Benefit obligation	Refers to the projected benefit obligation for pension plans and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for OPEB plans.
Capital Bank	Division of Chemung Canal Trust Company located in the “Capital Region” of New York State and includes the counties of Albany and Saratoga.
CDARS	Product involving a network of financial institutions that exchange certificates of deposits among members in order to ensure FDIC insurance coverage on customer deposits above the single institution limit. Using a sophisticated matching system, funds are exchanged on a dollar-for-dollar basis, so that the equivalent of an original deposit comes back to the originating institution.
Captive insurance company	A company that provides risk-mitigation services for its parent company.
Collateralized debt obligation	A structured financial product that pools together cash flow-generating assets, such as mortgages, bonds, and loans.
Collateralized mortgage obligations	A type of mortgage-backed security with principal repayments organized according to their maturities and into different classes based on risk. The mortgages serve as collateral and are organized into classes based on their risk profile.
Dodd-Frank Act	The Dodd-Frank Act was enacted on July 21, 2010 and 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.
Fully taxable equivalent basis	Income from tax-exempt loans and investment securities that have been increased by an amount equivalent to the taxes that would have been paid if this income were taxable at statutory rates; the corresponding income tax impact related to tax-exempt items is recorded within income tax expense.
GAAP	Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Holding company	Consists of the operations for Chemung Financial Corporation (parent only).
ICS	Product involving a network of financial institutions that exchange interest-bearing money market deposits among members in order to ensure FDIC insurance coverage on customer deposits above the single institution limit.

N/A	Data is not applicable or available for the period presented.

Non-GAAP	A calculation not made according to GAAP.
Obligations of state and political subdivisions	An obligation that is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of a state or political subdivision that has the power to tax.
Obligations of U.S. Government	A federally guaranteed obligation backed by the full power of the U.S. government, including Treasury bills, Treasury notes and Treasury bonds.
Obligations of U.S. Government sponsored enterprise obligations	Obligations of agencies originally established or chartered by the U.S. government to serve public purposes as specified by the U.S. Congress; these obligations are not explicitly guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
OREO	Represents real property owned by the Corporation, which is not directly related to its business and is most frequently the result of a foreclosure on real property.



OTTI	Impairment charge taken on a security whose fair value has fallen below the carrying value on the balance sheet and whose value is not expected to recover through the holding period of the security.
PCI loans	Represents loans that were acquired in the Fort Orange Financial Corp. transaction and deemed to be credit-impaired on the acquisition date in accordance with the guidance of FASB.
Political subdivision	A county, city, town, or other municipal corporation, a public authority, or a publicly-owned entity that is an instrumentality of a state or a municipal corporation.
Pre-provision profit/(loss)	Represents total net revenue less noninterest expense, before income tax expense (benefit). The Corporation believes that this financial measure is useful in assessing the ability of a bank to generate income in excess of its provision for credit losses.
RWA	Risk-weighted assets consist of on- and off-balance sheet assets that are assigned to one of several broad risk categories and weighted by factors representing their risk and potential for default. On-balance sheet assets are risk-weighted based on the perceived credit risk associated with the obligor or counterparty, the nature of any collateral, and the guarantor, if any. Off-balance sheet assets such as lending-related commitments, guarantees, derivatives and other applicable off-balance sheet positions are risk-weighted by multiplying the contractual amount by the appropriate credit conversion factor to determine the on-balance sheet credit equivalent amount, which is then risk-weighted based on the same factors used for on-balance sheet assets. Risk-weighted assets also incorporate a measure for market risk related to applicable trading assets-debt and equity instruments. The resulting risk-weighted values for each of the risk categories are then aggregated to determine total risk-weighted assets.
SBA loan pools	Business loans partially guaranteed by the SBA.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase	Sale of securities together with an agreement for the seller to buy back the securities at a later date.
TDR	A TDR is deemed to occur when the Corporation modifies the original terms of a loan agreement by granting a concession to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty.
Trust preferred securities	A hybrid security with characteristics of both subordinated debt and preferred stock which allows for early redemption by the issuer, makes fixed or variable payments, and matures at face value.
Unaudited	Financial statements and information that have not been subjected to auditing procedures sufficient to permit an independent certified public accountant to express an opinion.
WMG	Provides 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, financial planning, pension, estate planning and employee benefit administration services.

CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

The Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank and CFS, provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary and other financial services to its clients. The Corporation and the Bank are subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

CRM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which was formed and began operations on May 31, 2016, is a Nevada-based captive insurance company which insures against certain risks unique to the operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today's insurance marketplace. CRM pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves. CRM is subject to regulations of the State of Nevada and undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Amounts in the prior periods' consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been included.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, an amendment to Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10). The objectives of the ASU are to (1) require equity investments to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (2) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, (3) eliminate the requirement to disclose methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (4) require the use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments, and (5) clarify the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Corporation intends to adopt the new guidance as of January 1, 2018 and believes the ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, as the Corporation's equity investment portfolio is less than $1.0 million as of September 30, 2016.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires companies that lease valuable assets to recognize on their balance sheets the assets and liabilities generated by contracts longer than a year. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, though early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt the new lease guidance as of January 1, 2019 and is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of these updates will have on its consolidated financial statements. Currently, the Corporation believes the implementation of this ASU will create a right of use asset of less than $5.0 million for the Corporation's 13 leased facilities and a related capital obligation of the same amount as of January 1, 2019.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal Versus Agent Consideration - Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net. The objective of the ASU is to align the recognition of revenue with the transfer of promised goods or services provided to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Corporation intends to adopt the new revenue guidance as of January 1, 2018 and believes the ASU will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The objectives of the ASU are to simplify accounting for a stock payment's tax consequences and amend how excess tax benefits and a business's payments to cover the tax bills for the shares' recipients should be classified. The amendments allow companies to estimate the number of stock awards they expect to vest, and they revise the withholding requirements for classifying stock awards as equity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, though early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The objective of the ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to form credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, though entities may adopt the amendments earlier for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. The Corporation is evaluating the potential impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements and believes that the ASU may materially change the current process of evaluating the allowance for loan losses.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The objective of the ASU is to reduce the existing diversity in practice relating to eight specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principal. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, though early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 EARNING PER COMMON SHARE (shares in thousands)

Basic earnings per share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Issuable shares, including those related to directors’ restricted stock units and directors’ stock compensation, are considered outstanding and are included in the computation of basic earnings per share. All outstanding unvested share based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation. Restricted stock awards are grants of participating securities and are considered outstanding at grant date. Earnings per share information is adjusted to present comparative results for stock splits and stock dividends that occur. Earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by 4,765 and 4,722 weighted average shares outstanding for the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by 4,758 and 4,715 weighted average shares outstanding for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There were no common stock equivalents during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 or 2015.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

As of September 30, 2016, the majority of the Corporation’s unrealized losses in the investment securities portfolio related to mortgage-backed securities. At September 30, 2016, all of the unrealized losses related to mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. government sponsored entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because it is not likely that the Corporation will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2016.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

A modification of a loan may result in classification as a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Corporation offers various types of modifications which may involve a change in the schedule of payments, a reduction in the interest rate, an extension of the maturity date, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, requesting additional collateral, releasing collateral for consideration, substituting or adding a new borrower or guarantor, a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan or a permanent reduction of the interest on the loan.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Corporation has a recorded investment in TDRs of $11.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively. There were specific reserves of $1.6 million and $1.4 million allocated for TDRs at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, TDRs totaling $6.0 million were accruing interest under the modified terms and $5.0 million were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2015, TDRs totaling $7.6 million were accruing interest under the modified terms and $4.4 million were on non-accrual status. The Corporation had committed no additional amounts as of September 30, 2016, to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs. The Corporation had committed additional amounts up to $0.1 million as of December 31, 2015, to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, no loans were modified as TDRs. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the terms of one loan was modified as a TDR. The modification of the terms of a commercial real estate loan during the three months ended September 30, 2015 included extending the maturity date and a corresponding reduction of the scheduled amortized payments of the loan due to the longer term.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the terms of certain loans were modified as TDRs. The modification of the terms of a residential mortgage loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included an extension of the maturity date by thirteen years at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk and a corresponding reduction of the scheduled amortization payments of the loan due to the longer term. The modification of the terms of five commercial real estate loans and one residential home equity loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included consolidating the loans into one commercial real estate loan and extending the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. The modification of the terms of a residential mortgage loan performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included a reduction in the stated interest rate for three years and a corresponding reduction of the scheduled amortized payments of the loan due to the lower interest rate. Additionally, $4 thousand of interest and past due escrow payments were capitalized on the restructured loan. In addition to the modifications noted above, the modification of the terms of a commercial real estate loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a reduction of the scheduled amortized payments of the loan for the remaining term of the loan. Additionally, the modification of the terms of a commercial loan performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included renewing a line of credit and extending the maturity date at a rate lower than the current market rate.

