New York counties of Broome and Tioga. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 ("SFAS No. 141"). This acquisition represented an expansion of our presence in both Broome and Tioga counties, an opportunity to add to our client base, and provided an additional funding source to support future growth. In this transaction, the Bank assumed approximately $64.6 million of deposits and acquired $12.6 million in loans. The results of operation of the
6
acquired branches are included in the Corporation's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The identified intangible asset from this acquisition is a core deposit intangible of $1.1 million which is being amortized over 10 years. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition was $7.6 million.
On May 30, 2008, CFS Group, Inc. ("CFS"), the Corporation's financial services subsidiary, completed the acquisition of the client relationships of Cascio Financial Strategies from Joseph M. Cascio Sr. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 ("SFAS No. 141"). Cascio Financial Strategies was founded in 1985, and provided financial planning, investment and tax preparation services to more than 700 clients. This acquisition adds significantly to the client base of CFS, as well as adding tax preparation to the financial services offered by CFS, providing a source of additional fee income to the Corporation. The results of operation of the acquired business are included in the Corporation's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The identifiable intangible assets from this acquisition are a purchased client relationship intangible and a covenant not to compete totaling $500 thousand, which are being amortized over 5 years.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of operations, the Corporation engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are not recorded in the financial statements. The Corporation is also a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk such as commitments under standby letters of credit, unused portions of lines of credit and commitments to fund new loans. The Corporation's policy is to record such instruments when funded. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are generally used by the Corporation to manage clients' requests for funding and other client needs.

of the temporary impairments in the securities portfolio are due to their direct relationship to the movement in market interest rates, rather than credit quality issues. At June 30, 2008, these two trust preferred security pools had a combined estimated fair value of $2.25 million and amortized cost of $3.74 million. Currently, these securities are rated A2 and A1 by Moody's and A- by Fitch. Management believes the decline in market value of these securities is temporary and is due mainly to the current liquidity issues within the credit markets.
Accordingly, as of June 30, 2008, management believes the impairments in the portfolio are temporary and no impairment loss has been realized in the Corporation's consolidated income statements."

12. Segment Reporting
The Corporation manages its operations through two primary business segments: core banking and trust and investment advisory services. The core banking segment provides revenues by attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate consumer, commercial, commercial real estate, and residential mortgage loans, primarily in the Corporation's local markets and to invest in securities. The trust and investment advisory services segment provides revenues by providing trust and investment advisory services to clients.
Summarized financial information concerning the Corporation's reportable segments and the reconciliation to the Corporation's consolidated results is shown in the following table. Income taxes are allocated based on the separate taxable income of each entity and indirect overhead expenses are allocated based on reasonable and equitable allocations applicable to the reportable segment. Holding company amounts are the primary differences between segment amounts and consolidated totals, and are reflected in the Holding Company and Other column below, along with amounts to eliminate transactions between segments.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The review that follows focuses on the significant factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, with comparisons to the comparable periods in 2007, as applicable. The following discussion and the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included in this report, should be read in conjunction with our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2008. The results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.
Forward-looking Statements
This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Corporation intends its forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections. All statements regarding the Corporation's expected financial position and operating results, the Corporation's business strategy, the Corporation's financial plans, forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to the Corporation's industry and similar matters are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by the Corporation's use of forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," or "intend." The Corporation cannot promise that its expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. The Corporation's actual results could be materially different from expectations because of various factors, including changes in economic conditions or interest rates, credit risk, difficulties in managing our growth, competition, changes in the regulatory environment, and changes in general business and economic trends.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties
Critical accounting policies include the areas where the Corporation has made what it considers to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments in making estimates, and where these estimates can significantly affect the Corporation's financial results under different assumptions and conditions. The Corporation prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, the Corporation is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
Management also considers the accounting policy relating to other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities to be a critical accounting policy. If the Company deems any investment security's decline in market value to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to a new cost basis and the resulting loss is charged against earnings. The determination of whether a decline in market value is other-than-temporary is necessarily a matter of subjective judgment. The timing
13
and amount of any realized losses reported in the Company's financial statements could vary if management's conclusions were to change as to whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, the Company's management considers whether the securities are issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and industry analysts' reports. The Company's management currently conducts impairment evaluations at least on a quarterly basis and has concluded that, at June 30, 2008, there were no other-than-temporary impairments of the Company's investment securities.
