Available for sale securities with a total fair value of $96.8 million and $71.1 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, 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. The Company had a total of $6 million and $9 million in borrowed funds with FHLBNY at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. 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 $1.4 million in FHLBNY stock as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 at amortized cost. The Company regularly evaluates investments in FHLBNY for impairment, considering liquidity, operating performance, capital position, stock repurchase and dividend history. At this time, the Company does not believe any impairment in FHLBNY stock is warranted.

The scheduled maturities of debt and mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 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.

Table of Contents

In regard to municipal securities, the Company’s general investment policy is that in-state securities must be rated at least Moody’s Baa (or equivalent) at the time of purchase. The Company reviews the ratings report and municipality financial statements and prepares a pre-purchase analysis report before the purchase of any municipal securities. Out-of-state issues must be rated by Moody’s at least Aa (or equivalent) at the time of purchase. The Company did not own any out-of-state municipal bonds at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. Bonds rated below A are reviewed periodically to ensure their continued credit worthiness. While purchase of non-rated municipal securities is permitted under the Company’s investment policy, such purchases are limited to bonds issued by municipalities in the Company’s general market area. Those municipalities are typically customers of the Bank whose financial situation is familiar to management. The financial statements of the issuers of non-rated securities are reviewed by the Bank and a credit file of the issuers is kept on each non-rated municipal security with relevant financial information.

Although concerns have been raised in the marketplace recently about the health of municipal bonds, the Company has not experienced any significant credit troubles in this portfolio and does not believe any credit troubles are imminent with respect to its portfolio. Aside from the non-rated municipal securities to local municipalities discussed above that are considered held-to-maturity, all of the Company’s available-for-sale municipal bonds are investment-grade government obligation (“G.O.”) bonds. G.O. bonds are generally considered safer than revenue bonds because they are backed by the full faith and credit of the government while revenue bonds rely on the revenue produced by a particular project. All of the Company’s municipal bonds are issued by municipalities in New York State. To the Company’s knowledge, there has never been a default of a NY G.O. in the history of the state. The Company believes that its risk of loss on default of a G.O. municipal bond for the Company is relatively low. However, historical performance does not guarantee future performance.

Management has assessed the securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 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, and the financial condition of the issuer (primarily government or government-sponsored enterprises). In addition, management does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of 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.

The Company had not recorded any other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges as of June 30, 2014 and did not record any OTTI charges during 2013. Nevertheless, it remains possible that there could be deterioration in the asset quality of the securities portfolio in the future. The credit worthiness of the Company’s 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 Company’s securities portfolio going forward.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” Those provisions relate to financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and fair value disclosures related to financial assets and liabilities. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

There are three levels of inputs to fair value measurements:

Level 1, meaning the use of quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2, meaning the use of quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3, meaning the use of unobservable inputs.

Observable market data should be used when available.

The following table presents for each of the fair-value hierarchy levels as defined in this footnote, those financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Securities available for sale

Fair values for securities are determined using independent pricing services and market-participating brokers. The Company’s independent pricing service utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information for structured securities, cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the evaluated pricing applications apply information as applicable through processes, such as benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing, to prepare evaluations. In addition, model processes, such as the Option Adjusted Spread model, are used to assess interest rate impact and develop prepayment scenarios. The models and the process take into account market convention. For each asset class, a team of evaluators gathers information from market sources and integrates relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news into the evaluated pricing applications and models. The company’s service provider may occasionally determine that it does have not sufficient verifiable information to value a particular security. In these cases the Company will utilize valuations from another pricing service.

Management believes that it has a sufficient understanding of the third party service’s valuation models, assumptions and inputs used in determining the fair value of securities to enable management to maintain an appropriate system of internal control. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews changes in the market value of its security portfolio. Individual changes in valuations are reviewed for consistency with general interest rate movements and any known credit concerns for specific securities. Additionally, on an annual basis, the Company has its entire security portfolio priced by a second pricing service to determine consistency with another market evaluator. If, on the Company’s review or in comparing with another servicer, a material difference between pricing evaluations were to exist, the Company would submit an inquiry to the service provider regarding the data used to value a particular security. If the Company determines it has market information that would support a different valuation than the initial evaluation it can submit a challenge for a change to that security’s valuation. There were no material differences in valuations noted in the first and second quarter of 2014 or during fiscal year 2013.

Securities available for sale are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation provided by the third-party provider uses observable market data.

