ITEM 4.02(a). NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A
RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW

      In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements of Hudson Valley
Holding Corp. (the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company
determined that its previously issued Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in
certain prior periods contained errors resulting primarily from the
misclassification of changes in bank owned life insurance, goodwill and
intangible assets as operating cash flows rather than investing activities.
These errors resulted in an understatement of cash provided by operating
activities and a corresponding understatement of cash used in investing
activities. These errors had no effect on (Decrease) Increase in Cash and Due
from Banks or Cash and due from banks in any of the affected periods. These
errors also had no affect on the Company's net interest income, net income,
earnings per share, total assets and total stockholders' equity. Accordingly,
the Company's capital ratios remain unchanged.

      As a result, on March 13, 2008, management recommended to the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors that the Company's previously issued
consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the years ended December 31,
2006 and 2005, as well as its interim condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, be restated to properly reflect these cash flows. The
Audit Committee agreed with management's recommendation and has authorized the
filing of this report. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial
statements for these periods and the related reports of its independent
registered public accounting firm should not be relied upon.

      The Company's 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is being filed
concurrently with this report, includes the restated Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company
will restate its interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the
three, six and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and
September 30, 2007.

The Company's Audit Committee has discussed the matters disclosed in this Item
4.02(a) with its independent registered public accounting firms, Deloitte &
Touche LLP for years 2006 and 2005 and Crowe Chizek and Company LLC for year
2007.

A summary presentation of these cash flow restatements is presented below for
each of:

- -     the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005;

- -     the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006;

- -     the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006; and

- -     the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
