General
Chemung Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") was incorporated on January 2, 1985 under the laws of the State of New York and is headquartered in Elmira, NY. The Corporation was organized for the purpose of acquiring Chemung Canal Trust Company (the "Bank"). The Bank was established in 1833 under the name Chemung Canal Bank, and was subsequently granted a New York State bank charter in 1895. In 1902, the Bank was reorganized as a New York State trust company under the name Elmira Trust Company, and its name was changed to Chemung Canal Trust Company in 1903.
The Corporation became a financial holding company in June, 2000. Financial holding company status provided the Corporation with the flexibility to offer an array of financial services, such as insurance products, mutual funds, and brokerage services, which provide additional sources of fee based income and allow the Corporation to better serve its customers. The Corporation established a financial services subsidiary, CFS Group, Inc., in September 2001 which offers non-banking financial services such as mutual funds, annuities, brokerage services, insurance and tax preparation services.
The Corporation’s Board of Directors has concluded that the expansion of the franchise’s geographic footprint, an increase in the Bank’s earning assets and the generation of new sources of non-interest income are important components of its strategic plan. Towards that end, in recent years it has completed the following transactions:
|
·
|
On May 3, 2007, the Bank acquired the trust business of Partners Trust Bank, Utica, New York. At the time of the acquisition, the Bank acquired $351.0 million in trust assets.
|
|
·
|
On March 14, 2008, the Bank acquired three branches from Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company in the New York counties of Broome and Tioga. At the time of the acquisition, the Bank assumed $64.4 million in deposits and acquired $12.6 million in loans.
|
|
·
|
On May 29, 2009, the Corporation acquired Canton Bancorp, Inc., the holding company of Bank of Canton based in Canton, Pennsylvania. At the time of the merger, Canton Bancorp, Inc. had $81.1 million in assets, $58.8 million in loans and $72.9 million in deposits.
|
|
·
|
On April 8, 2011, the Corporation acquired Fort Orange Financial Corp. (“FOFC”), the holding company of Capital Bank & Trust Company (“Capital Bank”) based in Albany, New York. At the time of the merger, Capital Bank had $254.4 million in assets, $170.7 million in loans and $199.2 million in deposits.
|
|
·
|
On November 23, 2013, the Bank completed the acquisition of six branch offices from Bank of America located in Cayuga, Cortland, Seneca and Tompkins counties in New York. As part of the transaction, the Corporation acquired $177.7 million in deposits and $1.2 million in loans.
|
1
As a result of these transactions and organic growth, the Corporation had $1.476 billion in assets, $995.9 million in loans, $1.263 billion in deposits and $138.6 million in shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2013.
Growth Strategy
The Corporation’s growth strategy is to leverage its expanding branch network in current or new markets to build client relationships and grow loans and deposits. Consistent with the Corporation’s community banking model, emphasis is placed on acquiring stable, low-cost deposits, primarily checking account deposits and other low interest-bearing deposits to fund high-quality loans. Expanding the branch network involves branch purchases or opening de novo branches in contiguous markets and acquiring other financial institutions in the Northeast. The Corporation evaluates acquisition targets based on the economic viability of the markets they are in, the degree to which they can be effectively integrated into the Corporation’s current operations and the degree to which they are accretive to capital and earnings.
Description of Business
The Corporation, through the Bank and CFS Group, Inc., provides a wide range of financial services, including demand, savings and time deposits, commercial, residential and consumer loans, letters of credit, wealth management services, employee benefit plans, securities and insurance brokerage services. The Bank derives its income primarily from interest and fees on loans, interest on investment securities, Wealth Management Group fee income and fees received in connection with deposit and other services. The Bank’s operating expenses are interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings, salaries and employee benefit plans and general operating expenses.
In order to compete with other financial services companies, the Corporation relies upon personal relationships established by its officers, employees and directors with our clients. The Corporation has maintained a strong community orientation by supporting the active participation of officers and employees in local charitable, civic, school, religious and community development activities. The Corporation believes that its emphasis on local relationship banking together with a prudent approach to lending, are important factors in its success and growth.
Lending Activities
Lending Strategy
The Corporation’s objective is to channel deposits gathered locally into high-quality, market-yielding loans without taking unacceptable credit and/or interest rate risk. The Corporation seeks to have a diversified loan portfolio consisting of commercial and agricultural loans, commercial mortgages, residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit and home equity term loans, consumer and indirect auto loans. The Bank operates with a traditional community bank model where the relationship manager possesses credit skills and has significant influence over credit decisions. This creates value since clients and prospects know they are dealing with a decision maker.
Lending Authority
The Board of Directors establishes the lending policies, underwriting standards and loan approval limits of the Bank. In accordance with those policies, the Board of Directors has designated certain officers to consider and approve loans within their designated authority. These officers exercise substantial authority over credit and pricing decisions, subject to loan committee approval for larger credits. The Bank recognizes that exceptions to the lending policies may occasionally occur and has established procedures for approving exceptions to these policies.
2
In underwriting loans, primary emphasis is placed on the borrower’s financial condition, including ability to generate cash flow to support the debt and other cash expenses. In addition, substantial consideration is given to collateral value and marketability as well as the borrower’s character, reputation and other relevant factors. Interest rates charged by the Bank vary with degree of risk, type, size, complexity, repricing frequency and other relevant factors associated with the loans. Competition from other financial services companies also impacts interest rates charged on loans.
The Corporation has also implemented reporting systems to monitor loan originations, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, non-performing loans and potential problem loans.
Lending Segments
The Corporation segments its loan portfolio into the following major lending categories: (i) commercial and agricultural, (ii) commercial mortgages, (iii) residential mortgages and (iv) consumer loans.
Commercial and agricultural loans primarily consist of loans to small to mid-sized businesses in our market area in a diverse range of industries. These loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value. The credit risk related to commercial loans is largely influenced by general economic conditions and the resulting impact on a borrower’s operations or on the value of underlying collateral, if any.
Commercial mortgage loans generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans, and they therefore pose higher potential losses on an individual customer basis. Loan repayment is often dependent on the successful operation and management of the properties and/or the businesses occupying the properties, as well as on the collateral securing the loan. Economic events or conditions in the real estate market could have an adverse impact on the cash flows generated by properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate loans and on the value of such properties.
Residential mortgage loans are generally made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income, but are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable. Credit risk for these types of loans is generally influenced by general economic conditions, the characteristics of individual borrowers and the nature of the loan collateral.
The consumer loan segment includes home equity lines of credit and home equity loans, which exhibit many of the same risk characteristics as residential mortgages. Indirect and other consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage and home equity loans, particularly in the case of other consumer loans which are unsecured or, in the case of indirect consumer loans, secured by depreciable assets, such as automobiles or boats. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances such as job loss, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

Funding Activities
Funding Strategy
The Corporation’s deposit strategy is to fund the Bank with stable, low-cost deposits, primarily checking account deposits and other low interest-bearing deposit accounts. A checking account is the driver of a banking relationship and consumers consider the bank where they have their checking account as their primary bank. These customers will typically turn to their primary bank first when in need of other financial services. The Corporation also considers brokered deposits to be an element of its deposit strategy and anticipates that it will continue using brokered deposits as a secondary source of funding to support growth. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis for liquidity purposes or on a long-term basis to fund asset growth.
Funding Sources
The Corporation’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, borrowings and funds generated from operations of the Bank. The Bank also has access to advances from the FHLBNY, other financial institutions and the FRBNY. Contractual loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general market interest rates and economic conditions.
The Corporation considers core deposits, consisting of non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and insured money market accounts, to be a significant component of our deposits. The Corporation monitors the activity on these core deposits and, based on historical experience and pricing strategy, believes it will continue to retain a large portion of such accounts. The Bank is currently not limited with respect to the rates that it may offer on deposit products. The Bank believes it is competitive in the types of accounts and interest rates it has offered on its deposit products. The Bank regularly evaluates the internal cost of funds, surveys rates offered by competitors, reviews cash flow requirements for lending and liquidity, and executes rate changes when necessary as part of its asset/liability management, profitability and growth strategies.
The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in prevailing interest rates and competition. The Bank’s deposits are obtained predominantly from the areas in which its retail offices are located. The Bank relies primarily on customer service, long-standing relationships and other banking services, including loans and wealth management services, to attract and retain these deposits. However, market interest rates and rates offered by competing financial institutions affect the Bank’s ability to attract and retain deposits. The Bank uses traditional means of advertising its deposit products, including radio and print media.
Wealth Management Strategy
With $1.888 billion of assets under management or administration at year-end 2013, the Wealth Management Group is responsible for the largest component of non-interest income. Wealth management services provided by the Bank include services as executor and trustee under wills and agreements, and guardian, custodian, trustee
and
agent for pension, profit-sharing and other employee benefit trusts, as well as various investment, pension, estate planning and employee benefit administrative services. The Corporation’s growth strategy also includes the acquisition of trust businesses to generate new sources of fee income.
The Corporation offers an array of financial services including mutual funds, securities and insurance brokerage, tax preparation and other services through CFS Group Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary
For additional information, including information concerning the results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7.

There were no material changes in the manner of doing business by the Corporation or its subsidiaries during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
Market Area and Competition
The Bank operates 34 branch offices located in 11 counties in New York and Bradford County in Pennsylvania. Bank branch offices are located in the following New York counties: Chemung, where the Bank is headquartered, Broome, Cayuga, Cortland, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga and Tompkins. The Bank also operates under the name “Capital Bank, a division of Chemung Canal Trust Company”, with branch offices located in Albany and Saratoga counties in New York.
Albany and Saratoga counties rely heavily on business related to New York State government activities, the nanotechnology industry and colleges located within these counties. Tompkins County is dominated by the presence of Cornell University and Ithaca College. The world headquarters of Corning Incorporated, the region’s largest employer, is located in Steuben County. The remaining New York counties have a combination of service, small manufacturing and tourism related businesses, with colleges located in Broome, Chemung and Cortland counties.
Within all these market areas, the Bank encounters intense competition in the lending and deposit gathering aspects of its business from local, regional and national commercial banks and thrift institutions, credit unions and other providers of financial services, such as brokerage firms, investment companies, insurance companies and internet banking institutions. The Bank also competes with non-financial institutions, including retail stores and certain utilities that maintain their own credit programs, as well as governmental agencies that make loans to certain borrowers. Many of these competitors are not subject to regulation as extensive as that affecting the Bank and, as a result, may have a competitive advantage over the Bank in certain respects. This is particularly true of credit unions because their pricing structure is not encumbered by the payment of income taxes.
Similarly, the competition for the Bank's wealth management services is primarily from local offices of national brokerage firms, independent investment advisors, national and regional banks as well as internet based brokerage/advisory firms. The Bank operates full-service wealth management centers in Chemung and Broome counties in New York.
Employees
As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation and its subsidiaries employed 390 persons on a full-time equivalent basis.
None of the Corporation's employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements, and the Corporation believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

Supervision and Regulation
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to comprehensive regulation, supervision and examination by regulatory authorities. Numerous statutes and regulations apply to the Corporation’s and, to a greater extent, the Bank’s, operations, including required reserves, investments, loans, deposits, issuances of securities, payments of dividends and establishment of branches. Set forth below is a brief description of some of these laws and regulations. The description does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the applicable laws and regulations.
The Corporation
Bank Holding Company Act
The Corporation is a bank holding company registered with, and subject to regulation and examination by, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). The Federal Reserve regulates and requires the filing of reports describing the activities of bank holding companies, and conducts periodic examinations to test compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. The Federal Reserve has enforcement authority over bank holding companies, including, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders, and to require a bank holding company to divest subsidiaries.
The Corporation generally may engage in the activities permissible for a bank holding company, which includes banking, managing or controlling banks, performing certain servicing activities for subsidiaries, and engaging in other activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. Because the Corporation also has elected financial holding company status, it may also engage in a broader range of activities that are determined by the Federal Reserve and the Secretary of the Treasury to be financial in nature or incidental to financial activities or activities that are determined by the Federal Reserve to be complementary to a financial activity and that do not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally.
The BHCA prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank, or increasing such ownership or control of any bank, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve.
New York Law
The Corporation is organized under New York law and is subject to the New York Business Corporation Law, which governs the rights and obligations of directors and shareholders and other corporate matters.
The Corporation is also a bank holding company as defined in the New York Banking Law by virtue of its ownership and control of the Bank. Generally, this means that the New York State Department of Financial Services ("NYSDFS") must approve the Corporation’s acquisition of control of other banking institutions and similar transactions.
Federal Securities Law
The Corporation is subject to the information, reporting, proxy solicitation, insider trading, and other rules contained in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the regulations of the SEC thereunder. In addition, the Corporation must comply with the corporate governance and listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market to maintain the listing of its common stock on the exchange. These standards include rules relating to a listed company's board of directors, audit committees and independent director oversight of executive compensation, the director nomination process, a code of conduct and shareholder meetings.
6
The SEC has adopted certain proxy disclosure rules regarding executive compensation and corporate governance, with which the Corporation must comply. They include: (i) increased disclosure as it relates to stock and option award compensation; (ii) disclosure regarding any potential conflict of interest of any compensation consultants of the Corporation; (iii) enhanced disclosure regarding compensation committee independence and experience, qualifications, skills and diversity of its directors and any director nominees; (iv) “say-on-pay” disclosure; and (v) information relating to the leadership structure of the Corporation’s board of directors and the board’s role in the risk management process. Additionally, these rules require the Corporation to report the voting results of annual meetings in a much more timely manner on Form 8-K, rather than on a quarterly or annual report.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Corporation is also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Sarbanes-Oxley Act revised the laws affecting public companies’ corporate governance, accounting obligations, and corporate reporting by: (i) creating a new federal accounting oversight body; (ii) revamping auditor independence rules; (iii) enacting new corporate responsibility and governance measures; (iv) enhancing disclosures by public companies, their directors, and their executive officers; (v) strengthening the powers and resources of the SEC; and (vi) imposing new criminal and civil penalties for securities fraud and related wrongful conduct.
The SEC has adopted regulations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including: (i) executive compensation disclosure rules; (ii) standards of independence for directors who serve on the Corporation’s audit committee; (iii) disclosure requirements as to whether at least one member of the Corporation’s audit committee qualifies as a “financial expert” as defined in the SEC regulations; (iv) whether the Corporation has adopted a code of ethics applicable to its chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or those persons performing similar functions; (v) and disclosure requirements regarding the operations of board nominating committees and the means, if any, by which security holders may communicate with directors.
Support of Subsidiary Banks
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), discussed in the section of this document entitled “Additional Important Legislation and Regulation”, codifies the Federal Reserve’s long-standing policy of requiring bank holding companies to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to their subsidiary banks, as a statutory requirement. Under this requirement, the Corporation is expected to commit resources to support its banking subsidiaries, including at times when it may not be advantageous for the Corporation to do so.
The Bank
General
The Bank is a commercial bank chartered under the laws of New York State and is supervised by the NYSDFS. The Bank also is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System and, therefore, the Federal Reserve serves as its primary federal regulator. The FDIC insures the Bank’s deposit accounts up to applicable limits. The Bank must file reports with the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (“FFIEC”), the Federal Reserve and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition and must obtain regulatory approval before commencing certain activities or engaging in transactions such as mergers and other business combinations or the establishment, closing, purchase or sale of branch offices. This regulatory structure gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in the enforcement of laws and regulations and the supervision of the Bank.
7
Loans to One Borrower
The Bank generally may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. Up to an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus can be lent if the additional amount is fully secured by readily marketable collateral. At December 31, 2013, the Bank’s legal lending limit on loans to one borrower was $20.0 million for loans not fully secured by readily marketable collateral and $22.0 million for loans secured by readily marketable collateral. The Bank’s internal limit on loans is set at $15.0 million. At that date, the Bank did not have any loans or agreements to extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of its legal lending limit.
Branching
Subject to the approval of the NYSDFS, New York chartered commercial banks may establish branch offices anywhere within New York State, except in communities having populations of less than 50,000 inhabitants in which another New York chartered commercial bank or a national bank has its principal office. Additionally, under the Dodd-Frank Act, state chartered banks may generally branch into other states to the same extent as commercial banks chartered under the laws of that state may branch.
Payment of Dividends
The Bank is subject to substantial regulatory restrictions relating to its ability to pay dividends to the Corporation. Under Federal Reserve and NYSDFS regulations, the Bank may not pay a dividend without prior approval of the Federal Reserve and the NYSDFS if the total amount of all dividends declared during such calendar year, including the proposed dividend, exceeds the sum of its retained net income to date during the calendar year and its retained net income over the preceding two calendar years. As of December 31, 2013, approximately $8.5 million was available for the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation without prior approval. The Bank's ability to pay dividends also is subject to the Bank being in compliance with regulatory capital requirements. The Bank is currently in compliance with these requirements.
Federal Reserve System
All depository institutions must maintain with a Federal Reserve Bank reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW, and Super NOW accounts) and nonpersonal time accounts. As of December 31,
2013, the Bank was in compliance with applicable reserve requirements. In all years preceding 2008, these reserves were maintained as vault cash or noninterest-bearing accounts, thereby reducing the Bank’s earnings potential. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Federal Reserve Banks announced that they would begin to pay interest on member banks’ required reserve balances, as well as excess reserve balances.
Standards for Safety and Soundness
The Federal Reserve has adopted guidelines prescribing safety and soundness standards. These guidelines establish general standards relating to capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings performance, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk. In evaluating these safety and soundness standards, the Federal Reserve also evaluates internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, exposure to changes in interest rates, asset growth, compensation, fees, and benefits. In general, the guidelines require appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risks and exposures specified in the guidelines. The Federal Reserve may order an institution that has been given notice that it is not satisfying these safety and soundness standards to submit a compliance plan, and if an institution fails to do so, the Federal Reserve must issue an order directing action to correct the deficiency and may issue an order directing other action. If an institution fails to comply with such an order, the Federal Reserve may seek to enforce such order in judicial proceedings and to impose civil money penalties.

