PART I
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
General Development of Business

Chemung Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") was incorporated on January 2, 1985 under the laws of the State
of New York.  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 has been a financial holding company since June 22, 2000. Financial holding company status
provides 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. As such, the Corporation currently operates as a financial holding
company with two subsidiaries, Chemung Canal Trust Company, a full-service community bank with full trust
powers, and CFS Group, Inc.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") maintains a web site at www.sec.gov that contains reports,
proxy and information statements, and other information regarding the Corporation.  You may also read and copy
materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F St., NE, Washington, D.C. 20549.  You

Description of Business
 
Business

The Bank is a New York State chartered commercial bank which engages in full-service commercial and consumer
banking and wealth management business. The Bank's services include accepting time, demand and savings deposits,
including NOW accounts, savings accounts, insured money market accounts, investment certificates, fixed-rate
certificates of deposit and club accounts.  The Bank's services also include making secured and unsecured commercial
and consumer loans, financing commercial transactions (either directly or participating with regional industrial
development and community lending corporations), and making commercial, residential and home equity mortgage
loans, revolving credit loans with overdraft checking protection and small business loans.  Additional services include
renting safe deposit facilities, the provision of networked automated teller facilities and an internet banking product
featuring bill payment services.

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.

CFS Group, Inc. offers an array of financial services including mutual funds, full and discount brokerage services,
annuity and other insurance products and tax preparation services.

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 have been no material changes in the manner of doing business by the Corporation or its subsidiaries during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Market Area and Competition

Seven of the Bank's 28 full-service offices, including the main office, are located in Chemung County, New York.  
The Bank has thirteen full-service offices located in the nearby counties of Broome, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga and
Tompkins.  In April 2011, Chemung Canal Trust Company, as part of the Fort Orange Financial Corp. acquisition by
Chemung Financial Corporation, added five full service branch offices to its footprint in Albany and Saratoga counties
under the name Capital Bank, a division of Chemung Canal Trust Company.  The Bank also operates 3 full-service
offices in Bradford County, Pennsylvania and full service Wealth Management Centers located in Chemung and
Broome  counties.   The Corporation defines its primary market areas as those areas within a 25-mile radius of its New
York offices in Albany, Broome, Chemung, Saratoga, Steuben, Schuyler, Tioga and Tompkins counties, including the
northern tier of Pennsylvania.

Within these market areas, the Bank encounters intense competition in the lending and deposit gathering aspects of
its business from commercial and thrift banking 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 available loans to certain borrowers.  Unlike the Bank,
many of these competitors are not subject to regulation as extensive as that affecting the Bank and, as a result, they
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 income taxes.

Competition for the Bank's Wealth Management Group services comes primarily from brokerage firms and
independent investment advisors.  These firms devote much of their considerable resources toward gaining larger
positions in these markets.  The market value of the Bank's Wealth Management Group assets under administration
totaled approximately $1.6 billion at year-end 2011.  The Wealth Management Group division is responsible for the
largest component of non-interest revenue.
 
Supervision and Regulation

The Corporation is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"), and is
subject to the supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board").  
As a bank holding company, 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 Board 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 Board 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 Corporation is also under the jurisdiction of the SEC and is subject to the disclosure and regulatory
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
as administered by the SEC.

The Bank is chartered under the laws of New York State and is supervised by the New York State Department of
Financial Services  ("NYSDFS").  The Bank also is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System and, therefore,
the Federal Reserve Board serves as its primary federal regulator.

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 NYSD, and brokerage activities are subject to supervision
by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").

The Corporation is subject to capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board. The guidelines apply on a
consolidated basis and require bank holding companies to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets
(or "leverage ratio") of 4%. For the most highly rated bank holding companies, the minimum ratio is 3%.  The
Federal Reserve Board capital adequacy guidelines also require bank holding companies to maintain a minimum
ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4% and a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted
assets of 8%.  Any bank holding company whose capital does not meet the minimum capital adequacy guidelines is
considered to be undercapitalized, and is required to submit an acceptable plan to the Federal Reserve Board for
achieving capital adequacy. In addition, an undercapitalized company's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders
and expand its lines of business through the acquisition of new banking or non-banking subsidiaries also could be
restricted by the Federal Reserve Board.  The Federal Reserve Board may set higher minimum capital requirements
for bank holding companies where circumstances warrant, such as companies anticipating significant growth or
facing unusual risks.  As of December 31, 2011, the Corporation's leverage ratio was 8.27%, its ratio of Tier 1
capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.84% and its ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets was
13.28%.  The Federal Reserve Board has not advised the Corporation that it is subject to any special capital
requirements.

Pursuant to Federal Reserve Board regulations and supervisory policies, bank holding companies also are expected
to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to their subsidiary depository institutions.  Therefore, to
the extent the Bank is in need of capital, the Corporation could be expected to provide additional capital to the
Bank, including, potentially, raising new capital for that purpose.

The Bank is subject to leverage and risk-based capital requirements and minimum capital guidelines of the Federal
Reserve Board that are similar to those applicable to the Corporation.  As of December 31, 2011, the Bank was in
compliance with all minimum capital requirements.  The Bank's leverage ratio as of that date was 7.92%, its ratio of
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.36%, and its ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets
was 12.80%.

The Bank also is subject to substantial regulatory restrictions relating to its ability to pay dividends to the
Corporation.  Under Federal Reserve Board 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, 2011,
approximately $4.6 million was available for the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation without
prior approval, after giving effect to the payment of dividends in the fourth quarter of 2011. 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.

The deposits of the Bank are insured up to regulatory limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC") and 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.

In February 2011, the FDIC 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
2012, due December 30, 2011, was .066% of insured deposits.

The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Bank ("FHLB") of New York, 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 FHLB, including the requirement to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the
FHLB.  The Bank was in compliance with the rules and requirements of the FHLB at December 31, 2011.

The Dodd-Frank Act

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection 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.
 
The Dodd-Frank Act directs the federal banking agencies to establish minimum leverage and risk-based capital
requirements for insured depository institutions and bank holding companies with assets greater than $500 million,
among others, that should be no lower than the minimum requirements applicable to banks as of the date of
enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act.  On June 14, 2011, the FRB, along with other federal banking supervisors,
issued a final rule implementing the minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements.  The Dodd-Frank Act
also directs the appropriate federal banking supervisors, subject to Council recommendations, to develop capital
requirements for all insured depository institutions, depository institution holding companies and systemically
important non-bank financial companies to address systemically risky activities.

As noted above, the Dodd-Frank Act broadened the base for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance
assessments. Assessments are now be 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, and provided qualifying non-interest bearing transaction accounts with unlimited deposit insurance through
December 31, 2012.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive
compensation and so-called "golden parachute" payments.  The legislation also authorizes the SEC to promulgate
rules that would allow stockholders to nominate their own candidates using the company’s proxy materials.
Additionally, 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 FRB,
along with other federal banking supervisors, issued a joint notice of proposed rulemaking implementing those
requirements.

The Dodd-Frank Act created a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“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.

It is difficult to predict at this time what specific impact certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and its
implementing rules and regulations, including those yet to be written, will have on the Corporation. The financial
reform legislation and any additional 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 compliance with all applicable provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act
and its implementing rules, which may further increase the Corporation’s costs of operations and adversely
impact its earnings.
 

Basel III Amendments to Capital Adequacy Requirements
 
In December 2010, the Basel Committee, a group of bank regulatory supervisors from around the world, released
its final framework for strengthening international capital and liquidity regulation, now officially identified by the
Basel Committee as “Basel III.” Basel III, when implemented by the U.S. bank regulatory agencies and fully
phased-in, will require bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries to maintain substantially more capital,
with a greater emphasis on common equity. The Basel III final capital framework, among other things:
 
 
 
introduces as a new capital measure “Common Equity Tier 1”, or “CET1”, specifies that Tier 1 capital
consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, defines
CET1 narrowly by requiring that most adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and
not to the other components of capital, and expands the scope of the adjustments as compared to existing
regulations;
 
 
when fully phased in on January 1, 2019, requires banks to maintain:
 
     
as a newly adopted international standard, a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at
least 4.5 percent, plus a 2.5 percent “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5 percent
CET1 ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-
weighted assets of at least 7 percent);
 
 
a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0 percent, plus the capital
conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0 percent Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in,
effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5 percent upon full implementation);
 
 
a minimum ratio of Total (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0
percent, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0 percent total capital ratio as
that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5 percent upon
full implementation);

 
5

 


 
 
as a newly adopted international standard, a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0 percent, calculated as the
ratio of Tier 1 capital to balance sheet exposures plus certain off-balance sheet exposures (as the
average for each quarter of the month-end ratios for the quarter); and
 
 
 
provides for a “countercyclical capital buffer”, generally to be imposed when national regulators
determine that excess aggregate credit growth becomes associated with a buildup of systemic risk, that
would be a CET1 add-on to the capital conservation buffer in the range of 0 percent to 2.5 percent when
fully implemented (potentially resulting in total buffers of between 2.5 percent and 5 percent).
 
The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions
with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (or below the
combined capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when the latter is applied) will face
constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.
 
The implementation of the Basel III final framework will commence January 1, 2013. On that date, banking
institutions will be required to meet the following minimum capital ratios:
 
 
 
3.5 percent CET1 to risk-weighted assets;
 
 
4.5 percent Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets; and
 
 
8.0 percent Total capital to risk-weighted assets.
 
The Basel III final framework provides for a number of new deductions from and adjustments to CET1. These
include, for example, the requirement that mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets and significant investments
in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one such category exceeds 10
percent of CET1 or all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15 percent of CET1.
 
Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to CET1 will begin on January 1, 2014 and will be phased-
in over a five-year period (20 percent per year). The implementation of the capital conservation buffer will begin on
January 1, 2016 at 0.625 percent and be phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each
subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5 percent on January 1, 2019).
 
The U.S. banking agencies have indicated informally that they expect to propose regulations implementing Basel
III in early 2012.
 
The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve to adopt regulations imposing a continuing “floor” of the Basel I-
based capital requirements in cases where the Basel II-based capital requirements and any changes in capital
regulations resulting from Basel III otherwise would permit lower requirements. In June 2011, the Federal Reserve
finalized regulations implementing this requirement.
 
 
Given that the Basel III rules are subject to implementation and change and the scope and content of capital
regulations that U.S. federal banking agencies may adopt under the Dodd-Frank Act is uncertain, the Corporation
cannot be certain of the impact new capital regulations will have on its capital ratios.

