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 September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 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 3,604,502 and 3,601,765 weighted average shares outstanding for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and 3,602,277 and 3,605,698 weighted average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended September 30, 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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 or 2009.



3.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements


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 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

5

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 the consolidation of a variable interest entity 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. 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 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 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.


6

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 third party 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.



Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

(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.


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.

6. Comprehensive Income


Comprehensive income or loss of the Corporation represents net income plus other comprehensive income or loss, which consists of the net change in unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale and the change in the funded status of the Corporation's defined benefit pension plan and other benefit plans, net of the related tax effect. Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss represents the net unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale and the funded status of the Corporation's defined benefit pension plan and other benefit plans, as of the consolidated balance sheet dates, net of the related tax effect.


Comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 was $3,393,701 and $9,919,485, respectively. Comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $4,039,915 and $6,166,987, respectively.

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.


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 September 30, 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 $723 thousand book value of

13

collateralized debt obligations ("CDO's") consisting of pooled trust preferred securities. These securities were rated high quality at inception, but at September 30, 2010 Moody's rated these securities 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 2 years 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 the current pace of failures in 2010 exceeds that of 2009 when 140 banks failed. One hundred twenty nine depository institutions were closed by regulators during the first nine months of 2010. Additional bank failures have the potential to negatively impact the future cash flows of these securities.


The following table provides detailed information related to the pooled trust preferred securities held as of September 30, 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

MM Community Funding IX, Ltd. (Class B-2)

30.23%

15.01%

-60.34%

21.99%

         

TPREF Funding II, Ltd. (Class B)

19.10%

14.24%

-41.11%

17.40%


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 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 September 30, 2010 analysis, our model indicated additional other-than-temporary impairment on one of these securities, since the security experienced additional defaults or deferrals of underlying issuers during the period. For the period ended September 30, 2010, OTTI losses recognized in earnings totaled $56 thousand for the third quarter of the year and $393 thousand year to date. Both of these securities remained classified as available for sale and represented $432 thousand of the unrealized losses reported at September 30, 2010. Both securities continue to accrue interest and payments continue to be made as agreed.

14

When the analysis of these securities was conducted at September 30, 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 in the MM Community Funding IX Pool, 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 in the MM Community Funding IX Pool, 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 this security 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 became effective on July 1, 2010, new employees hired on or after the effective date will not 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, going forward 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.


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.

12. Stock Based Compensation


On June 16, 2010 the Corporation's Board of Directors approved the Corporation's Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan"), which became effective immediately. Pursuant to the Plan, the Corporation may make discretionary grants of restricted stock to officers other than the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer. 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. There have been no awards granted as of September 30, 2010 under this plan.



13. Subsequent Events


On October 14, 2010, the Corporation and Fort Orange Financial Corp. ("FOFC"), the holding company of Capital Bank & Trust Company based in Albany, New York, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which FOFC will be merged with and into the Corporation, with the Corporation as the surviving entity. Immediately following the merger, Capital Bank & Trust Company will be merged with and into Chemung Canal Trust Company. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Corporation will purchase all of the outstanding shares of FOFC in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $29.3 million based upon the Corporation's October 14, 2010 closing stock price. For each share of FOFC common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger, each shareholder of FOFC common stock shall have the right to elect to receive: (i) 0.3571 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of the Corporation's common stock, (ii) $7.50 in cash or (iii) a combination of the Corporation's common stock and cash. The elections above are subject to proration such that the aggregate deal consideration shall be paid in 75% common stock of the Corporation and 25% cash. The exchange ratio is subject to downward adjustment if the price of the Corporation's common stock rises to more than $25.20 per share and the merger consideration is also subject to possible downward adjustment based upon certain asset quality indicators of FOFC, as specified in the Agreement.


Consummation of the transaction, which is subject to approval of bank regulatory agencies and shareholders of both companies, is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2011, and management expects it will be immediately accretive to earnings, excluding direct transaction costs.