There were no loans modified as TDRs during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no payment defaults on any loans previously modified as TDRs within twelve months following the modification during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

The TDRs that subsequently defaulted described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses and resulted in no charge offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

There were no payment defaults on any loans previously modified as TDRs within twelve months following the modification during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Corporation establishes a risk rating at origination for all commercial loans. The main factors considered in assigning risk ratings include, but are not limited to: historic and future debt service coverage, collateral position, operating performance, liquidity, leverage, payment history, management ability, and the customer’s industry. Commercial relationship managers monitor all loans in their respective portfolios for any changes in the borrower’s ability to service their debt and affirm the risk ratings for the loans at least annually.

For the retail loans, which include residential mortgages, indirect and direct consumer loans, home equity lines and loans, and credit cards, once a loan is properly approved and closed, the Corporation evaluates credit quality based upon loan repayment.

The Corporation uses the risk rating system to identify criticized and classified loans. Commercial relationships within the criticized and classified risk ratings are analyzed quarterly. The Corporation uses the following definitions for criticized and classified loans (which are consistent with regulatory guidelines):

Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capability of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Commercial loans not meeting the criteria above to be considered criticized or classified are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans performing under terms of the loan notes. Based on the analyses performed as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the risk category of the recorded investment of loans by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

At the time of the merger with Fort Orange Financial Corp., the Corporation identified certain loans with evidence of deteriorated credit quality, and the probability that the Corporation would be unable to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower. These loans are classified as PCI loans. The Corporation adjusted its estimates of future expected losses, cash flows, and renewal assumptions on the PCI loans during the current year. These adjustments were made for changes in expected cash flows due to loans refinanced beyond original maturity dates, impairments recognized subsequent to the acquisition, advances made for taxes or insurance to protect collateral held and payments received in excess of amounts originally expected.

The table below summarizes the changes in total contractually required principal and interest cash payments, management’s estimate of expected total cash payments and carrying value of the PCI loans from from July 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016 and July 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015 (in thousands):

NOTE 5 FAIR VALUE

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

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

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

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

The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value on a recurring basis:

Investment Securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are usually determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs), or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). 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 inputs).

Trading Assets: Securities that are held to fund a deferred compensation plan are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. The fair values of trading assets are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).

Derivatives: The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2 inputs). Derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices, and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The Corporation also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counter-party's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Corporation has considered the impact of any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings. Although the Corporation has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize credit default rate assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

The fair values of credit risk participations are based on credit default rate assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):

The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value have been partially charged-off or receive specific allocations as part of the allowance for loan loss accounting. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, typically resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

OREO: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosures are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Assets in which the Corporation has accepted a purchase offer are classified as Level 2.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and OREO are performed by certified general appraisers (commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Corporation. Once received, appraisals are reviewed for reasonableness of assumptions, approaches utilized, Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and other regulatory compliance, as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Appraisals are generally completed within the previous 12 month period prior to a property being placed into OREO. On impaired loans, appraisal values are adjusted based on the age of the appraisal, the position of the lien, the type of the property and its condition.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments not already discussed:

Cash and Due From Financial Institutions and Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions

For those short-term instruments that generally mature in 90 days or less, the carrying value approximates fair value of which non-interest-bearing deposits are classified as Level 1 and interest-bearing deposits with the FHLBNY and FRBNY are classified as Level 1.

Securities Held to Maturity

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 inputs).

FHLBNY and FRBNY Stock

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

Loans, Net

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently, fair values approximate carrying values. The fair values for other loans are estimated through discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality. Loans are classified as Level 3. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Loans Held for Sale

Certain mortgage loans are originated with the intent to sell. Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market and are classified as Level 2.

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, savings accounts and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying values) and classified as Level 1.

The fair value of certificates of deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of the weighted-average expected monthly maturities and classified as Level 2.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

These instruments bear both variable and fixed rates of interest. Therefore, the carrying value approximates fair value for the variable rate instruments and the fair value of fixed rate instruments is based on discounted cash flows to maturity. These are classified as Level 2.

FHLBNY Overnight Advances and FHLBNY Term Advances

These instruments bear a stated rate of interest to maturity and, therefore, the fair value is based on discounted cash flows to maturity and classified as Level 2.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

For these short-term instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value resulting in a classification of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 depending upon the classification of the asset/liability they are associated with.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of other financial instruments, at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, are as follows (in thousands):

(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.

Gross amount of recognized liabilities for repurchase agreements	$	8,453		$	10,000		$	10,000		$	—	$	28,453

The Corporation enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase and the amounts received under these agreements represent borrowings and are reflected as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The securities underlying these agreements are included in investment securities in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Corporation has no control over the market value of the securities which fluctuate due to market conditions, however, the Corporation is obligated to promptly transfer additional securities if the market value of the securities falls below the repurchase agreement price. The Corporation manages this risk by utilizing highly marketable and easily priced securities, monitoring these securities for significant changes in market valuation routinely, and maintaining an unpledged securities portfolio believed to be sufficient to cover a decline in the market value of the securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

NOTE 8 ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Accumulated other comprehensive loss represents the net unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale and 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.

NOTE 9 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Corporation is a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk such as commitments under standby letters of credit, unused portions of lines of credit, overdraft protection and commitments to fund new loans. In accordance with GAAP, these financial instruments are not recorded in the financial statements. The Corporation's policy is to record such instruments when funded. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are generally used by the Corporation to manage clients' requests for funding and other client needs.

The following table lists the contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):



	September 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
	Fixed Rate		Variable Rate		Fixed Rate		Variable Rate
Commitments to make loans	$	46,801	$	37,129	$	17,167	$	25,251

On March 23, 2016, the Bank received a summons and complaint for an action brought in the State of New York Supreme Court for the County of Tompkins, regarding its lease of 202 East State Street, Ithaca, NY. The owner of the leased premises has alleged that the Bank has breached its contract and is requesting a judgment declaring that the term of the lease runs through December 31, 2025 or a judgment in his favor in the amount of $4.0 million. On July 25, 2016, the Corporation received Notice of Entry of the decision and order of the New York Supreme Court for the County of Tompkins, involving claims by the owner of the leased premises at 202 East State Street, Ithaca, New York against the Bank. The Court granted, in part, partial summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff - on the issue of liability only- for anticipatory breach and breach of contract. The fraud claims were dismissed, and summary judgment was denied on the plaintiff’s trespass claims. The Court set the matter down for an inquest on damages at a later date, with the original claim by the plaintiff seeking $4.0 million in damages. While the Corporation’s attorneys are assessing the merits of an appeal based on the information contained in the Court’s ruling, the Corporation established a legal reserve of $1.2 million in connection with this case during the second quarter of 2016. No changes in the status of the case have occurred during the third quarter of 2016.

In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding claims and legal proceedings involving the Corporation or its subsidiaries. Except for the above matter, we believe that we are not a party to any pending legal, arbitration, or regulatory proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our financial results or liquidity.

NOTE 11 SEGMENT REPORTING

The Corporation manages its operations through two primary business segments: core banking and WMG. 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 WMG services segment provides revenues by providing trust and investment advisory services to clients.

Accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Corporation’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 11, 2016. Summarized financial information concerning the Corporation’s reportable segments and the reconciliation to the Corporation’s consolidated results are shown in the following table. Income taxes are allocated based on the separate taxable income of each entity and indirect overhead expenses are allocated based on reasonable and equitable allocations applicable to the reportable segment. CFS amounts are the primary differences between segment amounts and consolidated totals, and are reflected in the Holding Company, CFS, and CRM column below, along with amounts to eliminate transactions between those segments (in thousands). CRM was formed during the second quarter of 2016, therefore, is not included within prior year comparative information.

