PART 1 — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1 — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EVANS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006
1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    The accounting and reporting policies followed by Evans Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a financial holding company, and its two direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Evans National Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s subsidiaries, Evans National Leasing, Inc. (“ENL”) and Evans National Holding Corp. (“ENHC”); and (ii) Evans National Financial Services, Inc. (“ENFS”), and ENFS’s subsidiary ENB Insurance Agency, Inc. (“ENBI”) and ENBI’s subsidiaries, Frontier Claims Services, Inc. (“FCS”) and ENB Associates Inc. (“ENB”), in the preparation of the accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with general practice within the banking industry. Except as the context otherwise requires, the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company.”
 
    The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
 
    The results of operations for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
2.   SECURITIES
 
    Securities which the Company has the positive ability and intent to hold to maturity are stated at amortized cost. Securities which the Company has identified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported net of deferred income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity. Available-for-sale securities are net of unrealized gain of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2007, and a loss of $1.9 million as of December 31, 2006, respectively. As of September 30, 2007 the securities portfolio did not contain any other than temporary declines in fair value.
 
3.   ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
 
    The allowance for loan and lease losses represents the amount charged against the Bank’s earnings to establish an allowance for probable loan and lease losses based on the management of the Bank’s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio. Factors considered by the Bank’s management in establishing the allowance include: the collectibility of individual loans and leases, current loan and lease concentrations, charge-off history, delinquent loan and lease percentages, input from regulatory agencies and general economic conditions.
 
    On a quarterly basis, management of the Bank meets to review and determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses. In making this determination, the Bank’s management analyzes the ultimate collectibility of the loans and leases in its portfolio by incorporating feedback provided by the Bank’s internal loan staff, an independent internal loan review function and information provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies.
 
    The analysis of the allowance for loan and lease losses is composed of three components: specific credit allocation, general portfolio allocation and a subjective allocation. The specific credit allocation includes a


Table of Contents

    detailed review of the credit in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” and No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosures,” and allocation is made based on this analysis. The general portfolio allocation consists of an assigned reserve percentage based on the historical loss experience of the loan or lease category.
 
    The subjective portion of the allowance reflects management’s evaluation of various conditions, and involves a higher degree of uncertainty because this component of the allowance is not identified with specific problem credits of portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with this component include the following: industry and regional conditions; seasoning of the loan and lease portfolio and changes in the composition of and growth in the loan and lease portfolio; the strength and duration of the business cycle; existing general economic and business conditions in the lending areas; credit quality trends in nonaccruing loans and leases; historical loan and lease charge-off experience; and the results of bank regulatory examinations.
 
    The following table sets forth information regarding the allowance for loan and lease losses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

4.   PER SHARE DATA
 
    The common stock per share information is based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, retroactively adjusted for stock dividends and stock splits. The Company’s potential dilutive securities included 305 and 705 dilutive shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007. There were 2,367 and 2,279 dilutive shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006. On August 21, 2007, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per share payable on October 2, 2007 to shareholders of record as of September 11, 2007.
 
    Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and not included in calculating diluted earnings per share. As of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, there were approximately 92 thousand and 74 thousand shares, respectively, that are not included in calculating diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. As of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, there were approximately 55 thousand shares that are not included in calculating diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.
 
5.   TREASURY STOCK
 
    During the quarter ended September 30, 2007 the Company repurchased 2,100 shares of common stock at an average cost of $19.12 per share, pursuant to the Company’s publicly announced common stock repurchase program.
 
6.   SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
    The Company is comprised of two primary business segments, banking and insurance agency activities. The following tables set forth information regarding these segments for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

7.   CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities, which arise in the normal course of business, and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. A summary of the Bank’s commitments and contingent liabilities at September 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:
                 
    2007     2006  
    (in thousands)  
 
Commitments to extend credit
  $ 65,503     $ 60,343  
 
Standby letters of credit
    2,027       2,134  
 
           
 
Total
  $ 67,530     $ 62,477  
 
           
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit include some exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer. The Bank’s credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded on the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because they may expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent cash requirements of the Bank. The Bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments during the past two years.
Certain lending commitments for construction residential mortgage loans are considered derivative instruments under the guidelines of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The changes in the fair value of these commitments due to interest rate risk are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as the fair value of these derivatives are not considered material.
The Company is subject to possible litigation proceedings in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2007, there were no claims pending against the Company that management considered to be material.

