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.

Regulatory Relief Act			The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act was enacted on May 24, 2018 provides certain limited amendments to the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as certain targeted modifications to other post-financial crisis regulatory requirements. In addition, the legislation establishes new consumer protections and amends various securities- and investment company-related requirements.
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.


Tax Act			The Tax Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and amended the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The legislation reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, with some related business deductions and credits being either reduced or eliminated.
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.

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 8 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act. 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. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year or any other period.

Reclassifications

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 years beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2019, the FASB adopted changes to delay the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to January 2023 for certain entities, including certain Securities and Exchange Commission filers, public business entities, and private companies. As a smaller reporting company, the Corporation is eligible for the delay. The Corporation has established a committee to oversee the implementation of CECL and has selected a vendor to assist in the implementation process. The model chosen utilizes a loss driver analysis which includes reasonable and supportable forecasts to estimate future losses. This analysis includes different methods such as discounted cash flows, remaining life and vintage analysis, which are used depending on the nature of the portfolio segment. The Corporation is running its current incurred loss model and a CECL model concurrently. The Corporation is in the process of updating its policies and internal controls accordingly. The corporation expects to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to our allowance for loan losses upon adoption of CECL, effective of January 1, 2023, consistent with regulatory expectations set forth in interagency guidance.

Section 4013 of the CARES Act gives entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) under ASC 310-40, Receivables: Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, in certain situations. Section 4013 of the CARES Act permits the suspension of ASC 310-40 for loan modifications that are made by financial institutions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic if (1) the borrower was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019, and (2) the modifications are related to arrangements that defer or delay the payment of principal or interest, or change the interest rate on the loan. All loan modifications made by the Corporation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have been in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The objective of the ASU is to simplify the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Additionally, the ASU removes the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails such qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties - COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home. As of June 30, 2021 many restrictions have been removed or lessened and many non-essential businesses have been allowed to re-open in limited capacity adhering to social distancing and disinfection guidelines. However, these restrictions and other consequences have resulted in an unprecedented slow-down in economic activity and a related increase in unemployment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, millions of people have filed claims for unemployment and stock markets have remained volatile. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be fully reopened.

The Corporation's unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the amount of the allowance for loan losses established. Management evaluated the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as it related to the loan portfolio and as part of this analysis, management identified what it believes to be higher risk loans through a detailed analysis of industry codes. Certain allowance qualitative factors were increased based on an assessment of the impact of the current pandemic on local, national and global economic conditions as well as the perceived risks inherent in specific industries and credit characteristics.

Management has taken actions to identify and assess additional possible credit exposure due to the COVID-19 pandemic based upon the industry types within the current loan portfolio. While most industries have and will continue to experience adverse impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Management has designated certain industries as most impacted by COVID-19. For a discussion of the effect of COVID-19 on our business, see pages 60-62 of this Form 10-Q.

NOTE 2 EARNINGS 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 4,683 and 4,850 weighted average shares outstanding for the three month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by 4,688 and 4,868 weighted average shares outstanding for the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were no common stock equivalents during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

As of June 30, 2021, the majority of the Corporation's unrealized losses in the investment securities portfolio related to mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 2021, 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 the Corporation does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not likely that it will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021.

NOTE 4 LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

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. Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, loans less than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 will be considered current for COVID-19 related modifications and therefore will not be treated as TDRs. At its highest point as of May 31, 2020, in conformance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, total loan forbearances represented 15.77% of the Corporation's total loan portfolio, or $242.5 million. As of June 30, 2021, 24 loans totaling $20.5 million remained in modified status, representing 1.32% of the Corporation's total loan portfolio, of which 13 loans totaling $16.6 million had been modified more than once.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation has a recorded investment in TDRs of $11.6 million and $6.7 million, respectively. There were specific reserves of $2.1 million and $0.4 million allocated for TDRs at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, TDRs totaling $6.3 million were accruing interest under the modified terms and $5.3 million were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2020, TDRs totaling $2.8 million were accruing interest under the modified terms and $3.9 million were on non-accrual status. The Corporation has committed no additional amounts as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the terms and conditions of two commercial mortgage loans were modified as TDRs. The modification of the terms of both of these loans included a postponement or reduction of the scheduled amortized payments for greater than a three month period. During the three month period ended June 30, 2020, the terms of certain loans were modified as TDRs. These included the modifications of two commercial and industrial loans where deferral of payments were granted and both loans were risk rated Substandard while one loan was in non-accrual status prior to the modification. The modifications of four commercial mortgage loans included the deferral of payments with three of the loans risk rated Substandard and in non-accrual status, three of the borrowers were over one year past due in real estate taxes and two of the loans were over 30 days past due in payments. The modifications of three residential mortgages included the deferral of payments while all three were in non-accrual status prior to the modifications, two were risk rated Substandard and one was over thirty days past due in payments. The modifications of three home equity lines and loans included the deferral of payments while all three loans were risk rated Substandard and in non-accrual status prior to the modifications.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the terms and conditions of four commercial mortgage loans were modified as TDRs. The modification of the terms of all of these loans included a postponement or reduction of the scheduled amortized payments for greater than a three month period. During the six month period ended June 30, 2020, there were no loans modified as TDRs except those described above during the three month period ended June 30, 2020.

The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs that occurred during the three month period ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

The TDRs described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $1.7 million and resulted in no charge-offs during the six month period ended June 30, 2021. The TDRs described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $0.2 million and resulted in no charge-offs during the six month period ended June 30, 2020.

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 and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

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 its 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the risk category of the recorded investment of loans by class of loans is as follows (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:

Available for Sale 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).

