MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INCLUDING FINANCIAL DATA EXHIBITS
(THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK)
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about the financial condition and results of operations of Chemung Financial Corporation. Reference should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements (including related notes) and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements included in this discussion and in future filings by Chemung Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in Chemung Financial Corporation press releases, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, which are not historical or current facts, are "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 wishes to caution 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 reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Description of Business
Chemung Financial Corporation (the "Corporation"), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the "Bank") and CFS Group, Inc. (a financial services company), provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary and other financial services within its local market areas.
The financial condition of the Corporation should be examined in terms of the acquisition and deployment of funds within its "market areas". Management defines the market areas of Chemung Canal Trust Company as those areas within a 25-mile radius of its branches in Chemung, Steuben, Schuyler, and Tioga counties, including the northern tier of Pennsylvania. The Corporation's lending policy restricts substantially all lending efforts to these geographical regions.
Critical Accounting Policies
Pursuant to recent SEC guidance, management of the Corporation is encouraged to evaluate and disclose those accounting policies that are judged to be critical policies - those most important to the portrayal of the Corporation's financial condition and results, and that require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and the material effect that such judgments can have on the Corporation's results of operations. See note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of the Corporation's policy with respect to estimating the level of the allowance for loan losses.
Management of Credit Risk - Loan Portfolio
The Corporation manages credit risk, while conforming to state and federal laws governing the making of loans, through written policies and procedures; loan review to identify loan problems at the earliest possible time; collection procedures (continued even after a loan is charged off); an adequate allowance for loan losses; and continuing education and training to ensure lending expertise. Diversification by loan product is maintained through offering commercial loans, 1-4 family mortgages, and a full range of consumer loans.
The Loan Committee of the Board is designated to receive required loan reports, oversee loan policy, and approve loans above authorized individual and Senior Loan Committee lending limits. The Senior Loan Committee, consisting of the president, two executive vice presidents, credit services division manager, commercial loan manager, consumer loan manager, mortgage loan manager and credit manager, implements the Board-approved loan policy.
Supervision and Regulation
The Corporation, as a financial holding company, is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"), and is subject to the supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). Generally, the Act limits the business of bank holding companies to banking, or managing or controlling banks, performing certain servicing activities for subsidiaries, and engaging in such other activities as the Federal Reserve Board may determine to be closely related to banking and a proper incident thereto.
The Bank is chartered under the laws of New York State and is supervised by the New York State Banking Department.
CFS Group, Inc. is subject to other regulatory authorities as determined by activities in which it may be engaged. For example, insurance activities are regulated by the New York State Insurance Department, while brokerage activities are subject to regulation by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).
Competition
The Corporation is subject to intense competition in the lending and deposit gathering aspects of its business from commercial and thrift banking institutions, credit unions and other providers of financial services, such as brokerage firms, investment companies, insurance companies and Internet vendors. The Corporation also competes with non-financial institutions, including retail stores and certain utilities that maintain their own credit programs, as well as governmental agencies that make available loans to certain borrowers. Unlike the Corporation, many of these competitors are not subject to regulation as extensive as that described under the "Supervision and Regulation" section and, as a result, they may have a competitive advantage over the Corporation in certain respects. This is particularly true of credit unions, as their pricing structure is not encumbered by income taxes.
Competition for the Corporation's fiduciary services comes primarily from brokerage firms and independent investment advisors. This is considered to be significant competition, as these firms devote much of their considerable resources toward gaining larger positions in these markets. The market value of trust assets under administration totaled $1.4 billion at year-end 2001. Relative to the Corporation's consolidated assets, the Trust and Investment Division is unusually large and is responsible for the largest component of non-interest revenue.
Employees
The Corporation and its subsidiaries had 315 full-time equivalent employees (FTE's) on December 31, 2001, versus 308 at the beginning of the year and 303 on December 31, 1999. The employment trend is relatively stable.
Consolidated Balance Sheet Comments
During 2001, total assets grew by $48.8 million or 7.2% to $725.1 million as compared to $676.2 million as of year-end 2000 and $653.6 million at year-end 1999. Total loans, net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs, grew by $29.2 million or 7.4% to $423.8 million. Commercial loan activity, while slowing in the fourth quarter, was strong throughout the first nine months of 2001, with business loans, including commercial mortgages, growing $29.9 million or 18.9% during the year. Residential mortgage activity was particularly strong during the second half of 2001, with balances increasing $8.5 million or 9.2% during the year. This increase can be traced to the lower interest rate environment, which not only encouraged purchase money mortgage financing, but also resulted in increased refinancing activity. Total consumer loans decreased $9.1 million or 6.3% in 2001, the major factor in this decline being a significant slowdown in indirect auto financing activity. This resulted in a $12.0 million or 14.0% decrease in installment loans, which was somewhat offset by a $2.8 million or 6.2% increase in home equity loans.
The carrying value of the total securities portfolio increased $17.0 million or 7.4% to $246.3 million. At amortized cost, the portfolio was up $14.5 million, the result of leveraged purchases during the year, as the Corporation purchased $30.0 million in federal agency bonds and mortgage-backed securities, funded with term repurchase agreements entered into with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. Unrealized appreciation related to the available for sale portfolio increased $2.5 million.
