FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1.) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Financial Institutions, Inc., a financial holding company organized under the laws of New York State (“New York” or “NYS”), and its subsidiaries provide deposit, lending and other financial services to individuals and businesses in Central and Western New York. The Company owns all of the capital stock of Five Star Bank, a New York State chartered bank, and Five Star Investment Services, Inc., a broker-dealer subsidiary offering noninsured investment products. The Company also owns 100% of FISI Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), which was formed in February 2001 for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. References to “the Company” mean the consolidated reporting entities and references to “the Bank” mean Five Star Bank.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheet, statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods indicated, and contain adequate disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. Prior years’ consolidated financial statements are re-classified whenever necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, assumptions used in the defined benefit pension plan accounting, the carrying value of goodwill and deferred tax assets, and the valuation and other than temporary impairment considerations related to the securities portfolio.

Cash Flow Information

Supplemental cash flow information addressing certain cash payments and noncash investing and financing activities was as follows (in thousands):


	Six months ended
	June 30,
	2010			2009
Cash payments:
Interest	$	9,115		$	9,735
Income taxes		4,539			—
Noncash investing and financing activities:
Real estate and other assets acquired in settlement of loans	$	70		$	804
Accrued and declared unpaid dividends		1,694			1,692
Increase (decrease) in net unsettled security transactions		(441	)		18,336
Loans securitized		—			15,983

(1.) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”) was amended to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC 810 was adopted effective January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”) was amended to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC 860 was adopted effective January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) was amended to require some new disclosures and clarify some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. It requires separate presentation of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the reasons for such transfers. It will also require the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within Level 3 on a gross basis rather than a net basis. The amendments also clarify that disclosures should be disaggregated by class of asset or liability and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques should be provided for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. These new disclosure requirements were adopted by the Company during the current period, with the exception of the requirement concerning gross presentation of Level 3 activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. With respect to the portions of this amendment that were adopted during the current period, the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that the adoption of the remaining portion of this amendment will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASC 310 Receivables (“ASC 310”) was amended to require an entity to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of its financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Under this statement, allowance for credit losses and fair value are to be disclosed by portfolio segment, while credit quality information, impaired financing receivables and nonaccrual status are to be presented by class of financing receivable. Disclosure of the nature and extent, the financial impact and segment information of troubled debt restructurings will also be required. These new disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2010. The Company believes that the adoption of the standard will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(2.) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The following table presents a reconciliation of the earnings and shares used in calculating basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per share amounts).


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
Net income applicable to common shareholders	$	4,267	$	1,703	$	8,666	$	3,752
Less: Earnings allocated to participating securities		29		5		59		15

Earnings allocated to common shares outstanding	$	4,238	$	1,698	$	8,607	$	3,737


Weighted average common shares used to calculate basic EPS		10,761		10,724		10,754		10,720
Add: Effect of common stock equivalents		85		42		46		36

Weighted average common shares used to calculate diluted EPS		10,846		10,766		10,800		10,756


Earnings per common share:
Basic	$	0.39	$	0.16	$	0.80	$	0.35
Diluted	$	0.39	$	0.16	$	0.80	$	0.35

Shares subject to the following securities, outstanding as of June 30 of the respective year, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would be antidilutive:


Stock options	395	554	423	566
Restricted stock awards	2	—	1	20
Warrant	—	378	188	378

	397	932	612	964

The accounting guidance under ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company has both participating and non-participating non-vested stock awards outstanding. Only those non-vested stock awards issued with rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The dilutive effect of non-participating non-vested stock is calculated using the treasury stock method and is reflected in the weighted average common shares used to calculate diluted EPS.

The Company reviews investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) with formal reviews performed quarterly. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit issues or concerns, or the security is intended to be sold. The amount of the impairment related to non-credit related factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. Evaluating whether the impairment of a debt security is other than temporary involves assessing i.) the intent to sell the debt security or ii.) the likelihood of being required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. In determining whether the other-than-temporary impairment includes a credit loss, the Company uses its best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security considering factors such as: a.) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, b.) adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area, c.) the historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security, d.) the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments that increase in the future, e.) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, f.) any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and g.) recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.

The following summarizes the amounts of OTTI recognized during the periods presented by investment category (in thousands):

	$	—	$	1,733	$	526	$	1,783

At June 30, 2010, the number of investment securities in an unrealized loss position totaled 24. As of June 30, 2010, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities in a loss position and believes that it is likely that it will not be required to sell any such securities before the anticipated recovery of amortized cost. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities in a loss position are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2010, management has concluded that unrealized losses on its investment securities are temporary and no further impairment loss has been realized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

(8.) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Valuation Hierarchy

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

	•		Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

	•		Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

	•		Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. A more detailed description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Investment Securities. Pooled trust preferred securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs. Fair values for these securities are determined through the use of internal valuation methodologies appropriate for the specific asset, which may include the use of a discounted expected cash flow analysis or the use of broker quotes. Other securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

(8.) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Examples of these nonrecurring uses of fair value include: loans held for sale, mortgage servicing assets and collateral dependent impaired loans. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. As of June 30, 2010, a valuation allowance against loans held for sale was not necessary as fair value exceeded cost. Fair value is based on observable market rates for comparable loan products which is considered a level 2 fair value measurement.

