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, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in the Corporation's 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2010. 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 2009 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. 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 Share


Earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by 3,606,448 and 3,596,690 weighted average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.



3.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance that establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. The Corporation adopted this guidance on January 1, 2009. The new guidance was applied to the Canton Bancorp, Inc. ("Canton") acquisition, resulting in the recognition of acquisition costs of $1.448 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.


In April 2009, the FASB amended existing guidance for determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary for debt securities. The guidance requires an entity to assess 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 as impairment through earnings. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to

-5-

other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. Additionally, disclosures about other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities were expanded. The Corporation elected to adopt this guidance as of April 1, 2009. At adoption, the Corporation reversed $402 thousand (pre-tax) of previously recognized impairment charges, representing the non-credit portion.


In June 2009, the FASB amended previous guidance relating to transfers of financial assets and eliminated the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. This guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on and after the effective date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. The disclosure provisions were also amended and apply to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The effect of adopting this new guidance was not material.


In June 2009, the FASB amended guidance for consolidation of variable interest entity guidance by replacing the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additional disclosures about an enterprise's involvement in variable interest entities are also required. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Early adoption is prohibited. The effect of adopting this new guidance was not material.




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 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 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).

-6-

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 decline in the level of observable inputs and market activity in this class of investments beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 and continuing through to the measurement date 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 deterimining 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.


The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals and collateral evaluations. The 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 appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.


Non-recurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned ("OREO") are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

(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 judgement and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

-9-


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


Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and due from financial institutions, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. The methods for determining the fair values for securities were described previously. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.

7. 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.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment


In determining OTTI for debt securities, management considers many factors, including: (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, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Corporation has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.


In order to determine OTTI for purchased beneficial interests, the Corporation compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected remaining cash flows. OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.

-13-

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 it is more likely than not it 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 it is more likely than not it 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, 2010, 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.


Our analysis of these investments includes $856 thousand book value of collateralized debt obligations ("CDO's") consisting of pooled trust preferred securities. These securities were rated high quality at inception, but at March 31, 2010 Moody's rated these securities both 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 the 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. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and prepayments. We assume no recoveries on defaults and treat all interest payment deferrals as defaults.


In determining the amount of "currently performing" collateral for the purposes of modeling the expected future cash flows, management analyzed the default and deferral history over the past 18 months in both of the securities held. This review indicated significant increases in the number and amount of defaults and deferrals by the issuers. Additionally, management has noted the correlation between the rising levels of non-performing loans as a percent of tangible equity plus loan loss reserves, by those issuers that have defaulted and/or deferred interest payments. Therefore management has used this ratio as a primary indicator to project the levels of future defaults for modeling purposes. Management expects the trend of higher default and deferral levels to continue over the next 12 to 24 months as it is widely predicted by experts in the industry that the level of bank failures in 2010 will most probably exceed the 140 bank failures reported in 2009, potentially negatively impacting the future cash flows of these securities. Forty-one depository institutions were closed by regulators during the first quarter 2010.

-14-


The following table provides detailed information related to the pooled trust preferred securities held as of March 31, 2010:

Description

Actual Deferrals as % of Outstanding Collateral

Actual Defaults as % of Original Collateral

Excess Subordination as % of Performing Collateral

Expected Additional Defaults as % of Performing Collateral

TPREF Funding II, Ltd. (Class B)

15.14%

13.51%

-32.73%

24.33%


In the table above, "Excess Subordination as % of Performing Collateral" was calculated by dividing the difference between the total face value of performing collateral less the face value of all outstanding note balances not subordinate to our investment, by the total face value of performing collateral. This ratio measures the extent to which there may be tranches within each pooled trust preferred structure available to absorb credit losses before the Corporation's securities would be impacted. As mentioned earlier, the levels of defaults and deferrals in these pools have increased significantly in recent months, which have resulted in a significant reduction in the amount of performing collateral. As a result, the negative Excess Subordination as a % of Performing Collateral percentages shown above indicate there is no support from subordinate tranches available to absorb losses before the Corporation's securities would be impacted. A negative ratio is not the only factor to consider when determining if an OTTI should be recorded. Other factors affect the timing and amount of cash flows available for payments to investors such as the excess interest paid by the issuers, as issuers typically pay higher rates of interest than are paid out to investors.


Upon completion of the March 31, 2010 analysis, our model indicated other-than-temporary impairment on both of these securities, since both experienced additional defaults or deferrals of underlying issuers during the period. For the period ended March 31, 2010, OTTI losses recognized in earnings totaled $261 thousand. Both of these securities remained classified as available for sale and represented $487 thousand of the unrealized losses reported at March 31, 2010. Both securities continue to accrue interest and payments continue to be made as agreed.