Equity Investments: Securities that are held to fund a deferred compensation plan and securities that have a readily determinable fair market value, are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. The fair values of equity investments are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).

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

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.

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.

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 amount of goodwill reflected in the Corporation's Unaudited Consolidated Financial statements is required to be tested by management for impairment on at least an annual basis. The test for impairment of goodwill on the identified reporting unit is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires judgement on the part of management and the use of estimates relate to the growth assumptions and market multiples used in the valuation model. Goodwill impairment testing is performed annually as of December 31 and no impairment charges were incurred.

NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Corporation is a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk such as commitments under standby letters of credit, unused portions of lines of credit, overdraft protection and commitments to fund new loans. In accordance with 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):


	June 30, 2021				December 31, 2020

On February 4, 2020, the Corporation filed a lawsuit against Pioneer Bank, Albany, New York, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the County of Albany. As disclosed in the Corporation’s September 12, 2019 Current Report on Form 8-K, the Bank owns a participating interest totaling $4.2 million in an approximately $36.0 million commercial credit facility on which the borrower defaulted due to fraudulent activity. The Bank’s complaint alleges that Pioneer Bank, as lead bank, breached the participation agreement and engaged in fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The Corporation received a recovery of $0.5 million in April, 2020, and continues to pursue recovery of the remaining $3.7 million and accumulated expenses as a result of purchasing the participation interest.

In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding claims and legal proceedings involving the Corporation or its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2021, we believe that we are not a party to any additional pending legal, arbitration, or regulatory proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our financial results or liquidity.

A description of the Corporation's revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts: The Corporation earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which included services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Corporation fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are recognized at the time the maintenance occurs. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.

Interchange Income from Debit Card Transactions: The Corporation earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through the MasterCard payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to cardholder.

WMG Fee Income (Gross): The Corporation earns wealth management fees from its contracts with customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to conduct transactions on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Corporation provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management (AUM) at quarter-end.

CFS Fee and Commission Income (Net): The Corporation earns fees from investment brokerage services provided to its customers by a third-party service provider. The Corporation receives commissions from the third-party service provider on a monthly basis based upon customer activity for the month. The Corporation (i) acts as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider and (ii) does not control the services rendered to the customers. Investment brokerage fees are presented net of related costs. The Corporation also earns fees from tax services provided to its customers.

Net Gains/Losses on Sales of OREO: The Corporation records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Corporation finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Corporation assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Corporation adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.

NOTE 12 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 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021. 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.The Holding Company, CFS, and CRM column below includes amounts to eliminate transactions between segments (in thousands).

NOTE 13 STOCK COMPENSATION

On June 8, 2021, the Corporation's shareholders approved the Corporation's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan") which provides for the grant of stock-based awards to officers, employees and directors of the Corporation and the Bank. Form S-8 was filed with the SEC on June 18, 2021. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date. No grants have been issued under the 2021 Plan. The Prior Plan shall remain in existence solely for the purpose of administering outstanding grants.

Board of Directors' Stock Compensation

During January 2021 and 2020, 9,291 and 7,923 shares, respectively, were re-issued from treasury to fund the stock component of directors' compensation for the respective prior year. An expense of $106 thousand and $77 thousand related to this compensation was recognized during the three month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. An expense of $194 thousand and $166 thousand related to this compensation was recognized during the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This expense is accrued as shares are earned.

Officers' and Employees' Restricted Stock

A summary of restricted stock activity for officers and employees for the three month period ended June 30, 2021 is presented below:

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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Reference should be made to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes, and the Corporation’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021, for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis. See the list of commonly used abbreviations and terms on pages 3–6.

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, in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors and on pages 21–32 of the Corporation’s 2020 Form 10-K. For a discussion of the use of non-GAAP financial measures, see pages 75–78 of the Corporation's 2020 Form 10-K, and pages 73-76 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 guarantee 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, and changes in general business and economic trends.

As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, the Corporation could be subject to any of the following additional risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

•demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;

•if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income;

•collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;

•our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect our net income;

•the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us;

•as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income;

•a material decrease in net income over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend;

•our wealth management revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil;

•our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely;

•we rely on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us; and

•FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.

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 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These filings are available publicly on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov, on the Corporation's web site at http://www.chemungcanal.com or upon request from the Corporate Secretary at (607) 737-3746. Except as otherwise required by law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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.

Allowance for Loan Losses

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. The determination of the allowance also includes an evaluation of non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of the acquired businesses. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, defined as the segment level, at least annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently whenever events or circumstances occur that indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that an impairment loss has occurred. In assessing impairment, the Corporation has the option to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of such events or circumstances, we determine it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we would not be required to perform an impairment test.

The quantitative impairment analysis requires a comparison of each reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value to identify potential impairment. Goodwill impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Significant judgment is applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment. This judgment includes, but may not be limited to, the selection of appropriate discount rates, the identification of relevant market comparables and the development of cash flow projections. The selection and weighting of the various fair value techniques may result in a higher or lower fair value. Judgment is applied in determining the weightings that are most representative of fair value.

For additional information on critical accounting policies and to gain a greater understanding of how the Corporation's financial performance is reported, refer to Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting updates, and the section captioned "Critical Accounting Policies" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Risks and Uncertainties

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home. As of June 30, 2021, many restrictions have been removed or lessened and many non-essential businesses have been allowed to re-open in limited capacity adhering to social distancing and disinfection guidelines. However, these restrictions and other consequences have resulted in an unprecedented slow-down in economic activity and a related increase in unemployment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, millions of people have filed claims for unemployment and stock markets have remained volatile. Certain industries have been particularly hard-hit, including the travel and hospitality industry, the restaurant industry and the retail industry. Finally, the spread of the coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations,

and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. We have many employees working remotely and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened.