Real Estate Lending Standards
The Federal Reserve has adopted guidelines that generally require each Federal Reserve state member bank to establish and maintain written internal real estate lending standards that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices and appropriate to the size of the bank and the nature and scope of its real estate lending activities. The standards also must be consistent with accompanying Federal Reserve guidelines, which include loan-to-value ratios for the different types of real estate loans.
Transactions with Related Parties
The Federal Reserve Act governs transactions between the Bank and its affiliates, including the Corporation and CFS Group, Inc. In general, an affiliate of the Bank is any company that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Bank. Generally, the Federal Reserve Act limits the extent to which the Bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to 10% of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus, and contains an aggregate limit of 20% of capital stock and surplus for covered transactions with all affiliates. Covered transactions include loans, asset purchases, the issuance of guarantees, and similar transactions. The Bank's loans to insiders must be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. The loans are also subject to maximum dollar limits and must generally be approved by the Board.
Deposit Insurance
The FDIC insures the deposits of the Bank up to regulatory limits and the deposits are subject to the deposit insurance premium assessments of the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF"). The FDIC currently maintains a risk-based assessment system under which assessment rates vary based on the level of risk posed by the institution to the DIF. The assessment rate may, therefore, change after any of these measurements change.
The FDIC has adopted a final rule making certain changes to the deposit insurance assessment system. Among other things, the rule revised the assessment rate schedule effective April 1, 2011, and adopted additional rate schedules that will go into effect when the DIF reserve ratio reaches various milestones. The rule changed the deposit insurance assessment system from one that was based on domestic deposits to one that is based on average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity. In addition, the rule provides that FDIC dividend payments will be suspended if the DIF reserve ratio exceeds 1.5 percent but that assessment rates will decrease when the DIF reserve ratio reaches certain thresholds.
All institutions with deposits insured by the FDIC are required to pay assessments to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation ("FICO"), an agency of the federal government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association Insurance Fund. These assessments will continue until the FICO bonds mature in 2017. The FDIC's FICO assessment authority is separate from its authority to assess risk-based premiums for deposit insurance. The FICO assessment rate is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment bases of the fund and is not risk-based by institution. The FICO assessment rate for the first quarter of 2014, due December 31, 2013, was
.
003875%
of insured deposits.

Regulatory Capital Requirements
Current Federal Reserve regulations require state member banks to meet three minimum capital standards, which are:
• a minimum tangible capital ratio requirement of 1.5% of tangible capital to adjusted total assets;
|
|
•
|
a general minimum leverage ratio requirement of 4.0% of core capital to adjusted total assets (minimum of 3.% for certain banks that have been assigned the highest composite rating under the Uniform Financial Institutions Ratings System); and
|
|
|
•
|
a minimum risk-based capital ratio requirement of 8.0% of core and supplementary capital to total risk-weighted assets, provided that the amount of supplementary capital used to satisfy this requirement may not exceed 100% of core capital.
|
On October 11, 2013, the Federal Reserve approved a final rule that amends the regulatory capital rules for state member banks effective January 1, 2015. The Federal Reserve approved the new capital rules in coordination with substantially identical final rules approved by the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for other types of banking organizations. The revisions make the capital rules consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“Basel III”) and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. In general, the new capital rules revise regulatory capital definitions and minimum ratios; redefine Tier 1 Capital as two components (common equity tier 1 capital and additional tier 1 capital); create a new “common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio”; implement a capital conservation buffer; revise prompt corrective action thresholds; and change risk weights for certain assets and off-balance sheet exposures.
The new capital rules implement a revised definition of regulatory capital, a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement of 4.5%, and a higher minimum Tier 1 capital requirement of 6.0% (which is an increase from 4.0%). Under the new rules, the total capital ratio remains at 8.0%, and the minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) for all banking organizations, regardless of supervisory rating, is 4.0%. Additionally, under the new capital rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer composed of common equity Tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The buffer is measured relative to risk-weighted assets. The final rules also enhance risk sensitivity and address weaknesses identified by the regulators over recent years with the measure of risk-weighted assets, including through new measures of creditworthiness to replace references to credit ratings, consistent with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act.
The new capital requirements also include changes in the risk-weights of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposures. These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and the unsecured portion of non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise on nonaccrual status; a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable; a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital; and increased risk weights (from 0% to up to 600%) for equity exposures.
The new minimum capital requirements generally become effective for all banking organizations (except for the largest internationally active banking organizations) on January 1, 2015, whereas the capital conservation buffer and the deductions from common equity Tier 1 capital phase in over time, beginning on January 1, 2016.
The Corporation is subject to Federal Reserve capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies, which are similar to those applicable to the Bank.
10
In assessing a state member bank’s capital adequacy, the Federal Reserve takes into consideration not only these numeric factors but also qualitative factors, and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual banks where necessary. The Bank, in accordance with its internal prudential standards, targets as its goal the maintenance of capital ratios which exceed these minimum requirements and that are consistent with its risk profile.
Prompt Corrective Action
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”) requires the federal banking agencies to resolve the problems of insured banks at the least possible loss to the DIF. The Federal Reserve has adopted prompt corrective action regulations to carry out this statutory mandate. The Federal Reserve’s regulations authorize, and in some situations, require, the Federal Reserve to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized state member banks, including the imposition of restrictions on asset growth and other forms of expansion. The prompt corrective action regulations place state member banks in one of the following five categories based, on the bank’s capital:
• well capitalized
• adequately capitalized
• undercapitalized
• significantly undercapitalized
• critically undercapitalized
The new capital rules described above under “Regulatory Capital Requirements” maintain the general structure of the current prompt corrective action framework while increasing some of the thresholds for the prompt corrective action capital categories. For example, an adequately capitalized bank is required to maintain a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% (increased from the current level of 4.0%). The rule also introduces the common equity tier 1 capital ratio as a new prompt corrective action capital category threshold.
As an institution’s capital decreases within the three undercapitalized categories listed above, the severity of the action that is authorized or required to be taken by the Federal Reserve for state member banks under the prompt corrective action regulations increases. All banks are prohibited from paying dividends or other capital distributions or paying management fees to any controlling person if, following such distribution, the bank would be undercapitalized. The Federal Reserve is required to monitor closely the condition of an undercapitalized institution and to restrict the growth of its assets.
An undercapitalized state member bank is required to file a capital restoration plan with the Federal Reserve within 45 days (or other timeframe prescribed by the Federal Reserve) of the date the bank receives notice that it is within any of the three undercapitalized categories, and the plan must be guaranteed by its parent holding company, subject to a cap on the guarantee that is the lesser of: (i) an amount equal to 5.0% of the bank’s total assets at the time it was notified that it became undercapitalized; and (ii) the amount that is necessary to restore the bank’s capital ratios to the levels required to be classified as “adequately classified,” as those ratios and levels are defined as of the time the bank failed to comply with the plan. If the bank fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it were “significantly undercapitalized.” Banks that are significantly or critically undercapitalized are subject to a wider range of regulatory requirements and restrictions.
Federal Home Loan Bank
The Bank is also a member of the FHLBNY, which provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions for home mortgage and neighborhood lending. The Bank is subject to the rules and requirements of the FHLBNY, including the requirement to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLBNY. The Bank was in compliance with the rules and requirements of the FHLBNY at December 31, 2013.
11
Community Reinvestment Act
Under the federal Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”), the Bank, consistent with its safe and sound operation, must help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The Federal Reserve periodically assesses the Bank's compliance with CRA requirements. The Bank received an “outstanding” rating for CRA on its last performance evaluation conducted by the Federal Reserve as of May 29, 2012.
Fair Lending and Consumer Protection Laws
The Bank must also comply with the federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the New York Executive Law, which prohibit creditors from discrimination in their lending practices on bases specified in these statutes. In addition, the Bank is subject to a number of federal statutes and regulations implementing them, which are designed to protect the general public, borrowers, depositors, and other customers of depository institutions. These include the Bank Secrecy Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Electronic Funds Transfers Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Flood Disaster Protection Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Helping Families Save Their Homes Act, and the Consumer Protection for Depository Institutions Sales of Insurance regulation. The Federal Reserve and, in some instances, other regulators, including the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) and state Attorneys General, may take enforcement action against institutions that fail to comply with these laws.
Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements
Subject to some exceptions, the BHCA and Federal Reserve regulations prohibit banks from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the bank or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the bank.
Privacy Regulations
Federal Reserve regulations generally require the Bank to disclose its privacy policy. The policy must identify with whom the Bank shares its customers’ “nonpublic personal information,” at the time of establishing the customer relationship and annually thereafter. In addition, the Bank must provide its customers with the ability to “opt out” of having their personal information shared with unaffiliated third parties and not to disclose account numbers or access codes to non-affiliated third parties for marketing purposes. The Bank’s privacy policy complies with Federal Reserve regulations.
The USA PATRIOT Act
The Bank is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act, which gives the federal government powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing, and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. The USA PATRIOT Act imposes affirmative obligations on financial institutions, including the Bank, to establish anti-money laundering programs which require: (i) the establishment of internal policies, procedures, and controls; (ii) the designation of an anti-money laundering compliance officer; (iii) ongoing employee training programs; and (iv) an independent audit function to test the anti-money laundering program. The Federal Reserve must consider the Bank’s effectiveness in combating money laundering when ruling on merger and other applications.

