CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
Chemung Financial Corporation (the "Corporation"), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the "Bank") and CFS Group, Inc., a financial services company, provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary and other financial services to its local market area. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The data in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in the Corporation's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2006. That data, along with the other interim financial information presented in the consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, shareholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, contained in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Amounts in prior periods' consolidated interim financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.
The consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary to present fairly the Corporation's financial position as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.
2.Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by 3,648,170 and 3,696,235 weighted average shares outstanding for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively and 3,630,914 and 3,674,783 weighted average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Issuable shares (such as those related to directors' restricted stock units) are considered outstanding and are included in the computation of basic earnings per share. There were no dilutive common stock equivalents during the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 or 2005.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payments" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R revises SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25 and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R requires a company to recognize in its financial statements the cost of employee services received in exchange for valuable equity instruments issued, and liabilities incurred, to employees in share-based payment transactions (e.g., stock options). The cost will be based on the fair value of the award on the grant-date and will be recognized over the period for which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Adoption of the standard on January 1, 2006 had no effect on the Corporation's financial statements, as the Corporation has no stock option plans.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 permits companies to adjust for the cumulative effect of immaterial errors relating to prior years in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the current fiscal year, with an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. SAB 108 also requires the adjustment of any prior quarterly financial statements within the fiscal year of adoption for the effects of such errors on the quarters when the information is next presented. Such adjustments do not require previously filed reports with the SEC to be amended. The Corporation is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance at this time.
In September 2006, FASB released Financial Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48). This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute to determine whether a tax position will ultimately be sustained. The Corporation is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance at this time.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans". The standard calls for the balance sheet to fully recognize the funded status of a benefit plan, such as a pension plan. This newly issued standard applies for years ending after December 15, 2006 to employers with publicly traded equity securities. The Corporation is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance at this time.
4. Intangible Assets
The following table presents information relative to the Corporation's core deposit intangible ("CDI") related to the acquisition of deposits from the Resolution Trust Company in 1994:
At September 30, 2006 | At December 31, 2005 | |
Original core deposit intangible amount | $ 5,965,793 | $ 5,965,793 |
Less: Accumulated amortization | 4,905,207 | 4,606,916 |
Carrying amount | $ 1,060,586 | $ 1,358,877 |
Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 related to the CDI was $298,290. As of September 30, 2006, the remaining amortization period for the Corporation's CDI was approximately 2.7 years. The estimated amortization expense is $397,719 for each of the years ending December 31, 2006 through 2008, with $165,720 in aggregate amortization expense in 2009.
5. Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income or loss of the Corporation represents net income plus other comprehensive income or loss, which consists of the net change in unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale, net of the related tax effect. Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss represents the net unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale as of the consolidated balance sheet dates, net of the related tax effect.
Comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 was $4,142,643 and $5,318,431, respectively. Comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 was $863,401 and $3,873,513, respectively. The following summarizes the components of other comprehensive income (loss):

|

Total other comprehensive income (loss) | $ 88,150 | $(1,409,444) |
6. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of operations, the Corporation engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are not recorded in the financial statements. The Corporation is also a party to certain 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. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are generally used by the Corporation to manage clients' requests for funding and other client needs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Corporation engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

Postretirement Benefit Plans Other than Pensions
Effective July 1, 2006, all Medicare eligible retirees and spouses who live within the Central NY, geographic area may elect to continue to receive retiree medical benefits through a group sponsored plan with Blue Cross Blue Shield named Medicare Blue PPO. Blue Cross Blue Shield assumes full liability for the payment of health care benefits incurred on or after July 1, 2006. Retirees and spouses as of July 1, 2006, who live outside of the Central NY, geographic area will continue to be covered by the Bank's health care plan and therefore, remain a liability for the Bank. Employees who retire after July 1, 2006, and become Medicare eligible will only have access to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Blue PPO health insurance plan. There were no changes to medical benefits for retirees and spouses up to age 65. Effective July 1, 2006, the amount paid by retirees up to age 65 who remain covered under the Bank's health plan was increased from 40% to 50% of the cost of coverage.