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Recent declines in mortgage interest rates have led to an increase in the estimated prepayment speed of the Company’s sold loan portfolio with servicing retained, causing a decrease in the fair value of the Company’s MSR during the first six months of 2010. As a result of this decrease, the Company increased its corresponding valuation allowance by $94 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2010. A valuation allowance of $279 thousand existed as of June 30, 2010. The mortgage servicing rights are a Level 3 fair value measurement, as fair value is determined by calculating the present value of the future servicing cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans.

Certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $6.8 million were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations totaling $3.2 million to a total reported fair value of $3.6 million. The collateral dependent impaired loans are a Level 2 fair measurement, as fair value is determined based upon estimates of the fair value of the collateral underlying the impaired loans typically using appraisals of comparable property or valuation guides.

Nonfinancial Assets and Nonfinancial Liabilities

Certain nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment. There were no nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value during the six month period ended June 30, 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Fair Value of Financial Instruments Subsection of the ASC requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.

The following discussion describes the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value. The techniques utilized in estimating the fair values of financial instruments are reliant on the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about our business, its value or financial position based on the fair value information of financial instruments presented below.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of timing, amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer. Such estimates do not consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In some cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial instrument.

(8.) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, FHLB and FRB stock, company owned life insurance, accrued interest receivable, short-term borrowings and accrued interest payable. Fair value estimates for other financial instruments are discussed below.

Loans (including loans held for sale). For variable rate loans that re-price frequently, fair value approximates carrying amount. The fair value for fixed rate loans is estimated through discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently being offered on loans with similar terms and credit quality. For criticized and classified loans, fair value is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows, or estimates of fair value discounts based on observable market information. The fair value for loans held for sale is based on estimates, quoted market prices and investor commitments.

Deposits. The fair values for demand accounts, money market and savings deposits are equal to their carrying amounts. The fair values of certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies prevailing market interest rates for similar maturity instruments.

Long-term borrowings (excluding junior subordinated debentures). The fair value for long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies prevailing market interest rates for similar maturity instruments.

Junior subordinated debentures. The fair value for the junior subordinated debentures is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies prevailing market interest rates for similar maturity instruments.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. The accounting guidelines exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are consistent with predominant practices in the banking industry. Application of critical accounting policies, which are those policies that management believes are the most important to the Company’s financial condition and results, requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Future changes in information may affect these estimates, assumptions and judgments, which, in turn, may affect amounts reported in the financial statements.

The Company has numerous accounting policies, of which the most significant are presented in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are reported in the consolidated financial statements and how those reported amounts are determined. Based on the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has determined that the accounting policies with respect to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill and deferred tax assets, the valuation of securities and determination of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”), and accounting for defined benefit plans require particularly subjective or complex judgments important to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and, as such, are considered to be critical accounting policies. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment and are evaluated on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. The Company adjusts these estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from the Company’s estimates.

For additional information regarding critical accounting policies, refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to consolidated financial statements and the section captioned “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in the Company’s application of critical accounting policies related to the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill and deferred tax assets, the valuation of securities and determination of OTTI, and accounting for defined benefit plans since December 31, 2009.

OVERVIEW

The principal objective of this discussion is to provide an overview of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the periods covered in this quarterly report. Certain reclassifications have been made to make prior periods comparable. This discussion and tabular presentations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

IMPACT OF RECENT LEGISLATION

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which significantly changes the regulation of financial institutions and the financial services industry. The Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions affecting large and small financial institutions alike, including several provisions that will affect how community banks, thrifts, and small bank and thrift holding companies will be regulated in the future. Among other things, these provisions abolish the Office of Thrift Supervision and transfer its functions to the other federal banking agencies, relax rules regarding interstate branching, allow financial institutions to pay interest on business checking accounts, permanently raises the current standard maximum deposit insurance amount to $250,000, and impose new capital requirements on bank and thrift holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act also establishes the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection as an independent entity within the Federal Reserve, which will be given the authority to promulgate consumer protection regulations applicable to all entities offering consumer financial services or products, including banks. The Company’s management is reviewing the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, many of which are phased-in over the next several months and years, and assessing its probable impact on the operations of the Company. However, the ultimate effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on the financial services industry in general, and the Company in particular, is uncertain at this time.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary of Performance

Net income was $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2009. Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2010 was $4.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared with $1.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the second quarter of last year. Return on average equity was 10.04% and return on average assets was 0.97% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 5.48% and 0.52%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2009. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $10.5 million compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2009. For the first six months of 2010 net income available to common shareholders was $8.7 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared with $3.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2009. Return on average equity was 10.35% and return on average assets was 0.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 5.88% and 0.57%, respectively, for the same period in 2009.