CFS Group, Inc.
CFS Group, Inc. is subject to supervision by other regulatory authorities as determined by the activities in which it is engaged. Insurance activities are supervised by the NYSDFS, and brokerage activities are subject to supervision by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").
Additional Important Legislation and Regulation
The Dodd-Frank Act
The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted on July 21, 2010, significantly changed the bank regulatory landscape and has impacted and will continue to impact the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new rules and regulations, and to prepare various studies and reports for Congress. We have summarized below significant rules adopted by the federal agencies pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act.
The Dodd-Frank Act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), with wide-ranging powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The CFPB has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit "unfair, deceptive or abusive" acts and practices. The CFPB has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. The Dodd-Frank Act also weakened the federal preemption rules that have been applicable to national banks and federal savings associations, and gives state attorneys general certain powers to enforce federal consumer protection regulations.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Rules
In 2013, the CFPB issued several new rules pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act concerning the regulation of mortgage markets in the U.S. The rules amend several existing regulations, including Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act, Regulation X, which implements the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and Regulation B, which implements the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.
The amendments to Regulation Z:
|
|
•
|
Lengthen the time for which a mandatory escrow account established for a higher-priced mortgage loan must be maintained. This rule, which is subject to a number of transactional exceptions, such as mortgage transactions extended by creditors that operate predominantly in rural or underserved areas, became effective on June 1, 2013.
|
|
|
•
|
Require creditors to make a reasonable, good faith determination of a consumer’s ability to repay any consumer credit transaction secured by a dwelling (excluding an open-end credit plan, timeshare plan, reverse mortgage, or temporary loan) and establish certain protections from liability under this requirement for “qualified mortgages.” The amendments also limit prepayment penalties. This rule became effective on January 10, 2014.
|
|
|
•
|
Expand the types of mortgage loans that are subject to the protections of the Home Ownership and Equity Protections Act of 1994 (“HOEPA”), revise and expand the tests for coverage under HOEPA, and impose additional restrictions on mortgages that are covered by HOEPA, including a pre-loan counseling requirement. The final rule also amends Regulation Z and Regulation X by imposing certain other requirements related to homeownership counseling, including a requirement that consumers receive information about homeownership counseling providers. This rule became effective on January 10, 2014.
|
13
|
|
•
|
Require creditors to obtain a full interior appraisal by a certified or licensed appraiser for non-exempt “higher-risk mortgage loans”, which are mortgages with an annual percentage rates that exceeds the average prime offer rate by a specified percentage. The rule also requires a second such appraisal at the creditor’s expense for certain properties held for less than 180 days. Exemptions include qualified mortgages, reverse mortgages, bridge loans, construction loans and certain manufactured homes. In addition, the rule requires creditors to provide the consumer a copy of all written appraisals performed in connection with the mortgage at least 3 days prior to closing. This rule became effective on January18, 2014.
|
|
|
•
|
Regulate mortgage broker and other loan originator compensation by: i) prohibiting dual compensation (payment by both the lender and the borrower) and compensation arrangements that incentivize the originator to steer the borrower to more expensive loan products (by basing the compensation on the interest rate or other term of a transaction); ii) establishing tests for when loan originators can be compensated through certain profits-based compensation arrangements; and iii) prohibiting mandatory arbitration clauses in disputes concerning residential mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit. This rule became effective on January 10, 2014, except for the mandatory arbitration prohibition, which went into effect on June 1, 2013.
|
|
|
•
|
Address initial rate adjustment notices for adjustable-rate mortgages, periodic statements for residential mortgage loans, prompt crediting of mortgage payments, and responses to requests for payoff amounts and the scope, timing, content, and format of disclosures to consumers regarding the interest rate adjustments of their variable-rate transactions. This rule became effective on January 10, 2014.
|
The Regulation X amendments address loan servicers’ obligations to: i) correct errors asserted by mortgage loan borrowers; ii) provide certain information requested by borrowers; iii) provide protections to borrowers in connection with force-placed insurance iv) establish reasonable policies and procedures to achieve certain delineated objectives; v) provide information about mortgage loss mitigation options to delinquent borrowers; vi) establish policies and procedures for providing delinquent borrowers with continuity of contact with servicer personnel; and vii) evaluate borrowers’ applications for available loss mitigation options. This rule became effective on January 10, 2014.
The amendments to Regulation B require creditors to provide to applicants free copies of all appraisals and other written valuations developed in connection with an application for a loan to be secured by a first lien on a dwelling, and require creditors to notify applicants in writing that copies of appraisals will be provided to them promptly. This rule became effective on January 18, 2014.
In December 2013, the Federal Reserve and the SEC released final rules to implement the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, commonly known as the “Volcker Rule.” The Volcker Rule, among other things, prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading and from sponsoring, having an ownership interest in or having certain relationships with a hedge fund or private equity fund, subject to certain exemptions. At December 31, 2013, we were not engaged in any activities and we did not have any ownership interests in any funds that are not permitted under the Volcker Rule.
14
Securities and Exchange Commission Rules
As discussed above under “Federal Securities Law”, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC has issued regulations that provide the shareholders of public companies with an advisory vote on: i) executive compensation ("say-on-pay" votes); ii) the desired frequency of say-on-pay votes; and iii) compensation arrangements and understandings in connection with merger transactions, known as "golden parachute" arrangements. The SEC has also adopted corporate governance regulations that provide to shareholders of companies subject to the SEC’s proxy rules: i) the opportunity to nominate directors at a shareholder meeting and to have their nominees included in the company proxy materials sent to all shareholders; and ii) the ability to use the shareholder proposal process to establish procedures for the inclusion of shareholder director nominations in company proxy materials.
Banking Agency Rules
As discussed above under “Regulatory Capital Requirements”, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve and the other federal banking agencies have established minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements for insured depository institutions and bank holding companies.
The Dodd-Frank Act also broadened the base for FDIC insurance assessments. Assessments are now based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution. The Dodd-Frank Act also permanently increases the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor per insured institution, retroactive to January 1, 2008.
The Dodd-Frank Act directs the federal banking regulators to promulgate rules requiring the reporting of incentive-based compensation and prohibiting excessive incentive-based compensation paid to executives of depository institutions and their holding companies with assets in excess of $1.0 billion. In April 2011, the Federal Reserve, along with other federal banking supervisors, issued a joint notice of proposed rulemaking implementing those requirements
.
Many other provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act still require extensive rulemaking, guidance and interpretation by regulatory agencies. Accordingly, in many respects, the ultimate impact of the legislation and its effects on the Corporation and the Bank remain uncertain. We are continuing to closely monitor and evaluate regulatory developments. Such developments could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations through significant increases in our regulatory compliance costs.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
Under the privacy and data security provisions of the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB Act"), and rules promulgated thereunder, all financial institutions, including the Corporation, the Bank and CFS Group, Inc., are required to establish policies and procedures to restrict the sharing of nonpublic customer data with nonaffiliated parties at the customer's request and to protect customer data from unauthorized access. In addition, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"), as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 ("FACT Act"), includes many provisions affecting the Corporation, Bank, and/or CFS Group, Inc., including provisions concerning obtaining consumer reports, furnishing information to consumer reporting agencies, maintaining a program to prevent identity theft, sharing of certain information among affiliated companies, and other provisions. For instance, FCRA requires persons subject to FCRA to notify their customers if they report negative information about them to a credit bureau or if they are granted credit on terms less favorable than those generally available. The Federal Reserve and the FTC have extensive rulemaking authority under the FACT Act, and the Corporation and the Bank are subject to the rules that have been promulgated by the Federal Reserve and FTC thereunder, including recent rules regarding limitations on affiliate marketing and implementation of programs to identify, detect and mitigate the risk of identity theft through red flags. The Corporation has developed policies and procedures for itself and its subsidiaries to maintain compliance and believes it is in compliance with all privacy, information sharing and notification provisions of the GLB Act and FCRA.
15
The GLB Act and FCRA also impose requirements regarding data security and the safeguarding of customer information. The Bank is subject to the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards (“Security Guidelines”), which implement section 501(b) of the GLB Act and section 216 of the FACT Act. The Security Guidelines establish standards relating to administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to ensure the security, confidentiality, integrity and the proper disposal of customer information. The Bank believes it is in compliance with all such standards.
The Corporation’s business is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Although the Corporation seeks ways to manage these risks and develop programs to control those that management can, the Corporation ultimately cannot predict the extent to which these risks and uncertainties could affect our results. Actual results may differ materially from management's expectations. The material risks and uncertainties that management believes affect the Corporation are discussed below. You should consider all of the following risks together with all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Economic conditions may adversely affect the Corporation’s financial performance.
As a consequence of the economic slowdown that the United States experienced, business activity across a wide range of industries continues to face serious difficulties due to reduced consumer spending, the weakened financial condition of some borrowers and employment levels. A continued weakness or further weakening in business and economic conditions generally or specifically in the principal markets in which the Corporation does business could have one or more of the following adverse effects on the Corporation’s business: (i) a decrease in the demand for loans and other products and services; (ii) a decrease in the value of the Corporation’s loans or other assets secured by consumer or commercial real estate; (iii) an impairment of certain of the Corporation’s intangible assets, such as goodwill; and (iv) an increase in the number of borrowers and counterparties who become delinquent, file for protection under bankruptcy laws or default on their loans or other obligations to the Corporation.
Additionally, in light of economic conditions, the Corporation’s ability to assess the creditworthiness of its customers may be impaired if the models and approaches that it uses to select, manage and underwrite loans become less predictive of future behaviors. Further, competition in the Corporation’s industry may intensify as a result of consolidation of financial services companies in response to current market conditions and the Corporation may face increased regulatory scrutiny, which may increase its costs and limit its ability to pursue business opportunities.
Commercial real estate and business loans increase the Corporation’s exposure to credit risks.
At December 31, 2013, the Corporation’s portfolio of commercial real estate and business loans totaled $519 million or 52.1% of total loans. The Corporation’s plans are to continue to emphasize the origination of these types of loans, which generally expose the Corporation to a greater risk of nonpayment and loss than residential real estate or consumer loans because repayment of commercial real estate and business loans often depends on the successful operations and income stream of the borrower’s business. Additionally, such loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to residential real estate and consumer loans. Also, some of the Corporation’s borrowers have more than one commercial loan outstanding. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose the Corporation to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to residential real estate and consumer loans. The Corporation targets its business lending and marketing strategy towards small to medium-sized businesses. These small to medium-sized businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities. If general economic conditions negatively impact these businesses, the Corporation’s results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
16
Increases to the allowance for loan losses may cause the Corporation’s earnings to decrease.
The Corporation’s customers may not repay their loans according to the original terms, and the collateral securing the payment of those loans may be insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance. Hence, we may experience significant loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of its loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of its borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, management relies on loan quality reviews, past loss experience, and an evaluation of economic conditions, among other factors. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in the Corporation’s loan portfolio, resulting in additions to the allowance. Material additions to the allowance would materially decrease net income.
The Corporation’s emphasis on the origination of commercial loans is one of the more significant factors in evaluating its allowance for loan losses. As the Corporation continues to increase the amount of these loans, additional or increased provisions for loan losses may be necessary, which could result in a decrease in earnings.
Bank regulators periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Corporation to increase its provision for loan losses or loan charge-offs. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or financial condition.
Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the Corporation’s results of operations and financial condition.
The Corporation’s results of operations and financial condition are significantly affected by changes in interest rates. Our financial results depend substantially on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income that we earn on interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities. If the Corporation’s interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than its interest-bearing liabilities in a given period as a result of decreasing interest rates, net interest income may decrease. Likewise, net interest income may decrease if interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period as a result of increasing interest rates. The Corporation has taken steps to mitigate this risk, such as holding fewer longer-term residential mortgages, as well as investing excess funds in shorter-term investments.
Changes in interest rates also affect the fair value of the Corporation’s interest-earning assets and, in particular, its investment securities available for sale. Generally, the fair value of investment securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. Decreases in the fair value of investment securities available for sale, therefore, could have an adverse effect on our shareholders’ equity or earnings if the decrease in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary.
Changes in interest rates may also affect the average life of loans and mortgage-related securities. Decreases in interest rates can result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance to reduce borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, the Corporation is subject to reinvestment risk to the extent that it is unable to reinvest the cash received from such prepayments at rates that are comparable to the rates on its existing loans and securities. Additionally, increases in interest rates may decrease loan demand and make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable rate loans.
17
Strong competition within our industry and market area could limit the Corporation’s growth and profitability.
The Corporation faces substantial competition in all phases of its operations from a variety of different competitors. Future growth and success will depend on the ability to compete effectively in this highly competitive environment. The Corporation competes for deposits, loans and other financial services with a variety of banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well as other entities, which provide financial services. Some of the financial institutions and financial services organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as the Corporation. Many competitors have been in business for many years, have established customer bases, are larger, and have substantially higher lending limits. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of funds between parties.
The Corporation’s growth strategy may not prove to be successful and our market value and profitability may suffer
.
As part of the Corporation's strategy for continued growth, we may open additional branches. New branches do not initially contribute to operating profits due to the impact of overhead expenses and the start-up phase of generating loans and deposits. To the extent that additional branches are opened, the Corporation may experience the effects of higher operating expenses relative to operating income from the new operations, which may have an adverse effect on the Corporation's levels of net income, return on average equity and return on average assets.
In addition, the Corporation may acquire banks and related businesses that it believes provide a strategic fit with its business, such as the 2011 acquisition of Fort Orange Financial Corp (“FOFC”) and the 2013 acquisition of six branches of Bank of America. To the extent that the Corporation grows through acquisitions, it cannot provide assurance that such strategic decisions will be accretive to earnings.
Compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act may increase the Corporation’s costs of operations and adversely affect the Corporation’s earnings and financial condition.
The Dodd-Frank Act represents a significant overhaul of the CFPB as many aspects of the regulation of the financial-services industry. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act creates a new federal financial consumer protection agency, tightens capital standards, imposes clearing and margining requirements on many derivatives activities, and generally increases oversight and regulation of financial institutions and financial activities.
In addition to the self-implementing provisions of the statute, the Dodd-Frank Act calls for many administrative rulemakings by various federal agencies to implement various parts of the legislation. While regulators have adopted a number of new rules required by the Dodd-Frank Act, others have not been proposed or if proposed, not been adopted in final form. The Corporation cannot be certain when final rules affecting it will be issued through such rulemakings, and what the specific content of such rules will be. The financial reform legislation and any implementing rules that are ultimately issued could have adverse implications on the financial industry, the competitive environment, and the Corporation’s ability to conduct business. The Corporation will have to apply resources to ensure that it is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and any implementing rules, which may increase the Corporation’s costs of operations and adversely impact its earnings.
18
The Corporation operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.
Currently, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and examination by regulatory authorities. For example, the Federal Reserve regulates the Corporation and the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the NYSDFS regulate the Bank. Such regulators govern the activities in which the Corporation and its subsidiaries may engage. These regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operation of a bank, the classification of assets by a bank, and the adequacy of a bank’s allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, or legislation, could have a material impact on the Corporation and its operations. The Corporation believes that it is in substantial compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. Because our business is highly regulated, the laws, rules and applicable regulations are subject to regular modification and change. There can be no assurance that proposed laws, rules and regulations, or any other law, rule or regulation, will not be adopted in the future, which could make compliance more difficult or expensive or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition or prospects.
The impending capital requirement changes from Basel III discussed in Item 1-“Business-Supervision and Regulation”, could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation. Even though the Bank exceeds current and proposed minimum regulatory capital levels, adverse changes to residential mortgage risk weights, new requirements for common equity capital, inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income in regulatory capital, the phase out of trust preferred securities, along with the adoption of new capital conservation buffers would reduce the Bank's current capital position and over time could cause the Bank to fail to meet minimum regulatory requirements. These positions are subject to volatility due to changes in interest rates and credit spreads. The current positive balance is a product of the continued ultra low interest rate environment, which could change in the future. Rapid increases in interest rates and credit spreads could reverse the gain position and force the Corporation's accumulated other comprehensive income to become negative and have an adverse impact on the Bank's regulatory capital. Although there is a phase-in period in the proposed rules, other factors such as the ultra-low interest rate environment, fragile economic recovery, possible recession, and further constraints on profitability by regulators could impact the Bank's ability to meet the new regulatory minimums once the phase-in periods have ended.
The Corporation is a holding company and depends on its subsidiaries for dividends, distributions and other payments.
The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank and other subsidiaries. Its principal source of cash flow, including cash flow to pay dividends to its shareholders, is dividends from the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation, as well as by the Corporation to its shareholders. Federal Reserve regulations affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends and other distributions and to make loans to the Corporation. If the Bank is unable to make dividend payments to the Corporation and sufficient capital is not otherwise available, we may not be able to make dividend payments to our common shareholders.
19
The Corporation holds certain intangible assets that could be classified as impaired in the future. If these assets are considered to be either partially or fully impaired in the future, our earnings and the book values of these assets would decrease.
The Corporation is required to test its goodwill and core deposit intangible assets for impairment on a periodic basis. The impairment testing process considers a variety of factors, including the current market price of its common stock, the estimated net present value of its assets and liabilities, and information concerning the terminal valuation of similarly situated insured depository institutions. If an impairment determination is made in a future reporting period, our earnings and the book value of these intangible assets would be reduced by the amount of the impairment. If an impairment loss is recorded, it will have little or no impact on the tangible book value of our common shares or our regulatory capital levels, but such an impairment loss could significantly restrict the Bank from paying a dividend to the Corporation.
We may not be able to attract and retain skilled people.
Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain key people. Competition for the best people in most activities in which we engage can be intense and we may not be able to hire people or to retain them. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse impact on the business because we would lose the employees’ skills, knowledge of the market, and years of industry experience and may have difficulty promptly finding qualified replacement personnel.
Our controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented, which may result in a material adverse effect on our business.
Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Under rules of the SEC promulgated under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we were required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. In the course of our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 in connection with the preparation of the 2013 audited financial statements and our annual report on Form 10-K for 2013, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to the identification and evaluation of troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2013. The material weakness did not result in a misstatement in the Corporation’s quarterly or annual financial statements for 2013. However, as a result of the material weakness, management has concluded that the Corporation did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.
Our independent registered public accounting firm also identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting as stated in its Audit Report citing a deficiency noted above. We have begun the process of remediating the deficiency noted above. The material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, as described in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” and in the Audit Report, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as any other weakness or deficiencies that may exist or hereafter arise or be identified, could harm our business and operating results, and could result in adverse publicity and a loss in investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. If the weakness is not properly remediated, it could adversely affect our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis.
20
The Corporation continually encounters technological change and the failure to understand and adapt to these changes could adversely affect our business.
The banking industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The Corporation's future success will depend, in part, on the ability to address the needs of customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional efficiencies in operations. Many competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing such products and services to customers. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.
The Corporation is subject to security and operational risks relating to its use of technology.
Despite instituted safeguards, the Corporation cannot be certain that all of its systems are entirely free from vulnerability to attack or other technological difficulties or failures. The Corporation relies on the services of a variety of vendors to meet its data processing and communication needs. If information security is breached or other technology difficulties or failures occur, information may be lost or misappropriated, services and operations may be interrupted and the Corporation could be exposed to claims from customers. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, as well as New York law and certain banking laws, could delay or prevent a takeover of us by a third party.
Provisions of the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, New York law, and state and federal banking laws, including regulatory approval requirements, could delay, defer or prevent a third party from acquiring the Corporation, despite the possible benefit to the Corporation’s shareholders, or otherwise adversely affect the market price of the Corporation’s common stock. These provisions include: a two-thirds affirmative vote of all outstanding shares of Corporation stock for certain business combinations; a supermajority shareholder vote of 75% of outstanding stock for business combinations involving 10% shareholders; the election of directors to staggered terms of three years; and advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the Corporation’s board of directors and for proposing matters that shareholders may act on at a shareholder meeting. In addition, the Corporation is subject to New York law, which among other things prohibits the Corporation from engaging in a business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of five years from the date the person became an interested stockholder unless certain conditions are met. These provisions may discourage potential takeover attempts, discouraging bids for the Corporation’s common stock at a premium over market price or adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of the Corporation’s common stock. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for shareholders to elect directors other than candidates nominated by the Board.
The risks presented by acquisitions could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The business strategy of the Corporation has included and may continue to include growth through acquisition from time to time. Any future acquisitions will be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in acquisitions. These risks may include, among other things: our ability to realize anticipated cost savings, the difficulty of integrating operations and personnel, the loss of key employees, the potential disruption of our or the acquired company’s ongoing business in such a way that could result in decreased revenues, the inability of our management to maximize our financial and strategic position, the inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, and the impairment of relationships with the acquired company’s employees and customers as a result of changes in ownership and management.
21
Severe weather and other natural disasters can affect the Corporation’s business.
Our main office and our branch offices can be affected by natural disasters such as severe storms and flooding. These kinds of events could interrupt our operations, particularly our ability to deliver deposit and other retail banking services to our customers and as a result, our business could suffer serious harm. While we maintain adequate insurance against property and casualty losses arising from most natural disasters, and we have successfully overcome the challenges caused by past flooding in Central New York, there can be no assurance that we will be as successful if and when disasters occur.
Our accounting policies and estimates are critical to how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and any changes to such accounting policies and estimates could materially affect how we report our financial condition and results of operations.
Management has identified certain accounting policies as being critical because they require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuations of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset, valuing an asset or liability or reducing a liability. We have established detailed policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure that these critical accounting estimates and judgments are well controlled and applied consistently. In addition, these policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. Because of the uncertainty surrounding our judgments and the estimates pertaining to these matters, actual outcomes may be materially different from amounts previously estimated. For example, because of the inherent uncertainty of estimates, management cannot provide any assurance that the Bank will not significantly increase its allowance for loan losses if actual losses are more than the amount reserved. Any increase in its allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will not be required to adjust accounting policies or restate prior financial statements.
Further, from time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. The ongoing economic recession has resulted in increased scrutiny of accounting standards by legislators and our regulators, particularly as they relate to fair value accounting principles. In addition, ongoing efforts to achieve convergence between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards may result in changes to GAAP. These changes can be hard to predict and can materially impact how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in our restating prior period financial statements or otherwise adversely affecting our financial condition or results of operations.
There may be claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility.
From time to time as part of the Corporation’s normal course of business, customers make claims and take legal action against the Corporation based on its actions or inactions related to the fiduciary responsibilities of the Wealth Management Group Services segment. If such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to the Corporation, they may result in financial liability and/or adversely affect the market perception of the Corporation and its products and services. This may also impact customer demand for the Corporation’s products and services. Any financial liability or reputation damage could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
None.

