CANANDAIGUA NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1)   Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Such principles are applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in the December 31, 2005, Form 10-K Report of the Company filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Management has prepared the financial information included herein without audit by independent certified public accountants. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

 

Amounts in prior periods' condensed consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year's presentation.

(2)   Stock Based Compensation Plans

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), ''Share-Based Payment'', (''SFAS 123R''), utilizing the modified prospective method whereby prior periods are not restated for comparability. SFAS 123R requires recognition of stock-based compensation expense in the statement of income over the vesting period based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. Previously, the Company used the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, ''Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees'' (''APB 25''), as amended by related interpretations of the FASB. Under APB 25, no compensation cost was recognized for stock options because the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date was equal to the amount per share the employee had to pay to acquire the stock after fulfilling the vesting period. SFAS 123R superseded APB 25 as well as Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which permitted pro forma footnote disclosures to report the difference between the fair value method and the intrinsic value method. The Company recognized expense for its Phantom Stock Awards and Stock Appreciation Rights under the previous guidance, so the impact from adopting SFAS 123R was not material to those awards.

 

Had the Company determined compensation cost on the fair value method under FAS 123, net income, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below. The per-share weighted average fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. No options were granted after 2004. There were no deductions in any period for forfeitures, as none were anticipated. (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts).

Stock Option Plan

 

The Company's incentive stock option program for employees authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 48,000 shares of common stock. All 48,000 options available were granted by year end 2004. Because most options were already fully vested, the future impact to the Company's financial position and operations will be less than $200,000 or $.42 per share over the next two years. The following summarizes outstanding and exercisable options at June 30, 2006.

The intrinsic value of the options exercised, shown in the table above, was $597,000. The intrinsic value of vested options is approximately $4,382,000 at June 30, 2006. The fair value of options vested during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 was not material.

 

Options outstanding (both exercisable and unexercisable) at June 30, 2006, had exercise prices ranging from $120.17 to $293.85. The weighted average expected life of the options is seven years. Since the options have no stated expiration date, the expected life is calculated as the number of years from grant date to the grantee's 65th birthday.

 

The source of shares issued upon exercise has historically been, and is expected to be treasury shares. From time to time, the Company expects to purchase shares for Treasury to be used for these exercises. The amount of shares, timing, and cost of these purchases cannot be determined, as the Company does not know when and what quantity participants will exercise their options.

 

Phantom Stock Awards and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan

 

The Company has an incentive stock plan for management which allows for the issuance of Phantom Stock Awards (PSA) and Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR) [awards] to key employees based upon return on beginning equity. PSA's and SAR's represent the right to receive payment equal to the amount, if any, by which the higher of the book value or market value per share of common stock on the date of exercise exceeds the PSA's or SAR's grant value. PSA's are exercisable at the later of age 55 or 15 years of continuous employment with the Company or at normal retirement age (65). SAR's are exercisable five years from the date of grant. The following summarizes the activity of these awards as of and for the six-months ended June 30, 2006.

In March 2006, certain members of management were awarded a total of 1,801 Phantom Stock Awards (PSA) and 1,201 Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR), all at a grant price of $360.28 per share, the then current market value of the Company's common stock. The total amount of cash used to settle the exercise of the awards shown in the table above was $277,000 and is equivalent to their intrinsic value. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, 2,359 PSA's with a total intrinsic value of $229,000 were vested. The intrinsic value of vested awards is approximately $237,000 at June 30, 2006.

 

The weighted average estimated per-award fair value, as of June 30, 2006, for PSA's was $174.47 and for SAR's was $166.26. Fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions. No forfeitures are assumed, as none are anticipated.

PSA's outstanding (both exercisable and unexercisable) at June 30, 2006, had exercise prices ranging from $0.00 to $360.28. SAR's outstanding (both exercisable and unexercisable) at June 30, 2006, had exercise prices ranging from $111.94 to $360.28. The weighted average expected life of these awards is eight years. Since these awards have no stated expiration date, the expected life is calculated as the number of years from grant date to the grantee's 60th birthday, which is the historical life for similar past awards. Estimated compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized is $339,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of six years.

