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, 2011 was derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements in the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2012.  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 2011 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and results of operations for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Subsequent events were evaluated for any
required recognition or disclosure. 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 Common Share

Basic earnings per share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period.  Issuable shares, including 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.  All outstanding unvested share based payment awards that
contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation.
Restricted stock awards are grants of participating securities.  The impact of the participating securities
on earnings per share is not material.  Earnings per share information is adjusted to present comparative
results for stock splits and stock dividends that occur.  Earnings per share were computed by dividing
net income by 4,642,012 and 3,624,434 weighted average shares outstanding for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  There were no dilutive common stock
equivalents during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 or 2011.

3.           Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In May, 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and
disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles.  Overall, the guidance is
consistent with existing U.S. accounting principles; however, there are some amendments that change a
particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value
measurements.  The amendments in this guidance are effective for interim and annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2011.  The effect of adopting this standard did not have a material effect
on the Corporation’s operating results or financial condition, but the additional disclosures are included
in Note 4.

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components
of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The
amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or
in two separate consecutive statements.  The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the
beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15,
2011.  In connection with the adoption of this amendment, the Corporation changed the presentation of
the statement of comprehensive income for the Corporation to two consecutive statements instead of
presenting it as part of the consolidated statements of shareholder’s equity.

4.           Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date.  There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for 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 Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Investment Securities:  The fair values of securities available for sale are usually determined by
obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs), or matrix
pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used 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's investment in collateralized debt obligations consisting of pooled trust preferred
securities which are issued by financial institutions were historically priced using Level 2 inputs.  The
lack of observable inputs and market activity in this class of investments has been significant
and resulted in unreliable external pricing.  Broker pricing and bid/ask spreads, when available, have varied
widely.  The once active market has become comparatively inactive. As a result, these investments are
now priced using Level 3 inputs.

The Corporation has developed an internal model for pricing these securities. This is the same model
used in determining other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) as further described in Note 8.  
Information such as historical and current performance of the underlying collateral, deferral/default
rates, collateral coverage ratios, break in yield calculations, cash flow projections, liquidity and credit
premiums required by a market participant, and financial trend analysis with respect to the individual
issuing financial institutions, are utilized in determining individual security valuations. Discount rates
were utilized along with the cash flow projections in order to calculate an appropriate fair value.  These
discount rates were calculated based on industry index rates and adjusted for various credit and liquidity
factors.  Due to current market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these securities, the
market value of the securities is highly sensitive to assumption changes and market volatility.

Trading Assets:  The fair values of trading assets are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1
inputs).

Impaired Loans:  At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value.  
Impaired loans carried at fair value have been partially charged-off or receive specific allocations as part
of the allowance for loan losses.  For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on real
estate appraisals.  These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of
approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.  Adjustments are routinely made in the
appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales
and income data available.  Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3
classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an
appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or
discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of
the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in
a Level 3 fair value classification.  Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional
impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other Real Estate Owned:  Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosures are initially recorded
at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  These assets are
subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair value is
commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation
approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.
Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for
differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually
significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”) are
performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers
(for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the
Corporation.  Once received, appraisals are reviewed for reasonableness of assumptions, approaches
utilized, Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and other regulatory compliance, as well
as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market
data or industry-wide statistics.  Appraisals are generally completed within the previous 12 month period
prior to a property being placed into OREO.  On impaired loans, appraisals are adjusted based on the age
of the appraisal, the position of the lien, the type of the property and its condition.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three-month period ending March 31, 2012
or the year ending December, 31, 2011.
 
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s
collateralized debt obligations are probabilities of specific-issuer defaults and deferrals and specific-
issuer recovery assumptions.  Significant increases in specific-issuer default assumptions or decreases
in specific-issuer recovery assumptions would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.  
Conversely, decreases in specific-issuer default assumptions or increases in specific-issuer recovery
assumptions would result in a higher fair value measurement.  The Corporation treats all interest
payment deferrals as defaults and assumes no recoveries on defaults.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral
dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $3,838,542 with a valuation allowance of $1,805,364 as of
March 31, 2012, resulting in no additional provision for loan losses for the three month period ending
March 31, 2012.  Impaired loans had a carrying amount of $6,095,645, with a valuation allowance of
$1,942,206 as of December 31, 2011, resulting in a $958,333 provision for loan losses for the year
ending December 31, 2011.


OREO, which is measured by the lower of carrying or fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying
amount of $980,000 at March 31, 2012.  The net carrying amount reflects the outstanding balance of
$1,091,407 net of a valuation allowance of $111,407 at March 31, 2012 and no write downs resulted for
the three-month period ending March 31, 2012.  OREO had a net carrying amount of $897,755 at
December 31, 2011.  The net carrying amount reflects the outstanding balance of $1,009,162 net of a
valuation allowance of $111,407 at December 31, 2011, which resulted in write downs of $12,120
for the year ending December 31, 2011.

(1) Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and
information about the financial instrument.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties
and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in
assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
 

 
14

 
 
The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Cash, Due From and Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions

For those short-term instruments that generally mature in ninety days or less, the carrying value
approximates fair value of which non interest-bearing deposits are classified as Level 1 and interest-
bearing deposits with the FHLB and FRB are classified as Level 1, and time deposits are classified as
Level 2.

FHLB and FRB Stock

It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB and FRB stock due to restrictions on its
transferability.