When the analysis of these securities was conducted at March 31, 2010, 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. This analysis indicated a further decline in value attributed to credit related factors stemming from further deterioration in the underlying collateral payment streams. Therefore the amount of this decline in fair value or OTTI was recorded in earnings. Additionally, 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 securities based on current market conditions and interest rates. This comparison indicated an increase in value from the previous quarter based on factors other than credit which resulted in a gain reported in other comprehensive income. This result is consistent with the fact that some improvement has been noted recently in the credit markets related to overall corporate and financial institution credit spreads. Therefore, while the credit quality related to these securities declined during the quarter, the change in value related to other factors actually improved and partially offset the decline in credit quality when assessing the overall fair value of the impaired securities. This explains how 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 resulted in a gain reported in other comprehensive income.

On April 21, 2010 the Corporation's Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Corporation's Defined Benefit Pension Plan. Under the amendment, which is expected to become effective on July 1, 2010, no new employees hired on or after the effective date will be eligible to participate in the plan, however, existing participants at that time will continue to accrue benefits. While the Corporation expects that there will be no immediate material impact on the results of operations or financial condition, as time goes on it is anticipated that the amendment will result in a decrease in the future benefit obligations of the plan and the corresponding net periodic benefit cost associated with the plan.



11. 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.

-17-


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 Operation
s


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, 2010, with comparisons to the comparable period in 2009, 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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2010. 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

-18-

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 at that time. 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 considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent 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. In April 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance which amended existing guidance for determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary for debt securities. The guidance requires an entity to assess 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. Our analysis of these investments includes $856 thousand book value of collateralized debt obligations ("CDO's") consisting of pooled trust preferred securities. These securities were rated high quality when purchased, but at March 31, 2010 Moody's rated these securities both 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 the 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

-19-

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. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and prepayments. We assume no recoveries on defaults and treat all interest payment deferrals as defaults. Additional default assumptions were made based on credit quality ratios and performance measures of the remaining financial institutions in the pools, as well as overall default rates based on historical bank debt default rate averages. Upon completion of the March 31, 2010 analysis, our model indicated other-than-temporary impairment on both of these securities, since both experienced additional defaults or deferrals of underlying issuers during the period. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, OTTI losses recognized in earnings totaled $261 thousand. Both of these securities remained classified as available for sale and represented $487 thousand of the unrealized losses reported at March 31, 2010. Both securities continue to accrue interest and payments continue to be made as agreed.


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, 2010 totaled $1.0 billion, an increase of $32.1 million or 3.3% since December 31, 2009. The increase was due in large part to a $34.2 million increase in the Corporation's securities portfolio, as well as an $8.0 million increase in total cash and cash equivalents, which was somewhat offset primarily by a $9.4 million decrease in loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned income.


As noted above, total loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned income decreased $9.4 million or 1.6% from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 due principally to soft loan demand. Total consumer loans were down $4.1 million, primarily due to decreases in consumer installment loan and home equity balances totaling $3.1 million and $745 thousand, respectively. Additionally, during the quarter, residential mortgages and commercial loans (including commercial mortgages) decreased $3.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. During the quarter, approximately $1.9 million of newly originated residential mortgages were sold in the secondary market to Freddie Mac.

The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $267.3 million at March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $36.3 million or 15.7% from December 31, 2009. At amortized cost, the available for sale portfolio increased $35.1 million, with unrealized appreciation related to the available for sale portfolio increasing $1.2 million. U.S. Treasury bonds were up $34.9 million reflecting purchases during the quarter. Additionally, federal agency bonds increased $7.0 million as purchases during the quarter totaling $30.3 million were partially offset by maturities and calls. These increases were offset to some extent principally by

-20-

mortgage-backed securities paydowns totaling $6.5 million, corporate bond maturities of $200 thousand, and OTTI write-downs of trust preferred securities pools totaling $261 thousand. The increase in unrealized appreciation related to the available for sale portfolio was due in large part to spreads on agency bonds, mortgage-backed and trust preferred securities continuing to tighten during the quarter, as credit markets continued to improve. The change was also impacted by an increase in unrealized gains in the Corporation's equity portfolio since year-end 2009. The held to maturity portion of the portfolio, consisting of local municipal obligations, decreased approximately $2.1 million from $12.2 million at December 31, 2009 to $10.1 million at March 31, 2010.


