The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

Subsequent Events

The Corporation has evaluated events and transactions through the time the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued.  Financial statements are considered issued when they are widely distributed to all shareholders and other financial statement users, or filed with the SEC.  In conjunction with applicable accounting standards, all material subsequent events have been either recognized in the unaudited consolidated financial statements or disclosed in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January, 2014 the FASB issued ASU-2014-04, an amendment to Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40), Reclassification of Residential Real Estate and Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.  The objective of this ASU is to improve reporting by clarifying when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable is derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014.  The Corporation will adopt all provisions of this ASU as of January 1, 2015.  We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.


NOTE 2                                EARNING 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.  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 and are considered outstanding at grant date.    Earnings per share information is adjusted to present comparative results for stock splits and stock dividends that occur.  Earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by 4,677,178 and 4,655,862 weighted average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  There were no dilutive common stock equivalents during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

As of March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation received notice that one CDO consisting of a pool of trust preferred securities was liquidated and recorded $0.5 million in other operating income during the first quarter of 2014.  The Corporation does not own any other CDO’s in its investment securities portfolio.

The tables below present a roll forward of the cumulative credit losses recognized in earnings for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2014 and 2013 (dollars in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Corporation has a recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings of  $7.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively.  There were specific reserves of $0.2 million and $0.3 million allocated for troubled debt restructurings at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  As of March 31, 2014, troubled debt restructurings totaling $6.5 million were accruing interest under the modified terms and $0.8 million were on non-accrual status.  As of December 31, 2013, troubled debt restructurings totaling $6.8 million were accruing interest under the modified terms and $1.1 million were on non-accrual status.  The Corporation has not committed to lend additional amounts as of March 31, 2014 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.  The Corporation had committed additional amounts totaling up to $0.2 million as of December 31, 2013 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: reduced scheduled payments for greater than three months or an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

The troubled debt restructurings described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses and resulted in less than $0.1 million in charge offs during the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by less than $0.1 million and resulted in no charge offs during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

There were no payment defaults on any loans previously modified as troubled debt restructurings during the three months ending March 31, 2014 or March 31, 2013, 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 at 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 pass rated loans.  Loans listed as not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans.  Based on the analyses performed as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the risk category of the recorded investment of loans by class of loans is as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Corporation considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For residential and consumer loan classes, the Corporation also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity.  The following table presents the recorded investment in residential and consumer loans based on payment activity as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

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.

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, 2014 to March 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 5                                FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The 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).

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.

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.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $1.6 million with a valuation allowance of $0.7 million as of March 31, 2014, resulting in $0.3 million decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.  Impaired loans had a principal balance of $2.0 million, with a valuation allowance of $1.0 million as of December 31, 2013, resulting in an increase of $0.9 million in the provision for loan losses for the year ending December 31, 2013.


OREO, which is measured by the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying amount of $0.2 million with no valuation allowance  at March 31, 2014.  There were no write downs for the three–month period ending March 31, 2014.  OREO had a net carrying amount of $0.5 million at December 31, 2013.  The net carrying amount reflects the outstanding balance of $0.7 million, net of a valuation allowance of $0.2 million, at December 31, 2013, which resulted in an immaterial write down for the year ending December 31, 2013.

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

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.

FHLBNY and FRBNY Stock

It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLBNY and FRBNY stock due to restrictions placed 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

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 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

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.

FHLBNY Term 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

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.

NOTE 8                                COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Corporation is 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, overdraft protection and commitments to fund new loans.  In accordance with U.S. GAAP, these financial instruments are not recorded in the financial statements.  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.

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 March 31, 2014, 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.

NOTE 10                      SEGMENT REPORTING

The Corporation manages its operations through two primary business segments:  core banking and wealth management group 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 group 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 (dollars in thousands).

NOTE 11                      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 directors' compensation.  An expense of $56 thousand and $68 thousand related to this compensation was recognized during the three month periods ending March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively.  This expense is accrued as shares are earned.