Other significant changes in assets included increases of $2.3 million and $1.2 million in cash and due from banks and premises and equipment, respectively. The $2.3 million increase in cash and due from banks is due primarily to higher period-end branch cash balances. The $1.2 million increase in premises and equipment was centered primarily in an $826 thousand investment for renovations and an addition to our Elmira Heights office, as well as $481 thousand for renovations to our Main office.
Primary funding sources for our asset growth during 2001 included increases in deposits, as well as, an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. In total, deposits increased $9.3 million or 1.8% from $511.4 million to $520.7 million. While period-end public funds deposits (primarily local municipal deposits) were down $21.1 million, all other personal and non-personal balances increased $30.4 million. Much of this growth, excluding public fund balances, was in personal and non-personal savings accounts, up $10.8 million or 13.2% from year-end 2000 to year-end 2001, and certificate of deposit balances (including IRA accounts), which increased $13.8 million or 7.6%. Personal and non-personal non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $7.0 million or 6.8%. The $30.1 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase relates to the additional leveraging during 2001, as additional term repurchase agreements were entered into with the Federal Home Loan Bank. Federal Home Loan Bank advances were up $4.2 million due to an increase in overnight advances under our line of credit.

Securities
The Board-approved Funds Management Policy includes an investment portfolio policy which requires that, except for local municipal obligations that are sometimes not rated or carry ratings above "Baa" but below "A" by Moody's or Standard & Poors, debt securities purchased for the bond portfolio must carry a minimum rating of "A". Marketable securities are classified asAvailable for Sale, while local direct investments in municipal obligations are classified asHeld to Maturity. TheAvailable for Sale portfolio at December 31, 2001 was $239.1 million compared to $222.7 million a year earlier and $227.4 million at the end of 1999. At year-end 2001, the total net unrealized appreciation in the securities available for sale portfolio was $8.548 million, compared to $6.069 million a year ago. This change is primarily reflective of the impact that lower market interest rates had on the fair value of the bond portfolio.
The components of this change are set forth in the following table (in thousands):

Included in the preceding table are 24,041 shares of USA Education, Inc. (formerly SLM Holding Corporation) at a cost basis of approximately $2 thousand and estimated fair value of $2.020 million. These shares were acquired as preferred shares of Student Loan Marketing Association ("SALLIE MAE"), a permitted exception to the Government regulation banning bank ownership of equity securities in the original capitalization of the U.S. Government Agency. Later, the shares were converted to common stock as SALLIE MAE recapitalized. Additionally, at December 31, 2001, the Corporation held marketable equities totaling $616 thousand at cost, with a total estimated fair value of $5.036 million. The shares, other than USA Education, Inc., were acquired prior to the enactment of the Banking Act of 1933.
Non-marketable equity securities included in the Corporation's portfolio are 10,700 shares of Federal Reserve Bank stock and 57,100 shares of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock. They are carried at their cost of $535.0 thousand and $5.710 million, respectively. The fair value of these securities is assumed to approximate their cost. The number of shares of these last two investments is regulated by regulatory policies of the respective institutions.
Asset Quality
Non-performing loans at year-end 2001 totaled $5.633 million as compared to $1.707 million at year-end 2000, an increase of $3.926 million. At year-end 1999, non-performing loans totaled $1.405 million. Non-performing loans represented 1.33% of total loans outstanding as of December 31, 2001 compared to 0.43% at the end of 2000 and 0.39% at year-end 1999. The increase in non-performing loans is reflective of the impact that a slumping economy throughout 2001 had on our commercial clients. Included in the total at year-end 2001 is one relationship totaling $3.480 million, which is greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest. This relationship is well collateralized, and we anticipate that the delinquency will be resolved in the very near future. Excluding this relationship, all other non-performing loans at year-end 2001 total $2.153 million, or 0.51% of total outstanding loans. Net loan charge offs were $731 thousand or 0.18% of average outstanding loans in 2001, compared to $707 thousand or 0.18% of average outstanding loans in 2000 and $517 thousand or 0.15% of average outstanding loans in 1999. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2001 was 1.20% of total outstandings versus 1.19% a year ago and 1.30% at December 31, 1999. In addition to impacting the level of the non-performing loans, the weakness of the economy has also had an impact on the level of internally classified credits, most notably reflected by a significant increase in loans classified as "special mention". Several large loans were added to this category during the second half of 2001, which essentially indicates that while the current credit risk may be relatively minor, there is potential for further weakening of the credit, especially given the weakness in the economy. A more moderate increase in loans classified as "substandard" is primarily due to the addition of one relationship, which was impacted significantly by the recession. In recognition of the increased inherent risk in the Corporation' s loan portfolio and the impact of the current economic environment on our borrowing clients, particularly our commercial customers, the Corporation increased its provision for loan losses in 2001 to $1.100 million as compared to the $750 thousand expensed during 2000. The Corporation anticipates that this higher level of provision may continue into 2002 if the various credit risk indicators noted above continue to show signs of increased inherent risk of loss.