The Company had accrued a liability of $764,000 at June 30, 2006, representing the accumulated fair-value vested obligation of these awards under the plan. Expenses of the plan amounted to $215,000, and $2,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The income tax benefit associated with these expenses amounted to $86,000, and $1,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

 

(3)   Dividends Per Share

 

The Board of Directors declared a semi-annual $3.70 per share dividend on common stock on July 12, 2006, to shareholders of record July 22, 2006, which was paid on August 1, 2006. The Company also paid a semi-annual dividend of $3.30 per share on February 1, 2006.

(4)   Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the maximum dilutive effect of stock issueable upon conversion of stock options. Calculations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, and 2005 follow (dollars in thousands, except share data):

(5)   Segment Information

 

The Company is organized into two reportable segments: (a) the Company and its banking subsidiaries (Bank), and (b) CNB Mortgage Company (CNBM). These have been segmented due to differences in their distribution channels, the volatility of their earnings, and internal and external financial reporting requirements. The interim period reportable segment information for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 follows. (dollars in thousands):

(6)   Junior Subordinated Debentures

In June 2006, the Company issued $30.0 million of junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures at a floating rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 1.40%. Interest is payable quarterly. The debentures' final maturity is June 2036, and is callable, in whole or in part, at par after five years at the Company's option, and subject to Federal Reserve Bank of New York approval. Interest payments can be deferred for up to five years, but would restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends. Approximately $5MM of the debentures are considered Tier I capital of the Company, while the remainder will be considered Tier II capital. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including the retirement of, subject to regulatory approval, the existing $20.0 million higher priced (3-month LIBOR plus 3.45%) debentures which are callable in whole or part beginning June 2007, and to provide additional capital in support of the Company's and Bank's businesses and operations.

 

As a result of this issuance the Company accelerated the amortization of deferred issuance costs associated with the 2002 junior subordinated debentures, previously amortized over ten years, to the expected call date in 2007. Annualized amortization expense, through June 2007, will be $290,000 versus $61,000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following is our discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. This discussion and analysis supplements our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

 

Critical Accounting Estimate

 

We are instructed, pursuant to SEC guidance, to evaluate and disclose those accounting estimates that we judge to be critical - those most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results, and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. We consider the Allowance for Loan Losses (Allowance) as critical given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to reflect credit losses in the portfolio. There has been no change in our methodology for estimating the Allowance, which is fully described within the 2005 Annual Report.

 

Recent Events

 

In March 2006, we announced our intention to purchase the customer relationships of Five Star Bank's trust business. The market value of assets under management is approximately $64 million and will be added, following regulatory approval, to our existing $924 million of assets under administration. The total cost to purchase these assets, subject to certain adjustments will approximate $1.3 million. Annualized revenues from these assets are projected to approximate $0.5 million. We expect the transaction to close before the end of 2006, but the exact timing is subject to a number of regulatory and judicial approvals from the Department of Banking of the State of New York, the United States Treasury's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Supreme Court of the State of New York.

 

We also announced in March 2006, that we will open an office in Geneva, New York to serve trust and investment customers. Through our market analysis, we determined this location lacked dedicated trust and investment services offered by a full-service, commercial community bank. Our office will serve existing customers, customers associated with the Five Star asset acquisition, and new customers in the surrounding area. We expect to open the office in 2006. The cost to open and operate the office will not be material.

 

Financial Overview

 

We report a 2.7% growth in total assets to $1,119.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and a slight drop in revenues compared to the same period in 2005. Franchise growth for the quarter was strong in most areas: loans (up 7.1%), retail deposits (up 3.1%) and assets under management (up 4.8%). Despite these growth rates, the continued flat treasury yield curve and rising personnel costs negatively impacted total net income, which fell 9.2% to $2.7 million at June 30, 2006 compared to $3.0 million at June 30, 2005. Diluted earnings per share was $5.49 for the quarter in 2006 compared to $5.99 in 2005.