Financial Condition
Consolidated assets at June 30, 2008 totaled $876.9 million, an increase of $88.0 million or 11.2% since December 31, 2007. As discussed in greater detail below, this increase was due in large part to the Corporation's acquisition of three branch offices from Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company ("M&T") on March 14, 2008. At that time, the Corporation assumed approximately $64.6 million of deposits and acquired approximately $12.6 million of loans. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2008, the Corporation completed a $50.0 million leveraged purchase of investment securities, resulting in a $39.7 million increase in the securities portfolio. Other increases in period-end assets are reflected primarily in a $32.7 million increase in loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned income, an $8.5 million increase in goodwill and other intangible assets, net, and a $7.5 million increase in cash and due from banks.
As noted above, total loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned income increased $32.7 million or 6.1% from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. The most significant growth was in consumer loans, which increased $19.1 million, primarily due to a $9.7 million increase in installment loans, a $7.4 million increase in home equity loans and a $2.1 million increase in student loans. The increase in installment loans was principally due to an increased volume of indirect automobile loan originations, while the home equity increase resulted from the M&T branch acquisition. Commercial lending has remained strong throughout the first half of this year with total commercial loans (including commercial mortgages) increasing $13.2 million. Residential mortgages increased approximately $361 thousand; however, during the first half of this year, $2.2 million of residential mortgage originations were sold to Freddie Mac.
The composition of the loan portfolio is summarized as follows:

The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $202.8 million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $37.4 million or 22.7% from December 31, 2007. At amortized cost, the available for sale portfolio increased approximately $43.2 million, with unrealized appreciation related to the available for sale portfolio decreasing $5.8 million. The increase in the available for sale portfolio at amortized cost reflects the above mentioned leveraged securities purchase whereby the Corporation purchased $50.0 million of mortgage-backed securities leveraged with $45.0 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase at laddered maturity dates. In total, since December 31, 2007, mortgage-backed securities increased $51.8 million, with municipal and trust preferred securities increasing $4.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a net $16.8 million decrease in federal agency bonds, as during the first half of this year $41.8 million of agency bonds were called or matured, offset by agency bond purchases totaling $25.0 million. The decrease in unrealized appreciation related to the available for sale portfolio was due primarily to the impact of increases in interest rates in June on the value of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, the impact of credit market volatility on trust preferred securities values and lower
14
market values of publicly traded equity securities. The held to maturity portion of the portfolio, consisting of local municipal obligations, increased approximately $2.2 million from $4.5 million at December 31, 2007 to $6.7 million at June 30, 2008.
The $7.6 million increase in goodwill along with an $885 thousand increase in other intangible assets, net, reflects the Corporation's acquisition on March 14, 2008 of the M&T branch offices and the acquisition on May 30, 2008 of Cascio Financial Strategies from Joseph M. Cascio, Sr. The identified intangible asset from the M&T branch acquisition is a core deposit intangible of approximately $1.1 million which is being amortized over 10 years. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition totaled $7.6 million. The identified intangible assets from the acquisition of Cascio Financial Strategies are a purchased relationship intangible of $498 thousand and a covenant not to compete of $2 thousand, which are being amortized over 5 years. During the first quarter of 2008, the Corporation recognized $226 thousand in accelerated amortization of the purchased relationship intangible associated with the purchase of the trust relationships from Partners Trust in May of 2007, as a large account was closed during that quarter.
A $7.5 million increase in cash and due from banks reflects higher period-end federal transit items and Federal Reserve Bank balances.
Since December 31, 2007, total deposits have increased $83.7 million or 14.6% from $572.6 million to $656.3 million, with $62.6 million of this increase associated with the M&T branch acquisition. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $14.3 million, including newly acquired demand deposits totaling $8.9 million. A $69.4 million increase in interest bearing balances was reflected primarily in a $29.9 million increase in time deposits and a $22.7 million increase in insured money market balances, as well as increases in savings and NOW balances totaling $9.9 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The increase in time deposits includes $28.7 million of time deposits acquired from M&T, with the increase in insured money market accounts due in large part to a $16.4 million increase resulting from the M&T acquisition. The increase in savings account balances reflects approximately $5.4 million in deposits acquired from M&T, as well as an increase in other personal savings balances, while the increase in NOW accounts was due to $3.2 million in balances at the three new offices, as well as increases in other personal and non-personal balances.