Capital Resources and Dividends
The Corporation continues to maintain a strong capital position. Tangible shareholders' equity at December 31, 2001, was $74.7 million or 10.30% of total assets compared to $69.3 million or 10.24% of total assets a year earlier and $59.7 million or 9.13% at December 31, 1999. Major factors influencing this increase were an increase in undistributed earnings (net income less dividends declared) of $4.9 million and a $1.5 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the increase in net unrealized gains on available for sale securities. As of December 31, 2001, the Corporation's ratio of Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets was 16.87% compared with 17.31% a year earlier. The Corporation's leverage ratio (Tier I Capital/Average Assets) was 9.86% at December 31, 2001 and 9.91% at December 31, 2000.
Under Federal Reserve regulations (see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements), the Bank is limited to the amount it may loan to the Corporation, unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At December 31, 2001, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Corporation in the form of unsecured loans was $1.8 million. There were no such loans extended during 2001 and 2000, and none are anticipated during 2002. The Bank is subject to legal limitations on the amount of dividends that can be paid to the Corporation without prior regulatory approval. Dividends are limited to retained net profits, as defined by regulations, for the current year and the two preceding years. At December 31, 2001, $11.0 million was available for the declaration of dividends.
Cash dividends declared amounted to $3.584 million in 2001 versus $3.473 million in 2000 and $3.097 million in 1999. Dividends declared during 2001 amounted to 42.2% of net income compared to 39.7% and 36.9% of 2000 and 1999 net income, respectively. It is management's objective to continue generating sufficient capital internally, while retaining an adequate dividend payout ratio.
Treasury Shares
When shares of the Corporation become available in the market, we may purchase them after careful consideration of our capital position. On May 10, 2001, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares, or approximately 10% of its outstanding common shares, principally through open market transactions from time to time as market conditions warrant over a two-year period. During 2001, 97,275 shares were purchased at a total cost of $2.343 million or an average price of $24.09 per share. Of the total number of shares purchased during 2001, 45,639 were purchased subsequent to the announcement of the share repurchase program, leaving the Corporation the ability to repurchase approximately 354,000 shares as of December 31, 2001 under the current Board authorization. During 2000, 19,068 shares were purchased at a total cost of $397 thousand or an average price of $20.83 per share, and in 1999 there were 58,674 shares purchased at a tota l cost of $1.465 million (average of $24.96 per share).
Performance Summary
Consolidated net income for 2001 totaled $8.493 million versus $8.755 million in 2000, a decrease of $262 thousand (3.0%), or $2.10 per share versus $2.14 per share, down 1.9% on 43,467 fewer average shares outstanding. In 1999, the Corporation earned $8.392 million. Dividends declared totaled $0.90 per share versus $0.86 in 2000 and $0.76 in 1999.
Performance in 2001 was adversely impacted by a deteriorating economic environment, and the impact of this environment on our clients. In recognition of this, and after a thorough review of our loan portfolio, management decided to increase the provision for loan losses by $350 thousand in 2001, from $750 thousand to $1.1 million, with $300 thousand of this increase recognized in the fourth quarter. Additionally, during the fourth quarter, we recognized a $550 thousand write-down of an investment in a small business investment company limited partnership, Cephas Capital Partners, L.P. ("Cephas"). Our investment in Cephas at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 totaled $2.877 million and $2.351 million, respectively. Because the Corporation's percentage ownership in this partnership exceeds 20%, the equity method of accounting is utilized, such that the Corporation's percentage of the partnership's income is recognized as income on its investment; and likewise, any loss by the partnershi p is recognized as a loss on the Corporation's investment. During the fourth quarter of 2001, Cephas recognized a large loan loss, which resulted in the above write-down. While financing provided by Cephas has greater inherent risk than traditional bank financing, and could result in future write-downs if there are additional loan losses, there also exists the opportunity for greater returns than experienced through traditional bank lending. In total, the increase in the provision for loan losses and the investment write-down adversely impacted net income by approximately $544 thousand or $0.13 per share.
Aside from the above two factors, the Corporation experienced strong growth in average earning assets during the year, resulting in a $1.507 million or 5.8% increase in net interest income. Total interest and dividend income on earning assets was $49.122 million in 2001 compared to $47.978 million in 2000 and $44.177 million in 1999. This 2.4% increase in 2001 can be attributed to a $41.4 million or 6.7% increase in average earning assets, offset to some extent by a 31 basis point decrease in yield from 7.77% to 7.46%. The major factor related to the increase in average earning assets was a $33.6 million or 8.8% increase in average loans, which in 2001 comprised 63.2% of total average earning assets as compared to 62.0% a year ago. Additionally, increases in average securities and overnight investments totaled $3.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Total average funding liabilities during 2001 increased by $38.4 million or 6.5%. Total average deposits increased $18.5 million or 3.6%. Time deposits (inc luding IRA accounts) averaged $238.2 million during 2001, as compared to $227.5 million during 2000, an increase of $10.8 million or 4.7%. On average, insured money market accounts were up $6.9 million or 13.1% due primarily to higher average municipal deposits. Average term repurchase agreements and term borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $24.6 million, reflective of additional leveraging during 2001. The above were offset primarily by a $3.6 million decrease in average overnight borrowings through the Federal Home Loan Bank. Interest expense totaled $21.692 million in 2001 as compared to $22.055 million in 2000, and $18.728 million in 1999. The $363 thousand decrease in interest expense during 2001 is reflective of the declining interest rate environment throughout the year. While average funding liabilities increased $38.4 million, the cost of these funds, including the effect of non-interest bearing funding sources (such as demand deposits), decreased to 3.44% during 2001 versus 3.72% a nd 3.30% during 2000 and 1999, respectively. The above yields and costs resulted in a net interest margin in 2001 of 4.16%, compared to 4.20% in 2000 and 4.30% in 1999.
