PART 1 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EVANS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006
1. | | ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
| | The accounting and reporting policies followed by Evans Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a financial holding company, and its two direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Evans National Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s subsidiaries, Evans National Leasing, Inc. (“ENL”) and Evans National Holding Corp. (“ENHC”); and (ii) Evans National Financial Services, Inc. (“ENFS”), and ENFS’s subsidiary ENB Insurance Agency, Inc. (“ENBI”) and ENBI’s subsidiaries, Frontier Claims Services, Inc. (“FCS”) and ENB Associates Inc. (“ENB”), in the preparation of the accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with general practice within the banking industry. Except as the context otherwise requires, the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company.” |
|
| | The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. |
|
| | The results of operations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. |
|
2. | | SECURITIES |
|
| | Securities which the Company has the positive ability and intent to hold to maturity are stated at amortized cost. Securities which the Company has identified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported net of deferred income taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity. Available-for-sale securities are net of unrealized losses of $0.3 million, $1.5 million and $1.9 million as of June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. As of June 30, 2007 the securities portfolio did not contain any other than temporary declines in fair value. |
|
3. | | ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES |
|
| | The allowance for loan and lease losses represents the amount charged against the Bank’s earnings to establish an allowance for probable loan and lease losses based on the management of the Bank’s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio. Factors considered by the Bank’s management in establishing the allowance include: the collectibility of individual loans and leases, current loan and lease concentrations, charge-off history, delinquent loan and lease percentages, input from regulatory agencies and general economic conditions. |
|
| | On a quarterly basis, management of the Bank meets to review and determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses. In making this determination, the Bank’s management analyzes the ultimate collectibility of the loans and leases in its portfolio by incorporating feedback provided by the Bank’s internal loan staff, an independent internal loan review function and information provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies. |
|
| | The analysis of the allowance for loan and lease losses is composed of three components: specific credit allocation, general portfolio allocation and a subjective allocation. The specific credit allocation includes a |
8
| | detailed review of the credit in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” and No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan – Income Recognition and Disclosures,” and allocation is made based on this analysis. The general portfolio allocation consists of an assigned reserve percentage based on the historical loss experience of the loan or lease category. |
|
| | The subjective portion of the allowance reflects management’s evaluation of various conditions, and involves a higher degree of uncertainty because this component of the allowance is not identified with specific problem credits of portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with this component include the following: industry and regional conditions; seasoning of the loan and lease portfolio and changes in the composition of and growth in the loan and lease portfolio; the strength and duration of the business cycle; existing general economic and business conditions in the lending areas; credit quality trends in nonaccruing loans and leases; historical loan and lease charge-off experience; and the results of bank regulatory examinations. |
|
| | The following table sets forth information regarding the allowance for loan and lease losses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. |

4. | | PER SHARE DATA |
|
| | The common stock per share information is based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, retroactively adjusted for stock dividends and stock splits. The Company’s potential dilutive securities included 682 dilutive shares for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007. There were no dilutive securities for the three months ended June 30, 2007. There were 3,093 and 2,035 dilutive shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006. On February 23, 2007, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.34 per share payable on April 2, 2007 to shareholders of record as of March 12, 2007. |
|
| | Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered to be anti-dilutive. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” these shares were not included in calculating diluted earnings per share. As of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, there were approximately 74 thousand and 61 thousand shares, respectively, that are not included in calculating diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. As of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, there were approximately 46 thousand and 59 thousand shares that are not included in calculating diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. |
|
5. | | TREASURY STOCK |
|
| | During the quarter ended June 30, 2007 the Company repurchased 5,800 shares of common stock at an average cost of $20.14 per share, pursuant to the Company’s publicly announced common stock repurchase program. |
|
6. | | SEGMENT INFORMATION |
|
| | The Company is comprised of two primary business segments, banking and insurance agency activities. The following tables set forth information regarding these segments for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. |

7. | | CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS |
|
| | The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities, which arise in the normal course of business, and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. A summary of the Bank’s commitments and contingent liabilities at June 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows: |
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2007 | | | 2006 | |
| | (in thousands) | | | | | |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | 57,662 | | | $ | 54,966 | |
|
Standby letters of credit | | | 2,089 | | | | 2,080 | |
| | | | | | |
|
Total | | $ | 59,751 | | | $ | 57,046 | |
| | | | | | |
| | Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit include some exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer. The Bank’s credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded on the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because they may expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent cash requirements of the Bank. The Bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments during the past two years. |
|
| | Certain lending commitments for construction residential mortgage loans are considered derivative instruments under the guidelines of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The changes in the fair value of these commitments due to interest rate risk are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as the fair value of these derivatives are not considered material. |
12
The Company is subject to possible litigation proceedings in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2007, there were no claims pending against the Company that management considered to be material.