Net income increased $2.6 million, or 98%, for the second quarter of 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, and increased $4.9 million, or 88%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The $2.6 million increase for the second quarter of 2010 was primarily the result of an increase of $2.0 million in net interest income, a $451 thousand increase in noninterest income and a $1.6 million decrease in noninterest expense, offset by a $1.5 million increase in income tax expense. There were no other-than-temporary impairment charges during the second quarter of 2010. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2009 included $1.7 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges on privately issued whole loan collateralized mortgage obligations. The increase in net income during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was driven by a $4.0 million increase in net interest income, a $1.5 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $2.9 million decrease in noninterest expense, offset by a $3.2 million increase in income tax expense.

Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed in the sections that follow.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the primary source of the Company’s revenue. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowings used to fund interest-earning and other assets or activities. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates and by the amount and composition of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the sensitivity of the balance sheet to changes in interest rates, including characteristics such as the fixed or variable nature of the financial instruments, contractual maturities and repricing frequencies.

Interest rate spread and net interest margin are utilized to measure and explain changes in net interest income. Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield on earning assets and the rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities that fund those assets. The net interest margin is expressed as the percentage of net interest income to average earning assets. The net interest margin exceeds the interest rate spread because noninterest-bearing sources of funds (“net free funds”), principally noninterest-bearing demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, also support earning assets. To compare tax-exempt asset yields to taxable yields, the yield on tax-exempt investment securities is computed on a taxable equivalent basis. Net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin are discussed on a taxable equivalent basis.

The following table reconciles interest income per the consolidated statements of income to interest income adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent basis:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
Interest income per consolidated statements of income	$	24,202	$	23,302	$	48,026	$	46,395
Adjustment to fully taxable equivalent basis		465		751		972		1,561

Interest income adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent basis		24,667		24,053		48,998		47,956
Interest expense		4,526		5,657		9,098		11,423

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis	$	20,141	$	18,396	$	39,900	$	36,533

- 22 -

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2010 was $20.1 million, an increase of $1.7 million or 9% versus the same quarter last year. The increase in taxable equivalent net interest income was attributable to both a favorable volume variance (as changes in the balances and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities added $1.5 million to taxable equivalent net interest income) and a favorable rate variance (as the impact of changes in the interest rate environment and product pricing increased taxable equivalent net interest income by $288 thousand).

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2010 was 4.09%, 8 basis points higher than 4.01% for the same quarter in 2009. This comparable period increase was a function of a 14 basis point increase in interest rate spread, partially offset by a 6 basis point lower contribution from net free funds (due principally to lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities reducing the value of noninterest-bearing deposits and other net free funds). The improvement in interest rate spread was a net result of a 37 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and a 23 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets.

The yield on earning assets was 5.01% for the second quarter of 2010, 23 basis points lower than the comparable quarter last year, attributable principally to the yield on investment securities (down 72 basis points, to 3.44%). The yield on loans decreased 11 basis points to 5.88%, also impacted by the lower rate environment.

The rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 1.13% for the second quarter of 2010 was 37 basis points lower than the same quarter in 2009. Rates on interest-bearing deposits were down 39 basis points to 0.98%, reflecting the lower rate environment, yet moderated by product-focused pricing to retain balances. The cost of short-term borrowings increased 8 basis points to 0.79%, while the cost of long-term funding increased modestly by 1 basis point.

Average interest-earning assets were $1.972 billion for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $133.6 million or 7% from the comparable quarter last year, with average loans up $79.8 million and average securities up $98.4 million. The growth in average loans was comprised of increases in retail loans (up $68.5 million, primarily indirect loans) and commercial loans (up $41.2 million), while residential mortgages decreased (down $29.9 million).

Average interest-bearing liabilities of $1.612 billion in the second quarter of 2010 were $98.1 million or 6% higher than the second quarter of 2009. On average, interest-bearing deposits grew $87.1 million (primarily attributable to $85.6 million higher retail deposits), while noninterest-bearing demand deposits (a principal component of net free funds) were up $38.6 million. Average wholesale funding balances increased $11.0 million between the second quarter periods, primarily due to higher short-term borrowings.

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the first six months of 2010 was $39.9 million, an increase of $3.4 million or 9% versus the same period last year. The increase in taxable equivalent net interest income was primarily attributable to a favorable volume variance (as changes in the balances and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities added $3.3 million to taxable equivalent net interest income) and to a lesser degree, a favorable rate variance (as the impact of changes in the interest rate environment and product pricing increased taxable equivalent net interest income by $56 thousand).

The net interest margin for the first six months of 2010 was 4.11%, 6 basis points higher than 4.05% for the same period last year. This comparable period increase was a function of an 11 basis point increase in interest rate spread, partially offset by a 5 basis point lower contribution from net free funds. The improvement in interest rate spread was a net result of a 39 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and a 28 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets.