Non-interest income increased $175 thousand to $10.207 million, up 1.7% over 2000. The total increase was adversely impacted by the above mentioned write-down of an equity investment in Cephas Capital Partners, L.P.. Excluding the impact of that transaction, all other non-interest income was up $725 thousand or 7.2%. Net gains on the sales of securities were up $275 thousand. The interest rate environment during 2001 provided opportunities to realize $491 thousand in pre-tax net gains during the year without a significant sacrifice in yield. Other areas where we saw significant increases included credit card merchant earnings (+ $287 thousand), service charges (+ $125 thousand), checkcard interchange income (+ $106 thousand) and cash management fee income (+ $109 thousand). Trust and Investment Services income, the largest component of non-interest income, was down $262 thousand to $4.537 million. Much of the revenue from this area is based upon asset market values, and this reduction in fee income is reflec tive of the impact of the general market decline experienced during 2001.
Non-interest expenses increased $1.596 million (7.1%) to $24.052 million. Non-interest expenses for 2000 were $22.456 million compared to $21.631 million in 1999. The area having the most significant impact on the 2001 increase was salaries and benefits, which in 2001 rose $1.094 million or 10.2%. Salaries and wages were up $598 thousand or 7.0% reflective of a higher number of employees throughout the year. Pension and other employee benefits increased $496 thousand or 22.9%, the most significant factors being a $419 thousand reduction in the net periodic pension credit, as well as increases in health insurance and post-retirement medical expenses of $65 thousand and $50 thousand, respectively. In addition to the above, credit card and merchant processing expenses increased $431 thousand, primarily related to an increased volume in merchant deposit activity.
The non-interest expense increase was also impacted by start-up expenses associated with CFS Group, Inc., which commenced operations in September of 2001. Expenses of this subsidiary, relating primarily to staffing, training and other start-up costs, totaled $100 thousand for the year. This subsidiary, which offers a wide array of uninsured financial services including mutual funds, brokerage services, annuity and other insurance products, is expected to provide an important future source of non-interest income growth.
While income before income tax expense decreased $264 thousand, income tax expense in 2001 decreased only $2 thousand to $3.992 million, or an effective tax rate of 32.0% as compared to 31.3% in 2000. The increase in the effective tax rate relates to a lower level of tax-exempt income in 2001, as well as the fact that in 2000 we received a $100 thousand New York State tax credit related to a $400 thousand investment in Statewide Zone Capital Corporation of New York.

Exhibit IV CHANGES DUE TO VOLUME AND RATE
The following table demonstrates the impact on net interest income of the changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in rates earned and paid by the Corporation. For purposes of constructing this table, average investment securities are at average amortized cost and earning asset averages include non-performing loans. Therefore, the impact of changing levels of non-performing loans is reflected in the change due to rate, but does not affect changes due to volume. No tax equivalent adjustments were made.

Consolidated Cash Flows
During 2001, cash and cash equivalents increased $2.217 million as compared to a decrease of $3.909 million in 2000 and a $3.253 million increase in 1999. In addition to cash provided by operating activities, other primary sources of cash in 2001 included proceeds from the sales and maturities of securities and student loans ($153.450 million), a net increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase ($30.050 million), an increase in deposits ($9.299 million) and an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, net of repayments ($4.200 million). In 2000, the primary sources of cash included proceeds from the sales and maturities of securities and student loans ($58.695 million) and an increase in deposits ($29.614 million). The substantial increase in proceeds from the sales and maturities of securities and student loans is due in large part to a lower interest rate environment which resulted in $83.5 million of federal agency bonds being called during 2001, as well as an accel eration of mortgage-backed securities paydowns. The 2001 increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase is the result of additional leveraging during 2001.
Cash generated from the above activities was used primarily to fund increases in earning assets. During 2001, the purchases of securities and the funding of loans, net of repayments, totaled $163.999 million and $33.276 million, respectively. Other significant uses of cash in 2001 included purchases of premises and equipment ($2.727 million), payment of cash dividends ($3.559 million), and the purchase of treasury shares ($2.343 million). In 2000, the purchases of securities and funding of loans, net of repayments, totaled $42.679 million and $38.105 million, respectively. Other significant uses of cash in 2000 included repayments of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, net of new advances ($16.300 million), purchases of premises and equipment ($2.985 million), payment of cash dividends ($3.436 million), and the purchase of treasury shares ($397 thousand).