Loans Receivable

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently, fair values approximate carrying values.  The fair values
for other loans are estimated through discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently being
offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality.  Loans are classified as Level 3.  The methods
utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.  Loans held for sale
are classified as Level 2.

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, savings accounts and money market accounts are, by
definition, equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying values) and
classified as Level 1.

The fair value of certificates of deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies
interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of the weighted-average expected
monthly maturities and classified as Level 2.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (Repurchase Agreements)

These instruments bear both variable and fixed rates of interest.  Therefore, the carrying value
approximates fair value for the variable rate instruments and the fair value of fixed rate instruments is
based on discounted cash flows to maturity.  These are classified as Level 2.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

These instruments bear a stated rate of interest to maturity and, therefore, the fair value is based on
discounted cash flows to maturity and classified as Level 2.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

For these short-term instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value resulting in a classification
of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 depending upon the classification of the asset/liability they are associated
with.

7.           Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation is 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, overdraft protection and
commitments to fund new loans.  In accordance with U.S. GAAP, these financial instruments are not
recorded in the financial statements.  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.

In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding claims and legal proceedings involving
the Corporation or its subsidiaries.  On February 14 and April 14, 2011, the Bank received separate
settlement demands from representatives of beneficiaries of certain trusts for which the Bank has acted
as trustee.  The settlement demands relate to alleged claims of, among other things, breach of the Bank’s
fiduciary duties as trustee, including the Bank’s alleged failure to adequately diversify the relevant trust
portfolios. The beneficiaries seek aggregate damages of up to approximately $27.0 million.  On
September 16, 2011, the beneficiaries objected in the Surrogate’s Court of the State of New York,
County of Chemung (the “Surrogate’s Court”) to accountings with respect to the above-mentioned trusts
provided by the Bank, based on allegations similar to those offered in the settlement demands.  The
matter remains pending at the Surrogate Court.  Although these matters are inherently unpredictable,
management will defend against these claims vigorously.  Management has concluded that it is
reasonably possible, but not probable, that the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of
the Corporation could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable
resolution of these claims, not withstanding any potential recovery under applicable insurance coverage.  
An amount of loss or range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

When OTTI occurs, for either debt securities or purchased beneficial interests, the amount of the OTTI
recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not
will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period
credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before
recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in
earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at
the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not
that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any
current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the
amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined
based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The
amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of
applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the
new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of March 31, 2012, the majority of the Corporation's unrealized losses in the investment securities
portfolio related to two pooled trust preferred securities. The decline in fair value on these securities is
primarily attributable to the financial crisis and resulting credit deterioration and financial condition of
the underlying issuers, all of which are financial institutions.  This deterioration may affect the future
receipt of both principal and interest payments on these securities.  This fact combined with the current
illiquidity in the market makes it unlikely that the Corporation would be able to recover its investment in
these securities if the securities were sold at this time.  One of these securities has been previously
written down through the income statement to an amount considered to be immaterial to the financial
statements.  Therefore management is no longer analyzing this security for further impairment.

Our analysis of these investments includes a $629 thousand book value collateralized debt obligation
("CDO") which is a pooled trust preferred security. This security was rated high quality at inception, but
at March 31, 2012 Moody's rated this security as Caa3, which is defined as substantial risk of default.  
The Corporation uses the OTTI evaluation model to compare the present value of expected cash flows to
the previous estimate to determine if there are adverse changes in cash flows during each quarter. The
OTTI model considers the structure and term of the CDO and the financial condition of the underlying
issuers. Specifically, the model details interest rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying
issuers, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the
allocation of the payments to the note classes. The current estimate of expected cash flows is based on
the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information including announcements of
interest payment deferrals or defaults of underlying trust preferred securities.

Upon completion of the March 31, 2012 analysis, our model indicated no additional other-than-
temporary impairment on the TPREF Funding II security.  This security remained classified as available
for sale and represented $300 thousand of the unrealized losses reported at March 31, 2012.  Payments
continue to be made as agreed on this security.

When conducting the March 31, 2012 analysis, the present value of expected future cash flows using a
discount rate equal to the yield in effect at the time of purchase was compared to the previous quarters'
analysis.  The analysis indicated no further decline in value attributed to credit related factors stemming
from further deterioration in the underlying collateral payment streams.  Additionally, to estimate fair
value the present value of the expected future cash flows was calculated using a current estimated
discount rate that a willing market participant might use to value the security based on current market
conditions and interest rates.  This comparison indicated an increase in value based on factors other than
credit which resulted in a gain reported in other comprehensive income.  Changes in credit quality may
or may not correlate to changes in the overall fair value of the impaired securities as the change in credit
quality is only one component in assessing the overall fair value of the impaired securities.  Therefore,
the recognition of additional credit related OTTI could result in a gain reported in other comprehensive
income.  Total other-than-temporary impairment recognized in accumulated other comprehensive
income was $188,878 and $228,598 for securities available for sale at March 31, 2012 and March 31,
2011, respectively.

Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the
collectability of all or a portion of the principal is unlikely.  The allowance is an amount that
management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans.
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 credit risk grade assigned to the loan, historical
loan loss experience and review of specific problem loans (including evaluations of the underlying
collateral).  Historical loss experience is adjusted by management based on their judgment as to the
current impact of qualitative factors including changes in the composition and volume of the loan
portfolio, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers'
ability to pay.  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable
incurred losses.  While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
Corporation's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize
additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of
their examination.