8.RECLASSIFICATIONS AND ERROR CORRECTION
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 unaudited consolidated financial statements to conform with the presentation used in 2007.
In the second quarter of 2007, the Company identified an error in its amortization of deferred loan fees in accordance with SFAS 91. The amortization of these fees was understated by $173 thousand ($106 thousand after tax) due to a systems error in 2005, 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. The correction of this error was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2007 as a $173 thousand increase to loan interest income. Income tax expense was increased by $67 thousand, resulting in an increase in net income of $106 thousand. Neither the origination nor the correction of the error was material to our financial statements.
9.NET PERIODIC BENEFIT COSTS
The Bank has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all Company employees. The plan provides benefits that are based on the employees’ compensation and years of service. The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing prior service cost and unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual experience and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortized method the Bank is using recognizes the prior service cost and net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees.
The Bank also maintains a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan covering certain members of the Company’s senior management. The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual expense and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortization method the Bank uses recognizes the net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees.
The following table represents net periodic benefit costs recognized:

10.INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense totaled $46 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 for an effective tax rate of 3.9%. There was an income tax benefit of $(435) thousand for the second quarter. The low effective tax rate for the year-to-date and the income tax benefit for the quarter were due to the loss on sale of securities of $2.3 million incurred in the second quarter. Excluding the loss on sale of securities, the effective tax rate on all other income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 was 26.3% and 26.7%, respectively, compared to 23.9% and 27.8% in the prior year. Excluding the loss on sale of securities, the Company records an effective tax rate for the period that will be reflective of the projected annual tax rate based on expected supportable tax positions.
11.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes– In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” to set out a consistent framework for tax preparers to use to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions. This interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 uses a two-step approach wherein a tax benefit is recognized if a position is more likely than not to be sustained. The amount of the benefit is then measured to be the highest tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 also sets out disclosure requirements to enhance transparency of an entity’s tax reserves. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. There were no unrecognized tax benefits or penalties at the date of adoption.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced examinations of the Company’s U.S. Federal income tax returns for 2003, 2004, and 2005 in the first quarter of 2007. It is anticipated that the examination related to these returns will be completed within the next twelve months. To date, there are no proposed adjustments that will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. All penalties or interest on adjustments, if any, will be expensed as income tax expense.
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157)– In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). This standard defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. In addition, SFAS 157 precludes the use of block discounts and supersedes the guidance in EITF 02-3, which prohibited the recognition of day-1 gains on certain derivative trades when determining the fair value of instruments not traded in an active market. With the adoption of this standard, these changes will be reflected as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The standard also requires the Company to reflect its own credit standing when measuring the fair value of debt it has issued that is carried at fair value, including derivatives, prospectively from the date of adoption.
14
SFAS 157 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, with earlier adoption permitted for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007. The Company did not early adopt FAS 157. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard.