Other Regulatory and Legislative Actions

Transactions between the Bank and either the Corporation or CFS Group, Inc. are governed by sections 23A and
23B of the Federal Reserve Act ("FRA") and the Federal Reserve Board’s implementing Regulation W.  Generally,
these provisions are intended to protect insured depository institutions from suffering losses arising from
transactions with non-insured affiliates, by placing quantitative and qualitative limitations on covered transactions
between a bank and any one affiliate as well as all affiliates of the bank in the aggregate, and requiring that such
transactions be on terms that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices.  Sections 22(g) and (h) of the
FRA and their implementing Regulation O restrict the amounts and terms of loans to directors, executive officers
and principal shareholders.

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 Board and the Federal Trade Commission ("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 Board 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.

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.

Under Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act, also known as the International Money Laundering Abatement and
Anti-Terrorism Financing Act of 2001, all financial institutions are required in general to identify their customers,
adopt formal and comprehensive anti-money laundering programs, scrutinize or prohibit altogether certain
transactions of special concern, and be prepared to respond to inquiries from U.S. law enforcement agencies
concerning their customers and their transactions. Additional information-sharing among financial institutions,
regulators, and law enforcement authorities is encouraged by the presence of an exemption from the privacy
provisions of the GLB Act for financial institutions that comply with this provision and the authorization of the
Secretary of the Treasury to adopt rules to further encourage cooperation and information-sharing. The
effectiveness of a financial institution in combating money laundering activities is a factor to be considered in any
application submitted by the financial institution under the Bank Merger Act, which applies to the Bank, or the
BHC Act, which applies to the Corporation.

The Bank has a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") to help meet the credit
needs of its communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish
specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to
develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent
with the CRA. Regulators assess the Bank’s record of compliance with the CRA. In addition, the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit discrimination in lending practices on the basis of
characteristics specified in those statutes. The Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of the CRA could, at a
minimum, result in regulatory restrictions on its activities and the activities of the Corporation. The Bank’s failure
to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions
against it by its regulators as well as other federal regulatory agencies including the CFPB and the Department of
Justice. The Bank’s latest CRA rating was "Outstanding".

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 implemented a broad range of measures to increase corporate responsibility, to
provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies, and protect
investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures for companies that have securities
registered under the Exchange Act, including publicly-held financial holding companies such as the Corporation.
Among other things, Sarbanes-Oxley and/or its implementing regulations have established new membership
requirements and additional responsibilities for the Corporation’s audit committee, imposed restrictions on the
relationship between the Corporation and its outside auditors (including restrictions on the types of non-audit
services its auditors may provide to it), imposed additional responsibilities for its external financial statements on
its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, expanded the disclosure requirements for its corporate
insiders, required its management to evaluate its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over
financial reporting, and required its auditors to issue a report on its internal control over financial reporting.

Home mortgage lenders, including banks, are required under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act to make available
to the public information regarding the pricing of home mortgage loans, including the "rate spread" between the
interest rate on loans and certain Treasury securities and other benchmarks. The availability of this information has
led to increased scrutiny of higher-priced loans at all financial institutions to detect illegal discriminatory practices
and to the initiation of a limited number of investigations by federal banking agencies and the U.S. Department of
Justice. The Corporation has no information that it or its affiliates are the subject of any investigation.

In recent years, declining housing values have resulted in deteriorating economic conditions across the U.S.,
resulting in significant writedowns in the values of mortgage-backed securities and derivative securities by
financial institutions, government sponsored entities, and major commercial and investment banks.  This has led to
decreased confidence in financial markets among borrowers, lenders, and depositors as well as extreme volatility in
the capital and credit markets and the failure of some entities in the financial sector.  The Corporation is fortunate
that the markets it serves have been impacted to a lesser extent than many areas around the country.
 
Employees

As of December 31, 2011, the Corporation and its subsidiaries employed 349 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.
 
Recent Developments

On March 19, 2012, the Corporation received a letter from a law firm on behalf of its client, Automated Transactions,
LLC, which asserts claims against the Corporation for patent infringement based upon the Corporation’s ATM
operations.  The letter includes a copy of a proposed complaint seeking injunctive relief and damages for the alleged
infringement and also suggests the possibility of an amicable resolution of these claims.  The Corporation is reviewing
the allegations of the proposed complaint and plans to engage counsel to represent it in this matter.

Loan Concentrations

The loan portfolio is widely diversified by types of borrowers, industry groups, and market areas within our core
footprint.  Significant loan concentrations are considered to exist for a financial institution when there are amounts
loaned to numerous borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by
economic or other conditions.  At December 31, 2011, 22.5% of the Corporation’s loans consist of commercial real estate
loans to borrowers in the real estate, rental or leasing sector. The major portion of this sector comprises
borrowers that rent, lease or otherwise allow the use of their own assets by others.  No other significant
concentrations existed in the Corporation’s portfolio in excess of 10% of total loans as of December 31, 2011.
 
Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses

The allocated portions of the allowance reflect management's estimates of specific known risk elements in the
respective portfolios.  Management's methodology followed in evaluating the allowance for loan losses includes a
detailed analysis of historical loss factors for pools of similarly graded loans, as well as specific collateral reviews
of relationships graded special mention, substandard or doubtful with outstanding balances of $1.0 million or
greater. Among the factors considered in allocating portions of the allowance by loan type are the current levels of
past due, non-accrual and impaired loans, as well as historical loss experience and the evaluation of collateral.  In
addition, management has formally documented factors considered in determining the appropriate level of
unallocated allowance, including current economic conditions, forecasted trends in the credit quality cycle, loan
growth, entry into new markets, and industry and peer group trends.  From 2007 to 2009, these amounts, which had
previously been shown as unallocated, have been included in the allocated portion of the loan categories to which
they relate. At December 31, 2011, in addition to the qualitative factors allocated within the allowance, the
Corporation maintained $443 thousand of the allowance as unallocated. While we have seen some preliminary
improvements in the local economy and while some loans have improved, the recovery is still very fragile and
management believes it is prudent to see a period of sustained improvement before completely reflecting this in the
allowance. Additionally, management monitors coverage ratios of nonperforming loans and total loans compared to
peers on a regular basis.  This analysis also suggests that it would not be prudent to eliminate the unallocated
portion of the allowance at this time.

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s allocation of the loan loss allowance for each year in the five-
year period ended December 31, 2011:

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

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 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, 2011, the Corporation’s portfolio of commercial real estate and business loans totaled $406.8
million or 51.0% 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.

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 credit 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.

 
13

 

The Corporation’s emphasis on the origination of commercial loans is one of the more significant factors in
evaluating its allowance for credit losses.  As the Corporation continues to increase the amount of these loans,
additional or increased provisions for loan losses may be necessary and as a result 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.

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.  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.

On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(the "Dodd-Frank Act"). The Dodd-Frank Act represents a significant overhaul of 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. 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.
 
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 Corporation is regulated by the Federal Reserve and the Bank is regulated
by the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and the New York State
Department of Financial Services.  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 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.

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. Any failure or circumvention of the controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to
controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

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.

 
16

 

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.

ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Corporation and the Bank currently conduct all their business activities from the Bank's main office in Elmira,
NY, 27 full-service branch locations in a nine county area, owned office space adjacent to the Bank's main office in
Elmira, NY 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 28 branch banking facilities totals approximately 122,053 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 eleven of its facilities (Bath,
Binghamton, Clifton Park, Community Corners, Latham, Oakdale Mall, Slingerlands, Tioga, Vestal, Washington
Ave, and Wolf Rd Offices) and ten automated teller facilities (Cornell University, 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.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On February 14 and April 14, 2011, the Bank received separate settlement demands from representatives of
beneficiaries of certain trusts for which the Bank has acted as trustee.  The settlement demands relate to alleged
claims of, among other things, breach of the Bank’s fiduciary duties as trustee, including the Bank’s alleged failure
to adequately diversify the relevant trust portfolios. The beneficiaries seek aggregate damages of up to
approximately $27.0 million.  On September 16, 2011, the beneficiaries objected in the Surrogate’s Court of the
State of New York, County of Chemung (the “Surrogate’s Court”) to accountings with respect to the above-
mentioned trusts provided by the Bank, based on allegations similar to those offered in the settlement demands.  
The matter remains pending at the Surrogate Court.  Although these matters are inherently unpredictable,
management will defend against these claims vigorously.  Management has concluded that it is reasonably possible,
but not probable, that the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Corporation could be
materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of these claims, not
withstanding any potential recovery under applicable insurance coverage.  An amount of loss or range of loss
cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION

The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about the financial condition and results of operations of
Chemung Financial Corporation.  Reference should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements
(including related notes) and the selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this report for an understanding of
the following discussion and analysis.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Corporation intends its forward-looking
statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections.  All
statements regarding the Corporation's expected financial position and operating results, the Corporation's business
strategy, the Corporation's financial plans, forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to the
Corporation's industry and similar matters are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be
identified by the Corporation's use of forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "anticipate," "estimate,"
"expect," or "intend."  The Corporation cannot promise that its expectations in such forward-looking statements
will turn out to be correct.  The Corporation's actual results could be materially different from expectations because
of various factors, including changes in economic conditions or interest rates, credit risk, difficulties in managing
our growth, competition, changes in law or the regulatory environment, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and changes in general business and economic trends.  Information
concerning these and other factors can be found in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including the discussion under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this form 10-K.  These filings
are available publicly on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, on the Corporation's website at
http://www.chemungcanal.com or upon request from the Corporate Secretary at (607) 737-3788. Except as
otherwise required by law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.


Description of Business

Chemung Financial Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the
"Bank") and CFS Group, Inc., a financial services company, provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary
and other financial services within its local market areas.


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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  
As a result, the Corporation is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are
reasonable based upon the information available at that time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the periods presented.  Actual results could be different from these estimates.

 
22

 

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 other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") of
investment securities to be a critical accounting policy.  The determination of whether a decline in market value is
other-than-temporary is necessarily a matter of subjective judgment. The timing and amount of any realized losses
reported in the Corporation's financial statements could vary if management's conclusions were to change as to
whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists. 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. Our analysis of these investments includes a review of a $629 thousand book value
collateralized debt obligation ("CDO") which is a pooled trust preferred security.  This security was rated high
quality when purchased, but at December 31, 2011 Moody's rated this security as Caa3 which is defined as
substantial risk of default.  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. The OTTI model considers the structure and term of the CDO and the financial condition of the underlying
issuers.  Specifically, the model details interest rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the
timing and amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation of the payments
to the note classes.  The current estimate of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any
other relevant market information including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults of underlying
trust preferred securities.  Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and prepayments.  
We assume no recoveries on defaults and treat all interest payment deferrals as defaults. Additional default
assumptions were made based on credit quality ratios and performance measures of the remaining financial
institutions in the pool, as well as overall default rates based on historical bank debt default rate averages.  For the
year ended December 31, 2011, the Corporation recognized $67 thousand in OTTI charges.

