CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
Chemung Financial Corporation (the Corporation), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the Bank) and CFS Group, Inc., a financial services company which commenced operations during the third quarter of 2001, provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary and other financial services to its local market area. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The data in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in the Corporation's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders. That data, along with the other interim financial information presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and statements of cash flows should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, contained in the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders. Amounts in prior periods' condensed consolidated interim financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary to present fairly the Corporation's financial position as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
2. Basic Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by 3,956,316 and 4,058,413 weighted average shares outstanding for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 3,860,639 and 4,050,504 weighted average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 respectively. Issuable shares (such as those related to directors' restricted stock units) are considered outstanding and are included in the computation of basic earnings per share. No dilutive common stock equivalents were outstanding during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, thus eliminating the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.
SFAS No. 142 requires that acquired intangible assets (other than goodwill) be amortized over their useful economic life, while goodwill and any acquired intangible assets with an indefinite useful economic life are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis based upon guidelines specified in the Statement. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be evaluated for impairment as of January 1, 2002. The Corporation has concluded that the carrying value of its goodwill is not impaired.
The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. At December 31, 2001, the Corporation had goodwill of $1,516,666 related to the acquisition of a bank in 1994. The amortization expense related to this goodwill amounted to $189,583 for the year ended December 31, 2001. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Corporation is no longer amortizing this goodwill subsequent to December 31, 2001, which will reduce non-interest expenses by $189,583 in 2002, as compared to 2001. Excluding the impact of this goodwill amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, net income would have been $2,618,989, or $0.65 basic earnings per share, and $6,978,688, or $1.72 basic earnings per share, respectively.
At September 30, 2002, the Corporation also has a core deposit intangible asset ("CDI") with a carrying amount of $2,651,464 (original amount of $5,965,793, net of accumulated amortization of $3,314,329) related to the acquisition of deposits from the Resolution Trust Company in 1994. The amortization expense related to this CDI totaled $99,430 for both the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and $298,290 for both the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. As of September 30, 2002, the remaining amortization period for this CDI is approximately 6.6 years. This CDI is being amortized on a straight-line basis. The estimated annual amortization expense is $397,720 for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 through 2006.
In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions." SFAS No. 147 amends SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions," SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," and FASB Interpretation No. 9, "Applying APB Opinions Nos. 16 and 17 When a Savings and Loan Association or a Similar Institution is Acquired in a Business Combination Accounted for by the Purchase Method." SFAS No. 147 removes acquisitions of financial institutions, other than transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, from the scope of SFAS No. 72 and FASB Interpretation No. 9. SFAS No. 147 also amends the provisions of SFAS No. 144 to apply to long-term customer-relationship intangible assets recognized in the acquisition of a financial institution. The provisions of SFAS No. 147 are effective October 1, 2002. Accordingly, effective October 1, 2002, the Corporation will evaluate its CDI for impairment in accordan
ce with the provisions of SFAS No. 144. Management does not expect any impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of SFAS No. 147.
4. Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income of the Corporation represents net income plus other comprehensive income or loss, which consists of the net change in unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale, net of the related tax effect. Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss represents the net unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale as of the consolidated balance sheet dates, net of the related tax effect.
Comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 was $1,540,500 and $6,552,518, respectively. Comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 was $3,725,244 and $10,007,396, respectively. The following summarizes the components of other comprehensive income:

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
The review that follows focuses on the significant factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of Chemung Financial Corporation during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, with comparisons to the comparable periods in 2001, as applicable. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, as well as the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, should be read in conjunction with this review. Amounts in prior periods' unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.