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 from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 is presented below:

  Forfeited or Cancelled
    -       -  
Nonvested at March 31, 2014
    21,414     $ 27.36  

As of March 31, 2014, there was $543 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the Plan.  The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.95 years.  The total fair value of shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $6 thousand.

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

The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.  Reference should be made to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes, and the Corporation’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 14, 2014, for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.

Forward-looking Statements

This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”).  The Corporation intends its forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in the  PSLRA.  Forward-looking statements are not historical in nature, but instead are based on our assumptions, estimates and projections about future events and trends.  All statements regarding the Corporation's expected financial position and operating results, the Corporation's business strategy, the Corporation's financial plans, forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to the Corporation's industry and similar matters are forward-looking statements.  These statements can sometimes be identified by the Corporation's use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” or “intend.”  The Corporation cannot promise that its expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct.  The Corporation's actual results could be materially different from expectations because of various factors, including changes in economic conditions or interest rates, credit risk, difficulties in managing the Corporation’s growth, competition, changes in law or the regulatory environment, including the Dodd-Frank Act, and changes in general business and economic trends.  Information concerning these and other factors can be found in the Corporation’s periodic filings with the SEC, including the discussion under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Corporation’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  These filings are available publicly on the SEC's web site at http://www.sec.gov, on the Corporation's web site at http://www.chemungcanal.com or upon request from the Corporate Secretary at (607) 737-3746.  Except as otherwise required by law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties

Critical accounting policies include the areas where the Corporation has made what it considers to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments 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.

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 March 31, 2014 totaled $1.498 billion, an increase of $21.4 million, or 1.4%, since December 31, 2013.  The growth was due primarily to increases of $28.7 million, or 2.9%, in total portfolio loans and $5.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease of $9.3 million in investment securities.  The increase in portfolio loans was due to strong growth of $23.6 million in commercial loans and $4.7 million in consumer loans.

Total liabilities increased $19.4 million to $1.357 billion at March 31, 2014, due primarily to an increase of $25.6 million in deposits, partially offset by decreases of $4.1 million in other liabilities and $2.1 million in securities sold under agreement to repurchase.  The increase was due primarily to growth in public deposits.

Total shareholders’ equity was $140.5 million at March 31, 2014, an increase of $1.9 million from December 31, 2013, due primarily to the Corporation’s net income of $2.1 million and an increase of $0.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by declared dividends of $1.2 million.

The market value of total assets under management or administration in the Corporation’s Wealth Management Group was $1.923 billion at March 31, 2014 compared with $1.888 billion at December 31, 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Total cash and cash equivalents increased since December 31, 2013, due primarily to increases of $2.9 million in cash and due from financial institutions and $2.7 million in interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions.  The increases were due to normal fluctuations in Bank activities.  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 1 as follows (in thousands of dollars):

The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $337.1 million at March 31, 2014, a decrease of $8.9 million, or 2.6%, from $346.0 million at December 31, 2013.  The decrease resulted primarily from sales and calls of $5.0 million, and maturities and principal collected of $5.0 million, partially offset by purchases of $0.9 million.  The decrease in securities was used to help fund the growth in the loan portfolio.

The held to maturity segment of the securities portfolio consists of obligations of political subdivisions in the Corporation’s market areas.  These securities totaled $6.1 million at March 31, 2014, a net decrease of $0.4 million due primarily to maturities and principal collected, from December 31, 2013.

Loans

The Corporation has reporting systems to monitor: (i) loan origination 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.

Table 2 shows the Corporation’s loan composition by segment for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 (in thousands of dollars):

Loans, net
  $ 1,024,565     $ 995,866     $ 28,699       2.9 %

Portfolio loans totaled $1.025 billion at March 31, 2014, an increase of $28.7 million, or 2.9%, from $995.9 million at December 31, 2013.  The increase in portfolio loans was due to strong growth of $23.7 million, or 6.4% in commercial mortgages and $6.0 million in indirect consumer loans.  The growth in commercial mortgages was due primarily to an increase in the Capital Bank division in the Albany, New York region.  The growth in indirect consumer loans was a result of the Corporation’s plan to extend into 2014 its loan program with reduced pricing on high quality indirect auto loans.