 

For the six month period, total assets grew 4.4% and total revenues grew 2.4% compared to the same period in 2005. Total loans grew 6.6%, retail deposits grew 6.4%, and trust assets grew 7.4%. Net income fell 4.5% to $5.5 million at June 30, 2006 compared to $5.7 million at June 30, 2005. Diluted earnings per share was $11.08 for the first six months of 2006 compared to $11.54 for the first six months of 2005.

Financial Condition (three months ended June 30, 2006)

At June 30, 2006, total assets were $1,119.0 million, up $29.3 million or 2.7% from $1,089.7 million at March 31, 2006. Cash and cash equivalents (cash, balances with other financial institutions, and federal funds sold) declined $32.2 million to $37.6 million, mostly as a result of loan demand and securities purchases outpacing deposit growth. We typically experience an outflow of municipal deposits in summer with a corresponding inflow in autumn. Rather than liquidating available-for-sale securities to fund these short-term outflows, we prefer to utilize available liquidity (fed funds sold) and borrowings, as necessary.

 

As we indicated we would in our first quarter report, we increased the securities portfolios $6.5 million in total. As we discussed then, in order to maintain or improve overall earning asset yields, we expected to increase these portfolios in future periods if net loan originations did not improve. Net loan originations did improve markedly during the second quarter, though we still had available liquidity to increase the securities portfolio. During the quarter, the market value of the securities portfolio continued to decline in connection with rising interest rates. We have evaluated securities with market values below their amortized cost and concluded there are none considered to be other than temporarily impaired, requiring a write-down of carrying value in the income statement.

 

Net loans increased $54.8 million for the quarter to $821.9 million. All loan types grew, with the largest growth seen in commercial real estate and first-lien residential mortgages. During the last quarter we experienced significant pay-offs in the commercial mortgage portfolio. Most of these payoffs were due to the borrowers' sale of the properties or refinancing with out-of-area banks and non-banks. This did not recur in the last three months, which allowed for the portfolio to grow in this quarter. The growth in the residential loan portfolios was a result of our introduction of new residential first-mortgage products in early 2006, and a second-lien mortgage loan promotion during the quarter. The consumer loan portfolios changed little from March 31, 2006, mostly due to lower originations in the indirect automobile loan portfolio. Fewer of these loans were originated in connection with (a) our decision to increase interest rates on the product to improve the portfolio's net yield and (b) a decline in overall automobile sales in the Rochester region, and (c) a direct consumer loan promotion in the second quarter. For the remainder of 2006, we still expect total loans to increase modestly.

 

12

 

Total deposits at June 30, 2006, were $978.7 million and were down $6.2 million from March 31, 2006. Consumer and business deposits increased $15.9 million, while municipal deposits declined $22.1 million for the quarter. Late second quarter and into the third quarter is typically the time we see some outflow of municipal deposits due to seasonal payments they make, which are outside of their tax collection and state funding cycles. We saw the greatest deposit growth in core checking accounts, both interest-bearing and non-interest bearing driven by consumers and businesses, while money market and time deposits declined, reflecting the municipal deposit outflows.

 

Borrowings for the quarter increased $30.0 million due to the issuance of the junior subordinated debentures discussed in Note 6. We also had a minor amount of overnight borrowing ($3.2 million) outstanding at quarter end, used for daily liquidity needs, which was paid off a few days later.

 
 

Results of Operations (three months ended June 30, 2006)

 

As expected, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities rose more than the yield on earning assets, resulting in a lower interest rate spread and margin for the quarter. Despite a 21.9% increase in interest income, driven by both asset growth and yield increases, net interest income declined $0.1 million or less than 1% for the quarter over the same quarter in 2005. This decline was caused by the significant (88.2%) increase in interest costs caused by a rising interest rate environment. Compared to the same quarter in 2005, the overall growth in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had a $0.6 million positive impact on net interest income, while the decrease in interest spread had $0.7 million negative impact.