 
23

 

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.  The Corporation determined that goodwill and other intangible assets were not impaired at
December 31, 2011.

 
Management of Credit Risk - Loan Portfolio

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 & CEO, the
Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Administrative and Risk Officer, the business client division manager, the retail
client division manager, the commercial loan manager, the consumer loan manager, the mortgage loan manager, the
President and the commercial loan manager of the Capital Bank division and the credit manager, implements the
Board-approved loan policy.


Financial Condition

Consolidated assets at December 31, 2011 totaled $1.216 billion, an increase of $257.9 million or 26.9% since
December 31, 2010.  As discussed in greater detail below, this increase was due in large part to the Corporation’s
acquisition of Fort Orange Financial Corp. (“FOFC”) and the concurrent merger of its banking subsidiary, Capital
Bank & Trust Company (“Capital Bank”) into the Bank on April 8, 2011, as well as other organic growth.  The
increase was reflected principally in a $183.2 million increase in loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned
income, a $57.9 million increase in the securities portfolio, a $13.6 million increase in goodwill and other
intangible assets and an $8.0 million increase in other assets, offset in part by a $7.7 million decrease in cash and
cash equivalents.

As noted above, total loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned income increased $183.2 million or 29.9%
from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011, principally due to the acquisition of Capital Bank loans totaling
$187.4 million at year-end.  The most significant growth was in commercial loans (including commercial
mortgages), which increased $159.0 million, with Capital Bank commercial loans totaling $161.7 million at
December 31, 2011.  Residential mortgages increased $20.1 million, including Capital Bank mortgages totaling
$18.5 million at December 31, 2011.  Total consumer loans were up $4.1 million, principally due to a $6.0 million
increase in home equity balances, as home equity loans associated with the acquisition totaled $7.0 million at year-
end.  This increase was offset primarily by a $1.8 million decrease in indirect consumer installment loans.  During
2011, approximately $7.6 million of newly originated residential mortgages were sold in the secondary market to
Freddie Mac, with an additional $528 thousand originated and sold to the State of New York Mortgage Agency.

 
24

 

The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $280.9 million at December 31, 2011, an increase
of approximately $57.3 million or 25.6% from December 31, 2010.  At amortized cost, the available for sale
portfolio increased $53.6 million, including approximately $38.4 million of bonds related to the Capital Bank
acquisition.  Unrealized appreciation related to the available for sale portfolio increased $3.7 million since year-end
2010.  The increase in the available for sale portfolio at amortized cost is reflected principally in a $52.2 million
increase in federal agency bonds, with $11.2 million of that total in Capital Bank bonds.  Municipal bonds were up
$6.4 million, including $5.9 million of municipal bonds at Capital Bank.  Increases in collateralized mortgage
obligations and SBA Guaranteed Loan Pools totaling $7.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, reflect
investments acquired in the acquisition.  A $2.4 million increase in corporate bonds includes $3.0 million of
investments acquired from Capital Bank.  The above increases were offset in part by a $12.2 million decrease in
mortgage-backed securities and a $4.5 million decrease in US Treasury bonds.  The decrease in mortgage-backed
securities reflects paydowns received since year-end 2010, partially offset by mortgage-backed securities acquired
from Capital Bank totaling $9.0 million at December 31, 2011, while the decrease in US Treasuries was due to the
sale of three bonds during the year, offset in part by purchases totaling $30.3 million.  The increase in unrealized
appreciation related to the available for sale portfolio was due in large part to the impact of lower mid-to long-term
rates on the various bond portfolios, as well as an increase in unrealized gains in the Corporation’s equity portfolio.  
The held to maturity portion of the portfolio, consisting of local municipal obligations, increased approximately
$597 thousand from $7.7 million at December 31, 2010 to $8.3 million at December 31, 2011.

The $12.1 million increase in goodwill as well as the $1.5 million increase in other intangible assets was directly
related to the FOFC acquisition.  The $1.5 million increase, net of amortization, in other intangible assets includes
$2.3 million in other intangibles associated with this acquisition, which the Corporation is amortizing on an
accelerated basis over a 10 year period.

An $8.0 million increase in other assets was due principally to a $4.3 million increase in prepaid income taxes
receivable, which includes $688 thousand in income taxes receivable related to the FOFC acquisition, a $1.2
million increase in accrued interest receivable due in large part to the FOFC acquisition and a $962 thousand
increase in the funded balance of the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plan, as well as increases in accounts
receivable and prepaid expenses totaling $491 thousand and $339 thousand, respectively.

As noted above, total cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.7 million since December 31, 2010, as a $19.4 million
decrease in interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions was somewhat offset by an $11.7 million increase
in cash and due from financial institutions.  The decrease in interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions
was principally due to the fact that increases in loans and securities exceeded the increase in deposits discussed
below.  The increase in cash and due from banks was primarily due to higher year-end levels of cash items in
process of collection and branch cash.  With total cash and cash equivalents of $52.9 million at December 31, 2011,
the Corporation continues to maintain a strong liquidity position and we continue to evaluate alternative investment
of these funds with caution given the low interest rate environment and the inherent interest rate risk associated
with longer term securities portfolio investments.

 
25

 

Since December 31, 2010, total deposits have increased $212.1 million or 27.0% to $998.5 million, with $168.6
million of this increase attributed to the FOFC acquisition, and $43.5 million due to organic deposit growth. Non-
interest bearing demand deposits increased $61.5 million, including balances at the Capital Bank offices acquired
totaling $24.0 million, along with increases in public funds and other non-interest bearing demand deposits of $4.1
million and $33.4 million, respectively.  A $150.6 million increase in interest bearing balances was due principally
to a $73.6 million increases in savings balances, as well as increases in insured money market accounts (“IMMA”),
NOW accounts and time deposits totaling $28.9 million, $25.0 million and $23.2 million, respectively.  The $73.6
million increase in savings balances includes $57.0 million related to the FOFC acquisition as well as increases in
public fund and other balances totaling $2.2 million and $14.4 million, respectively.  A $28.9 million increase in
IMMA balances includes $9.4 million of Capital Bank deposits and a $19.8 million increase in public fund
balances, offset by a $333 thousand decrease in all other IMMA balances.  The $25.0 million increase in NOW
accounts was principally due to Capital Bank balances totaling $24.4 million, while the $23.2 million increase in
time deposits reflects $53.8 million in Capital Bank time deposits as well as a $3.3 million increase in public funds,
offset by a $33.9 million decrease in all other time deposits.

A $23.3 million increase in long term borrowings was due to the Corporation assuming the term debt of Capital
Bank, while a $7.7 million decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase reflects the payoff of
maturing obligations during 2011, somewhat offset by securities sold under agreements to repurchase which were
assumed in the Capital Bank acquisition.

The $28.5 million increase in total shareholders equity was due in large part to the issuance of 1,009,942 shares to
acquire shares of former FOFC shareholders, which resulted in an increase in common stock and additional paid-in-
capital totaling $23.6 million.  Other significant factors included a $6.2 million increase in retained earnings offset
in part by a $1.5 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Securities

The Board-approved Funds Management Policy includes an investment portfolio policy which requires that, except
for local municipal obligations that are sometimes not rated or carry ratings above "Baa" but below "A" by Moody's
or Standard & Poor’s, debt securities purchased for the bond portfolio must carry a minimum rating of "A".

As of December 31, 2011, approximately $1.9 million of single issue trust preferred securities at amortized cost and
$656 thousand of collateralized debt obligations consisting of pools of trust preferred securities at amortized cost,
had credit ratings below "A".  The two single issue trust preferred securities had a rating of "BBB" by Standard &
Poor’s and "Baa2" by Moody’s, while the trust preferred pools had ratings of "Caa3" and “Ca” by Moody's.

Marketable securities are classified as Available for Sale, while local direct investments in municipal obligations
are generally classified as Held to Maturity. The Available for Sale portfolio at December 31, 2011 totaled $280.9
million compared to $223.5 million a year earlier.  At year-end 2011, the total net unrealized appreciation in the
securities available for sale portfolio was $12.9 million, compared to $9.2 million a year ago.  The components of
this change are set forth below.

Asset Quality

Non-Performing Loans

The recorded investment in non-performing loans at December 31, 2011 totaled $20.915 million compared to
$11.268 million at year-end 2010, an increase $9.647 million.  Not included in the non-performing loan totals are
loans acquired in the FOFC acquisition which the Corporation has identified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”)
loans totaling $14.812 million at December 31, 2011, which 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.  The increase in non-
performing loans was due to increases in non-accrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due totaling $3.013
million and $7.293 million, respectively, partially offset by a $659 thousand decrease in accruing troubled debt
restructurings (“TDRs”).  The $3.013 million increase in non-accrual loans was due to a $3.157 million increase in
non-accruing commercial loans that was primarily due to the addition to non-accrual status of three legacy loans
totaling $2.866 million, as well as the addition to non-accrual status of loans acquired in the FOFC acquisition
totaling $523 thousand.  These increases were offset in part by principal reductions on other non-accrual
commercial loans.  Additionally, non-accrual residential mortgages increased $53 thousand.  These increases were
partially offset by decreases in non-accrual home equity and other consumer loans totaling, $90 thousand, $107
thousand, respectively.  Included in the non-accrual loan totals are commercial loans to one borrower totaling
$5.470 million which carry guarantees of the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") totaling $4.847
million, thereby reducing the Corporation's remaining exposure on these loans to $623 thousand.  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.  Loans remain in non-accrual status until the loans have been brought current and remain current for a
period of six months.  In the case of non-accrual loans where a portion of the loan has been charged off, the
remaining balance is kept in non-accrual status until the entire principal balance has been recovered.

Accruing loans 90 days or more past due totaled $7.304 million at December 31, 2011 compared to $11 thousand at
year-end 2010, an increase of $7.293 million.  This increase was due to loans not considered by management to be
PCI loans acquired in the FOFC acquisition, including $7.295 million of construction loans that for a variety of
reasons are 90 days or more past their stated maturity dates, however the borrowers continue to make required
interest payments.  Additionally, these loans carry third party credit enhancements, and based upon 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.