Management, after considering current information and events regarding a borrower's ability to repay its
obligations, classifies a loan as impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  If a loan is impaired, a
portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan 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
residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not
separately identified for impairment disclosures.  Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified
for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using
the loan’s effective rate at inception.  If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral
dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral.  For troubled debt
restructurings that subsequently default, the Corporation determines the amount of reserve in accordance
with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

 
22

 

The general component of the allowance for loan losses covers non-impaired loans and is based on
historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.  Loans not impaired but classified as substandard
and special mention use a historical loss factor on a rolling five year history of net losses.  For all other
unclassified loans, the historical loss experience is determined by portfolio class and is based on the
actual loss history experienced by the Corporation over the most recent two years.  This actual loss
experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio
class.  These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in
delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume
and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in
lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and
other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects
of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified:  commercial,
financial and agricultural; commercial mortgages; residential mortgages; and consumer loans.

Risk Characteristics

Commercial, financial and agricultural loans primarily consist of loans to small to mid-sized businesses
in our market area in a diverse range of industries.  These loans are of higher risk and typically are made
on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business.  
Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may
fluctuate in value.  The credit risk related to commercial loans is largely influenced by general economic
conditions and the resulting impact on a borrower’s operations or on the value of underlying collateral,
if any.

Commercial mortgage loans generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than
residential mortgage loans, inferring higher potential losses on an individual customer basis.  Loan
repayment is often dependent on the successful operation and management of the properties and/or the
businesses occupying the properties, as well as on the collateral securing the loan.  Economic events or
conditions in the real estate market could have an adverse impact on the cash flows generated by
properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate loans and on the value of such properties.

Residential mortgage loans are generally made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment
from his or her employment and other income, but are secured by real property whose value tends to be
more easily ascertainable.  Credit risk for these types of loans is generally influenced by general
economic conditions, the characteristics of individual borrowers and the nature of the loan collateral.

The consumer loan segment includes home equity lines of credit and home equity loans, which exhibit
many of the same risk characteristics as residential mortgages.  Indirect and other consumer loans may
entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage and home equity loans, particularly in the case of
other consumer loans which are unsecured or, in the case of indirect consumer loans, secured by
depreciable assets, such as automobiles or boats. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted
consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance.  In
addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, thus
are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances such as job loss, illness or personal
bankruptcy.  Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and
insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

The following tables present activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three-
month periods ending March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 and by loans originated by the Corporation
(referred to as “Legacy” loans) and loans acquired in the FOFC merger completed on April 8, 2011
(referred to as “Acquired” loans).  The Acquired loan allowance represents any valuation allowances
established after acquisition for decreases in cash flows expected to be collected on loans acquired with
deteriorated credit quality:

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

The Corporation has $66 thousand of allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have
been modified in troubled debt restructurings which are included in non-accrual loans as of March 31,
2012.  The Corporation had $218 thousand allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms
have been modified in troubled debt restructurings which are included in non-accrual loans as of
December 31, 2011.  The Corporation has not committed to lend any additional amounts as of March 31,
2012 or December 31, 2011 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as trouble debt
restructurings.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, one loan in the amount of $59 thousand was modified
as a troubled debt restructuring by the Corporation.  The modification of the terms of this loan included
an extension of the maturity date.  Additionally, there were no payment defaults on any loans previously
modified as troubled debt restructurings within twelve months following the modification.  A loan is
considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.


Credit Quality Indicators:

The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of
borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience,
credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  The
Corporation analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  This analysis
includes new consumer, mortgage and home equity loans and lines with outstanding balances greater than $50
thousand, $250 thousand and $100 thousand, respectively, along with a sample of existing loans and
non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans.  The loans meeting these
criteria are reviewed at least annually.  The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk rating:

Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves
management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration
of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position as some future date.

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and
paying capability of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified have a well-
defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by
the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as
substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on
the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described
process are considered to be not rated loans.  Based on the analysis’s performed as of March 31, 2012
and December 31, 2011, the risk category of the recorded investment of loans by class of loans is as
follows:

The Corporation considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan
losses. For residential and consumer loan classes, the Corporation also evaluates credit quality based on
the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity. The following
table presents the recorded investment in residential and consumer loans based on payment activity as of
March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

11.           Segment Reporting


The Corporation manages its operations through two primary business segments: core banking and
wealth management group 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 wealth management group 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. (dollars in thousands)

12.           Stock Based Compensation

Board of Director’s Stock Compensation

Members of the Board of Directors receive common shares of the Corporation equal in value to the
amount of fees individually earned during the previous year for service as a director.  The common
shares are distributed to the Corporation's individual board members from treasury shares of the
Corporation on or about January 15 following the calendar year of service.

Additionally, the President and CEO of the Corporation, who does not receive cash compensation as a
member of the Board of Directors, is awarded common shares equal in value to the average of those
awarded to board members not employed by the Corporation who have served for twelve (12) months
during the prior year.

During January 2012, 10,238 shares were re-issued from treasury to fund the stock component of
directors' compensation.  An expense of $54 thousand related to this compensation was recognized
during the first quarter of 2012.

Restricted Stock Plan

Pursuant to the Corporation’s Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”) the Corporation may make
discretionary grants of restricted stock to officers other than the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer.  
Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the
stock at issue date.  The maximum number of shares as to which stock awards may be granted under the
Plan is 10,000 per year, with these shares vesting over a 5 year period.