With funds from an increase in deposits as discussed below, and from the reduction in loans noted above exceeding the growth in the securities portfolio, cash and cash equivalents were up $8.0 million, with interest bearing deposits at other financial institutions increasing $8.2 million. The vast majority of these interest bearing deposits are held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. We continue to evaluate alternative investment opportunities with caution given the current low interest rate environment and the inherent interest rate risk associated with longer term securities portfolio investments.


Since December 31, 2009, total deposits have increased $32.1 million or 4.0% to $833.1 million, with public fund balances increasing $30.3 million and all other deposits increasing $1.8 million. The increase in public fund accounts was primarily due to a $24.0 million increase in insured money market account ("IMMA") balances, a $2.3 million increase in NOW account balances, and increases in savings and time deposits of $1.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The increase in other deposits was principally due to a $3.8 million increase in IMMA balances, a $3.7 million increase in savings accounts and a $2.9 million increase in NOW accounts, with these increases offset by decreases in other period-end time deposits and demand deposits totaling $4.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively.


A $2.7 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.


Asset Quality


Non-Performing Loans


Non-performing loans at March 31, 2010 totaled $11.633 million compared to $13.804 million at year-end 2009, a decrease of $2.171 million. This decrease was principally due to a $1.796 million decrease in accruing troubled debt restructurings ("TDR's"), as well as a $376 thousand decrease in accruing loans 90 days or more past due. Total non-accrual loans were virtually unchanged from December 31, 2009. The decrease in TDR's was principally due to the reclassification of a $2.010 million commercial loan to performing status during the quarter, somewhat offset by a $268 thousand increase in residential mortgage TDR's. Included in the total TDR's at March 31, 2010 are commercial loans totaling $4.768 million and residential mortgages totaling $813 thousand, compared to commercial loan and residential mortgage totals of $6.832 million and $545 thousand, respectively, at December 31, 2009. The only concessions made on commercial loan TDR's involve short term deferrals of principal payments, while residential mortgage restructurings include interest rate and/or payment reductions. Our experience to date in the restructuring of troubled debt has been favorable. Included in the commercial loan TDR total are loans to one borrower totaling $4.300 million which carry guarantees of the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") in the amount of $3.440 million, thereby reducing the Corporation's exposure on those loans to $860 thousand. TDR's are evaluated for impairment based upon the present value of expected future cash flows, with any changes recorded through the provision for loan losses. It is generally the Corporation's policy that TDR's that have continued to be in compliance with modified terms and conditions for six months and yield a market rate at the time of restructuring not be reported as TDR's in years subsequent to the year in which the loan was first reported as TDR.


As noted above, accruing loans 90 days or more past due decreased $376 thousand. During 2009, it was the Corporation's policy that commercial loans 90 days past due, and consumer loans and residential mortgages 120 days past due, be placed in non-accrual status unless factors existed 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

-21-

financial condition of the borrower. This policy was amended during the first quarter of 2010 such that consumer loans and mortgages would be placed in non-accrual status at 90 days past due as opposed to the prior policy of 120 days, which contributed to decreases in accruing mortgages and consumer loans 90 days or more past due totaling $218 thousand and $158 thousand, respectively. As mentioned above, total non-accruing loans were virtually unchanged from the year-end 2009 total as increases in commercial and consumer non-accrual loans of $215 thousand and $115 thousand, respectively, were offset by a $330 thousand decrease in non-accrual residential mortgages. Included in non-accrual commercial loans is one TDR totaling $207 thousand. The decrease in non-accrual residential mortgages was principally due to the transfer of approximately $437 thousand to Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") following foreclosure proceedings on these properties. It is the Corporation's policy that 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.


At March 31, 2010, OREO totaled $1.094 million compared to $649 thousand at December 31, 2009, an increase of $445 thousand, as during the quarter three properties were placed in OREO. At March 31, 2010 OREO properties consist of six residential properties totaling $564 thousand, three commercial properties totaling $236 thousand and undeveloped land totaling $294 thousand.


Impaired Loans


Impaired loans at March 31, 2010 totaled $8.245 million compared to $10.093 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease of $1.848 million was due to the above mentioned reclassification during the quarter of a $2.010 million loan from TDR to performing status. Included in the impaired loan total are loans totaling $3.002 million for which impairment allowances of $750 thousand have been specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2009, the impaired loan total included $3.358 million for which specific impairment allowances of $845 thousand were allocated to the allowance for loan losses. 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. In the case of impaired loans secured by assets other than real estate (i.e. business assets), a collateral valuation is performed using data from the client's most recently received financial statements, and applying discount rates based upon the type of collateral.

