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, 2006, 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-month period ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. 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, 2006.

 

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

(2)   Dividend

 

The Board of Directors declared a semi-annual $3.90 per share dividend on common stock on January 10, 2007, to shareholders of record January 20, 2007, which was paid on February 1, 2007.

(3)   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-month periods ended March 31, 2007, and 2006 follow (dollars in thousands, except share data):

(4)   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-month periods ended March 31, 2007, and 2006 follows. (dollars in thousands):

We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS No.156) on January 1, 2007. Adoption of the statement had no material impact on our financial condition or operating results. SFAS No. 156 requires additional interim disclosures, which follow.

 

Servicing fees earned by the Company amounted to $237,000 and $252,000 at March 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and are included in net mortgage servicing income on the statements of income.

The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights was approximately $2,370,000 at March 31, 2007. The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights may vary significantly in subsequent periods due to changing interest rates and the effect thereof on prepayment speeds. Additionally, estimated fair value assumes there are a willing buyer and willing seller in the transaction. Management does not intend to sell these servicing rights. The key economic assumptions used to determine the fair value of mortgage servicing rights at March 31, 2007, and the sensitivity of such value to changes in those assumptions are summarized in the 2006 Annual Report and are substantially the same.

(6)   Income taxes

 

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. We did not have any significant unrecognized tax benefits, and there was no effect on our financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.

 

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and New York State. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal or state tax examinations for years before 2003. We do not believe there will be any material changes in our tax positions over the next 12 months.

 

Our policy is that we recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, we did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the quarter. Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to non-taxable income and non-deductible expenses, which are more fully described in our 2006 Annual Report.

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, 2006.

 

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 2006 Annual Report.

 

Recent Events

 

Much has been written in the press about so-called subprime mortgages. While there is no industry-standard definition, these are generally home mortgages made to borrowers who do not qualify for market interest rates because of problems with their credit history, and, therefore, their credit risk (or ability to repay) is higher than most borrowers. Subprime lending is typically defined by the status of the borrower. A subprime loan is a loan made to someone who could not qualify for a more favorable rate. Subprime borrowers typically have low credit scores and histories of payment delinquencies, charge-offs, or bankruptcies. Because subprime borrowers are considered at higher risk to default, subprime loans typically have less favorable terms than their traditional counterparts. These terms may include higher interest rates, regular fees, or an up-front charge.

9.

 

Many banks across the country have announced losses, additions to their loan loss provision, and other contingent liabilities arising from originating, selling, servicing and/or owning these mortgages. We do not, as a practice, originate these loans. Nor do we invest in these loans either directly or through mortgage-backed securities. Accordingly, we do not have the exposure to losses as do banks that originate subprime mortgages.

 

Financial Overview

 

We report net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, of $2.6 million or $5.31 per diluted share. The results for the quarter were $.02 million or 5.2% lower than the same quarter in 2006. Total revenues decreased $0.1 million over the same quarter last year, while expenses (loan loss, operating expenses and income taxes) rose $.01 million. Total revenue growth was negatively impacted by the effect of continued increases in market interest rates on our funding costs (declining net interest margin).

 

The balance sheet grew 3.3% from year-end 2006. All earning asset categories grew with federal funds sold experiencing significant growth. This growth was funded by a 3.9% growth in total deposits.

Financial Condition (three months ended March 31, 2007)

At March 31, 2007, total assets were $1,245.9 million, up $40.0 million or 3.3% from $1,205.9 million at December 31, 2006. Cash and cash equivalents (cash, balances with other financial institutions, and federal funds sold) increased $33.2 million to $106.5 million, mostly as a result of deposit growth outpacing loan demand and securities purchases.