8.   RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 unaudited consolidated financial statements to conform with the presentation used in 2007.
9.   NET PERIODIC BENEFIT COSTS
The Bank has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all Company employees. The plan provides benefits that are based on the employees’ compensation and years of service. The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing prior service cost and unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual experience and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortized method the Bank is using recognizes the prior service cost and net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees.
The Bank also maintains a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan covering certain members of the Company’s senior management. The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual expense and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortization method the Bank uses recognizes the net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees.
The following table represents net periodic benefit costs recognized:

10.   INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense totaled $559 thousand and $605 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The effective tax rate for the respective periods were 28.3% and 19.1%. The low effective tax rate for the year-to-date is due to the loss on sale of securities of $2.3 million incurred in the second quarter. Excluding the loss on sale of securities, the effective tax rate on all other income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was 27.4%, compared to 27.5% in the prior year. Excluding the loss on sale of securities, the Company records an effective tax rate for the period that will be reflective of the projected annual tax rate based on expected supportable tax positions.
11.   ACQUISITIONS
On July 25, 2007, ENBI completed its acquisition of substantially all of the business, assets, and property of L.R. Frank & Associates (“L.R. Frank”), an insurance agency located in Williamsville, NY, subject to certain of its liabilities. The purchase price of $850,000 included $425,000 in cash and $425,000 of notes payable. The assets acquired included certain fixed assets and intangible assets.
12.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” to set out a consistent framework for tax preparers to use to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions. This interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 uses a two-step approach wherein a tax benefit is recognized if a position is more likely than not to be sustained. The amount of the benefit is then measured to be the highest tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 also sets out disclosure requirements to enhance transparency of an entity’s tax reserves. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. There were no unrecognized tax benefits or penalties at the date of adoption.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced examinations of the Company’s U.S. Federal income tax returns for 2003, 2004, and 2005 in the first quarter of 2007. The examination related to these returns was completed during the third quarter. There were no proposed adjustments that had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. All interest on adjustments has been expensed as income tax expense.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this report, or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company’s business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies, statements regarding the asset quality of the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, and estimates of the Company’s risks and future costs and benefits.
These forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to general economic conditions, either nationally or in the Company’s market areas, that are worse than expected; increased competition among depository or other financial institutions; inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce the Company’s margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; changes in laws or government regulations affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; the Company’s ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired entities; changes in accounting pronouncements and practices, as adopted by financial institution regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; changes in the Company’s organization, compensation and benefit plans; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s control and are difficult to predict.
Because of these and other uncertainties, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation, to publicly update or revise forward-looking information, whether as a result of new, updated information, future events or otherwise.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments, and as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily through the use of internal cash flow modeling techniques.
The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other Notes to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and how those