Founded in 1995, Capital Bank & Trust Company has approximately $271 million in assets, including a loan portfolio approximating $190 million, and deposits of nearly $210 million, and operates from five offices in the Capital District, including two in Albany, and one each in Clifton Park, Latham and Slingerlands.



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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, with comparisons to the comparable periods 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 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

19

interest rates, credit risk, difficulties in managing our growth, including those in connection with the completion of our pending acquisition of Fort Orange Financial Corporation and the integration of its business with ours, competition, changes in law or the regulatory environment, including the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and changes in general business and economic trends. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in this Form 10-Q as well as the Corporation's Form 10-K filed March 15, 2010. 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 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 $723 thousand book value of two collateralized debt obligations ("CDO's") consisting of pooled trust preferred securities. These securities were rated high quality when purchased, but at September 30, 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

20

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. 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 September 30, 2010 analysis, our model indicated additional other-than-temporary impairment on one of these securities. For the quarter and nine-months ended September 30, 2010, OTTI losses recognized in earnings totaled $56 thousand and $393 thousand, respectively. Both of these securities remained classified as available for sale and represented $432 thousand of the unrealized losses reported at September 30, 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 September 30, 2010 totaled $972.7 million, a decrease of $2.9 million or 0.3% since December 31, 2009. The decrease was due principally to decreases in cash and cash equivalents and loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned income, totaling $6.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively. These decreases were somewhat offset primarily by a $10.8 million increase in the Corporation's securities portfolio.


As noted above, total loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned income decreased $5.3 million or 0.9% from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010 due principally to somewhat soft loan demand, particularly in the area of residential mortgages, which have decreased $7.9 million over that period. This decrease was partially offset by increases in consumer loans and total commercial loans (including commercial mortgages) totaling $2.5 million and $66 thousand, respectively. The increase in consumer loans was primarily due to an increase in consumer installment loan balances of $3.1 million, offset principally by a $259 thousand decrease in student loans due to the Corporation having sold the remaining balance of its student loan portfolio during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. Additionally, credit card and consumer line of credit outstanding balances were down $164 thousand and $99 thousand, respectively. The increase in consumer installment loans was primarily due to an increase in the level of indirect automobile financing. During the first nine months of this year, approximately $5.5 million of newly originated residential mortgages were sold in the secondary market to Freddie Mac, with an additional $1.1 million originated and sold to the State of New York Mortgage Agency ("SONYMA").

The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $245.9 million at September 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $15.0 million or 6.5% from December 31,

21

2009. At amortized cost, the available for sale portfolio increased $10.7 million, with unrealized appreciation related to the available for sale portfolio increasing $4.3 million. At amortized cost, U.S. Treasury bonds increased $34.9 million, reflecting purchases during the year totaling $44.6 million, partially offset by the sale of a $9.7 million treasury bond. Additionally, municipal bonds carried in the available for sale portfolio increased $2.6 million. These increases were somewhat offset primarily by $22.0 million of paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, as well as decreases in federal agency and corporate bonds totaling $3.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The decrease in federal agency bonds resulted from calls and maturities during 2010 totaling $63.9 million, offset in part by agency bond purchases, while the decrease in corporate bonds reflects maturities of $700 thousand, as well as OTTI write-downs of trust preferred securities pools totaling $393 thousand. The increase in unrealized appreciation related to the available for sale portfolio was due in large part to the impact of a decrease in mid to long term market rates on the bond portfolio, somewhat offset by a decrease in the market value of the Corporation's equities portfolio. The held to maturity portion of the portfolio, consisting of local municipal obligations, decreased approximately $4.2 million from $12.2 million at December 31, 2009 to $8.0 million at September 30, 2010.