Mortgage servicing rights

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company obtains the fair value of the MSRs using a third-party pricing provider. The provider determines the fair value by discounting projected net servicing cash flows of the remaining servicing portfolio. The valuation model used by the provider considers market loan prepayment predictions and other economic factors which management considers to be significant unobservable inputs. The fair value of MSRs is mostly affected by changes in mortgage interest rates since rate changes cause the loan prepayment acceleration factors to increase or decrease. All assumptions are market driven. Management has a sufficient understanding of the third party service’s valuation models, assumptions and inputs used in determining the fair value of MSRs to enable management to maintain an appropriate system of internal control. Mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the valuation is model driven and primarily based on unobservable inputs.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value for mortgage servicing rights during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

Impaired loans

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. Each loan’s collateral has a unique appraisal and management’s discount of the value is based on factors unique to each impaired loan. The significant unobservable input in determining the fair value is management’s subjective discount on appraisals of the collateral securing the loan, which ranges from 10%-50%. 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 management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, estimated costs to sell, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business.

The Company has an appraisal policy in which appraisals are obtained upon a commercial loan being downgraded on the Company internal loan rating scale to a 5 (special mention) or a 6 (substandard) depending on the amount of the loan, the type of loan and the type of collateral. All impaired commercial loans are either graded a 6 or 7 on the internal loan rating scale. For consumer loans, the Company obtains appraisals when a loan becomes 90 days past due or is determined to be impaired, whichever occurs first. Subsequent to the downgrade or reaching 90 days past due, if the loan remains outstanding and impaired for at least one year more, management may require another follow-up appraisal. Between receipts of updated appraisals, if necessary, management may perform an internal valuation based on any known changing conditions in the marketplace such as sales of similar properties, a change in the condition of the collateral, or feedback from local appraisers. Impaired loans had a gross value of $17.3 million, with a valuation allowance of $0.6 million, at June 30, 2014, compared to a gross value for impaired loans of $18.9 million, with a valuation allowance of $1.5 million, at December 31, 2013.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, including those that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis, were as follows:

Table of Contents

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical 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.

FHLB and FRB stock. The carrying value of FHLB and FRB stock approximate fair value.

Securities held to maturity. 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 Company’s market area. The original terms are negotiated directly and on an individual basis consistent with our loan and credit guidelines. 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. This fair value calculation is not necessarily indicative of the exit price, as defined in ASC 820.

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.

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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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 fees collected for these commitments are recorded as “unearned commitment fees” in Other Liabilities. The carrying value approximates the fair value.

Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase. The fair value of the securities sold under agreement to repurchase approximates its carrying value.

Other Borrowed Funds. 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 Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

The Bank sells certain fixed rate residential mortgages to FNMA, while maintaining the servicing rights for those mortgages. In the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the Bank sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $3.4 million, as compared with no mortgages sold to FNMA in the three month period ended June 30, 2013. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Bank sold $3.4 million and $0.8 million in mortgages, respectively, to FNMA. At June 30, 2014, the Bank had a loan servicing portfolio principal balance of $63.8 million upon which it earns servicing fees, as compared with $63.5 million at December 31, 2013. The value of the mortgage servicing rights for that portfolio was $0.5 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014, there were $0.2 million in residential mortgage loans held-for-sale, compared with no residential mortgages held for sale at December 31, 2013. The Company had no commercial loans held-for-sale at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. The Company has never been contacted by FNMA to repurchase any loans due to improper documentation or fraud.

As noted in Note 1, these 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, 2013. Disclosures related to the basis for accounting for loans and leases, the method for recognizing interest income on loans and leases, the policy for placing loans and leases on nonaccrual status and the subsequent recording of payments and resuming accrual of interest, the policy for determining past due status, a description of the Company’s accounting policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan and lease losses, the policy for charging off loans and leases, the accounting policies for impaired loans, and more descriptive information on the Company’s credit risk ratings are all contained in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Unless otherwise noted in this Form 10-Q, the policies and methodology described in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2013 are consistent with those utilized by the Company in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Bank monitors the credit risk in its loan portfolio by reviewing certain credit quality indicators (“CQI”). The primary CQI for its commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) portfolios is the individual loan’s credit risk rating. The following list provides a description of the credit risk ratings that are used internally by the Bank when assessing the adequacy of its allowance for loan and lease losses:

Table of Contents

1-3-Pass

4-Watch

5-O.A.E.M. (Other Assets Especially Mentioned) or Special Mention

6-Substandard

7-Doubtful

8-Loss

The Company’s consumer loans, including residential mortgages and home equities, and commercial leases are not individually risk rated or reviewed in the Company’s loan review process. Consumers are not required to provide the Company with updated financial information as is a commercial customer. Consumer loans also carry smaller balances. Given the lack of updated information since the initial underwriting of the loan and small size of individual loans, the Company uses delinquency status as the credit quality indicator for consumer loans.