Liquidity and Sensitivity
The term "liquidity" refers primarily to the expected cash flows from assets held and secondarily to borrowings secured by assets of the Corporation. These two sources of liquidity have in the past been sufficient to fund the operations of the Corporation, and the Board of Directors anticipates that they will suffice in the future. For this reason, the term "liquidity" in the Corporation's policies does not refer to proceeds from the sale of assets, although the sale of assets held as available for sale is a source of liquidity available to management.
Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of deposit customers, borrowers, and the operating, investing, and financing activities of the Corporation. Management of interest rate sensitivity seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest rates.
As intermediaries between borrowers and savers, commercial banks incur both interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) has the strategic responsibility for setting the policy guidelines on acceptable exposure to these areas. These guidelines contain specific measures and limits regarding these risks, which are monitored on a regular basis. The ALCO is made up of the president, two executive vice presidents, asset liability management officer, senior lending officer, senior marketing officer, chief financial officer, and others representing key functions.
The Corporation is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") in order to access borrowings which enhance management's ability to satisfy future liquidity needs. The Corporation maintained a $73.197 million line of credit at December 31, 2001. This compares to $66.543 million at the end of 2000.
Interest rate risk is the risk that net interest income will fluctuate as a result of a change in interest rates. It is the assumption of interest rate risk, along with credit risk, that drives the net interest margin of a financial institution. For that reason, the ALCO has established tolerance limits based upon a 200-basis point change in interest rates. At December 31, 2001, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact net interest income by 13.5% and an immediate 200-basis point increase would negatively impact net interest income by 1.4%. The risk to declining interest rates is slightly over the allowable tolerance of 12.0% established by ALCO. Management attributes this to the overall low level of current interest rates and corresponding large percentage decrease that results when an immediate 200-basis point shock is modeled. Also, the nature of the Corporation's callable US agency portfolio, as well as potential prepayments in the mortgage- backed securities portfolio and mortgage loan portfolio, results in less interest income in periods of declining interest rates, as called bonds and increased prepayments result in higher levels of repricing of assets at lower rates. Although currently outside of the policy guideline, management is comfortable with this exposure, as an immediate decrease in interest rates across the yield curve is unlikely at this time.
A related component of interest rate risk is the expectation that the market value of our capital account will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. This component is a direct corollary to the earnings-impact component: an institution exposed to earnings erosion is also exposed to shrinkage in market value. At December 31, 2001, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would negatively impact the market value of our capital account by 13.6% and an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the market value by 3.9%. Both are within the established tolerance limit of 15.0%.
Management does recognize the need for certain hedging strategies during periods of anticipated higher fluctuations in interest rates and the Board-approved Funds Management Policy provides for limited use of certain derivatives in asset liability management. These strategies were not employed during 2001.
The ALCO is responsible for supervising the preparation and annual revisions of the financial segments of the Annual Budget, which is built upon the committee's economic and interest-rate assumptions. It is the responsibility of the ALCO to modify prudently the Corporation's asset/liability policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes comprehensive accounting and reporting requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Statement requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, with the instruments measured at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative and the type of risk being hedged. This Statement, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138, was effective for the Corporation as of January 1, 2001. Based on management's evaluation of SFAS No. 133, the adoption of this Statement did not have any impact on the Corporation's consolida ted financial statements, as the Corporation did not have any derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, as of January 1, 2001, or at any time during the year-ended December 31, 2001.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 supercedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 16, "Business Combinations," and 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. 141 did not change many of the provisions of APB No. 16 related to the application of the purchase method. However, SFAS No. 141 does specify criteria for recognizing intangible assets separate from goodwill and requires additional disclosures regarding business combinations. SFAS No. 141 is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
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 would not be amortized, but would be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis based upon guidelines specified in the Statement. SFAS No. 142 currently excludes from its scope unidentifiable intangible assets recorded under SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions." The FASB has announced that additional research will be performed to decide whether unidentifiable intangible assets recorded under SFAS No. 72 should be accounted for similarly to goodwill under SFAS No. 142. However, issuance of a final Statement with respect to this matter is not expected until the fourth quarter of 2002.
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be evaluated for impairment no later than December 31, 2002, and annually thereafter. The Corporation expects that the results of the impairment test will conclude that the carrying value of its goodwill is not impaired as of December 31, 2001.
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 will no longer amortize this goodwill subsequent to December 31, 2001, which will reduce non-interest expenses by $189,583 in 2002, as compared to 2001.
At December 31, 2001, the Corporation also has an intangible asset of approximately $2,949,754 related to the acquisition of deposits from the Resolution Trust Company in 1994. This intangible asset is currently excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 142. The amortization expense related to this intangible asset totaled $397,719 for the year ended December 31, 2001. As noted above, while the FASB is reconsidering the exclusion of this type of intangible asset from the scope of SFAS No. 142, at the present time this intangible asset will continue to be amortized.

CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Chemung Financial Corporation (the Corporation), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the Bank) and CFS Group, Inc., provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary and other financial services to its local market area. The Corporation is subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
SECURITIES
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. If management has the intent and the Corporation has the ability at the time of purchase to hold securities until maturity, they are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time or not intended to be held to maturity are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as available for sale are excluded from earnings and are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity, net of the related tax effects, until realized. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method.