Table of Contents

15

values are determined.
Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and valuation of goodwill to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The allowance for loan and lease losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses in the Bank’s loan and lease portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment on the part of management and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans and leases, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans and leases based on historical loss experience and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan and lease portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Note 1 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan and lease losses.
Goodwill
The amount of goodwill reflected in the Company’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 judgment on the part of management and the use of estimates related to the growth assumptions and market multiples used in the valuation model.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Loan and Lease Activity
          Total gross loans and leases grew to $307.6 million at September 30, 2007, reflecting a $5.3 million or 1.8% increase from June 30, 2007 and an $18.5 million or 6.4% increase from December 31, 2006. Gross loans and leases are net of $9.2 million, $8.5 million and $7.8 million unearned income on direct financing leases as of September 30, 2007, June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Commercial loans and leases totaled $215.3 million at September 30, 2007, reflecting a $1.8 million or 0.8% increase from June 30, 2007, and a $13.6 million or 6.8% increase from December 31, 2006. Growth in direct financing leases of $4.5 million or 12.0% was largely responsible for the increase from June 30, 2007 to September 30, 2007. Direct finance leases are sold through a national channel of brokers with whom the Company has had long standing relations and finance small commercial equipment. Direct leases carry a higher risk than the rest of the loan portfolio, but also provide a higher return. We employ strict underwriting standards in selecting credits for this portion of the portfolio. Our loan composition strategy is to maintain the direct lease portfolio at an optimum percentage of the loan portfolio that weights the risk involved in this type of credit. The growth in leases was somewhat offset by the decreases in commercial installment loans of $2.9 million or 14.4 %, and commercial lines of credit of $0.8 million or 5.9%, from June 30, 2007 to September 30, 2007. Growth in direct financing leases of $9.9 million, or 31.1%, commercial mortgages of $2.3 million, or 1.7%, and commercial lines of credit of $1.2 million, or 9.9%, were responsible for the increase from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007.
          Consumer loans totaled $91.5 million at September 30, 2007, reflecting a $3.5 million, or 4.0%, increase from June 30, 2007, and a $4.7 million, or 5.4%, increase from December 31, 2006. Real estate loans accounted for most of the increase as those loans increased $4.4 million, or 8.7%, from June 30, 2007 to September 30, 2007 and $5.9 million, or 12.0%, from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007. The Bank continues to sell certain fixed rate residential mortgages originated below a designated interest level to the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), while maintaining the servicing rights for those mortgages. During the three month period ended September 30, 2007, the Bank sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $0.3 million, as compared to $0.9 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2006. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the

          For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, gross interest income that would have been reported on non-accruing loans and leases had they been current, was $39 thousand and $85 thousand, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, gross interest income that would have been reported on non-accruing loans and leases had they been current, was $15 thousand and $69 thousand, respectively. There was $5 thousand and $23 thousand of interest income included in net income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, and no interest income for the same periods in 2006 on non-accruing loans and leases.
Investing Activities
          Total securities declined to $95.5 million at September 30, 2007, reflecting a $22.3 million or 18.9% decrease from June 30, 2007, and a $42.2 million or 30.7% decrease from December 31, 2006. Securities and interest-bearing deposits at banks made up 24.0% of the Bank’s total average interest earning assets in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 34.7% in the third quarter of 2006. The decline in the securities portfolio is a result of the Company’s strategy to de-lever a portion of its balance sheet. The Company sold $45 million in securities in June 2007 to initiate the strategy. During the third quarter, the Company reduced funding levels by pricing down

certain municipal accounts and allowing municipal time deposits to roll off. At the conclusion of the third quarter, nearly all of the targeted funding roll-off had been achieved.
          The Bank continues to have a large concentration in tax-advantaged municipal bonds, which make up 40.1% of the portfolio at September 30, 2007 compared with 30.9% at December 31, 2006; and U.S. government-sponsored agency bonds of various types, which comprise 43.2% of the portfolio at September 30, 2007 versus 22.5% at December 31, 2006. After the sale of securities in June 2007, mortgage-backed securities have declined as a percentage of the portfolio from 43.8% to 13.3%. As a member if both the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Bank is required to hold stock in those entities. These investments made up 3.4% of the portfolio at September 30, 2007 versus 2.8% of the portfolio at December 31, 2006. The credit quality of the securities portfolio is believed to be strong, with 97.5% of the securities portfolio carrying the equivalent of a Moody’s rating of AAA.
          The Company monitors extension and prepayment risk in the securities portfolio to limit potential exposures. Management believes the average expected life of the securities portfolio is 2.4 years as of September 30, 2007 which is consistent with expected life of the portfolio as of June 30, 2007. Available-for-sale securities with a total fair value of $88.5 million at September 30, 2007 were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law.
Funding Activities
          Total deposits at September 30, 2007 were $347.2 million, reflecting a $25.9 million or 6.9% decrease from June 30, 2007. Time deposits $100,000 and over decreased $11.4 million, or 15.8%, to $60.6 million mainly due to municipal deposits and run off of time deposits accumulated in promotions in prior periods. Additionally, muni-vest balances decreased $19.2 million or 42.5% from June 30, 2007. The Company has priced down certain muni-vest accounts and allowed certain municipal jumbo time deposits to roll off as part of its de-leverage strategy. Among core deposits, demand deposits increased $3.2 million, or 4.3%, from June 30, 2007. Regular savings also increased $3.0 million, or 3.4%, during the quarter.
          Total deposits decreased $8.5 million, or 2.4%, from December 31, 2006. The decrease in deposits from December 31, 2006 was primarily attributable to the de-leverage strategy. The strategy has resulted in a decrease in time deposits $100,000 and over of $19.6 million, or 24.4%, and in muni-vest deposits of $5.3 million, or 16.9%. Among core deposits, demand deposits increased $5.5 million, or 7.6%, and regular savings accounts increased $5.7 million, or 6.7%, from December 31, 2006.
          Short-term borrowings from other correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York was $12.9 million at September 30, 2007, as compared to $5.8 million at June 30, 2007 and $24.8 million at December 31, 2006.