As a result of these changes, the Bank will receive the Medicare Part D subsidy payment for January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006 for all Medicare eligible retirees and spouses and for July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 for only those Medicare eligible retirees and spouses who live outside of the Central NY area. Due to the decrease in the number of retirees and spouses who will produce a federal subsidy payment for the Bank, it is not expected that the Bank will file for and receive subsidy payments after 2006.
Effective July 1, 2006, dental benefits were eliminated for all retirees.
The plan changes were recognized as a negative plan amendment in accordance with paragraph 55 of Financial Accounting Standard No. 106 (FAS 106) in the second quarter. The plan changes were communicated to retirees and plan amendments were adopted during May 2006. The obligation was remeasured using a 6.5% Discount Rate in accordance with paragraph 73 of FAS 106.
On October 11, 2006 the Bank entered into a Trust Company Agreement and Plan of Merger with Partners Trust Financial Group, Inc. ("Partners") pursuant to which the Bank will acquire Partners trust business. The sale price of approximately $5.2 million is subject to adjustment based on the fair market value of the trust assets at the time of transfer. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is currently expected to close in the first quarter of 2007.
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The discussion that follows focuses on the significant factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, with comparisons to the comparable periods in 2005, as applicable. The following discussion and the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included in this report, should be read in conjunction with our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2006. The results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.
Forward-looking Statements
This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Corporation intends itsforward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections. All statements regarding the Corporation's expected financial position and operating results, the Corporation's business strategy, the Corporation's financial plans, forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to the Corporation's industry and similar matters are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by the Corporation's use of forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," or "intend." The Corporation cannot promise that its expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. The Corporation's actual results could be materially different from expectations because of various factors, including changes in economic conditions or interest rates, credit risk, difficulties in managing our growth, competition, changes in the regulatory environment, and changes in general business and economic trends.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties
Critical accounting policies include the areas where the Corporation has made what it considers to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments in making estimates, and where these estimates can significantly affect the Corporation's financial results under different assumptions and conditions. The Corporation prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, the Corporation is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
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 probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and the material effect that such judgments can have on the Corporation's results of operations. While management's current evaluation of the allowance for loan losses indicates that the allowance is adequate, under adversely different conditions or assumptions, the allowance would need to be increased. For example, if historical loan loss experience significantly worsened or if current economic conditions significantly deteriorated, additional provisions for loan losses would be required to increase the allowance. In addition, the assumptions and estimates used in the internal reviews of the Corporation's non-performing loans and potential problem loans, and the associated evaluation of the related collateral coverage for these loans, has a sig nificant impact on the overall analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. While management has concluded that the current evaluation of collateral values is reasonable under the circumstances, if collateral evaluations were significantly lowered, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses policy would also require additional provisions for loan losses.
Financial Condition
Consolidated assets at September 30, 2006 totaled $732.1 million, an increase of $14.0 million or 2.0% since December 31, 2005. As discussed in greater detail below, this increase is reflected primarily in a $48.3 million increase in loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned income, somewhat offset primarily by a $36.2 million decrease in investment securities.
As noted above, total loans, net of deferred fees and costs and unearned income increased $48.3 million or 11.5% from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006. While growth was exhibited in all segments of the loan portfolio, the most significant growth occurred in total residential mortgages and commercial loans (including commercial mortgages), with these portfolios increasing $26.1 million and $14.2 million, respectively since December 31, 2005. Activity in both of these areas has been strong throughout the first nine months of 2006, impacted to some extent by the Corporation's expansion into Tompkins County, with total residential mortgages and commercial loans in this market increasing $13.9 million and $8.2 million, respectively. Additionally, total consumer loans have increased $7.9 million since December 31, 2005, reflected in increases in installment and home equity balances of $3.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, as well as a $1.2 million increase in student lo ans.
The composition of the loan portfolio is summarized as follows:
September 30, 2006 | December 31, 2005 | |
Residential mortgages | $123,214,124 | $ 97,091,215 |
Commercial mortgages | 54,662,209 | 41,571,000 |
Commercial, financial and agricultural | 141,925,972 | 140,781,378 |
Consumer loans | 147,181,176 | 139,241,620 |
$466,983,481 | $418,685,213 |
The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $197.2 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $233.0 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of approximately $35.8 million or 15.4%. At amortized cost, the available for sale portfolio was down approximately $35.9 million, with unrealized appreciation related to the available for sale portfolio increasing $144 thousand. Federal agency bonds declined $20.0 million, as during the first nine months of 2006, $20.0 million of bonds were called. Other major factors in this decrease included a $13.9 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities and a $2.1 million decrease in municipal bonds. The decrease in mortgage-backed securities reflects principal payments received during the first nine months of 2006. The held to maturity portion of the portfolio, consisting primarily of local municipal obligations, was down $440 thousand from $8.6 million at December 31, 2005 to $8.1 million at September 30, 2006.