A summary of restricted stock activity from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012 is presented below:

   
Shares
   
Weighted–Average Grant Date Fair Value
 
Nonvested at December 31, 2011
    12,458       22.33  
  Granted
    1,079       23.18  
  Vested
    -       -  
  Forfeited or Cancelled
    -       -  
Nonvested at March 31, 2012
    13,537       22.40  

As of March 31, 2012, there was $283,012 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested
shares granted under the Plan.  The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
4.37 years.

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-month period ended March 31, 2012, with comparisons to
the comparable period in 2011, 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 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 28, 2012.  The results for the period ended March 31, 2012 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.  Statements regarding, among other things, 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 law or the regulatory environment, including as a result of regulations or rules
promulgated pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and changes in
general business and economic trends.  Information concerning risks facing the Corporation can be found in
our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in our 2011 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.  These filings are available publicly on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, on the
Corporation's website at http://www.chemungcanal.com or upon request from the Corporate Secretary at
(607) 737-3788.  Except as otherwise required by law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.

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 concerning 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 at that time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the periods presented.  Actual results could be different from these estimates.

 
37

 

Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical
accounting policy given the uncertainty in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover
probable incurred credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and the material effect that such judgments
can have on the Corporation's results of operations. While management's current evaluation of the
allowance for loan losses indicates that the allowance is adequate, under adversely different conditions
or assumptions the allowance would need to be increased.  For example, if historical loan loss
experience significantly worsened or if current economic conditions significantly deteriorated,
additional provisions for loan losses would be required to increase the allowance.  In addition, the
assumptions and estimates used in the internal reviews of the Corporation's non-performing loans and
potential problem loans, and the associated evaluation of the related collateral coverage for these loans,
has a significant impact on the overall analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Real
estate values in the Corporation’s market area did not increase dramatically in the prior several years,
and, as a result, any declines in real estate values have been modest.  While management has concluded
that the current evaluation of collateral values is reasonable under the circumstances, if collateral
evaluations were significantly lowered, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses policy would also
require additional provisions for loan losses.

Management also considers the accounting policy relating to other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI")
of investment securities to be a critical accounting policy.  The determination of whether a decline in
market value is other-than-temporary is necessarily a matter of subjective judgment. The timing and
amount of any realized losses reported in the Corporation's financial statements could vary if
management's conclusions were to change as to whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists. The
Corporation assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell
a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these
criteria is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized through a
charge to earnings.  For those securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, such as those that
management has determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the amount of impairment charged
to earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is
recognized in other comprehensive income.  For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the
Corporation recognized no OTTI charges.

Management also considers the accounting policy relating to the valuation of goodwill and other
intangible assets to be a critical accounting policy.  The initial carrying value of goodwill and other
intangible assets is determined using estimated fair values developed from various sources and other
generally accepted valuation techniques.  Estimates are based upon financial, economic, market and
other conditions as they existed as of the date of a particular acquisition.  These estimates of fair value
are the results of judgments made by the Corporation based upon estimates that are inherently uncertain
and changes in the assumptions upon which the estimates were based may have a significant impact on
the resulting estimates.  In addition to the initial determination of the carrying value, on an ongoing basis
management must assess whether there is any impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets that
would require an adjustment in carrying value and recognition of a loss in the consolidated statement of
income.

Financial Condition

Consolidated assets at March 31, 2012 totaled $1.254 billion, an increase of $38.2 million or 3.1% since
December 31, 2011.  The increase was principally due to a $58.5 million increase in interest-bearing
deposits at other financial institutions and a $6.1 million increase in loans, net of deferred fees and costs
and unearned income, offset in part by a $22.3 million decrease in the Corporation’s securities portfolio
and a $2.7 million decrease in other assets.

As noted above, total loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned income increased $6.1 million
or 0.8% from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012 as a $7.7 million increase in commercial loans
(including commercial mortgages) was offset by decreases in residential mortgages and total consumer
loans totaling $1.1 million and $568 thousand, respectively.  The increase in commercial loans reflects a
$8.4 million increase in commercial loans at the Corporation’s Capital Bank offices acquired in April of
last year, while the decrease in total consumer loans was due primarily to a $504 thousand decrease in
indirect consumer installment loans, a $283 thousand decrease in other installment loans and a $183
thousand decrease in home equity balances, offset in part by a $402 thousand increase in revolving
consumer credit.  During the first quarter of this year, approximately $2.3 million of newly originated
residential mortgages were sold in the secondary market to Freddie Mac, with an additional $212
thousand originated and sold to the State of New York Mortgage Agency.


The composition of the loan portfolio is summarized as follows:

The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $259.4 million at March 31, 2012, a
decrease of approximately $21.4 million or 7.6% from December 31, 2011. At amortized cost, the
available for sale portfolio decreased $21.6 million, with unrealized appreciation related to the available
for sale portfolio increasing $217 thousand.  The decrease was principally reflected in a $17.1 million
decrease in federal agency bonds, as during the quarter, approximately $27.2 million of federal agency
bonds were called or matured ($17.5 million of which occurred during the last three days of the quarter),
offset by the purchase of a $10.0 million bond.  The decrease in the available for sale portfolio at
amortized cost was additionally impacted by paydowns on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized
mortgage obligations totaling approximately $5.8 million and a $1.6 million decrease in municipal
bonds.  These decreases were partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in U.S. treasury bonds, as during
the quarter a $27.5 million purchase was offset by the sale of a $25.5 million bond.  The held to maturity
portion of the portfolio, consisting of local municipal obligations, decreased approximately $865
thousand from $8.3 million at December 31, 2011 to $7.4 million at March 31, 2012.