NOTE 12 STOCK COMPENSATION

Board of Director’s Stock Compensation

Members of the Board of Directors receive common shares of the Corporation equal in value to the amount of fees individually earned during the previous year for service as a director. The common shares are distributed to the Corporation's individual board members from treasury shares of the Corporation on or about January 15 following the calendar year of service.

Additionally, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, who does not receive cash compensation as a member of the Board of Directors, is awarded common shares equal in value to the average of those awarded to board members not employed by the Corporation who have served for 12 months during the prior year.

During January 2016 and 2015, 9,532 and 9,673 shares, respectively, were re-issued from treasury to fund the stock component of directors' compensation. An expense of $65 thousand and $52 thousand related to this compensation was recognized during the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. An expense of $200 thousand and $188 thousand related to this compensation was recognized during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This expense is accrued as shares are earned.

Restricted Stock Plan

Pursuant to the Corporation’s Restricted Stock Plan, the Corporation may make discretionary grants of restricted stock to officers other than the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date.

A summary of restricted stock activity for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 is presented below:



	Shares		Weighted–Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at July 1, 2016	22,154		$	28.12
Granted	—		—
Vested	(200	)	30.08
Forfeited or cancelled	—		—
Nonvested at September 30, 2016	21,954		$	28.16

A summary of restricted stock activity for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 is presented below:



	Shares		Weighted–Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2016	22,569		$	28.09
Granted	—		—
Vested	(615	)	25.41
Forfeited or cancelled	—		—
Nonvested at September 30, 2016	21,954		$	28.16

As of September 30, 2016, there was $471 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.18 years. The total fair value of shares vested was $17 thousand for both of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

NOTE 13 SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 20, 2016, the Corporation amended its noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“pension plan”) to freeze future retirement benefits after December 31, 2016. Beginning on January 1, 2017, both the pay-based and service-based component of the formula used to determine retirement benefits in the pension plan will be frozen so that participants will no longer earn further retirement benefits. Due to the freezing of the pension plan, the Corporation amended its defined contribution profit sharing, savings, and investment plan (“401(k)”) for all active participants to supersede the current contribution formula used by the Corporation. Beginning on January 1, 2017 the Corporation will begin contributing a non-discretionary 3% of gross annual wages (as defined by the 401(k) plan) for each participant, regardless of the participant’s deferral, in addition to a 50% match up to 6% of gross annual wages. All new contributions made on or after January 1, 2017 will vest immediately. Additionally, on October 20, 2016, the Corporation amended its defined benefit health care plan to not allow any new retirees into the plan, effective January 1, 2017. These amendments did not impact the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016.

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

Introduction

The following is the MD&A of the Corporation in this Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Reference should be made to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes, and the Corporation’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 11, 2016, for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis. See the list of commonly used abbreviations and terms on pages 3–5.

The MD&A included in this Form 10-Q contains statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Corporation's management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of those risks and uncertainties and the factors that could cause the Corporation’s actual results to differ materially from those risks and uncertainties, see Forward-looking Statements below and Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, on pages 14–19 of the Corporation’s 2015 Annual Report. For a discussion of use of non-GAAP financial measures, see pages 59–62 of the Corporation's 2015 Annual Report or pages 70-73 in this Form 10-Q.

The Corporation has been a financial holding company since 2000, the Bank was established in 1833, CFS in 2001, and CRM in 2016. Through the Bank and CFS, the Corporation provides a wide range of financial services, including demand, savings and time deposits, commercial, residential and consumer loans, interest rate swaps, letters of credit, wealth management services, employee benefit plans, insurance products, mutual funds and brokerage services. The Bank relies substantially on a foundation of locally generated deposits. The Corporation, on a stand-alone basis, has minimal results of operations. The Bank derives its income primarily from interest and fees on loans, interest income on investment securities, WMG fee income, and fees received in connection with deposit and other services. The Bank’s operating expenses are interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings, salaries and employee benefit plans, and general operating expenses. CRM is a Nevada-based captive insurance company which insures against certain risks unique to the operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and for which insurance may not be

currently available or economically feasible in today's insurance marketplace. CRM pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves.

Forward-looking Statements

This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. 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 the Corporation’s growth, competition, changes in law or the regulatory environment, including the Dodd-Frank Act, and changes in general business and economic trends. Information concerning these and other factors can be found in the Corporation’s periodic filings with the SEC, including the discussion under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Corporation’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These filings are available publicly on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov, on the Corporation's web site at http://www.chemungcanal.com or upon request from the Corporate Secretary at (607) 737-3746. Except as otherwise required by law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

(c) Loans and loans held for sale do not reflect the allowance for loan losses.
(d) Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans only.
(e) Non-performing assets include non-performing loans plus other real estate owned.

In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, because it believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors about the underlying operational performance and trends of the Corporation and, therefore, facilitate a comparison of the Corporation with the performance of its competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Refer to pages 68 - 72 for further explanation and reconciliation of the Corporation’s use of non-GAAP measures.

Net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $2.7 million, or $0.58 per share, compared with a net income of $2.5 million, or $0.52 per share, for the same period in the prior year. Return on equity for the quarter was 7.55%, compared with 7.05% for the prior year quarter. The increase in net income was driven by increases in net interest income and non-interest income and a reduction in non-interest expenses, offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses.

Net interest income

Net interest income increased $0.3 million, or 2.7%, compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to interest income from the commercial loan portfolio.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income increased $0.5 million, or 10.6%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to increases in interchange revenue from debit card transactions, service charges on deposit accounts, and a net gain on security transactions, offset by a decrease in WMG fee income.

Non-interest expenses

Non-interest expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 1.2%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in net occupancy expenses, data processing expenses, marketing and advertising expenses, and other non-interest expenses, offset by increases in salaries and wages and professional services. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, non-interest expenses to average assets was 3.20%, compared with 3.44% for the same period in the prior year.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses increased $0.7 million, or 242.0%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was the result of the growth in the commercial mortgages portfolio, along with an increase in specific reserves on impaired loans. Net charge-offs were $0.4 million, compared with $0.3 million for the same period in the prior year.



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015			Change			Percentage Change
Net interest income	$	39,033		$	37,680		$	1,353		3.6	%

Efficiency ratio	75.03		%	75.78		%

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $7.1 million, or $1.49 per share, compared with a net income of $7.3 million, or $1.55 per share, for the same period in the prior year. Return on equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 6.62%, compared with 7.12% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net income from the prior year was driven by increases in non-interest expense and the provision for loan losses, offset by increases in net interest income and non-interest income and a reduction in income tax expense.

Net interest income

Net interest income increased $1.4 million, or 3.6%, compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to interest income from the commercial loan portfolio, interest and dividends from taxable securities, and interest income from interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, offset by an increase in interest expense from deposits.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income increased $0.8 million, or 5.4%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to net gains on securities transactions and an increase in interchange revenue from debit card transactions, offset by decreases in WMG fee income, net gains (losses) on sales of other real estate owned, and other non-interest income.

Non-interest expenses

Non-interest expenses increased $1.9 million, or 4.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to increases in salaries and wages, data processing expense, professional services, and other non-interest expenses, offset by decreases in amortization of intangible assets and other real estate owned expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, non-interest expenses to average assets was 3.47%, compared with 3.52% for the same period in the prior year.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses increased $1.1 million, or 112.7%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was the result of the growth in the commercial mortgages portfolio, an increase in specific reserves on impaired loans, and an increase net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net charge-offs were $1.0 million, compared with $0.6 million for the same period in the prior year.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following section of the MD&A provides a comparative discussion of the Corporation’s Consolidated Results of Operations on a reported basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. For a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties that affect the Consolidated Results of Operations, see page 69 of this Form 10-Q and pages 58-59 of the Corporation’s 2015 Annual Report.