The Corporation and the Bank currently conduct all their business activities from the Bank's main office in Elmira, New York, 34 full-service branch locations in a twelve county area, owned office space adjacent to the Bank's main office in Elmira, New York and ten off-site automated teller facilities (“ATMs”), all of which are located on leased property. The main office is a six-story structure located at One Chemung Canal Plaza, Elmira, New York, in the downtown business district. The main office consists of approximately 59,342 square feet of space, of which 745 square feet is occupied by the Corporation's subsidiary CFS Group, with the remaining 58,597 square feet entirely occupied by the Bank. The combined square footage of the 34 branch banking facilities totals approximately 177,000 square feet. The office building adjacent to the main office was acquired in 1995 and consists of approximately 33,186 square feet of which 30,766 square feet are occupied by operating departments of the Bank and 2,420 square feet are leased. The leased automated teller facility spaces total approximately 500 square feet. The Bank operates fourteen of its facilities (Auburn, Bath, Binghamton, Cortland, Clifton Park, Community Corners, Ithaca, Latham, Oakdale Mall, Slingerlands, Tioga, Vestal, and Albany-Washington Ave. and Wolf Rd Offices) and ten ATM’s (Collegetown Bagels, Corning Community College, Elmira College, Elmira/Corning Regional Airport, E-Z Food Mart, Hardinge Inc., Ithaca College, Lansing Market, Schuyler Hospital, and Quality Beverage) under lease arrangements. The rest of its offices, including the main office and the adjacent office building, are owned by the Bank. All properties owned or leased by the Bank are considered to be in good condition.
The Corporation holds no real estate in its own name.
The Bank is a party in two legal proceedings involving its Wealth Management Group. In both proceedings, the Bank, as trustee pursuant to written trust instruments, has sought judicial settlement of trust accounts in the New York Surrogate’s Court for Chemung County. Individuals who are beneficiaries under the trusts have filed formal objections and/or demand letters with the Court in both of these accounting proceedings, objecting to the final settlement of the trust accounts. The objectants primarily assert that the Bank acted imprudently by failing to diversify the trusts’ investments and they claim $9.6 million and $24.1 million, consisting of damages and disallowed trustee’s commissions, plus unspecified legal fees in the respective proceedings. These proceedings are pending in the Surrogate’s Court. While the outcome of litigation is not predictable the Bank believes that the claims are without merit and is vigorously defending them. As of December 31, 2013, no amount has been accrued for potential losses related to these proceedings as a potential loss is not considered probable or reasonably estimable in the opinion of management.
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding claims and legal proceedings involving the Corporation or its subsidiaries. Except for the above matter, we believe that we are not a party to any pending legal, arbitration, or regulatory proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our financial results or liquidity.
None

Under New York law, the Corporation may pay dividends on our common stock either: (i) out of surplus, so that the Corporation’s net assets remaining after such payment equal the amount of its stated capital, or (ii) if there is no surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. Our payment of dividends on our common stock is dependent, in large part, upon receipt of dividends from the Bank, which is subject to certain restrictions which may limit its ability to pay us dividends. See Item 1, “Business – Regulation and Supervision-The Bank-Payment of Dividends” for an explanation of legal limitations on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends.
As of February 28, 2014, there were 1,226 registered holders of record of the Corporation's stock, which includes 608 Non Objecting Beneficial Owners (“NOBO”) shares held in street name.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties
Critical accounting policies include the areas where the Corporation has made what it considers to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments concerning estimates, and where these estimates can significantly affect the Corporation's financial results under different assumptions and conditions. The Corporation prepares its financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As a result, the Corporation is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based upon the information available at that time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the uncertainty in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover probable incurred credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and the material effect that such judgments can have on the Corporation's results of operations. While management's current evaluation of the allowance for loan losses indicates that the allowance is adequate, under adversely different conditions or assumptions the allowance would need to be increased. For example, if historical loan loss experience significantly worsened or if current economic conditions significantly deteriorated, additional provisions for loan losses would be required to increase the allowance. In addition, the assumptions and estimates used in the internal reviews of the Corporation's non-performing loans and potential problem loans, and the associated evaluation of the related collateral coverage for these loans, has a significant impact on the overall analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Real estate values in the Corporation’s market area did not increase dramatically in the prior several years, and, as a result, any declines in real estate values have been modest. While management has concluded that the current evaluation of collateral values is reasonable under the circumstances, if collateral evaluations were significantly lowered, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses policy would also require additional provisions for loan losses.
29
Management also considers the accounting policy relating to 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 other-than-temporary impairment exists. The Corporation assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized through a charge to earnings. For those securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, such as those that management has determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the amount of impairment charged to earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Corporation uses an 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.
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
Summary
Consolidated assets at December 31, 2013 totaled $1.476 billion, an increase of $227.9 million or 18.3% since December 31, 2012. The growth was due primarily to increases of $106.3 million in investment securities available for sale and $102.4 million, or 11.5%, in total portfolio loans. The increase in portfolio loans was due to strong growth of $64.5 million in commercial loans and $42.4 million in consumer loans.
Total liabilities increased $220.5 million to $1.338 billion at December 31, 2013, due primarily to an increase of $218.6 million in deposits. The growth in deposits was due primarily to increases of $177.7 million from the branch acquisition and $40.9 million in organic deposit growth. Total shareholders’ equity was $138.6 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $7.5 million from December 31, 2012, due primarily to the Corporation’s net income of $8.7 million and a $3.0 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by declared dividends of $4.8 million.
The market value of total assets under management or administration in the Corporation’s Wealth Management Group was $1.888 billion at December 31, 2013 compared with $1.735 billion at December 31, 2012, an increase of $153.0 million, or 8.8%.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Total cash and cash equivalents increased $11.4 million since December 31, 2012, due primarily to increases of $9.0 million in interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and $2.4 million in cash and due from financial institutions. The increases were due to additional cash from the branch acquisition that was not used to help fund the increase in investment securities and portfolio loans. The Corporation continues to evaluate alternative investment of these funds with caution, given the low interest rate environment.
Securities
The Corporation’s Funds Management Policy includes an investment policy that in general, requires debt securities purchased for the bond portfolio to carry a minimum agency rating of "A". After an independent credit analysis is performed, the policy also allows the Corporation to purchase local municipal obligations that are not rated. The Corporation intends to maintain a reasonable level of securities to provide adequate liquidity and in order to have securities available to pledge to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements and other types of transactions. Fluctuations in the fair value of the Corporation’s securities relate primarily to changes in interest rates.
Marketable securities are classified as
Available for Sale,
while investments in local municipal obligations are generally classified as
Held to Maturity.
The composition of the available for sale segment of the securities portfolio is summarized in Table 3 as follows (in thousands of dollars):

The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $346.0 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $106.3 million, or 44.4%, from $239.7 million at December 31, 2012. The increase resulted primarily from purchases of $174.0 million, partially offset by sales and calls of $18.1 million, and maturities and principal collected of $44.0 million. The increase in securities available for sale was funded from the deposits acquired in the branch acquisition.
The held to maturity segment of the securities portfolio consists of obligations of political subdivisions in the Corporation’s market areas. These securities totaled $6.5 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $0.8 million, or 13.0%, from $5.7 million at December 31, 2012. The increase resulted primarily from purchases of $6.4 million, partially offset by maturities and principle collected of $5.7 million.
32
Non-marketable equity securities at December 31, 2013 include shares of FRBNY stock and FHLBNY stock, carried at their cost of $1.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The fair value of these securities is assumed to approximate their cost. The investment in these stocks is regulated by regulatory policies of the respective institutions.
Table 4 sets forth the carrying amounts and maturities of available for sale and held to maturity debt securities at December 31, 2013 and the weighted average yields of such securities (all yields are calculated on the basis of the amortized cost and weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security, except mortgage-backed securities which are based on the average life at the projected prepayment speed of each security). Federal tax equivalent adjustments have not been made in calculating yields on municipal obligations (in thousands of dollars):

Management evaluates securities for OTTI on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Corporation had no OTTI charges. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Corporation sold one CDO consisting of a pool of trust preferred securities that had an amortized cost of $0.6 million. The CDO was sold for $0.6 million, resulting in a slight loss. The CDO was sold in light of the uncertainty surrounding the recently released rules contained in the “Volcker Rule” provision of the Dodd-Frank Act regarding the ability of banks to hold these types of securities and based on current market conditions. In addition to the CDO that was sold in the fourth quarter of 2013, the remaining CDO was liquidated and the Corporation will record approximately $0.5 million in other income during the first quarter of 2014. The Corporation does not own any other CDOs in its investment securities portfolio. For more detailed information on OTTI, see Footnote (3), “Securities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
33
Loans
The Corporation has reporting systems to monitor: (i) loan originations and concentrations, (ii) delinquent loans, (iii) non-performing assets, including non-performing loans, troubled debt restructurings, other real estate owned, (iv) impaired loans, and (v) potential problem loans. Management reviews these systems on a regular basis.

Portfolio loans totaled $995.9 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $102.4 million, or 11.5%, from $893.5 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in portfolio loans was due to strong growth of $64.5 million, or 14.2%, in commercial loans and $42.4 million, or 17.7%, in consumer loans. The growth in commercial loans was due primarily to an increase of $51.7 million in commercial loans in the Capital Bank division in the Albany, New York region. The growth in consumer loans was primarily due to increases of $34.2 million in indirect consumer loans and $8.9 million in home equity loans. The Corporation conducted a marketing campaign for direct consumer loans during the second and third quarters of 2013.
Residential mortgage loans totaled $196.0 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2012. In addition, during 2013, $18.8 million of residential mortgages were sold in the secondary market to Freddie Mac, with an additional $0.7 million of residential mortgages sold to the State of New York Mortgage Agency.
The Corporation anticipates that future growth in portfolio loans will continue to be in commercial mortgages and indirect consumer loans.
Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. The Corporation’s concentration policy limits the volume of commercial loans to any one specific industry. Specific industries are identified using the North American Industry Classification System (“NAICS”) codes. The volume of commercial loans, with the exception of commercial mortgages, to any one specific industry is limited to Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses. The volume of commercial mortgages is limited to three times the total of Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses. The Corporation is in compliance with the concentration policy limits.
34
The Corporation also monitors specific NAICS industry classifications of commercial loans to indentify concentrations greater than 10.0% of total loans. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, commercial loans to borrowers involved in the real estate, and real estate rental and lending businesses were 31.1% and 27.7% of total loans, respectively. No other concentration of loans existed in the commercial loan portfolio in excess of 10.0% of total loans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Table 6 shows the maturity of only commercial and agricultural loans and commercial mortgages outstanding as of December 31, 2013. Also provided are the amounts due after one year, classified according to the sensitivity to changes in interest rates (in thousands of dollars):

Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, non-accrual troubled debt restructurings and other real estate owned that has been acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loan obligations or upon foreclosure.
Past due status on all loans is based on the contractual terms of the loan. It is generally the Corporation's policy that a loan 90 days past due be placed in non-accrual status unless factors exist that would eliminate the need to place a loan in this status. A loan may also be designated as non-accrual at any time if payment of principal or interest in full is not expected due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. At the time loans are placed in non-accrual status, the accrual of interest is discontinued and previously accrued interest is reversed. All payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal. Loans are considered for return to accrual status when they become current as to principal and interest and remain current for a period of six consecutive months or when, in the opinion of management, the Corporation expects to receive all of its original principal and interest. 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.