 
33

 


Residential mortgage loans totaled $196.4 million at March 31, 2014, an increase of $0.4 million, or 0.2%, from December 31, 2013.  In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, $1.7 million of newly originated residential mortgages were sold in the secondary market to Freddie Mac and $0.1 million in residential mortgages were sold to the State of New York Mortgage Agency.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 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.

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 March 30, 2014 totaled $8.6 million compared to $8.5 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $0.1 million.  The increase in non-performing loans was due primarily to an increase of $0.5 million in non-accrual residential mortgages, partially offset by decreases of $0.3 million in non-accrual commercial and industrial loans and $0.1 million in non-accrual consumer loans.

The recorded investment in accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $1.5 million at March 31, 2014, level with December 31, 2013.

Not included in non-performing loan totals are $9.8 million of acquired loans which the Corporation has identified as PCI loans.  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.

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 March 31, 2014, the Corporation had $0.8 million of non-accrual TDRs compared with $1.1 million as of December 31, 2013.  As of March 31, 2014, the Corporation had $6.5 million of accruing TDRs compared with $6.8 million as of December 31, 2013.  The decrease in total TDRs was primarily in the commercial loan segment of the loan portfolio.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans at March 31, 2014 totaled $12.0 million, including TDRs of $7.3 million, compared to $13.9 million at December 31, 2013, including TDRs of $7.9 million.  Not included in the impaired loan totals are acquired loans 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 decrease in impaired loans was due primarily to decreases of $1.2 million in commercial mortgages and $0.7 million in commercial and industrial loans.  Included in the impaired loan total at March 31, 2014, are loans totaling $1.6 million for which impairment allowances of $0.7 million have been specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses.  As of December 31, 2013, the impaired loan total included $2.0 million of loans for which specific impairment allowances of $1.0 million were allocated to the allowance for loan losses.  The decrease in the amount of impaired loans for which specific allowances were allocated to the allowance for loan losses was due primarily to a decrease 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.

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.

 
36

 


The allowance for loan losses was $13.2 million at March 31, 2014, up from $12.8 million at December 31, 2013.  The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.28% at March 31, 2014, level with December 31, 2013.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses was due primarily to loan portfolio growth, and allowances for the growth after consideration of the factors discussed above, and higher net charge-offs.  Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $0.3 million compared with less than $0.1 million for the prior year.  The increase in net charge-offs was primarily in the consumer loan portfolio.

Deposits totaled $1.292 billion at March 31, 2014, compared with $1.266 billion at December 31, 2013, an increase of $25.6 million, or 2.0%.  The increase was due primarily to growth in public deposits.  At March 31, 2014, demand deposit and money market accounts comprised 66.3% of total deposits compared with 65.3% at December 31, 2013.  Sorted by public, commercial and consumer sources, the growth in deposits was due to increases of $29.7 million in public funds and $7.8 million in consumer accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $11.9 million in commercial accounts.

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 $3.9 million at March 31, 2014 compared with $5.0 million as of December 31, 2013.  Deposits obtained through the CDARS program were $47.0 million at March 31, 2014 compared with $35.7 million as of December 31, 2013.  The increase in CDARS deposits was due to the Corporation offering the CDARS program to local municipalities.

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.

Borrowings

FHLB term advances were $25.2 million at March 31, 2014, level with December 31, 2013.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $2.1 million from $32.7 million at December 31, 2013 to $30.6 million at March 31, 2014.  The decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase was related to normal fluctuations in client accounts.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity was $140.5 million at March 31, 2014 compared with $138.6 million at December 31, 2013.  The increase was due primarily to the Corporation’s net income of $2.1 million and an increase of $0.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by declared dividends of $1.2 million.  The total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio was 9.38% at March 31, 2014 compared with 9.39% at December 31, 2013.  The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.67% at March 31, 2014 compared with 7.62% at December 31, 2013.  Book value per share increased to $30.03 at March 31, 2014 from $29.67 at December 31, 2013.

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 March 31, 2014, 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.