Net Interest Income

The following table presents net interest income for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015		Change		Percentage Change
Interest and dividend income	$	14,025	$	13,595	$	430	3.2	%
Interest expense	985		904		81		9.0	%
Net interest income	$	13,040	$	12,691	$	349	2.7	%

Net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities, and the interest expense accrued on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings, is the largest contributor to the Corporation’s earnings.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $13.0 million compared with $12.7 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2.7%. Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.33% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared with 3.45% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to an increase of $103.3 million in interest-earning assets. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased twelve basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased one basis point compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline in the yield on interest-earning assets can be mostly attributed to a 25 basis point decline in the yield of commercial loans, offset by a 33 basis point increase in the yield of consumer loans.

The following table presents net interest income for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change (in thousands):



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015		Change		Percentage Change
Interest and dividend income	$	41,899	$	40,348	$	1,551	3.8	%
Interest expense	2,866		2,668		198		7.4	%
Net interest income	$	39,033	$	37,680	$	1,353	3.6	%

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $39.0 million compared with $37.7 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1.4 million, or 3.6%. Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared with 3.48% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to an increase of $97.0 million in interest-earning assets. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased ten basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities remained level compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline in the yield on interest-earning assets can be mostly attributed to a 26 basis point decline in the yield of commercial loans, offset by a 33 basis point increase in the yield of consumer loans.

Changes Due to Rate and Volume

Net interest income can be analyzed in terms of the impact of changes in rates and volumes. The tables below illustrate the extent to which changes in interest rates and the volume of average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Corporation’s interest income and interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) the net changes. For purposes of this table, changes that are not due solely to volume or rate changes have been allocated to these categories based on the respective percentage changes in average volume and rate. Due to the numerous simultaneous volume and rate changes during the periods analyzed, it is not possible to precisely allocate changes between volume and rates. In addition, average interest-earning assets include non-accrual loans and taxable equivalent adjustments were made.

Provision for loan losses

Management performs an ongoing assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors including an analysis of historical loss factors, collateral evaluations, recent charge-off experience, credit quality of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and loan growth. Based on this analysis, the provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2016 and 2015 were $1.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Net charge-offs for the third quarter were $0.4 million compared with $0.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in the prior year, was due to increases in the commercial mortgage portfolio and specific reserves on impaired loans.

Non-interest income

The following table presents non-interest income for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015			Change			Percentage Change
WMG fee income	$	2,027	$	2,122		$	(95	)	(4.5	)%

Other	517		423			94			22.2	%
Total non-interest income	$	5,435	$	4,912		$	523		10.6	%

Total non-interest income for the third quarter of 2016 increased $0.5 million compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was mostly due to increases in interchange revenue from debit card transactions, net gains on securities transactions, and other non-interest income, offset by decreases in WMG fee income and CFS fee and commission income.

WMG fee income

WMG fee income decreased compared to the same period in the prior year due to a decline in assets under management or administration.

Interchange revenue from debit card transactions

Interchange revenue from debit card transactions increased compared to the same period in the prior year due to the recognition of an incremental volume bonus related to the rebranding of the Bank's credit cards in 2015.

Net gains on securities transactions

Net gains on securities transactions increased compared to the same period in the prior year due to a $0.1 million net gain on the sale of $15.0 million in obligations of U.S. Government sponsored enterprises during the third quarter of 2016.

CFS fee and commission income

CFS fee and commission income decreased compared to the same period in the prior year due to a decrease in commissions from insurance annuity products.

Other

Other non-interest income increased due to a profit distribution from an investment in a small business investment company, along with an increase in other service fees.



	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Other	1,446			1,420		26			1.8	%
Total non-interest income	$	16,252		$	15,424	$	828		5.4	%

Total non-interest income for the nine months ended 2016 increased $0.8 million compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was mostly due to increases in interchange revenue from debit card transactions and net gains on securities transactions, offset by decreases in WMG fee income, net gains (losses) on sales of other real estate owned, and CFS fee and commission income.

WMG fee income

WMG fee income decreased compared to the same period in the prior year due to a decline in assets under management or administration.

Interchange revenue from debit card transactions

Net gains on securities transactions

Net gains on securities transactions increased due to a $0.9 million net gain on the sale of $14.5 million in U.S. Treasuries and $0.1 million net gain on the sale of $15.0 million in obligations of U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, as compared to a $0.3 million net gain on the sale of $48.3 million in U.S. Government sponsored enterprises and Treasury securities during the same period in the prior year.

Net gains (losses) on sales of other real estate owned

Net gains (losses) on sales of other real estate owned decreased due to the sale of one commercial property and one parcel of undeveloped land for a gain of $0.1 million in 2015, as compared to the sale of one commercial property for a loss in 2016.

CFS fee and commission income

CFS fee and commission income decreased compared to the same period in the prior year due to a decrease in commissions from insurance annuity products.

Other

Other non-interest income increased due to a profit distribution from an investment in a small business investment company, along with an increase in other service fees, offset by a decline in rental income from other real estate owned properties, which were sold in 2015.

Non-interest expense

The following table presents non-interest expense for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,

Total non-interest expenses	$	13,471	$	13,634	$	(163	)	(1.2	)%

Total non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 2016 decreased $0.2 million compared with the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due to a decrease in non-compensation expenses, offset by an increase in compensation expense.

Compensation expense

Compensation expense increased compared to the same period in the prior year due to an increase in salaries and wages and pension and other employee benefits. The increase in salaries and wages was due to an increase in the incentive compensation plan for 2016, offset by a reduction in full-time equivalent employees. The increase in pension and other employee benefits was due to an increase in pension and health care costs, offset by a decrease in payroll tax expense, due to a decline in full-time equivalent employees.

Non-compensation expenses

Non-compensation expenses decreased compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to decreases in net occupancy expenses, furniture and equipment expenses, data processing expenses, marketing and advertising expenses, and other non-interest expense, offset by an increase in professional services. The decrease in net occupancy expenses and furniture and equipment expenses can be attributed to the closure of the branch office at 202 East State Street in Ithaca, NY at the end of May 2016. The increase in professional services can be attributed to consulting services associated with the incremental volume bonus related to the rebranding of the Bank’s credit cards in 2015.

Total non-interest expenses	$	43,049	$	41,193	$	1,856		4.5	%

Total non-interest expenses for the nine months ended 2016 increased $1.9 million compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to an increase in compensation expense and non-compensation expenses.

Compensation expense

Compensation expense increased compared to the same period in the prior year due to an increase in salaries and wages and pension and other employee benefits. The increase in salaries and wages can be attributed to an increase in the incentive compensation plan for 2016, offset by a reduction in full-time equivalent employees. The increase in pension and other employee benefits can be attributed to an increase in pension and health care costs, offset by a decrease in payroll tax expense, due to a decline in full-time equivalent employees.

Non-compensation expenses

Non-compensation expenses increased compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to increases in data processing expenses, professional services, and other non-interest expense, offset by decreases in amortization of intangible assets and other real estate owned expenses. The increase in professional services can be attributed to start-up costs associated with the establishment of CRM, which was completed in May 2016, and consulting services associated with the incremental volume bonus related to the rebranding of the Bank’s credit cards in 2015. The increase in other non-interest expenses can be attributed to the establishment of a $1.2 million legal reserve relating to Notice of Entry of the decision and order of the New York Supreme Court for the County of Tompkins in connection with the lease dispute noted within Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 28, 2016. The decrease in other real estate owned expenses can be attributed to the sale of properties in 2015 and 2016.

Income tax expense

The following table presents income tax expense and the effective tax rate for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015			Change			Percentage Change
Income before income tax expense	$	3,954		$	3,662		$	292		8.0	%
Income tax expense	1,209			1,211			(2		)	(0.2	)%
Effective tax rate	30.6		%	33.1		%

The decrease in the effective tax rate can be attributed to changes in the mix of income and expense subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. These changes include an increase in the income generated by CCTC Funding, Corp., a real estate investment trust subsidiary of the Bank, and a tax exclusion for insurance premiums within CRM.



	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Cash and cash equivalents

The increase in cash and cash equivalents can be attributed to maturities, pay-downs, and the sale of available for sale securities and an increase in deposits, offset by an increase in total loans and the pay down of FHLB overnight advances.