Forward-looking Statements
Statements included in this report include "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Chemung Financial Corporation cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The following important factors, among others, could cause Chemung Financial Corporation's actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement: (1) credit risk, (2) interest rate risk, (3) competition, (4) changes in the regulatory environment, and (5) changes in general business and economic trends. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive, and the Corporation disclaims any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflec
t events or circumstances after the date of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Financial Condition
Consolidated assets at September 30, 2002 totaled $753.2 million, an increase of $28.2 million or 3.9% since the beginning of the year. Earning assets increased $29.6 million or 4.4% from year end 2001 to September 30, 2002. This increase is reflected primarily in federal funds sold (+ $30.2 million), and the loan portfolio (+ $5.6 million), offset somewhat by a decrease in the securities portfolio (- $6.1 million).
The period end federal funds sold balance of $30.2 million includes proceeds from the sale of a $5.0 million U.S. Treasury bond, as well as proceeds from two federal agency bonds totaling $17.5 million which were called during the last few days of the quarter. The proceeds from these transactions are being re-invested in new security purchases during the fourth quarter.
As noted above, total loans increased $5.6 million or 1.3% with $3.5 million of this growth in the commercial portfolio, including commercial mortgages. While the weakness in the economy has impacted commercial loan volume as compared to a year ago, we continue to see a steady volume of new requests. Given the interest rate environment, real estate lending has continued to be active, with our residential mortgage and home equity portfolios having grown $873 thousand and $3.5 million, respectively, since the beginning of the year. The above increases have been somewhat offset primarily by a $2.3 million decrease in installment loans. This decrease is related primarily to a decrease in indirect auto loans outstanding, caused in large part to the competitive pricing environment, including captive auto financing companies offering 0% financing for terms up to 5 years.
The Available for Sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $234.7 million at September 30, 2002, compared to $239.1 million at the end of 2001, a decrease of $4.4 million. At amortized cost, the available for sale segment of the securities portfolio is down $7.0 million since year end. This decrease is due primarily to the sale of the $5.0 million U.S. Treasury bond and the $17.5 million in agency bonds, which were called during the last few days of the quarter. As noted above, re-investment of these proceeds will occur during the fourth quarter. Since December 31, 2001, major changes in the available for sale portfolio include an increase in mortgage-backed securities ($20.2 million), offset primarily by decreases in federal agency bonds (- $25.9 million) and corporate bonds (- $991 thousand). The pre-tax valuation adjustment for net unrealized gains has increased $2.6 million since the beginning of the year, reflecting the impact that lower intermediate and long-term market rates have had on t
he bond portfolio. The Held to Maturity segment of the portfolio, consisting primarily of local municipal obligations, totaled $5.4 million as compared to $7.1 million at the end of 2001, a decrease of $1.7 million.
The $2.0 million increase in premises and equipment is related primarily to continuing renovations to our main office first floor, as well as the purchase of a new mainframe computer system and trust department operating system. These investments are part of an ongoing commitment to provide quality service to both existing and new clients. The asset increases were offset primarily by a $1.4 million decrease in cash and due from banks due to lower period-end branch cash balances.
The year to date asset growth has been supported primarily by a $33.5 million or 6.4% increase in deposits. Period-end public funds deposit balances were up approximately $6.5 million. Despite the low interest rate environment, all other deposits increased $27.0 million, with $16.5 million of this increase the result of higher personal account balances reflected in savings and investment certificates. The balance of the increase is reflected primarily in higher period-end non-personal insured money market account balances. The $7.3 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase is the result of the purchase of a $10.0 million federal agency bond that was leveraged with a $10.0 million term repurchase agreement entered into with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. Along with the securities transactions noted above, the increase in deposits also contributed to the $30.2 million increase in federal funds sold, as well as the $12.6 million repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Third Quarter of 2002 vs. 2001
Net interest income totaled $6.943 million as compared to $7.065 million during the third quarter of 2001, a decrease of $122 thousand or 1.7%. While average earning assets were up $28.8 million or 4.3% as compared to the third quarter of 2001, total interest and dividend income decreased $1.163 million or 9.4% as the yield declined 96 basis points from 7.36% to 6.40%. Of the increase in average earning assets, approximately $7.1 million was in the loan portfolio, primarily related to higher average home equity loans (+ $4.6 million) and mortgages (+ $4.7 million). The securities portfolio has increased $2.7 million on average, with overnight federal funds sold averaging $18.3 million more than during the third quarter of 2001.