In addition to non-performing loans, as of March 31, 2010, the Corporation has identified commercial relationships totaling $15.2 million as potential problem loans, as compared to $14.9 million at December 31, 2009. 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 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, become restructured, or require increased allowance coverage and provisions for loan losses.


Included in the Corporation's investment portfolio at March 31, 2010 are two collateralized debt obligations consisting of pools of trust preferred securities issued by other financial institutions. While we continue to receive all contractual payments on these securities, given the continued weakness in the economy, and the financial services sector in particular, there can be no assurance that these securities will not become non-performing at some future date.


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 and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. Based upon an analysis of these factors, as well as a decrease in net charge-offs, the provision for loan losses was reduced from $425 thousand in the first quarter of 2009 to $375 thousand in the first quarter of this year. Net charge-offs as compared to the first quarter of 2009 were down $215 thousand. The decrease in net charge offs was principally due to a $152 thousand decrease in net consumer loan charge-offs, and an $85 thousand increase in net recoveries on commercial loans, partially offset by a $22 thousand increase in residential mortgage charge-offs. The decrease in net consumer loan charge-offs was principally due to a $154 thousand decrease in installment loan net charge-offs. At March 31, 2010, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses totaled $10.164 million, resulting in a coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans of 87.4%. As noted above, included in non-performing loans at March 31, 2010 was a TDR totaling $4.300 million which carried USDA guarantees totaling $3.440 million. Also included in the non-performing loan totals are loans with remaining balances totaling $1.069 million on which the Corporation has recognized partial charge-offs in the amount of $905 thousand. Excluding the USDA guaranteed amount and loans for which partial charge-offs have already been recognized from the non-performing total, the coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans was 142.7%. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.73% at March 31, 2010, and represents an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred loan losses on existing loans

Results of Operations

First Quarter of 2010 vs. First Quarter of 2009


Net income for the first quarter of 2010 totaled $2.000 million, an increase of $266 thousand as compared to first quarter 2009 net income of $1.734 million. Earnings per share increased 14.6% from $0.48 per share to $0.55 per share. As discussed in more detail below, this improvement in first quarter net income was principally due to an increase in net interest income and a reduction in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in operating expenses and income tax expense, as well as a decrease in non-interest income.


Net interest income increased $820 thousand or 10.7% from $7.692 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $8.512 million in the first quarter of this year, while the net interest margin decreased 10 basis points to 3.83%. The improvement in net interest income resulted from an increase in average earning assets and a 61 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, offset to some extent by a 55 basis point decrease in the average yield on earning assets. A $107.4 million or 13.5% increase in average earning assets reflects a $43.2 million increase in average securities, a $37.6 million increase in average fed funds sold and interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions and a $26.6 million increase in average loans. Average loans and securities during the first quarter of this year associated with the Corporation's purchase of Canton Bancorp, Inc. ("Canton") in May of 2009 totaled $50.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively. While on average, earning assets increased 13.5%, total interest and dividend income increased $213 thousand or 2.0%, as the average yield on earning assets decreased 55 basis points to 4.89%.


Total average funding liabilities, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, increased $115.2 million or 14.9% from $772.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $887.3 million during the first quarter of this year as a $125.6 million increase in average deposits was partially offset by a $10.4 million decrease in average other borrowed funds. Approximately $71.5 million of the increase in average deposits was related to the Canton acquisition. In total, average non-interest bearing deposits increased $25.3 million, while average interest-bearing deposits increased $100.3 million. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was reflected primarily in higher average insured money market and time deposits of $52.7 million and $24.8 million, respectively. Additionally, average savings and NOW account balances increased $16.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The decrease in average

-24-

other borrowings was principally due to a $10.3 million decrease in average securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While average interest-bearing liabilities increased $89.9 million or 14.8%, interest expense decreased $607 thousand or 20.5%, as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 61 basis points from 1.98% to 1.37%.


As discussed under the Asset Quality section of this report, a $50 thousand decrease in the provision for loan losses was principally due to a decrease in net charge-off's, as well as 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, current economic conditions and loan growth.