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, average interest-earning assets increased $100.7 million or 10.8% to $1,032.4 million from $931.7 million for the 2005 quarter. The tax-equivalent yields on these assets were 6.49% and 5.96%, respectively, with the increase resulting from the rise in market interest rates. For the same quarters, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $86.5 million or 11.1% to $864.1 million from $777.6 million. The costs of these liabilities were 2.94% and 1.73%, respectively, also reflecting market rate increases.

 

The net effect of these yield and cost increases was a decreased spread of 68 basis points and a decreased net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets) of 47 basis points to 4.04% (net interest margin was 4.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2005). The difference between spread and margin reflects the contribution of non-interest-bearing deposits - 49 basis points in 2006 and 28 basis points in 2005 - which increased in 2006 due to both an increase in overall rates, and an increase in average non-interest-bearing deposits. A higher proportion of non-interest-bearing deposits to total deposits is beneficial in higher rate conditions.

 

As previously discussed, most of the funds raised from our $30.0 million debenture offering will be invested in short-term securities, which likely will be liquidated in June 2007, to pay off the current $20.0 million debenture. Because we will invest in short-term securities, the interest income from these securities will be less than the interest expense on the debentures. Coupled with the accelerated amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, net interest income will be negatively impacted $0.3 million in 2006 and $0.3 million in 2007, but will be positively impacted $0.4 million in subsequent years.

 

The provision for loan losses was $0.1 million less than the same period last year. This was due to overall improved credit quality, along with lower net charge-offs, and lower net loan originations.

 

Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, was flat relative to 2005 at $3.3 million, driven mainly by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts, offset by lower miscellaneous income. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 24.6% on growth in electronic banking services, mostly debit card transactions and an increase in our non-account maintenance service fees. Trust and investment services income increased slightly. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the market value of assets under management increased 2.4% from March 31, 2006, and the book value, the measure of customer growth, improved 4.8%. Total mortgage originations decreased in 2006, and as anticipated, the net gain on the sale of mortgage loans also declined, caused by both the decrease in total originations and a decrease in the volume of loans sold to third parties versus retained in our portfolio. Other sources of income declined $0.2 million for the quarter, compared to last year, mainly due to lower letter of credit fees and lower income from our investments in minority-owned subsidiaries.

 

Operating expenses increased 5.6% or $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, to $9.0 million versus $8.5 million for the 2005 quarter. Substantially all of the increase came in salary and employee benefits. These expenses were higher due to a higher average headcount (307 FTE's in 2006; 299 FTE's in 2005), salary increases averaging 3.6%, and higher benefit costs. Other operating expenses changed relatively little during the quarter.

 

The quarterly effective tax rate was 27.5% in 2006 and 28.8% in 2005. The change in the effective rate is attributable to the ratio of tax-exempt income to total income.

 

Financial Conditions and Results of Operations (six months ended June 30, 2006)

 

At June 30, 2006, total assets of the Company were up $47.0 million or 4.4% from December 31, 2005. Cash and cash equivalents (cash, balances with other financial institutions, and federal funds sold) decreased as a result of security purchases and loan originations. Total deposits at June 30, 2006, were up 1.2% with growth in consumer and commercial deposits offset by seasonal municipal deposit outflows.

 

13

 

Net interest income improved 2.4% for the six-month period in 2006 over the same period in 2005. The decrease in net interest spread, caused by rates on interest bearing liabilities rising faster than yields on interest earning assets, was more than offset by the growth in the average balance of these liabilities and assets. Summary tax-equivalent net interest income information for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 follows.

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased 2.4% to $6.5 million from $6.4 million in 2005. Service charges on deposit accounts increased due to growth in electronic banking services, mostly debit card transactions and increases in our non-account maintenance service fees. Trust and investment services income was flat for the year to date, despite a 6.1% increase in the market value of assets under management. Higher estate management fees earned in the first quarter of 2005 did not recur in 2006. This type of fee can fluctuate significantly from year to year, depending upon the timing of estate settlements. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the book value of assets under management, our measure of customer growth, increased $56.0 million (7.4%) over the same period in 2005.