 

We increased the securities portfolios $2.0 million in total in an effort to invest in earning assets at higher yields than those maturing in order to maintain or improve overall earning asset yields. It is possible these portfolios may decrease somewhat in the second quarter if we find the need to generate cash necessary to pay down $20.6 million in junior subordinated debentures. During the quarter, the market value of the securities portfolio improved due to the maturing of lower yielding assets and a decrease in long-term interest rates. We have both the intent and ability to hold these securities until their market value recovers to their carrying value. 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 $4.9 million to $849.6 million. Included in this increase is approximately $2.2 million in CRA-qualified residential, first mortgages purchased from third parties. The commercial portfolio increased $4.1 million on strong originations for the quarter, offset by a handful of large loan payoffs. The residential loan portfolios grew $7.6 million, inclusive of the $2.2 million of purchased loans. Our residential first-mortgage products introduced in early 2006 remain a popular and cost-effective mortgage for borrowers. The consumer loan portfolios declined $6.3 million from year-end 2006, mostly in the indirect automobile loan portfolio. Fewer loans were originated in connection with our decision to continue increasing interest rates on the product to improve the portfolio's net yield. For the remainder of 2007 we still expect total loans to increase.

 

Total deposits at March 31, 2007, were $1,100.5 million and were up $41.2 million from December 31, 2006. Growth came across all customer categories, including significant growth from municipalities. This is a typical seasonal trend, whereby we see low consumer and business deposit growth in the first quarter of the year. Municipalities' total deposit balance (collateralized principally by held-to-maturity securities) increased approximately $22.9 million for the quarter as compared with $19.2 in 2006, while consumer and business deposits increased $23.0 million as compared to falling $1.6 million in 2006. Brokered deposits of $4.7 million matured during the first quarter of 2007. During the quarter, there was a continued shift in account types by consumers and businesses to time deposits and a corresponding decrease in checking accounts.

 

There was no material change in borrowings.

 

 

Results of Operations (three months ended March 31, 2007)

 

Net interest income decreased $0.2 million or 2.2% for the quarter over the same quarter in 2006, reflecting the impact of the balance sheet's year-over-year growth, offset by significantly higher interest costs. Also included in interest income for the 2006 quarter was $0.3 million in interest on collection of a loan relationship previously on non-accrual. The overall $2.6 million increase in interest income was offset by a $2.8 million increase in interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Compared to the same quarter in 2006, the overall growth in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had a $0.4 million positive impact on net interest income, while the decrease in spread had $0.6 million negative impact.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, average interest-earning assets increased $129.0 million or 12.8% to $1,137.3 million from $1,008.3 million for the 2006 quarter. The tax-equivalent yields on these assets were 6.60% and 6.36%, respectively, with the increase resulting from the maturing of lower interest rate assets, replaced by those with higher interest rates. For the same quarters, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $119.6 million or 14.2% to $963.1 million from $843.5 million. The costs of these liabilities were 3.53% and 2.69%, respectively, also reflecting maturing of lower interest rate deposits, replaced by those with higher interest rates. 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.

 

The net effect of these yield and cost increases was a decreased spread of 60 basis points and a decreased net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets) of 50 basis points to 3.61% (net interest margin was 4.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2006). The difference between spread and margin reflects the contribution of non-interest-bearing deposits - 54 basis points in 2007 and 44 basis points in 2006 - which increased in 2007 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.

 

10.

 

As we discussed in prior reports, most of the funds raised from our $30.9 million junior subordinated debenture offering were invested in short-term securities, which may be liquidated in June 2007 to pay off the $20.6 million junior subordinated debenture. Because we invested in short-term securities, the interest income from these securities is 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 in 2007, all in the first half of the year, but will be positively impacted $0.4 million in subsequent years, due to a lower overall interest rate on the remaining debentures.

 

Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, increased 3.1% to $3.4 million from $3.3 million in 2006, driven mainly by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts and Trust income. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 11.3% on growth in electronic banking services, mostly debit card transactions and an increase in accounts incurring service fees. Trust and investment services income increased 10.3% from 2006 on strong growth in assets under management. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the market value of assets under management increased 21.4% over the same quarter last year, and the book value, the measure of customer growth, improved 20.3% for the same period. About one-third of this growth came from our acquisition of trust relationships in 2006. Total mortgage originations increased in 2007, but, as anticipated, the net gain on the sale of mortgage loans declined from 2006, caused by a decline in the volume of loans sold to third parties and an increase in loans retained in portfolio. (See table below). We retained a higher percentage of originations in our portfolio, the income from which is reflected in interest income. We expect this trend to remain for the rest of the year. All other sources of income declined slightly, mostly from lower income from minority-owned investments.