Fair Value Option (SFAS 159)– On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). Under this Standard, the Company may elect to report financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis with changes in value reported in earnings. This election is irrevocable. SFAS 159 provides an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that is caused by measuring hedged assets and liabilities that were previously required to use a different accounting method than the related hedging contracts when the complex provisions of SFAS 133 hedge accounting are not met.
SFAS 159 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption within 120 days of the beginning of a company’s 2007 fiscal year is permissible, provided the company has not yet issued interim financial statements for 2007 and has adopted SFAS 157. The Company did not early adopt FAS 159. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard.
Split-Dollar Life Insurance- At its September 2006 meeting, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a final consensus on Issue 06-04, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.” The consensus stipulates that an agreement by an employer to share a portion of the proceeds of a life insurance policy with an employee during the postretirement period is a postretirement benefit arrangement required to be accounted for under SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 12, “Omnibus Opinion — 1967.” The consensus concludes that the purchase of a split-dollar life insurance policy does not constitute a settlement under SFAS No. 106 and, therefore, a liability for the postretirement obligation must be recognized under SFAS No. 106 if the benefit is offered under an arrangement that constitutes a plan or under APB No. 12 if it is not part of a plan. Issue 06-04 is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2007. The provisions of Issue 06-06 should be applied through either a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption or retrospective application. The Company has endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies covering certain directors and employees.
ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this report, or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company’s business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies, statements regarding the asset quality of the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, and estimates of the Company’s risks and future costs and benefits.
These forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to general economic conditions, either nationally or in the Company’s market areas, that are worse than expected; increased competition among depository or other financial institutions; inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce the Company’s margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; changes in laws or government regulations affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; the Company’s ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired entities; changes in accounting pronouncements and practices, as adopted by financial institution regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; changes in the Company’s organization, compensation and benefit plans; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s control and are difficult to predict.

Because of these and other uncertainties, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation, to publicly update or revise forward-looking information, whether as a result of new, updated information, future events or otherwise.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments, and as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily through the use of internal cash flow modeling techniques.
The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other Notes to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and how those values are determined.
Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and valuation of goodwill to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The allowance for loan and lease losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses in the Bank’s loan and lease portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment on the part of management and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans and leases, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans and leases based on historical loss experience and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan and lease portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Note 1 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan and lease losses.
Goodwill
The amount of goodwill reflected in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements is required to be tested by management for impairment on at least an annual basis. The test for impairment of goodwill on the identified reporting unit is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires judgment on the part of management and the use of estimates related to the growth assumptions and market multiples used in the valuation model.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Loan and Lease Activity
Total gross loans and leases grew to $302.3 million at June 30, 2007, reflecting a $7.9 million or 2.7% increase from March 31, 2007 and a $13.2 million or 4.6% increase from December 31, 2006. Gross loans and leases are net of $8.5 million, $8.2 million of unearned income and $7.8 million unearned income on direct financing leases as of June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Commercial loans and leases totaled $213.5 million at June 30, 2007, reflecting a $6.5 million or 3.1% increase from March 31, 2007, and an $11.8 million or 5.9% increase from December 31, 2006. Growth in direct financing leases of $2.9 million or 8.6%, commercial installment loans of $1.9 million or 10.6%, and commercial lines of credit of $1.1 million or 8.6%, were largely responsible for the increase from March 31, 2007 to June 30, 2007. Growth in direct financing leases of $5.4 million or 17.0%, commercial installment loans of $3.1 million or 18.2%, and commercial lines of credit of $2.0 million or 16.8% were largely responsible for the increase from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Consumer loans totaled $88.0 million at June 30, 2007, reflecting a $1.2 million or 1.4% increase from March 31, 2007 and a $1.2 million or 1.4% increase from December 31, 2006. Real estate loans accounted for most of the increase as those loans increased $0.8 million or 1.6% from March 31, 2007 to June 30, 2007 and $1.5 million or 3.0% from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. The Bank continues to sell certain fixed rate residential mortgages originated below a designated interest level to the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), while maintaining the servicing rights for those mortgages. During the three month period ended June 30, 2007, the Bank sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $0.8 million, as compared to $0.2 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2006. During the six month period ended June 30, 2007, the Bank sold mortgages to FNMA totaling $1.1 million, as compared to $0.7 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2007, the Bank had a loan servicing portfolio principal balance of $28.4 million upon which it earns servicing fees, as compared to $28.9 million at March 31, 2007, and $28.7 million at December 31, 2006.