The yield on earning assets was 5.04% for the first six months of 2010, 28 basis points lower than the same period last year, attributable principally to the yield on investment securities (down 90 basis points, to 3.45%). The yield on loans decreased 8 basis points to 5.93%.

The rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 1.15% for the first six months of 2010 was 39 basis points lower than the same period in 2009. Rates on interest-bearing deposits were down 40 basis points to 1.01%. The cost of short-term borrowings increased 4 basis points to 0.72%, while the cost of long-term funding increased modestly by 2 basis points.

Average interest-earning assets were $1.954 billion for the first six months of 2010, an increase of $140.8 million or 8% from the comparable period last year, with average loans up $100.0 million and average securities up $77.8 million. The growth in average loans was comprised of increases in retail loans (up $80.4 million, primarily indirect loans) and commercial loans (up $51.2 million), while residential mortgages decreased (down $31.6 million).

Average interest-bearing liabilities of $1.595 billion in the first six months of 2010 were $102.4 million or 7% higher than the first six months of 2009. On average, interest-bearing deposits grew $85.2 million (primarily attributable to $78.1 million higher retail deposits), while noninterest-bearing demand deposits were up $35.1 million. Average wholesale funding balances increased $17.2 million between the first six months of 2010 and the same period in 2009, primarily due to higher short-term borrowings.

Total noninterest income	$	4,966	$	4,515		$	9,049		$	9,206

Noninterest income, excluding net gains and impairment charges on investment securities, decreased $192 thousand or 4% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 2009. Mortgage banking income (defined as loan servicing and net gain on sale of loans held for sale) decreased $461 thousand as a result of lower secondary mortgage production experienced during the second quarter of 2010 and a $110 thousand impairment charge on capitalized mortgage servicing assets that resulted from an increase in prepayment assumptions used to value those assets. ATM and debit card income was up $146 thousand or 16% from the second quarter of 2009 primarily due to an increase in the number of cardholders and an increase in customer transactions. Broker-dealer fees and commissions were up $125 thousand or 53% from the second quarter of 2009, mainly due to increased sales volume.

The Company recognized $63 thousand in net gains on investment securities in the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $580 thousand of net losses in the same period of 2009. The investment security net gains for the second quarter of 2010 are the result of gains on the disposal of securities, as there were no other-than-temporary impairment charges during the second quarter of 2010. The $580 thousand of investment security net losses in the same period of 2009 resulted from $1.7 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges on privately issued whole loan collateralized mortgage obligations, partly offset by $1.2 million of net gains on the sale of securities.

Noninterest income, excluding net gains and impairment charges on investment securities, decreased $276 thousand or 3% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same 2009 period. Service charges on deposits decreased $105 thousand due primarily to lower nonsufficient funds fees due to changing customer behavior patterns. Mortgage banking income decreased $546 thousand as a result of lower secondary mortgage production experienced during the first six months of 2010, coupled with a $93 thousand write-down on capitalized mortgage servicing assets. ATM and debit card income was up $269 thousand or 16% when comparing the fist six months of 2010 to the same period in 2009, primarily due to an increase in the number of cardholders and customer transactions. Broker-dealer fees and commissions were up $236 thousand or 47% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same 2009 period, mainly due to increased sales volume.

The Company recognized $457 thousand in net losses on investment securities in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $576 thousand of net losses in the same period of 2009. The investment security net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 resulted from other-than-temporary impairment charges of $526 thousand incurred during the first quarter of 2010, partly offset by $69 thousand of gains on the disposal of securities. The $576 thousand of investment security losses in the same period of 2009 are a result of $1.8 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges, partly offset by $1.2 million of gains on the sale of securities.

Total noninterest expense	$	14,870	$	16,440	$	29,608	$	32,518

Noninterest expense decreased by $1.6 million or 10% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $393 thousand or 5% primarily attributable to lower incentive compensation and pension benefit costs, coupled with lower full-time equivalent staff levels. FDIC assessments were down $959 thousand or 60% from the second quarter of 2009, due primarily to a one-time special assessment of $923 thousand incurred in the second quarter of 2009, a result of changes in FDIC deposit insurance coverage and changes in premiums mandated by the FDIC to replenish deposit insurance reserves. Professional services decreased $113 thousand or 19% from 2009, as the Company incurred lower expenses associated with loan workouts and consulting services during the second quarter of 2010. Other noninterest expense was $1.6 million for 2010, a decrease of $203 thousand or 11% from the second quarter of 2009. The second quarter of 2009 included $73 thousand in amortization expense on core deposit intangibles versus none in the second quarter of 2010, as well as declines in miscellaneous other expense categories given the efforts to control discretionary expense.