With the growth in the securities portfolio exceeding the reduction in loans and the increase in deposits, as discussed below, cash and cash equivalents were down $6.6 million, as a decrease in interest bearing deposits at other financial institutions of $7.7 million was partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in cash and due from financial institutions. The vast majority of the 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 $2.4 million or 0.3% to $803.5 million, with a $20.8 million increase in public fund balances partially offset by an $18.4 million decrease in all other period-end deposits. The increase in public fund accounts was primarily due to a $12.0 million increase in NOW account balances, as well as increases in insured money market account ("IMMA") balances and time deposits totaling $4.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The decrease in all other deposits was principally due to a $19.1 million decrease in time deposits, a $4.2 million decrease in demand deposits and a $1.3 million decrease in NOW accounts, partially offset by increases in savings and IMMA balances totaling $3.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively.


A $10.5 million decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase reflects the maturity of a $10.0 million advance during the second quarter of this year.


A $1.8 million decrease in other liabilities was due in large part to the payment of previously accrued income taxes, compensation, benefits and escrowed real estate taxes.


Asset Quality

Non-Performing Loans


Non-performing loans at September 30, 2010 totaled $11.159 million compared to $13.804 million at year-end 2009, a decrease of $2.645 million. This decrease was principally due to a $6.485 million decrease in accruing troubled debt restructurings ("TDR's"), as well as a $493 thousand decrease in accruing loans 90 days or more past due, partially offset by a $4.333 million increase in non-accrual loans. Both the decrease in accruing TDR's and the increase in non-accrual loans were principally due to the fact that commercial loans to one borrower totaling $6.310 million that had been accruing TDR's at December 31, 2009 were placed in non-accrual status during the second quarter of this year. During the third quarter, $970 thousand of loans to this borrower, for which the Corporation had previously established a specific allocation in the allowance for loan losses, were charged off. Additionally, during the third quarter, $79 thousand in principal payments were applied to these loans. Loans to this borrower carry guarantees of the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") totaling $4.847 million, thereby reducing the Corporation's remaining exposure on these loans to $414 thousand. With the exception of these loans, other accruing TDR's decreased $175 thousand, with other commercial loan and residential mortgage TDR's down $25 thousand and $150 thousand, respectively. 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. Despite the fact that the above mentioned USDA guaranteed loan was placed in non-accrual status during the second quarter, our past experience in working with borrowers in restructuring troubled debt has been favorable. 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

22

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, non-accrual loans increased $4.333 million, due to increases in non-accruing commercial and consumer loans totaling $4.392 million and $59 thousand, respectively, partially offset by a $118 thousand decrease in non-accruing residential mortgages. Excluding the aforementioned USDA guaranteed loans that were placed in non-accrual status during the second quarter, all other non-accrual commercial loans were down $1.918 million due principally to upgrades to accrual status and other principal reductions. 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 $510 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.


Accruing loans 90 days or more past due decreased $493 thousand due principally to lower consumer and residential mortgage delinquencies in this category totaling $285 thousand and $218 thousand, respectively. 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 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.


At September 30, 2010, OREO totaled $825 thousand compared to $649 thousand at December 31, 2009, an increase of $176 thousand, as during the first nine months of this year five properties totaling $554 thousand were placed in OREO, four properties totaling $220 thousand were sold, and three properties were written-down by $158 thousand following receipt of updated appraisals. At September 30, 2010 OREO properties consist of five residential properties totaling $512 thousand, two commercial properties totaling $95 thousand and undeveloped land totaling $218 thousand.


Impaired Loans


Impaired loans at September 30, 2010 totaled $8.150 million compared to $10.093 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease of $1.943 million was principally due to the above discussed decrease in commercial loan troubled debt restructurings of $6.335 million, which was partially offset by the $4.392 million increase in non-accruing commercial loans. Included in the impaired loan total are loans totaling $891 thousand for which impairment allowances of $360 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 decrease in both the loans for which impairment allowances have been specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses and the amount of specific allocations were largely related to the above discussed USDA guaranteed loans. 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

23

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 September 30, 2010, the Corporation has identified commercial relationships totaling $6.6 million as potential problem loans, as compared to $14.9 million at December 31, 2009. This decrease of $8.3 million resulted principally from upgrades of two relationships totaling $7.1 million following the receipt of financial information indicating improved operating results and financial condition of the borrowers, as well as the payoff of $853 thousand in loans to a borrower which had previously been identified as potential problem loans. 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 September 30, 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. During the third quarter of 2009, management expensed $1.275 million to the provision for loan losses due principally to increases in both non-performing and potential problem loans, as well as higher net consumer loan charge-offs. During the third quarter of 2010, the provision for loan losses as compared to the corresponding period in 2009 was reduced by $900 thousand to $375 thousand, with the year-to-date provision decreased $950 thousand from $2.075 million to $1.125 million. Both the quarterly and year-to-date reductions were based upon an evaluation of the above allowance for loan losses adequacy factors, including the above discussed reductions in both non-performing and potential problem loans and a decrease in specific allocations related to impaired loans. Net charge-offs as compared to the first nine months of 2009 were up $419 thousand. The increase in net charge offs was principally due to an $899 thousand increase in net commercial loan charge-offs, offset primarily by a $502 thousand decrease in net consumer loan charge-offs. The increase in commercial loan charge-offs included third quarter charge-offs related to two borrowers totaling $1.111 million, all of which had previously been specifically allocated against these loans. At September 30, 2010, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses totaled $9.660 million, resulting in a coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans of 86.6%. As noted above, included in non-performing loans at September 30, 2010 were loans totaling $5.261 million which

24

carried USDA guarantees totaling $4.847 million. Also included in the non-performing loan totals are other loans with remaining balances totaling $898 thousand on which the Corporation has recognized partial charge-offs in the amount of $905 thousand. Excluding the USDA guaranteed amount and other 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 178.4%. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.64% at September 30, 2010, and represents an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred loan losses on existing loans.

Results of Operations

Third Quarter of 2010 vs. Third Quarter of 2009


Net income for the third quarter of 2010 totaled $2.551 million as compared to third quarter 2009 net income of $1.516 million, an increase of $1.035 million, with earnings per share increasing 69.0% from $0.42 per share to $0.71 per share. This significant increase in third quarter net income was due in part to a $900 thousand decrease in the provision for loan losses. Other factors affecting the increase in third quarter net income compared with the corresponding period last year included increases in net interest income and non-interest income, as well as a reduction in operating expenses, partially offset by higher income taxes.


Net interest income of $8.681 million was $147 thousand or 1.7% higher than the third quarter of 2009, while the net interest margin declined 4 basis points to 3.78%. The increase in net interest income resulted from an increase in average earning assets and a 43 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds, offset to some extent by a 46 basis point decrease in the average yield on earning assets. A $25.0 million or 2.8% increase in average earning assets was due to a $41.0 million increase in average investment securities and a $3.6 million increase in average fed funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, somewhat offset by a $19.7 million decrease in average loans. While on average, earning assets increased 2.8%, total interest and dividend income was down $739 thousand or 6.5%, as the average yield on earning assets declined 46 basis points to 4.63%.


Total average funding liabilities, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, increased $22.8 million or 2.6% compared to third quarter 2009 averages, due to a $34.4 million increase in average deposits, offset by an $11.6 million decrease in other borrowed funds. In total, average non-interest bearing deposits increased $16.6 million, while average interest-bearing deposits increased $17.8 million. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was reflected primarily in higher average insured money market and savings deposits of $41.5 million and $7.8 million, respectively, as well as a $2.8 million increase in average NOW accounts. These increases were partially offset by a $34.2 million decrease in total time deposits. The decrease in average other borrowings was due to an $11.6 million decrease in average securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While total average funding sources increased 2.6%, interest expense decreased $886 thousand or 31.1%, as the average cost of funds decreased 43 basis points to 0.87%.


As noted above and discussed more fully under the "Asset Quality" section of this report,

25

the third quarter provision for loan losses of $375 thousand was $900 thousand lower than the third quarter of last year due in large part to decreases in non-performing and potential problem loans, as well as a decrease in specific allocations related to impaired loans, and reflects management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors, including an analysis of historical loss factors, the evaluation of collateral, recent charge-off experience, overall credit quality, current economic conditions and loan growth.