As noted above, accruing TDRs decreased $659 thousand since December 31, 2010 as during 2011 a commercial
loan totaling $137 thousand and three residential mortgages totaling $245 thousand at December 31, 2010 were
removed from TDR status in accordance with the Corporation’s policy that TDRs that have continued to be in
compliance with modified terms and conditions for six months and yield a market rate at the time of restructuring
not be reported as TDRs in years subsequent to the year in which the loan was first reported as TDR.  Additionally,
$277 thousand of principal reductions were received on a commercial loan TDR.  Concessions made on
commercial loan TDRs generally involve short term deferrals of principal payments, while residential mortgage
restructurings include interest rate and/or payment reductions.  Overall, our past experience in working with
borrowers in restructuring troubled debt has been favorable. TDRs are evaluated for impairment based upon the
present value of expected future cash flows with any changes recorded through the provision for loan losses.

At December 31, 2011, OREO totaled $898 thousand compared to $741 thousand at December 31, 2010, an
increase of $157 thousand.  During 2011, six properties totaling $571 thousand were placed in OREO and four
properties totaling $294 thousand were sold.  Additionally, during the third quarter of 2011, the Corporation
recognized a $12 thousand write-down on one property following the receipt of an updated appraisal.  The balance
of the decrease was due to the receipt of private mortgage insurance reimbursement on one property.  At December
31, 2011, OREO properties consisted of five residential properties totaling $361 thousand, three commercial
properties totaling $319 thousand and undeveloped land totaling $218 thousand.


Impaired Loans

Impaired loans, excluding residential real estate loans determined to be troubled debt restructurings, at December
31, 2011 totaled $9.879 million compared to $7.667 million at December 31, 2010.  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 $2.212 million resulted principally from the above-discussed increase in non-accrual commercial
legacy loans, offset in part by decreases in other non-accrual loans and accruing commercial loan TDR’s.  Included
in the impaired loan total are loans totaling $6.093 million for which impairment allowances of $1.942 million have
been specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses.  As of December 31, 2010, the impaired loan total
included $892 thousand of loans for which specific impairment allowances of $240 thousand were allocated to the
allowance for loan losses.  The increases in both the amount of impaired loans for which specific allowances were
allocated to the allowance for loan losses and the amount allocated were both primarily due to the above mentioned
addition to non-accrual loans of loans to three borrowers totaling $2.866 million, as well as the addition of a $2.649
million loan for which no specific allowance was allocated as of December 31, 2010.  The majority of the
Corporation's impaired loans are secured and measured for impairment based on collateral evaluations.  It is the
Corporation's policy to obtain updated appraisals on loans secured by real estate at the time a loan is determined to
be impaired.  Prior to the receipt of the updated appraisal, an impairment measurement is performed based upon the
most recent appraisal on file to determine the amount of any specific allocation or charge-off.  Upon receipt and
review of the updated appraisal, an additional measurement is performed to determine if any adjustments are
necessary to reflect the proper provisioning or charge-off.  Impaired loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis to
determine if any changes in credit quality or market conditions would require any additional allocation or
recognition of additional charge-offs.  If market conditions warrant, future appraisals are obtained.  Real estate
values in the Corporation's market area had not increased dramatically in the prior several years, and, as a result,
declines in real estate values have been modest.

The appraisals are performed by independent third parties and reflect the properties market value "as is". In
determining the amount of any specific allocation or charge-off, the Corporation will make adjustments to reflect
the estimated costs to sell the property. In situations where partial charge-offs have been recognized, any balance
remaining continues to be reflected as non-performing until the loan has been paid in full.  In the case of impaired
loans secured by assets other than real estate (i.e. business assets), a collateral valuation is performed using data
from the client's most recently received financial statements, and applying discount rates based upon the type of
collateral.

In addition to non-performing loans, as of December 31, 2011, the Corporation has identified commercial
relationships totaling $8.2 million as potential problem loans, as compared to $7.2 million at December 31, 2010.  
This increase of $1.0 million resulted from the addition of four commercial relationships totaling $5.3 million,
including $2.7 million of loans acquired in the FOFC acquisition which were not considered to be PCI loans,
partially offset by downgrades of four relationships to non-accrual status totaling $2.9 million, as well as upgrades
of and principal reductions on other potential problem loans.  Potential problem loans are loans that are currently
performing, but known information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to
have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms, which
may result in the disclosure of such loans as non-performing at some time in the future.  Potential problem loans are
typically loans that are performing but are classified in the Corporation's loan rating system as "substandard."  
Management cannot predict the extent to which economic conditions may worsen or other factors which may
impact borrowers and the potential problem loans.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other loans will not
become 90 days or more past due, be placed on non-accrual, be restructured, or require increased allowance
coverage and provisions for loan losses.

Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is performed on a periodic basis and
takes into consideration such factors as historical loan loss experience, review of specific problem loans (including
evaluation of the underlying collateral), changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, recent charge-
off experience, overall portfolio quality and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to
pay.

While impaired loans increased $2.212 million since year-end 2010, this increase, as noted above, was due in large
part to the addition of three commercial relationships totaling approximately $2.866 million which was the main
factor behind a $1.702 million increase in specific allowances allocated against impaired loans.  With the exception
of these relationships, overall credit quality has remained stable and we continue to see signs of improvement as
evidenced by improved credit quality of non-impaired loans and significant reductions in net charge-offs with 2011
net charge offs decreasing $797 thousand as compared to 2010.  Based upon an analysis of the factors mentioned
above, the Corporation’s provision for loan losses for 2011 totaled $958 thousand compared to $1.125 million the
previous year, a decrease of $167 thousand.

 
31

 

As noted above, net charge-offs for 2011 as compared to 2010 decreased $797 thousand from $1.594 million to
$797 thousand.  This improvement was principally due to decreases in net commercial and consumer loan charge-
offs totaling $618 thousand and $119 thousand, respectively, as well as a $61 thousand decrease in net residential
mortgage charge-offs.  At December 31, 2011, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses totaled $9.659 million,
resulting in a coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans of 46.2%.  As noted above, included in non-
performing loans at December 31, 2011 were loans which carried USDA guarantees totaling $4.847 million.  Also
included in the non-performing loan totals are other loans with remaining balances totaling $173 thousand on which
the Corporation has previously recognized partial charge-offs in the amount of $228 thousand.  Excluding the
USDA guaranteed amount and other loans for which partial charge-offs have already been recognized from the
non-performing total, the coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans was 60.8%. This ratio as well as the
ratio of allowance to total loans was impacted by the Capital Bank acquisition, as current accounting rules do not
allow the acquirer to transfer the acquiree’s allowance for loan losses to the acquirer’s balance sheet.  Rather, the
acquiree’s overall loan quality is a component in determining the fair value of loans acquired, which are carried on
the balance sheet at fair value.  Excluding acquired loans reported above as non-performing loans totaling $7.963
million, as well as the aforementioned USDA guarantee and loans for which partial charge-offs have already been
recognized, the allowance to non-performing loan ratio was 121.8%.  Excluding loans acquired in the Capital Bank
acquisition, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.47% and represents an amount that management
believes is adequate to absorb probable incurred loan losses on the Corporation’s legacy loan portfolio.

The allocated portions of the allowance reflect management's estimates of specific known risk elements in the
respective portfolios.  Management's methodology followed in evaluating the allowance for loan losses includes a
detailed analysis of historical loss factors for pools of similarly graded loans, as well as specific collateral reviews
of relationships graded special mention, substandard or doubtful with outstanding balances of $1.0 million or
greater. Among the factors considered in allocating portions of the allowance by loan type are the current levels of
past due, non-accrual and impaired loans, as well as historical loss experience and the evaluation of collateral.  In
addition, management has formally documented factors considered in determining the appropriate level of general
reserves, including current economic conditions, forecasted trends in the credit quality cycle, loan growth, entry
into new markets, and industry and peer group trends.  These amounts have been included in the allocated portion
of the loan categories to which they relate.  In 2011, the historical loss experience used to determine the loss
allocations for criticized and classified loans, as well as non-criticized consumer loans all decreased.  These
decreases resulted in a reduction to the loss factors applied to estimate general reserves for these portfolio segments
and, as a consequence, a reduction in the general reserve allocations.
 
At December 31, 2011, in addition to the qualitative factors allocated within the allowance, the Corporation
maintained $443 thousand of the allowance as unallocated.  While some preliminary improvements have been seen
in the local economy and while some loans have improved, the recovery is still very fragile and management
believes it is prudent to see a longer period of sustained improvement before completely reflecting this in the
allowance.  Additionally, management monitors coverage ratios of nonperforming loans and total loans compared
to peers on a regular basis.  This analysis also suggests that it would not be prudent to eliminate the unallocated
portion of the allowance at this time.

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 Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") 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 $69.8 million and $64.4
million at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

During 2011, cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.7 million as compared to a decrease of $19.1 million during
2010.  In addition to cash provided by operating activities, other major sources of cash during 2011 included
proceeds from sales, maturities, calls and principal reductions on securities totaling $123.9 million, $25.1 million in
net cash received in the FOFC acquisition and an $11.7 million increase in deposits.  These proceeds were used
primarily to fund purchases of securities totaling $132.3 million, a $19.3 million net increase in loans, a decrease in
securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaling $18.2 million, an $8.0 million contribution to the
Corporation’s defined benefit pension plan, the payment of cash dividends in the amount of $4.1 million and
purchases of fixed assets totaling $2.6 million, as well as a $910 thousand decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, purchases of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock totaling $602 thousand and
purchases of treasury shares in the amount of $501 thousand.

 
33

 

In addition to cash provided by operating activities, other major sources of cash during 2010 included proceeds
from sales, maturities and principal reductions on securities totaling $154.7 million and proceeds from the sale of
OREO in the amount of $318 thousand.  Proceeds from the above were used principally to fund purchases of
securities totaling $141.7 million, a $20.1 million increase in loans, a $14.7 million decrease in deposits, a $9.5
million reduction in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the payment of cash dividends totaling $3.5
million and purchases of fixed assets and treasury stock totaling $2.1 million and $426 thousand, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011, the Bank’s leverage ratio was 7.92%.  The Tier I and Total Risk Adjusted Capital ratios
were 11.36% and 12.80%, respectively.  All of the above ratios are in excess of the requirements for being
considered "well capitalized" by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the New York State Department of Financial
Services.  Cash dividends declared during 2011 totaled $4.316 million or $1.00 per share compared to $3.521
million or $1.00 per share in 2010 and $3.522 million or $1.00 per share in 2009.  Dividends declared during 2011
amounted to 41.0% of net income compared to 34.9% and 67.3% of 2010 and 2009 net income, respectively.  It is
management's objective to continue generating sufficient capital internally, while continuing to pay adequate
dividends to our shareholders.