Noninterest expense decreased by $2.9 million or 9% during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $877 thousand or 5% primarily attributable to lower incentive compensation and pension benefit costs and decreased full-time equivalent staff levels. FDIC assessments were down $1.0 million or 46% from the first six months of 2010, due primarily to a one-time special assessment of $923 thousand incurred in the second quarter of 2009. Professional services decreased $356 thousand or 25% from 2009. The Company incurred lower expenses associated with loan workouts and consulting services during the first half of 2010. Other noninterest expense was $3.0 million for the first six months of 2010, a decrease of $580 thousand or 16% from comparable period of 2009. The 2009 amount included $150 thousand in amortization expense on core deposit intangibles versus none during 2010, as well as declines in miscellaneous other expense categories.

The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2010 was 59.16% compared with 69.49% for the second quarter of 2009, and 59.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 69.60% for the same period a year ago. The 2010 efficiency ratios, compared to 2009, reflect lower levels of noninterest expense. The efficiency ratio equals noninterest expense less other real estate expense and amortization of intangible assets as a percentage of net revenue, defined as the sum of tax-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income before net gains and impairment charges on investment securities.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared to income tax expense of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, income tax expense totaled $5.3 million compared to $2.1 million in the same period of 2009. These changes were due in part to increases of $4.0 million and $8.2 million in pre-tax income for the three and six month periods of 2010, respectively, compared to the prior year. The effective tax rates recorded for 2010 on a quarter-to-date and year-to-date basis were 32.2% and 33.6%, respectively, in comparison to the June 30, 2009 quarter-to-date and year-to-date effective tax rates of 27.6% and 27.0%, respectively. Effective tax rates are impacted by items of income and expense that are not subject to federal or state taxation. The Company’s effective tax rates reflect the impact of these items, which include, but are not limited to, interest income from tax-exempt securities and earnings on company owned life insurance.

Impairment Assessment

The Company reviews investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) with formal reviews performed quarterly. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses or the security is intended to be sold. The amount of the impairment related to non-credit related factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. Evaluating whether the impairment of a debt security is other than temporary involves assessing i.) the intent to sell the debt security or ii.) the likelihood of being required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. In determining whether the other-than-temporary impairment includes a credit loss, the Company uses its best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security considering factors such as: a.) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, b.) adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area, c.) the historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security, d.) the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments that increase in the future, e.) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, f.) any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and g.) recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.

The table below summarizes unrealized losses in each category of the securities portfolio at the end of the periods indicated (in thousands).

- 29 -

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

U.S. Government Agencies and Government Sponsored Enterprises (“GSE”). As of June 30, 2010, there were 7 securities in the U.S. Government agencies and GSE portfolio that were in an unrealized loss position. These were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer and had an aggregate amortized cost of $9.2 million and unrealized losses of $120 thousand. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

State and Political Subdivisions. At June 30, 2010, the state and political subdivisions portfolio (“municipals”) totaled $89.0 million, of which $61.6 million was classified as available for sale. As of that date, $27.4 million was classified as held to maturity, with a fair value of $28.2 million. As of June 30, 2010, there were 2 municipals that were in an unrealized loss position. These securities had an aggregate amortized cost of $102 thousand and unrealized losses of $1 thousand.

Agency Mortgage-backed Securities. At June 30, 2010, with the exception of the non-Agency mortgage-backed securities (“non-Agency MBS”) discussed below, all of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies (“Agency MBS”), primarily FNMA and the FHLMC. The contractual cash flows of the Company’s Agency MBS are guaranteed by FNMA, FHLMC or GNMA. The GNMA mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

Given the high credit quality inherent in Agency MBS, the Company does not consider any of the unrealized losses as of June 30, 2010, on such MBS to be credit related. As a result of its analyses, the Company determined at June 30, 2010 that the unrealized losses on its Agency MBS are temporary. As of June 30, 2010, the Company did not intend to sell any of Agency MBS that were in an unrealized loss position, all of which were performing in accordance with their terms.

Non-Agency Mortgage-backed Securities. The Company’s non-Agency MBS portfolio consists of positions in three privately issued whole loan collateralized mortgage obligations with a fair value of $2.1 million and net unrealized gains of $687 thousand at June 30, 2010. As of that date, each of the 3 non-Agency MBS were rated below investment grade. None of these securities were in an unrealized loss position. To date, the Company has recognized aggregate OTTI charges due to reasons of credit quality of $6.0 million against these securities, all of which was recorded prior to 2010.

During the second quarter of 2010 the Company realized a net loss of $4 thousand on the sale of a non-Agency MBS with an amortized cost of $3.3 million.