Non-Performing Loans
The recorded investment in non-performing loans at December 31, 2013, totaled $8.5 million compared to $6.0 million at year-end 2012, an increase $2.5 million. The increase in non-performing loans was due to increases of $1.8 million in non-accrual loans and $0.7 million in non-accrual TDRs. Non-performing commercial loans increased $1.6 million and non-performing residential mortgages increased $0.9 million.
The recorded investment in accruing loans 90 days or more past due totaled $1.5 million at December 31, 2013, compared with $4.5 million at year-end 2012, a decrease of $3.0 million. This decrease was due to a decrease of $3.0 million in acquired construction loans not considered by management to be PCI loans, which for a variety of reasons are 90 days or more past their stated maturity dates. These loans totaled $1.5 million at December 31, 2013. However, the borrowers continue to make required interest payments. Additionally, these loans carry third party credit enhancements, and based on the strength of those credit enhancements, the Corporation has not identified these loans as PCI loans and expects to incur no losses on these loans.
Not included in the non-performing loan totals are loans acquired in the April 2011 acquisition of FOFC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Bank, which the Corporation had identified as PCI loans totaled $9.7 million and $10.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The PCI loans are accounted for under separate accounting guidance, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 310-30, “Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” as disclosed in Note 4 of the financial statements.
36
Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Corporation works closely with borrowers that have financial difficulties to identify viable solutions that minimize the potential for loss. In that regard, the Corporation modified the terms of select loans to maximize their collectability. The modified loans are considered TDRs under current accounting guidance. Modifications generally involve short-term deferrals of principal and/or interest payments, reductions of scheduled payment amounts, interest rates or principal of the loan, and forgiveness of accrued interest. As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation had $1.1 million of non-accrual TDRs compared with $0.4 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase in non-accrual TDRs was primarily in the commercial loan segment of the loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation had $6.8 million of accruing TDRs compared with $5.3 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase in accruing TDRs was primarily in the commercial loan segment of the loan portfolio.

Impaired loans at December 31, 2013 totaled $13.9 million, including TDRs of $7.9 million, compared with $12.7 million at December 31, 2012, including TDRs of $5.7 million. Not included in the impaired loan totals are loans acquired in the FOFC acquisition which the Corporation has identified as PCI loans, as these loans are accounted for under ASC Subtopic 310-30 as noted under the above discussion of non-performing loans. The increase of $1.2 million in impaired loans resulted principally from an increase in impaired commercial loans. Included in the impaired loan total at December 31, 2013, are loans totaling $2.0 million for which impairment allowances of $1.0 million have been specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2012, the impaired loan total included $0.8 million of loans for which specific impairment allowances of $0.2 million were allocated to the allowance for loan losses. The increase in the amount of impaired loans for which specific allowances were allocated to the allowance for loan losses was due primarily to an increase in impaired commercial 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, by independent third parties, on loans secured by real estate at the time a loan is determined to be impaired. An impairment measurement is performed based upon the most recent appraisal on file to determine the amount of any specific allocation or charge-off. 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. 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. 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. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using (i) an appraisal, (ii) net book value of the collateral per the borrower’s financial statements, or (iii) aging reports, that may be adjusted based on management’s knowledge of the client and client’s business. If market conditions warrant, future appraisals are obtained for both real estate and non-real estate collateral.
37
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans. The allowance is established based on management’s evaluation of the probable inherent losses in our portfolio in accordance with GAAP, and is comprised of both specific valuation allowances and general valuation allowances.
A loan is classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect both the principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Specific valuation allowances are established based on management’s analyses of individually impaired loans. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, evaluations of the underlying collateral, expected cash flows, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. If a loan is determined to be impaired and is placed on nonaccrual status, all future payments received are applied to principal and a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. Loans not impaired but classified as substandard and special mention use a historical loss factor on a rolling five year history of net losses. For all other unclassified loans, the historical loss experience is determined by portfolio class and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Corporation over the most recent two years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio class. These qualitative factors include consideration of the following: (1) lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off and recovery policies, (2) national and local economic and business conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments, (3) loan profiles and volume of the portfolio, (4) the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff, (5) the volume and severity of past due, classified and watch-list loans, non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, and other modifications (6) the quality of the Bank’s loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Bank’s Board of Directors, (7) collateral related issues: secured vs. unsecured, type, declining valuation environment and trend of other related factors, (8) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations, (9) the effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the Bank’s current portfolio and (10) the impact of the global economy.
The allowance for loan losses is increased through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of all or a portion of the principal is unlikely. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is performed on a periodic basis and takes into consideration such factors as the credit risk grade assigned to the loan, historical loan loss experience and review of specific impaired loans. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
38
Prior to December 31, 2012, the Corporation utilized the sum of all allowance amounts derived as described above, combined with a reasonable unallocated allowance, as the primary indicator of the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Corporation refined its allowance calculation whereby it “allocated” the portion of the allowance that was previously deemed to be unallocated allowance. This refined allowance calculation included specific allowance allocations for qualitative factors including (i) concentrations of credit, (ii) general economic and business conditions, (iii) trends that could affect collateral values and (iv) expectations regarding the current business cycle. The Corporation may also consider other qualitative factors in future periods for additional allowance allocations, including, among other factors, (1) credit quality trends (including trends in non-performing loans expected to result from existing conditions), (2) seasoning of the loan portfolio, (3) specific industry conditions affecting portfolio segments, (4) the Corporation’s expansion into new markets and (5) the offering of new loan products.
Table 9 summarizes the Corporation’s allocation of the allowance for loan losses and percent of loans by category to total loans for each year in the five-year period ended December 31, 2013 (in thousands of dollars):

The allowance for loan losses was $12.8 million at December 31, 2013, up from $10.4 million at December 31, 2012. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.28% at December 31, 2013, compared to 1.17% at December 31, 2012. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was due principally to the establishment of $0.9 million in additional specific reserves on three commercial loans, loan portfolio growth and allowances for the growth after consideration of the factors discussed above, and higher net charge-offs.

Net charge-offs for 2013 were $0.4 million compared with $0.2 million for 2012. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding was 0.04% for 2013 compared to 0.02% for 2012. The increase in net charge-offs was due primarily to an increase of $0.4 million in consumer loan charge-offs, partially offset by a decline of $0.3 million in commercial mortgage charge-offs.
Other Real Estate Owned
At December 31, 2013, other real estate owned (“OREO”) totaled $0.5 million compared to $0.6 million at December 31, 2012.
Other Assets
The $4.3 million increase in other assets was due primarily to an improvement in the funded status of the Corporation’s pension plan, partially offset by a decline in prepaid FDIC insurance premiums.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $1.263 billion at December 31, 2013, compared with $1.045 billion at December 31, 2012, an increase of $218.6 million, or 20.9%. The growth was primarily due to $177.7 million from the branch acquisition and $40.9 million in organic deposit growth. At December 31, 2013, demand deposit and money market accounts comprised 65.5% of total deposits compared with 60.7% at December 31, 2012. Sorted by public, commercial and consumer sources, the growth in deposits was due primarily to increases of $154.8 million in consumer accounts, $36.2 million in public funds and $31.4 million in commercial accounts.
40
In addition to consumer, commercial and public deposits, other sources of funds include brokered deposits. Brokered deposits include funds obtained through brokers, and the Bank’s participation in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program. The CDARS program involves a network of financial institutions that exchange funds among members in order to ensure FDIC insurance coverage on customer deposits above the single institution limit. Using a sophisticated matching system, funds are exchanged on a dollar-for-dollar basis, so that the equivalent of an original deposit comes back to the originating institution. Deposits obtained through brokers were $5.0 million and $8.8 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Deposits obtained through the CDARS program were $35.7 million and $8.1 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in CDARS deposits was due to the Corporation offering the CDARS program to local municipalities during 2013.
The Corporation’s deposit strategy is to fund the Bank with stable, low-cost deposits, primarily checking account deposits and other low interest-bearing deposit accounts. A checking account is the driver of a banking relationship and consumers consider the bank where they have their checking account as their primary bank. These customers will typically turn to their primary bank first when in need of other financial services. Strategies that have been developed and implemented to generate these deposits include: (i) acquire deposits by entering new markets through de novo branching, (ii) an annual checking account marketing campaign, (iii) training branch employees to identify and meet client financial needs with Bank products and services, (iv) link business and consumer loans to primary checking account at the Bank, (v) aggressively promote direct deposit of client’s payroll checks or benefit checks and (vi) constantly monitor the Corporation’s pricing strategies to ensure competitive products and services.
The Corporation also considers brokered deposits to be an element of its deposit strategy and anticipates that it will continue using brokered deposits as a secondary source of funding to support growth.
Information regarding deposits is included in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.
Borrowings
FHLBNY term advances decreased $2.0 million during 2013. As a result of the increase in deposits, the Corporation decided not to replace FHLBNY advances that matured.
For each of the three years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the average outstanding balance of borrowings that mature in one year or less did not exceed 30% of shareholders' equity.
Information regarding securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLBNY advances is included in notes 8 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of deposit clients, 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 FHLBNY which allows it to access borrowings which enhance management's ability to satisfy future liquidity needs. Based on available collateral and current advances outstanding, the Corporation was eligible to borrow up to a total of $73.1 million and $104.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Corporation also had a total of $28.0 million of unsecured lines of credit with four different financial institutions, all of which was available at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
41
During 2013, cash and cash equivalents increased $11.4 million. The major sources of cash during 2013 included $170.9 million received from the branch acquisition, $22.8 million provided by operating activities, $67.9 million in proceeds from sales, maturities, calls and principal reductions on securities and $40.9 million in organic deposit growth. These proceeds were used primarily to fund purchases of securities totaling $180.5 million, a $101.5 million net increase in loans, payment of cash dividends in the amount of $3.6 million and purchases of fixed assets totaling $3.7 million.
During 2012, cash and cash equivalents decreased $12.7 million. The major sources of cash during 2012 included $24.6 million provided by operating activities, proceeds from sales, maturities, calls and principal reductions on securities totaling $124.5 million and a $46.2 million increase in deposits. These proceeds were used primarily to fund purchases of securities totaling $82.2 million, a $96.6 million net increase in loans, a $16.1 million decrease in FHLBNY term advances, a decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaling $4.4 million, the payment of cash dividends in the amount of $5.7 million and purchases of fixed assets totaling $3.7 million.
Shareholders’ Equity
Total shareholders’ equity was $138.6 million at December 31, 2013, compared with $131.1 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $7.5 million, or 5.7%. The increase was due primarily to net income of $8.7 million and a $3.0 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by declared dividends of $4.8 million. The total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio was 9.39% at December 31, 2013 compared with 10.50% at December 31, 2012. As a result of the branch acquisition, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio decreased to 7.62% at December 31, 2013, from 8.53% at December 31, 2012.
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve which establish a framework for the classification of financial holding companies and financial institutions into five categories: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. As of December 31, 2013, both the Corporation’s and the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those required to be considered well-capitalized under regulatory capital guidelines. A comparison of the Corporation’s and the Bank’s actual capital ratios to the ratios required to be adequately or well-capitalized at December 31, 2013 and 2012, is included in note 17 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. For more information regarding current capital regulations see Part I-“Business-Supervision and Regulation-Regulatory Capital.”
Cash dividends declared during 2013 totaled $4.8 million or $1.04 per share compared to $4.6 million or $1.00 per share in 2012 and $4.3 million and $1.00 per share in 2011. Dividends declared during 2013 amounted to 54.7% of net income compared to 41.5% and 41.0% of net income for 2012 and 2011, respectively. Management seeks to continue generating sufficient capital internally, while continuing to pay adequate dividends to the Corporation’s shareholders.
When shares of the Corporation become available in the market, we may purchase them after careful consideration of the Corporation’s liquidity and capital positions. Purchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management. On November 16, 2011, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a one year extension of the stock repurchase program that had been initially approved on November 18, 2009 and extended for one year on November 17, 2010. The extension authorized the purchase of up to 90,000 shares of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock, including those shares purchased during the first two years of the plan. From November 18, 2009 through the expiration of this program on November 16, 2012, a total of 68,564 shares were purchased. Under the expired plan in 2012, the Corporation purchased 25,320 shares at an average cost of $24.96 per share totaling $0.6 million. On December 19, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase plan under which the Corporation may repurchase up to 125,000 shares. During 2013, the Corporation purchased 3,094 shares at a total cost of $93 thousand under the new plan. No shares were purchased under the new plan in 2012.
42
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, the Corporation engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP 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.