A $2.0 million decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock is primarily due to net redemptions of shares by the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB").
Other significant changes since December 31, 2005 include a $2.1 million increase in premises and equipment, net, and a $1.6 million increase in other assets. The $2.1 million increase in premises and equipment is due primarily to renovations at both our main office and the property housing the Ithaca Station office, which was opened during the second quarter of 2006, as well as ongoing investments in equipment. The $1.6 million increase in other assets was impacted primarily by an increase in Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO").
Since December 31, 2005, total deposits have increased $55.2 million or 10.5% from $524.9 million to $580.1 million. While non-interest bearing demand deposits were up $5.0 million, the majority of the increase was in interest-bearing deposits, which increased $50.2 million. Approximately $32.1 million of the increase in interest-bearing deposits was in public fund balances, principally reflected in higher time deposit, insured money market and Now account balances. The balance of the increase in interest-bearing balances was due primarily to higher personal time deposit balances and non-personal insured money market balances, offset to some extent primarily by lower period-end personal savings, insured money market and Now balances. A $23.4 million decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase reflects the fact that during the first nine months of this year, repurchase agreement advances from the FHLB totaling $19.0 million matured, and repurchase agreement advances totaling $7.5 million we re called. Additionally, a $10.0 million long term advance from the FHLB was called.
Proceeds from the increase in deposits, as well as the decrease in securities were used to fund the above noted loan growth and reduction in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, as well as to reduce borrowings under our line of credit with the FHLB, which were down $9.4 million since December 31, 2005.
Asset Quality
Non-performing loans at September 30, 2006 totaled $6.608 million as comparedto $9.141 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $2.533 million. Non-accrual loans were down $2.697 million, as during the first nine months of 2006, the Corporation acquired two commercial properties through foreclosure proceedings, resulting in the reclassification of approximately $1.3 million from non-accrual to other real estate owned. Additionally, this decrease was impacted by charge-offs of previously non-accruing commercial loans totaling $512 thousand. The balance of the decrease in non-accrual loans is due primarily to principal payments received on non-accruing commercial loans as well as a decrease in non-accrual residential mortgages. A $231 thousand increase in troubled debt restructurings resulted primarily from the addition of one commercial relationship to this category since December 31, 2005. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due have declined $67 thousand primarily due to lower home equity and consumer loan delinquencies, somewhat offset by higher mortgage delinquencies in this category.
The following table summarizes the Corporation's non-performing assets:
(dollars in thousands) | September 30, 2006 | December 31, 2005 |
Non-accrual loans | $ 6,030 | $ 8,727 |
Troubled debt restructurings | 337 | 106 |
Accruing loans past due 90 days or more | 241 | 308 |
Total non-performing loans | $ 6,608 | $ 9,141 |
Other real estate owned | 1,544 | 79 |
Total non-performing assets | $ 8,152 | $ 9,220 |
In addition to non-performing loans, as of September 30, 2006, the Corporation has identified 15 commercial loan relationships totaling $10.8 million in potential problem loans, as compared to $9.3 million (15 commercial loan relationships) at December 31, 2005. This increase resulted primarily from the identification of one commercial relationship as a potential problem loan. Potential problem loans are loans that are currently performing, but where known information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms, and which may result in the disclosure of such loans as non-performing at some time in the future. At the Corporation, potential problem loans are typically loans that are performing but are classified in the Corporation's loan rating system as "substandard". Management cannot predict the extent to which economic conditions may worsen or other factors may impact borrowers and the potential problem loans. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other loans will not become 90 days or more past due, be placed on non-accrual, become restructured, or require increased allowance coverage and provisions for loan losses.
Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is performed on a periodic basis and takes into consideration such factors as the historical loan loss experience, review of specific problem loans (including evaluation of the underlying collateral), changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. With the level of non-performing relationships having declined, the Corporation has reduced its provision for loan losses during the first nine months of 2006 to $125 thousand as compared to $975 thousand during the first nine months of 2005. At September 30, 2006, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses totaled $9.220 million, resulting in a coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans of 139.5%. The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable loan losses on existing loans. Net loan charge-offs for the fi rst nine months of 2006 totaled $683 thousand as compared to $1.239 million during the first nine months of 2005, this decrease primarily due to a $545 thousand decrease in net commercial loan charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses to total loans at September 30, 2006 was 1.97% as compared to 2.34% as of December 31, 2005.
Activity in the allowance for loan losses was as follows:

Results of Operations
Third Quarter of 2006 vs. Third Quarter of 2005
Net income for the third quarter of 2006 totaled $1.837 million, a decrease of $118 thousand or 6.0% as compared to third quarter 2005 net income of $1.955 million. Earnings per share decreased 3.8% from $0.53 per share to $0.51 per share on 43,869 fewer average shares outstanding. This decrease in third quarter net income resulted principally from an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in non-interest income and a lower provision for loan losses.
Despite a $3.2 million increase in average earning assets as compared to the third quarter of 2005, net interest income was down $102 thousand or 1.6% from $6.281 million to $6.179 million, as the net interest margin declined 7 basis points from 3.77% to 3.70%. This reduction has been caused by higher short term interest rates and a flat to inverted yield curve, with a 53 basis point increase in yield on earning assets from 5.49% to 6.02%, offset by an 87 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities from 2.31% to 3.18%. The increase in average earning assets was due to a $45.9 million increase in average loans offset by a $36.8 million decrease in the average securities portfolio and a $6.0 million decrease in average federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits. The increase in average loans reflects growth in all segments of the loan portfolio, with average mortgages increasing $26.6 million, and average consumer loans and commercial loans increasing $12.8 million and $6.5 millio n, respectively. The decrease in average securities has been impacted by the flat to inverted yield curve, and the resulting inability to leverage quality securities purchases at acceptable interest rate spreads.
Total average funding liabilities, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, increased $3.1 million or 0.5% compared to third quarter 2005 averages, as a $42.8 million increase in average deposits and a $5.6 million increase in average overnight borrowings under the Corporations line of credit with the FHLB, were partially offset by a $31.1 million decrease in average term repurchase agreements funded by the FHLB and a $15.0 million decrease in average term advances from the FHLB. While average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $9.4 million, average interest bearing deposits were up $33.4 million. The increase in interest bearing deposits was reflected primarily in higher average time deposits and insured money market deposits of $37.5 million and $9.8 million, respectively, somewhat offset primarily by a $9.5 million decrease in average savings account balances and a $4.4 million decrease in average Now accounts. The decreases in average securities sold under agreements to repurchase a nd term advances from the FHLB reflects the maturity or call of advances that had been utilized to leverage securities purchases. While average interest bearing liabilities decreased $6.3 million or 1.3%, interest expense increased $1.029 million or 36.0%, as the average cost of interest bearing liabilities rose 87 basis points from 2.31% to 3.18%, reflective of the fact that the increase in average deposits was primarily due to an increase in higher cost time and insured money market deposits.
As discussed more fully under the Asset Quality section of this report, the $325 thousand decrease in the provision for loan losses reflects the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the continuing decline in non-performing loans.
Non-interest income during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 increased $362 thousand or 10.7%. This increase was impacted to a great extent by a $155 thousand increase in service charges on deposit accounts as well as a $149 thousand increase in revenue generated by OREO, these being properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings. The increase in service charges was due primarily to an increase in fees for insufficient funds, as this fee was increased during the first quarter of 2006. The increase in revenue generated by OREO was due primarily to the operation of a golf course which the Corporation acquired through foreclosure in the first quarter of this year. While this property is for sale, management determined that the marketability of the course would be enhanced by its ongoing operation as opposed to sitting vacant. Additionally, the revenue generated through the operation of the course has helped to offset maintenance costs which would have been incurred whethe r or not the golf course was in operation. In addition to the foregoing, other significant increases included a $38 thousand increase in debit card interchange income as well as the receipt of an $88 thousand insurance experience rebate related to credit life and disability insurance on consumer loans.