Asset-backed Securities (“ABS”). As of June 30, 2010, the carrying value of the ABS portfolio totaled $755 thousand and consisted of positions in 15 securities, the majority of which are pooled trust preferred securities (“TPS”) collateralized by preferred debt issued primarily by financial institutions and, to a lesser extent, insurance companies located throughout the United States. As a result of some issuers defaulting and others electing to defer interest payments on the preferred debt which collateralize the securities, the Company considered the TPS to be non-performing and stopped accruing interest on the investments during 2009.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recognized OTTI charges totaling $526 thousand against four of these ABS. Since the second quarter of 2008, the Company has written down each of the securities in the ABS portfolio, resulting in OTTI charges totaling $32.8 million through June 30, 2010. The Company expects to recover the remaining carrying value of $755 thousand on the securities, which represents the Company’s maximum exposure to future OTTI charges on the current ABS portfolio. As of June 30, 2010, each of the securities in the ABS portfolio was rated below investment grade. There were 7 ABS securities in a loss position with an aggregate amortized cost of $190 thousand and unrealized losses totaling $61 thousand as of June 30, 2010. Each of these securities has been in a loss position for less than 12 months.

Other Investments. As a member of the FHLB the Bank is required to hold FHLB stock. The amount of required FHLB stock is based on the Bank’s asset size and the amount of borrowings from the FHLB. The Company has assessed the ultimate recoverability of its FHLB stock and believes no impairment currently exists. The Company’s ownership of FHLB stock, which totaled $3.4 million at June 30, 2010, is included in other assets and recorded at cost.

As a member of the FRB system, the Company is required to maintain a specified investment in FRB stock based on a ratio relative to the Company’s capital. FRB stock totaled $3.9 million at June 30, 2010, is included in other assets and recorded at cost.

Less: Allowance for loan losses		21,825					20,741

Total loans, net	$	1,269,758				$	1,243,686

Total loans increased $27.2 million to $1.292 billion as of June 30, 2010 from $1.264 billion as of December 31, 2009.

Commercial and commercial mortgages combined increased $5.6 million to $542.7 million as of June 30, 2010 from $537.1 million as of December 31, 2009, a result of the Company’s continued focus on commercial business development programs.

Residential mortgage loans decreased $5.5 million to $139.1 million as of June 30, 2010 in comparison to $144.6 million as of December 31, 2009. This category of loans decreased as the majority of newly originated and refinanced residential mortgages were sold to the secondary market rather than being added to the portfolio. The Company does not engage in sub-prime or other high-risk residential mortgage lending as a line-of-business.

The consumer indirect portfolio increased $28.9 million to $381.5 million as of June 30, 2010, from $352.6 million as of December 31, 2009. During the first six months of 2010 the Company originated $90.9 million in indirect auto loans with a mix of approximately 31% new auto and 69% used auto. This compares with $109.2 million in indirect loan auto originations with a mix of approximately 32% new auto and 68% used auto for the same period in 2009.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale (included in residential mortgage), totaled $908 thousand and $421 thousand as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The Company sells certain qualifying newly originated residential mortgages to the secondary market. Residential mortgages serviced for others totaled $338.8 million and $349.8 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and are not included in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The allowance for loan losses represents the estimated amount of probable credit losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company performs periodic, systematic reviews of the loan portfolio to estimate probable losses in the respective loan portfolios. In addition, the Company regularly evaluates prevailing economic and business conditions, industry concentrations, changes in the size and characteristics of the portfolio and other pertinent factors. The process used by the Company to determine the overall allowance for loan losses is based on this analysis. Based on this analysis the Company believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 2010.

- 32 -

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses involves substantial uncertainties and is based upon management’s evaluation of the amounts required to meet estimated charge-offs in the loan portfolio after weighing a variety of factors, including the risk-profile of the Company’s loan products and customers. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is subject to ongoing management review. While management evaluates currently available information in establishing the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review a financial institution’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the financial institution to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company does not engage in sub-prime or other high-risk residential mortgage lending as a line-of-business. The Company primarily originates fixed and variable rate one-to-four family residential mortgages collateralized by owner-occupied properties located within its central and western New York marketplace, which has been relatively stable in recent years. Residential mortgages collateralized by one-to-four family residential real estate generally have been originated in amounts of no more than 85% of appraised value or have mortgage insurance.

The provision for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the adjustment necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level representative of probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio. There were provisions for loan losses of $2.1 million and $2.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, compared with provisions of $2.1 million and $4.0 million for the corresponding periods in 2009, respectively. Net charge-offs decreased by $265 thousand and $690 thousand when comparing the three and six month periods of 2010 to the prior year, respectively. The decrease in net charge-offs in 2010 related principally to commercial loans.

Non-Performing Assets and Potential Problem Loans

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of the Company’s non-performing assets at the dates indicated. At each date presented there were no troubled debt restructurings (in thousands).


	Delinquent and Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets to total assets		0.58	%		0.51	%		0.69	%

Non-performing loans at June 30, 2010 were $11.4 million, an increase of $2.7 million from the $8.7 million balance at December 31, 2009. The increase in non-performing loans was largely attributable to the addition of a $5.0 million participation interest in one commercial loan. Despite being current with respect to principal and interest at June 30, 2010, the borrower is experiencing significant financial difficulty and may not be able to repay its outstanding debt. A $2.5 million specific reserve was allocated to this credit in the second quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2010 the Company collected substantially all of a $1.9 million commercial relationship included in accruing loans past due 90 days or more at December 31, 2009.