A $33.5 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase reflects the above mentioned funding related to the leveraged securities purchases, while excess funds from the significant increase in deposits resulted in a $24.4 million reduction in short term borrowings under the Corporation's line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB").
A $4.2 million decrease in other liabilities is primarily due to reductions in net deferred tax liabilities and the Corporation's reserve for income taxes.
Asset Quality
Non-performing loans at June 30, 2008 totaled $3.517 million as compared to $3.573 million at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $56 thousand. This decrease resulted from decreases in troubled debt restructurings and accruing loans 90 days or more past due totaling $42 thousand and $30 thousand, respectively, partially offset by a $16 thousand increase in non-accrual loans. The increase in non-accrual loans since December 31, 2007 was due to a $113 thousand increase in non-accrual consumer loans, offset by a $46 thousand decrease in non-accrual home equity loans, as well as decreases in non-accrual mortgages and commercial loans totaling $27 thousand and $24 thousand, respectively. The $30 thousand decrease in accruing loans 90 days or more past due resulted from a $130 thousand reduction in past due mortgage loans, partially offset by increases in past due home equity and other consumer loans totaling $49 thousand and $51 thousand, respectively, while the $42 thousand decrease on troubled debt restructurings reflects principal payments made since the end of 2007. An increase in Other Real Estate Owned of $117 thousand reflects the addition of one commercial property and one residential property during the first half of 2008.

In addition to non-performing loans, as of June 30, 2008, the Corporation has identified 15 commercial loan relationships totaling $10.3 million in potential problem loans, as compared to $11.1 million (14 commercial loan relationships) at December 31, 2007. Potential problem loans are loans that are currently performing, but where known information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms, and which may result in the disclosure of such loans as non-performing at some time in the future. At the Corporation, potential problem loans are typically loans that are performing but are classified in the Corporation's loan rating system as "substandard". Management cannot predict the extent to which any factors may impact borrowers and the potential problem loans. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other loans will not become 90 days or more past due, be placed on non-accrual, become restructured, or require increased allowance coverage and provisions for loan losses.
Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is performed on a periodic basis and takes into consideration such factors as the historical loan loss experience, review of specific problem loans (including evaluation of the underlying collateral), changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, recent charge-off experience, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. During the second quarter of 2008, the Corporation expensed $225 thousand to the provision for loan losses as compared to $475 thousand during the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of $250 thousand. This decrease was principally due to the fact that during the second quarter of 2007, the Corporation charged-off a commercial loan against the allowance for loan losses for which no previous allocation to the allowance had been made. This was partially offset, however, by higher consumer loan charge-offs during the second quarter of this year. Similarly, the year-to date provision for loan losses totaling $425 thousand was $175 thousand lower than the amount expensed during the first six months of last year, due principally to lower net commercial loan charge-offs, which were partially offset by an increase in net consumer loan charge-offs. At June 30, 2008, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses totaled $8.468 million, resulting in a coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans of 240.8%. The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable loan losses on existing loans. Net loan charge-offs for the first half of 2008 totaled $410 thousand compared to $552 thousand in the first half of last year. This decrease was principally due to a $420 thousand reduction in net commercial loan charge-offs, offset primarily by a $291 thousand increase in net consumer loan charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses to total loans at June 30, 2008 was 1.48% as compared to 1.57% as of December 31, 2007.

Results of Operations
Second Quarter of 2008 vs. Second Quarter of 2007
Net income for the second quarter of 2008 totaled $2.272 million, an increase of $454 thousand as compared to second quarter 2007 net income of $1.818 million. Earnings per share increased 23.5% from $0.51 per share to $0.63 per share. This improvement in second quarter net income resulted principally from an increase in net interest income and a reduction in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and a higher effective tax rate.