Net charge-offs were $533 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $117 thousand in the same period of 2006. Non-performing loans and leases, defined as accruing loans and leases greater than 90 days past due and non-accrual loans and leases, totaled 0.26% of total loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2007 as compared to 0.22% at March 31, 2007 and 0.23% at December 31, 2006. The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $3.9 million or 1.28% of total loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2007 as compared to $3.9 million or 1.32% of total loans and leases at March 31, 2007 and $3.7 million or 1.29% of total loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2006.
The adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses is reviewed quarterly by the Company’s management with consideration given to loan and lease concentrations, charge-off history, delinquent loan and lease percentages, and general economic conditions. Management believes the allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate for losses from existing loans and leases.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, gross interest income that would have been reported on non-accruing loans and leases had they been current, was $28 thousand and $46 thousand, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, gross interest income that would have been reported on non-accruing loans and leases had they been current, was $20 thousand and $54 thousand, respectively. There was $12 thousand and $18 thousand of interest income included in net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, and no interest income for the same periods in 2006 on non-accruing loans and leases.
Investing Activities
Total securities declined to $117.8 million at June 30, 2007, reflecting a $36.3 million or 23.6% decrease from March 31, 2007, and a $19.9 million or 14.5% decrease from December 31, 2006. The decline in the securities portfolio is a result of the Company’s sale of $45 million in securities in June 2007 as it initiates its strategy to de-lever a portion of its balance sheet. The decline was less than the amount sold because the Company needed to purchase short-term discount notes to pledge as collateral against its remaining municipal deposits. As some of those municipal deposits continue to roll off, the Company will allow some of its short-term discount notes to mature without being replaced. The Company monitors extension and prepayment risk in the portfolio to limit potential exposures. Management believes the average expected life of the portfolio is 2.4 years as of June 30, 2007, as compared to 2.7 years as of March 31, 2007. Available-for-sale securities with a total fair value of $112.2 million at June 30, 2007 were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

Funding Activities
Total deposits at June 30, 2007 were $373.1 million, reflecting a $6.8 million or 1.8% decrease from March 31, 2007. Time deposits $100,000 and over decreased $12.0 million, or 14.3%, to $72.0 million mainly due to municipal deposits and run off of time deposits accumulated in promotions in prior periods. Additionally, muni-vest balances decreased $1.6 million or 3.4% from March 31, 2007. The Company has allowed these sources of funds to roll off as part of its de-leverage strategy. As the investment securities balance has declined, these funds were no longer needed. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $3.6 million, or 5.1%, in demand deposits. Core deposits (all deposits excluding time deposits greater than $100,000) increased $5.2 million, or 1.8%, to $301.2 million from March 31, 2007.
Total deposits increased $17.4 million or 4.9% increase from December 31, 2006. The increase in deposits from December 31, 2006 was primarily attributable to an increase in muni-vest deposits of $13.9 million or 44.6%, which was the mainly due to a large deposit made by a single municipal customer in the first quarter. Additionally, demand deposits increased $2.3 million or 3.2% from December 31, 2006, while NOW accounts decreased $1.1 million or 9.6% from December 31, 2006.
As the securities portfolio has declined, the Company has had less need to rely on wholesale sources of funds. Short-term borrowings from other correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York was $5.8 million at June 30, 2007 as compared to $26.4 million at March 31, 2007 and $24.8 million at December 31, 2006.