 

For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, we experienced a 12.8% increase in mortgage originations over the same period in 2005. Despite this increase, and as anticipated, the net gain on the sale of mortgage loans declined from 2005 and was $0.2 million in 2006 versus $0.4 million then, caused by a 6.8% decline in the total volume of closed loans sold to third parties. The converse is the volume of loans originated and retained in portfolio to support future interest income growth. For the six month periods, these retained portfolio loans accounted for 33.1% of originations in 2006 versus 18.2% of originations in 2005.

Operating expenses increased 6.5% or $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, over the same period in 2005. Most of the increase came in two line items: Salary and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Salaries and employee benefits were higher due to a higher headcount, salary increases averaging 3.6%, and higher benefit costs. Occupancy costs rose mainly due to higher equipment, hardware and software maintenance costs as a result of our continuing growth.

 

The Company's effective tax rate for the year to date in 2006 decreased to 27.5% from 28.4% in 2005. The change in the effective rate is attributable to the ratio of tax-exempt income to total income.

 

Liquidity

 

There has been no material change from December 31, 2005, in our available sources of wholesale liquidity from either the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, cash flows from all activities used $13.2 million in net cash and cash equivalents versus using $34.8 million for the same period in 2005, with the change coming mainly from lower net loan originations and net securities purchases and higher net deposit growth.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.7 million in 2006 versus $4.4 million in 2005 with both the largest source and use of operating cash in 2006 and 2005 being loans held for sale. Activity in 2006 was lower than in 2005. Excluding the effects of loans held for sale, operating activities provided $6.6 million and $6.5 million of cash for the six-month periods in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

14

 

In 2006, investing activities accounted for approximately $62.0 million in net cash outflows, while they accounted for $74.3 million in net cash outflows in 2005. As noted above, both lower net securities purchases and net loan originations were the cause of 2006's decrease.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $42.1 million in 2006 versus $35.0 million in 2005. The main contributor in 2006 was deposit activity. In both years, borrowings accounted for nearly $35.0 million of cash inflows, with 2006's mostly coming from the debenture offering, supplemented by some overnight borrowings, contrasted with 2005 with all of the borrowing coming from overnight borrowings.

 

For the remainder of 2006, cash for growth is expected to come primarily from operating activities and customer deposits. Customer deposit growth is mainly expected to come from Monroe County sources.

Contractual obligations

 

Less material, but a part of our ongoing operations, and expected to be funded through normal operations, are liquidity uses such as lease obligations, long-term debt repayments, and other funding commitments. With the exception of the $30.0 million debentures due in 2036, there has been no material change from the information we presented in our Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Capital Resources

 

Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, as of June 30, 2006, the Company and Bank are categorized as "well-capitalized." This is unchanged from December 31, 2005, and management anticipates no change in this classification for the foreseeable future.

The provision for loan losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, was slightly lower than the same period in 2005, mainly due to a lower amount of loans charged-off. The overall balance in the allowance, has increased in connection with growth in the total loan portfolio from 2005. As discussed more fully in the Annual Report, we determine the amount necessary in the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors. Based on our current assessment of the loan portfolio, we believe the amount of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2006, is adequate at $8.6 million.

We have experienced a general improvement in impaired and non-performing loans overall and in non-accrual loans in particular. A number of larger non-accrual relationships have been successfully liquidated through third-party refinancing, at no loss to us. This has resulted in a significant reduction (36%) in impaired loans from June 2005 to June 2006. However, we also transferred $0.3 million in loans to other real estate owned. Interest income recognized on impaired loans during the periods was not material.

At June 30, 2006, other real estate owned consisted of two residential properties and one commercial property. We are actively pursuing their liquidation.

Recent Accounting Standards

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN #48) in June 2006. FIN 48 is intended to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation is a two-step process: (1) The enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the enterprise should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. (2) A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in one of the following:

 

Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.