Net interest income increased $1.162 million or 18.2% from $6.396 million during the second quarter of 2007 to $7.558 million during the second quarter of 2008, with the net interest margin increasing 28 basis points to 3.97%. This improvement in net interest income and margin resulted principally from an increase in average loans and securities, and a 79 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 26 basis point decrease in the average yield on earning assets. A $69.5 million or 10.0% increase in average earning assets was principally due to a $49.9 million or 9.7% increase in average loans, as well as increases in the average securities portfolio and federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits of $13.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The increase in average loans is reflective of growth in all segments of the loan portfolio, with average consumer loans increasing $20.5 million, average mortgages increasing $16.3 million and average commercial loans increasing $13.1 million. Approximately $12.1 million of the increase in average loans is due to loans acquired in the M&T branch acquisition, primarily reflected in higher consumer loan averages. The increase in the average securities portfolio was due in large part to the leveraged securities transaction completed in the second quarter of this year. While on average, earning assets increased 10.0%, total interest and dividend income was up $558 thousand or 5.2%, as the average yield on earning assets declined 26 basis points to 5.98%.
Total average funding liabilities, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, increased $76.5 million or 11.4% compared to second quarter 2007 averages, due primarily to a $69.3 million increase in average deposits and a $7.2 million increase in average other borrowed funds. Approximately $64.0 million of the increase in average deposits was related to the M&T branch acquisition. In total,
17
average non-interest bearing deposits increased $9.7 million, while average interest-bearing deposits increased $59.6 million. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was reflected primarily in higher average insured money market and time deposits of $32.1 million and $18.0 million, respectively. Additionally, average savings and NOW account balances increased $5.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The increase in average other borrowings was due to a $14.1 million increase in average securities sold under agreements to repurchase, somewhat offset by a $6.9 million decrease in average short term borrowings under the Corporation's line of credit with the FHLB. While average interest-bearing liabilities increased $66.8 million or 12.8%, interest expense decreased $604 thousand or 13.7%, as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 79 basis points from 3.39% to 2.60%.
As discussed more fully under the Asset Quality section of this report, a $250 thousand decrease in the provision for loan losses as compared to the second quarter of 2007 was primarily due to a significantly lower level of net commercial loan charge-off's, and reflects management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors, including an analysis of historical loss factors, the evaluation of collateral, recent charge-off experience, overall credit quality and loan growth.
Non-interest income during the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of last year increased $87 thousand or 2.0%. This increase was impacted to a great extent by increases in Trust and Investment Center fee income and service charges on deposit accounts totaling $164 thousand and $99 thousand, respectively. The increase in Trust and Investment Center fee income was principally due to higher fee income associated with the Corporation's acquisition in May of 2007 of the trust department relationships of Partners Trust, while the increase in service charges is primarily due to higher fee income related to checks presented against insufficient funds. Other significant non-interest income increases included a $60 thousand increase in check card interchange fee income, as well as increases in revenue from the Corporation's equity investment in Cephas Capital Partners, LP ("Cephas") and cash management fees totaling $40 thousand and $36 thousand, respectively. The above increases were somewhat offset primarily by a $193 thousand decrease in gains on the sale of Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"), as during the second quarter of 2007 the Corporation recognized a $193 thousand gain on the sale of a commercial property that had previously been foreclosed upon, as well as a $41 thousand decrease in revenue generated from OREO properties.
Second quarter 2008 operating expenses increased $765 thousand or 10.1% from the comparable period last year, due in large part to expenses associated with the M&T branch acquisition in March of this year and the Corporation's acquisition of the trust relationships of Partners Trust in May of 2007. Costs associated with these acquisitions represent approximately $607 thousand of the operating expense increase. Specific areas having the greatest impact on the total operating expense increase include a $272 thousand increase in salaries, a $184 thousand increase in employee benefit costs, a $166 thousand increase in net occupancy costs and a $90 thousand increase in amortization of intangible assets. The increase in salaries reflects additions to staff related to acquisitions as well as merit increases over the past year. The increase in the cost of employee benefits was principally due to a $97 thousand increase in health insurance costs and a non-recurring cost of $62 thousand for gas gift cards issued to staff during the second quarter. Higher occupancy expenses have been impacted by increased rent associated with our Binghamton, Herkimer, Oakdale Mall, Tioga and Vestal offices, as well as a land lease for a new office, which will replace our existing Cayuga Heights office following completion of construction. The increase in occupancy costs also reflects higher depreciation, maintenance and utilities. Higher amortization expense is related to acquisitions.
A $280 thousand increase in income tax expense and the increase in the effective tax rate from 30.4% in the second quarter of 2007 to 32.1% in the second quarter of this year resulted principally from an increase in pre-tax income as well as a decrease in the relative percentage of tax-exempt income to pre-tax income.