Investment securities

The decrease in investment securities can be mostly attributed to the the sale of $14.5 million in U.S. treasuries in the first quarter and $15.0 million in obligations of U.S. Government sponsored enterprises in the third quarter, along with $60.3 million in maturities of agencies and pay-downs on mortgage backed securities, offset by additional purchases of $1.8 million in obligations of states and political subdivisions and $46.4 million in mortgaged-backed securities during the third quarter.

Loans, net

The increase in total loans can be attributed to increases of $69.3 million in commercial mortgages and $1.9 million in residential mortgages, offset by decreases in commercial and agriculture of $9.3 million, indirect consumer of $9.8 million, and other consumer of $4.1 million. The increase in the allowance for loan losses can be mostly attributed to increases in the commercial loan portfolio and impaired loans.

Goodwill and other intangible assets, net

The decrease in goodwill and other intangible assets, net can be attributed to the amortization of intangible assets.

Other assets

The decrease in other assets can be mostly attributed to the sale of one property within other real estate owned, depreciation of premises and equipment and a decline in loans held for sale and the deferred tax asset, offset by an increase in capital leases related to relocation of the Clifton Park, NY branch to a new location during the second quarter of 2016.

Deposits

The increase in deposits can be attributed to increases of $22.0 million in non-interest bearing demand deposits, $18.9 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, $81.6 million in money market accounts, and $3.8 million in savings deposits. Partially offsetting the increases noted above was a decrease of $17.7 million in time deposits. The changes in money market accounts and demand deposits can be attributed to the seasonal inflow of deposits of municipal clients.

FHLBNY advances and other debt

FHLBNY overnight advances were paid off with the increase in deposits received from municipal clients, offset by an additional capital lease obligation related to the relocation of the Clifton Park, NY branch to a new location.

Other liabilities

The increase in other liabilities can be mostly attributed to the establishment of a $1.2 million legal reserve during the second quarter of 2016 relating to Notice of Entry of a decision and order of the New York Supreme Court for the County of Tompkins in connection with a lease dispute, along with increases in the interest rate swap liability and accrued expenses.

Shareholders’ equity

The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to earnings of $7.1 million, a reduction of $0.8 million in treasury stock, and a decrease of $3.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, offset by $3.7 million in dividends declared during the year.

Assets under management or administration

The market value of total assets under management or administration in our WMG was $1.714 billion at September 30, 2016, including $293.0 million of assets held under management or administration for the Corporation, compared with $1.856 billion at December 31, 2015, including $304.1 million of assets held under management or administration for the Corporation, a decrease of $141.6 million, or 7.6%. The decrease can be attributed to the loss of one large non-profit customer during the first quarter of 2016.

Securities

The Corporation’s Funds Management Policy includes an investment policy that in general, requires debt securities purchased for the bond portfolio to carry a minimum agency rating of "A". After an independent credit analysis is performed, the policy also allows the Corporation to purchase local municipal obligations that are not rated. The Corporation intends to maintain a reasonable level of securities to provide adequate liquidity and in order to have securities available to pledge to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements and other types of transactions. Fluctuations in the fair value of the Corporation’s securities relate primarily to changes in interest rates.

Marketable securities are classified as Available for Sale, while investments in local municipal obligations are generally classified as Held to Maturity. The composition of the available for sale segment of the securities portfolio is summarized in the table as follows (in thousands):



SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
	September 30, 2016						December 31, 2015
	Amortized Cost		Estimated Fair Value		Percent of Total Estimated Fair Value		Amortized Cost		Estimated Fair Value		Percent of Total Estimated Fair Value
Obligations of U.S. Government	$	—	$	—	—	%	$	14,507	$	14,784	4.3	%

Mortgage-backed securities, residential and collateralized mortgage obligations	219,847		222,671		73.4	%	199,680		198,366		57.5	%
Obligations of states and political subdivisions	39,724		40,552		13.4	%	43,695		44,426		12.9	%

Total	$	299,003	$	303,259	100.0	%	$	344,480	$	344,820	100.0	%

The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $303.3 million at September 30, 2016, a decrease of $41.6 million, or 12.1%, from $344.8 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease resulted primarily from the sale of $14.5 million in U.S.

Treasuries in the first quarter and $15.0 million in obligations of U.S. Government sponsored enterprises during the third quarter, along with $60.3 million in maturities of obligations of U.S. Government sponsored enterprises and pay-downs on mortgage-backed securities, offset by additional purchases of $1.8 million in obligations of states and political subdivisions and $46.4 million in mortgage-backed securities.

The held to maturity segment of the securities portfolio consists of obligations of political subdivisions in the Corporation’s market areas. These securities totaled $4.5 million at September 30, 2016, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 1.4%, from $4.6 million at December 31, 2015.

Loans

The Corporation has reporting systems to monitor: (i) loan origination and concentrations, (ii) delinquent loans, (iii) non-performing assets, including non-performing loans, troubled debt restructurings, and other real estate owned, (iv) impaired loans, and (v) potential problem loans. Management reviews these systems on a regular basis.

The table below presents the Corporation’s loan composition by segment for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 (in thousands):



LOANS
	September 30, 2016		December 31, 2015		Dollar Change			Percentage Change
Commercial and agricultural	$	183,914	$	193,233	$	(9,319	)	(4.8	)%
Commercial mortgages	575,761		506,478		69,283			13.7	%
Residential mortgages	197,665		195,778		1,887			1.0	%
Indirect consumer loans	141,489		151,327		(9,838		)	(6.5	)%
Other consumer loans	117,737		121,817		(4,080		)	(3.3	)%
Total loans, net of deferred loan fees	$	1,216,566	$	1,168,633	$	47,933		4.1	%

Portfolio loans totaled $1.217 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $47.9 million, or 4.1%, from $1.169 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase in loans can be attributed to increases of $69.3 million million in commercial mortgages and $1.9 million in residential mortgages, offset by decreases of $9.3 million in commercial and agricultural loans, $9.8 million in indirect consumer loans, and $4.1 million in other consumer loans. The growth in commercial mortgages was due primarily to an increase in the Capital Bank division in the Albany, New York region. The decline in indirect consumer loans was a result of the Corporation’s decision not to reduce pricing to compete on new car loans.

Residential mortgage loans totaled $197.7 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $1.9 million, or 1.0%, from December 31, 2015. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, $11.3 million of newly originated residential mortgages were sold in the secondary market to Freddie Mac and $1.2 million of residential mortgages were sold to the State of New York Mortgage Agency.

The Corporation anticipates that future growth in portfolio loans will continue to be in commercial mortgages and commercial and industrial loans, especially within the Capital Bank division of the Bank. The table below presents the Corporation’s outstanding loan balance by bank division (in thousands):



LOANS BY DIVISION
	September 30, 2016		December 31, 2015		December 31, 2014		December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Chemung Canal Trust Company*	$	648,946	$	683,137	$	724,099	$	687,256	$	645,808
Capital Bank Division	567,620		485,496		397,475		308,610		247,709
Total loans	$	1,216,566	$	1,168,633	$	1,121,574	$	995,866	$	893,517

* All loans, excluding those originated by the Capital Bank division.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. Specific industries are identified using NAICS codes. The Corporation monitors specific NAICS industry classifications of commercial loans to identify concentrations greater than 10.0% of total loans. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, commercial loans to borrowers

involved in the real estate, and real estate rental and lending businesses were 44.4% and 40.6% of total loans, respectively. No other concentration of loans existed in the commercial loan portfolio in excess of 10.0% of total loans as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, non-accrual troubled debt restructurings and other real estate owned that has been acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loan obligations or upon foreclosure.

Past due status on all loans is based on the contractual terms of the loan. It is generally the Corporation's policy that a loan 90 days past due be placed in non-accrual status unless factors exist that would eliminate the need to place a loan in this status. A loan may also be designated as non-accrual at any time if payment of principal or interest in full is not expected due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. At the time loans are placed in non-accrual status, the accrual of interest is discontinued and previously accrued interest is reversed. All payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal. Loans are considered for return to accrual status when they become current as to principal and interest and remain current for a period of six consecutive months or when, in the opinion of management, the Corporation expects to receive all of its original principal and interest. In the case of non-accrual loans where a portion of the loan has been charged off, the remaining balance is kept in non-accrual status until the entire principal balance has been recovered.