The following tables provide data, at the class level, of credit quality indicators of certain loans and leases for the dates specified:

Troubled debt restructurings

The Company had $14.1 million in loans and leases that were restructured in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) at June 30, 2014, compared with $17.1 million at December 31, 2013. $2.2 million and $12.0 million of those balances were in non-accrual status at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The decrease was a result of repayment performance of one large commercial real estate relationship since December 31, 2013. Any TDR that is placed on non-accrual is not reverted back to accruing status until the borrower makes timely payments as contracted for at least six months and future collection under the revised terms is probable. All of the Company’s restructurings were allowed in an effort to maximize its ability to collect on loans and leases where borrowers were experiencing financial difficulty. The Company did not engage in any re-modifications during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The reserve for a TDR is based upon the present value of the future expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective rate or upon the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell, if the loan is deemed collateral dependent. This reserve methodology is used because all TDR loans are considered impaired. As of June 30, 2014, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing on loans or leases whose terms have been modified in TDRs.

The following tables summarize the loans and leases that were classified as troubled debt restructurings as of the dates indicated:

The Company’s TDRs have various agreements that involve deferral of principal payments, or interest-only payments, for a period (usually 12 months or less) to allow the customer time to improve cash flow or sell the property. Other common types of concessions leading to the designation of a TDR are lines of credit that are termed out and extensions of maturities at rates that are less than market given the risk profile of the borrower.

The following table shows the data for TDR activity by type of concession granted to the borrower for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

The general practice of the Bank 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 cannot meet the terms of a TDR and the loan or lease is determined to be uncollectible, the loan or lease will be charged off. The following table presents loans and leases which were classified as TDRs during the previous 12 months which defaulted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

5. PER SHARE DATA

The common stock per share information is based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company had an average of 81,752 and 81,475 dilutive shares outstanding, respectively. The Company had an average of 40,009 and 37,696 dilutive shares outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2014, there was an average of 40,060 anti-dilutive shares outstanding that were not included in calculating diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. There were 45,951 and 84,466 potentially anti-dilutive shares outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

6. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

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 Bank’s commitments and contingent liabilities is as follows:




	June 30,		December 31,
	2014		2013
	(in thousands)

Commitments to extend credit	$	256,954	$	176,964

Standby letters of credit		1,568		2,664

Total	$	258,522	$	179,628

Table of Contents

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit include some exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer. The Bank’s credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded on the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because they may expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent cash requirements of the Bank. The Bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments and did not record a reserve for its commitments during the first three and six months of 2014 or during 2013.

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, are 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 noted in the Item 1 of Part II of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2014, the Company was engaged by the Office of the Attorney General for the State of New York (“NYAG”) regarding a nonpublic investigation it is conducting. The Company has accrued an estimated liability relating to the NYAG investigation totaling $1.0 million at June 30, 2014. At this time, a range of loss could not be made, and management believes the $1.0 million accrual is the best estimate of probable loss.

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 have not accrued any additional benefits since then. As a result, service cost is no longer incurred.

The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing prior service cost and unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual expense 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 Bank also maintains a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan covering certain members of the Company’s senior management. The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual expense and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortization method the Bank uses recognizes the net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees.

The Bank did not contribute to the defined benefit pension plan in the first six months of 2014 but plans to contribute $110 thousand before the end of the year.

The following table presents the net periodic cost for the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan and supplemental executive retirement plan for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-04, Reclassification of Collateralized Mortgage Loans upon a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The objective of this proposed ASU is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, such that all or a portion of the loan should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The main provisions would also require additional disclosures regarding the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investments of consumer mortgage loans that are in the process of foreclosure at each interim and annual reporting period. This ASU becomes effective for the Company in fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company has not early adopted this guidance and does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The objective of this proposed ASU is to require entities to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The standard allows an entity to apply the amendments in the ASU using either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this report, or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company’s business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies, statements regarding the asset quality of the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, and estimates of the Company’s risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: general economic conditions, either nationally or in the Company’s market areas, that are worse than expected; increased competition among depository or other financial institutions; inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce the Company’s margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; changes in laws or government regulations affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees, monetary policy, and capital requirements; the Company’s ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired entities; changes in accounting pronouncements and practices, as adopted by financial institution regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; changes in the Company’s organization, compensation and benefit plans; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC, in particular the “Risk Factors” discussed in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s control and are difficult to predict.