The Corporation's consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the amount of the allowance for loan losses established. Management evaluated the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as it related to the loan portfolio and as part of this analysis, management identified what it believes to be higher risk loans through a detailed analysis of industry codes. Certain allowance qualitative factors were increased based on an assessment of the impact of the current pandemic on local, national and global economic conditions as well as the perceived risks inherent in specific industries and credit characteristics.

(a) See the GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations.
(b) Efficiency ratio (adjusted) is non-interest expense less amortization of intangible assets less legal reserve divided by the total of fully taxable equivalent net interest income plus non-interest income less changes in fair value of equity investments less net gains on securities transactions.
(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.
(f) Efficiency ratio (unadjusted) is non-interest expense divided by the total of net interest income plus non-interest income.

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 73-76 for further explanation and reconciliation of the Corporation’s use of non-GAAP measures.

Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $6.8 million, or $1.45 per share, compared to $5.8 million, or $1.20 per share, for the same period in the prior year. Return on average equity for the current quarter was 13.58%, compared to 12.22% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net income was due primarily to increases in net interest income and non-interest income, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in income tax expense and non-interest expense.

Net interest income

Net interest income increased $0.5 million, or 3.1%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest and dividend income on taxable securities, offset by a decrease in interest income on interest-earning deposits.

Non-interest income

Total non-interest income increased $1.4 million, or 27.8%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase can be mostly attributed to increases in WMG fee income, other non-interest income, interchange revenue from debit card transactions, and service charges on deposit accounts as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense increased $0.6 million, or 4.7%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to decreased spending in the prior year period due to the worldwide pandemic, resulting in increases in most non-interest expense categories in the current period. These increases were in part offset by a decrease in other components of net periodic pension cost (benefits) and a decrease in other non-interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, non-interest expense to average assets was 2.27%, compared to 2.62% for the same period in the prior year.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses decreased $0.4 million, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to the release of $1.5 million of pandemic related provision, offset by the impairment of a commercial real estate loan. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2021 were $0.1 million, compared to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $0.7 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $1.7 million in income before income tax expense for the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate increased from 18.9% for the second quarter of 2020 to 23.4% for the second quarter of 2021.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $13.3 million, or $2.84 per share, compared to $8.3 million, or $1.71 per share, for the same period in the prior year. Return on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 13.41%, compared to 8.80% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net income from the prior year period was attributable to increases in total net interest income and total non-interest income, and a decrease in provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in income tax expense and non-interest expense.

Net interest income

Net interest income increased $1.2 million, or 4.0%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase can be mostly attributed to increases in interest income on taxable securities, interest income on loans, including fees, and a decrease in total interest expense on deposits, partially offset by a decrease in interest income on interest-earning deposits.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income increased $2.3 million, or 23.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to increases in WMG fee income, interchange revenue from debit card transactions, other non-interest income, net gains on sales of residential mortgage loans sold into the secondary market, and changes in fair value of equity investments. These increases were partially offset by decreases in service charges on deposit accounts and income from bank owned life insurance.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense increased $0.2 million, or 0.8%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to decreased spending in the prior year due to the worldwide pandemic, resulting in increases in most non-interest expense categories in the current year period. These increases were partially offset by decreases in other components of net periodic pension costs (benefits), furniture and equipment expenses, and other non-interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, non-interest expense to average assets was 2.28%, compared to 2.83% for the same period in the prior year.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses decreased $3.7 million, or 112.4%, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a $4.5 million pandemic related provision, offset by recoveries, decreases in specific allocations, and a net decrease in the historical loss factors due to a large 2018 loan charge-off which no longer impacted the calculation, recorded in the prior year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, $1.5 million of the pandemic related provision was released, offset by a $1.7 million impairment of two commercial real estate loans. Net charge-offs decreased $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in the prior year, mostly due to the partial charge-off of a commercial loan in the same period in the prior year.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense increased $2.0 million, or 107.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to an increase in income before income tax expense. The effective income tax rate increased from 18.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 22.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

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 six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. For a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties that affect the Consolidated Results of Operations, see pages 43-45 of this Form 10-Q and pages 42-43 of the Corporation’s 2020 Form 10-K.

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 June 30,

	2021		2020		Change		Percentage Change
Interest and dividend income	$	16,945	$	16,472	$	473	2.9	%
Interest expense	866		881		(15)		(1.7)	%
Net interest income	$	16,079	$	15,591	$	488	3.1	%

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 paid 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 June 30, 2021 increased $0.5 million, or 3.1%, to $16.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year, due primarily to an increase of $0.6 million in interest and dividend income on taxable securities, offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in interest income on interest-earning deposits. The increase in interest and dividend income on taxable securities was due primarily to an increase in average invested balances of $372.1 million. The decrease in interest income on interest-earning deposits was due primarily to the drop in interest rates on overnight deposits with the average yield on interest-earning deposits declining from 0.33% in the second quarter of 2020 to 0.15% in the second quarter of 2021, and a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning deposits in the second quarter of 2021 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 2.76% in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 3.26% for the same period in the prior year. Average interest-earning assets increased $421.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 55 basis points, and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased six basis points in the second quarter of 2021, compared to the same period in the prior year.