Year-To Date 2008 vs. Year-To-Date 2007
Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 totaled $4.414 million, an increase of $896 thousand compared to net income of $3.518 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. Earnings per share increased 25.5% from $0.98 per share
18
to $1.23 per share. This increase in year-to-date net income resulted principally from increases in net interest income and non-interest income, as well as a reduction in the provision for loan losses, somewhat offset by an increase in operating expenses and a higher effective tax rate.
Net interest income increased $2.078 million or 16.6% from $12.515 million to $14.593 million, with the net interest margin increasing 31 basis points to 3.98%. This improvement in net interest income and margin resulted principally from an increase in average loans and a 60 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, somewhat offset by a 10 basis point decrease in the average yield on earning assets. A $50.0 million or 7.3% increase in average earning assets reflects a $53.0 million increase in average loans and a $4.9 million increase in average federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, somewhat offset by a $7.9 million decrease in the average securities portfolio. The increase in average loans is reflective of growth in all segments of the loan portfolio, with average consumer loans increasing $23.7 million, average mortgages increasing $20.0 million and average commercial loans increasing $9.3 million. Approximately $7.3 million of the increase in average loans is due to loans acquired in the M&T branch acquisition. While on average, earning assets increased 7.3%, total interest and dividend income was up $1.237 million or 5.8%, as the average yield on earning assets was down 10 basis points to 6.13%.
Total average funding liabilities, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, increased $54.1 million or 8.2% compared to year-to-date 2007 averages, due to increases in average deposits and other borrowed funds of $47.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Approximately $38.5 million of the increase in average deposits was related to the M&T branch acquisition. In total, average non-interest bearing deposits increased $6.2 million, while average interest-bearing deposits increased $41.0 million. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was reflected primarily in higher average insured money market and time deposits of $22.1 million and $13.9 million, respectively. Additionally, average savings and NOW account balances increased $2.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The increase in average other borrowings was primarily due to a $5.6 million increase in average securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While average interest-bearing liabilities increased $48.0 million or 9.3%, interest expense decreased $841 thousand or 9.7%, as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 60 basis points from 3.40% to 2.80%.
As discussed more fully under the Asset Quality section of this report, a $175 thousand decrease in the provision for loan losses as compared to the second quarter of 2007 was primarily due to a significantly lower level of net commercial loan charge-off's, and reflects management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors, including an analysis of historical loss factors, the evaluation of collateral, recent charge-off experience, overall credit quality and loan growth.
Non-interest income for the first half of 2008 increased $1.011 million or 12.5% when compared to the comparable period last year. This increase was due in large part to a $757 thousand increase in Trust and Investment Center fee income and a $580 thousand increase in gains on securities transactions. The increase in Trust and Investment Center fee income reflects additional revenue resulting from the acquisition of the trust relationships of Partners Trust in May of 2007. The increase in gains on securities transactions was impacted to a great extent by the initial public offering ("IPO") of Visa, Inc. ("Visa") during the first quarter of this year. As a Visa member institution, the Corporation was issued shares of Visa prior to the IPO, approximately 39% of which were redeemed by Visa following the IPO, resulting in a net pre-tax gain of $411 thousand. Other significant increases include a $257 thousand increase in service charges, a $102 thousand increase in check card interchange fee income and a $97 thousand increase in revenue from the Corporation's equity investment in Cephas. These increases were somewhat offset primarily by a $656 thousand decrease in gains on the sale of OREO related to the sale of two commercial properties during the first half of 2007.
Operating expenses for the first six months of this year increased $1.745 million or 11.7%, with approximately $1.4 million of this increase related to acquisitions. As was the case with the second quarter operating expense increase, and for reasons discussed above, areas significantly impacting this increase include a $495 thousand increase in salaries, a $416 thousand increase in amortization of intangible assets,
19
a $398 thousand increase in net occupancy costs and a $236 thousand increase in the cost of employee benefits. The increase in amortization of intangible assets includes $226 thousand in accelerated amortization of the intangible related to the purchase of the trust relationships of Partners Trust associated with the closing of a large account during the first quarter of this year. In addition to the above, data processing expenses increased $207 thousand, primarily due to higher software maintenance costs, expenses related to the conversion of former M&T accounts and check card processing costs.