 
39

 

As noted above, interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions increased $58.5 million since
December 31, 2011.  This increase was principally due to the significant increase in deposits as
discussed below, along with the decrease in the securities portfolio, exceeding the growth in the loan
portfolio.  With total cash and due from banks totaling $110.5 million at March 31, 2012, the
Corporation continues to maintain a strong liquidity position and the Corporation continues to evaluate
alternative investment of these funds with caution given the low interest rate environment and the
inherent interest rate risk associated with longer term securities portfolio investments.

A $2.7 million decrease in other assets was due principally to a $2.4 million decrease in prepaid income
taxes.

Since December 31, 2011, total deposits have increased $40.2 million or 4.0% to $1.039 billion, with
public fund balances increasing $28.9 million and all other deposits increasing $11.3 million.  The
increase in public fund deposits was due principally to increases in insured money market account
(“IMMA”) and NOW account balances totaling $15.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, as well as a
$2.7 million increase in demand deposits and a $2.0 million increase in savings balances.  The increase
in all other period-end deposits reflects an $18.9 million increase in IMMA balances, as well as
increases in demand deposits and NOW accounts totaling $10.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively.  
These increases were partially offset by a $14.5 million decrease in total time deposits and a $9.1
million decrease in savings balances.  Both the decrease in savings balances and the increase in IMMA
accounts was impacted by an initiative to convert funds from the former Capital Bank tiered savings
accounts into the Capital Bank Privilege IMMA account.

A $2.1 million decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase reflects maturities during the
quarter, while a $2.5 million decrease in other liabilities was due in large part to the payment of escrowed
real estate taxes during the quarter, as well as the payment of previously accrued compensation and
benefits.

A $2.9 million increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in retained
earnings as well as a $295 thousand increase in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Asset Quality

Non-Performing Loans

The recorded investment in non-performing loans at March 31, 2012 totaled $15.137 million compared
to $20.915 million at year-end 2011, a decrease of $5.778 million.  Not included in the non-performing
loan totals are loans acquired in the FOFC acquisition which the Corporation has identified as purchased
credit impaired (“PCI”) loans totaling $12.120 million at March 31, 2012, which are accounted for under
separate accounting guidance, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 310-30,
“Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” as disclosed in
Note 9 of the financial statements.  The decrease in non-performing loans was due to decreases in non-
accrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due totaling $4.828 million and $1.010 million,
respectively, partially offset by a $60 thousand increase in accruing troubled debt restructurings
(“TDRs”).  The $4.828 million decrease in non-accrual loans was principally due to a $4.745 million
decrease in non-accrual commercial loans, as during the quarter non-accrual commercial loans to one
borrower were reduced $5.132 million from the receipt of funds under United States Department of
Agriculture (“USDA”) guarantees.  Other non-accrual commercial loans reported at December 31, 2011
were reduced by $220 thousand during the quarter.  These decreases were partially offset by the addition
of four commercial loans totaling $607 thousand to non-accrual status during the quarter.  Additionally,
during the quarter, non-accrual residential mortgages, home equity and consumer loans decreased $22
thousand, $38 thousand and $23 thousand, respectively.    It is generally the Corporation's policy that a
loan 90 days past due be placed in non-accrual status unless factors exist that would eliminate the need
to place a loan in this status.  A loan may also be designated as non-accrual at any time if payment of
principal or interest in full is not expected due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower.  
Loans remain in non-accrual status until the loans have been brought current and remain current for a
period of six months.  In the case of non-accrual loans where a portion of the loan has been charged off,
the remaining balance is kept in non-accrual status until the entire principal balance has been recovered.

Accruing loans 90 days or more past due totaled $6.294 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $7.304
million at year-end 2011, a decrease of $1.010 million.  This decrease was principally due to a $1.020
million decrease in construction loans not considered by management to be PCI loans acquired in the
FOFC acquisition totaling $6.275 million at March 31, 2012, which for a variety of reasons are 90 days
or more past their stated maturity dates, however the borrowers continue to make required interest
payments.  Additionally, these loans carry third party credit enhancements, and based upon the strength
of those credit enhancements, the Corporation has not identified these loans as PCI loans and expects to
incur no losses on these loans.

As noted above, accruing TDRs increased $60 thousand since December 31, 2011 as during the first
quarter, a home equity loan was restructured to extend the term and lower the monthly payments.  
Concessions made on commercial loan TDRs generally involve short term deferrals of principal
payments, while residential mortgage and home equity restructurings include interest rate and/or
payment reductions and maturity extensions.  Overall, our past experience in working with borrowers in
restructuring troubled debt has been favorable. TDRs are evaluated for impairment based upon the
present value of expected future cash flows with any changes recorded through the provision for loan
losses.