Because of these and other uncertainties, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking information, whether as a result of new, updated information, future events or otherwise.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements 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 Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments, and as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily through the use of internal cash flow modeling techniques. Refer to Note 3 – “Fair Value Measurements” to the Company’s 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 year ended December 31, 2013. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other Notes to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are presented in the Company’s 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.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses in the Company’s loan and lease portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment on the part of management and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans and leases, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans and leases based on historical loss experience and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan and lease portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Note 1 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan and lease losses.

Goodwill

The amount of goodwill reflected in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements is required to be tested by management for impairment on at least an annual basis. The test for impairment of goodwill on the identified reporting unit is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires judgment on the part of management and the use of estimates related to the growth assumptions and market multiples used in the valuation model. The goodwill impairment testing is typically performed annually as of December 31st. No impairment charges were incurred in the most recent test and the fair value of the tested reporting unit substantially exceeded its fair value. There were no triggering events in the six month period ended June 30, 2014 that resulted in an interim impairment test.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loan and Lease Activity

Total loans and leases grew to $663.4 million at June 30, 2014, a $2.7 million, or 0.4%, increase from total loans and leases of $660.7 million at March 31, 2014, and a $16.4 million, or 2.5%, increase from total loans and leases of $647.0 million at December 31, 2013.

Loans secured by real estate were $547.5 million at June 30, 2014 and at March 31, 2014, reflecting no quarter over quarter change in the outstanding balances of loans secured by real estate, however, reflecting an increase of $9.6 million, or 1.8%, in loans secured by real estate from $537.9 million at December 31, 2013. The Company’s commercial real estate portfolio has historically been the fastest growing part of the real estate portfolio, however, the growth in the real estate portfolio during the second quarter of 2014 was muted by large pay-offs experienced in the current quarter in the commercial and multi-family portfolio. As of June 30, 2014, commercial construction loans of $31.2 million increased $3.4 million, or 12.4%, since March 31, 2014, and $7.3 million, or 30.5% since December 31, 2013.

The Company sold more residential mortgages originated during the second quarter of 2014 than during the first quarter of 2014. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company sold approximately 43.5% of the residential mortgages originated during that quarter to FNMA, as compared with approximately 8.7% of the residential mortgages originated during the first quarter of 2014. Residential mortgages increased to $97.2 million at June 30, 2014, a $0.7 million, or 0.8%, increase from $96.4 million at March 31, 2014, and a $3.1 million, or 3.3%, increase from December 31, 2013. However, residential mortgage originations decreased to $7.8 million and $13.5 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared with $9.7 million and $18.2 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.

The Bank sells certain fixed rate residential mortgages to FNMA, while maintaining the servicing rights for those mortgages. In the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the Bank sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $3.4 million, as compared with no mortgages sold to FNMA in the three month period ended June 30, 2013. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Bank sold $3.4 million and $0.8 million in mortgages, respectively, to FNMA, reflecting the Company’s strategy to sell more loans in the current rate environment. At June 30, 2014, the Bank had a loan servicing portfolio principal balance of $63.8 million upon which it earns servicing fees, as compared with $63.5 million at December 31, 2013. The value of the mortgage servicing rights for that portfolio was $0.5 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014, there were $0.2 million in residential mortgage loans held-for-sale, compared with no residential mortgages held for sale at December 31, 2013. The Company had no commercial loans held-for-sale at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. The Company has never been contacted by FNMA to repurchase any loans due to improper documentation or fraud.

The Company continues to focus on diversified growth with commercial and industrial (“C&I”) lending as a way to achieve such diversification in its loan portfolio. In the second quarter of 2014, C&I balances increased $0.5 million, or 0.5%, from $111.0 million at March 31, 2014 to $111.5 million at June 30, 2014. C&I loans increased $4.5 million, or 4.2%, from $107.0 million at December 31, 2013, due to utilization on existing lines and growth in the C&I portfolio.

Credit Quality of Loan Portfolio

Total non-performing loans and leases, defined as accruing loans and leases greater than 90 days past due and non-accrual loans and leases, totaled $5.4 million, or 0.82% of total loans and leases outstanding, as of June 30, 2014, compared with $5.2 million, or 0.79% of total loans and leases outstanding, as of March 31, 2014, and $13.7 million, or 2.12% of total loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2013. The decrease in non-performing loans and leases from December 31, 2013 was due to a commercial real estate loan that returned to accrual status in 2014 after a period of demonstrated repayment performance.