quarter, and diluted operating earnings per share increased $0.08, or 18.2%, to $0.52 per share. The increase in net operating income was driven by growth in net interest income and non-interest income, offset by an increase in non-interest expenses.
          Net income was $2.6 million or $0.94 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $3.8 million or $1.38 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006. The decrease is attributable to the loss on sale of securities in the second quarter. Net income represented a return on average assets of 0.74% and 1.07% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The return on average equity was 8.36% and 13.41% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
          For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net operating income was $4.0 million, an increase of 7.8% from $3.7 million for the same period in 2006. Diluted net operating earnings per share were $1.46, an increase of 8.2% from $1.35 last year.
Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Results of Operations
          In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), included in the computation of net income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2006 are gains and losses on the sale of securities. As a result of the Company’s restructuring of the balance sheet in the second quarter of 2007, management considers this item to be non-operating in nature and is therefore presenting supplemental reporting of its results on a “net operating” basis. This non-GAAP information is being disclosed because management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding the Company’s financial performance, its performance trends, and financial position. Specifically, the Company provides measures based on “net operating earnings,” which excludes transactions and other revenues and expenses that management does not believe are reflective of ongoing operations or are not expected to recur. While the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures which may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of net income and diluted earnings per share with net operating income and diluted net operating earnings per share is provided in the following table.

restructure its balance sheet to de-lever its investment in lower-margin assets, with the intention of reducing higher-cost wholesale borrowings. This transaction has provided excess capital compared with historical levels. Management may consider various alternatives for deploying this capital, including share buybacks, increased or special dividends, acquisitions, and other investment and capital management initiatives.
Other Operating Results
          Net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was $4.2 million and $12.3 million, respectively, an increase of $0.5 million and $1.3 million over the same periods in 2006. This is primarily a result of growth in the Bank’s commercial loan portfolio, particularly its leasing portfolio, and demand deposits. There has also been a benefit to net interest income from the de-leverage of low-earning investment securities and high-cost borrowings.
          The net interest margin for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was 4.30% and 3.95%, respectively, as compared to 3.58% and 3.52% for the same periods in 2006. The return on interest earning assets increased 72 and 43 basis points in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 due to the reduction in lower-yielding investment securities and a greater concentration of the loan portfolio being in higher-yielding direct financing leases. Interest free funds contributed 70 basis points and 64 basis points in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, due to an increase in average demand deposits and average stockholders’ equity, compared to a 53 basis point and 48 basis point contribution in the same periods of 2006. The strong growth of leases and demand deposits was offset by an increase in the Bank’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which increased to 3.59% and 3.64% in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, from 3.50% and 3.21% in the same periods of 2006. The rise in interest rates on time deposits was the primary driver of the increase in the cost of funds.
          The provision for loan and lease losses for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 decreased to $283 thousand from $305 thousand in 2006, due to an upgrade in multiple criticized loans. The provision for loan and lease losses increased for the nine month period from $815 thousand in 2006 to $943 thousand in 2007. The increase was a result of continued commercial loan growth, particularly the Bank’s expanding direct financing lease portfolio through Evans National Leasing, which tends to have a higher credit risk than consumer loans and commercial loans collateralized by real estate.
          Non-interest income was $2.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007. This is an increase of $0.2 million from $2.7 million in the same period of 2006. Insurance fee revenue increased $0.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. There were also increases in deposit service charges of $63 thousand for the quarter and bank-owned life insurance income of $19 thousand.
          Non-interest income was $6.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $2.1 million from the same period of 2006. The decline is due to the loss of $2.3 million realized on the sale of securities in June 2007. Insurance fee revenue increased $0.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. There were also increases in deposit service charges of $107 thousand for the year-to-date period and bank-owned life insurance income of $103 thousand.
          Non interest expense was $4.9 million for three month period ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $0.6 million, or 12.7%, from the same period in 2006. Non interest expense was $14.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $1.2 million, or 9.2%, from the same period in 2006. Salary and employee benefit expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 increased $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2006, due to a new branch office opened in December 2006, management transition costs, and merit pay increases awarded in early 2007. Occupancy expenses also increased as a result of the new branch. Higher professional services expenses were the result of a market analysis for the Company’s distribution network by a consultant, executive search, investor relations consulting, and increased legal and accounting costs. Other expenses increased for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 largely as a result of the loss related to a branch operational error in processing checks incurred in the first quarter.
Income tax expense totaled $559 thousand and $605 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The effective tax rate for the respective periods were 28.3% and 19.1%. The low effective

tax rate for the year-to-date is due to the loss on sale of securities of $2.3 million incurred in the second quarter. Excluding the loss on sale of securities, the effective tax rate on all other income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was 27.4%, compared to 27.5% in the prior year. Excluding the loss on sale of securities, the Company records an effective tax rate for the period that will be reflective of the projected annual tax rate based on expected supportable tax positions.
CAPITAL
          The Bank has consistently maintained regulatory capital ratios at, or above, federal “well capitalized” standards. Equity as a percentage of assets was 9.3% at September 30, 2007, up from 8.8% at June 30, 2007, and 8.3% at December 31, 2006. Book value per outstanding common share was $15.24 at September 30, 2007, compared to $14.94 at June 30, 2007 and $14.46 at December 31, 2006. Total stockholders’ equity was $41.8 million at September 30, 2007, up from $41.1 million at June 30, 2007 and $39.5 million at December 31, 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to total comprehensive income of $4.0 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, offset by $1.9 million in dividends in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. The $2.3 million realized loss ($1.4 million after taxes) on the sale of securities in June 2007 did not change stockholders’ equity in total as the loss was already included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity.
LIQUIDITY
          The Bank utilizes cash flows from the investment portfolio and federal funds sold balances to manage the liquidity requirements related to loan demand and deposit fluctuations. The Bank also has many borrowing options. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) the Bank is able to borrow funds at competitive rates. Advances of up to $45.0 million can be drawn on the FHLB via an Overnight Line of Credit Agreement between the Bank and the FHLB. An amount equal to 25% of the Bank’s total assets could be borrowed through the advance programs under certain qualifying circumstances. The Bank also has the ability to purchase up to $14.0 million in federal funds from its correspondent banks. By placing sufficient collateral in safekeeping at the Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank could also borrow at the discount window. Additionally, the Company has access to capital markets as a funding source.
          Cash flows from the Bank’s investment portfolio are laddered, so that securities mature at regular intervals, to provide funds from principal and interest payments at various times as liquidity needs may arise. Contractual maturities are also laddered, with consideration as to the volatility of market prices. At September 30, 2007, approximately 35.7% of the Bank’s securities had contractual maturity dates of one year or less and approximately 58.8% had maturity dates of five years or less. The increased concentration in short-term securities is intended to be temporary as part of the Bank’s de-leverage strategy. In June 2007, the Bank sold $45 million in investment securities with an average maturity of 3.0 years. The Bank has priced down certain municipal deposits while beginning to allow certain other municipal deposits to mature and not be replaced to complete the de-leverage. Until the municipal deposits roll off, the Bank is required to hold collateral to pledge against those municipal deposits. The Bank has purchased short-term securities to pledge against those deposits resulting in the increased concentration in short-maturity securities. The Company believes that the Bank maintains a sufficient level of U.S. government and government agency securities and New York State municipal bonds that can be pledged as collateral for municipal deposits. Available assets of $97.7 million, divided by public and purchased funds of $155.7 million, resulted in a long-term liquidity ratio of 63% at September 30, 2007, compared to 71% at June 30, 2007 and 80% at December 31, 2006.
          The Company’s liquidity needs can be met by more aggressively pursuing time deposits, or accessing the brokered time deposit market.
ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
          Additional information responsive to this Item is contained in the Liquidity section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

          Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and/or interest rates of the Bank’s financial instruments. The primary market risk the Company is exposed to is interest rate risk. The core banking activities of lending and deposit-taking expose the Bank to interest rate risk, which occurs when assets and liabilities reprice at different times and by different amounts as interest rates change. As a result, net interest income earned by the Bank is subject to the effects of changing interest rates. The Bank measures interest rate risk by calculating the variability of net interest income in the future periods under various interest rate scenarios using projected balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management’s philosophy toward interest rate risk management is to limit the variability of net interest income to changes in net interest rates. The balances of financial instruments used in the projections are based on expected growth from forecasted business opportunities, anticipated prepayments of loans, and investment securities and expected maturities of investment securities, loans and deposits. Management supplements the modeling technique described above with analysis of market values of the Bank’s financial instruments and changes to such market values given changes in the interest rates.
          The Bank’s Asset Liability Committee, which includes members of senior management, monitors the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity with the aid of a computer model that considers the impact of ongoing lending and deposit taking activities, as well as interrelationships in the magnitude and timing of the repricing of financial instruments, including the effect of changing interest rates on expected prepayments and maturities. When deemed prudent, management has taken actions, and intends to do so in the future, to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk through the use of on- or off-balance sheet financial instruments. Possible actions include, but are not limited to, changing the pricing of loan and deposit products, and modifying the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and other financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes.
          The following table demonstrates the possible impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income over a 12 month period of time:
SENSITIVITY OF NET INTEREST INCOME
TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES
                 
    Calculated (decrease) increase
    in projected annual net interest income
    (in thousands)
 
    September 30, 2007   December 31, 2006
Changes in interest rates
               
 
               
+200 basis points
    (493 )     (853 )
+100 basis points
    (244 )     (424 )
 
               
-100 basis points
    191       379  
-200 basis points
    210       551  
          Many assumptions were utilized by management to calculate the impact that changes in the interest rates may have on the Bank’s net interest income. The more significant assumptions related to the rate of prepayments of mortgage-related assets, loan and deposit volumes and pricing, and deposit maturities. The Bank assumed immediate changes in rates including 200 basis point rate changes. In the event that the 200 basis point rate changes cannot be achieved, the applicable rate changes are limited to lesser amounts such that interest rates cannot be less than zero. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the Bank cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ significantly due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes in market conditions and interest rate differentials (spreads) between maturity/repricing categories, as well as any actions such as those previously described, which management may take to counter such changes. In light of the uncertainties and assumptions associated with the process, the amounts presented in the table and changes in such amounts are not considered significant to the Bank’s projected net interest income.

ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007 (the end of the period covered by this Report) have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
     No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting were identified in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

All of the foregoing shares were purchased in open market transactions. On August 18, 2005, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase of up to 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock over the next two years, unless the program is terminated earlier. On August 21, 2007 the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100,000 shares over the next two years, unless the program is terminated earlier. This program supersedes the Company’s previous repurchase program authorized on August 18, 2005. The Company did not make any repurchases during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 other than pursuant to this publicly announced program.