Results of Operations 2013 vs. 2012
Net Income
Net income for 2013 was $8.7 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 20.8%, compared with $11.0 million for 2012. Earnings per share for 2013 was $1.87 compared with $2.38 for 2012. Return on average assets and return on average equity for 2013 were 0.67% and 6.50%, respectively, compared with 0.88% and 8.41%, respectively, for 2012.
The decline in 2013 earnings was due primarily to increases of $1.9 million in the provision for loan losses and $2.6 million in non-interest expense, which included $1.4 million in pre-tax branch acquisition costs. Net interest income decreased $0.2 million in 2013. These items were partially offset by a reduction of $1.6 million in income taxes and an increase of $0.9 million in non-interest income. The increase in non-interest income was due primarily to increases of $0.5 million in Wealth Management Group fee income, $0.5 million in services charges on deposit accounts and a gain of $0.5 million from the branch acquisition. These items were offset by the 2012 pre-tax casualty gain of $0.8 million from insurance reimbursements related to the September 2011 flooding of the Owego and Tioga offices.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, which is the difference between the income we receive on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities and the interest we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, is the largest contributor to our earnings.
For 2013, net interest income totaled $46.6 million, a slight decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.5%, compared with $46.8 for 2012, and the net interest margin was 3.85% for 2013 compared with 4.07% for 2012. The decline in net interest income was due primarily to margin compression evidenced by a 34 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 16 basis point decline in the cost of funds and an increase of $59.3 million in average earning assets. The decline in net interest margin was due primarily to yields on interest-earning assets decreasing at a faster rate than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in yield on interest-earning assets was attributable to lower loan yields as loans continue to reprice at current market rates. In addition, the Corporation anticipated a decline in the yield on interest-earning assets due in part to its investment of cash from the branch acquisition into investment securities.
For 2013, total average funding liabilities, including non-interest-bearing demand deposits, increased $46.5 million, or 4.2%, to $1.160 billion compared to 2012. The growth was primarily due to increases of $49.6 million in average savings and money market deposits and $18.4 million in demand deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $26.9 million in time deposits. While average interest-bearing liabilities increased $28.1 million, or 3.4%, interest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 22.9%, as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 16 basis points to 0.47%.
Provision for Loan Losses
For 2013 the provision for loan loss expense totaled $2.8 million compared to $0.8 million for 2012. The increase was due principally to the establishment of $0.9 million in additional specific reserves on three commercial loans, loan portfolio growth and net charge-offs.
44
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for 2013 was $18.1 million compared with $17.2 million for 2012, an increase of $0.9 million, or 5.2%. The increase was due primarily to a gain of $0.5 million from the branch acquisition and increases of $0.5 million in Wealth Management Group fee income and $0.5 million in service charges on deposit accounts. These items were partially offset by reductions of $0.8 million in casualty gains from insurance reimbursements related to the September 2011 flooding of the Owego and Tioga offices and $0.3 million in net gain on securities transactions.
Current assets under management or administration of the Corporation’s Wealth Management Group include investment, trust and retirement-related business lines. The market value of total assets under management or administration in the Wealth Management Group were $1.888 billion at December 31, 2013, compared with $1.735 billion at December 31, 2012, an increase of $153.0 million, or 8.8%. As a result, Wealth Management Group fee income increased for 2013, as the Wealth Management Group’s efforts were focused on programs that include a private banking program with financial planning capabilities, to serve the financial needs of high net worth individuals, and an enhanced retirement services program to increase the number of plans under management and fee income.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for 2013 was $49.4 million compared with $46.8 million for 2012, an increase of $2.6 million, or 5.6%. Excluding $1.4 million in pre-tax branch acquisition costs from 2013, non-interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 2.7% for 2013. This increase was due primarily to increases of $0.4 million in salaries and wages, $0.3 million in pension and other employee benefits, $0.3 million in net occupancy expense and $0.3 million in data processing costs. These items were partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in professional services related to consultant fees.
Included in the increase in salaries and wages was $0.1 million related to the branch acquisition, and the remainder to compensation expense related to merit increases and incentive compensation. The increase in pension and other employee benefits was primarily due to higher pension and retirement costs. The increase in net occupancy was due primarily to higher depreciation and rent expense, both related to the Bank of America branch acquisition. The increase in data processing expenses was primarily due to higher software maintenance fees and telephone data lines related to the branch acquisition.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for 2013 was $3.8 million compared with $5.4 million for 2012, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 29.0%. Income tax expense reflects an effective tax rate of 30.4% for 2013 compared with 32.8% for 2012, due primarily to lower pre-tax income and an increase in the relative percentage of tax exempt income to pre-tax income.
45
Results of Operations 2012 vs. 2011
Net Income
Net income for 2012 was $11.0 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 4.6%, compared with $10.5 million for 2011. Earnings per share for 2012 was $2.38 compared with $2.40 for 2011. Return on average assets and return on average equity for 2012 were 0.88% and 8.41%, respectively, compared with 0.90% and 8.77%, respectively, for 2011.
The improvement in 2012 earnings was due primarily to a $3.0 million increase in net interest income and a $2.2 million decrease in pre-tax one-time merger transaction costs, both related to the FOFC acquisition in April 2011. In addition, the Corporation recognized $0.8 million in pre-tax casualty gains from insurance reimbursements related to the September 2011 flooding of the Owego and Tioga offices. These items were partially offset by increases of $1.8 million in salaries and wages, $0.8 million in pension and other employee benefits, $0.5 million in data processing expenses, $0.5 million in professional services, $0.4 million in income taxes and a $0.8 million reduction in net gains on securities transactions.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, which is the difference between the income we receive on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities and the interest we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, is the largest contributor to our earnings.
For 2012, net interest income totaled $46.8 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 6.7%, compared with $43.9 for 2011, and the net interest margin remained level with the prior year at 4.07%. The increase in net interest income reflects a higher level of average earning assets due in large part to the FOFC acquisition, organic growth in the Albany region and a 21 basis point decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 17 basis point decrease in the yield on average earning assets. Average earning assets increased $72.0 million, or 6.7%, as an increase in average loans totaling $103.3 million was partially offset by a $27.1 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions. Included in the growth in average loans and investment securities are the Capital Bank division’s assets for a full year in 2012 compared with nine months in 2011. Due to the increase in average earning assets, total interest and dividend income increased $1.4 million, or 2.8%, despite a 17 basis point decrease in yield to 4.53%.
For 2012, total average funding liabilities, including non-interest-bearing demand deposits, increased $67.0 million, or 6.4%, to $1.113 billion compared to 2011. The growth was primarily due to an increase of $77.5 million in average deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $10.6 million in borrowings. Average non-interest bearing deposits increased $40.6 million and average interest-bearing deposits increased $36.9 million. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was reflected principally in a $65.8 million increase in average IMMA balances and a $16.8 million increase in average NOW accounts. These increases were partially offset by a $38.2 million decrease in average time deposits and a $7.5 million decrease in average savings balances. While average interest-bearing liabilities increased $26.3 million, or 3.3%, interest expense decreased $1.5 million, or 22.1%, as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 21 basis points to 0.64%.
Provision for Loan Losses
For 2012 the provision for loan loss expense totaled $0.8 million compared to $1.0 million for 2011. The decrease was due principally to the improvement in the volume of non-performing loans, resulting in a reduction in allocations to the allowance for loan losses related to these loans, which was offset in part by loan portfolio growth and allowances for this growth after consideration of the factors discussed above.
46
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for 2012 was $17.2 million compared with $17.5 million for 2011. The slight decline was primarily due to decreases of $0.8 million in net gain on securities transactions and $0.6 million in revenue from the Corporation’s equity investment in Cephas Capital Partners, L.P. (“Cephas”). The decrease in revenue from Cephas was due in large part to a gain recognized during the first quarter of 2011 on the exercise of stock warrants held in one of their investments. These items were partially offset by $0.8 million in casualty gains from insurance reimbursements related to the September 2011 flooding of the Owego and Tioga offices and a $0.3 million increase in net gain on sale of loans held for sale.
Current assets under management or administration of the Corporation’s Wealth Management Group include investment, trust and retirement-related business lines. However, consistent with the banking industry as a whole, the Wealth Management Group experienced a decline in trust-related business over the last several years while investment and retirement-related business lines have grown. As a result, Wealth Management Group fee income for 2012 had only a small increase compared to 2011. The challenge for the Wealth Management Group is to grow assets under management and fee income under the current weak economic conditions. The Wealth Management Group’s efforts will be focused on programs that include a private banking program with financial planning capabilities, to serve the financial needs of high net worth individuals, and an enhanced retirement services program to increase the number of plans under management and fee income.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for 2012 was $46.8 million compared with $44.8 million for 2011, an increase of $2.0 million, or 4.6%. Excluding $2.3 million in merger related expenses from 2011, non-interest expense increased $4.3 million, or 10.1% for 2012. This increase was primarily due to increases of $1.8 million in salaries and wages, $0.8 million in pension and other employee benefits, $0.5 million in data processing expenses and $0.5 million in professional services. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to the operation of the Capital Bank division for twelve months during 2012 compared with nine months during 2011, and additional compensation expense related to merit increases and incentive compensation. The increase in pension and other employee benefits was primarily due to higher pension costs, health benefits and payroll taxes. The increase in data processing expenses was primarily due to higher hardware and software maintenance fees and check card processing costs that included conversion costs for a new processor. The increase in professional services was due primarily to consultant fees.
Income Taxes
For 2012, a $0.4 million increase in income tax expense reflects a $0.8 million increase in pre-tax income, and an increase in the effective tax rate to 32.8% from 32.3%, due primarily to a decrease in the relative percentage of tax exempt income to pre-tax income.

CHANGES DUE TO VOLUME AND RATE
Net interest income can be analyzed in terms of the impact of changes in rates and volumes. Table 14 illustrates the extent to which changes in interest rates and in the volume of average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Corporation’s interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) the net changes. For purposes of this table, changes that are not due solely to volume or rate changes have been allocated to these categories based on the respective percentage changes in average volume and rate. Due to the numerous simultaneous volume and rate changes during the periods analyzed, it is not possible to precisely allocate changes between volume and rates. In addition, average earning assets include non-accrual loans and no tax equivalent adjustments were made.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
For a discussion of the impact of accounting standards adopted during 2013, please see Note 1 to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements that commence on page F-9.

Interest Rate Risk
Management considers interest rate risk to be the most significant market risk for the Corporation. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the net income of the Corporation as a result of changes in interest rates.
The Corporation’s primary earnings source is net interest income, which is affected by changes in the level of interest rates, the relationship between rates, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments, the level and composition of deposits and liabilities, and credit quality of earning assets.
The Corporation’s objectives in its asset and liability management are to maintain a strong, stable net interest margin, to utilize its capital effectively without taking undue risks, to maintain adequate liquidity, and to reduce vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates. The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) has the strategic responsibility for setting the policy guidelines on acceptable exposure to interest rate risk. These guidelines contain specific measures and limits regarding the risks, which are monitored on a regular basis. The ALCO is made up of the president and chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the asset liability management officer, and other officers representing key functions.
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, with appropriate floors set for interest-bearing liabilities. At December 31, 2013, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 10.29% and an immediate 200-basis point increase would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 8.71%. Both are within the Corporation's policy guideline of 15%. Given the overall low level of current interest rates and the unlikely event of a 200-basis point decline from this point, management additionally modeled an immediate 100-basis point decline and an immediate 300-basis point increase in interest rates. When applied, it is estimated these scenarios would result in negative impacts to net interest income of 4.58% and 13.09%, respectively.
A related component of interest rate risk is the expectation that the market value of the Corporation’s 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 December 31, 2013, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the market value of the Corporation’s capital account by 6.63% and an immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would negatively impact the market value by 5.09%. Both are within the Corporation’s policy guideline of 15%. Management also modeled the impact to the market value of the Corporation’s 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 the Corporation’s capital of 3.44% and 8.02%, respectively.
Management does recognize the need for certain hedging strategies during periods of anticipated higher fluctuations in interest rates and the Funds Management Policy provides for limited use of certain derivatives in asset liability management. These strategies were not employed during 2013.
Credit Risk
The Corporation manages credit risk consistent with state and federal laws governing the making of loans through written policies and procedures; loan review to identify loan problems at the earliest possible time; collection procedures (continued even after a loan is charged off); an adequate allowance for loan losses; and continuing education and training to ensure lending expertise. Diversification by loan product is maintained through offering commercial loans, 1-4 family mortgages, and a full range of consumer loans.
50
The Corporation monitors its loan portfolio carefully. The Loan Committee of the Corporation's Board of Directors is designated to receive required loan reports, oversee loan policy, and approve loans above authorized individual and Senior Loan Committee lending limits. The Senior Loan Committee, consisting of the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Administrative and Risk Officer (non-voting member), business client division manager, retail client division manager, commercial loan manager, consumer loan manager, mortgage loan manager, and the President and commercial loan manager of the Capital Bank division, implements the Board-approved loan policy.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure 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 December 31, 2013. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as a result of the material weakness that existed in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting below
.
(b) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We, as members of management of the Corporation, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Corporation's management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Corporation's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Corporation, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Corporation are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Corporation, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Corporation's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
51
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
As of December 31, 2013 management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in the "1992 Internal Control-Integrated Framework," issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, we identified a material weakness in the identification and evaluation of troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2013. The process surrounding the identification of troubled debt restructurings is to include the completion of a checklist which guides the identification process for all loans modified, renewed or extended which meet certain credit grade and principal balance criteria. A control to identify all loans which may be subject to a checklist had not been implemented. A key control has been implemented and will be tested for effectiveness in 2014.
This material weakness did not result in a misstatement in the Corporation’s quarterly or annual financial statements for 2013. However, as a result of this material weakness, management has concluded that the Corporation did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.
Crowe Horwath LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, which audited the Corporation's 2013 consolidated financial statements included in this report, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the material weakness described above, there have been no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting during the most recent quarter ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.
(d) Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In response to the material weakness, management will improve its process of identifying and evaluating troubled debt restructurings in order to remediate the material weakness. Currently, management of the Corporation anticipates providing additional guidance and strengthening processes regarding the identification and evaluation of troubled debt restructurings, within our loan underwriting and credit administration functions, and providing additional training to our loan underwriting and credit administration staff.
These improvements are targeted at strengthening the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting and to remediate the material weakness. The Corporation remains committed to a strong internal control environment.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Chemung Financial Corporation
Elmira, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chemung Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. We also have audited Chemung Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Chemung Financial Corporation’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting as disclosed in Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on Chemung Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting as disclosed in Item 9A. Procedures and controls related to the identification of modified loans as troubled debt restructurings are not operating effectively. The process surrounding the identification of troubled debt restructurings is to include the completion of a checklist which guides the identification process for all loans modified, renewed or extended which meet certain credit grade and principal balance criteria. A control to identify all loans which may be subject to a checklist had not been implemented. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2013 financial statements, and this matter did not affect our opinion on those financial statements.
In our opinion, because of the effects of the material weakness described above, Chemung Financial Corporation has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chemung Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