Non-marketable equity securities are classified with securities available for sale. Non-marketable equity securities owned by the Corporation at December 31, 2001 and 2000 include Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) stock and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock, which are carried at cost since there is no readily available market price for these securities.
A decline in the fair value of any available for sale or held to maturity security below amortized cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment of yield using the interest method. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned.
LOANS
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal balance less unearned discounts and net deferred origination fees and costs. The Corporation has the ability and intent to hold its loans for the foreseeable future, except for student loans, which are sold to a third party from time to time upon reaching repayment status.
Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations on the interest method. The accrual of interest is discontinued and previously accrued interest is reversed when commercial loans become 90 days delinquent and, when consumer, mortgage and home equity loans, which are not guaranteed by government agencies, become 120 days delinquent. Loans may also be placed on non-accrual status if management believes such classification is warranted for other purposes. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield, using the interest method.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for probable loan losses. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and recoveries of loans previously charged off, and reduced by loan charge-offs. The adequacy of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the inherent risk of loss in the loan portfolio, which includes consideration of prevailing economic conditions, past loss experience, the level of non-performing loans, delinquency levels and other factors pertinent to estimating losses inherent in the portfolio. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in New York State. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation's allowance for lo an losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Management, considering current information and events regarding the borrower's ability to repay their obligations, considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of collateral, less the estimated costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent. Residential mortgage loans and consumer loans are evaluated collectively since they are homogeneous and generally carry smaller balances. All loans restructured in a troubled debt restructuring are also considered impaired loans. In general, interest income on impaired loans is recorded on a cash basis when collection in full is reasonably expected. If full collection is uncertain, cash receipts are applied first to principal, then to interest income.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Land is carried at cost, while buildings, equipment and furniture are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is charged to current operations under accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 15 to 50 years for buildings and from 3 to 10 years for equipment and furniture. Amortization of leasehold improvements and leased equipment is recognized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated life of the asset.
OTHER REAL ESTATE
Real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at the lower of the carrying value of the loan or estimated fair value of the property less estimated costs to dispose at the time of acquisition. Write downs from the carrying value of the loan to estimated fair value which are required at the time of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to acquisition, other real estate is carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to dispose. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values of such properties resulting from declines in fair value are charged to operations in the period in which the declines occur. Other real estate owned at December 31, 2001, amounted to $82,035 and at December 31, 2000, amounted to $61,693.
INCOME TAXES
The Corporation files a consolidated tax return on the accrual method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for unused tax carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled, or the tax carryforwards are expected to be utilized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
TRUST AND INVESTMENT SERVICES INCOME
Assets held in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, since such assets are not assets of the Corporation. Trust and Investment Services income is recognized on the accrual method based on contractual rates applied to the balances of individual trust accounts. The market value of trust assets under administration totaled $1.375 billion at December 31, 2001, and $1.519 billion at December 31, 2000.
PENSION PLAN
Pension costs, based on actuarial computations of current and future benefits for employees, are charged to current operating results. The Corporation's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet minimum regulatory funding requirements, plus such additional amounts as the Corporation may determine to be appropriate from time to time.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Corporation provides health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. The estimated costs of providing benefits are accrued over the years the employees render services necessary to earn those benefits.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in 1994, was being amortized over 15 years on a straight-line basis through December 31, 2001. Deposit base intangible, resulting from the Corporation's purchase of deposits from the Resolution Trust Company in 1994, is being amortized over the expected useful life of 15 years on a straight-line basis. See "RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS" for further information regarding the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to December 31, 2001.
BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share was computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, retroactively adjusted for stock splits and dividends. 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.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions, federal funds sold, and U.S. Treasury securities with original terms to maturity of 90 days or less.
SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE
The Corporation enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase. The agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of the securities underlying the agreements continue to be carried in the Corporation's securities portfolio. The Corporation has agreed to repurchase securities identical to those sold. The securities underlying the agreements are under the Corporation's control.
OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation is a party to certain other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk such as commitments under standby letters of credit, unused portions of lines of credit and commitments to fund new loans. The Corporation's policy is to record such instruments when funded.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income at 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 years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 was $10,010,478, $12,702,930, and $2,693,648, respectively. The following summarizes the components of other comprehensive income (loss):

Management makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on an ongoing review of the Corporation's commercial banking operations, which constitute the Corporation's only reportable segment.
RECLASSIFICATION
Amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform with the current year's presentation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes comprehensive accounting and reporting requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Statement requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, with the instruments measured at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative and the type of risk being hedged. This Statement, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138, was effective for the Corporation as of January 1, 2001. Based on management's evaluation of SFAS No. 133, the adoption of this Statement did not have any impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements, as the Co rporation did not have any derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, as of January 1, 2001, or at any time during the year ended December 31, 2001.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 supercedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 16, "Business Combinations," and 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. 141 did not change many of the provisions of APB No. 16 related to the application of the purchase method. However, SFAS No. 141 does specify criteria for recognizing intangible assets separate from goodwill and requires additional disclosures regarding business combinations. SFAS No. 141 is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
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 would not be amortized, but would be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis based upon guidelines specified in the Statement. SFAS No. 142 currently excludes from its scope unidentifiable intangible assets recorded under SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions." The FASB has announced that additional research will be performed to decide whether unidentifiable intangible assets recorded under SFAS No. 72 should be accounted for similarly to goodwill under SFAS No. 142. However, issuance of a final Statement with respect to this matter is not expected until the fourth quarter of 2002.