Total average funding liabilities have increased $28.3 million or 4.4% when compared to the third quarter of 2001. Average deposits when compared to the third quarter of last year are up $19.1 million despite public fund balances averaging approximately $16.3 million lower than last year. All other deposits are up approximately $35.4 million on average, with $25.8 million of this growth in personal account balances, reflected primarily in higher average demand deposit, savings and investment certificate balances. The balance of the average deposit growth is reflected primarily in higher non-personal insured money market and investment certificate balances. The $11.3 million increase in average securities sold under agreements to repurchase is primarily due to an increase in securities purchases funded by term repurchase agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. Due to the decline in interest rates, interest expense totaled $4.288 million as compared to $5.330 million during the third quarter
of last year, a decrease of $1.042 million or 19.5%. The total cost of funds, including the effect of non-interest-bearing funding sources (such as demand deposits) decreased 76 basis points from 3.31% to 2.55%. The above yields and costs resulted in a net interest margin during the third quarter of 2002 of 3.95% as compared to 4.20% during the third quarter of 2001.
Other operating income decreased $1.288 million or 41.2%. Included in this decrease is a $1.124 million decrease in net gains/losses on securities transactions. This includes the effect of the above mentioned $1.006 million write-down of the corporate bond, which is reflected in the third quarter 2002 $704 thousand net loss on securities transactions. During the third quarter of 2002, we did sell a $5.0 million U.S. Treasury bond at a gain of $302 thousand. Excluding the $1.124 million decrease in net gains/losses on securities transactions, all other operating income declined $164 thousand or 6.1%. The area having the greatest impact on this decrease was trust and investment services fee income (- $142 thousand). Income from our equity investment in Cephas Capital Partners, L.P. was down $81 thousand, due to an increase in the quarterly loan loss provision by Cephas. The above decreases were somewhat offset primarily by increases in revenue from CFS Group, Inc. (+ $48 thousand) and service charges on
deposit accounts (+ $41 thousand).
Operating expenses were $495 thousand or 8.2% higher than the comparable period last year. Of this increase, $327 thousand is due to a prepayment penalty related to a refinance of a term advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank. With interest rates at such low levels, management determined it advantageous to payoff an existing advance carrying a rate of 4.90%, and refinance for a five-year term at a rate of 3.72%. This rate reduction, coupled with a 6 basis point increase in yield on the reinvestment of the proceeds from the sale of the U.S. Treasury bond noted above, will be accretive to future earnings. Excluding this, all other operating expenses increased $168 thousand or 2.8%. Salaries and wages increased $94 thousand, while pension and other employee benefits were down $42 thousand. Pension costs themselves were $118 thousand higher than during the third quarter of last year. While the pension plan continues to be fully funded, the increase does reflect the impact of a declining stock market on the
value of plan assets, as well as an increase in compensation. These conditions are expected to result in continued increases in the pension expense category in 2003. Other significant benefit increases were related to health insurance and post-retirement medical benefits (+ $62 thousand). The above benefit increases were offset primarily by a $219 thousand decrease in the accrual for year-end incentive bonuses. Additionally, depreciation expense has increased $80 thousand, resulting from increased investment in property and equipment. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Corporation did not incur any amortization expense related to goodwill during the third quarter of 2002. During the third quarter of 2001, amortization of goodwill totaled $47 thousand.
The $1.294 million decrease in income tax expense is the result of lower pre-tax earnings, as well as the realization of approximately $58 thousand in New York State Empire Zone real property and tax reduction credits.