When shares of the Corporation become available in the market, we may purchase them after careful consideration
of our capital position.  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 authorizes 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.  Purchases may
be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of
management.  Through December 31, 2011, a total of 43,244 shares had been purchased under this program.  
During 2011, the Corporation purchased 22,513 shares at a total cost of $529 thousand, including 1,087 shares of
forfeited restricted stock awards, or an average price of $23.50 per share.  Additionally, during 2011, 31,390 shares
were re-issued from treasury to fund the stock component of directors’ 2010 compensation, distributions under the
Corporation’s directors’ deferred stock plan, a stock grant to an executive officer, restricted stock grants to senior
officers and funding for the Corporation’s profit sharing, savings and investment plan.  During 2010, the
Corporation purchased 20,260 shares at a total cost of $426 thousand or an average price of $21.01 per share, while
in 2009, 7,778 treasury shares were purchased at a total cost of $156 thousand or an average price of $20.08 per
share.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, the Corporation engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, 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 2011 vs. 2010

Net income in 2011 totaled $10.538 million, an increase of $436 thousand or 4.3% over 2010 net income of $
10.102 million.  Earnings per share decreased 14.3% from $2.80 to $2.40 per share on 776,302 additional average
shares outstanding.  Included in the 2011 numbers are direct acquisition related transaction costs totaling $2.255
million related to the Corporation’s acquisition of FOFC and its banking subsidiary, Capital Bank, on April 8, 2011,
while the 2010 numbers include $3.982 million of revenue resulting from an earlier than anticipated settlement of
an unusually large estate during the fourth quarter of 2010, somewhat offset by direct acquisition transaction costs
totaling $482 thousand.  Excluding the impact of these items from both years, net income would have totaled
$11.994 million or $2.74 per share in 2011 and $8.143 million or $2.26 per share in 2010.  This improvement is
attributed in large part to the acquisition, as during 2011, excluding direct transaction costs, Capital Bank
contributed an estimated $3.3 million to net income in just under nine months, or earnings per share accretion of
approximately 14.6%.

 
35

 

Net interest income increased $9.319 million or 27.0% from $34.530 million in 2010 to $43.849 million, with the
net interest margin up 26 basis points to 4.07%.  We attribute this increase principally to the Capital Bank
acquisition, as a $172.9 million or 19.1% increase in average earning assets and a 34 basis point decrease in the cost
of average interest bearing liabilities was partially offset by a 2 basis point decrease in the yield on average earning
assets.  The $172.9 million increase in average earning assets included a $150.4 million increase in average loans,
with Capital Bank loans contributing $126.7 million to this increase, a $19.0 million increase in the average
investment portfolio due to $32.7 million in Capital Bank average investments and a $3.6 million increase in
average interest bearing deposits at other financial institutions.  While, on average, earning assets increased 19.1%,
total interest and dividend income increased $7.902 million or 18.5%, with the yield on average earning assets
decreasing 2 basis points to 4.70%.

Total average funding liabilities, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, increased $160.4 million or
18.1% to $1.046 billion as average deposits and borrowings increased $147.5 million and $12.9 million,
respectively.  In total, average non-interest bearing deposits increased $46.2 million, with Capital Bank non-interest
bearing deposits comprising $18.3 million of that increase.  Average interest bearing deposits increased $101.3
million due to $115.6 million in Capital Bank average interest bearing deposits.  The increase in average interest
bearing deposits was reflected principally in a $57.1 million increase in average savings account balances, as well
as increases in average time and NOW deposits totaling $22.5 million and $20.6 million, respectively and a $1.1
million increase in average IMMA balances.  The increase in average borrowings was due to borrowings assumed
by the Corporation in the Capital Bank acquisition.  While average interest-bearing liabilities increased $114.2
million or 16.6%, interest expense decreased $1.417 million or 17.2%, as the cost of average interest-bearing
liabilities decreased 34 basis points to 0.85%.

As discussed under the Asset Quality section of this report, despite an increase in impaired loans and specific
allocations for impaired loans, the year-to-date provision for loan losses decreased $167 thousand due to overall
credit quality improvement in the remainder of the loan portfolio, as well as lower net charge-offs, and reflects
management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors,
including an analysis of historical loss factors, the evaluation of collateral, recent charge-off experience, overall
credit quality, current economic conditions and loan growth.

Non-interest income decreased $2.180 million or 11.1% to $17.464 million due principally to a $3.787
million decrease in Wealth Management Group fee income resulting from the aforementioned settlement of an unusually
large estate that generated $3.982 million in revenue during 2010, as well as a $271 thousand decrease in service
charges.  These decreases were partially offset primarily by a $657 thousand increase in gains on securities
transactions and a $388 thousand increase in revenue from the Corporation’s equity investment in Cephas Capital
Partners, L.P., due in large part to gains recognized on the exercise of stock warrants held in two of its investments,
as well as $326 thousand decrease in OTTI charges on trust preferred securities pools held in the Corporation’s
investment portfolio and a $299 thousand increase in check card interchange fee income.

 
36

 

Operating expenses increased $6.942 million or 18.3% to $44.784 million in 2011.  Excluding the above mentioned
direct acquisition costs totaling $2.255 million and $482 thousand in 2011 and 2010, respectively, all other
operating expenses increased $5.169 million or 13.8%.  The major factors affecting this increase include a $1.793
million increase in salaries, a $930 thousand increase in employee benefits, a $681 thousand increase in net
occupancy costs and a $552 thousand increase in data processing costs.  The increase in salaries reflects the
increase in staff following the Capital Bank acquisition as well as merit increases throughout the year, while the
increase in employee benefits was due in large part to a $321 thousand increase in health insurance costs, as well as
increases in payroll taxes and the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plan expense totaling $272 thousand and
$198 thousand, respectively, and a $41 thousand increase in the Corporation’s non-discretionary 401-K plan.  The
increase in net occupancy costs was due principally to increased costs associated with the new offices acquired in
the Capital Bank acquisition as well as higher maintenance costs at other offices.  Higher data processing costs
were impacted by higher data communication line charges, an increase in check card processing fees and higher
Wealth Management Group, internet and web-banking costs.  Other factors impacting the increase in operating
expenses include increases in amortization of intangible assets and marketing and advertising costs totaling $310
thousand and $117 thousand, respectively, both of which are related to the Capital Bank acquisition, as well a $258
thousand increase in professional services fees, a $170 thousand increase in furniture and equipment expenses and a
$149 thousand increase in stationery and supplies.  The above increases were offset in part by a $244 thousand
decrease OREO expenses and a $230 thousand decrease in FDIC insurance assessments.

While 2011 pre-tax income increased $364 thousand from 2010, income tax expense decreased $72 thousand. The
effective tax rate was 32.3% for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 33.6% for the year ended
December 31, 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate and income tax expense is primarily related to two items.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, non-deductible acquisition costs decreased by $235 thousand.  In addition,
the Internal Revenue Service completed their 2009 examination of the final Canton Bancorp, Inc. tax return.  This
resulted in the settlement of an uncertain tax position and the recognition of a $48 thousand tax benefit.


Results of Operations 2010 vs. 2009

Net income in 2010 totaled $10.102 million, an increase of $4.869 million compared to 2009 net income of $5.233
million.  Earnings per share increased 93.1% from $1.45 per share to $2.80 per share.  This increase, relative to
2009 results, was due in part to direct transaction costs incurred in 2009 totaling $1.448 million related to the
Corporation’s May 2009 acquisition of Canton Bancorp, Inc. ("Canton"), as well as an FDIC insurance special
assessment in the second quarter of 2009 totaling $439 thousand.  However, as discussed below, the earnings
increase in 2010 was driven primarily by higher net interest income and non-interest income, as well as a decrease
in the provision for loan loss expense, partially offset by higher operating expenses (excluding the above mentioned
direct transaction costs and FDIC special assessment) and higher income taxes.

Net interest income increased $1.375 million or 4.1% from $33.155 million in 2009 to $34.530 million, while the
net interest margin decreased 8 basis points to 3.81%.  The improvement in net interest income resulted from an
increase in average earning assets and a 54 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities,
offset in part by a 50 basis point decrease in the average yield on earning assets.  A $53.1 million or 6.2% increase
in average earning assets in 2010 was principally due to a $34.8 million increase in average securities, as well as
increases in average fed funds sold and interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions and average loans
totaling $14.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively.  The increase in average loans reflects a $14.0 million
increase in average loans associated with the Canton acquisition, as during 2010 the Corporation benefited from
having these balances for the entire year.  While on average, earning assets increased 6.2%, total interest and
dividend income was down $1.744 million or 3.9%, as the average yield on earning assets decreased 50 basis points
 to 4.72%.

 
37

 

Total average funding liabilities, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, increased $54.5 million or 6.6%
as a $65.2 million increase in average deposits was partially offset by a $10.7 million decrease in average other
borrowed funds. Approximately $29.9 million of the increase in average deposits was related to the
Canton acquisition.  In total, average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $20.5 million, while average interest
bearing deposits increased $44.7 million.  The increase in average interest bearing deposits was reflected primarily
in higher average insured money market and savings deposits of $39.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively.
Additionally, average NOW account balances increased $5.1 million.  These increases were partially offset by an
$11.4 million decrease in average time deposits.  The decrease in average other borrowings was due to a $10.7
million decrease in average securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  While average interest bearing
liabilities increased $34.0 million or 5.2%, interest expense decreased $3.119 million or 27.5%, as the average cost
of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 54 basis points from 1.73% to 1.19%.

The 2010 provision for loan losses of $1.125 million was $1.325 million lower than the 2009 provision.  This
decrease was principally due to decreases in non-performing and potential problem loans, as well as a decrease
in specific allocations for impaired loans, and reflects management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses based upon a number of factors, including an analysis of historical loss factors, the evaluation of
collateral, recent charge-off experience, overall credit quality, the current economic environment and loan growth.