The $622 thousand increase in income tax expense and the increase in the effective tax rate from 30.1% for the first half of 2007 to 32.6% for the first half of this year were primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income, as well as a decrease in the relative percentage of tax-exempt income to pre-tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of deposit customers, borrowers, and the operating, investing, and financing activities of the Corporation. The Corporation uses a variety of resources to meet its liquidity needs. These include short term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, core deposit growth and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits of $100,000 or more, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings.
The Corporation is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") which allows it to access borrowings which enhance management's ability to satisfy future liquidity needs. At June 30, 2008, the Corporation maintained a $149.4 million line of credit with the FHLB, as compared to $144.4 million at June 30, 2007.
During the first six months of 2008, cash and cash equivalents increased $7.4 million as compared to an increase of $1.7 million during the first six months of last year. In addition to cash provided by operating activities, a major source of cash was the net cash received in the M&T branch acquisition totaling $43.5 million. The major factors netting to this included cash received for the deposits assumed totaling $64.6 million, which was offset primarily by the purchase of $12.6 million of loans, the payment of an $8.4 million premium for the deposits assumed, and the purchase of fixed assets totaling $120 thousand. Other primary sources of cash during the first six months of 2008 included proceeds from maturities and principal payments on securities totaling $53.0 million, a $33.5 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, an $18.7 million increase in other deposits and $1.0 million in net redemptions of FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock. Proceeds from the above were used primarily to fund purchases of securities totaling $97.9 million, a $24.4 million net reduction of FHLB advances, an $18.5 million net increase in loans, payment of cash dividends totaling $1.8 million and the purchase of fixed assets in the amount of $1.3 million.
In addition to cash provided by operating activities, other primary sources of cash during the first six months of 2007 included proceeds from maturities and principal payments on securities totaling $27.3 million, a $27.9 million net increase in FHLB advances, a $12.0 million increase in deposits and proceeds from the sale of OREO totaling $2.3 million. Proceeds from the above were used primarily to fund a $53.9 million net increase in loans, purchases of securities totaling $11.1 million, a $5.3 million purchased intangible related to the purchase of the trust business of
22
Partners Trust, payment of cash dividends totaling $1.7 million, a $1.3 million increase in FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock, and the purchase of fixed assets and treasury shares in the amounts of $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2008, the Corporation's consolidated leverage ratio was 8.57%. The Tier I and Total Risk Adjusted Capital ratios were 11.88% and 13.66%, respectively. All of the above ratios are in excess of the requirements for being considered "well capitalized" by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the New York State Banking Department.
During the first six months of 2008, the Corporation declared cash dividends of $0.50 per share compared with $0.48 per share declared during the first six months of 2007, an increase of 4.2%.
As intermediaries between borrowers and savers, commercial banks incur both interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") has the strategic responsibility for setting the policy guidelines on acceptable exposure to these areas. These guidelines contain specific measures and limits regarding these risks, which are monitored on a regular basis. The ALCO is made up of the president and chief executive officer, two executive vice presidents, chief financial officer, asset liability management officer, senior marketing officer, and others representing key functions.
The ALCO is also responsible for supervising the preparation and annual revisions of the financial segments of the annual budget, which is built upon the committee's economic and interest-rate assumptions. It is the responsibility of the ALCO to modify prudently the Corporation's asset/liability policies.
Interest rate risk is the risk that net interest income will fluctuate as a result of a change in interest rates. It is the assumption of interest rate risk, along with credit risk, that drives the net interest margin of a financial institution. For that reason, the ALCO has established tolerance limits based upon a 200-basis point change in interest rates. At June 30, 2008, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 3.08% and an immediate 200-basis point increase would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 3.53%. Both are within the Corporation's policy guideline of 15% established by ALCO.
A related component of interest rate risk is the expectation that the market value of our capital account will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. This component is a direct corollary to the earnings-impact component: an institution exposed to earnings erosion is also exposed to shrinkage in market value. At June 30, 2008, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the market value of our capital account by 6.03% and an immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would negatively impact the market value by 8.20%. Both are within the established tolerance limit of 15%.
Management does recognize the need for certain hedging strategies during periods of anticipated higher fluctuations in interest rates and the Board-approved Funds Management Policy provides for limited use of certain derivatives in asset liability management. These strategies were not employed during the first six months of 2008.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Information required by this Item is set forth herein in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading "Interest Rate Risk."
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
The Corporation's management, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the Corporation's principal executive officer, and our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, who is the Corporation's principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2008.
There were no significant changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Corporation's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.