Net (Loss) Income
The net loss was $(0.1) million or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to net income of $1.1 million or $0.39 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006. The net loss was largely a result of the loss on sale of securities in the quarter. The return on average assets was -0.12% and 0.92% for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The return on average equity was -1.37% and 11.60% for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Net operating income (as defined in the subsequent “Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Results of Operations”) for the second quarter of 2007 was $1.17 million, up 7.3% from $1.09 million during last year’s
22
second quarter, and diluted operating earnings per share increased $0.02, or 5.0%, to $0.42 per share. The increase in net operating income was driven by growth in net interest income and non-interest income, offset by an increase in non-interest expenses.
Net income was $1.1 million or $0.42 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $2.5 million or $0.91 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006. The decrease is largely explained by the loss on sale of securities in the second quarter. Net income represented a return on average assets of 0.48% and 1.06% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The return on average equity was 5.70% and 13.33% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net operating income was $2.48 million, down slightly from $2.51 million for the same period in 2006, and diluted net operating earnings per share was $0.91 compared with $0.92 last year.
Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Results of Operations
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), included in the computation of net income for the 2007 second quarter period were a $1.41 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, after-tax loss on the sale of securities and a $0.11 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, after-tax gain related to an adjustment in SFAS 91 loan fee income. Management considers these two items to be non-operating in nature and is therefore presenting supplemental reporting of its results on a “net operating” basis. This non-GAAP information is being disclosed because management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding the Company’s financial performance, its performance trends, and financial position. Specifically, the Company provides measures based on “net operating earnings,” which excludes transactions and other revenues and expenses that management does not believe are reflective of ongoing operations or are not expected to recur. While the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures which may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of net (loss) income and diluted (loss) earnings per share with net operating income and diluted net operating earnings per share is provided in the following table.

As was announced on June 27, 2007, Evans sold $45 million of investment securities at a loss in order to restructure its balance sheet to de-lever its investment in lower-margin assets, with the intention of reducing higher-cost wholesale borrowings. This transaction has provided excess capital compared with historical levels. Management may consider various alternatives for deploying this capital, including share buybacks, increased or special dividends, acquisitions, and other investment and capital management initiatives.
In the second quarter of 2007, the Company identified an error in its amortization of deferred loan fees in accordance with SFAS 91. The amortization of these fees was understated by $173 thousand ($106 thousand after tax) due to a systems error in 2005, 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. The correction of this error was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2007 as a $173 thousand increase to loan interest income. Income tax expense was increased by $67 thousand, resulting in an increase in net income of $106 thousand. Neither the origination nor the correction of the error was material to the financial statements.
Other Operating Results
Net interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 was $4.2 million and $8.1 million, respectively, an increase of $0.6 million and $0.8 million over the same periods in 2006. This is primarily a result of growth in the Bank’s commercial loan portfolio, particularly its leasing portfolio, offset by increased interest expense on time deposits. $0.1 million of the increase in both periods is attributable to an increase in SFAS 91 loan fee income from the error correction described above.
The net interest margin for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 was 3.97% and 3.79%, respectively, as compared to 3.48% for the same periods in 2006. The return on interest earning assets increased 76 and 73 basis points in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 due to the adjustment made to SFAS 91 loan fee income and a greater concentration of the loan portfolio being in higher-yielding leases. Interest free funds
24
contributed 65 basis points and 62 basis points in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, due to an increase in average demand deposits and average shareholders’ equity, compared to a 47 basis point and 45 basis point contribution in the same periods of 2006. The strong growth of loans and leases and demand deposits was offset by an increase in the Bank’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which increased to 3.67% and 3.66% in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from 3.24% and 3.07% in the same periods of 2006. The rise in interest rates on time deposits was the primary driver of the increase in the cost of funds.