At March 31, 2012, OREO totaled $980 thousand compared to $898 thousand at December 31, 2011, an
increase of $82 thousand.  During the first quarter of 2012, two properties totaling $117 thousand were
placed in OREO and one property totaling $35 thousand was sold.  At March 31, 2012, OREO
properties consisted of six residential properties totaling $443 thousand, three commercial properties
totaling $319 thousand and undeveloped land totaling $218 thousand.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans, excluding residential real estate loans determined to be troubled debt restructurings, at
March 31, 2012 totaled $4.662 million compared to $9.879 million at December 31, 2011.  Not included
in the impaired loan totals are loans acquired in the FOFC acquisition which the Corporation has
identified as PCI loans as these loans are accounted for under ASC Subtopic 310-30 as noted under the
above discussion of non-performing loans.  The decrease of $5.217 million resulted principally from the
above-discussed decrease in non-accrual commercial loans.  Included in the impaired loan total at March
31, 2012 are loans totaling $3.839 million for which impairment allowances of $1.805 million have been
specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses.  As of December 31, 2011, the impaired loan total
included $6.093 million of loans for which specific impairment allowances of $1.942 thousand were
allocated to the allowance for loan losses.  The decrease in both the amount of impaired loans for which
specific allowances were allocated to the allowance for loan losses and the amount allocated were both
primarily driven by the above mentioned receipt of funds under USDA guarantees.  The majority of the
Corporation's impaired loans are secured and measured for impairment based on collateral evaluations.  
It is the Corporation's policy to obtain updated appraisals on loans secured by real estate at the time a
loan is determined to be impaired.  Prior to the receipt of the updated appraisal, an impairment
measurement is performed based upon the most recent appraisal on file to determine the amount of any
specific allocation or charge-off.  Upon receipt and review of the updated appraisal, an additional
measurement is performed to determine if any adjustments are necessary to reflect the proper
provisioning or charge-off.  Impaired loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis to determine if any
changes in credit quality or market conditions would require any additional allocation or recognition of
additional charge-offs.  If market conditions warrant, future appraisals are obtained.  Real estate values
in the Corporation's market area had not increased dramatically in the prior several years, and, as a
result, declines in real estate values have been modest.

The appraisals are performed by independent third parties and reflect the properties market value "as is".
In determining the amount of any specific allocation or charge-off, the Corporation will make
adjustments to reflect the estimated costs to sell the property. In situations where partial charge-offs
have been recognized, any balance remaining continues to be reflected as non-performing until the loan
has been paid in full.  Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the
borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s
historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s
expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.

In addition to non-performing loans, as of March 31, 2012, the Corporation has identified commercial
relationships totaling $8.1 million as potential problem loans, as compared to $8.2 million at December
31, 2011.  Potential problem loans are loans that are currently performing, but 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, which may result in the
disclosure of such loans as non-performing at some time in the future.  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 economic conditions may worsen or
other factors which 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 status,
be 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 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, current economic
conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay and, as of the first quarter of 2012, global and
national fiscal uncertainties, including the potential effects on our borrowers of any adverse resolution of
such uncertainties.

While we have seen improvement in the amount of non-performing and impaired loans as well as net
charge-offs, in light of the factors described above, including continuing uncertainty with respect to
national and global fiscal policy matters, the Corporation’s provision for loan losses on legacy loans
totaled $250 thousand in the first quarter of this year compared to $125 thousand in the corresponding
period last year.  Additionally, the Corporation recognized a provision of $227 thousand for impairment
charges related to certain PCI loans.

 
43

 

During the first quarter of this year, the Corporation recorded net recoveries of $23 thousand compared
to net charge-offs of $32 thousand during the first quarter of last year.  This improvement was
principally due to a $67 thousand decrease in net consumer loan charge-offs and a $17 thousand increase
in net commercial loan recoveries, partially offset by a $29 thousand increase in net residential mortgage
charge-offs. At March 31, 2012, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses on legacy loans totaled
$9.981 million, resulting in a coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans of 65.9%.  Included
in the non-performing loan totals are loans totaling $480 thousand for which previous partial charge-offs
have been recognized.  Excluding these loans, the coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans
was 68.1%.  This ratio as well as the ratio of allowance to total loans was impacted by the April 2011
Capital Bank acquisition, as current accounting rules do not allow the acquirer to transfer the acquiree’s
allowance for loan losses to the acquirer’s balance sheet.  Rather, the acquiree’s overall loan quality is a
component in determining the fair value of loans acquired, which are carried on the balance sheet at fair
value.  Excluding acquired loans reported above as non-performing loans totaling $7.543 million and
loans for which partial charge-offs have been recognized, the allowance to non-performing loan ratio
was 140.3%.  Excluding loans acquired in the Capital Bank acquisition, the allowance for loan losses on
legacy loans to total legacy loans was 1.48% and represents an amount that management believes is
adequate to absorb probable incurred loan losses on the Corporation’s legacy loan portfolio.

The allocated portions of the allowance reflect management's estimates of specific known risk elements
in the respective portfolios.  Management's methodology followed in evaluating the allowance for loan
losses includes a detailed analysis of historical loss factors for pools of similarly graded loans, as well as
specific collateral reviews of relationships graded special mention, substandard or doubtful with
outstanding balances of $1.0 million or greater. Among the factors considered in allocating portions of
the allowance by loan type are the current levels of past due, non-accrual and impaired loans, as well as
historical loss experience and the evaluation of collateral.  In addition, management has formally
documented factors considered in determining the appropriate level of general reserves, including
current economic conditions, forecasted trends in the credit quality cycle, loan growth, entry into new
markets, and industry and peer group trends.  These amounts have been included in the allocated portion
of the loan categories to which they relate.

