Material Changes vs. Prior Period

- Assets: Total assets declined 1.3% ($6.4 million) from the beginning of the year as the company assimilated acquired branches.
- Loans: Total loans increased 3.1% ($7.6 million) in the quarter and 6.9% ($16.4 million) year-to-date, driven by growth in commercial and auto loans.
- Deposits: Total deposits decreased 2.7% ($11.7 million) from year-end 1994. Management noted a distortion in March balances due to temporary state aid deposits by local school districts.
- Securities: The "Available for Sale" portfolio decreased to $157.7 million from $189.1 million at year-end. Lower interest rates increased the unrealized gain valuation allowance to $4.9 million.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Acquisition Integration: The company is actively assimilating operations from the Owego National Bank and three RTC branches. Goodwill from the Owego acquisition ($2.7 million) and core deposit intangibles ($5.5 million) are being amortized over 15 years.
- Asset Quality: Management views the loan loss reserve as adequate (343% of non-performing loans). Impaired loans totaled $642,915, with $491,450 carrying a specific allowance of $252,370.
- Accounting Changes: The company adopted SFAS No. 114 and 118 regarding loan impairment on January 1, 1995. The adoption was not material to the financial statements.
- Capital Position: Leverage ratio improved to 7.99% from 7.51% at the start of the year. Tier I and Total Risk Adjusted Capital ratios remain well above regulatory minimums.
- Share Count: Earnings per share growth was partially diluted by 197,000 additional shares issued in connection with the Owego acquisition.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Deposit Stability: Verify the trend of deposit balances excluding the one-time $25 million state aid distortion noted in March.
- Loan Growth Quality: Confirm the composition of the $16.4 million loan growth, specifically the mix of commercial vs. auto loans.
- Intangible Amortization: Monitor the impact of $2.7 million goodwill and $5.5 million core deposit intangible amortization on future earnings.
- Securities Valuation: Track the "Available for Sale" portfolio valuation allowance, which swung from a $295k loss to a $4.9M gain due to interest rate trends.
- Non-Performing Loans: Review the specific details of the $642,915 in impaired loans and the adequacy of the $252,370 specific allowance.