In the second quarter of 2014, commercial credits graded as “special mention” and “substandard” decreased $0.6 million from $31.7 million at March 31, 2014 and $0.8 million from $30.3 million at December 31, 2013 to $31.1 million at June 30, 2014, as a result loan pay-offs and risk rating upgrades and downgrades during the first six months of the year. As noted in Note 4 to these Unaudited Financial Statements, internal risk ratings are the credit quality indicators used by the Company’s management to determine the appropriate allowance for loan and lease losses for commercial credits. “Special mention” and “substandard” loans are weaker credits with a higher risk of loss than “pass” or “watch” credits.

The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $11.5 million, or 1.74% of total loans and leases outstanding as of June 30, 2014, compared with $11.7 million, or 1.78% of total loans and leases outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and $11.5 million, or 1.78% of total loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2013. The $0.2 million decrease in the allowance during the quarter was driven by a large decrease in the reserve held on a commercial loan that was paid off during the quarter. The net charge-off (recovery) ratio in the second quarter of 2014 increased to 0.24% of average net loans and leases, compared with a ratio of (0.05)% at March 31, 2014 and (0.15)% at December 31, 2013, driven by a single commercial loan relationship charge-off of $0.4 million in the current quarter.

The second quarter coverage ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to non-performing loans and leases was 212%, a slight decrease from 225% at March 31, 2014 but an increased from the fourth quarter of 2013 at 84%, due to the commercial mortgage credit relationship that was returned to accrual status in 2014, as discussed above.

Investing Activities

Total securities were $104.4 million at June 30, 2014, compared with $97.0 million at March 31, 2014 and $102.0 million at December 31, 2013. Interest-bearing deposits at other banks, which consist of overnight funds kept at correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve, decreased to $1.2 million at June 30, 2014 from $30.1 million at March 31, 2014 and from $27.3 million at December 31, 2013. Interest-bearing cash decreased in the second quarter due to utilization of excess cash position to fund loans, purchase securities, and pay down borrowings. Securities and interest-bearing deposits at correspondent banks made up 16.1% of the Bank’s total average interest earning assets in the second quarter of 2014, compared with 16.8% in the first quarter of 2014 and 18.7% in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The Company’s highest concentration in its securities portfolio was in available for sale tax-advantaged debt securities issued by state and political subdivisions with 30.6% at June 30, 2014, compared with 32.9% at March 31, 2014 and 31.2% at December 31, 2013. The concentration in U.S. government-sponsored agency bonds was 29.7% of the total securities portfolio at June 30, 2014, compared with 28.9% and 31.3% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities comprised 37.8% of the securities portfolio at June 30, 2014, compared with 35.7% and 35.1% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Management believes that the credit quality of the securities portfolio as a whole is strong as the portfolio has no individual securities in a significant unrealized loss position. Interest rates have been near historic lows and long-term rates have decreased in the first half of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, resulting in an increase in the net unrealized gain position of the available-for-sale investment portfolio to $1.6 million at June 30, 2014 from $0.9 million at March 31, 2014 and from $0.3 million at December 31, 2013.

The Company monitors extension and prepayment risk in the securities portfolio to limit potential exposures. Available-for-sale securities with a total fair value of $96.8 million at June 30, 2014, compared with $93.6 million at March 31, 2014 and $71.1 million at December 31, 2013, 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 June 30, 2014 were $707.2 million, compared with $721.9 million and $706.6 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $14.7 million, or 2.0%, from March 31, 2014, but a slight increase of $0.6 million, or 0.1%, from December 31, 2013. The increase in deposit balances during the first quarter of 2014 was driven by growth in municipal NOW products due to seasonality of tax collections received. Since March 31, 2014, municipal NOW and savings deposits decreased $17.5 million, or 29.9%, due to the seasonality of municipal deposits.

Table of Contents

The Company’s retail deposit growth vehicle for the last three years has been its complementary Better Checking and Better Savings products, which are included in the NOW and regular savings deposit categories, respectively, on the Company’s balance sheet. However, the growth in NOW and savings deposits slowed in 2013 as the Better Checking and Better Savings products begin to mature and the Company continued to lower rates on selected deposit products given the Company’s current excess liquidity and declining net interest margin in this extended low rate environment. Demand deposits, totaling $148.6 million and $132.8 million at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, drove much of the 2.1% year-over-year increase in total deposits mostly due to commercial demand deposit growth.

In the second quarter of 2014, time deposits decreased slightly to $108.2 million from $108.7 million and $110.1 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Time deposit rates remain low, resulting in recent balance declines, as customers have preferred liquid savings deposits.