At March 31, 2012, in addition to the qualitative factors allocated within the allowance, the Corporation
maintained $374 thousand of the allowance as unallocated.  While some preliminary improvements have
been seen in the local economy and while some loans have improved, the recovery is still very fragile
and management believes it is prudent to see a longer period of sustained improvement before
completely reflecting this in the allowance.  Additionally, management monitors coverage ratios of
nonperforming loans and total loans compared to peers on a regular basis.  This analysis also suggests
that it would not be prudent to eliminate the unallocated portion of the allowance at this time.

Results of Operations

First Quarter of 2012 vs. First Quarter of 2011

Net income for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $3.615 million, an increase of $1.950 million or 117.1%
as compared to first quarter 2011 net income of $1.665 million.  Earnings per share were up 69.6% from
$0.46 to $0.78 per share on 1,017,578 additional average shares outstanding primarily resulting from the
acquisition of Fort Orange Financial Corp. (“FOFC”) and its subsidiary bank, Capital Bank & Trust
Company (“Capital Bank”) in April 2011.  The significant increase was due in part to a $1.032 million
decrease in direct transaction costs related to the above acquisition, as well as the recognition of a $759
thousand casualty gain from flood insurance reimbursements in excess of the carrying amount of fixed
assets lost in the September 2011 flooding of our Owego and Tioga offices.  We also attribute the
increase in net income to the Capital Bank acquisition, particularly due to the increase in net interest
income.

Net interest income compared to the first quarter of 2011 increased $3.470 million or 40.6% to $12.016
million, with the net interest margin increasing 44 basis points to 4.28%.  A portion of the increase in
both net interest income and net interest margin compared to the prior year comparable period was the
result of collections on certain purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans in excess of expectations totaling
$482 thousand which are recorded as interest income.  This had a positive affect on both the yield on
average earning assets and net interest margin of 17 basis points.  We attribute the balance of the
increase in net interest income principally to the Capital Bank acquisition which had a significant impact
on a $224.8 million or 24.9% increase in average earning assets, as well as a 25 basis point decrease in
the cost of average interest bearing liabilities.  The $224.8 million increase in average earning assets
included a $181.3 million increase in average loans, with Capital Bank loans averaging $189.3 million
during the quarter, and a $60.8 million increase in the average investment portfolio, including average
investments at Capital Bank totaling $38.3 million.  These increases were offset in part by a $17.3
million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions.  While average
earning assets increased 24.9%, total interest and dividend income increased 33.0% or $3.361 million
with the yield on average earning assets increasing 26 basis points to 4.83%.

Total average funding liabilities, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, as compared to the first
quarter of last year, increased $223.3 million or 25.5% to $1.099 billion as average deposits and borrowings
increased $207.2 million and $16.1 million, respectively.  In total, average non-interest bearing deposits
increased $57.2 million, with Capital Bank non-interest bearing deposits comprising $26.4 million of that
increase. Average interest bearing deposits increased $150.0 million, including $141.9 million in Capital
Bank average interest bearing deposits.  The increase in average interest bearing deposits was reflected
principally in a $64.8 million increase in average savings account balances, as well as increases in average
IMMA and NOW accounts totaling $42.0 million and $27.7 million, respectively, and a $15.5 million
increase in average time deposits.  The increase in average borrowings was due principally to an increase in
borrowings assumed by the Corporation in the Capital Bank acquisition.  While average interest bearing
liabilities increased $166.1 million, or 24.9%, interest expense decreased $109 thousand or 6.7%, as the cost
of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 25 basis points to 0.74%.

The provision for loan loss expense in the first quarter of this year totaled $477 thousand compared to
$125 thousand in the first quarter of last year, an increase of $352 thousand.  The first quarter 2012
provision includes $227 thousand of impairment charges related to certain PCI loans.  As discussed
under the Asset Quality section of this report, the balance of the increase in the provision for loan losses
reflects in large part management’s concerns about global and national fiscal uncertainties and the affect
that these uncertainties could have on the economy and our borrowers in particular, as well as
management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of other
factors, including an analysis of historical loss factors, the evaluation of collateral, recent charge-off
experience, overall credit quality, current economic conditions and loan growth.

Non-interest income during the first quarter of 2012 increased $549 thousand or 12.6% compared to the
first quarter of last year due principally to the above mentioned casualty gain on flood insurance
reimbursements, a $160 thousand increase in Wealth Management Group fee income, a $104 thousand
increase in gains on the sale of securities and a $53 thousand increase in check card interchange fee
income.  These increases were offset in part primarily by a $536 thousand decrease in revenue from the
Corporation’s equity investment in Cephas Capital Partners, L.P. due in large part to a gain recognized
during the first quarter of last year on the exercise of stock warrants held in one of their investments.

First quarter 2012 operating expenses were $479 thousand or 4.6% higher than the comparable period
last year.  Excluding the aforementioned decrease in direct transaction costs associated with the Capital
Bank acquisition, all other operating expenses increased $1.510 million or 16.1%, with approximately
$1.196 million of this increase related to the operations of the acquired offices.  The overall increase,
excluding direct transaction costs, was due in large part to increases in salaries and employee benefits
totaling $569 thousand and $247 thousand, respectively.  Other significant increases included a $216
thousand increase in data processing costs, a $121 thousand increase in net occupancy costs, a $112
thousand increase in loan and OREO expenses, a $108 thousand increase in amortization of intangible
assets and a $77 thousand increase in marketing and advertising expenses.  The increase in salaries
reflects additional staff related to the Capital Bank offices as well as merit increases over the past year,
while the increase in employee benefits was due principally to increases in pension expense, health
insurance and payroll taxes.  Increases in net occupancy costs, amortization of intangible assets and
marketing and advertising expenses all reflect in large part higher costs related to the operations of the
Capital Bank offices.  The increase in data processing expense was due principally to higher data
communication line charges, as well as increases in hardware and software maintenance, while the
increase in loan and OREO expense was due in large part to higher collection costs and OREO
expenses.