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


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		Change		Percentage Change
Interest and dividend income	$	33,685	$	32,856	$	829	2.5	%
Interest expense	1,820		2,203		(383)		(17.4)	%
Net interest income	$	31,865	$	30,653	$	1,212	4.0	%

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $31.9 million compared to $30.7 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1.2 million, or 4.0% due primarily to an increase of $0.8 million in total interest and dividend income and a decrease of $0.4 million in total interest expense.

The increase in interest and dividend income for the first six months of 2021 is primarily attributed to increases of $0.9 million in interest and dividend income on taxable securities, and $0.4 million in interest income on loans, including fees, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in interest income on interest-earning deposits.

The increase in interest income on taxable securities was mostly attributable to a $329.5 million increase in average balances of taxable securities, primarily attributable to purchases of new securities at lower rates, when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest income on loans, including fees, was mostly attributable to an increase of $189.4 million in average loan balances, early payoff penalties, a $0.1 million recovery of non-accrued interest received, and the recognition of $2.1 million of PPP loan fees year to date, $0.9 million of which represents accelerated fees earned related to the SBA loan forgiveness program. The decrease in interest income on interest-earning deposits was mostly attributed to a decline in interest rates. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to a decrease of $0.4 million in interest expense on deposits, primarily due to a decrease in interest rates.

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 67 basis points, and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased thirteen basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Average interest-earning assets increased $479.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 2.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 3.40% for the same period in the prior year.

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 six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. 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 purpose of these tables, 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. Management continues to evaluate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as it relates to the loan portfolio. As part of this analysis, management identified what it believes to be higher risk loans through a detailed analysis of industry codes. During 2020, management increased certain allowance qualitative factors based on its assessment of the impact of the current pandemic on local, national, and global economic conditions as well as the perceived risks inherent in specific industries and credit characteristics.

Based on this approach, the Corporation released $1.5 million of COVID-19 pandemic specific provision during the second quarter of 2021, reflecting revised projected loss estimates based on the current environment. As of June 30, 2021, $2.5 million of COVID-19 pandemic specific provision remains.

The provision for loan losses decreased $0.4 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to the release of $1.5 million of pandemic related provision, offset by the impairment of two commercial real estate loans. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2021 were $0.1 million, compared to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2020.

The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was a credit of $0.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The $3.7 million decrease in the provision for loan losses when compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to $4.5 million pandemic related provision, offset by recoveries, decreases in specific allocations, and a net decrease in historical loss factors due to a large loan charge-off which no longer impacted the calculation, recorded in the prior year period compared to a $1.5 million release of the pandemic related provision, offset by a $1.7 million impairment of two commercial loans recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net charge-off's for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were a $0.2 million recovery and a $2.7 million charge-off, respectively. The decrease for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 can be mostly attributed to the release of $1.5 million of COVID-19 pandemic specific provision during the second quarter of 2021 and the partial charge-off of a commercial loan in the second quarter of 2020. The $2.7 million charge-off for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was mostly attributed to the partial charge-off of a commercial loan in the second quarter of 2020.

The increase in WMG fee income was primarily due to a general increase in the equity markets when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Change in Other Non-Interest Income

The increase in other non-interest income was primarily due to a one-time refund of real estate, sales tax and Mastercard incentives as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Change in Interchange Revenue from Debit Card Transactions

The increase in interchange revenue from debit card transactions was primarily due to an increase in debit card usage when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Change in Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily due to the recovery of non-sufficient fund and overdraft fees which declined due to the pandemic in the same period during the prior year.

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


	Six Months Ended June 30,

Total non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $2.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increases in WMG fee income, interchange revenue from debit card transactions, other non-interest income, net gains on sales of loans held for sale, and changes in fair value of equity investments, offset by decreases in income from bank owned life insurance and service charges on deposit accounts.

Change in WMG Fee Income

The increase in WMG fee income was primarily due to a general increase in the equity markets when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Change in Interchange Revenue from Debit Card Transactions

The increase in interchange revenue from debit card transactions was primarily due to an increase in debit card usage when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Change in Other Non-Interest Income

The increase in other non-interest income was primarily due to a one-time refund of real estate, sales tax and Mastercard incentives as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Change in Net Gains on Sales of Loans Held for Sale

The increase in net gains on sales of loans held for sale was primarily attributable to an increase in residential mortgage loans originated and sold in the secondary market when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased home purchases and refinancings due to the low interest rate environment.

Change in Fair Value of Equity Investments

The increase in changes in fair value of equity investments was primarily due to a general increase in the equity markets when compared to the prior year period.

Change in Income from Bank Owned Life Insurance

The decrease in income from bank owned life insurance was due to proceeds received in the same period of the prior year related to a death benefit.

Change in Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

The decrease in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily due to a decline in non-sufficient fund and overdraft fees when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Non-interest expense

Total non-interest expense	$	13,851	$	13,227	$	624	4.7	%

Total non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2021 increased $0.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to increases in total compensation expense and total non-compensation expense.

Compensation expense

The increase in compensation expense, compared to the same period in the prior year, can be primarily attributed to increases in salaries and wages and pension and other employee benefits, partially offset by a decrease in other components of net periodic pension cost (benefits). The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to the hiring of seasonal employees as well as a decrease in deferred salaries related to PPP. The increase in pension and other employee benefits was mostly attributable to an increase in healthcare expenses as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in other components of net period pension cost (benefits) was due to revised actuarial estimates for the second quarter of 2021 related to the employee pension plan.

Non-compensation expense

The increase in non-compensation expense, compared to the same period in the prior year, can be primarily attributed to decreased spending in the prior year period due to the worldwide pandemic, resulting in increases in most non-interest expense categories in the current year period. These increases were offset by the $0.3 million release of a reserve established at December 31, 2020 related to the settlement with NYS Department of Financial Services as described in the Corporation's Form 8-K filed June 29, 2021. FDIC insurance increased primarily due to an increase in the assessment base due to increased average asset balances.