The provision for loan and lease losses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 increased to $345 thousand and $660 thousand, respectively, from $228 thousand and $510 thousand for the same periods in 2006. The increase was a result of continued commercial loan growth, particularly the Bank’s expanding direct financing lease portfolio, through Evans National Leasing, which tends to have a higher credit risk than consumer loans and commercial loans collateralized by real estate.
Non-interest income was $0.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, which is down $2.2 million from $2.5 million in the same period of 2006. Non-interest income was $3.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $2.2 million from the same period of 2006. The decline in the respective periods in 2007 is due to the loss of $2.3 million realized on the sale of securities in June 2007. In addition, insurance fee revenue declined $0.1 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. These were somewhat offset by increases in deposit service charges of $71 thousand for the quarter and $44 thousand for the year-to-date period, bank-owned life insurance income of $49 thousand for the quarter and $84 thousand for the year-to-date period, and other income of $66 thousand for the quarter and $107 thousand for the year-to-date period. The increase in other income was largely due to fee income on the expanding lease portfolio along with increased ATM and interchange fee revenue.
Non interest expense was $4.7 million for three month period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.2 million or 5.1% from the same period in 2006. Non interest expense was $9.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.7 million or 7.5% from the same period in 2005. Salary and employee benefit expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 increased $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2006, due to a new branch office opened in December 2006, management transition costs, and merit pay increases awarded in early 2007. Occupancy expenses also increased as a result of the new branch. Higher professional services expenses were the result of a market analysis for the Company’s distribution network by a consultant, executive search, and investor relations consulting. Other expenses were up for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 largely as a result of the loss related to a branch operational error in processing checks incurred in the first quarter.
Income tax expense totaled $46 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 for an effective tax rate of 3.9%. There was an income tax benefit of $(435) thousand for the second quarter. The low effective tax rate for the year-to-date and the income tax benefit for the quarter were due to the loss on sale of securities of $2.3 million incurred in the second quarter. Excluding the loss on sale of securities, the effective tax rate on all other income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 was 26.3% and 26.7%, respectively, compared to 23.9% and 27.8% in the prior year. Excluding the loss on sale of securities, the Company records an effective tax rate for the period that will be reflective of the projected annual tax rate based on expected supportable tax positions.
CAPITAL
The Bank has consistently maintained regulatory capital ratios at, or above, federal “well capitalized” standards. Equity as a percentage of assets was 8.8% at June 30, 2007, up from 8.1% at March 31, 2007 and 8.3% at December 31, 2006. Book value per outstanding common share was $14.94 at June 30, 2007, compared to $14.71 at March 31, 2007, and $14.46 at December 31, 2006. Total stockholders’ equity was $41.1 million at June 30, 2007, up from $40.1 million at March 31, 2007 and $39.5 million at December 31, 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to total comprehensive income of $2.2 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2007, offset by $0.9 million in dividends in the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The $2.3 million realized loss ($1.4 million after taxes) on the sale of securities in June 2007 did not change shareholders’ equity in total as the loss was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings.
25
LIQUIDITY
The Bank utilizes cash flows from the investment portfolio and federal funds sold balances to manage the liquidity requirements related to loan demand and deposit fluctuations. The Bank also has many borrowing options. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) the Bank is able to borrow funds at competitive rates. Advances of up to $45.0 million can be drawn on the FHLB via an Overnight Line of Credit Agreement between the Bank and the FHLB. An amount equal to 25% of the Bank’s total assets could be borrowed through the advance programs under certain qualifying circumstances. The Bank also has the ability to purchase up to $14.0 million in federal funds from its correspondent banks. By placing sufficient collateral in safekeeping at the Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank could also borrow at the discount window. Additionally, the Company has access to capital markets as a funding source.