Other borrowings, which typically include the Bank’s overnight line of credit and other advances with the FHLBNY, were $6.0 million at June 30, 2014, and $9.0 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company remains in an overall liquid position, and therefore has not needed to add to its wholesale borrowings.

Net Income

Net income was $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2014, down from $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to litigation expense of $1.0 million ($0.6 million after tax), or approximately $0.14 per share in the current quarter. Excluding the litigation expense, net income was $2.2 million, a 15.8% increase over second quarter 2013 of $1.9 million. The litigation accrual is related to New York Attorney General's allegations relating the Bank’s residential mortgage fair lending practices, as previously in the Company’s SEC filings. Although the Company has not incurred actual payments related to the investigation to date, the Company has recorded an accrual based on estimated outcomes from legal proceedings. As a result of the litigation accrual, return on average equity was 7.52% for the second quarter of 2014 compared with 9.86% in the second quarter of 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Evans recorded net income of $3.6 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, a 3.9% decrease from net income of $3.7 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, in the same period in 2013. The return on average equity was 8.74% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared with 9.71% for the same period in 2013, as a result of the litigation accrual recorded during the second quarter of 2014.

Other Results of Operations – Quarterly Comparison

Net interest income was $7.7 million for the second quarter, an increase of 9.7% from the prior-year period, and up 5.3% from the trailing first quarter of 2014. Growth in loans, specifically in the commercial and residential real estate portfolios, and non-interest bearing demand deposits drove the increase over both periods.

Net interest margin increased 19 basis points to 3.98% from 3.79% in the trailing first quarter, primarily driven by an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets. Net interest margin improved 30 basis points over the 2013 second quarter rate of 3.68%. The increase in net interest margin from the prior-year period was due to a 5 basis point decrease in pricing on Evans’ interest bearing liabilities, combined with a 25 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets due to utilization of lower interest-earning fed funds into higher yielding loans.

The provision for loan and lease losses was $0.2 million in the 2014 second quarter, up from $0.1 million in the prior-year period. When compared with the trailing first quarter of 2014, the provision increased by only $23 thousand due to offsetting changes in specific reserves held on individually evaluated loans.

Non-interest income was $3.1 million, or 28.4% of total revenue, in the quarter, down $0.2 million, or 5.0%, from the prior-year period. Insurance agency revenue of $1.6 million was down 8.1% from the 2013 second quarter, due mostly to decreases in profit sharing revenue.

Income tax expense for the quarter was $0.7 million, representing an effective tax rate of 29.2%, compared with an effective tax rate of 33.2% in the second quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate decreased as a result of tax-exempt income comprising a larger percentage of total income in the second quarter of 2014, as compared with the second quarter of 2013.

Other Results of Operations – Year-to-Date Comparison

Net interest income was $15.0 million for the first six months of 2014, up $1.2 million or 8.3% from the first six months of 2013. The increase in net interest income from prior year-to-date net interest income is attributed to a 13.7% decrease in interest expense related to lower rates on interest-bearing deposits.

The Company’s net interest margin increased by 23 basis points to 3.75% in the first six months of 2014, compared with 3.52% in the first six months of 2013. The Company’s average interest-earning assets increased by 2.0% when compared to prior year, and yields on those assets also increased 14 basis points when compared with the prior year period. The year over year increase in margin was also driven by a 9 basis point decrease interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 0.70% in the first six months of 2013 to 0.61% in the first six months of 2014.

Provision for loan and lease losses of $0.3 million decreased $0.2 million in the first six months of 2014 when compared with the first six months of 2013. The year-over-year decrease is attributed to a decrease in the reserve held on a commercial loan that was paid off during the quarter and an increase in leasing recoveries realized in 2014.

Non-interest income for the first six months of 2014 decreased $0.1 million or 1.2% from the prior year period to $6.4 million, representing 30.1% of total revenue for the first six months of 2014 compared with 32.1% of total revenue for the first six months of 2013. Income on the Company’s bank owned life insurance increased 22.4% in the first six months of 2014 compared with the prior year due to purchases made in the third quarter of 2013. Premiums on loans sold increased 62.6% year over year, as the Company has

begun to sell more loans to FNMA in the current year as compared with the prior year period. Bank charges decreased 6.4% in the first six months of 2014, compared with the prior year period. Insurance service and fees slightly decreased 0.2% in the first six months of 2014 compared with the first six months of 2013, driven by a $0.1 million decrease in profit-sharing income when compared with the prior year period.