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


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		Change		Percentage Change

Total non-interest expense	$	27,204	$	26,976	$	228	0.8	%

Total non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $0.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to increases in total compensation expense and total non-compensation expense.

Compensation expense

The increase in compensation expense, compared to the same period in the prior year, can be mostly attributable to increases in salaries and wages and pension and other employee benefits, offset by a reduced credit in other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits. The increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to the hiring of seasonal employees as well as a decrease in deferred salaries related to PPP. The increase in pension and other employee benefits was primarily due to an increase in healthcare expenses as compared to the same period in the prior year. The reduced credit in other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits was due to a change in assumptions used to prepare annual actuarial expense estimates.

Non-compensation expense

The increase in non-compensation expense, compared to the same period in the prior year, can be mostly attributed to decreased spending in the prior year due to the worldwide pandemic, resulting in increases in most non-interest expense categories in the current year. These increases were offset by decreases in furniture and equipment expense and other non-interest expense.

The increase in FDIC insurance expense was primarily due to an increase in the assessment base due to increased average asset balances. The decrease in furniture and equipment expense can be mostly attributed to the timing of initiatives and projects. The decrease in other non-interest expense can be primarily attributed to the $0.3 million release of a reserve established at December 31, 2020 related to the settlement with NYS Department of Financial Services as described in the Corporation's Form 8-K filed June 29, 2021.

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 June 30,
	2021			2020			Change		Percentage Change

Income tax expense	2,075			1,357			718		52.9	%
Effective tax rate	23.4		%	18.9		%

Income tax expense for the current quarter was $2.1 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in income tax expense was due primarily to an increase of $1.7 million in income before income tax expense. The effective income tax rate increased from 18.9% for the second quarter of 2020 to 23.4% for the second quarter of 2021.

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


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020			Change		Percentage Change
Income before income tax expense	$	17,183		$	10,177		$	7,006	68.8	%
Income tax expense	3,858			1,859			1,999		107.5	%
Effective tax rate	22.5		%	18.3		%

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $3.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The increase in income tax expense was due primarily to an increase of $7.0 million in income before income tax expense. The effective income tax rate increased from 18.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 22.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

COVID-19

The Effect of COVID-19 on Our Business

The Corporation continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic while following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Department of Health. As of the date of this filing, a new variant of the coronavirus, generally referred to as the “Delta” variant, has emerged in the United States and remains a significant concern in some regions and, potentially, throughout the country. Certain previously-relaxed social distancing and safety protocols have been reinstated in some areas of the country and it is possible that such protocols will be reinstated broadly in the future. The economic effects of these varying protocol reinstatement actions on the Corporation’s operations cannot be determined with certainty at this time. At this time, our offices remain fully open and facemasks are optional for employees and customers who are fully vaccinated. Efforts to assist our customer base through the Forgiveness phase of the Small Business Administration's (SBA's) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) continue.

Management did not experience any negative effects on our ability to maintain operations and financial reporting systems, and has not identified any impact on business continuity plans. Management does not anticipate additional risk with respect to its ability to maintain internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, nor does it expect any changes in such controls and procedures.

On June 17, 2020 the New York legislature passed, and Governor Cuomo signed, legislation which allows certain borrowers to extend the period of forbearance on a primary residence if financial hardship is demonstrated as a result of COVID-19. At its highest point as of May 31, 2020, total loan forbearances represented 15.77% of the Corporation's total loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2021, total loan forbearances represented 1.32% of the total loan portfolio.

The above reflects the uncertain economic situation whereby the initial response by customers prompted a quick reaction to the unknown potential impact of COVID-19 on their business. Subsequently, customers may have reassessed their financial position prior to finalization of a modification, either modifying deferral requests or withdrawing the request altogether. In some cases, customers continued to make payments on modified loans.

Paycheck Protection Program Initiative

As part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), Congress established the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) under the direction of the United States Small Business Administration (SBA). Included in the legislation, and additional legislation approved by Congress on April 23, 2020 and June 5, 2020, was a total of $659 billion to assist small businesses by providing SBA guaranteed loans to help pay for payroll, in addition to other expenses such as interest expense on mortgages, rent or utility payments. PPP loans have an interest rate of 1.0% and two-year or five-year loan terms to maturity. The funds are an effort to encourage retention of employees and up to the entire loan balance and interest may be forgiven, if the borrower meets certain predetermined SBA criteria. Businesses with less than 500 employees are eligible, although certain corporate organizational structures were not included in the legislation. As a qualified SBA lender, the Corporation was automatically authorized to originate PPP loans.

The Corporation successfully navigated the processes set forth by the SBA and assisted customers and non-customers through Phase 1 of the PPP, originating a total of 1,260 loans. As of June 30, 2021, 543 loans totaling $63.3 million were outstanding related to Phase 1 of the PPP. The Corporation then assisted the businesses who received PPP loans with the forgiveness application phase of the program. As of June 30, 2021, 717 loans totaling $126.4 million were forgiven by the SBA related to Phase 1 of the PPP.

A second phase of COVID-19 Relief totaling $248 billion to provide PPP loans to certain eligible small businesses was included in the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2021, signed into law by the President on December 27, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, 847 loans totaling $76.4 million were outstanding related to Phase 2 of the PPP. As of June 30, 2021, 28 loans totaling $1.1 million, were forgiven by the SBA.