A $1.239 million increase in income tax expense reflects a $3.188 million increase in pre-tax income,
and an increase in the effective tax rate from 28.4% to 34.4% due principally to a decrease in the relative
percentage of tax exempt income to pre-tax income.

The following table demonstrates the impact on net interest income of the changes in the volume of
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in rates earned and paid by the Corporation.  
For purposes of constructing this table, average investment securities are at average amortized cost and
earning asset averages include non-performing loans.  Therefore, the impact of changing levels of non-
performing loans is reflected in the change due to rate, but does not affect changes due to volume.  No
tax equivalent adjustments were made.

The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the
relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

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.  Based on
available collateral and current advances outstanding, the Corporation was eligible to borrow up to a
total of $76.0 million and $85.5 million at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

During the first three months of 2012, cash and cash equivalents increased $57.6 million as compared to
an increase of $17.4 million during the first three months of last year.  In addition to cash provided by
operating activities, major sources of cash during the first quarter of 2012 included proceeds from sales,
maturities, calls and principal reductions on securities totaling $60.6 million and a $40.2 million
increase in deposits.  Proceeds from the above were used primarily to fund purchases of securities
totaling $38.2 million, a $5.7 million increase in loans, a net decrease in securities sold under
agreements to repurchase totaling $2.1 million, the payment of cash dividends in the amount of $1.1
million and purchases of fixed assets and treasury stock totaling $955 thousand and $217 thousand,
respectively.

In addition to cash provided by operating activities, major sources of cash during the first quarter of
2011 included proceeds from sales, maturities, calls and principal reductions on securities totaling $58.7
million, a $31.9 million increase in deposits and a $1.1 million decrease in loans.  Proceeds from the
above were used primarily to fund purchases of securities totaling $71.4 million, a net decrease in
securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaling $2.9 million and the payment of cash dividends
in the amount of $881 thousand.

As of March 31, 2012, the Bank’s leverage ratio was 8.21%.  The Tier I and Total Risk Adjusted Capital
ratios were 11.71% and 13.25%, 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
Department of Financial Services.

During the first quarter of 2012 the Corporation declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share, unchanged
from the dividend declared during the first quarter of 2011.

When shares of the Corporation become available in the market, the Corporation may purchase them after
careful consideration of our capital position.  On November 16, 2011, the Corporation’s Board of Directors
approved a one year extension of the stock repurchase program that had been initially approved on
November 18, 2009 and extended for one year on November 17, 2010.  The extension authorizes the
purchase of up to 90,000 shares of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock, including those shares
purchased during the first two years of the plan.  Purchases may be made from time to time on the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management.  Through March 31, 2012, a
total of 51,898 shares had been purchased under this program.  During the first quarter of 2012, the
Corporation purchased 8,654 shares at a cost of $217 thousand or an average of $25.05 per share.  During
the first quarter of 2012, 14,770 shares were re-issued from treasury to fund the stock component of
directors’ 2011 compensation, an unrestricted stock grant to an executive officer and a restricted stock grant
to an executive officer.

Interest Rate Risk

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 & chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the asset liability management
officer, and other officers 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 March 31, 2012, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point
decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 9.69% and
an immediate 200-basis point increase would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income
by 2.19%.  Both are within the Corporation's policy guideline of 15% established by ALCO. Given the
overall low level of current interest rates and the unlikely event of a 200-basis point decline from this
point, management additionally modeled an immediate 100-basis point decline and an immediate 300-
basis point increase in interest rates. When applied, it is estimated these scenarios would result in
negative impacts to net interest income of 4.45% and 3.32%, respectively.  Management is comfortable
with the level of exposures at these levels.

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 March 31, 2012, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would
negatively impact the market value of our capital account by 10.03% and an immediate 200-basis point
increase in interest rates would positively impact the market value by 0.58%.  Both are within the
established tolerance limit of 15%.  Management also modeled the impact to the market value of our
capital with an immediate 100-basis point decline and an immediate 300-basis point increase in interest
rates, based on the current interest rate environment.  When applied, it is estimated these scenarios
would result in negative impacts to the market value of our capital of 7.00% and 0.81%, respectively.
Management is also comfortable with the level of exposures at these levels.

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
three months of 2012.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In May, 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and
disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles.  Overall, the guidance is
consistent with existing U.S. accounting principles; however, there are some amendments that change a
particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value
measurements.  The amendments in this guidance are effective for interim and annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2011.  The effect of adopting this standard did not have a material effect
on the Corporation’s operating results or financial condition, but the additional disclosures are included
in Note 4.

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components
of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The
amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or
in two separate consecutive statements.  The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the
beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15,
2011.  In connection with the adoption of this amendment, the Corporation changed the presentation of
the statement of comprehensive income for the Corporation to two consecutive statements instead of
presenting it as part of the consolidated statements of shareholder’s equity.