 

This Interpretation is effective for the Company beginning in 2007. We are still evaluating the applicability of FIN 48 to positions taken on the Company's tax returns. Though our evaluation is not yet complete, we anticipate the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, but could impact income tax expense in subsequent periods.

 

In March 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS #156). This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement (a) generally requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract, (b) requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, (c) permits an entity to choose either the "amortization method" or "fair value measurement method" as subsequent measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities, and (d) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

 

Under this Statement, an entity can elect subsequent fair value measurement of its servicing assets and servicing liabilities by class, thus simplifying its accounting and providing for income statement recognition of the potential offsetting changes in fair value of the servicing assets, servicing liabilities, and related derivative instruments. An entity that elects to subsequently measure servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value is expected to recognize declines in fair value of the servicing assets and servicing liabilities more consistently than by reporting other-than-temporary impairments.

 

SFAS #156 is effective for us beginning in 2007. This statement will impact our accounting for mortgage servicing rights. It will impact initial measurement of the servicing rights, which are currently valued using an allocated fair value approach. We believe the transition to full fair value will have an impact of less than 5% ($25,000 per annum) from our current measurement methodology. There will be no change in subsequent measurement, wherein we use the "amortization method."

 

FASB issued Statement #155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS #155) in February 2006. This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, "Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets." In particular, this Statement (a) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, (b) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, (c) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, (d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and (e) amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

 

This Statement revises financial reporting by eliminating the exemption from applying Statement 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. This Statement also improves financial reporting by allowing a preparer to elect fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise have to be bifurcated. Providing a fair value measurement election also results in more financial instruments being measured at what the FASB regards as the most relevant attribute for financial instruments, fair value.

 

This Statement will be effective for us beginning in 2007; however, we believe it will have little impact on our financial position or results of operations, since we do not invest in financial instruments subject to this Statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Asset / Liability Management Review

 

We measure net interest income at risk by estimating the changes in net interest income resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in interest rates of plus or minus 200 basis points over a twelve-month period. This provides a basis or benchmark for our Asset/Liability Committee to manage our interest rate risk profile. There have been no significant changes in market risk or interest rate gap from those disclosed in our 2005 Annual Report.

 

As you read in our annual report, we predicted market interest rates for 2006 to rise up to 50 basis points from their year-end values on the short end of the treasury yield curve (under 3 years) and 50 to 75 basis points at the middle- and long-end of the curve. Since December 2005, the two-year constant maturity treasury has risen nearly 75 basis points on average and the ten-year about 65 basis points following changes in our overall economy, and the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) 100 basis point rise in the target federal funds rate. The two-year and ten-year yields are nearly the same, leading to a flat, and sometimes, inverted yield curve. Such a curve presents a challenge to bank profitability, which relies on lower short-term rates (cost paid for deposits and borrowings) relative to long-term rates (yields earned on loans and securities).

 

Our asset yields should continue to rise in 2006 due to the reinvestment of maturing loans and principal repayments as well as new originations at generally higher rates than in 2005. It remains possible the FOMC will continue to raise the target federal funds rate beyond the current 5.25% before year end. Notwithstanding increasing yields, liability costs will rise faster and greater than assets yields, as has been the case for the last several quarters. This will continue to compress both net interest spread and net interest margin. To offset this compression and grow profitability, earning asset balances will need to grow faster than interest-bearing liabilities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2006, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

 

Also, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The following letter from Mr. George W. Hamlin, President and Chief Executive Officer was sent to shareholders receiving our August 1, 2006, dividend.

 

August 1, 2006

 

To Our Shareholders:

 

At the beginning of the year we felt there would be a slowing of the rate of growth of the economy, such that we would expect earnings to be off modestly from 2005 though still very presentable. The automobile industry looked like it was headed for some rough waters so auto loans would be impacted in a negative way. Indeed, our 2006 projected earnings of $21.55 represents a rough average of the last 3 years which is itself THREE times the rolling 5-year average ending 2000, an impressive increase driven by our strategic growth of our market "footprint."