Participation in Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility ("PPPLF")

The PPPLF was created by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on April 9, 2020 to facilitate lending by participating financial institutions to small businesses under the PPP of the CARES Act. Under the facility, the Federal Reserve Banks lend to participating financial institutions on a non-recourse basis, taking PPP loans as collateral. The Bank participated in the PPPLF and received funding for 141 loans totaling $66.4 million. The Corporation fully repaid the funds on May 28, 2020.

Outlook

Management believes that the Corporation's liquidity position is strong. 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, FHLB borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings. At June 30, 2021, the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents balance was $56.8 million. The Corporation also maintains an investment portfolio of securities available for sale, comprised primarily of mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds. Although this portfolio generates interest income for the Corporation, it also serves as an available source of liquidity and capital if the need should arise. As of June 30, 2021, the Corporation's investment in securities available for sale was $687.6 million, $467.6 million of which was not pledged as collateral. Additionally, the Bank's unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York was $78.6 million as of June 30, 2021. The Corporation did not experience excessive draws on available working capital lines of credit and home equity lines of credit during the first half of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nor has the Corporation experienced any significant or unusual activity related to customer reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic that would create stress on the Corporation's liquidity position.

With respect to the Corporation's credit risk and lending activities, management has taken actions to identify and assess additional possible credit exposure due to the changing environment caused by the COVID-19 crisis based upon the industry types within our current loan portfolio. Lending risks, as mentioned, are being monitored by industry, based upon NAICS code, with specific attention being paid to those industries that may experience greater stress during this time.

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue to impact the Corporation's financial results, as well as demand for its services and products. The short and long-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, and related monetary and fiscal stimulus measures, on the Corporation's future revenues, earnings results, allowance for loan losses, capital reserves, and liquidity are uncertain at this time.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents can be attributed to changes in securities, loans, and deposits.

Investment securities

The increase in investment securities can be mostly attributed to purchases in the amount of $217.7 million, offset by a decrease of $72.6 million in paydowns and a decrease in the fair value of the portfolio of $10.9 million, due to increases in interest rates.

Loans, net

The increase in loans, net of deferred loan fees, can be primarily attributed to growth of $48.1 million in commercial mortgages, $7.3 million in residential mortgages, and $0.1 million in indirect consumer loans, partially offset by decreases of $28.1 million in commercial and agricultural loans and $5.8 million in other consumer loans. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) accounted for a decrease of $10.9 million in loan balances. The net decrease in PPP loans outstanding was comprised of $77.5 million of phase two loans originated and $88.6 million of loans forgiven.

Goodwill and other intangible assets, net

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

Deposits

The increase in deposits can be attributed to increases of $66.4 million in money market accounts, $53.8 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, and $30.6 million in savings deposits, partially offset by decreases of $44.4 million in time deposits, and $5.9 million in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts.

Other liabilities

The decrease in other liabilities can be mostly attributed to a decrease of $4.0 million in interest rate swap liabilities.

Shareholders’ equity

Shareholders’ equity was $204.0 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $199.7 million at December 31, 2020. The increase can be mostly attributed to earnings of $13.3 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $6.3 million and $2.7 million in dividends declared during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) can be mostly attributed to a decrease in the fair market value of the securities portfolio. Treasury stock increased $0.4 million, primarily due to the repurchase of the Corporation's common stock, offset by the impact of the issuance of shares related to the Corporation's employee benefit plans and directors' stock plans. As of June 30, 2021, 26,456 shares have been repurchased at an average cost of $36.52 per share, pursuant to the Corporation's stock repurchase plan.

Assets under management or administration

The market value of total assets under management or administration in WMG was $2.246 billion at June 30, 2021, including $328.5 million of assets held under management or administration for the Corporation, compared to $2.091 billion at December 31, 2020, including $305.5 million of assets held under management or administration for the Corporation, an increase of $155.6 million, or 7.44%.

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 "Baa". 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
	June 30, 2021						December 31, 2020
	Amortized Cost		Estimated Fair Value		Percent of Total Estimated Fair Value		Amortized Cost		Estimated Fair Value		Percent of Total Estimated Fair Value

Total	$	683,712	$	687,594	100.0	%	$	542,362	$	554,611	100.0	%

The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $687.6 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of $133.0 million, or 24.0%, from $554.6 million at December 31, 2020. The increase can be mostly attributed to purchases in the amount of $216.1 million, offset by a decrease of $72.1 million in paydowns, and a decrease in the fair value of the portfolio of $11.0 million due to increases in interest rates.

The held to maturity segment of the securities portfolio consists of obligations of political subdivisions in the Corporation’s market areas and certificates of deposit. These securities totaled $3.0 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

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 at the dates indicated, and the dollar and percent change from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 (in thousands):


LOANS
	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		Dollar Change		Percentage Change
Commercial and agricultural	$	340,861	$	368,946	$	(28,085)	(7.6)	%
Commercial mortgages	764,659		716,608		48,051		6.7	%
Residential mortgages	246,667		239,401		7,266		3.0	%
Indirect consumer loans	120,612		120,538		74		0.1	%
Other consumer loans	85,200		90,970		(5,770)		(6.3)	%
Total loans, net of deferred loan fees	$	1,557,999	$	1,536,463	$	21,536	1.4	%

Portfolio loans totaled $1.558 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $21.5 million, or 1.4%, from $1.536 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in loans can be attributed to increases of $48.1 million in commercial mortgages, $7.3 million in residential mortgages, and $0.1 million in indirect consumer loans, offset by decreases of $28.1 million in commercial and agricultural loans, and $5.8 million in other consumer loans.