Non-interest income increased $3.935 million or 25.0% to $19.645 million.  This increase was significantly
impacted by a $2.408 million increase in Wealth Management Group fee income and a $1.849 million decrease
in other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") charges on two CDO’s consisting of pools of trust preferred securities
issued by other financial institutions.  The increase in Wealth Management Group fee income was largely due to an
earlier than anticipated closing of an unusually large estate during the fourth quarter of 2010 which resulted in the
recognition of additional fee income in the fourth quarter totaling $1.882 million.  In 2010 and 2009, fee income
related to this estate totaled $3.982 million and $2.100 million, respectively.  OTTI charges were down from $2.242
million in 2009 to $393 thousand in 2010, principally due to a reduced level of deterioration in credit quality of the
underlying issuers during the period.  During 2010 we continued to receive all contractual payments on these
securities.  Excluding the increase in Wealth Management Group fee income and the reduction in OTTI charges,
all other non-interest income was down approximately $322 thousand primarily due to a $711 thousand decrease in
service charges attributed to lower net overdraft fee income, a $334 thousand decrease in gains recognized on the
sale of securities and a $170 thousand reduction in cash management fee income.  These decreases were partially
offset by a $415 thousand increase in check card interchange fee income, a $250 thousand increase in revenue from
the Corporation’s equity investment in Cephas Capital Partners, LP, a small business investment company limited
partnership, and a $220 thousand increase in revenue of CFS Group, Inc.

 
38

 

Operating expenses decreased $1.479 million or 3.8% to $37.843 million in 2010.  As noted above, this decrease
reflects direct transaction costs incurred in the 2009 Canton acquisition and the 2009 FDIC special assessment
totaling $1.448 million and $439 thousand, respectively.  All other operating expenses in 2010 increased $408
thousand or 1.1% due principally to a $541 thousand increase in salaries (excluding 2009 direct transaction costs
of $253 thousand), a $467 thousand increase in professional services fees (excluding 2009 direct transaction costs of
$159 thousand), a $361 thousand increase in data processing costs (excluding 2009 direct transaction costs of
$1.027 million) and increases in marketing and advertising and other real estate owned ("OREO") expenses totaling
$217 thousand and $185 thousand, respectively.  The increase in salaries reflects merit increases over the past year
as well as additions to staff associated with the May 2009 Canton acquisition, while the increase in professional
services fees was largely due to legal and investment banking fees related to the Corporation’s acquisition of Fort
Orange Financial Corp.  Higher data processing costs reflect increases in check card and Wealth Management Group
processing costs.  The increase in marketing and advertising was impacted by increases in print, television
and billboard adverting, while the increase in OREO expense was due in large part to write-downs of four
properties during 2010 following the receipt of updated appraisals.  These increases were offset to some extent
primarily by a $1.230 million decrease in pension and other employee benefit costs as pension and health insurance
expenses decreased $1.017 million and $292 thousand, respectively.  The reduction in pension cost was principally
due to an increase in plan asset values during 2009 resulting from much improved equity markets during that year,
which also resulted in a decrease in the amortization of net unrecognized losses on plan assets, while the decrease
in health insurance reflects a reduced level of claims under the Corporation’s self-insured health plan.  Other factors
include a $202 thousand decrease in amortization of intangible assets and a $100 thousand reduction in stationery
and supplies expense.

The $3.245 million increase in income tax expense was due primarily to an $8.114 million increase in pre-tax
income, while the increase in the effective tax rate from 26.2% to 33.6% reflects a decrease in the relative
percentage of tax-exempt income to pre-tax income.

CHANGES DUE TO VOLUME AND RATE

The following table demonstrates the impact on net interest income of the changes in the volume of earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in rates earned and paid by the Corporation.  For purposes of
constructing this table, average investment securities are at average amortized cost and earning asset averages
include non-performing loans.  Therefore, the impact of changing levels of non-performing loans is reflected in
the change due to rate, but does not affect changes due to volume.  No tax equivalent adjustments were made.

Interest Rate Risk

As intermediaries between borrowers and savers, commercial banks incur both interest rate risk and liquidity risk.  
The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) has the strategic responsibility for setting the policy
guidelines on acceptable exposure to these areas.  These guidelines contain specific measures and limits regarding
these risks, which are monitored on a regular basis.  The ALCO is made up of the president & chief executive
officer, the chief financial officer, the asset liability management officer and other officers representing key
functions.

The ALCO is also responsible for supervising the preparation and annual revisions of the financial segments of
the annual budget, which is built upon the committee's economic and interest-rate assumptions.  It is the
responsibility of the ALCO to modify prudently the Corporation's asset/liability policies.

Interest rate risk is the risk that net interest income will fluctuate as a result of a change in interest rates.  It is the
assumption of interest rate risk, along with credit risk, that drives the net interest margin of a financial institution.
For that reason, the ALCO has established tolerance limits based upon a 200-basis point change in interest rates.  
At December 31, 2011, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would
negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 9.86% and an immediate 200-basis point increase
would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 2.76%. Both are within the Corporation's
policy guideline of 15% established by ALCO. Given the overall low level of current interest rates and the
unlikely event of a 200-basis point decline from this point, management additionally modeled an immediate 100-
basis point decline and an immediate 300-basis point increase in interest rates. When applied, it is estimated these
scenarios would result in negative impacts to net interest income of 4.82% and 4.47%, respectively.  Management
is comfortable with the level of exposures at these levels.

 
41

 

A related component of interest rate risk is the expectation that the market value of our capital account will
fluctuate with changes in interest rates.  This component is a direct corollary to the earnings-impact component:
an institution exposed to earnings erosion is also exposed to shrinkage in market value.  At December 31, 2011, it
is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the market value
of our capital account by 10.47% and an immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would positively
impact the market value by 0.54%.  Both are within the established tolerance limit of 15%.  Management also
modeled the impact to the market value of our capital with an immediate 100-basis point decline and an
immediate 300-basis point increase in interest rates, based on the current interest rate environment.  When
applied, it is estimated these scenarios would result in negative impacts to the market value of our capital of
7.54% and 1.27% respectively.

Management is also comfortable with the level of exposures at these levels.

Management does recognize the need for certain hedging strategies during periods of anticipated higher
fluctuations in interest rates and the Board-approved Funds Management Policy provides for limited use of certain
derivatives in asset liability management. These strategies were not employed during 2011.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In December 2010, the FASB amended existing guidance relating to Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma
Information for Business Combinations.  This guidance specifies that if a public entity presents comparative
financial statements, the entity (acquirer) should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though
the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the
comparable prior annual reporting period only. The guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures
to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly
attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. We disclosed
pro forma information in the notes to consolidated financial statements of the merger with Fort Orange Financial
Corp. See Note 21 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a
restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring.  The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor’s evaluation of
whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. With regard to
determining whether a concession has been granted, the ASU clarifies that creditors are precluded from using the
effective interest method to determine whether a concession has been granted. In the absence of using the
effective interest method, a creditor must now focus on other considerations such as the value of the underlying
collateral, evaluation of other collateral or guarantees, the debtor’s ability to access other funds at market rates,
interest rate increases and whether the restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant.  This
guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011, and had to be applied
retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  For purposes of measuring impairment on
newly identified troubled debt restructurings, the amendments had to be applied prospectively for the first interim
or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect
on the Corporation’s operating results or financial condition.
 
In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other
comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The amendment requires that
comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive
statements.  The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and
interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption
of this amendment will change the presentation of the components of comprehensive income for the Corporation
as part of the consolidated statement of shareholder’s equity.

ITEM 7A.                      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Corporation's main market risk exposure is to changing interest rates.  A discussion of the Corporation's
exposure to changing interest rates is included under the heading "Interest Rate Risk" in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


ITEM 8.                      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The financial statements listed in Item 15 are filed as part of this report and appear on pages F-1 through F-57.


ITEM 9.                      CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.


Item 9A.                      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, 2011.  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 effective as of December 31, 2011.

During the third fiscal quarter of 2011, a deficiency in the design and operation of internal controls at the branch
level was identified that permitted an alleged misappropriation of funds to go undetected.  This deficiency did not
have a material affect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.  Management has taken
appropriate steps to remediate the design and operation of these controls.

During the fourth fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal
control over financial reporting.

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.


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, 2011 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
"Internal Control-Integrated Framework," issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the
Treadway Commission.  Based on the assessment, we assert that the Corporation maintained effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 based on the specified criteria.

Crowe Horwath LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, which audited the Corporation's 2011
consolidated financial statements included in this report, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the
Corporation's internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 9B.                      OTHER INFORMATION

On November 7, 2011, Chemung Canal Trust Company entered into a Change of Control Agreement with Karen
R. Makowski, an executive vice president of the Bank. The Change of Control Agreement is similar to the
Change in Control Agreements in place with other executive officers of the Company. Under the Change of
Control Agreements, each executive is eligible to receive payments and other benefits, subject to certain
conditions, if his/her employment is terminated without Cause (as defined in the agreements) within the twelve
month period immediately following a change in control or if he/she resigns for any reason within such period.
The Change of Control Agreements provide for payments of two times the highest annual compensation
(including only salary and bonuses) paid to the executive for any of two calendar years immediately preceding the
year in which the executive’s employment is terminated or he/she resigns. Payments will be made in equal
monthly installments for the twenty-four months immediately following the effective date of termination or
resignation.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Change of Control Agreement entered into
with Ms. Makowski, a copy of which is filed with this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibit 10.16.

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, 2011
and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.  We also have audited Chemung Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in 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 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 the 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 controls 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.

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, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.  Also, in our opinion, Chemung Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control –
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

(1)           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, 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 other-than-temporary impairment (“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) other-than-temporary impairment (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.

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.



 
F-7

 
 

Securities are placed on non-accrual status when management believes there are significant doubts regarding the
ultimate collectability of interest and/or principal. 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 earned.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK (FHLB) AND FEDERAL RESERVE BANK (FRB) STOCK

The Bank is a member of both the FHLB and FRB system.  FHLB members are required to own a certain amount
of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, while FRB members are required to own a certain
amount of stock based on a percentage of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus.  FHLB and FRB 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.  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 less unearned discounts and net deferred origination
fees and costs.  The Corporation has the ability and intent to hold its loans for the foreseeable future.

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.

LOAN CONCENTRATIONS

The loan portfolio is widely diversified by types of borrowers, industry groups, and market areas within our core
footprint.  Significant loan concentrations are considered to exist for a financial institution when there are
amounts loaned to numerous borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly
impacted by economic or other conditions.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, 22.5% and 10.4%, respectively, of
the Corporation’s loans consisted of commercial real estate loans to borrowers in the real estate, rental or leasing
sector. The major portion of this sector comprises borrowers that rent, lease or otherwise allow the use of their
own assets by others.  No other significant concentrations existed in the Corporation’s portfolio in excess of 10%
of total loans as of December 31, 2011 or 2010.





 
F-8

 
 
 
Purchased Credit Impaired Loans:  The Corporation purchased individual loans and groups of loans, some of
which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  These purchased loans are recorded at the
amount paid, such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses.  After acquisition, losses are
recognized by an increase in the provision 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).