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 $103.7 million and $73.1 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents increased $5.5 million.  The major sources of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2014 included $2.6 million provided by operating activities, $10.7 million in proceeds from sales, maturities, calls and principal reductions on securities and $25.6 million in organic deposit growth.  These proceeds were used primarily to fund purchases of securities totaling $1.1 million, a $29.0 million net increase in loans and payment of cash dividends in the amount of $1.2 million.


Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2.1 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 14.4%, compared with $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.44 compared with $0.52 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Return on average assets and return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were 0.56% and 5.93%, respectively, compared with 0.77% and 7.37%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.

The decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was due primarily to increases of $1.6 million in non-interest expense and $0.2 million in the provision for loan losses.  These items were partially offset by increases of $0.3 million in net interest income and $0.9 million in non-interest income, and a reduction of $0.2 million in income taxes.

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 the Corporation’s earnings.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $12.0 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2.7%, compared with $11.7 million for the same period in the prior year.  Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.58% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with 4.14% for the same period in the prior year.  The increase in net interest income was due primarily to an increase of $215.0 million in interest-earning assets related to the branch acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2013.  The decline in net interest margin was due in part to a 65 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 12 basis point decline in the cost of funds and the increase in interest-earning assets.  The decrease in yield on interest-earning assets was attributable to a 55 basis point decrease in yield on loans, a result of loans continuing to reprice at current historically low market rates.

Changes Due to Volume and Rate

Net interest income can be analyzed in terms of the impact of changes in rates and volumes.  Table 7 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 three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.  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 taxable equivalent adjustments were made.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $0.6 million compared with $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses was due primarily to loan portfolio growth and higher net charge-offs.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $5.0 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 23.4%, compared with $4.0 million for the same period in the prior year.  The increase was due primarily to a gain of $0.5 million from the liquidation of the Corporation’s investment in a pool of trust preferred securities and increases of $0.3 million in service charges on deposit accounts attributable to branches acquired in the fourth quarter of 2013, and $0.1 million in Wealth Management fee income.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $13.3 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 13.8%, compared with $11.7 million for the same period in the prior year.  The increase was due primarily to increases of $0.4 million in occupancy expense, $0.4 million in data processing costs and $0.3 million in salaries and wages.  These increases were attributable to the branches acquired in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $1.0 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, compared with $1.2 million for the same period in the prior year.  Income tax expense reflects an effective tax rate of 31.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with 32.7% for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was due primarily to lower pre-tax income and an increase in the relative percentage of tax exempt income to pre-tax income.


ITEM 3:                      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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 March 31, 2014, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 11.52% and an immediate 200-basis point increase would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 8.62%.  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 4.97% and 12.95%, 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 March 31, 2014, 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 8.73% and an immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would negatively impact the market value by 3.84%.  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 4.15% and 6.20%, 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 the three months ended March 31, 2014.

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.

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 Financial Officer (non-voting member) 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.


ITEM 4:                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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 Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, who is the Corporation's principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014 pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as a result of the material weakness that existed in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as previously described in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Previously Identified Material Weakness

As of December 31, 2013 management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective because a material weakness existed in its internal control over the identification and evaluation of troubled debt restructurings.  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 key control to identify all loans which may be subject to a checklist has been implemented and will be tested for effectiveness during 2014.

In response to the material weakness, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Corporation improved its process of identifying and evaluating trouble debt restructurings in order to remediate the material weakness.  The Corporation has provided additional guidance and strengthened processes regarding the identification and evaluation of trouble debt restructurings, within our loan underwriting and credit administration functions, and provided additional training to our loan underwriting and credit administration staff.  Additionally, the Corporation’s internal audit personnel will be sampling and testing transactions related to troubled debt restructurings as a part of the Corporation’s internal audit plan for 2014.

 
43

 


The remediation of the material weakness described above is ongoing.  Management believes that its efforts, when fully implemented, will be effective in remediating the material weakness by the end of the second quarter of 2014.  In addition, management will continue to monitor the results of the remediation activities and test the new controls as part of its review of its internal control over financial reporting for 2014.  Management remains committed to a strong internal control environment.

Except for the material weakness noted above, there have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