The decrease in commercial and agricultural loans can be primarily attributed to a net decrease of $11.0 million due to a total of $87.3 million of paydowns received by the SBA as part of the Payroll Protection Program (PPP). Residential mortgage loans totaled $246.7 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of $7.3 million, or 3.0%, from December 31, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, $48.2 million of residential mortgages were originated, of which $19.5 million were sold in the secondary market to Freddie Mac.

The Corporation anticipates that future growth in portfolio loans will continue to be in commercial mortgages and commercial and industrial loans, particularly within the Corporation's new Western New York market. Recent growth in residential mortgages was driven by both home purchases and refinancings due to the low interest rate environment.

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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, commercial loans to borrowers involved in the real estate, and real estate rental and lending businesses were 42.7% and 40.9% 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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 (in thousands):


NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
	June 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
Non-accrual loans	$	3,303		$	6,011

Non-Performing Loans

Non-performing loans totaled $8.6 million at June 30, 2021, or 0.55% of total loans, compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 2020, or 0.65% of total loans. Non-performing assets, which are comprised of non-performing loans and other real estate owned, was $8.7 million, or 0.37% of total assets, at June 30, 2021, compared to $10.2 million, or 0.45% of total assets, at December 31, 2020. The decrease in non-performing loans can mostly be attributed to payments received on non-performing residential mortgages and home equity lines and loans. The decrease in non-performing assets can be attributed to the decrease in non-performing loans.

Accruing Loans Past due 90 Days or More

The recorded investment in accruing loans past due 90 days or more increased from $2 thousand at December 31, 2020 to $3 thousand at June 30, 2021.

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 has 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. Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, loans less than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 will be considered current for COVID-19 related modifications and therefore will not be treated as TDRs. As of June 30, 2021, the Corporation had $5.3 million of non-accrual TDRs compared to $3.9 million as of December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Corporation had $6.3 million and $2.8 million respectively, of accruing TDRs.

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. The unpaid principal balance of impaired loans at June 30, 2021 totaled $19.8 million, including TDRs of $8.0 million, compared to $16.5 million, including TDRs of $6.7 million, at December 31, 2020. Included in the recorded investment of impaired loans at June 30, 2021, were loans totaling $5.4 million for which impairment allowances of $3.2 million have been specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2020, the impaired loan total included $1.8 million of loans for which specific impairment allowances of $1.5 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.

Specific valuation allowances are established based on management’s analysis of individually impaired loans. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, evaluations of the underlying collateral, expected cash flows, delinquent or unpaid property taxes, 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, and more recently the expected impact of COVID-19 on the various portfolios, (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, including the impact of COVID-19.

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 $20.7 million at June 30, 2021, and $20.9 million December 31, 2020. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.33% at June 30, 2021, compared to 1.36% at December 31, 2020. Net recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $0.2 million, compared to net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $2.7 million.

The table below summarizes the Corporation’s loan loss experience for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except ratio data):

Deposits

The table below summarizes the Corporation’s deposit composition by segment at the dates indicated, and the dollar and percent change from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 (in thousands):


DEPOSITS
	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		Dollar Change		Percentage Change
Non-interest-bearing demand deposits	$	674,205	$	620,423	$	53,782	8.7	%
Interest-bearing demand deposits	276,250		282,172		(5,922)		(2.1)	%

Total	$	2,138,187	$	2,037,774	$	100,413	4.9	%

Deposits totaled $2.138 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to $2.038 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of $100.4 million, or 4.9%. The increase was attributable to increases of $66.4 million in money market accounts, $53.8 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, and $30.6 million in savings deposits, partially offset by decreases of $44.4 million in time deposits and $5.9 million in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts. The growth in deposits was due primarily to increases of $57.3 million in consumer funds, $34.8 million in commercial deposits, and $8.2 million in public deposits. The increase in deposits was partially due to the collection of stimulus checks and PPP loan disbursements. At June 30, 2021, demand deposit and money market accounts comprised 75.8% of total deposits compared to 73.9% at December 31, 2020.

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


DEPOSITS BY DIVISION

*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. The Regulatory Relief Act changed the definition of brokered deposits, such that subject to certain conditions, reciprocal deposits of another depository institution obtained through a deposit placement network for purposes of obtaining maximum deposit insurance would not be considered brokered deposits subject to the FDIC’s brokered-deposit regulations. This will apply to the Corporation's participation in the CDARS and ICS programs. Brokered deposits include funds obtained through brokers. There were no deposits obtained through brokers as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Deposits obtained through the CDARS and ICS programs were $346.3 million and $318.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The increase in CDARS and ICS deposits was due to the seasonal inflow of 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 may use brokered deposits as a secondary source of funding to support growth.

Borrowings

Borrowings decreased $125 thousand to $3.7 million at June 30, 2021 from December 31, 2020, attributable to normal recurring finance lease payments.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders' equity increased $4.3 million from $199.7 million at December 31, 2020 to $204.0 million at June 30, 2021, due primarily to an increase in retained earnings, offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The increase in retained earnings of $10.7 million was due primarily to earnings of $13.3 million, offset by $2.7 million in dividends declared during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $6.3 million can be mostly attributed to the decrease in the fair market value of the securities portfolio.

Treasury stock increased $0.4 million, primarily due to the Corporation's common stock repurchase program, offset by the impact of the issuance of shares related to the Corporation's employee benefit plans and directors' stock plans. For the three month period ended June 30, 2021, the Corporation repurchased 5,831 shares of common stock at a total cost of $0.2 million under the share repurchase program. The weighted average cost was $41.98 per share repurchased. Remaining buyback authority under the share repurchase program was 223,544 shares at June 30, 2021. For the six month period ended June 30, 2021, the Corporation repurchased a total of 26,456 shares of common stock at a total cost of $1.0 million under the repurchase program at the weighted average cost of $36.52 per share.