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 loss is recorded.  If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the
carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

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.  The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb
probable incurred losses on existing loans.  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 problem loans (including evaluations of the
underlying collateral).  Historical loss experience is adjusted by management based on their judgment as to the
current impact of qualitative factors including changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio,
overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.  
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses.  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.

Management, after considering current information and events regarding the borrower's ability to repay their
obligations, classifies a loan as impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in
determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, 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 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.

If a loan is impaired, 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. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential
real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for
impairment disclosures.  Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are
measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception.  If a
troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair
value of the collateral.  For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Corporation determines the
amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.
 
F-9

 
 

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 economic factors based on the risks present for
each portfolio class.  These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in
delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms
of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies,
procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national
and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.
The following portfolio segments have been identified:  commercial, financial and agricultural; commercial
mortgages; residential mortgages; and consumer loans.

Risk Characteristics

Commercial, financial 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, inferring 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.

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.



 
F-10

 
 

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.  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.

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 expected 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 totaled $1.596 billion at December 31,
2011 and $1.625 billion at December 31, 2010.

PENSION PLAN

Pension costs, based on actuarial computations of benefits for employees, are charged to current operating results.  
The Corporation's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet minimum regulatory
funding requirements, plus such additional amounts as the Corporation may determine to be appropriate from
time to time.  On April 21, 2010 the Corporation's Board of Directors approved an amendment to the
Corporation’s Defined Benefit Pension Plan.  Under the amendment, which became effective on July 1, 2010,
new employees hired on or after the effective date will not be eligible to participate in the plan, however, existing
participants at that time will continue to accrue benefits.  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.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Corporation sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that provides postretirement medical benefits to
employees who meet minimum age and service requirements.  Postretirement life insurance benefits are also
provided to certain employees who retired prior to July 1981.

Compensation cost is recognized for restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these
awards at the date of the grant.  The market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of the grant is
used for restricted stock awards.

 
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.  
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated
residual values.  Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.

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 Cascio Financial Strategies in May of 2008, the acquisition of Canton Bancorp, Inc. in May 2009,
and the acquisition of Fort Orange Financial Corp. in April 2011 with balances of $3.427 million, $357 thousand,
$72 thousand, $49 thousand and $2.285 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011.  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 and 7 year accelerated method, respectively.  The customer
relationship intangible for Cascio Financial is being expensed over a 5 year period.  The identifiable core deposit
intangible related to the FOFC acquisition is being amortized using a 10 year sum-of-the-years digits method.  
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, 2011.

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 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's operations are solely in the financial services industry and primarily include the provision of
traditional banking and wealth management services.  The Corporation operates primarily in the New York
counties of Albany, Broome, Chemung, Saratoga, Steuben, Schuyler, Tioga and Tompkins, and the northern tier
of Pennsylvania.  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 advisory services.

RECLASSIFICATION

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


ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2010, the FASB amended existing guidance relating to Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma
Information for Business Combinations.  This guidance specifies that if a public entity presents comparative
financial statements, the entity (acquirer) should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though
the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the
comparable prior annual reporting period only. The guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures
to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly
attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. We disclosed
pro forma information in the notes to consolidated financial statements of the merger with Fort Orange Financial
Corp. See Note 21 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.




 
F-13

 
 
 
In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a
restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring.  The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor’s evaluation of
whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. With regard to
determining whether a concession has been granted, the ASU clarifies that creditors are precluded from using the
effective interest method to determine whether a concession has been granted. In the absence of using the
effective interest method, a creditor must now focus on other considerations such as the value of the underlying
collateral, evaluation of other collateral or guarantees, the debtor’s ability to access other funds at market rates,
interest rate increases and whether the restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant.  This
guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011, and had to be applied
retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  For purposes of measuring impairment on
newly identified troubled debt restructurings, the amendments had to be applied prospectively for the first interim
or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect
on the Corporation’s operating results or financial condition.

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other
comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The amendment requires that
comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive
statements.  The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and
interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption
of this amendment will change the presentation of the components of comprehensive income for the Corporation
as part of the consolidated statement of shareholder’s equity.


(2)           RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANK ACCOUNTS

The Corporation is required to maintain certain reserves of vault cash and/or deposits with the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York.  The amount of this reserve requirement was $750,000 at both December 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010.  The Corporation was in compliance with the requirement as of December 31, 2011 and
2010.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

When OTTI occurs, for either debt securities or purchased beneficial interests, the amount of the OTTI recognized
in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell
the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to
sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less
any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the
investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the
security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its
amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the
credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is
determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The
amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable
taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost
basis of the investment.

As of December 31, 2011, the majority of the Corporation's unrealized losses in the investment securities
portfolio related to two pooled trust preferred securities. The decline in fair value on these securities is primarily
attributable to the financial crisis and resulting credit deterioration and financial condition of the underlying
issuers, all of which are financial institutions.  This deterioration may affect the future receipt of both principal
and interest payments on these securities.  This fact combined with the current illiquidity in the market makes it
unlikely that the Corporation would be able to recover its investment in these securities if the securities were sold
at this time.  One of these securities has been previously written down through the income statement to an amount
considered to be immaterial to the financial statements.  Therefore management is no longer analyzing this
security for further impairment.

Our analysis of these investments includes a $629 thousand book value collateralized debt obligation ("CDO")
which is a pooled trust preferred security. This security was rated high quality at inception, but at December 31,
2011 Moody's rated this security as Caa3, which is defined as substantial risk of default.  The Corporation uses
the OTTI evaluation model to compare the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to
determine if there are adverse changes in cash flows during each quarter. The OTTI model considers the structure
and term of the CDO and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically, the model details interest
rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the timing and amount of interest and principal
payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation of the payments to the note classes. The current estimate of
expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information
including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults of underlying trust preferred securities.

Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and prepayments.  We assume no recoveries
on defaults and treat all interest payment deferrals as defaults.

In determining the amount of "currently performing" collateral for the purposes of modeling the expected future
cash flows, management analyzed the default and deferral history over the past 3 years. This review indicated
significant increases in the number and amount of defaults and deferrals by the issuers.  Additionally,
management has noted the correlation between the rising levels of non-performing loans as a percent of tangible
equity (total shareholders’ equity less intangible assets) plus loan loss reserves by those issuers that have
defaulted and/or deferred interest payments.  Therefore management has used this ratio as a primary indicator to
project the levels of future defaults for modeling purposes.  Management recognizes the potential of defaults and
deferrals to continue over the next 12 to 24 months.  The operating environment remains difficult for community
and regional banks in many parts of the country, which could lead to higher default and deferral levels.  Ninety-
two depository institutions were closed by regulators during 2011.

The following table provides detailed information related to the pooled trust preferred security analyzed at
December 31, 2011:

Description
 
Actual Deferrals as % of Outstanding Collateral
   
Actual Defaults as % of Original Collateral
   
Excess Subordination as % of Performing Collateral
   
Expected Additional Defaults as % of Performing Collateral
 
                         
TPREF Funding II, Ltd. (Class B)
    17.90 %     16.06 %     -44.26 %     16.14 %

 

 
 
F-18

 
 

In the table above, "Excess Subordination as % of Performing Collateral" was calculated by dividing the
difference between the total face value of performing collateral less the face value of all outstanding note balances
not subordinate to our investment, by the total face value of performing collateral.  This ratio measures the extent
to which there may be tranches within a pooled trust preferred structure available to absorb credit losses before
the Corporation’s security would be impacted.  As mentioned earlier, the levels of defaults and deferrals in this
pool has increased significantly in recent months, which have resulted in a significant reduction in the amount of
performing collateral.  As a result, the negative Excess Subordination as a % of Performing Collateral percentages
shown above indicate there is no support from subordinate tranches available to absorb losses before the
Corporation’s security would be impacted.  A negative ratio is not the only factor to consider when determining if
OTTI should be recorded.  Other factors affect the timing and amount of cash flows available for payments to
investors such as the excess interest paid by the issuers, as issuers typically pay higher rates of interest than are
paid out to investors.

During 2011, our analyses indicated additional other-than-temporary impairment of $67 thousand on the TPREF
Funding II security.  This security remained classified as available for sale and represented $352 thousand of the
unrealized losses reported at December 31, 2011.  Payments continue to be made as agreed on this security.
 
When conducting the analyses, the present value of expected future cash flows using a discount rate equal to the
yield in effect at the time of purchase was compared to the previous quarters' analysis.  During 2011, these
analyses indicated further decline in value attributed to credit related factors stemming from further deterioration
in the underlying collateral payment streams.  Additionally, to estimate fair value the present value of the
expected future cash flows was calculated using a current estimated discount rate that a willing market participant
might use to value the security based on current market conditions and interest rates.  During the year, these
comparisons indicated an increase in value based on factors other than credit which resulted in a gain reported in
other comprehensive income.  Changes in credit quality may or may not correlate to changes in the overall fair
value of the impaired securities as the change in credit quality is only one component in assessing the overall fair
value of the impaired securities.  Therefore, the recognition of additional credit related OTTI could result in a gain
reported in other comprehensive income.  Total other-than-temporary impairment recognized in accumulated
other comprehensive income was $220,459 and $238,180 for securities available for sale at December 31,2011
and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Residential mortgages held for sale as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaling $395,427 and $486,997,
respectively, are not included in the above table.

Residential mortgages totaling $112,956,988 at December 31, 2011 and $97,036,042 at December 31, 2010 were
pledged under a blanket collateral agreement for the Corporation's line of credit with the FHLB.

The Corporation's market area encompasses the New York State counties of Albany, Broome, Chemung,
Saratoga, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga, and Tompkins, as well as Bradford County in the northern tier of
Pennsylvania.  Substantially all of the Corporation's outstanding loans are with borrowers living or doing business
within 25 miles of the Corporation's branches in these counties. The Corporation's concentrations of credit risk by
loan type are reflected in the preceding table.  The concentrations of credit risk with standby letters of credit,
committed lines of credit and commitments to originate new loans generally follow the loan classifications in the
table above.

Risk Characteristics

Commercial, financial 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, inferring 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.








 
F-21

 
 

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.