Total non-interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 11.3%, in the first six months of 2014 from the first six months of 2013, mostly due to a $1.0 million litigation expense recorded in the second quarter, as discussed above. A $0.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and a $0.1 million increase advertising expense during the first six months of 2014 compared with the first six months of 2013 also contributed to the 11.3% increase in total non-interest expense, which was partially offset by a $0.1 decrease in occupancy expense and a $0.1 million decrease in technology and communication expense from the prior six-month period. The increase in salaries and employee benefits reflects merit increases for employees and increased costs in employee health insurance premiums and retirement benefits. The year over year decrease in occupancy expense was driven by a $0.1 million software impairment loss realized in 2013.

As a result, the Company’s efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2014 increased to 74.06% compared with 69.81% during the prior-year period. The unfavorable increase in the efficiency ratio was mostly due to the $1.0 million litigation expense incurred in 2014, which had the impact of increasing the efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2014 by 4.67%.

Income tax expense for the first six months ended June 30, 2014, was $1.6 million, representing an effective tax rate of 30.3%, compared with an effective tax rate of 31.9% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate decreased as a result of tax-exempt income comprising a larger percentage of total income in the first six months of 2014, as compared with the first six months of 2013.

CAPITAL

The Company consistently maintains regulatory capital ratios significantly above the federal “well capitalized” standard, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.04% and 10.36% at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Book value per share of the Company’s common stock was $19.84 at June 30, 2014, compared with $19.18 at December 31, 2013. Tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP measure) at June 30, 2014 was $17.90, compared with $17.26 at December 31, 2013. The increase in both book value and tangible book value per share is a result of the Company’s repurchase of shares in the first quarter.

Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company calculates tangible book value per share by dividing tangible book value by the number of common shares outstanding, as compared to GAAP book value per share, which the Company calculates by dividing GAAP book value by the number of common shares outstanding. Management believes that this information is consistent with treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. Accordingly, management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding the Company’s capital position and ratios. Further, management believes that presentation of this measure, together with the accompanying reconciliation, provides a complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business and allows investors to view the Company’s performance in a manner similar to management, the financial services industry, bank stock analysts and regulatory agencies. However, this non-GAAP financial measure is supplemental and is not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Note that other companies may use different calculations for this measure, and therefore the Company’s presentation of tangible book value per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Investors should review the Company’s consolidated financial statements in their entirety and should not rely on any single financial measure.

A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure, tangible book value per share, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, book value, is set forth in the following table:

On February 18, 2014, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.31 per share on the Company’s outstanding common stock. The dividend was paid on April 8, 2014 to shareholders of record as of March 18, 2014.

LIQUIDITY

The Bank utilizes cash flows from the investment portfolio and federal funds sold balances to manage the liquidity requirements related to loan demand and deposit fluctuations. The Bank also has many borrowing options. As a member of the FHLB the Bank is able to borrow funds at competitive rates. Advances of up to $178.8 million can be drawn on the FHLB via an Overnight Line of Credit Agreement between the Bank and the FHLB. An amount equal to 25% of the Bank’s total assets could be borrowed through the advance programs under certain qualifying circumstances. The Bank also has the ability to purchase up to $14.0 million in federal funds from its correspondent banks. By placing sufficient collateral in safekeeping at the Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank could borrow at the discount window. The Bank’s liquidity needs also can be met by more aggressively pursuing time deposits, or accessing the brokered time deposit market, including the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) network. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is dividends from the Bank. Additionally, the Company has access to capital markets as a funding source.

Cash flows from the Bank’s investment portfolio are laddered, so that securities mature at regular intervals, to provide funds from principal and interest payments at various times as liquidity needs may arise. Contractual maturities are also laddered, with consideration as to the volatility of market prices. At June 30, 2014, approximately 7.1% of the Bank’s securities had contractual maturity dates of one year or less and approximately 30.9% had maturity dates of five years or less.

Management, on an ongoing basis, closely monitors the Company’s 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 closings and investment purchases. At June 30, 2014, in the Company’s internal stress test, the Company had net short-term liquidity of $64.6 million as compared with $121.8 million at December 31, 2013, due to the usage of cash for loan growth. Available assets of $125.7 million, divided by public and purchased funds of $125.4 million, resulted in a long-term liquidity ratio of 100% at June 30, 2014, compared with 119% at December 31, 2013.

Management does not anticipate engaging in any activities, either currently or in 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 Company’s liquidity.