Cash flows from the Bank’s investment portfolio are laddered, so that securities mature at regular intervals, to provide funds from principal and interest payments at various times as liquidity needs may arise. Contractual maturities are also laddered, with consideration as to the volatility of market prices. At June 30, 2007, approximately 44.6% of the Bank’s securities had contractual maturity dates of one year or less and approximately 66.7% had maturity dates of five years or less. The increased concentration in short-term securities is intended to be temporary as part of the Bank’s de-leverage strategy. In June 2007, the Bank sold $45 million in investment securities with an average maturity of 3.0 years. The Bank intends to allow a corresponding amount of municipal deposits to mature and not be replaced to complete the de-leverage. Until the municipal deposits roll off, the Bank is required to hold collateral to pledge against those municipal deposits. The Bank purchased short-term securities to pledge against those deposits resulting in the increased concentration in short-maturity securities. The Company believes that the Bank maintains a sufficient level of U.S. government and government agency securities and New York State municipal bonds that can be pledged as collateral for municipal deposits. Available assets of $119.7 million, less public and purchased funds of $169.5 million, resulted in a long-term liquidity ratio of 71% at June 30, 2007, versus 75% at March 31, 2007 and 80% at December 31, 2006.
The Company’s liquidity needs can be met by more aggressively pursuing time deposits, or accessing the brokered time deposit market.
ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Additional information responsive to this Item is contained in the Liquidity section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and/or interest rates of the Bank’s financial instruments. The primary market risk the Company is exposed to is interest rate risk. The core banking activities of lending and deposit-taking expose the Bank to interest rate risk, which occurs when assets and liabilities reprice at different times and by different amounts as interest rates change. As a result, net interest income earned by the Bank is subject to the effects of changing interest rates. The Bank measures interest rate risk by calculating the variability of net interest income in the future periods under various interest rate scenarios using projected balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management’s philosophy toward interest rate risk management is to limit the variability of net interest income to changes in net interest rates. The balances of financial instruments used in the projections are based on expected growth from forecasted business opportunities, anticipated prepayments of loans, and investment securities and expected maturities of investment securities, loans and deposits. Management supplements the modeling technique described above with analysis of market values of the Bank’s financial instruments and changes to such market values given changes in the interest rates.
The Bank’s Asset Liability Committee, which includes members of senior management, monitors the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity with the aid of a computer model that considers the impact of ongoing lending and deposit taking activities, as well as interrelationships in the magnitude and timing of the repricing of financial instruments, including the effect of changing interest rates on expected prepayments and maturities. When deemed prudent, management has taken actions, and intends to do so in the future, to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk through the use of on- or off-balance sheet financial instruments. Possible actions include, but are not limited to,
26
changing the pricing of loan and deposit products, and modifying the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and other financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes.
The following table demonstrates the possible impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income over a 12 month period of time:
SENSITIVITY OF NET INTEREST INCOME
TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES
| | | | | | | | |
| | Calculated (decrease) increase |
| | in projected annual net interest income |
| | (in thousands) |
| | June 30, 2007 | | December 31, 2006 |
Changes in interest rates | | | | | | | | |
|
+200 basis points | | | (668 | ) | | | (853 | ) |
+100 basis points | | | (333 | ) | | | (424 | ) |
|
-100 basis points | | | 321 | | | | 379 | |
-200 basis points | | | 470 | | | | 551 | |
Many assumptions were utilized by management to calculate the impact that changes in the interest rates may have on the Bank’s net interest income. The more significant assumptions related to the rate of prepayments of mortgage-related assets, loan and deposit volumes and pricing, and deposit maturities. The Bank assumed immediate changes in rates including 200 basis point rate changes. In the event that the 200 basis point rate changes cannot be achieved, the applicable rate changes are limited to lesser amounts such that interest rates cannot be less than zero. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the Bank cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ significantly due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes in market conditions and interest rate differentials (spreads) between maturity/repricing categories, as well as any actions such as those previously described, which management may take to counter such changes. In light of the uncertainties and assumptions associated with the process, the amounts presented in the table and changes in such amounts are not considered significant to the Bank’s projected net interest income.
ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007 (the end of the period covered by this Report) have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting were identified in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