Non-interest income during the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of last year increased $139 thousand or 3.4%. This increase was principally due to a $372 thousand decrease in OTTI charges on trust preferred securities pools carried in the Corporation's investment portfolio, a $70 thousand increase in Trust and Investment Center fee income and increases in revenue at CFS Group, Inc. and check card interchange fee income totaling $63 thousand and $35 thousand, respectively. These increases were somewhat offset primarily by decreases in service charges of $321 thousand, as well as decreases in gains on the sale of residential mortgages and cash management fee income totaling $39 thousand and $30 thousand, respectively.


Third quarter 2010 operating expenses were down $375 thousand or 4.1% from the comparable period last year, due in large part to a $376 thousand decrease in pension and other employee benefits. This decrease was primarily due to a $391 thousand reduction in defined benefit pension plan expense impacted to a great extent by improved market conditions during 2009 and the corresponding increase in the market value of plan assets. In addition to the above, data processing costs and stationery and supplies were down $71 thousand and $54 thousand, respectively. These decreases were partially offset primarily by a $137 thousand increase in loan and OREO expenses as well as increases in marketing and advertising costs and salaries of $107 thousand and $73 thousand, respectively. The increase in loan and OREO expenses was impacted by write-downs of two OREO properties during the third quarter totaling $83 thousand following the receipt of updated appraisals on these properties.

A $526 thousand increase in income tax expense was principally due to the $1.561 million increase in pre-tax income, while the increase in the effective tax rate from 28.2% in the third quarter of 2009 to 30.5% in the third quarter of this year resulted primarily from a decrease in the relative percentage of tax exempt income to pre-tax income, given the lower level of third quarter 2009 pre-tax income.


Year-To-Date 2010 vs. Year-To-Date 2009


Net income for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 totaled $7.054 million, an increase of $3.109 million compared to the corresponding period in 2009. Earnings per share increased 78.2% from $1.10 per share to $1.96 per share. This significant increase was impacted in part by direct transaction costs incurred in 2009 related to the Corporation's acquisition of Canton Bancorp, Inc. ("Canton") totaling $1.250 million, as well as a second quarter 2009 $440 thousand special FDIC insurance assessment, which negatively impacted the first nine months of 2009 net income by approximately $1.036 million or $0.29 per share. The increase in earnings was additionally impacted by a decrease in the provision for loan losses, higher net interest income and non-interest income, offset to some extent by higher operating expenses (excluding the 2009 acquisition transaction costs and FDIC special assessment) and higher income taxes.


Net interest income increased $1.456 million or 5.9%, with the net interest margin decreasing 9 basis points to 3.82%. The improvement in net interest income resulted from an increase in average earning assets and a 46 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds, offset to some extent by a 54 basis point decrease in the average yield on earning assets. As compared to the first nine months of last year, average earning assets increased $72.4 million or 8.6%, with average securities up $48.7 million, and average fed funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, and average loans increasing $18.1 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Year-to-date average loans related to the May 2009 Canton acquisition were up $21.6 million compared to the 2009 average. While on average, earning assets increased 8.6%, total interest and dividend income was down $799 thousand or 2.4%, as the average yield on earning assets declined 54 basis points to 4.76%.


Total average funding liabilities, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, increased $74.9 million or 9.2% compared to year-to-date 2009 averages, due to an $85.4 million increase in average deposits, partially offset by a $10.5 million decrease in average other borrowed funds. Approximately $39.6 million of the increase in average deposits was related to the Canton acquisition. In total, average non-interest bearing deposits increased $22.2 million, while average interest-bearing deposits increased $63.2 million. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was reflected primarily in higher average insured money market and savings deposits of $49.3 million and $12.9

26

million, respectively, while average NOW account balances were up $5.6 million. These increases were partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in total time deposits. The decrease in average other borrowings was due to a $10.5 million decrease in average securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While total average funding liabilities increased 9.2%, interest expense decreased $2.256 million or 26.0%, as the average cost of funds decreased 46 basis points from 1.42% to 0.96%.