The following table summarizes the Corporation's non-performing assets, excluding acquired PCI loans (in thousands):



NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
	September 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Non-accrual loans	$	7,971		$	7,821
Non-accrual troubled debt restructurings	4,932			4,411

(1) These loans are not included in non-performing assets above.

Non-Performing Loans

Non-performing loans totaled $12.9 million at September 30, 2016, or 1.06% of total loans, compared with $12.2 million at December 31, 2015, or 1.05% of total loans. The increase in non-performing loans at September 30, 2016 was primarily in the residential mortgage and consumer loan segments of the loan portfolio, offset by commercial mortgage. Non-performing assets, which are comprised of non-performing loans and other real estate owned, was $13.3 million, or 0.77% of total assets, at September 30, 2016, compared with $13.8 million, or 0.85% of total assets, at December 31, 2015.

Not included in non-performing loan totals are $1.8 million of acquired loans which the Corporation has identified as PCI loans. The PCI loans are accounted for under separate accounting guidance, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 310-30, “Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” as disclosed in Note 4 of the financial statements.

Accruing Loans Past due 90 Days or More

The recorded investment in accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $12.0 thousand at September 30, 2016, a decrease of $6.0 thousand from December 31, 2015.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Corporation works closely with borrowers that have financial difficulties to identify viable solutions that minimize the potential for loss. In that regard, the Corporation modified the terms of select loans to maximize their collectability. The modified loans are considered TDRs under current accounting guidance. Modifications generally involve short-term deferrals of principal and/or interest payments, reductions of scheduled payment amounts, interest rates or principal of the loan, and forgiveness of accrued interest. As of September 30, 2016, the Corporation had $4.9 million of non-accrual TDRs compared with $4.4 million as of December 31, 2015. As of September 30, 2016, the Corporation had $6.0 million of accruing TDRs compared with $7.6 million as of December 31, 2015.

Impaired Loans

A loan is classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect both the principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans at September 30, 2016 totaled $13.2 million, including TDRs of $11.0 million, compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 2015, including TDRs of $12.0 million. Not included in the impaired loan totals are acquired loans which the Corporation has identified as PCI loans, as these loans are accounted for under ASC Subtopic 310-30 as noted under the above discussion of non-performing loans. The decrease in impaired loans was due primarily to decreases in the commercial and agricultural and commercial mortgage loans. Included in the recorded investment of impaired loans at September 30, 2016, are loans totaling $5.7 million for which impairment allowances of $2.0 million have been specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2015, the impaired loan total included $5.2 million of loans for which specific impairment allowances of $1.6 million were allocated to the allowance for loan losses.

The majority of the Corporation's impaired loans are secured and measured for impairment based on collateral evaluations. It is the Corporation's policy to obtain updated appraisals, by independent third parties, on loans secured by real estate at the time a loan is determined to be impaired. An impairment measurement is performed based upon the most recent appraisal on file to determine the amount of any specific allocation or charge-off. In determining the amount of any specific allocation or charge-off, the Corporation will make adjustments to reflect the estimated costs to sell the property. Upon receipt and review of the updated appraisal, an additional measurement is performed to determine if any adjustments are necessary to reflect the proper provisioning or charge-off. Impaired loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis to determine if any changes in credit quality or market conditions would require any additional allocation or recognition of additional charge-offs. Real estate values in the Corporation's market area have been holding steady. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using (i) an appraisal, (ii) net book value of the collateral per the borrower’s financial statements, or (iii) accounts receivable aging reports, that may be adjusted based on management’s knowledge of the client and client’s business. If market conditions warrant, future appraisals are obtained for both real estate and non-real estate collateral.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans. The allowance is established based on management’s evaluation of the probable incurred losses inherent in our portfolio in accordance with GAAP, and is comprised of both specific valuation allowances and general valuation allowances.

A loan is classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect both the principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Specific valuation allowances are established based on management’s analyses of individually impaired loans. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, evaluations of the underlying collateral, expected cash flows, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. If a loan is determined to be impaired and is placed on non-accrual status, all future payments received are applied to principal and a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current qualitative factors. Loans not impaired but classified as substandard and special mention use a historical loss factor on a rolling five-year history of net losses. For all other unclassified loans, the historical loss experience is determined by portfolio class and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Corporation over the most recent two years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio class. These qualitative factors include consideration of the following: (1) lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off and recovery policies, (2) national and local economic and business conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments, (3) loan profiles and volume of the portfolio, (4) the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff, (5) the volume and severity of past due, classified and watch-list loans, non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, and other modifications (6) the quality of the Bank’s loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Bank’s Board of Directors, (7) collateral related issues: secured vs. unsecured, type, declining valuation environment and trend of other related factors, (8) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations, (9) the effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the Bank’s current portfolio and (10) the impact of the global economy.

The allowance for loan losses is increased through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of all or a portion of the principal is unlikely. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is performed on a periodic basis and takes into consideration such factors as the credit risk grade assigned to the loan, historical loan loss experience and review of specific impaired loans. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The allowance for loan losses was $15.3 million at September 30, 2016, up from $14.3 million at December 31, 2015. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.26% at September 30, 2016, up from 1.22% at December 31, 2015, respectively. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

The table below summarizes the Corporation’s loan loss experience for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands, except ratio data):

Deposits

The table below summarizes the Corporation’s deposit composition by segment for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 (in thousands):



DEPOSITS
	September 30, 2016		December 31, 2015		Dollar Change			Percentage Change
Non-interest-bearing demand deposits	$	424,243	$	402,236	$	22,007		5.5	%
Interest-bearing demand deposits	149,527		130,573		18,954			14.5	%
Insured money market accounts	579,211		497,658		81,553			16.4	%

Total	$	1,508,944	$	1,400,295	$	108,649		7.8	%

Deposits totaled $1.509 billion at September 30, 2016 compared with $1.400 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of $108.6 million, or 7.8%. The increase was attributable to increases of $22.0 million in non-interest bearing demand deposits, $19.0 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, $81.6 million in money market accounts, and $3.8 million in savings deposits. These items were offset by a decrease of $17.7 million in time deposits. The changes in money market accounts can be attributed to new municipal clients, along with the seasonal inflow of deposits from current municipal clients. At September 30, 2016, demand deposit and money market accounts comprised 76.4% of total deposits compared with 73.6% at December 31, 2015.

The table below presents the Corporation's deposits balance by bank division (in thousands):



DEPOSITS BY DIVISION
	September 30, 2016		December 31, 2015		December 31, 2014		December 31, 2013		December 31, 2012

*All deposits, excluding those originated by the Capital Bank Division.

In addition to consumer, commercial and public deposits, other sources of funds include brokered deposits. Brokered deposits include funds obtained through brokers, and the Bank’s participation in the CDARS and ICS programs. There were no deposits obtained through brokers as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Deposits obtained through the CDARS and ICS programs were $234.3 million and $165.0 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The increase in CDARS and ICS deposits was due to the Corporation offering the programs to new municipal clients, in addition to the seasonal inflow of current municipal client balances.

The Corporation’s deposit strategy is to fund the Bank with stable, low-cost deposits, primarily checking account deposits and other low interest-bearing deposit accounts. A checking account is the driver of a banking relationship and consumers consider the bank where they have their checking account as their primary bank. These customers will typically turn to their primary bank first when in need of other financial services. Strategies that have been developed and implemented to generate these deposits include: (i) acquire deposits by entering new markets through branch acquisitions or de novo branching, (ii) an annual checking account marketing campaign, (iii) training branch employees to identify and meet client financial needs with Bank products and services, (iv) link business and consumer loans to the customer's primary checking account at the Bank, (v) aggressively promote direct deposit of client’s payroll checks or benefit checks and (vi) constantly monitor the Corporation’s pricing strategies to ensure competitive products and services.

The Corporation also considers brokered deposits to be an element of its deposit strategy and anticipates that it will continue using brokered deposits as a secondary source of funding to support growth.