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be evaluated for impairment no later than December 31, 2002, and annually thereafter. The Corporation expects that the results of the impairment test will conclude that the carrying value of its goodwill is not impaired as of December 31, 2001.
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 will no longer amortize this goodwill subsequent to December 31, 2001, which will reduce non-interest expenses by $189,583 in 2002, as compared to 2001.
At December 31, 2001, the Corporation also has an intangible asset of approximately $2,949,754 related to the acquisition of deposits from the Resolution Trust Company in 1994. This intangible asset is currently excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 142. The amortization expense related to this intangible asset totaled $397,719 for the year ended December 31, 2001. As noted above, while the FASB is reconsidering the exclusion of this type of intangible asset from the scope of SFAS No. 142, at the present time this intangible asset will continue to be amortized.
(2) RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANK ACCOUNTS

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or the existence of sufficient taxable income within the loss carryback period. A valuation allowance is recognized when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers the scheduled reversal of the deferred tax liabilities, the level of historical taxable income and projected future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets will be deductible. Based on its assessment, management determined that no valuation allowance is necessary.
(10) PENSION PLAN AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. The plan's defined benefit formula generally bases payments to retired employees upon their length of service multiplied by a percentage of the average monthly pay over the last five years of employment.
The following table presents (1) changes in the plan's projected benefit obligation and plan assets, and (2) the plan's funded status reconciled with amounts recognized in the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 and 2000:

Net periodic pension income in 2001, 2000 and 1999 is comprised of the following:
| 2001 | 2000 | 1999 |
Service cost, benefits earned during the year | $ 343,187 | 297,927 | 320,308 |

Net periodic pension income | $( 194,724) | (613,645) | (403,340) |
The principal actuarial assumptions used in determining the projected benefit obligation as of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:
| 2001 | 2000 | 1999 |
Discount rate | 7.00% | 7.50% | 8.00% |
Expected long-term rate of return on assets | 7.50% | 7.50% | 7.50% |
Assumed rate of future compensation increase | 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% |
The pension plan's assets at December 31, 2001 and 2000, are invested in common and preferred stocks, U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds and notes, and mutual funds.
The Corporation also sponsors a defined contribution profit sharing, savings and investment plan which covers all employees with a minimum of 1,000 hours of annual service. The Corporation makes discretionary profit sharing contributions to the plan based on the financial results of the Corporation. The Corporation also makes matching contributions at the rate of 50% of the first 6% of an eligible employee's current earnings contributed to the plan. Expense under the plan totaled $687,724, $681,193, and $620,279 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The plan's assets at December 31, 2001 and 2000, include 380,712 and 382,180 shares, respectively, of Chemung Financial Corporation common stock, as well as common and preferred stocks, U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds and notes, and mutual funds.
The Corporation sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that provides postretirement medical, dental and prescription drug benefits to full-time employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. Postretirement life insurance benefits are also provided to certain employees who retired prior to July 1981. The plan is contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contains other cost sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The accounting for the plan anticipates future cost-sharing changes to the written plan that are consistent with the Corporation's expressed intent to increase the retiree contribution rate annually for the expected general inflation rate for that year.
The following table presents (1) changes in the plan's accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and (2) the plan's funded status reconciled with amounts recognized in the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 and 2000:
Changes in accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: | 2001 | 2000 |
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at beginning of year | $ 2,440,417 | 2,543,000 |
Service cost | 25,000 | 23,000 |
Interest cost | 210,000 | 181,000 |
Participant contributions | 97,059 | 88,340 |
Actuarial loss (gain) | 607,741 | (74,829) |
Benefits paid | (310,545) | (320,094) |
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at end of year | $ 3,069,672 | 2,440,417 |
|
|
|
Accrued postretirement benefit cost: |
|
|
Unfunded postretirement benefit obligation end of year | $(3,069,672) | (2,440,417) |
Unrecognized prior service cost | 352,000 | 380,000 |
Unrecognized net actuarial loss | 722,410 | 133,669 |
Accrued postretirement benefit cost at end of year, included in other liabilities |
|
|
The components of net periodic post-retirement benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:
| 2001 | 2000 | 1999 |
Service cost | $ 25,000 | 23,000 | 42,000 |
Interest cost | 210,000 | 181,000 | 174,000 |
Net amortization and deferral | 47,000 | 28,000 | 22,000 |
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost | $ 282,000 | 232,000 | 238,000 |
The postretirement benefit obligation was determined using a discount rate of 7.00% for 2001 and 7.50% for 2000. The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation initially ranged from 8.0% to 8.5% in 2001, depending on the specific plan, and was decreased to a range of 5.0% to 5.5% in 2008 and thereafter, over the projected payout of benefits. The health care cost trend rate assumption can have a significant effect on the amounts reported. If the health care cost trend rate was increased one percent in each year, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2001, would have increased by 4.1%, and the aggregate of service and interest cost would have increased by 3.4%. If the health care cost trend rate was decreased one percent in each year, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2001, would have decreased by 3.7%, and the aggregate of service and interest cost would have decreased by 3.0%. Ho wever, the plan limits the increase in the Corporation's annual contributions to the plan for most participants to the increase in base compensation for active employees.