Third quarter 2006 operating expenses were $758 thousand or 11.5% higher than the comparable period last year. Areas having the greatest impact on this increase include a $207 thousand increase in costs associated with OREO, a $156 thousand increase in salaries and wages, a $100 thousand increase in net occupancy costs and an $87 thousand increase in data processing and software costs. The increase in OREO expense is due primarily to the above mentioned operation of the golf course acquired through foreclosure. The salary increase was impacted by merit increases effective in January of 2006 as well as increased compensation costs related to the Corporation's expansion into the New York State counties of Tompkins and Broome. The increase in net occupancy costs was impacted to a great extent by the above mentioned expansion, while the increase in data processing and software costs was related principally to higher software maintenance and license costs, an increase in Trust and Investment Center data proce ssing fees and an increase in debit card processing costs.
A $55 thousand decrease in income tax expense resulted primarily from a $173 thousand reduction in pre-tax income, with the effective tax rate decreasing from 29.7% in the third quarter of 2005 to 29.5% in the third quarter of 2006.
Year-To-Date 2006 vs. Year-To-Date 2005
Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 totaled $5.230 million, a decrease of $53 thousand or 1.0% as compared to net income of $5.283 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. Earnings per share were unchanged at $1.43 per share on 48,065 fewer average shares outstanding. Similar to third quarter results, the decrease in year-to-date income resulted primarily from an increase in operating expenses and a reduction in net interest income, offset to some extent by an increase in non-interest income and a lower provision for loan losses.
Compared to the first nine months of 2005, net interest income declined $131 thousand or 0.7% from $18.481 million to $18.350 million, with the net interest margin down 5 basis points from 3.74% to 3.69%. Average earning assets increased $4.5 million or 0.7%, as an increase in average loans of $43.3 million was offset by decreases in the average securities portfolio and federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits of $27.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The $43.3 million increase in average loans reflects growth in all segments of the loan portfolio with average mortgages increasing $18.2 million, average consumer loans increasing $13.6 million and average commercial loans up $11.5 million. As mentioned above, the decrease in the average securities portfolio has been impacted by the flat to inverted yield curve and resulting inadequate spreads available on these investments. While average earning assets increased 0.7%, total interest and dividend income increased $2.700 million or 10.1%, as the yield rose 50 basis points from 5.39% to 5.89%.
Total average funding liabilities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 increased $4.5 million or 0.7% when compared to the first nine months of 2005, the result of a $35.8 million increase in average deposits, as well as a $9.4 million increase in average short term borrowings under the Corporation's line of credit with the FHLB. These increases were somewhat offset primarily by decreases in average securities sold under agreements to repurchase funded by the FHLB and term advances from the FHLB totaling $30.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively. The increase in average deposits was impacted greatly by a $35.5 million increase in average time deposits, as these deposits represented a significant funding source for average loan growth during the first nine months of this year. In addition to this increase, average demand deposits and insured money market balances were up $7.4 million and $5.4 million respectively, offset by decreases in average savings balances of $8.5 million, and intere st-bearing Now accounts of $4.0 million. As was noted above, the decreases in average securities sold under agreements to repurchase and term advances from the FHLB reflects the maturity or call of advances that had been utilized to leverage securities purchases. While average interest bearing liabilities decreased $2.9 million or 0.6%, total interest expense increased $2.831 million or 34.8%, as the average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 78 basis points to 2.98%, impacted primarily by a 93 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing deposits.
As noted above and discussed more fully under the Asset Quality section of this discussion, with the level of non-performing loans declining, and given the adequacy of the Corporation's allowance for loan losses, the provision for loan losses during the first nine months of 2006 totaled $125 thousand as compared to $975 thousand during the first nine months of 2005, a decrease of $850 thousand.
Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2006 increased $1.127 million or 11.8% when compared to the comparable period of 2005. The major factors behind this increase were the same as reported under third quarter results, with the most significant factors including a $531 thousand increase in service charges on deposit accounts and a $241 thousand increase in revenue generated from the operation of OREO. Other significant factors included a $162 thousand increase in revenue from our equity investment in Cephas Capital Partners, LP, a Small Business Investment Company limited partnership, and a $102 thousand increase in debit card interchange income.
Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2006 increased $1.878 million or 9.5% compared to the corresponding period in 2005. As was the case with the third quarter operating expense increase, and for reasons discussed above, the areas having the greatest impact on this increase include a $442 thousand increase in costs associated with OREO, a $450 thousand increase in salaries and wages, a $315 thousand increase in net occupancy costs and a $348 thousand increase in data processing and software costs.
Income taxes for the first nine months of 2006 were $21 thousand higher than last year, with the effective tax rate increasing from 28.5% to 28.9%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
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. The Corporation uses a variety of resources to meet its liquidity needs. These include short term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, core deposit growth and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits of $100,000 or more, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings.
The Corporation is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") which allows it to access borrowings which enhance management's ability to satisfy future liquidity needs. At September 30, 2006, the Corporation maintained a $144.4 million line of credit with the FHLB, as compared to $141.5 million at September 30, 2005.
During the first nine months of 2006, cash and cash equivalents increased $95 thousand as compared to a decrease of $9.9 million during the first nine months of 2005. In addition to cash provided by operating activities, other primary sources of cash during the first nine months of 2006 included proceeds from maturities and principal payments on securities ($39.5 million), an increase in deposits ($55.1 million) and net redemptions of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock ($2.0 million). During the first nine months of 2005, primary sources of cash in addition to cash provided by operating activities included proceeds from maturities, sales and principal payments on securities ($67.9 million), an increase in deposits ($31.7 million) and net redemptions of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock ($1.5 million).
Cash generated during the first nine months of 2006 was used primarily to fund a net increase in loans of $54.2 million, reduce securities sold under agreements to repurchase by $23.4 million and reduce net overnight and term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank by $9.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively. Other significant uses of cash during this period included purchases of premises and equipment of $4.0 million, the purchase of securities in the amount of $3.2 million, the payment of cash dividends totaling $2.6 million, and the purchase of treasury shares totaling $1.5 million. Cash generated during the first nine months of 2005 was used primarily to fund the purchase of securities totaling $58.0 million, a net increasein loans of $34.4 million, and to reduce securities sold under agreements to repurchase by $26.0 million. Other significant uses of cash during this period included the payment of cash dividends totaling $2.6 million, the purchase of treasury shares totaling $2.3 millio n and purchases of premises and equipment of $2.1 million.
Since December 31, 2005, the Corporation's total shareholders' equity has increased from $81.2 million to $82.5 million. This increase is primarily reflected in a $2.7 million increase in retained earnings, somewhat offset by a $1.2 million increase in treasury shares.
As of September 30, 2006, the Corporation's consolidated leverage ratio was 10.82%. The Tier I and Total Risk Adjusted Capital ratios were 15.44% and 17.42%, respectively. All of the above ratios are in excess of the requirements for being considered "well capitalized" by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the New York State Banking Department.
During the first nine months of 2006 the Corporation declared cash dividends of $0.72 per share, unchanged from the amount declared during the first nine months of 2005.
When shares of the Corporation become available in the market, we may purchase them after careful consideration of our capital position. On November 17, 2004, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 180,000 shares, or approximately 5% of its outstanding common shares, either through open market or privately negotiated transactions over a two-year period. During the first nine months of 2006, the Corporation purchased 48,943 shares at an average price of $29.79 per share. As of September 30, 2006, a total of 128,808 shares had been purchased since the inception of the announced repurchase program. Additionally during the first nine months of 2006, 9,156 shares were re-issued from treasury to fund the stock component of directors' 2005 compensation as well as distributions under the Corporation's directors' deferred stock plan.
Interest Rate Risk
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 chief executive officer, president, two executive vice presidents, chief financial officer, asset liability management officer, senior marketing officer, and others representing key functions.
The ALCO is also 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.
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 September 30, 2006, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 3.86% and an immediate 200-basis point increase would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 2.98%. Both are within the Corporation's policy guideline of 15% established by ALCO.
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 September 30, 2006, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the market value of our capital account by 5.32% and an immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would negatively impact the market value by 5.52%. Both are within the established tolerance limit of 15%.
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 the first nine months of 2006.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Information required by this Item is set forth herein in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading "Interest Rate Risk."
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
The Corporation's management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who is the Corporation's principal executive officer, and our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, who is the Corporation's principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2006. Based upon that evaluation, the Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2006.
There were no significant changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Corporation's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.