Similar to third quarter results, and as discussed more fully under the "Asset Quality" section of this report, the year-to-date provision for loan losses of $1.125 million was $950 thousand lower than last year due in large part to decreases in non-performing and potential problem loans, as well as a decrease in specific allocations related to impaired loans, and reflects management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors, including an analysis of historical loss factors, the evaluation of collateral, recent charge-off experience, overall credit quality, current economic conditions and loan growth.


Non-interest income for the first three quarters of 2010 was $963 thousand or 8.1% higher than the comparable period last year, due in large part to a $987 thousand decrease in OTTI charges recognized on trust preferred securities pools carried in the Corporation's investment portfolio. With the exception of these OTTI charges, all other non-interest income decreased $24 thousand or 0.2%, due principally to a $400 thousand decrease in service charges, a $156 thousand decrease in cash management fee income and a $105 thousand decrease in gains on the sale of securities. These decreases were offset to a great extent primarily by increases in check card interchange fee income and Trust and Investment Center fee income totaling $335 thousand and $258 thousand, respectively, as well as a $166 thousand increase in CFS Group, Inc. revenue.


Operating expenses for the first nine months of this year were $1.456 million or 5.0% lower than last year due to the aforementioned 2009 acquisition transaction costs and FDIC special assessment. Excluding these items, all other operating expenses increased $233 thousand or 0.9%. This increase was principally due to increases in salaries and data processing costs (both excluding acquisition transaction costs) totaling $761 thousand and $266 thousand, respectively, as well as a $220 thousand increase in loan and OREO expenses and a $144 thousand increase in regular quarterly FDIC assessments. The increase in salaries resulted principally from merit increases over the past year as well as the addition to staff related to the Canton acquisition, while the increase in data processing costs includes higher check card and Trust and Investment Center processing costs. The increase in loan and OREO expenses was due primarily to higher costs associated with OREO properties, with the increase in FDIC assessments due in large part to the increase in the level of deposits over the past year. These increases were offset to some extent primarily by decreases in employee benefit costs and amortization of intangible assets totaling $890 thousand and $190 thousand, respectively. For reasons noted above, the decrease in employee benefit costs was due principally to an $813 thousand decrease in the Corporation's defined benefit pension plan expense. Additionally, health insurance expense was down $245 thousand due to a reduction in claims under the Corporation's self-insured plan. The reduction in amortization of intangible assets 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, stationery and supplies expense was $94 thousand lower than a year ago.


The $1.717 million increase in income tax expense was due primarily to a $4.286 million increase in pre-tax income, while the increase in the effective tax rate from 26.7% to 30.9% reflects a decrease in the relative percentage of tax-exempt income to pre-tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of deposit customers, borrowers, and the operating, investing, and financing activities of the Corporation. The Corporation uses a variety of resources to meet its liquidity needs. These include short term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, core deposit growth and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits of $100,000 or more, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings.


The Corporation is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") which allows it to access borrowings which enhance management's ability to satisfy future liquidity needs. At September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 the Corporation had available $63.0 million and $64.9 million, respectively, under lines of credit with the FHLB.


During the first nine months of 2010, cash and cash equivalents decreased $6.6 million as compared to an increase of $52.2 million during the first nine months of last year. In addition to cash provided by operating activities, major sources of cash during the first nine months of 2010 included proceeds from sales, maturities, calls and principal reductions on securities totaling $109.3 million, a $3.2 million decrease in loans and a $2.4 million increase in deposits. Proceeds from the above were used primarily to fund purchases of securities totaling $116.2 million, a $10.5 million decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the payment of cash dividends in the amount of $2.6 million and purchases of fixed assets and treasury shares totaling $1.2 million and $426 thousand, respectively.