Year-to-date 2002 vs. 2001
Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 was $4.941 million, a 27.7% decrease as compared to September 30, 2001 results. Earnings per share declined 25.6%, from $1.68 to $1.25 on 102,097 fewer average shares outstanding. As was the case with third quarter results, the year to date results have been impacted by the increase in the provision for loan losses (+ $1.438 million) and the $1.006 million write-down of the investment in a corporate bond. These items have negatively impacted year-to-date net earnings by approximately $1.484 million or $0.38 per share.
Net interest income for the first nine months of this year has increased $281 thousand or 1.4% as compared to the first nine months of 2001. Total interest and dividend income on earning assets was $33.735 million as compared to $37.066 million a year earlier, a decrease of $3.331 million or 9.0%. While on average, total earning assets have increased by $31.2 million or 4.8%, this increase has been offset by a lower interest rate environment, as reflected in a yield decline of 99 basis points from 7.57% to 6.58%. A major factor in the increase in average earning assets was the $16.7 million or 4.1% increase in average loans outstanding. Year to date, average commercial loans have increased $13.1 million or 7.4%, with average mortgages showing a $7.2 million or 7.5% increase. Other significant growth was evidenced by a $4.2 million or 9.3% average increase in the home equity portfolio. The above loan growth was somewhat offset by a $7.8 million decrease in average consumer installment loans, this declin
e related primarily to a lower volume of indirect retail auto financing. In addition to loan growth, the securities portfolio and federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits have increased on average $6.1 million and $8.4 million, respectively.
While average funding liabilities increased $28.6 million or 4.6%, interest expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 was down $3.612 million or 21.5%. This is reflective of the interest rate declines over the past year which have resulted in an 89 basis point decline in the cost of funds from 3.58% to 2.69%. While public fund average balances are down $27.6 million, other personal and non-personal account averages have increased $35.6 million. Much of this growth ($27.1 million) is in personal deposit accounts, primarily reflected in higher average time deposits (+ $9.0 million), savings (+ $11.4 million) and demand deposits (+ $4.3 million). Securities sold under agreements to repurchase have increased $21.8 million on average due primarily to an increase in securities purchases funded by term repurchase agreements entered into with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. The net interest margin for the first nine months of 2002 was 4.00% as compared to 4.14% during the first nine mon
ths of last year.
Other operating income is approximately $773 thousand or 9.1% lower than during the first nine months of 2001. This decrease includes the impact of the $1.006 million bond write-down discussed previously in this report. Excluding this write-down, all other operating income has increased about $233 thousand or 2.8%. Accelerated stock donations made during the second quarter have resulted in a $122 thousand year-to-date increase in non-taxable gains on stock donations. In addition to the above, we have realized year-to-date increases in revenue generated by CFS Group, Inc. (+ $125 thousand), service charges on deposit accounts (+ $82 thousand), credit card merchant earnings (+ $72 thousand) and checkcard interchange income (+ $65 thousand). These increases were somewhat offset by a $207 thousand decrease in trust and investment services income.
Operating expenses year-to-date have increased $1.565 million or 8.7%. Excluding the prepayment penalty of $327 thousand discussed above, all other operating expenses have increased $1.239 million or 6.9%. The most significant factor impacting this increase is a $723 thousand increase in salaries and wages, and pension and other employee benefits. While salaries and wages have increased $474 thousand, pension and other employee benefits are up $249 thousand. This increase is primarily due to higher pension costs (+ $364 thousand) and health insurance and post-retirement medical benefits costs (+ $85 thousand), offset primarily by a $250 thousand decrease in the accrual for year-end incentive bonuses. Other significant factors in the operating expense increase include credit card and merchant deposit services processing costs (+ $199 thousand) and depreciation expense (+ $224 thousand). In compliance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Corporation has not incurred any amortization expense related to
goodwill during the first nine months of this year. During the first nine months of 2001, this expense totaled $142 thousand.
The $1.600 million decrease in income tax expense is reflective of both a lower level of pre-tax earnings, as well as the realization of approximately $58 thousand in New York State Empire Zone real property and tax reduction credits.