|
FASB: Financial Accounting Standards Board
|
OTTI: Other-than-temporary impairment
|
|
FDIC: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
|
PCI: Purchased credit impaired
|
|
FHLBNY: Federal Home Loan Bank of New York
|
SEC: Securities and Exchange Commission
|
|
GAAP: U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
|
CDO: Collateralized Debt Obligation
|
ORGANIZATION
Chemung Financial Corporation (the "Corporation"), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the "Bank") and CFS Group, Inc., provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary and other financial services to its clients. The Corporation is subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair value of financial instruments, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities and goodwill and other intangibles are particularly subject to change.
SECURITIES
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. If management has the intent and the Corporation has the ability at the time of purchase to hold securities until maturity, they are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time or not intended to be held to maturity are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as available for sale are excluded from earnings and are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity, net of the related tax effects, until realized. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method.
Management evaluates securities for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) 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. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
F-9
In order to determine OTTI for purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were not highly rated, 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.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment of yield using the interest method. Dividend and interest income is recognized when collected.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK AND FEDERAL RESERVE BANK STOCK
The Bank is a member of both the FHLBNY and the FRBNY. FHLBNY members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, while FRBNY members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on a percentage of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus. FHLBNY and FRBNY stock are carried at cost and classified as non-marketable equities and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Cash dividends are reported as income.
BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE
Bank Owned Life Insurance ("BOLI") is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contracts at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. Changes in the cash surrender value are recorded in other income.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Certain mortgage loans are originated with the intent to sell. Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Loans held for sale, as well as the commitments to sell the loans that are originated for sale, are regularly evaluated for changes in fair value. If necessary, a valuation allowance is established with a charge to income for unrealized losses attributable to a change in market rates.
LOANS
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal balance net of deferred origination fees and costs and unearned income. Additionally, recorded investment in loans includes interest receivable on loans. The Corporation has the ability and intent to hold its loans for the foreseeable future. The Corporation’s loan portfolio, including acquired loans, is comprised of the following segments: (i) commercial and agricultural, (ii) commercial mortgages, (iii) residential mortgages, and (iv) consumer loans.
Commercial and agricultural loans primarily consist of loans to small to mid-sized businesses in the Corporation’s market area in a diverse range of industries. These loans are typically made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. Commercial mortgage loans are generally non-owner occupied commercial properties or owner occupied commercial real estate with larger balances. Repayment of these loans is often dependent upon the successful operation and management of the properties and the businesses occupying the properties, as well as on the collateral securing the loan. Residential mortgage loans are generally made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from their employment and other income, but are secured by real property. Consumer loans include home equity lines of credit and home equity loans, which exhibit many of the same characteristics as residential mortgages. Indirect and other consumer loans are typically secured by depreciable assets, such as automobiles or boats, and are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability.
F-10
Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations using the interest method. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued and previously accrued interest is reversed when loans become 90 days delinquent. Loans may also be placed on non-accrual status if management believes such classification is otherwise warranted. All payments received on non accrual loans are applied to principal. Loans are returned to accrual status when they become current as to principal and interest and remain current for a period of six consecutive months or when, in the opinion of management, the Corporation expects to receive all of its original principal and interest. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield, using the interest method.
ACQUIRED LOANS
Non-Impaired Acquired Loans:
Loans acquired are initially recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. After acquisition, losses beyond those estimated in determining the initial fair value are recognized through the allowance for loan losses. Determining fair value of the loans involves estimating the amount and timing of expected principal and interest cash flows to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market interest rate.
Purchased Credit Impaired Loans:
Loans acquired that show evidence of credit deterioration since origination are considered purchased credit impaired loans These loans are recorded at the fair value of the amount paid, such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses.
Such purchased loans are accounted for individually. The Corporation estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each purchased loan and the expected cash flows in excess of amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan (accretable yield). The excess of the loan’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded (nonaccretable difference).
After acquisition, losses are recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Over the life of the loan expected cash flows continue to be estimated. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a reserve is established. If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income. These loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of all or a portion of the principal is unlikely.
TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS
Troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) is a formally renegotiated loan in which the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that would not have been granted to the borrower otherwise. Not all loans that are restructured as a TDR are classified as non-accrual before the restructuring occurs. Restructured loans can convert from non-accrual to accrual status when said loans have demonstrated performance, generally evidenced by six months of payment performance in accordance with the restructured terms, or by the presence of other significant items.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans. The allowance is established based on management’s evaluation of the probable inherent losses in our portfolio in accordance with GAAP, and is comprised of both specific valuation allowances and general valuation allowances.
F-11
A loan is classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect both the principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Specific valuation allowances are established based on management’s analyses of individually impaired loans. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, evaluations of the underlying collateral, expected cash flows, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. If a loan is determined to be impaired and is placed on nonaccrual status, all future payments received are applied to principal and a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. Loans not impaired but classified as substandard and special mention use a historical loss factor on a rolling five year history of net losses. For all other unclassified loans, the historical loss experience is determined by portfolio class and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Corporation over the most recent two years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio class. These qualitative factors include consideration of the following: (1) lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off and recovery policies, (2) national and local economic and business conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments, (3) loan profiles and volume of the portfolio, (4) the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff, (5) the volume and severity of past due, classified and watch-list loans, non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, and other modifications (6) the quality of the Bank’s loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Bank’s Board of Directors, (7) collateral related issues: secured vs. unsecured, type, declining valuation environment and trend of other related factors, (8) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations, (9) the effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the Bank’s current portfolio and (10) the impact of the global economy.
The allowance for loan losses is increased through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of all or a portion of the principal is unlikely. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is performed on a periodic basis and takes into consideration such factors as the credit risk grade assigned to the loan, historical loan loss experience and review of specific impaired loans. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Land is carried at cost, while buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and furniture are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is charged to current operations under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 15 to 50 years for buildings and from 3 to 10 years for equipment and furniture. Amortization of leasehold improvements and leased equipment is recognized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated life of the asset.
OTHER REAL ESTATE
Real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at estimated fair value of the property less estimated costs to dispose at the time of acquisition to establish a new carrying value. Write downs from the carrying value of the loan to estimated fair value which are required at the time of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values of such properties resulting from declines in fair value are charged to operations in the period in which the declines occur.
F-12
INCOME TAXES
The Corporation files a consolidated tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for unused tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled, or the tax loss carry forwards are expected to be utilized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT GROUP FEE INCOME
Assets held in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, since such assets are not assets of the Corporation. Wealth Management Group income is recognized on the accrual method as earned based on contractual rates applied to the balances of individual trust accounts. The unaudited market value of trust assets under administration total $1.888 billion at December 31, 2013 and $1.735 billion at December 31, 2012.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Pension Plan:
The Chemung Canal Trust Company Pension Plan is a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan. The Pension Plan is a “qualified plan” under the IRS Code and therefore must be funded. Contributions are deposited to the Plan and held in trust. The Plan assets may only be used to pay retirement benefits and eligible plan expenses. The plan was amended such that new employees hired on or after July 10, 2010 will not be eligible to participate in the plan, however, existing participants at that time will continue to accrue benefits. The amendment has resulted in a decrease over time in the future benefit obligations of the plan and the corresponding net periodic benefit cost associated with the plan.
Under the Plan, pension benefits are based upon final average annual compensation where the annual compensation is total base earnings paid plus 401(k) salary deferrals. Bonuses, overtime, commissions and dividends are excluded. The normal retirement benefit equals 1.2% of final average compensation (highest consecutive five years of annual compensation in the prior ten years) times years of service (up to a maximum of 25 years), plus 1% of average monthly compensation for each additional year of service (up to a maximum of 10 years), plus .65% of average monthly compensation in excess of covered compensation for each year of credited service up to 35 years. Covered compensation is the average of the social security taxable wage bases in effect for the 35 year period prior to normal social security retirement age. Compensation for purposes of determining benefits under the Plan is reviewed annually.
Defined Contribution Profit Sharing, Savings and Investment Plan:
The Corporation also sponsors a 401(K) defined contribution profit sharing, savings and investment plan which covers all eligible employees with a minimum of 1,000 hours of annual service. The Corporation makes non-discretionary contributions and discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions to the plan based on the financial results of the Corporation. The plan's assets consist of Chemung Financial Corporation common stock, as well as other common and preferred stocks, U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds and notes, and mutual funds. The plan’s expense is the amount of non-discretionary contributions and discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions, and is charged to other expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
F-13
Defined Benefit Health Care Plan:
The Corporation sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that provides postretirement medical benefits to employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. This plan was amended effective July 1, 2006. Prior to this amendment, all retirees age 55 or older were eligible for coverage under the Corporation's self-insured health care plan, contributing 40% of the cost of the coverage. Under the amended plan, coverage for Medicare eligible retirees who reside in the Central New York geographic area is provided under a group sponsored plan with Excellus BlueCross BlueShield called Medicare Blue PPO, with the retiree paying 100% of the premium. Excellus BlueCross BlueShield assumes full liability for the payment of health care benefits incurred after July 1, 2006. Current Medicare eligible retirees who reside outside of the Central New York geographic area were eligible for coverage under the Corporation's self insurance plan thru December 31, 2009, contributing 50% of the cost of coverage. Effective January 1, 2010, these out of area retirees were eligible for coverage under a Medicare Supplement Plan C administered by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, contributing 50% of the premium. Current and future retirees between the ages of 55 and 65, will continue to be eligible for coverage under the Corporation's self insured plan, contributing 50% of the cost of the coverage. Employees who retire after July 1, 2006, and become Medicare eligible will only have access to the Medicare Blue PPO plan. Additionally, effective July 1, 2006, dental benefits were eliminated for all retirees. The cost of the plan is based on actuarial computations of current and future benefits for employees, and is charged to other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Executive Supplemental Pension Plan:
U.S. laws place limitations on compensation amounts that may be included under the Pension Plan. The Executive Supplemental Pension Plan is provided to executives in order to produce total retirement benefits, as a percentage of compensation that is comparable to employees whose compensation is not restricted by the annual compensation limit. Pension amounts, which exceed the applicable Internal Revenue Service code limitations, will be paid under the Executive Supplemental Pension Plan.
The Executive Supplemental Pension Plan is a “non-qualified plan” under the Internal Revenue Service Code. Contributions to the Plan are not held in trust; therefore, they may be subject to the claims of creditors in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. When payments come due under the Plan, cash is distributed from general assets.
The cost of the plan is based on actuarial computations of current and future benefits for executives, and is charged to other operating expense in the consolidated statements of income.
Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan:
The Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan is provided to certain executives to motivate and retain key management employees by providing a nonqualified retirement benefit that is payable at retirement, disability, death and certain other events. The Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan will deliver a retirement benefit comparable to that received by other executive officers participating in the bank’s Defined Benefit Plan.
The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees under Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The plan’s expense is the Corporation’s annual contribution plus interest credits.
F-14
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Restricted Stock Plan:
The Restricted Stock Plan, in effect as of June 16, 2010, is designed to align the interests of the Corporation’s executives and senior managers with the interests of the Corporation and its shareholders, to ensure the Corporation’s compensation practices are competitive and comparable with those of its peers, and to promote the retention of select management-level employees. Under the terms of the Plan, the Corporation may make discretionary grants of restricted shares of the Corporation’s common stock to or for the benefit of employees selected to participate in the Plan. Each officer of the Corporation, other than the Corporation’s chief executive officer, is eligible to participate in the Plan. Awards are based on the performance, responsibility and contributions of the employee and are targeted at an average of the peer group. The maximum number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock that may be awarded as restricted shares to Plan participants may not exceed fifteen thousand (15,000) per calendar year. Twenty percent of the restricted stock awarded to a participant vests each year commencing with the first anniversary date of the award and is 100 percent vested on the fifth anniversary date. Except in the case of the participant’s death, disability, or in the event of a change in control, the participant’s unvested shares of unrestricted stock will be forfeited if the participant leaves the employ of the Corporation or the Bank, with or without cause, or if the participant retires prior to attainment of age 65. The plan’s expense is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period for the fair value of the award, measured at the grant date.
Deferred Directors Fee Plan:
A Deferred Directors Fee Plan for non-employee directors provides that directors may elect to defer receipt of all or any part of their fees. Deferrals are either credited with interest compounded quarterly at the Applicable Federal Rate for short-term debt instruments or converted to units, which appreciate or depreciate, as would an actual share of the Corporation’s common stock purchased on the deferral date. Cash deferrals will be paid into an interest bearing account and paid in cash. Units will be paid in shares of common stock. All directors’ fees are charged to other operating expense in the consolidated statements of income.
Directors’ Compensation Plan:
The purpose of the Directors’ Compensation Plan is to enable the Corporation to attract and retain persons of exceptional ability to serve as directors and stockholders in enhancing the value of the common stock of the Corporation. The Plan was originally established to provide for the cash payment of an annual retainer and fees to non-employee directors serving on the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank. The Plan was subsequently amended to provide: (i) payment of additional compensation to each non-employee director in shares of the Corporation’s common stock in an amount equal to the total cash compensation earned by each non-employee director during the year for service on the Board of Directors of each of the Corporation and the Bank, and for each year of service thereafter, to be distributed from treasury shares in January of the following calendar year; and (ii) payment to the President and CEO of the Corporation and the Bank for his service on the Boards of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank in an amount equal in value to the average cash compensation awarded to non-employee directors who have served twelve (12) months of the previous year. The maximum number of shares of Corporation’s common stock that may be granted under the Plan may not exceed twenty thousand (20,000) per year. The Plan was amended, effective January 1, 2012, to provide that the value of a share of common stock granted under the Plan shall be determined as the average of the closing prices of a share of common stock as quoted on the applicable established securities market for each of the prior thirty (30) trading days ending on December 31
st
of the calendar year. The cost of all cash and stock compensation is charged to other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
F-15
Incentive Compensation Plan:
The Incentive Compensation Plan replaces the President and CEO Bonus Plan that was in effect prior to January 1, 2012. The purpose of the Incentive Compensation Plan is to attract and retain highly qualified officers and key employees, and to motivate such persons to serve the Corporation and the Bank and to expend maximum effort to improve the business results and earnings of the Corporation by providing to such persons an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in the operations and future success of the Corporation. To this end, the Incentive Compensation Plan provides for the discretionary grant of cash and/or unrestricted stock, i.e., common stock of the Corporation that is free of any restrictions, such as restrictions on transferability, to select officers and key employees as designated by the Board in its sole discretion. The maximum number of shares that can be awarded as unrestricted stock under the Incentive Compensation Plan to any individual is ten thousand (10,000) per calendar year; and the maximum amount that may be earned in cash as an Incentive Award in any calendar year by any individual is $300,000. The right of any eligible employee to receive a grant of an incentive award, whether in the form of cash or unrestricted stock, is subject to performance standards that are specified by either the Compensation Committee or the Board. The cost of all cash and unrestricted stock compensation is charged to other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan:
The Deferred Compensation Plan allows a select group of management and employees to defer all or a portion of their annual compensation to a future date. Eligible employees are generally highly compensated employees and are designated by the Board from time to time. Investments in the plan are recorded as trading assets and deferred amounts are an unfunded liability of the Corporation. The plan requires deferral elections be made before the beginning of the calendar year during which the participant will perform the services to which the compensation relates. Participants in the Plan are required to elect a form of distribution, either lump sum payment or annual installments not to exceed ten years, and a time of distribution, either a specified age or a specified date. The terms and conditions for the deferral of compensation are subject to the provisions of 409A of the IRS Code. The income from investments and cost of the plan are recorded as other operating income and other operating expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statements of income.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill resulting from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill resulting from business combinations after January 1, 2009, is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Corporation has selected December 31 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The balances are reviewed for impairment on an ongoing basis or whenever events or changes in business circumstances warrant a review of the carrying value. If impairment is determined to exist, the related write-down of the intangible asset's carrying value is charged to operations. Based on these impairment reviews, the Corporation determined that goodwill and other intangible assets were not impaired at December 31, 2013.
The Corporation's intangible assets with definite useful lives resulted from the purchase of the trust business of Partners Trust Bank in May of 2007, the acquisition of three former M&T Bank branch offices in March 2008, the acquisition of Canton Bancorp, Inc. in May 2009, the acquisition of Fort Orange Financial Corp. in April 2011 and the acquisition of six branches of Bank of America in November of 2013, with balances of $2,719,873, $86,862, $17,547, $1,443,014 and $2,109,781, respectively, at December 31, 2013. The trust business intangible is being amortized to expense over the expected useful life of 15 years. The identifiable core deposit and customer relationship intangibles related to the M&T branch offices, and Canton Bancorp, Inc. acquisitions are being amortized to expense using a 7.25 year accelerated method. The identifiable core deposit related to the branch offices in the Bank of America acquisition is being amortized to expense using a 7 year accelerated method. The identifiable core deposit intangible related to the FOFC acquisition is being amortized using a 10 year sum-of-the-years digits method.
F-16
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Issuable shares including those related to directors’ restricted stock units and directors’ stock compensation are considered outstanding and are included in the computation of basic earnings per share as they are earned. All outstanding unvested share based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation. Restricted stock awards are grants of participating securities. The impact of the participating securities on earnings per share is not material. Earnings per share information is adjusted to present comparative results for stock splits and stock dividends that occur.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and changes in the funded status of the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plan and other benefit plans, net of the related tax effect, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions.
TRADING ASSETS
Securities that are held to fund a non-qualified deferred compensation plan are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings.
SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE
The Corporation enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase. The agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of the securities underlying the agreements continues to be carried in the Corporation's securities portfolio. The Corporation has agreed to repurchase securities identical to those sold. The securities underlying the agreements are under the Corporation's control.
OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation is a party to certain other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk such as unused portions of lines of credit and commitments to fund new loans. The Corporation's policy is to record such instruments when funded.
SEGMENT REPORTING
The Corporation has identified separate operating segments and internal financial information is primarily reported and aggregated in two lines of business, banking and wealth management services.
RECLASSIFICATION
Amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform with the current year's presentation.
F-17
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Corporation owned one CDO consisting of a pool of trust preferred securities at December 31, 2013. This CDO was liquidated and the Corporation will record in the other operating income category approximately $0.5 million during the first quarter of 2014. The Corporation does not own any other CDO’s in its investment securities portfolio.
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2013-02 amends recent guidance related to the reporting of comprehensive income to enhance the transparency of the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2013 and did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements. The additional disclosures are included in Note 18 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income or Loss.
(2) RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANK ACCOUNTS
The Corporation was in compliance with the reserve requirement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of December 31, 2013.
The Corporation also maintains a pre-funded settlement account with a financial institution in the amount of $1,213,000 for electronic funds transaction settlement purposes at December 31, 2013.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment
As of December 31, 2013, the majority of the Corporation’s unrealized losses in the investment securities portfolio related to obligations of U.S. Government and U.S. Government sponsored enterprises and mortgage-backed securities. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Corporation does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not likely that it will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Corporation sold one CDO consisting of a pool of trust preferred securities that had an amortized cost of $600,000. Total proceeds from the sale of this CDO was $600,000 resulting in no gains or losses. The Corporation recognized $29,025 of additional credit loss in OTTI during 2013. This CDO was sold in light of the uncertainty surrounding the recently released rules contained in the “Volcker Rule” regarding the ability of banks to hold these types of securities and based on current market conditions.
The table below presents a roll forward of the cumulative credit losses recognized in earnings for the periods ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2013:

The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $107,727 and resulted in no charge offs during the year ended December 31, 2013. The troubled debt restructurings described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses and resulted in no charge offs during the year ending December 31, 2012.
There were no payment defaults on any loans previously modified as troubled debt restructurings during the years ended December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012, within twelve months following the modification. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Corporation establishes a risk rating at origination for all commercial loans. The main factors considered in assigning risk ratings include, but are not limited to: historic and future debt service coverage, collateral position, operating performance, liquidity, leverage, payment history, management ability, and the customer’s industry. Commercial relationship managers monitor all loans in their respective portfolios for any changes in the borrower’s ability to service their debt and affirm the risk ratings for the loans at least annually.
For the retail loans, which include lines of credit, installment, mortgage, and home equity loans, once a loan is properly approved and closed, the Corporation evaluates credit quality based upon loan repayment.
The Corporation uses the risk rating system to identify criticized and classified loans. Commercial relationships within the criticized and classified risk ratings are analyzed quarterly. The Corporation uses the following definitions for criticized and classified loans (which are consistent with regulatory guidelines):
Special Mention
– Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position as some future date.
Substandard
– Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capability of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful
– Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be not rated loans. Based on the analyses performed as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the risk category of the recorded investment of loans by class of loans is as follows:

At the time of the merger with Fort Orange Financial Corp., the Corporation identified certain loans with evidence of deteriorated credit quality, and the probability that the Corporation would be unable to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower. These loans are classified as PCI loans. The Corporation adjusted its estimates of future expected losses, cash flows, and renewal assumptions on the PCI loans during the current year. These adjustments were made for changes in expected cash flows due to loans refinanced beyond original maturity dates, impairments recognized subsequent to the acquisition, advances made for taxes or insurance to protect collateral held and payments received in excess of amounts originally expected.
F-29
The table below summarizes the changes in total contractually required principal and interest cash payments, management’s estimate of expected total cash payments and carrying value of the PCI loans from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013:

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or the existence of sufficient taxable income within the loss carryback period. A valuation allowance is recognized when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers the scheduled reversal of the deferred tax assets, the level of historical taxable income and projected future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets will be deductible. Based on its assessment, management determined that no valuation allowance is necessary.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest) is as follows:

(11) PENSION PLAN AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
Pension Plan
The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. The plan's defined benefit formula generally bases payments to retired employees upon their length of service multiplied by a percentage of the average monthly pay over the last five years of employment.
The Corporation uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension plan.
The Corporation amended the Defined Benefit Pension Plan during 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. The amendment will result in a decrease over time in the future benefit obligations of the plan and the corresponding net periodic benefit cost associated with the plan.
The following table presents (1) changes in the plan's projected benefit obligation and plan assets, and (2) the plan's funded status at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

The Corporation changes important assumptions whenever changing conditions warrant. The discount rate is evaluated at least annually and the expected long-term return on plan assets will typically be revised every three to five years, or as conditions warrant. Other material assumptions include the compensation increase rates, rates of employee terminations, and rates of participant mortality.
The Corporation's overall investment strategy is to achieve a mix of investments for long-term growth and for near-term benefit payments with a wide diversification of asset types. The target allocations for plan assets are shown in the table below. Equity securities primarily include investments in common or preferred shares of both U.S. and international companies. Debt securities include U.S. Treasury and Government bonds as well as U.S. Corporate bonds. Other investments may consist of mutual funds, money market funds and cash & cash equivalents. While no significant changes in the asset allocations are expected during 2014, the Corporation may make changes at any time.
F-36
The expected return on plan assets was determined based on a Capital Asset Pricing Model ("CAPM") using historical and expected future returns of the various asset classes, reflecting the target allocations described below.

The investment policy of the plan is to provide for long-term growth of principal and income without undue exposure to risk. The focus is on long-term capital appreciation and income generation. The Corporation maintains an Investment Policy Statement ("IPS") that guides the investment allocation in the plan. The IPS describes the target asset allocation positions as shown in the table above.
The Corporation has appointed an Employee Pension and Profit Sharing Committee to manage the general philosophy, objectives and process of the plan. The Employee Pension and Profit Sharing Committee meets with the Investment Manager periodically to review the plan's performance and to ensure that the current investment allocation is within the guidelines set forth in the IPS. Only the Employee Pension and Profit Sharing Committee, in consultation with the Investment Manager, can make adjustments to maintain target ranges and for any permanent changes to the IPS. Quarterly, the Board of Directors' Trust and Employee Benefits Committee reviews the performance of the plan with the Investment Manager.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Corporation's pension plan did not hold any direct investment in the Corporation's common stock.
The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument held by the pension plan:
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy described below requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).
Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.

The fair value of the plan assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, by asset class are as follows:

The Corporation does not expect to contribute to the plan during 2014. Funding requirements for subsequent years are uncertain and will significantly depend on changes in assumptions used to calculate plan funding levels, the actual return on plan assets, changes in the employee groups covered by the plan, and any legislative or regulatory changes affecting plan funding requirements.
F-38
For tax planning, financial planning, cash flow management or cost reduction purposes the Corporation may increase, accelerate, decrease or delay contributions to the plan to the extent permitted by law.
Defined Contribution Profit Sharing, Savings and Investment Plan
The Corporation also sponsors a defined contribution profit sharing, savings and investment plan which covers all eligible employees with a minimum of 1,000 hours of annual service. The Corporation makes discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions to the plan based on the financial results of the Corporation. Expense under the plan totaled $327,584, $322,090, and $331,689 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The plan's assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 include 178,113 and 189,337 shares, respectively, of Chemung Financial Corporation common stock, as well as other common and preferred stocks, U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds and notes, and mutual funds.
The Corporation also contributed $193,192 and $70,995 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, to a non-discretionary 401K plan which covers all eligible employees hired after July 1, 2010.
Defined Benefit Health Care Plan
The Corporation uses a December 31 measurement date for its postretirement medical benefits plan.

Because the total unrecognized net loss in the plan is less than 10% of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, there will be no amortization over the average future working lifetime of active plan participants. As of January 1, 2013 the average future working lifetime of active participants was 14.35 years. Actual results for 2014 will depend on the 2014 actuarial valuation of the plan.

The Corporation’s policy is to contribute the amount required to fund postretirement benefits as they become due to retirees. The amount expected to be required in contributions to the plan during 2014 is $144,000.
Executive Supplemental Pension Plan
The Corporation also sponsors an Executive Supplemental Pension Plan for certain current and former executive officers to restore certain pension benefits that may be reduced due to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. The benefits under this plan are unfunded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The Corporation uses a December 31 measurement date for its Executive Supplemental Pension Plan.

The Corporation expects to contribute $75,000 to the plan during 2014. Corporation contributions are equal to the benefit payments to plan participants.
Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
The Corporation also sponsors a Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for certain current executive officers. The plan is unfunded as of December 31, 2013 and is intended to provide nonqualified deferred compensation benefits payable at retirement, disability, death or certain other events. The plan was initiated in 2012. The balance in the plan as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $336,656 and $181,701, respectively. A total of $154,955 and $181,701 was expensed during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively In addition to each participants account being credited with the annual company contribution, each account will receive a quarterly interest credit that will equal the average yield on five year U.S. Treasury Notes.
(12) STOCK COMPENSATION
Board of Director’s Stock Compensation
Members of the Board of Directors receive common shares of the Corporation equal in value to the amount of fees individually earned during the previous year for service as a director. The common shares are distributed to the Corporation's individual board members from treasury shares of the Corporation on or about January 15 following the calendar year of service.
Additionally, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, who does not receive cash compensation as a member of the Board of Directors, is awarded common shares equal in value to the average of those awarded to board members not employed by the Corporation who have served for 12 months during the prior year.
During January 2014 and 2013, 8,385 and 7,969 shares, respectively, were re-issued from treasury to fund the stock component of the directors' and the president and chief executive officer’s compensation. An expense of $272,729, $216,946 and $232,948 related to this compensation was recognized during the years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This expense is accrued as shares are earned.
F-42
Restricted Stock Plan
Pursuant to the Corporation’s Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”), the Corporation may make discretionary grants of restricted stock to officers other than the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date.
A summary of restricted stock activity as of December 31, 2013, and changes during the year ended is presented below:

(14) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.
The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at year-end were as follows:

Commitments to make Real Estate and Home Equity loans are generally made for periods of sixty days or less. As of December 31, 2013, the fixed rate commitments to make loans have interest rates ranging from 3.625% to 5.375% and maturities ranging from five years to thirty years. Commitments to fund commercial draw notes are generally made for periods of three months to eighteen months. As of December 31, 2013, the fixed rate commitments have interest rates ranging from 3.35% to 5.25%.
Because many commitments and almost all standby letters of credit expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contract amounts are not estimates of future cash flows. Loan commitments and unused lines of credit have off-balance sheet credit risk because only origination fees are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet until commitments are fulfilled or expire. The credit risk amounts are equal to the contractual amounts, assuming the amounts are fully advanced and collateral or other security is of no value. The Corporation does not anticipate losses as a result of these transactions. These commitments also have off-balance sheet interest rate risk in that the interest rate at which these commitments were made may not be at market rates on the date the commitments are fulfilled.
The Corporation has issued conditional commitments in the form of standby letters of credit to guarantee payment on behalf of a customer and guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally arise in connection with lending relationships. The credit risk involved in issuing these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Contingent obligations under standby letters of credit totaled $17,290,453 at December 31, 2013 and represent the maximum potential future payments the Corporation could be required to make. Typically, these instruments have terms of twelve months or less and expire unused; therefore, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer is evaluated individually for creditworthiness under the same underwriting standards used for commitments to extend credit and on-balance sheet instruments. Corporation policies governing loan collateral apply to standby letters of credit at the time of credit extension. The carrying amount and fair value of the Corporation's standby letters of credit at December 31, 2013 was not significant.
The Corporation has an executive severance agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Bank is a party in two legal proceedings involving its Wealth Management Group. In both proceedings, the Bank, as trustee pursuant to written trust instruments, has sought judicial settlement of trust accounts in the New York Surrogate’s Court for Chemung County. Individuals who are beneficiaries under the trusts have filed formal objections and/or demand letters with the Court in both of these accounting proceedings, objecting to the final settlement of the trust accounts. The objectants primarily assert that the Bank acted imprudently by failing to diversify the trusts’ investments and they claim $9.6 million and $24.1 million, consisting of damages and disallowed trustee’s commissions, plus unspecified legal fees in the respective proceedings. These proceedings are pending in the Surrogate’s Court. While the outcome of litigation is not predictable the Bank believes that the claims are without merit and is vigorously defending them. As of December 31, 2013, no amount has been accrued for potential losses related to these proceedings as a potential loss is not considered probable or reasonably estimable in the opinion of management.
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding claims and legal proceedings involving the Corporation or its subsidiaries. Except for the above matter, we believe that we are not a party to any pending legal, arbitration, or regulatory proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our financial results or liquidity.

(16) FAIR VALUES
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2:
Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3:
Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:
Investment Securities:
The fair values of securities available for sale are usually determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs), or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).
The Corporation's investment in collateralized debt obligations consisting of pooled trust preferred securities which are issued by financial institutions were historically priced using Level 2 inputs. The lack of observable inputs and market activity in this class of investments has been significant and resulted in unreliable external pricing. Broker pricing and bid/ask spreads, when available, have varied widely. The once active market has become comparatively inactive. As a result, these investments are now priced using Level 3 inputs.
The Corporation utilizes an external model for pricing these securities. This is the same model used in determining OTTI as further described in Note 3. Information such as historical and current performance of the underlying collateral, deferral/default rates, collateral coverage ratios, break in yield calculations, cash flow projections, liquidity and credit premiums required by a market participant, and financial trend analysis with respect to the individual issuing financial institutions, are utilized in determining individual security valuations. Discount rates were utilized along with the cash flow projections in order to calculate an appropriate fair value. These discount rates were calculated based on industry index rates and adjusted for various credit and liquidity factors. Due to current market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these securities, the market value of the securities is highly sensitive to assumption changes and market volatility.
Trading Assets:
Securities that are held to fund a deferred compensation plan are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. The fair values of trading assets are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).
Impaired Loans
: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value have been partially charged-off or receive specific allocations as part of the allowance for loan loss accounting. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, typically resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.
F-46
Other Real Estate Owned
: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosures are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”) are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Corporation. Once received, appraisals are reviewed for reasonableness of assumptions, approaches utilized, Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and other regulatory compliance, as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Appraisals are generally completed within the previous 12 month period prior to a property being placed into OREO. On impaired loans, appraisal values are adjusted based on the age of the appraisal, the position of the lien, the type of the property and its condition.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ending December 31, 2013 or the year ending December, 31, 2012.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s collateralized debt obligations are probabilities of specific-issuer defaults and deferrals and specific-issuer recovery assumptions. Significant increases in specific-issuer default assumptions or decreases in specific-issuer recovery assumptions would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Conversely, decreases in specific-issuer default assumptions or increases in specific-issuer recovery assumptions would result in a higher fair value measurement. The Corporation treats all interest payment deferrals as defaults and assumes no recoveries on defaults.
The tables below present a reconciliation of all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash, Due From and Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions
For those short-term instruments that generally mature in 90 days or less, the carrying value approximates fair value of which non interest-bearing deposits are classified as Level 1 and interest-bearing deposits with the FHLBNY and FRBNY are classified as Level 1, and time deposits are classified as Level 2.
FHLB and FRB Stock
It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLBNY and FRBNY stock due to restrictions on its transferability.
Loans Receivable
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently, fair values approximate carrying values. The fair values for other loans are estimated through discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality. Loans are classified as Level 3. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price. Loans held for sale are classified as Level 2.
Deposits
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, savings accounts and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying values) and classified as Level 1.
The fair value of certificates of deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of the weighted-average expected monthly maturities and classified as Level 2.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (Repurchase Agreements)
These instruments bear both variable and fixed rates of interest. Therefore, the carrying value approximates fair value for the variable rate instruments and the fair value of fixed rate instruments is based on discounted cash flows to maturity. These are classified as Level 2.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
These instruments bear a stated rate of interest to maturity and, therefore, the fair value is based on discounted cash flows to maturity and classified as Level 2.
Commitments to Extend Credit
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, the counter-party's credit standing and discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of these commitments to extend credit approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees and is not material at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
For these short-term instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value resulting in a classification of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 depending upon the classification of the asset/liability they are associated with.
F-50
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of other financial instruments, at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

(17) REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (all as defined in the applicable regulations). Management believes that, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Corporation and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.
As of December 31, 2013, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's or the Corporation's capital category.
The Corporation’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net income, combined with the retained net income of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements in the table below. During 2014, the Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $8.5 million plus any 2014 net income retained to the date of the dividend declaration.
The actual capital amounts and ratios of the Corporation and the Bank are presented in the following table:

(19) SEGMENT REPORTING
The Corporation manages its operations through two primary business segments: core banking and wealth management services. The core banking segment provides revenues by attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate consumer, commercial, commercial real estate, and residential mortgage loans, primarily in the Corporation’s local markets and to invest in securities. The wealth management services segment provides revenues by providing trust and investment advisory services to clients.
Accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Summarized financial information concerning the Corporation’s reportable segments and the reconciliation to the Corporation’s consolidated results are 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:

Under the terms of the agreement, the Bank purchased the related branch premises and certain performing loans, and assumed the related deposits. The transaction was completed on November 23, 2013. The assets acquired and deposits assumed in the transaction were recorded at their estimated fair values as follows:

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and in certain cases are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to fair values becomes available.
The operating results of the acquired branch offices included in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflect only the amounts from the acquisition date through December 31, 2013.
The core deposit intangible asset of $2,154,670 will be amortized on an accelerated basis over a period of approximately seven years. The time deposit premium of $263,387 will be accreted over the estimated remaining life of the related deposits as a reduction to interest expense.
Preliminary negative goodwill of $469,929 was recorded as a gain from bargain purchase, was calculated as the purchase discount after adjusting for the fair value of net assets acquired.