In addition to cash provided by operating activities, other major sources of cash during the first nine months of 2009 included proceeds from sales, maturities and principal reductions on securities totaling $101.0 million, a $64.7 million increase in deposits and an $18.4 million decrease in loans. Proceeds from the above were used principally to fund purchases of securities totaling $130.7 million, an $8.4 million reduction in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and $7.7 million to purchase Canton Bancorp, Inc. In this transaction, the Corporation acquired approximately $58.8 million of loans, $10.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $5.5 million of securities and other assets totaling approximately $6.2 million, and assumed deposits and other liabilities totaling $73.4 million and $553 thousand, respectively. Other significant uses of cash during the first nine months of 2009

29

included the payment of cash dividends in the amount of $2.6 million and purchases of fixed assets totaling $1.5 million.


As of September 30, 2010, the Bank's leverage ratio was 7.96%. The Tier I and Total Risk Adjusted Capital ratios were 12.20% and 13.79%, respectively. All of the above ratios are in excess of the requirements for being considered "well capitalized" by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the New York State Banking Department.


During the first nine months of 2010, the Corporation declared cash dividends totaling $0.75 per share, unchanged from the dividends declared during the first nine months of 2009.


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 nine months of 2010, the Corporation purchased 20,260 shares at an average price of $21.01 per share. As of September 30, 2010, a total of 20,731 shares had been purchased since the inception of the announced repurchase program. Additionally, during the first nine months 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 September 30, 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 10.82% and an immediate 200-basis point increase would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 0.39%. 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 5.33% and 1.53% 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 September 30, 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 10.93% and an immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would negatively impact the market value by 0.56%. 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 6.78% and 1.78% respectively. Management is also comfortable with the level of exposures at these levels.

30

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 nine months of 2010.



Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Information required by this Item is set forth herein in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading "Interest Rate Risk."



Item 4: Controls and Procedures


The Corporation's management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the Corporation's principal executive officer, and our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, who is the Corporation's principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010 pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2010.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, there have been no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

   
 

There have been no material changes in the risk factors set forth in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2010 and the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2010, except with respect to the following risks related to the Corporation's pending acquisition of FOFC.

   
 

The Corporation May Fail to Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Merger.

   
 

The success of the merger will depend on, among other things, the Corporation's ability to realize anticipated cost savings and to combine the businesses of Chemung Canal Trust Company and Capital Bank in a manner that permits growth opportunities and does not materially disrupt the existing customer relationships of Capital Bank nor result in decreased revenues due to any loss of customers. If the Corporation is not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

   
 

Regulatory Approvals May Not Be Received, May Take Longer than Expected or May Impose Conditions that Are Not Presently Anticipated or Cannot Be Met.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors (continued)

 

Before the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, including the merger, may be completed, various approvals must be obtained from bank regulatory and other governmental authorities. These governmental entities may impose conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Although the parties do not currently expect that any such conditions or changes would be imposed, there can be no assurance that they will not be, and such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying completion of the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement or imposing additional costs on or limiting the Corporation's revenues, any of which might have a material adverse effect on the Corporation following the merger. There can be no assurance as to whether the regulatory approvals will be received, the timing of those approvals, or whether any conditions will be imposed.

   
 

The Merger Agreement May Be Terminated in Accordance with Its Terms and the Merger May Not Be Completed.

   
 

The Merger Agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the merger. Those conditions include: approval of the Merger Agreement by FOFC shareholders, approval of the issuance of the Corporation's common stock in connection with the merger by the Corporation's shareholders, regulatory approvals, absence of orders prohibiting the completion of the merger, effectiveness of the registration statement, the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties by both parties, the performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements, and the receipt by both parties of legal opinions from their respective tax counsels. In addition, certain circumstances exist whereby the Corporation or FOFC may choose to terminate the Merger Agreement. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing of the merger will be fulfilled or that the merger will be completed.

   
 

The pending acquisition of FOFC may distract our management from their other responsibilities.

   
 

The pending acquisition of FOFC could cause our management to focus their time and energies on matters related to the acquisition that otherwise would be directed to our business and operations. Management has considered this possibility and is confident that it has the resources necessary to manange this process effectively. Nonetheless, any such distraction on the part of management, if significant, could affect management's ability to service existing business and develop new business and otherwise adversely affect us following the acquisition.