Borrowings

The $13.9 million of FHLBNY overnight advances at December 31, 2015 were paid off with the increase in deposits from municipal clients. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $1.5 million from $28.5 million at December 31, 2015 to $30.0 million at September 30, 2016. The increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase was related to normal fluctuations in client accounts. The long-term capital lease obligation increased $1.9 million from $2.9 million at December 31, 2015 to $4.8 million at September 30, 2016. The increase in the long-term lease obligation was related to the relocation of the Clifton Park, NY branch to a new location during the second quarter, offset by monthly rental payments for the current capital leases.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity was $144.8 million at September 30, 2016 compared with $137.2 million at December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to earnings of $7.1 million and a reduction of $0.8 million in treasury stock and a decrease of $3.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, offset by $3.7 million in dividends declared during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio was 8.38% at September 30, 2016 compared with 8.47% at December 31, 2015. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.03% at September 30, 2016 compared with 6.99% at December 31, 2015. Book value per share increased to $30.37 at September 30, 2016 from $28.96 at December 31, 2015.

The Corporation and the Bank are subject to capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve which establish a framework for the classification of financial holding companies and financial institutions into five categories: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized and critically under-capitalized. As of September 30, 2016, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those required to be considered well-capitalized under regulatory capital guidelines and the Corporation met capital requirements under regulatory guidelines.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of off-balance sheet arrangements.

Subsequent Event

On October 20, 2016, the Corporation amended its noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“pension plan”) to freeze future retirement benefits after December 31, 2016. Beginning on January 1, 2017, both the pay-based and service-based component of the formula used to determine retirement benefits in the pension plan will be frozen so that participants will no longer earn further retirement benefits. Due to the freezing of the pension plan, the Corporation amended its defined contribution profit sharing, savings, and investment plan (“401(k)”) for all active participants to supersede the current contribution formula used by the Corporation. Beginning on January 1, 2017 the Corporation will begin contributing a non-discretionary 3% of gross annual wages (as defined by the 401(k) plan) for each participant, regardless of the participant’s deferral, in addition to a 50% match up to 6% of gross annual wages. All contributions beginning January 1, 2017 will vest immediately. The Corporation expects these changes will have no impact on 2016 results. The Corporation expects the freezing of the pension plan will reduce the Corporation’s pension expense for fiscal year 2017 by approximately $2.6 million when compared to fiscal year 2016. The increase in the Corporation’s contribution to the 401(k) will increase the Corporation’s 401(k) expense for fiscal year 2017 by approximately $0.7 million when compared to fiscal year 2016.

Additionally, on October 20, 2016, the Corporation amended its defined benefit health care plan to not allow any new retirees into the plan, effective January 1, 2017. The Corporation expects not impact on the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016, but will recognize a $0.3 million curtailment gain related to the amendment of the plan in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Corporation also expects that the freezing of the plan to new retirees will reduce the postretirement health care expense for fiscal year 2017 by approximately $0.1 million when compared to fiscal year 2016.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of deposit clients, borrowers, and the operating, investing and financing activities of the Corporation. The Corporation uses a variety of resources to meet its liquidity needs. These include short term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, core-deposit growth and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits of $100,000 or more, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings.

The Corporation is a member of the FHLBNY which allows it to access borrowings which enhance management's ability to satisfy future liquidity needs. Based on available collateral and current advances outstanding, the Corporation was eligible to borrow up to a total of $120.7 million and $106.2 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Corporation also had a total of $28.0 million of unsecured lines of credit with four different financial institutions, all of which was available at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Consolidated Cash Flows Analysis

The table below summarizes the Corporation's cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):



CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY OF CASH FLOWS
(in thousands)	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016			2015
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	19,781		$	10,057
Net cash used by investing activities	(3,218		)	(60,824		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	92,756			96,853
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	109,319		$	46,086

Operating activities

The Corporation believes cash flows from operations, available cash balances and its ability to generate cash through short- and long-term borrowings are sufficient to fund the Corporation’s operating liquidity needs.

Cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2016 and 2015 predominantly resulted from net income after non-cash operating adjustments.

Investing activities

Cash used by investing activities during the first nine months of 2016 and 2015 predominantly resulted from purchases of securities available for sale and a net increase in loans, offset by sales, calls, maturities, and principal collected on securities available for sale offset by a net increase in loans.

Financing activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of 2016 and 2015 predominantly resulted from an increase in deposits, offset by the redemption of FHLBYNY overnight advances that were no longer needed with the inflow of municipal deposits.

Capital Resources

Basel III Capital Rules

On October 11, 2013, the FRB approved a final rule that amends the regulatory capital rules for state member banks effective January 1, 2015. The FRB approved the new capital rules in coordination with substantially identical final rules approved by the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for other types of banking organizations. The revisions make the capital rules consistent with agreements that were reached by Basel III and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. In general, the new capital rules revise regulatory capital definitions and minimum ratios; redefine Tier 1 Capital as two components (common equity Tier 1 capital and additional Tier 1 capital); create a new “common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio” implement a capital conservation buffer; revise prompt corrective action thresholds; and change risk weights for certain assets and off-balance sheet exposures.

The new capital rules implement a revised definition of regulatory capital, a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement of 4.5%, and a higher minimum Tier 1 capital requirement of 6.0% (which is an increase from 4.0%). Under the new rules, the total capital ratio remains at 8.0%, and the minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) for all banking organizations, regardless of supervisory rating, is 4.0%. Additionally, under the new capital rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer composed of common equity Tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The buffer is measured relative to risk-weighted assets. The final rules also enhance risk sensitivity and address weaknesses identified by the regulators over recent years with the measure of risk-weighted assets, including through new measures of creditworthiness to replace references to credit ratings, consistent with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. Effective January 1, 2016, the additional capital conservation buffer of 0.625% will be added to the minimum requirements for capital adequacy purposes, subject to a three year phase-in period, and will be fully phased-in on January 1, 2019 at 2.5%.

The new capital requirements also include changes in the risk-weights of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposures. These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and the unsecured portion of non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise on non-accrual status; a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable; a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital; and increased risk weights (from 0% to up to 600%) for equity exposures.

The new minimum capital requirements became effective for all banking organizations (except for the largest internationally active banking organizations) on January 1, 2015, whereas the capital conservation buffer and the deductions from common equity Tier 1 capital phase in over time, beginning on January 1, 2016.

The Corporation is subject to FRB capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies, which are similar to those applicable to the Bank.

In assessing a state member bank’s capital adequacy, the FRB takes into consideration not only these numeric factors but also qualitative factors, and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual banks where necessary. Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. The Bank, in accordance with its internal prudential standards, targets as its goal the maintenance of capital ratios which exceed these minimum requirements and that are consistent with its risk profile. As of September 30, 2016, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital ratios necessary to be considered well capitalized.

As an institution’s capital decreases within the three undercapitalized categories listed above, the severity of the action that is authorized or required to be taken by the FRB for state member banks under the prompt corrective action regulations increases. All banks are prohibited from paying dividends or other capital distributions or paying management fees to any controlling person if, following such distribution, the bank would be undercapitalized. The FRB is required to monitor closely the condition of an undercapitalized institution and to restrict the growth of its assets.

An undercapitalized state member bank is required to file a capital restoration plan with the FRB within 45 days (or other time frame prescribed by the FRB) of the date the bank receives notice that it is within any of the three undercapitalized categories, and the plan must be guaranteed by its parent holding company, subject to a cap on the guarantee that is the lesser of: (i) an amount equal to 5.0% of the bank’s total assets at the time it was notified that it became undercapitalized; and (ii) the amount that is necessary to restore the bank’s capital ratios to the levels required to be classified as “adequately classified,” as those ratios and levels are defined as of the time the bank failed to comply with the plan. If the bank fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it were “significantly undercapitalized.” Banks that are significantly or critically undercapitalized are subject to a wider range of regulatory requirements and restrictions.

The regulatory capital ratios as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were calculated under Basel III rules and include the current 0.625% capital conservation buffer for 2016. At the present time, the ratios for the Bank are sufficient to meet the fully phased-in conservation buffer of 2.5% in 2019. There is no threshold for well-capitalized status for bank holding companies.