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 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and/or interest rates of the Bank’s financial instruments. The primary market risk the Company is exposed to is interest rate risk. The core banking activities of lending and deposit-taking expose the Bank to interest rate risk, which occurs when assets and liabilities reprice at different times and by different amounts as interest rates change. As a result, net interest income earned by the Bank is subject to the effects of changing interest rates. The Bank measures interest rate risk by calculating the variability of net interest income in future periods under various interest rate scenarios using projected balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management’s philosophy toward interest rate risk management is to limit the variability of net interest income to changes in net interest rates. The balances of financial instruments used in the projections are based on expected growth from forecasted business opportunities, anticipated prepayments of loans, and expected maturities of investment securities, loans and deposits. Management supplements the modeling technique described above with analysis of market values of the Bank’s financial instruments and changes to such market values given changes in the interest rates.

The Bank’s Asset-Liability Committee, which includes members of senior management, monitors the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity with the aid of a 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 reliance on other financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes.

The following table demonstrates the possible impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income over a 12-month period of time:

SENSITIVITY OF NET INTEREST INCOME TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES




	Calculated increase
	in projected annual net interest income
	(in thousands)

		June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Changes in interest rates

+200 basis points	$	310	$	789
+100 basis points		973		1,263

-100 basis points		NM		NM
-200 basis points		NM		NM

Many assumptions were utilized by management to calculate the impact that changes in interest rates may have on the Bank’s net interest income. The more significant assumptions related to the rate of prepayments of mortgage-related assets, loan and deposit volumes and pricing, and deposit maturities. The Bank assumed immediate changes in rates including 200 basis point rate changes. In the event that the 200 basis point rate changes cannot be achieved, the applicable rate changes are limited to lesser amounts such that interest rates cannot be less than zero. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the Bank cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ significantly due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes in market conditions and interest rate differentials (spreads) between maturity/repricing categories, as well as any actions such as those previously described, which management may take to counter such changes. In light of the uncertainties and assumptions associated with the process, the amounts presented in the table and changes in such amounts are not considered significant to the Bank’s projected net interest income.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2014 (the end of the period covered by this Report). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that as of June 30, 2014 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

No changes in the Company’s 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 June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The nature of the Company’s business generates a certain amount of litigation involving matters arising in the ordinary course of business.

Additionally, as previously reported, in January 2014, the Office of the Attorney General for the State of New York (the “NYAG”) formally confirmed to the Company that it had conducted a nonpublic investigation of certain residential mortgage lending practices, and was considering bringing an enforcement action against the Company and the Bank. The NYAG has sought our consent to the imposition of certain demands, including payment of a civil penalty and adoption of various measures affecting our prospective operations.

The Company and the Bank believe that they have meritorious defenses to the NYAG’s claims, deny any wrongdoing, and intend to defend against any allegations. However, the outcome of any formal action brought by the NYAG may not be assured. If a formal action brought by the NYAG is decided unfavorably to the Company and the Bank, we could be required to pay a civil penalty and make other expenditures. Despite management’s views of the merits of any litigation, or the reasonableness of our estimates and reserves, our financial statements could nonetheless be materially affected by an adverse judgment.

Under applicable accounting guidance, we accrue for litigation and claims where the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and a range of possible losses can be estimated. Accordingly, based on the advice of counsel and a management review of the existing facts and circumstances, we recorded a reserve relating to the NYAG investigation totaling $1 million at June 30, 2014. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we will reassess the potential liability related to this investigation and may revise this estimate.

In the opinion of management, there are no other proceedings pending to which the Company is a party or to which its property is subject, which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 2 – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In March 2013, the Company announced it had been authorized by its Board of Directors to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company did not purchase any shares under this program during the second quarter of 2014. However, in the second quarter of 2014, the Company purchased shares of its common stock as follows:

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities




Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased (1)		Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (2)	Maximum Number of Shares that may yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
April 2014:
April 1, 2014 - April 30, 2014		1,048	$	22.86	-	27,168
May 2014:
May 1, 2014 - May 31, 2014		-	$	-	-	27,168
June 2014:
June 1, 2014 - June 30, 2014		-	$	-	-	27,168

Total:		1,048	$	22.86	-	27,168

(1) The total shares purchased in the period consist of shares constructively tendered to the Company by attestation in satisfaction of the exercise price due upon exercise of options issued pursuant to the Company’s 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The “average price paid per share” reported in the table above, with respect to such shares, reflects the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the exercise date, which was the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the NYSE MKT on that date.

(2) On March 25, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The repurchase program has no fixed expiration date but may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company did not make any repurchases during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the program is 27,168 shares.