 

Accordingly, I am pleased to report Earnings Per Share of $11.08 better than budget of $10.89 but which is off the $11.54 by 3.9% posted for the same period last year. The principal factor driving this result was a slow start in our net asset growth (the difference between our originations and payoffs for the period) in the first quarter. Our originations of new loans were on target, but we sustained a number of large paydowns on a one-time basis as customers sold off real estate, which we financed, to out of town buyers who were financed by their out of town banks. We have caught up to our desired loans outstanding by means of strong originations in the second quarter, but the fact of the matter is still that we have been deprived of the earnings opportunity by the unusual first quarter happenstance.

 

19

 

Assets were up 10.2% year-over-year for the period, as were deposits up 11.2%. Our Wealth Strategies Group assets were up 10.8% - all pretty much on target showing good growth across all of our lines. It continues to be in the nature of our industry that the net interest margin continues to be squeezed due to the price competition in a rising interest rate environment, but which is in our case largely offset by a very healthy loan portfolio requiring a lower than expected provision for loan loss, lower net charge-offs and lower non-performing loans, a reflection of our quality of Credit Administration.

 

We are pleased to declare a dividend of $3.70 per share giving rise to a total for the year of $7.00 per share, up 15.7% from last year reflecting our continued strong performance of our Company whose footings now stand at $1.1 billion.

 

As we continue the 18-month process of developing a Strategic Plan for the Year 2020, a number of elements have come into focus. We have, through extensive market analysis, evaluated a number of opportunities - "filling in the holes" which are presented in our market region. One such opportunity was to establish a Wealth Strategies Group Office in the City of Geneva. This was at the invitation of the Estates Practice Bar, that is, the attorneys who have extensive estates practices in the area, who were looking for a local and compatible corporate fiduciary to serve their clients. We plan to open the office after Labor Day. Coincidentally, we learned Financial Institutions, Inc., wished to withdraw from the Trust Business and placed out for bid their Trust Assets. We successfully acquired these assets which requires Court approval to ratify, and court proceedings are currently underway. This will have the felicitous effect of "kick starting" very nicely our Geneva Wealth Strategies Group Office.

 

Since the beginning of the year, we have issued an additional $30 million of Trust Preferred Debentures at very attractive rates - much lower than the $20 million issued before and which are callable next year at our option which we intend to exercise. This opportunity allows us to lock in significant savings today while raising an extra $10 million of regulatory capital to further support our growth which is anticipated to continue.

 

Our region fortunately is a pocket of growth and opportunity. In June a number of initiatives came together. We rededicated Sonnenberg Gardens, opened the New York Wine and Culinary Center on South Main Street, and rededicated the Marvin Sands Constellation Brands Performing Arts Center (CMAC) on the campus of the Finger Lakes Community College. All of this was done in just one week! Sonnenberg is now a State Park, and we and others were paid in full with interest. The New York State Wine and Culinary Center which we financed is a partnership among Constellation Brands, Wegman's, RIT and the Wine and Grape Growers Association which promises to be the beginning of the "Napa Valley" of New York State. Twenty years ago there were 50 wineries in New York State and now that number stands at 232 starting in Canandaigua at the northwest corner and spreading throughout New York to the eastern tip of Long Island. I am privileged to be a Board Member of the Wine and Culinary Center, as I am also of the Friends of CMAC. The new performing arts center facility now covers 5,000 seats and stands to be the best facility of its kind in Upstate New York facilitating road shows and outdoor entertainment of every stripe and variety.

 

We are blessed to live and work and play in the Chosen Spot and to have gathered together a talented and imaginative staff who continues to add value to the proposition which we offer our customers, who in turn continue to flock to our banner in large numbers sustaining our growth as the region's only locally-owned, full service community bank.

 

It is indeed sad that the world is in such great turmoil, but we here are living in exciting and productive times with a bright future.

 

Very truly yours,