Non-performing assets include non-performing loans, foreclosed assets and non-performing investment securities. Non-performing assets at June 30, 2010 were $12.5 million, an increase of $2.1 million from the $10.4 million balance at December 31, 2009.

Foreclosed assets consist of real property properties formerly pledged as collateral to loans, which have been acquired by the Company through foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value, less selling costs. Foreclosed asset holdings represented 10 properties totaling $500 thousand at June 30, 2010 and 14 properties totaling $746 thousand at December 31, 2009.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Non-performing investment securities for which the Company has stopped accruing interest were $646 thousand at June 30, 2010, a decrease of $369 thousand from the $1.0 million balance at December 31, 2009. The decrease in non-performing investment securities reflects net losses, both realized and unrealized, in the Company’s asset backed securities portfolio.

The following table summarizes the Company’s over 60-day delinquent loans by type, excluding nonaccrual loans. The percentage of loans represents the balance of loans delinquent over 60 days as a ratio of total loans outstanding for that loan type (dollars in thousands).

Potential problem loans are loans that are currently performing, but information known about possible credit problems of the borrowers causes management to have concern as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan payment terms and may result in disclosure of such loans as non-performing at some time in the future. These loans remain in a performing status due to a variety of factors, including payment history, the value of collateral supporting the credits, and/or personal or government guarantees. Management considers loans classified as substandard, which continue to accrue interest, to be potential problem loans. The Company identified $12.8 million and $18.4 million in loans that continued to accrue interest which were classified as substandard as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Generally, loans and investment securities are placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due and/or management deem the collectibility of the principal and/or interest to be in question, as well as when required by regulatory requirements. Once interest accruals are discontinued, accrued but uncollected interest is charged to current year income. Subsequent receipts on nonaccrual assets are recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded only after principal recovery is reasonably assured.

Information regarding the activity in nonaccrual loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 is as follows (in thousands):


	Three months			Six months

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FUNDING ACTIVITIES

Deposits

The Company offers a broad array of deposit products including noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit. As of June 30, 2010, total deposits were $1.822 billion, an increase of $79.0 million in comparison to $1.743 billion as of December 31, 2009.

Nonpublic deposits represent the largest component of the Company’s funding. Total nonpublic deposits were $1.443 billion and $1.387 billion as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The Company continues to manage this segment of funding through a strategy of competitive pricing and relationship-based sales and marketing that minimizes the number of customer relationships that have only a single high-cost deposit account.

The Company offers a variety of public deposit products to the many towns, villages, counties and school districts within our market. Public deposits generally range from 20 to 25% of the Company’s total deposits. As of June 30, 2010, total public deposits were $378.5 million in comparison to $355.9 million as of December 31, 2009. There is a high degree of seasonality in this component of funding, as the level of deposits varies with the seasonal cash flows for these public customers. The Company maintains the necessary levels of short-term liquid assets and overnight lines of credit to accommodate the seasonality associated with public deposits.

Borrowings

The Company has credit capacity with the FHLB and can borrow through facilities that include an overnight line of credit, as well as amortizing and term advances. The Company’s primary borrowing source was FHLB advances and repurchase agreements, which amounted to $30.1 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The FHLB borrowings mature on various dates through 2011 and are classified as short-term or long-term in accordance with the original terms of the agreement. The Company had approximately $61 million of immediate credit capacity with FHLB as of June 30, 2010. The FHLB credit capacity is collateralized by securities from the Company’s investment portfolio and certain qualifying loans.

The Company had approximately $305 million in secured borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) Discount Window, of which none was outstanding at June 30, 2010. The FRB credit capacity is collateralized by securities from the Company’s investment portfolio and certain qualifying loans. During the first quarter, the Company repaid $9.4 million of Federal funds purchased and a $15.0 million advance from the Federal Reserve’s Term Auction Facility that were outstanding at December 31, 2009.

The Company also has Federal funds lines available from various commercial banks. There were $7.3 million in advances outstanding on these lines of credit as of June 30, 2010. The Company had approximately $87 million of unused credit capacity on these lines as of June 30, 2010. The Company also utilizes short-term retail repurchase agreements with customers as a source of funds. These short-term repurchase agreements amounted to $39.6 million and $35.1 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s borrowings as of June 30, 2010 (in thousands):


Federal funds purchased	$	7,300
Customer repurchase agreements		39,586
FHLB borrowings		30,066
Trust preferred subordinated debentures		16,702

Total borrowings	$	93,654

Equity Activities

Total shareholders’ equity amounted to $211.7 million as of June 30, 2010, an increase of $13.4 million from $198.3 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase in shareholders’ equity through the first six months ended June 30, 2010 resulted primarily from $16.5 million in comprehensive income, partially offset by $3.8 million in accrued and declared dividends.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the New York State Banking Department (“NYSBD”). At June 30, 2010, the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded all regulatory requirements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

The objective of maintaining adequate liquidity is to assure the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations. These obligations include the withdrawal of deposits on demand or at their contractual maturity, the servicing and repayment of debt and preferred equity obligations, the ability to fund new and existing loan commitments, to take advantage of new business opportunities and to satisfy other operating requirements. The Company achieves and manages liquidity by maintaining a strong base of core customer funds, maturing short-term assets, its ability to sell securities, lines of credit, and access to the financial and capital markets.