No allowance for loan losses was recorded as of December 30, 2011 for loans acquired as part of the FOFC 
merger.  These loans were recorded at fair value at the time of the acquisition.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

The Corporation has $218 thousand of allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been
modified in troubled debt restructurings which are included in non-accrual loans as of  December 31, 2011.  There 
were no specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of
December 31, 2010.  The Corporation has not committed to lend any additional amounts as of December 31, 2011
or December 31, 2010 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as trouble debt restructurings.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, no loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings
by the Corporation.  Additionally, there were no payment defaults on any loans previously modified as troubled debt
restructurings 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 categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of
borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit
documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  The Corporation analyzes
loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  This analysis includes new consumer, mortgage and
home equity loans and lines with outstanding balances greater than $50 thousand, $250 thousand and $100
thousand, respectively, along with a sample of existing loans and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial
and commercial real estate loans.  The loans meeting these criteria are reviewed at least annually.  The
Corporation uses the following definitions for risk rating:

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.



 
F-26

 
 


Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are
considered to be not rated loans.  Loans shown as not rated are monitored for credit quality primarily based on
payment status which is disclosed elsewhere.  Based on the analysis’s performed as of December 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, the risk category of the recorded investment of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, which is determined
through a two-step impairment test.  Step one includes the determination of the carrying value of the reporting
unit, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, and estimating the fair value of the reporting unit.  If
the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we are required to perform a second step to the
impairment test.  The Corporation performed Step one of the two-step impairment test and determined that
goodwill was not impaired.


Acquired intangible assets were as follows at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

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:

The Corporation finalized its examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the final 2009 tax return filed by
Canton Bancorp, Inc.  The settlement resulted in a reversal of the Corporation’s uncertain tax position.  As of
December 31, 2011, the Corporation did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.  At December 31, 2010, the
Corporation had $123,530 of net unrecognized tax benefits and interest.

As of December 31, 2011, there was no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.  At December 31,
2010, accrued interest related to uncertain tax position was $7,000, net of the related tax benefit.  The Corporation
accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for Federal and
state income taxes.

The Corporation is not currently subject to examinations by Federal or New York State taxing authorities for the
years prior to 2008.


(11)           PENSION PLAN AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS

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 principal actuarial assumptions used in determining the net periodic benefit cost for the years ended

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 2011, the Corporation may
make changes at any time.

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 above table December 31, 2011 actual cash exceeds the target allocation due to an $8,000,000 contribution
made by the Corporation to the plan during the last week of December 2011.

 
F-35

 
 

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, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011 and 2010, by asset class are as follows:

The Corporation does not expect to contribute to the plan during 2012.  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.

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.

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 $331,689, $332,133, and $315,731 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.  The plan's assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010, include 191,393 and 185,692 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 $40,930 at December 31, 2011 to a non-discretionary 401K plan which covers
all eligible employees hired after July 1, 2010.

The Corporation sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that provides postretirement medical benefits to
employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. Postretirement life insurance benefits are also
provided to certain employees who retired prior to July 1981. 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 Corporation uses a December 31 measurement date for its postretirement medical benefits plan.

gain or loss is less than 10% of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation no amortization is anticipated in
2012.  Actual results for 2012 will depend on the 2012 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 2012 is $145,000.


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, 2011 and 2010.

The Corporation uses a December 31 measurement date for its Executive Supplemental Pension Plan.

(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 member of the Board of Directors.  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 CEO 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 twelve (12) months during the prior year.

An expense of $233 thousand related to this compensation was recognized during the year of 2011.  During
January 2012, 10,238 shares were re-issued from treasury to fund the stock component of directors' compensation.


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.  The maximum
number of shares as to which stock awards may be granted under the Plan is 10,000 per year, with these shares
vesting over a 5 year period.

A summary of restricted stock activity as of December 31, 2011, and changes during the year then ended, is
presented below:

As of December 31, 2011, there was $273,923 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 4.57
years.  The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $27,613
and $0, respectively.

(15)           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:

   
2011
   
2010
 
   
Fixed Rate
   
Variable Rate
   
Fixed Rate

Commitments to make loans

Standby letters of credit
 
$
-
   
$
13,562,577
   
$
-
   
$
15,960,284
 


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.




 
F-43

 
 

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 $13,562,577 at December 31, 2011 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, 2011 was not significant.

The Corporation has an executive severance agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer.

In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding claims and legal proceedings involving the
Corporation or its subsidiaries.  On February 14 and April 14, 2011, the Bank received separate settlement
demands from representatives of beneficiaries of certain trusts for which the Bank has acted as trustee.  
The settlement demands relate to alleged claims of, among other things, breach of the Bank’s fiduciary duties as
trustee, including the Bank’s alleged failure to adequately diversify the relevant trust portfolios. The beneficiaries
seek aggregate damages of up to approximately $27.0 million.  On September 16, 2011, the beneficiaries objected
in the Surrogate’s Court of the State of New York, County of Chemung (the “Surrogate’s Court”) to accountings
with respect to the above-mentioned trusts provided by the Bank, based on allegations similar to those offered in
the settlement demands.  The matter remains pending in the Surrogate Court.  Although these matters are
inherently unpredictable, management will defend against these claims vigorously.  Management has concluded
that it is reasonably possible, but not probable, that the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of
the Corporation could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of
these claims, not withstanding any potential recover under applicable insurance coverage.  An amount of loss or
range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

(17)           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.


 
F-45

 
 

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 has developed an internal model for pricing these securities. This is the same model used in
determining other-than-temporary impairment (“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.

The fair values of trading assets are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on
recent real estate appraisals and collateral evaluations. The appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a
combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.  Adjustments are routinely made
in the appraisal process by third party appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and
income data available.  Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the
inputs for determining fair value.

Non-recurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real
estate owned ("OREO") are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values
are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification.  In cases where
the carrying amount exceeds the fair value less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent
loans, had a carrying amount of $6,095,645, with a valuation allowance of $1,942,206 as of December 31, 2011,
resulting in a $958,333 provision for loan losses for the year ending December 31, 2011.  Impaired loans had a
carrying amount of $892,298, with a valuation allowance of $239,758 as of December 31, 2010, resulting in no
additional provision for loan losses for the year ending December 31, 2010.

OREO, which is measured by the lower of carrying or fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying amount of
$897,755 at December 31, 2011.  The net carrying amount reflects the outstanding balance of $1,009,162 net of a
valuation allowance of $111,407 at December 31, 2011 which resulted in write downs of $12,120 for the year
ending December 31, 2011.  OREO had a net carrying amount of $740,620 at December 31, 2010.  The net
carrying amount reflected an outstanding balance of $909,947, net of a valuation allowance of $169,327 at
December 31, 2010 which resulted in write downs of $169,327 for the year ending December 31, 2010.


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 ninety days or less, the carrying value approximates fair
value.

FHLB and FRB Stock

It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB and FRB 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.

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).

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.
 
F-48

 
 

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.

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.

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, 2011 and 2010.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

For these short-term instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value.

The estimated fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as

(1) Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information
about the financial instrument.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly
affect the estimates.

(18)           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, 2011 and 2010, the Corporation and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to
which they were subject.

As of December 31, 2011, 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 profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements
described below.  During 2012, the Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $4.6
million plus any 2012 net profits retained to the date of the dividend declaration.

(19)           COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

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

Comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $8,993,902,
$10,770,183, and $10,152,155 respectively.  The following summarizes the components of other comprehensive

(20)           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.



 
 
F-51

 
 

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 is shown in the following table.  Income taxes are allocated based on the separate taxable
income of each entity and indirect overhead expenses are allocated based on reasonable and equitable
allocations applicable to the reportable segment.  Holding company amounts are the primary differences
between segment amounts and consolidated totals, and are reflected in the Holding Company and Other
column below, along with amounts to eliminate transactions between segments. (dollars in thousands)

(21)           BUSINESS COMBINATION

Acquisition of Fort Orange Financial Corp.

On April 8, 2011, the Corporation completed its merger with Fort Orange Financial Corp. (“FOFC”), the holding
company of Capital Bank & Trust Company (“Capital Bank”) based in Albany, New York, with FOFC being
merged with and into the Corporation, and the Corporation being the surviving entity.  Immediately following the
merger, Capital Bank was merged with and into the Bank.

As of the date of the merger, Capital Bank’s unaudited balance sheet included approximately $254 million in
assets, a loan portfolio approximating $171 million and deposits of $199 million.   The Capital Bank branch
locations are in Albany, Clifton Park, Latham and Slingerlands.

Under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) entered into on October 14, 2010, the
Corporation purchased all of the outstanding shares of FOFC common stock in a stock and cash transaction
valued at $31.9 million, based upon the Corporation’s closing stock price on April 8, 2011 of $23.50.  For each
share of FOFC common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger, each FOFC shareholder had the right
to elect to receive: (i) all cash in the amount of $7.50 per share (“Cash Consideration”), (ii) all stock at an
exchange ratio of 0.3571 of a share of the Corporation’s common stock for each share of FOFC common stock
(“Stock Consideration”) or (iii) a mix of Cash Consideration for 25% of their shares and Stock Consideration for
75% of their shares.  The total consideration to be paid by the Corporation was subject to the requirement that
25% of the FOFC common stock be acquired for the Cash Consideration and 75% be acquired for the Stock
Consideration.  As a result of the merger, the Corporation issued approximately 1.01 million additional shares of
its common stock.

The table below illustrates the calculation of the consideration effectively transferred.

Goodwill resulting from the FOFC merger
         
$

The goodwill generated by the FOFC merger consists of, among other things, synergies and increased economies
of scale, including the ability to offer more diverse and profitable products, greater diversity in the branch system
which may lead to lower cost deposits, and an increased legal lending limit.  We expect that no goodwill
recognized as a result of the FOFC merger will be deductible for income tax purposes.  Purchase accounting
adjustments are subject to refinement as management finalizes their fair value measurements, including their
analysis of identifiable intangible assets.  Since the branches acquired were merged into the Bank, there is no
segment impact of the FOFC merger.


The fair value of the financial assets acquired included loans receivable with an unpaid principal balance of
$170.7 million.  U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) prohibits carrying over an
allowance for loan losses for loans purchased in the merger.  The table below illustrates the fair value adjustments
made to the unpaid principal balance in order to present a fair value of the loans acquired (in thousands).

The fair value adjustment on loans other than those with evidence of credit deterioration represents adjustments a
 prospective acquirer would make to the unpaid principal balance to account for differences between the
contractual yield on the portfolio and market interest rates, for credit, and for liquidity.  The market rate
adjustment represents the movement in market interest rates, irrespective of credit adjustments, compared to the
stated rates of the acquired loans.  The credit adjustment made on these loans represents the changes in credit quality
of the underlying borrowers from the loan inception to the merger date.  The credit adjustment on loans with
deteriorating credit quality is derived in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 310-30, “Loans and
Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” and represents the portion of the loan balance that has
been deemed uncollectible based on our expectations of future cash flows for each respective loan.