Operating expenses increased 3.2% or $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, to $9.1 million versus $8.8 million for the 2006 quarter. Most of the increase came in salary and employee benefits. These were higher due to a higher headcount (308 FTE's in 2007; 304 FTE's in 2006), incumbent salary increases averaging 3.2%, and higher benefit costs. All other costs rose modestly as a result of our continuing growth. We expect growth in these and other categories to be similar to this quarter's growth.

 

The quarterly effective tax rate was to 27.0% in 2007 and 27.5% in 2006. 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, 2006, 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 three months ended March 31, 2007, cash flows from all activities produced $33.2 million in net cash and cash equivalents versus providing $18.9 million for the same period in 2006, with the change coming mainly from higher net deposit growth offset by higher net loans.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million in 2007 versus $3.0 million in 2006. Both the largest source and use of operating cash in 2007 and 2006 were loans held for sale. Activity in both years was similar. Excluding the effects of loans held for sale, operating activities provided $1.6 million of cash for each of the three-month periods in 2007 and 2006.

 

In 2007, investing activities used $8.0 million in cash while these activities had a negligible impact on cash flows in 2006. The largest use of cash in 2007 was net loan originations and purchases, followed by securities purchases.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $39.1 million in 2007 versus $15.9 million in 2006. The main contributor in both years was deposit activity, which was higher in 2007 than in 2006.

 

For the remainder of 2007, 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. As noted above, we also expect to use $20.6 million in cash and, possibly, securities to pay down $20.6 million in junior subordinated debentures.

11.

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. 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, 2006.

Capital Resources

 

Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, as of March 31, 2007 the Company and Bank are categorized as "well-capitalized." This is unchanged from December 31, 2006, and management anticipates no change in this classification for the foreseeable future.

The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, was slightly lower than the same period in 2006. It decreased from 2006 due to lower non-performing loans, offset in part by a slight increase in net charge-offs and overall loan growth. The overall balance in the allowance, funded by the provision for loan losses, has increased in connection with growth in the total loan portfolio from 2006. 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 March 31, 2007, is adequate at $9.1 million.

We have experienced a general stabilization in impaired and non-performing loans overall and in non-accrual loans in particular. A number of larger non-accrual relationships have been successfully collected through third-party refinancing, at no loss to us. This has resulted in a general reduction in impaired loans compared to previous periods. Interest income recognized on impaired loans during the periods was not material.

At March 31, 2007, other real estate owned consisted of one residential property and one commercial property. We are actively pursuing the liquidation of the residential property. The commercial property was liquidated at its book value in April 2007.

 

Recent Accounting Standards to be Implemented in Future Periods

FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, in September 2006. This Statement provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and requires expanded disclosures about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. This standard applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.

 

Under the standard, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, the standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity's own data. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The statement is effective for us beginning in 2008. Because this is a disclosure-based statement, it should have no impact on our financial position or results of operations; however, we may be required to provide additional disclosures in our financial statements relative to fair-value measurements.

 

FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, in February 2007. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement applies to all entities, including not-for-profit organizations. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities.

 

13.

 

The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. A not-for-profit organization shall report unrealized gains and losses in its statement of activities or similar statement.

The fair value option:

     1. may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method

     2. is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and

     3. is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments.

 

This Statement is effective for us as of the beginning of 2008. Early adoption was permitted for this quarter; however, we elected not to adopt the standard early. This Statement permits application to eligible items existing at the effective date. Although we are still evaluating the possible impact of this Statement, we do not believe its adoption will be significant. We generally do not use fair value to measure our financial instruments, and do not believe, despite FASB's intention, it is the appropriate measurement for a going-concern.

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 2006 Annual Report.

 

As you read in our annual report, we predicted market interest rates for 2007 to rise about 25 basis points from their year-end values on the short end of the treasury yield curve (under 3 years), falling 50 basis points by year end, and rise 50 basis points or more at the middle- and long-end of the curve. Since December 2006, rates across the yield curve have remained fairly steady. This has had a negative impact on our net interest margin, because there is no differential between the rates, therefore eliminating our opportunity to arbitrage interest rates. Since three quarters of our revenues are derived from net interest margin, unless these interest rates spread out and the long-term rates are higher than short-term rates, we will continue to experience further erosion of our net interest margin and our profitability.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2007, 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 first quarter of 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