Liquidity for the Bank is managed through the monitoring of anticipated changes in loans, the investment portfolio, core deposits and wholesale funds. The strength of the Bank’s liquidity position is a result of its base of core customer deposits. These core deposits are supplemented by wholesale funding sources that include credit lines with the other banking institutions, the FHLB and the FRB.

The primary sources of liquidity for FII are dividends from the Bank and access to financial and capital markets. Dividends from the Bank are limited by various regulatory requirements related to capital adequacy and earnings trends. The Bank relies on cash flows from operations, core deposits, borrowings and short-term liquid assets. Five Star Investment Services relies on cash flows from operations and funds from FII when necessary.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $43.4 million as of June 30, 2010, relatively unchanged from December 31, 2009. The Company’s net cash provided by operating activities totaled $18.2 million. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $80.3 million, which included cash outflows of $28.2 million for net loan originations and $51.3 million from investment securities transactions. Net cash provided by financing activities of $62.5 million was attributed to a $79.0 million increase in deposits, offset against a $12.7 million decrease in net borrowings and $3.8 million in dividend payments.

Capital Resources

Banks and financial holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (all as defined in the regulations). These minimum amounts and ratios are included in the table below.

The Company’s and the Bank’s Tier 1 capital consists of shareholders’ equity excluding unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale (except for unrealized losses which have been determined to be other than temporary and recognized as expense in the consolidated statements of income), goodwill and other intangible assets and disallowed portions of deferred tax assets. Tier 1 capital for the Company includes, without limitation, $37.5 million of preferred stock issued to the U.S. Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”) through the Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) and, subject to limitation, $16.7 million of trust preferred securities issued by FISI Statutory Trust I and $17.5 million of preferred stock. The Company and the Bank’s total capital are comprised of Tier 1 capital for each entity plus a permissible portion of the allowance for loan losses.

The Tier 1 and total capital ratios are calculated by dividing the respective capital amounts by risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are calculated based on regulatory requirements and include total assets, excluding goodwill and other intangible assets and disallowed portions of deferred tax assets, allocated by risk weight category and certain off-balance-sheet items (primarily loan commitments and securities more than one level below investment grade that are subject to the low level exposure rules). The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted quarterly average total assets, which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets and disallowed portions of deferred tax assets.

Dividend Restrictions

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is dependent upon dividends from Five Star Bank to provide funds for the payment of interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures, dividends to shareholders and to provide for other cash requirements. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid. Approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. Approval is also required if dividends declared exceed the net profits for that year combined with the retained net profits for the preceding two years. The Bank is currently required to obtain approval from the NYS Banking Department for dividend payments.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company may not declare or pay any cash dividends on its common stock other than regular quarterly cash dividends of not more than $0.10 without the consent of the U.S. Treasury.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The principal objective of the Company’s interest rate risk management is to evaluate the interest rate risk inherent in certain assets and liabilities, determine the appropriate level of risk to the Company given its business strategy, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s management is responsible for reviewing with the Board its activities and strategies, the effect of those strategies on the net interest margin, the fair value of the portfolio and the effect that changes in interest rates will have on the portfolio and exposure limits. Management develops an Asset-Liability Policy that meets strategic objectives and regularly reviews the activities of the Bank.

The primary tool the Company uses to manage interest rate risk is a “rate shock” simulation to measure the rate sensitivity of the balance sheet. Rate shock simulation is a modeling technique used to estimate the impact of changes in rates on net interest income and economic value of equity. The Company measures net interest income at risk by estimating the changes in net interest income resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in interest rates of different magnitudes over a period of twelve months. This simulation is based on management’s assumption as to the effect of interest rate changes on assets and liabilities and assumes a parallel shift of the yield curve. It also includes certain assumptions about the future pricing of loans and deposits in response to changes in interest rates. Further, it assumes that delinquency rates would not change as a result of changes in interest rates, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. While this simulation is a useful measure as to net interest income at risk due to a change in interest rates, it is not a forecast of the future results and is based on many assumptions that, if changed, could cause a different outcome.

In addition to the changes in interest rate scenarios listed above, the Company typically runs other scenarios to measure interest rate risk, which vary depending on the economic and interest rate environments.

The Company has experienced no significant changes in market risk due to changes in interest rates since the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, dated March 12, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of June 30, 2010, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b), as adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