The Corporation’s and the Bank’s actual and required regulatory capital ratios were as follows (in thousands, except ratio data):

Dividend Restrictions

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 current year’s net income, combined with the retained net income of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements in the table below. At September 30, 2016, the Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $13.7 million.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Please refer to Footnote 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements for a discussion of new accounting standards.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties

Critical accounting policies include the areas where the Corporation has made what it considers to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments concerning estimates, and where these estimates can significantly affect the Corporation's financial results under different assumptions and conditions. The Corporation prepares its financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As a result, the Corporation is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based upon the information available at that time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the uncertainty in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover probable incurred credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and the material effect that such judgments can have on the Corporation's results of operations. While management's current evaluation of the allowance for loan losses indicates that the allowance is adequate, under adversely different conditions or assumptions the allowance would need to be increased. For example, if historical loan loss experience significantly worsened or if current economic conditions significantly deteriorated, additional provisions for loan losses would be required to increase the allowance. In addition, the assumptions and estimates used in the internal reviews of the Corporation's non-performing loans and potential problem loans, and the associated evaluation of the related collateral coverage for these loans, has a significant impact on the overall analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Real estate values in the Corporation’s market area did not increase dramatically in the prior several years, and, as a result, any declines in real estate values have been modest. While management has concluded that the current evaluation of collateral values is reasonable under the circumstances, if collateral evaluations were significantly lowered, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses policy would also require additional provisions for loan losses.

Explanation and Reconciliation of the Corporation’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Corporation prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP; these financial statements appear on pages 6–11. That presentation provides the reader with an understanding of the Corporation’s results that can be tracked consistently from year-to-year and enables a comparison of the Corporation’s performance with other companies’ GAAP financial statements.

The SEC has adopted Regulation G, which applies to all public disclosures, including earnings releases, made by registered companies that contain “non-GAAP financial measures.” Under Regulation G, companies making public disclosures containing non-GAAP financial measures must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure and a statement of the Corporation’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure as part of its financial disclosures. The SEC has exempted from the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. When these exempted measures are included in public disclosures, supplemental information is not required. The following measures used in this Report, which are commonly utilized by financial institutions, have not been specifically exempted by the SEC and may constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of the SEC's new rules, although we are unable to state with certainty that the SEC would so regard them.

Fully Taxable Equivalent Net Interest Income, Net Interest Margin, and Efficiency Ratio

Net interest income is commonly presented on a tax-equivalent basis. That is, to the extent that some component of the institution's net interest income, which is presented on a before-tax basis, is exempt from taxation (e.g., is received by the institution as a result of its holdings of state or municipal obligations), an amount equal to the tax benefit derived from that component is added to the actual before-tax net interest income total. This adjustment is considered helpful in comparing one financial institution's net interest income to that of other institutions or in analyzing any institution’s net interest income trend line over time, to correct any analytical distortion that might otherwise arise from the fact that financial institutions vary widely in the proportions of their portfolios that are invested in tax-exempt securities, and that even a single institution may significantly alter over time the proportion of its own portfolio that is invested in tax-exempt obligations. Moreover, net interest income is itself a component of a second financial measure commonly used by financial institutions, net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. For purposes of this measure as well, fully taxable equivalent net interest income is generally used by financial institutions, as opposed to actual net interest income, again to provide a better basis of comparison from institution to institution and to better demonstrate a single institution’s performance over time. The Corporation follows these practices.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measures which represents the Corporation’s ability to turn resources into revenue and is calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue (fully taxable equivalent net interest income and non-interest income), adjusted for one-time occurrences and amortization. This measure is meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s productivity measured by the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

Tangible Equity and Tangible Assets (Period-End)

Tangible equity, tangible assets, and tangible book value per share are each non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible equity represents the Corporation’s stockholders’ equity, less goodwill and intangible assets. Tangible assets represents the Corporation’s total assets, less goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per share represents the Corporation’s equity divided by common shares at period-end. These measures are meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s use of equity.

Tangible Equity (Average)

Average tangible equity and return on average tangible equity are each non-GAAP financial measures. Average tangible equity represents the Corporation’s average stockholders’ equity, less average goodwill and intangible assets for the period. Return on average tangible equity measures the Corporation’s earnings as a percentage of average tangible equity. These measures are meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s use of equity.

Adjustments for Certain Items of Income or Expense

In addition to disclosures of certain GAAP financial measures, including net income, EPS, ROA, and ROE, we may also provide comparative disclosures that adjust these GAAP financial measures for a particular period by removing from the calculation thereof the impact of certain transactions or other material items of income or expense occurring during the period, including certain nonrecurring items. The Corporation believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measures may improve an understanding of its results of operations by separating out any such transactions or items that may have had a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Corporation’s financial results during the particular period in question. In the Corporation’s presentation of any such non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures not specifically discussed in the preceding paragraphs, the Corporation supplies the supplemental financial information and explanations required under Regulation G.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Management considers interest rate risk to be the most significant market risk for the Corporation. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the net income of the Corporation as a result of changes in interest rates.

The Corporation’s primary earnings source is net interest income, which is affected by changes in the level of interest rates, the relationship between rates, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments, the level and composition of deposits and liabilities, and credit quality of earning assets.

The Corporation’s objectives in its asset and liability management are to maintain a strong, stable net interest margin, to utilize its capital effectively without taking undue risks, to maintain adequate liquidity, and to reduce vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates. The Corporation's ALCO has the strategic responsibility for setting the policy guidelines on acceptable exposure to interest rate risk. These guidelines contain specific measures and limits regarding the risks, which are monitored on a regular basis. The ALCO is made up of the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Asset Liability Management Officer, and other officers representing key functions.

Interest rate risk is the risk that net interest income will fluctuate as a result of a change in interest rates. It is the assumption of interest rate risk, along with credit risk, that drives the net interest margin of a financial institution. For that reason, the ALCO has established tolerance limits based upon a 200-basis point change in interest rates, with appropriate floors set for interest-bearing liabilities. At September 30, 2016, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 12.17% and an immediate 200-basis point increase would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 8.08%. Both are within the Corporation's policy guideline of 15%. Given the overall low level of current interest rates and the unlikely event of a 200-basis point decline from this point, management additionally modeled an immediate 100-basis point decline and an immediate 300-basis point increase in interest rates. When applied, it is estimated these scenarios would result in negative impacts to net interest income of 6.52% and 12.28%, respectively.

A related component of interest rate risk is the expectation that the market value of the Corporation’s capital account will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. This component is a direct corollary to the earnings-impact component: an institution exposed to earnings erosion is also exposed to shrinkage in market value. At September 30, 2016, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the market value of the Corporation’s capital account by 12.29% and an immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would negatively impact the market value by 3.98%. Both are within the Corporation’s policy guideline of 15%. Management also modeled the impact to the market value of the Corporation’s capital with an immediate 100-basis point decline and an immediate 300-basis point increase in interest rates, based on the current interest rate environment. When applied, it is estimated these scenarios would result in negative impacts to the market value of the Corporation’s capital of 8.58% and 6.13%, respectively.

Management does recognize the need for certain hedging strategies during periods of anticipated higher fluctuations in interest rates and the Funds Management Policy provides for limited use of certain derivatives in asset liability management.

Credit Risk

The Corporation manages credit risk consistent with state and federal laws governing the making of loans through written policies and procedures; loan review to identify loan problems at the earliest possible time; collection procedures (continued even after a loan is charged off); an adequate allowance for loan losses; and continuing education and training to ensure lending expertise. Diversification by loan product is maintained through offering commercial loans, 1-4 family mortgages, and a full range of consumer loans.

The Corporation monitors its loan portfolio carefully. The Loan Committee of the Corporation's Board of Directors is designated to receive required loan reports, oversee loan policy, and approve loans above authorized individual and Senior Loan Committee lending limits. The Senior Loan Committee, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (non-voting member), Chief Risk Officer (non-voting member), Business Client Division Manager, Retail Client Division Manager, Retail Loan Manager, Senior Commercial Real Estate Lender, and Commercial Loan Managers, implements the Board-approved loan policy.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Corporation's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer, who is the Corporation's principal executive officer, and its Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, who is the Corporation's principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016 pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2016. In addition, there have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Corporation under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