Non-interest income during the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 decreased $226 thousand or 5.4% due primarily to a $547 thousand decrease in gains on the sale of securities, as during the first quarter of last year the Corporation sold a U.S. treasury bond and recognized a gain on that transaction of $547 thousand. The decrease in non-interest income was also affected by a $105 thousand increase in OTTI charges on two collateralized debt obligations consisting of trust preferred securities pools issued by other financial institutions. While we continue to receive all contractual payments on these investments, OTTI charges totaling $261 thousand in the first quarter of this year reflect deterioration in the credit quality of these investments based on cash flow evaluations that take into account several factors, including the level of defaults and deferrals by the issuers of the underlying securities, downgrades by rating agencies and weakness in the U.S. economy, and the financial services sector in particular. Excluding the above items, all other non-interest income increased $426 thousand or 11.1%, principally due to increases in Trust and Investment Center fee income and check card interchange fees of $317 thousand and $163 thousand, respectively. The increase in Trust and Investment Center fee income was due in large part to the improvement in the equities markets over the past year. Other increases included a $76 thousand increase in service charges and a $45 thousand increase in revenue at CFS Group, Inc. These increases were somewhat offset primarily by a $75 thousand decrease in cash management fee income and a $36 thousand decrease in gains on the sale of newly originated mortgages held for sale.


First quarter 2010 operating expenses were $260 thousand or 2.9% higher than the comparable period last year. This increase was principally due to a $360 thousand increase in salaries, a $103 thousand increase in data processing costs and a $70 thousand increase in FDIC insurance. The increase in salaries was primarily due to merit increases over the past year and the addition to staff resulting from the Corporation's acquisition of Canton in May of 2009, while the increase in data processing costs includes higher Trust and Investment Center and check card processing costs. The increase in FDIC insurance was due in large part to the increase in the level of deposits over the past year. These increases were offset to some extent principally by a $120 thousand decrease in employee benefit costs and a $104 thousand decrease in amortization of intangible assets. The decrease in employee benefits was principally due to decreases in defined benefit pension expense and health insurance costs of $159 thousand and $56 thousand, respectively, with the reduction in the defined benefit pension expense impacted to a great extent by the improved market conditions during 2009 and the corresponding increase in market value of plan assets, while the reduction in health insurance expense reflects a reduction in claims under the Corporation's self-insured plan. The decrease in amortization expense was principally due to the fact that the core deposit intangible associated with the Corporation's purchase of three offices from the Resolution Trust Corporation in June of 1994 was fully amortized during the second quarter of 2009. In addition to the above, furniture and equipment expenses were down $47 thousand due in large part to lower equipment depreciation expense.


A $118 thousand increase in income tax expense was principally due to the $384 thousand increase in pre-tax income, with the effective tax rate of 30.7% unchanged from the first quarter of 2009.

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 March 31, 2010, the Corporation maintained a $175.8 million line of credit with the FHLB, as compared to $165.7 million at March 31, 2009.


During the first three months of 2010, cash and cash equivalents increased $8.0 million as compared to an increase of $52.5 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 2010 included proceeds from maturities, calls and principal reductions on securities totaling $34.0 million, a $32.1 million increase in deposits, a $9.6 million decrease in loans and a $687 thousand increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Proceeds from the above were used primarily to fund purchases of securities totaling $67.4 million, the payment of cash dividends in the amount of $880 thousand and purchases of fixed assets and treasury stock totaling $254 thousand and $133 thousand, respectively.


In addition to cash provided by operating activities, major sources of cash during the first quarter of 2009 included a $46.8 million increase in deposits, proceeds from sales, maturities and principal reductions on securities totaling $22.6 million, a net decrease in loans of $9.2 million and a $2.0 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Proceeds from the above were used principally to fund purchases of securities totaling $24.0 million, the payment of cash dividends in the amount of $875 thousand and the purchase of fixed assets totaling $671 thousand.


As of March 31, 2010, the Corporation's consolidated leverage ratio was 7.94%. The Tier I and Total Risk Adjusted Capital ratios were 12.06% and 13.69%, 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.

When shares of the Corporation become available in the market, we may purchase them after careful consideration of our capital position. On November 18, 2009, the Corporation's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 90,000 shares over a one year period, either through open market or privately negotiated transactions. During the first three months of 2010, the Corporation purchased 6,287 shares at an average price of $21.17 per share. As of March 31, 2010, a total of 6,758 shares had been purchased since the inception of the announced repurchase program. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2010, 12,832 shares were re-issued from treasury to fund the stock component of directors' 2009 compensation, as well as the stock component of an executive officer's 2009 bonus.


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, 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 March 31, 2010, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 10.35% and an immediate 200-basis point increase would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 3.00%. Both are within the Corporation's policy guideline of 15% established by the 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 5.02% and 4.33% 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, 2010, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the market value of our capital account by 9.84% and an immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would negatively impact the market value by 4.83%. 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 5.20% and 8.32% 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 quarter of 2010.