The Corporation also sponsors an Executive Supplemental Pension Plan for certain current and former executive officers to restore certain pension benefits that may be reduced due to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. The benefits under this plan are unfunded and as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the projected benefit obligation was $557,671 and $555,936, respectively. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Corporation had an accrued benefit liability of $327,014 and $262,777, respectively, related to this plan. The Corporation recorded an expense of $85,157, $62,989 and $44,138 related to this plan during 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
(11) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Members of the Board of Directors, certain Corporation officers, and their immediate families directly, or through entities in which they are principal owners (more than 10% interest), were customers of, and had loans and other transactions with, the Corporation in the ordinary course of business. All loans and commitments included as part of such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. These loans and commitments, which did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features, are summarized as follows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000:
| 2001 | 2000 |
Balance at beginning of year | $15,034,221 | $ 7,218,807 |
Additions | 25,833,686 | 85,567,181 |
Amounts collected | (24,700,933) | (77,751,767) |
Balance at end of year | $16,166,974 | $15,034,221 |
(12) EXPENSES
The following expenses, which exceeded 1% of total revenues (total interest income plus other operating income) in at least one of the years presented, are included in other operating expenses:
| 2001 | 2000 | 1999 |
Data processing services | $2,812,299 | 2,176,368 | 1,979,254 |
Advertising | 729,223 | 708,449 | 646,594 |
Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets | 587,303 | 587,302 | 587,303 |
(13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Commitments to outside parties under standby letters of credit, unused portions of lines of credit, and commitments to fund new loans totaled$2,289,691,$126,866,745 and $9,726,476, respectively, at December 31, 2001. Commitments to outside parties under standby letters of credit, unused portions of lines of credit, and commitments to fund new loans totaled$2,538,946, $121,482,176and $9,516,697, respectively, at December 31, 2000. Because many commitments and almost all standby letters of credit expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contract amounts are not estimates of future cash flows. Loan commitments and unused lines of credit have off-balance sheet credit risk because only origination fees are recognized on the consolidated balance s heet until commitments are fulfilled or expire. The credit risk amounts are equal to the contractual amounts, assuming the amounts are fully advanced and collateral or other security is of no value. The Corporation does not anticipate losses as a result of these transactions. These commitments also have off-balance sheet interest rate risk in that the interest rate at which these commitments were made may not be at market rates on the date the commitments are fulfilled.
At December 31, 2001, the Corporation had outstanding commitments totaling $111,375 to fund equity investments in Southern Tier Business Development, LLC.
The Corporation has employment contracts with certain of its senior officers, which expire at various dates through 2004 and may be extended on a year-to-year basis.
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding legal proceedings involving the Corporation or its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the aggregate amount involved in such proceedings is not material to the financial condition or results of operations of the Corporation.
(14) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Under Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is limited to the amount it may loan to the Corporation, unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At December 31, 2001, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Corporation in the form of unsecured loans was $1,786,985. The Bank is also subject to legal limitations on the amount of dividends that can be paid to the Corporation without prior regulatory approval. Dividends are limited to retained net profits, as defined by regulations, for the current year and the two preceding years. At December 31, 2001, approximately $11.0 million was available for the declaration of dividends from the Bank to the Corporation.

(16) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Short-Term Financial Instruments
For those short-term instruments that generally mature in ninety days or less, the carrying value approximates fair value.
Securities
Fair values for securities are based on either 1) quoted market prices, 2) dealer quotes, 3) a correspondent bank's pricing system, or 4) discounted cash flows to maturity. For certain securities, such as equity investments in the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank, and non-marketable obligations of political subdivisions, fair value is estimated to approximate amortized cost.
Loans Receivable
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently, fair values approximate carrying values. The fair values for other loans are estimated through discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality.
Deposits
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, savings accounts and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying values).
The fair value of certificates of deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of the weighted-average expected monthly maturities.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (Repurchase Agreements)
These instruments bear both variable and fixed rates of interest. Therefore, the carrying value approximates fair value for the variable rate instruments and the fair value of fixed rate instruments is based on discounted cash flows to maturity.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
These instruments bear a stated rate of interest to maturity and, therefore, the fair value is based on discounted cash flows to maturity.
Commitments to Extend Credit
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, the counter-party's credit standing and discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of these commitments to extend credit approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees and is not material at December 31, 2001 and 2000.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
For these short term instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value.
The estimated fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
| 2001 | 2000 | ||

(1) Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
(17) REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory -- and possibly additional discretionary -- actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (all as defined in the applicable regulations). Management believes that, as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Corporation and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.
As of December 31, 2001, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's or the Corporation's capital category.
The actual capital amounts and ratios of the Corporation and the Bank are presented in the following table:
