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 Bank, National
Association (the Bank), and the Banks subsidiaries, Evans National Leasing, Inc. (ENL), Evans
National Holding Corp. (ENHC) and Suchak Data Systems, Inc. (SDS); and (ii) Evans National
Financial Services, Inc. (ENFS), and ENFSs subsidiary, The Evans Agency, Inc. (TEA) and TEAs
subsidiaries, Frontier Claims Services, Inc. (FCS) and ENB Associates Inc. (ENBA), in the
preparation of the accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements conform with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and with general practice within the
industries in which it operates. 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 Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
became effective on July 1, 2009. At that date, the ASC became FASBs officially recognized source
of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to all public
and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) and related literature.
Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.
All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the
way companies refer to GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular
content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic,
Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position and results
of operations for the interim periods have been made.
The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 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, 2008. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition
and/or disclosure through November 9, 2009, the date the consolidated financial statements included
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were filed with the SEC.
2. ACQUISITION
On July 24, 2009, the Bank entered into a definitive purchase and assumption agreement (the
Agreement) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) under which the Bank assumed
approximately $51 million in liabilities, consisting almost entirely of deposits, and certain other
liabilities, consisting primarily of accrued interest, and purchased substantially all of the
assets of Waterford Village Bank a community bank located in Clarence, New York (Waterford).
Total assets purchased (as calculated post-closing) amounted to approximately $47 million,
including a loan portfolio of approximately $42 million. Under the terms of the Agreement, the
FDIC made an initial payment of $4.6 million to Evans Bank, which includes the bid price of a $0.8
million discount and approximately $3.8 million for the capital shortfall at the initial closing.
The final settlement will be determined 180 days after the purchase date of July 24, 2009.
Of the approximate $42.0 million contractual amount receivable in loans acquired in the
acquisition, $40.0 million was not subject to the requirements of ASC Topic 310-30, which measures
the value of specifically identified impaired loans or pool of loans. The fair value of the $40.0
million in contractual receivables was reported as $40.1
Table of Contents
8
million at the time of acquisition. This fair value included an estimate of $0.4 million at the
acquisition date of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected.
All of the purchased loans and foreclosed real estate purchased by the Bank under the Agreement are
covered by a loss sharing agreement between the FDIC and the Bank which is included in the
Agreement. Under this loss sharing agreement, the FDIC has agreed to bear 80% of loan and
foreclosed real estate losses up to $5.6 million and 95% of losses that exceed $5.6 million.
Reimbursable losses are based on the book value of the relevant loans and foreclosed assets as
determined by the FDIC as of the date of the acquisition. As a result of the loss sharing agreement
with the FDIC, the Company recorded an indemnification asset of $1.4 million which represents 80%
of estimated contractual losses on all loans and other assets covered under the loss sharing
agreement.
After adjusting to fair value, the amounts recognized at the acquisition date for major classes of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed included cash of $8.4 million, loans of $41.0 million, and
deposits of $51.2 million.
The Company recognized a bargain purchase gain of $0.7 million as a result of the acquisition. The
gain was due primarily to the benefit of the FDIC loss share agreement. Additionally, the loan
portfolio purchased was at a discount to market yields resulting in positive value to the loans
acquired.

Available for sale securities with a total fair value of $72.0 million at September 30, 2009
were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted
by law.
The Company uses the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) as its primary source of
overnight funds and also has several long-term advances with FHLBNY. At September 30, 2009, the
Company had a total of $9.4 million in borrowed funds with FHLBNY. The Company has placed
sufficient collateral in the form of residential and commercial real estate loans at FHLBNY that
meet FHLB collateral requirements. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) System, the
Bank is required to hold stock in FHLBNY. The Bank held $2.2 million in FHLBNY stock as of
September 30, 2009 at cost.
There are 12 branches of the FHLB, including New York. Several members have warned that they have
either breached risk-based capital requirements or that they are close to breaching those
requirements. To conserve capital, some FHLB branches are suspending dividends, cutting dividend
payments, and not buying back excess FHLB stock that members hold. To the extent that one FHLB
branch cannot meet its obligations to pay its share of the systems debt, other FHLB branches can
be called upon to make the payment.
Systemic weakness in the FHLB could result in impairment of the Companys FHLB stock. However,
FHLBNY currently meets all of its capital requirements, continues to redeem excess stock for
members, and has the expressed ability and intent to continue paying dividends. It has maintained
a AAA credit rating with a stable outlook. Due to the relatively strong financial health of
FHLBNY, there is no impairment in the Banks FHLB stock as of September 30, 2009.
The scheduled maturities of debt and mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2009 are
summarized below. All maturity amounts are contractual maturities. Actual maturities may differ
from contractual maturities because certain issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations
with or without call premiums.

Management has assessed the securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position at
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and determined the decline in fair value below amortized
cost to be temporary. In making this determination, management considered the period of time the
securities were in a loss position, the percentage decline in comparison to the securities
amortized cost, the financial condition of the issuer (primarily government or government-sponsored
enterprises) and the Companys ability and intent to hold these securities until their fair value
recovers to their amortized cost. Management believes the decline in fair value is primarily
related to market interest rate fluctuations and not to the credit deterioration of the individual
issuers.
While the Company has not recorded any other-than-temporary impairment charges in 2008 or 2009,
gross unrealized losses amount to only 0.02% of the total fair value of the securities portfolio at
September 30, 2009, and the gross unrealized position has decreased by $157 thousand from December
31, 2008 to September 30, 2009, it remains possible that the poor economy could negatively impact
the securities portfolio in the future. The credit worthiness of the Companys portfolio is
largely reliant on the ability of U.S. government sponsored agencies such as FHLB, Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA), Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), and Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), and municipalities throughout New York State to meet their
obligations. In addition, dysfunctional markets could materially alter the liquidity, interest
rate, and pricing risk of the portfolio. The relatively stable past performance is not a guarantee
for similar performance of the Companys securities portfolio going forward.
4. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or
paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or
most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In
estimating fair value, the Corporation utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the
market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are
consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair
value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
There are three levels of determining fair value.
Level 1 Inputs uses unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs uses observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are
corroborated by market data.
Table of Contents
12
Level 3 Inputs uses unobservable inputs that are based on the entitys estimates about the
assumptions that market participants would be expected to use and which cannot be
corroborated by market data.
Observable market data should be used when available.
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the estimated fair values of the Companys financial
instruments were as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of fair value. Cash and Cash Equivalents includes interest-bearing deposits at other
banks.
Securities. Fair values for available-for-sale securities are determined using independent
pricing services and
market-participating brokers. The pricing service and brokers use a variety of techniques to
arrive at fair value including market maker bids, quotes, and pricing models. Inputs to their
pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads, and actual and projected
cash flows. Management obtains a single market quote or price estimate for each security. These
quoted prices reflect current information based on orderly transactions. These are considered
Level 2 inputs under GAAP.
The Company holds certain municipal bonds as held-to-maturity. These bonds are generally small in
dollar amount and are issued only by certain local municipalities within the Companys market area.
The original terms are negotiated directly and on an individual basis. These bonds are not traded
on the open market and management intends to hold the bonds to maturity. The fair value of
held-to-maturity securities is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current
rates at which similar agreements would be made with municipalities with similar credit ratings and
for the same remaining maturities.
Loans and Leases, net. The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future
cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, net of the appropriate portion of the
allowance for loan losses. For variable rate loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate
of fair value.
The lease portfolio was classified as held-for-sale and marked to the lower of cost or fair value
at June 30, 2009. Management has since made the decision to hold the portfolio until maturity and
re-classified the leases as held-for-investment at September 30, 2009. (See Note 12 Financial
Statement Presentation to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information on the classification of the leasing portfolio and the circumstances surrounding
managements intent.) Upon transfer of the portfolio back into held-for-investment, the
Table of Contents
13
portfolio
is reported at the lower of its carrying value or fair value. At September 30, 2009, the lease
portfolio amounts to $36.2 million, which represents the fair value of the portfolio on that date.
Deposits. The fair value of demand deposits, NOW accounts, muni-vest accounts and regular savings
accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is
estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Other Borrowed Funds and Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase. The fair value of the
short-term portion of other borrowed funds approximates its carrying value. The fair value of the
long-term portion of other borrowed funds is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based
on the Companys current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Junior Subordinated Debentures. The carrying amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures is a
reasonable estimate of fair value due to the fact that they bear a floating interest rate that
adjusts on a quarterly basis.
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. As described in Note 8 Contingent
Liabilities and Commitments to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company was
a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at September 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008. Such financial instruments consist of commitments to extend permanent financing and letters
of credit. If the options are exercised by the prospective borrowers, these financial instruments
will become interest-earning assets of the Company. If the options expire, the Company retains any
fees paid by the counterparty in order to obtain the commitment or guarantee. The fair value of
commitments is estimated based upon fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking
into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the
counterparties. For fixed-rate commitments, the fair value estimation takes into consideration an
interest rate risk factor. The fair value of guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees
currently charged for similar agreements. The fair value of these off-balance sheet items at
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees,
which are not considered material.
The following table presents for each of the fair-value hierarchy levels as defined in this
footnote, for those financial instruments disclosed in the previous table which are measured at
fair value on both a recurring and non-recurring basis at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are subject to
fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of
impairment). For the Company, these include impaired loans and goodwill and intangible assets.
The Company evaluates and values impaired loans at the time the loan is identified as impaired, and
the fair values of such loans are estimated using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Fair
value is estimated based on the value of the collateral securing these loans. Collateral may
consist of real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts
receivable and the value of these assets is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed
appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on
managements historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation,
estimated costs to sell, and/or managements expertise and knowledge of the client and

business. Impaired loans had a gross value of $6.1 million, with a valuation allowance of $0.9
million, at September 30, 2009, compared to a gross value for loans and leases of $3.4 million,
with a valuation allowance of $0.7 million, at December 31, 2008.
The Company measures the fair value of its reporting units annually, as of December 31st, using
Level 3 inputs, utilizing the market value and income methods to determine if its goodwill and
intangible assets are impaired. When using the cash flow models, management considers historical
information, the Companys operating budget, and the Companys strategic goals in projecting net
income and cash flows for the next five years. However, an impairment analysis of the leasing
reporting unit was performed at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2009 due to a material
change in circumstances and the decision to exit the national direct financing leasing business.
GAAP requires interim impairment testing when there is a material change in circumstances. The
analysis resulted in a $2.0 million goodwill impairment charge pertaining to the leasing reporting
unit. Due to the fact that the Company incurred a net loss in 2009 and the stock price was below
the book value per share at September 30, 2009, management performed a goodwill impairment test in
the third quarter. There were no impairment charges as a result of the test.
5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The provision for loan and lease losses represents the amount charged against the Banks earnings
to maintain an allowance for probable loan and lease losses based on managements evaluation of the
loan and lease portfolio at the balance sheet date. Factors considered by the Banks management in
establishing the allowance include: the collectability 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 Banks management analyzes
the ultimate collectability of the loans and leases in its portfolio by incorporating feedback
provided by the Banks internal loan and lease staff,
an independent internal loan and lease 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 detailed review of the credit and allocation is made based on this analysis.
The general portfolio allocation consists of an assigned reserve percentage based on the historical
loss experience and other qualitative factors of the loan or lease category.
The subjective portion of the allowance reflects managements evaluation of various conditions, and
involves a higher degree of uncertainty because this component of the allowance is not identified
with specific problem credits or 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; timing of the
identification of downgrades; historical loan and lease charge-off experience; and the results of
bank regulatory examinations.

6. PER SHARE DATA
The common stock per share information is based upon the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each period. The Company had 10,295 and 3,642 dilutive shares for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. This compares with 2,698 and 2,664 for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
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. For the
three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2009, there were approximately 265 thousand and
172 thousand shares, respectively, that were not included in calculating diluted earnings per share
because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months periods ended September 30,
2008, there were approximately 109 thousand and 106 thousand shares, respectively, that were not
included in calculating diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

8. 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 Banks commitments
and contingent liabilities is as follows:
Table of Contents

Commitments to extend credit |
$ | 95,563 | $ | 87,320 | ||||
Standby letters of credit |
3,907 | 2,807 | ||||||
Total |
$ | 99,470 | $ | 90,127 | ||||
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit include some exposure to credit loss in
the event of nonperformance of the customer. The Banks credit policies and procedures for credit
commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are
recorded on the Companys 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 GAAP. The changes in the fair value of these commitments due
to interest rate risk is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as the fair value of these
derivatives is not considered material.
The Company is subject to possible litigation proceedings in the normal course of business. As of
September 30, 2009, there were no claims pending against the Company that management considered to
be material.
9. NET PERIODIC BENEFIT COSTS
On January 31, 2008, the Bank froze its defined benefit pension plan. The plan covered
substantially all Company employees. The plan provides benefits that are based on the employees
compensation and years of service. Under the freeze, eligible employees will receive at retirement
the benefits already earned through January 31, 2008, but do not accrue any additional benefits.
As a result, service cost is no longer incurred.
The Bank used 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 amortization method the Bank used recognized the prior service cost and net gains or
losses over the average remaining service period of active employees. The freezing of the defined
benefit pension plan was considered a curtailment. This resulted in the elimination of the
unrecognized prior service cost and the unrecognized net loss. The elimination of those two
components resulted in a $328 thousand gain in the first quarter of 2008.
The Bank also maintains a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan covering certain
members of the Companys 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 presents the net periodic cost for the Banks defined benefit pension plan and
supplemental executive retirement plan for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and
2008.

10. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
The Company granted a total of 89,780 stock options and 10,210 restricted shares during the third
quarter of 2009. All options were granted at an exercise price of $12.99 per share and were granted
under the Companys Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. Each of the awards vest over a four year
period, with 25% of the shares covered by each such award vesting on the first four anniversaries
of the grant date. The awards expire 10 years after the grant date.
11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
As discussed in Note 1 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to these
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, on July 1, 2009, the ASC became FASBs officially
recognized source of authoritative GAAP applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental
entities, superseding existing FASB, AICPA, EITF and related literature. Rules and interpretive
releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered
non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to GAAP in financial
statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the
unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.
FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation Retirement Benefits. New authoritative accounting guidance
under ASC Topic 715, Compensation Retirement Benefits, provides guidance related to an
employers disclosures about plan assets of defined benefit pension or other post-retirement
benefit plans. Under ASC Topic 715, disclosures should provide users of financial statements with
an understanding of how investment allocation decisions are made, the factors that are pertinent to
an understanding of investment policies and strategies, the major categories of plan assets, the
inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, the effect of fair
value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period
and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. The disclosures required by ASC Topic
715 will be included in the Companys financial statements beginning with the financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2009.
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Further new authoritative accounting
guidance (Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-5) under ASC Topic 820 provides guidance for
measuring the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active
market for the identical liability is not available. In such instances, a reporting entity is
required to measure fair value utilizing a valuation technique that uses (i) the quoted price of
the identical liability when traded as an asset, (ii) quoted prices for similar liabilities or
similar liabilities when traded as assets, or (iii) another valuation technique that is consistent
with the existing principles of ASC Topic 820, such as an income approach or market approach. The
new authoritative accounting guidance also
Table of Contents
20
clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a
liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other
inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The
forgoing new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 will be effective for the
Companys financial statements beginning October 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Companys financial statements.
FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC
Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about
transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing
exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new authoritative accounting
guidance eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and changes the
requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also
requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets
including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new
authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 will be effective January 1, 2010 and is not
expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
12. FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Given the high risk of the Companys lease portfolio in the current economic recession, in April
2009 management decided that the business model of ENL was no longer a good strategic fit, and
decided to exit the national leasing business. As it was the Companys intent to sell the leasing
portfolio as of June 30, 2009, the portfolio was classified as held for sale on the Companys
balance sheet and was written down to the lower of its carrying value or fair value on that date.
The adjustment was a $7.1 million charge to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Consequently,
in accordance with GAAP, the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Companys
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 were
presented with the results of the leasing reporting unit presented as discontinued operations.
Results were similarly presented in Note 7 Segment Information of those same financial
statements.
However, after it was publicly announced that the portfolio was for sale, the Company started to
field distressed offers that did not reflect the true fair value of the portfolio, indicating a
disorderly market. After receiving no offers that provided fair value in managements opinion,
management decided that the Company will continue to service the portfolio rather than sell it at a
distressed value because the Company will realize better value. According to GAAP, since
management has now decided to keep the lease portfolio and has terminated its plans to actively
market and sell the portfolio, the portfolio is re-classified as held-for-investment at the lower
of cost or fair market value at September 30, 2009. Therefore, leases are presented at their
principal value, net of the mark-to-market adjustment. The difference between the principal value
and the book value, initially created by the mark-to-market adjustment at June 30, 2009, will
reduce over time as individual leases deteriorate and become uncollectible.
At September 30, 2009, the allowance for lease losses is zero because the estimate of inherent
losses is already considered in the fair value calculation. With the portfolio classified as
held-for-investment at September 30, 2009, the portfolio will be evaluated after the transfer date
in accordance with the Companys normal credit review policies in determining how much of an
allowance for lease losses is appropriate. During the third quarter of 2009, $1.4 million in
leases were deemed uncollectible and the difference between the principal value and carrying value
of the leases declined from $7.1 million to $5.7 million.
Upon transfer of the portfolio to held-for-investment at September 30, 2009, the results of the
leasing reporting unit have been included in income from continuing operations for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
ITEM 2 | - MANAGEMENTS 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,
Table of Contents
21
intend, may, plan, seek, and similar expressions identify such forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Companys business
plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies, statements regarding the asset quality of the
Companys loan and investment portfolios, and estimates of the Companys risks and future costs and
benefits.
These forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations of the Companys management
and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to general
economic conditions, either nationally or in the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys ability
to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; the Companys 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 Companys organization, compensation and benefit plans; and other factors
discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the Companys periodic
reports filed with the SEC. Many of these factors are beyond the Companys control and are
difficult to predict.
There have been historical disruptions in the financial system in recent months and many lenders
and financial institutions have reduced or ceased to provide funding to borrowers, including other
lending institutions. The availability of credit, confidence in the entire financial sector, and
stability in financial markets has been adversely affected. These disruptions are likely to have
some impact on all institutions in the U.S. banking and financial industries.
Because of these and other uncertainties, the Companys 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 Companys Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 Companys 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.
Refer to Note 3 Fair Value Measurements to the Companys Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail on fair
value measurement.
Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 Organization
and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Item 8 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other Notes to the Companys Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual
Table of Contents
22
Report on Form 10-K and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and
liabilities are valued in the Companys Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and how those
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 managements estimate of probable losses in the
Companys 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 Companys Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Note 1
to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan and lease losses.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The amount of goodwill reflected in the Companys 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. The goodwill impairment
testing is typically performed annually on December 31st. However, an impairment
analysis of the leasing reporting unit was performed at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2009
due to a material change in circumstances, the Companys decision to exit the national direct
financing leasing business. GAAP requires interim impairment testing when there is a material
change in circumstances. The analysis resulted in a $2.0 million goodwill impairment charge.
Since the Company has incurred a net loss in 2009 and the stock price of the Company was below the
book value per share at September 30, 2009, another goodwill impairment test was performed. No
impairment charges were incurred as a result of the test.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Loan and Lease Activity
Total loans and leases grew to $473.0 at September 30, 2009, reflecting a $53.8 million or 12.8%
increase from June 30, 2009 and a $71.4 million or 17.8% increase from December 31, 2008. $40.3
million of the increase at September 30, 2009 is attributable to the Companys acquisition of
Waterfords loan portfolio on July 24, 2009. Gross loans and leases are net of $11.1 million of
unearned income on direct financing leases as of December 31, 2008. Commercial loans and leases
totaled $357.3 million at September 30, 2009, reflecting a $33.1 million or 10.2% increase from
June 30, 2009 and a $48.4 million or 15.7% increase from December 31, 2008. The commercial loans
that were acquired from Waterford were $21.0 million at September 30, 2009. Growth in commercial
real estate loans of $26.7 million for the third fiscal quarter and $56.5 million for the year to
date was largely responsible for the increase in commercial loans and leases from June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively, to September 30, 2009. The balance of commercial real estate
loans acquired from Waterford at September 30, 2009 was $15.2 million.
The Company has no direct exposure to sub-prime lending, and as a result, the faltering sub-prime
credit market has not affected the Companys loan portfolio beyond the recessionary consequences
suffered by the economy as a whole. In contrast, some of the Banks larger competitors and the
conduit markets are having capital adequacy and liquidity problems due to their exposure to
sub-prime loans in their investment portfolio or lending activities in other parts of the United
States. These problems have caused some of those competitors to curtail their lending activities
somewhat and consequently have created opportunities in the local commercial real estate market for
smaller banks
Table of Contents
23
not experiencing the same issues, such as the Bank. The increased opportunities have resulted in
the Banks strong loan growth rates.
Direct finance lease balances decreased $4.7 million or 11.5% from June 30, 2009 and $22.4 million
or 38.2% from December 31, 2008 to $36.2 million at September 30, 2009. Starting in the third
quarter of 2008, the leasing portfolios asset quality began to deteriorate. This deterioration
accelerated in the first quarter of 2009. Non-performing leases increased to $2.1 million at June
30, 2009 from $0.8 million at December 31, 2008 and $0.4 million at September 30, 2008. This rapid
deterioration in the portfolio prompted management to take preventive measures such as credit
tightening for new applicants and consolidation of ENLs broker network during the fourth quarter
of 2008. However, in the first quarter of 2009 management decided that these measures were not
enough and materially slowed new originations. Given the high risk of the portfolio in the current
economic recession, in April 2009 management decided that the business model of ENL was no longer a
good strategic fit, and decided to exit the national leasing business. As it was the Companys
intent to sell the leasing portfolio as of June 30, 2009, the portfolio was marked to its market
value and classified as held for sale on the Companys balance sheet. However, after it was
publicly announced that the portfolio was for sale, the Company started to field distressed offers
that did not reflect the true fair value of the portfolio in managements opinion. After receiving
no offers that were adequate, management decided to continue to service the portfolio rather than
sell at a distressed value. As such, the lease portfolio was re-classified to held-for-investment
at September 30, 2009 as management is no longer actively marketing or soliciting offers for the
portfolio and has determined it will service the portfolio to maturity.
Consumer loans totaled $121.2 million at September 30, 2009, reflecting a $21.1 million or 21.1%
increase from June 30, 2009 and a 23.6% increase from December 31, 2008. The balance of consumer
loans acquired from Waterford was $19.3 million at September 30, 2009. Consumer real estate loans
increased $12.4 million or 22.1% from June 30, 2009, and increased $11.9 million or 21.0% from
December 31, 2008, to $68.7 million at September 30, 2009. The entire increase from June 30, 2009
was due to the purchase of consumer real estate loans from Waterford. Organic growth of consumer
real estate balances during the quarter was flat. Recent efforts by the federal government to
stimulate housing demand in the face of the economic recession have lowered residential home
mortgage rates and resulted in significantly increased consumer real estate demand. However, given
the low fixed rates and long terms of the loans being originated, the Company has sold most of its
originated residential mortgage loans. This, along with accelerated prepayments from existing
customers re-financing their homes, has resulted in decreased consumer real estate balances
(excluding loans acquired from Waterford) at September 30, 2009 when compared with December 31,
2008.
The Bank sells these fixed rate residential mortgages to the FNMA, while maintaining the servicing
rights for those mortgages. During the three month period ended September 30, 2009, the Bank sold
mortgages to FNMA totaling $4.0 million, as compared with $0.4 million sold during the three month
period ended September 30, 2008. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Bank
sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $12.6 million, as compared to $1.8 million sold during the nine
month period ended September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2009, the Bank had a loan servicing
portfolio principal balance of $35.4 million upon which it earns servicing fees, as compared with
$33.2 million at June 30, 2009 and $26.9 million at December 31, 2008.

Net loan and lease charge-offs were $0.2 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2009
as compared with $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $0.6 million in the three month
period ended September 30, 2008. Nearly all of the net charge-offs for all previous periods were
in the Companys leasing portfolio, including the mark to market adjustment of $7.1 million in the
second quarter of 2009 when the portfolio became classified as held-for-sale. The rapid
deterioration of the portfolio and the sensitivity of direct financing leases to the economic
environment led management to make the strategic decision in April 2009 to exit the national direct
financing leasing business. At September 30, 2009, management determined to keep the lease
portfolio and terminated its plans to actively market the portfolio. As a result, the portfolio is
re-classified as held-for-investment at the lower of cost or fair market value. As management
believes that the offers in the third quarter did not represent an orderly market, the portfolio
was placed back into held-for-investment at September 30, 2009 using the same discount used
at June 30, 2009. The difference between the principal value and the carrying value, initially
created by the mark-to-market adjustment at June 30, 2009, will reduce over time as individual
leases deteriorate and become uncollectible. The allowance for lease losses was zero at June 30,
2009 when the portfolio was classified as held-for-sale and reported at their fair market value.
At September 30, 2009, the allowance for lease losses remained zero because the estimate of
inherent losses is already considered in the fair value calculation. With the portfolio classified
as held-for-investment at September 30, 2009, the portfolio will be evaluated after the transfer
date in accordance with the Companys normal credit review policies in determining how much of an
allowance for lease

losses is appropriate. During the third quarter of 2009, $1.4 million in
leases were deemed uncollectible and the difference between the principal value and carrying value
of the leases declined from $7.1 million to $5.7 million.
Non-performing loans and leases, defined as accruing loans and leases greater than 90 days past due
and non-accrual loans and leases, totaled $9.9 million, or 2.07% of total loans and leases
outstanding at September 30, 2009 as compared with $4.9 million, or 1.14% at June 30, 2009 and $3.6
million, or 0.88% at December 31, 2008. Of the $5.0 million increase in non-performing loans and
leases from June 30, 2009, $3.7 million related to an increase in loans 90 days past due and still
accruing. Management considers these loans well secured and in the process of collection, and
still believes that the Company will collect full principal and interest as contracted. Much of
the remaining increase in non-performing loans was due to impaired loans acquired in the Waterford
acquisition.
The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $6.1 million or 1.27% of total loans and leases
outstanding at September 30, 2009 as compared with $5.6 million or 1.31% of total loans and leases
outstanding as of June 30, 2009 and $6.1 million or 1.49% of total loans and leases outstanding as
of December 31, 2008. Given the accelerated charge-offs in the leasing portfolio and the continued
troubles in the economy, management increased the allowance for loan and lease losses through the
provision for loan and lease losses to cover the increased level of expected future losses inherent
in the portfolio at March 31, 2009. However, when the direct financing leases were classified as
held-for-sale at June 30, 2009 and marked to their market value, the markdown was recorded as a
charge-off that reduced the allowance associated with the leases to zero. This resulted in a lower
allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2009. As the leases are now considered held for
investment at September 30, 2009, they will be evaluated consistent with the Banks existing
provision and credit policies.
The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases was further diluted by
the acquisition of the loan portfolio of Waterford. According to GAAP, when assets are purchased
in a business combination, they are to be recorded at fair value. Included in the calculation of
fair value is consideration given to inherent loan losses. Since the loans are already discounted
by the amount of potential future losses, they are not reserved for in the allowance for loan and
lease losses as of the acquisition date. Provision will be recorded for the Waterford loan
portfolio for any credit events that occur post-acquisition. Excluding the lease portfolio and
loans acquired from Waterford, the allowance ratio would be 1.51% at September 30, 2009, compared
with 1.45% at June 30, 2009, and 1.04% at September 30, 2008.
The adequacy of the Companys allowance for loan and lease losses is reviewed quarterly by the
Companys management with consideration given to loan and lease concentrations, charge-off history,
delinquent loan and lease percentages, regulatory considerations, and general economic conditions.
Management believes the allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate for losses from existing
loans and leases.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, gross interest income that would
have been reported on non-accruing loans and leases had they been current was $70 thousand and $287
thousand, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, gross
interest income that would have been reported on non-accruing loans and leases had they been
current, was $8 thousand and $25 thousand, respectively. The year-over-year increase was due to
the increase in total non-accruing loans and leases as depicted in the table above. There was $71
thousand and $200 thousand of interest income on non-accruing loans and leases included in net
income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. There was $3 thousand and
$25 thousand of interest income on non-accruing loans and leases included in net income for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008.
The Company had $3.1 million in loans and leases that were restructured in a troubled debt
restructuring at September 30, 2009, compared with $2.4 million at December 31, 2008. These
restructurings were allowed in an effort to maximize the Companys ability to collect on loans and
leases where borrowers were experiencing financial issues. The general practice of the Company is
to work with borrowers so that they are able to pay back their loan or lease in full. If a
borrower continues to be delinquent or can not meet the terms of a troubled debt restructuring, the
loan or lease will be placed in nonaccrual or charged off.
Investing Activities
Total securities were $83.8 million at September 30, 2009, reflecting a $4.0 million, or 5.0%,
increase from $79.8 million at June 30, 2009 and a 10.6% increase from $75.8 million at December
31, 2008. Securities and interest-bearing deposits at banks made up 15.6% of the Banks total average interest earning assets in the
third quarter of 2009 compared with 16.8% in the second quarter of 2009 and 15.7% in the third
quarter of 2008.

The Bank continues to have a large concentration in tax-advantaged municipal bonds, which make up
49.1% of the Companys securities portfolio at September 30, 2009 compared with 50.0% at June 30,
2009 and 49.3% at December 31, 2008; and U.S. government-sponsored agency bonds of various types,
which comprise 27.7% of the portfolio at September 30, 2009 versus 26.1% at June 30, 2009 and 23.7%
at December 31, 2008. Agency mortgage-backed securities comprise 19.4% at September 30, 2009
compared with 20.2% at June 30, 2009 and 20.9% at December 31, 2008. As a member of both the
Federal Reserve System and FHLBNY, the Bank is required to hold stock in those entities. These
investments made up 3.7% of the portfolio at September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009 and 4.7% at
December 31, 2008. The credit quality of the securities portfolio as a whole is believed to be
strong as the portfolio is in an overall unrealized net gain position, with no individual
securities in a significant unrealized loss position.
The Company monitors extension and prepayment risk in the securities portfolio to limit potential
exposures. The average expected life of the securities portfolio is 3.4 years as of September 30,
2009 compared with 3.7 years as of June 30, 2009 and 2.1 years as of December 31, 2008. The longer
average life in 2009 is because the Company does not have any short-term discount notes as of
September 30, 2009 or June 30, 2009 as it did on December 31, 2008, and also due to the Companys
purchase of municipal bonds to replace securities rolling off. Discount notes are bonds which
typically have maturities of under one month and are used to collateralize short-term, seasonal
municipal deposits. Late in 2008 and early in 2009, municipal bonds were selling at a spread to
U.S. Treasury bonds much wider than the historical norms due to market concerns over municipal bond
insurers during the economic crisis. Management took advantage of these wide spreads and purchased
municipal bonds at favorable yields. Spreads have now returned to much closer to historical norms.
Available-for-sale securities with a total fair value of $72.0 million at September 30, 2009 were
pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by
law. The Company has no direct exposure to subprime mortgages, nor does the Company hold private
mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps, or FNMA or FHLMC preferred stock investments in
its investment portfolio.
Funding Activities
Total deposits at September 30, 2009 were $502.8 million, reflecting a $51.5 million or 11.4%
increase from June 30, 2009 and a $98.8 million or 24.5% increase from December 31, 2008. Much of
the increase in the quarter is due to deposits acquired from Waterford. Total deposits
attributable to the Waterford acquisition were $49.1 million at September 30, 2009. Demand
deposits at September 30, 2009 were $83.2 million, reflecting a $4.6 million or 5.3% decrease from
June 30, 2009, but a $7.2 million or 9.5% increase from December 31, 2008. Demand deposit balances
fluctuate day-to-day based on the high volume of transactions normally associated with the demand
product, and therefore average demand deposit growth is a better measure of sustained growth.
Average demand deposits during the three month period ended September 30, 2009 were 2.3% higher
than the second quarter of 2009, and 10.3% higher than the prior years third quarter.
Much of the overall deposit growth in 2009 is attributable to an increase in regular savings
deposits of $65.0 million, or 42.1%, to $219.3 million. There were $9.4 million in regular
savings deposits from Waterford at September 30, 2009. The rest of the growth is attributable to
the Companys premium retail money market savings product that was introduced in May 2008 and has
continued to experience strong growth in 2009 as customers continue to gravitate toward liquidity
in this low-rate environment. Time deposits were $155.2 million at September 30, 2009, reflecting
a $26.9 million or 21.0% increase from June 30, 2009 and an $18.7 million or 13.7% increase from
December 31, 2008. Given that time deposits at the former Waterford branch at September 30, 2009
totaled $38.2 million, organic time deposit growth for the rest of the Bank was negative when
compared with time deposits at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. As was just noted, in a low
rate environment, customers prefer to keep their savings liquid rather than lock up their funds for
extended periods of time at low rates.
Short-term borrowings from other correspondent banks and the FHLBNY was $9.6 million at September
30, 2009, a slight increase from $6.2 million at June 30, 2009, but a significant decrease from
$30.7 million at December 31, 2008. Long-term borrowings were $27.0 million at September 30,
2009, reflecting no change from June 30, 2009 and an $8.8 million increase from December 31, 2008.
The Companys strong savings deposit growth has resulted in a decrease in its need for wholesale
short-term borrowings compared with December 31, 2008. However, in an
effort to mitigate interest rate risk with the growing variable rate savings balances and declining
fixed rate time deposits, the Company increased its long-term fixed rate borrowings in the first
two quarters of 2009. There were no further long term advances in the third quarter after the
infusion of liquidity from the Waterford acquisition.

Net Income
Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $2.4 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared
with net income of $1.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008. The
increase in net income can be attributed to a $0.8 million increase in net interest income and the
$0.7 million pre-tax bargain purchase gain related to the Waterford acquisition. For the year to
date, the net loss was ($0.7) million, or ($0.24) per share, compared with $4.4 million in net
income, or $1.60 per share, in the prior year period. The year to date loss can be attributed to
the $7.8 million increase in the provision for loan and lease losses, which was mostly due to the
deterioration of the Companys leasing portfolio and the resultant writedown of the portfolio in
the second quarter of 2009. Return on average equity was 22.45% for the quarter and (1.98%) for
the year to date, compared with 12.32% and 13.03% in last years respective periods.
Net operating income (as defined in the following Supplemental Non-GAAP Disclosure) is net income
adjusted

for what management considers to be non-operating items. Net operating income for the
third quarter of 2009 was $2.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, an increase of $0.6 million, or
41.4%, from net operating income of $1.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in the third quarter
of 2008. The increase was due to the aforementioned increase in net interest income. For the year
to date, net operating income was $0.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, an 88.6% decrease from
net operating income of $4.7 million in the first nine months of 2008. The decrease was due to the
significant provision for loan and lease losses taken during the first nine months of 2009 of $9.6
million, compared with $1.8 million in the same period in 2008, somewhat offset by the increase in
net interest from $14.3 million in 2008 to $16.5 million in 2009.
Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Results of Operations
To provide investors with greater visibility of the Companys operating results, in addition to the
results measured in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides supplemental reporting on net
operating income, which excludes items that management believes to be non-operating in nature.
Specifically, net operating income excludes the non-cash impairment and amortization of
acquisition-related goodwill and intangible assets, any gains recognized as a result of an
acquisition, and any gains and losses on the sale or call of investment securities. This non-GAAP
information is being disclosed because management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial
measure provides investors with information useful in understanding the Companys financial
performance, its performance trends, and financial position. While the Companys management uses
this non-GAAP measure in its analysis of the Companys 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 with non-GAAP measures which may be presented by other companies. See the
reconciliation of net operating income and diluted net operating earnings per share to GAAP net
income and GAAP diluted earnings per share in the following table:

Other Results of Operations
Net interest income increased to $6.0 million during the third quarter of 2009, an increase of
16.2% from $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. Net interest income for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2009 was $16.5 million, an increase of 15.4% from $14.3 million in the
prior year. Growth of the loan portfolio and the reduced cost of interest-bearing liabilities
continue to be the main factors driving this increase. Net interest income attributable to the
Waterford acquisition during the third quarter was approximately $0.25 million.

The Companys net interest margin was 4.43% and 4.33% for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2009, respectively, down from 4.67% and 4.61% in the prior years respective periods.
The decreased margin in the year-over-year comparison was mostly due to the compression of the
contribution of interest-free funds. The interest-free funds contribution for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2009 was 0.28% and 0.34%, compared with 0.53% and 0.56% in the
comparable periods in 2008. The reason for the compression in the contribution is that while
interest-earnings assets have grown 22.8% in the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2009 compared with the same periods in 2008, there have not been comparable growth rates in
interest-free funds. The two largest components of interest-free funds are demand deposits and
stockholders equity. While average demand deposit growth has been strong by industry standards at
10.3% and 13.4% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 compared with the
prior year, those growth rates do not match the even higher growth rates of the Companys
interest-earning assets. Also, average stockholders equity is actually lower in 2009 when
compared with 2008 due to the Companys losses in the first two quarters of 2009.
Despite the year over year decline, the quarterly net interest margin of 4.43% was 0.18% higher
than the second quarter 2009 net interest margin of 4.25%. The Company was able to expand its
margin by improving deposit pricing while maintaining asset yields fairly consistently. This
resulted in an increase in the net interest spread quarter over quarter from 3.88% to 4.15%. While
the contribution of interest-free funds has declined, the Company has basically maintained the
interest rate spread between asset yields and rates paid on liabilities with a spread of 4.15% and
3.99% in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared with 4.14% and 4.05%
for the comparable periods in 2008.
Net charge-offs to average total loans and leases decreased to 0.13% compared with 7.48% in the
second quarter of 2009 and 0.59% for the 2008 third quarter. The net charge off ratio for the
first nine months of 2009 was 3.00%, compared with 0.49% for the same period in 2008. The
provision for loan and lease losses was $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with
$5.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2009, and $0.6
million in the third quarter of 2008.
This decrease in net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2009 was primarily related to the
direct finance national lease portfolio. In the first quarter, as the leasing portfolio quickly
deteriorated, the Company incurred a $2.9 million provision related to leasing. Then, as noted
earlier, the leasing portfolio was classified as held-for-sale on the balance sheet as of June 30,
2009, and as such was marked down to its market value. This mark to market adjustment and actual
charge-offs amounted to $7.7 million in the second quarter. $3.8 million had previously been
reserved for, resulting in the $3.9 million provision in the second quarter related to leasing. As
was noted earlier, there were no net charge-offs or provision for losses related to leasing
recorded in the third quarter of 2009 because the previously recorded mark-to-market adjustment
sufficiently covers the inherent losses of the leasing portfolio as of the transfer date. This is
the primary reason that the Company was able to have a positive net income in the third quarter of
2009 compared with the net losses incurred in the first two quarters of 2009.
Non-interest income increased 31.4%, or $0.9 million, from last years third quarter to $3.8
million in the third quarter of 2009. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009,
non-interest income increased 19.9%, or $1.8 million, over the prior year period to $11.1 million.
Non-interest income represented 39.1% and 40.2% of total revenue in the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2009, compared with 36.2% and 39.3% in the same respective periods in
2008. The primary reasons for the increase in non-interest income are the $0.7 million gain on
bargain purchase related to the Waterford acquisition in the third quarter of 2009, as well as an
increase in bank-owned life insurance income and revenue generated by Suchak Data Systems (SDS).
Bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) income was $0.11 million and $0.47 million for the three and
nine month
periods ended September 30, 2009, compared with $0.03 million and $0.24 million in the same periods
in 2008. BOLI income was lower in 2008 as a result of a decline in value stemming from market
fluctuations of a small number of individual policies which the Company have since sold and
replaced with more conservative policies.
SDS is a data processing company acquired by the Company in December 2008. SDS generated $0.13
million and $0.58 million in revenue in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009.
Revenue related to SDS is reported in other income on the Companys Unaudited Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
Insurance service and fee income, the largest component of non-interest income, was flat in the
third quarter of 2009 when compared with last years third quarter at $1.8 million as the soft
insurance market continued. For the year-to-
Table of Contents
32
date, insurance services and fee income increased $0.2
million, or 3.5%, over the prior year period to $5.7 million.
Total non-interest expenses were $5.8 million and $19.6 million for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared with $5.3 million and $15.4 million for
the same periods in 2008. The largest component of the increase in total non-interest expenses
over last years third quarter was salaries and employee benefits expense of $3.2 million, which
increased $0.3 million or 9.4% over the third quarter of 2008. Most of the increase is
attributable to the additional employees from the SDS and Waterford acquisitions. Other factors
contributing to the increase in the non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 2009 included
increased professional services expenses of $0.1 million from additional legal work related to the
Waterford acquisition and potential lease portfolio sale and increased FDIC insurance premiums of
$0.1 million. These expense increases were partially offset by savings in technology and
communications expenses of $0.1 million related to synergies achieved in the SDS acquisition.
For the year-to-date period, the largest factor contributing to the increase in non-interest
expenses was the goodwill impairment charge of $2.0 million taken in the first quarter of 2009.
The year-to-date increase in non-interest expense was also attributable to increase in salaries and
benefits ($1.0 million), professional services ($0.3 million) and FDIC insurance premiums ($0.5
million), partially offset by a reduction in technology and communications expenses ($0.3 million).
The changes were primarily attributed to the same factors cited above with respect to the
quarterly increase.
The Companys efficiency ratio for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, was
56.95% and 61.26%, compared with 63.15% in both of last years comparable periods. Amortization
and goodwill impairment and securities gains and losses are excluded from the efficiency ratio
calculation. The efficiency ratio was significantly lower in the quarterly comparison due to the
gain on bargain purchase related to the Waterford acquisition. In the year-to-date comparison, the
decrease in the ratio is primarily due to the fact that the increase in revenue has exceeded the
increase in non-interest expenses such as salaries and benefits and FDIC insurance.
Income tax provision (benefit) totaled $0.9 million and ($0.9) million for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 27.7% and
(56.3%). The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was
35.6% and 31.0%, respectively. Excluding the tax benefit from discrete items such as the
impairment charge and the mark to market leasing adjustment, the Company records an effective tax
rate based on the expected rate for the entire year. The decrease in the effective tax rate for
the third quarter of 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008 is primarily due to increased
tax-exempt income such as interest earned on municipal bonds and BOLI income.
CAPITAL
The Company consistently maintains regulatory capital ratios measurably above the federal well
capitalized standard of 5.00% with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.81%. Average equity as a
percentage of average assets was 7.30% in the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with
8.02% in the three months ended June 30, 2009, and 9.39% in the three months ended September 30,
2008. The decrease was a result of the strong growth in core earning assets during the past 12
months as well as the net loss incurred in the first nine months of 2009. Book value per
outstanding common share was $16.09 at September 30, 2009, compared with $15.08 at June 30, 2009,
and $16.57 at December 31, 2008.
LIQUIDITY
The Company 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 FHLB the Bank is able to borrow funds at competitive
rates. Advances of up to $57.9 million can be drawn on the FHLB via an Overnight Line of Credit
Agreement between the Bank and the FHLB. The Bank recently was approved for additional credit at
FHLB after placing additional commercial real estate loans as collateral at FHLB. An amount equal
to 25% of the Banks 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 borrow at the discount window. The Companys liquidity needs also can
be met by more aggressively pursuing time deposits, or accessing the brokered time deposit market,
including the Certificate of
Table of Contents
33
Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) network, of which the Bank
became a member in 2009. Additionally, the Company has access to capital markets as a funding
source.
Cash flows from the Companys 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, 2009, approximately 7.4% of the Banks securities
had contractual maturity dates of one year or less and approximately 31.8% had maturity dates of
five years or less.
Management, on an ongoing basis, closely monitors the Companys liquidity position for compliance
with internal policies, and believes that available sources of liquidity are adequate to meet
funding needs in the normal course of business. As part of that monitoring process, management
calculates the 90-day liquidity each month by analyzing the cash needs of the Bank. Included in
the calculation are liquid assets and potential liabilities. Management stresses the potential
liabilities calculation to ensure a strong liquidity position. Included in the calculation are
assumptions of some significant deposit run-off as well as funds needed for loan closing and
investment purchases. At September 30, 2009, in the Companys internal stress test, the Company had
net short-term liquidity of $58.0 million as compared with $22.4 million at December 31, 2008. The
increase in the Companys liquidity is a result of FHLB giving the Company more room on its line of
credit after the Company placed additional commercial real estate loans at FHLB as collateral.
Available assets of $88.2 million, divided by public and purchased funds of $139.2 million,
resulted in a long-term liquidity ratio of 63% at September 30, 2009, compared with 51% at December
31, 2008.
Management does not anticipate engaging in any activities, either currently or the long term, for
which adequate funding would not be available and which would therefore result in significant
pressure on liquidity. However, continued economic recession could negatively impact the Companys
liquidity. The Bank relies heavily on FHLBNY as a source of funds, particularly with its overnight
line of credit. Several members of FHLB have warned that they have either breached risk-based
capital requirements or that they are close to breaching those requirements. To conserve capital,
some FHLB branches are suspending dividends, cutting dividend payments, and not buying back excess
FHLB stock that members hold. FHLBNY has stated that they expect to be able to continue to pay
dividends, redeem excess capital stock, and provide competitively priced advances in the future.
The most severe problems in FHLB have been at some of the other FHLB branches. Nonetheless, the 12
FHLB branches are jointly liable for the consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. To the
extent that one FHLB branch cannot meet its obligations to pay its share of the systems debt,
other FHLB branches can be called upon to make the payment.
Systemic weakness in the FHLB could result in higher costs of FHLB borrowings and increased demand
for alternative sources of liquidity that are more expensive, such as brokered time deposits, the
discount window at the Federal Reserve, or lines of credit with correspondent banks First Tennessee
and M&T Bank.
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.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Additional information responsive to this Item is contained in the Liquidity section of
Managements 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
Banks 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 future periods under various interest rate scenarios using
projected balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Managements
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 expected maturities of investment securities, loans and deposits. Management supplements the
modeling technique described above with analysis of market values of the Banks financial
instruments and changes to such market values given changes in the interest rates.
The Banks Asset-Liability Committee, which includes members of senior management, monitors the
Banks 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 Banks net
interest income over a 12-month period of time:

Many assumptions were utilized by management to calculate the impact that changes in interest rates
may have on the Banks 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
Table of Contents
35
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 Banks projected net interest income.
ITEM 4T CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Companys principal executive and principal financial
officers concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009
(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 SECs rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting were identified in connection
with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act
that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial
reporting.