The total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio was 8.57% at June 30, 2021 compared to 8.76% at December 31, 2020. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.72% at June 30, 2021 compared to 7.87% at December 31, 2020. Book value per share increased to $43.57 at June 30, 2021 from $42.53 at December 31, 2020.

On January 8, 2021, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program. Under the new repurchase program, the Corporation may repurchase up to 250,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of its then outstanding shares. The repurchase program permits shares to be repurchased in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On April 27, 2020, the Corporation filed with the SEC a Form S-3 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933. The Corporation's Board of Directors approved the filing with the SEC of a Shelf Registration Statement to register for sale from time to time up to $50 million of the following securities: (i) shares of common stock; (ii) unsecured debt securities, which may consist of notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness; (iii) warrants; (iv) purchase contracts; (v) units consisting of any combination of the foregoing; and (vi) subscription rights to purchase shares of common stock or debt securities. The SEC declared the registration statement effective on May 7, 2020.

The Bank is subject to capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve which establish a framework for the classification of financial institutions into five categories: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized and critically under-capitalized. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those required to be considered well-capitalized under regulatory capital guidelines.

Pursuant to the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Regulatory Relief Act”), the FRB finalized a rule that established a community bank leverage ratio (tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets) at 9% for institutions under $10 billion in assets that such institutions may elect to utilize in lieu of the general applicable risk-based capital requirements under Basel III. Such institutions that meet the community bank leverage ratio and certain other qualifying criteria will automatically be deemed to be well-capitalized. The new rule took effect on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the CARES Act, the federal banking regulators issued final rules to set the community bank leverage ratio at 8.5% for 2021. Community banks will have until Jan. 1, 2022, before the community bank leverage ratio requirement will return to 9%. The Bank has not elected to use the community bank leverage ratio.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

See Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 $78.6 million and $86.3 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Corporation also had a total of $68.0 million of unsecured lines of credit with six different financial institutions, all of which was available at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. No funds were drawn with respect to the any of these arrangements as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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)	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	17,411	$	14,328
Net cash used (provided) in investing activities	(166,201)		(214,995)
Net cash provided (used) in financing activities	97,049		233,925
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(51,741)	$	33,258

Operating activities

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

Cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2021 and 2020 predominantly resulted from net income after non-cash operating adjustments.

Investing activities

Cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2021 predominantly resulted from purchases of securities available for sale, and a net increase in loans, offset by principal paydowns on securities available for sale. Cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2020 predominantly resulted from purchases of securities available for sale, and a net increase in loans, offset by maturities and principal paydowns on securities available for sale.

Financing activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 2021 predominantly resulted from a net increase in deposits. Cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 2020 predominantly resulted from a net increase in deposits.

Capital Resources

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. As a result of the Regulatory Relief Act, the FRB amended its small bank holding company and savings and loan holding company policy statement to provide that holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $3 billion that are (i) not engaged in significant non-banking activities, (ii) do not conduct significant off-balance sheet activities, and (iii) do not have a material amount of SEC-registered debt or equity securities, other than trust preferred securities, that contribute to an organization’s complexity, are not subject to regulatory capital requirements. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Under Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer is 2.50%. Organizations that fail to maintain the minimum capital conservation buffer could face restrictions on capital distributions or discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities and changes in the funded status of the defined benefit pension plan and other benefit plans are not included in computing regulatory capital.

Pursuant to the Regulatory Relief Act, the FRB finalized a rule that established a community bank leverage ratio (tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets) at 9% for institutions under $10 billion in assets that such institutions may elect to utilize in lieu of the general applicable risk-based capital requirements under Basel III. Such institutions that meet the community bank leverage ratio and certain other qualifying criteria will automatically be deemed to be well-capitalized. The new rule took effect on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the CARES Act, the federal banking regulators issued final rules to set the community bank leverage ratio at 8.5% for 2021. Community banks will have until Jan. 1, 2022, before the community bank leverage ratio requirement will return to 9%. The Bank has not elected to use the community bank leverage ratio.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital

distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. Management believes that, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject. As of December 31, 2018, the Corporation is no longer subject to FRB consolidated capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies, which are similar to those applicable to the Bank, until it reaches $3.0 billion in assets.

As of June 30, 2021, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, common equity Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's capital category.

The regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were calculated under Basel III rules. There is no threshold for well-capitalized status for bank holding companies.

The Corporation and the Bank’s capital ratios as of June 30, 2021 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 above. At June 30, 2021, the Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $29.5 million.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

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

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 7–13. 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.

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.

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 rules, although we are unable to state with certainty that the SEC would so regard them.

Fully Taxable Equivalent Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

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.

Efficiency Ratio

The unadjusted efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and non-interest income). The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure 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 tangible 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 President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, 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 various basis point changes in interest rates, with appropriate floors set for interest-bearing liabilities. At June 30, 2021, it is estimated that an immediate 100-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 7.23% and an immediate 200-basis point increase would positively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 7.21%. Both are within the Corporation's policy guidelines.

A related component of interest rate risk is the expectation that the market value of the Corporation’s equity 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 a decline in market value. At June 30, 2021, it is estimated that an immediate 100-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the market value of the Corporation’s capital account by 3.07%. An immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would negatively impact the market value by 3.29%. Both are within the Corporation's policy guidelines.

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 President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (non-voting), Chief Credit and Risk Officer, 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 June 30, 2021 pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, 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 June 30, 2021. 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.
