Forward-Looking Statements and Business Risks

This report, including information incorporated by reference, contains, and future filings by Canandaigua National Corporation on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and future oral and written statements, press releases, and letters to shareholders by Canandaigua National Corporation and its management may contain, certain "forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used or incorporated by reference in the Company's disclosures and documents, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "target," "goal," "budget" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks discussed below. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available financial, economic, and competitive data and management's views and assumptions regarding futur e events. These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, so should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected, projected, targeted, or budgeted. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectation with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Accordingly, management cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

The important factors discussed below, as well as other factors discussed within this document and future filings, and those presented elsewhere by management from time to time, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this document. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements are:

- The strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economy in particular; general economic conditions, either nationally or locally could be less favorable than expected, resulting in, for example, a deterioration in credit quality of assets;

- The effects of and changes in United States trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including and most importantly the interest rate policy of the Federal Reserve Board, which can have an immediate and significant impact on earnings;

- The impact of changes in laws and regulations governing financial services, including laws and regulations concerning taxes and accounting standards;

- The impact of technological changes;

- The development of new products, their competitiveness and their acceptance by customers;

- Changes in commercial and consumer spending and saving habits; and

- The Company's success in managing these risks.

CANANDAIGUA NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1)   Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Such principles are applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in the December 31, 2003, Form 10-K Report of the Company filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Management has prepared the financial information included herein without audit by independent certified public accountants. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 20 04, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Amounts in prior periods' condensed consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year's presentation.

(2)   Stock Option Plan

 

The Company's Stock Option Plan authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 48,000 shares of common stock. In 2004, the Board of Directors granted 6,567 non-qualified options to management under the Company's incentive compensation plan (8,142 in 2003). The options were granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the common stock on the grant date. The options are exercisable at times varying from two years to twenty-six years. The options are fully vested and have a maximum term of one year following the holder's retirement. With this grant, all 48,000 options available have been granted.

 

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock option plan, and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed-award stock options in the condensed consolidated statement of income. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant date of the stock options using valuation models consistent with the approach of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share for the year-to-date periods in 2004 and 2003 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (net income in thousands):

The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2004 and 2003 was $67.50 and $31.74, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

(3)   Dividends Per Share

 

The Company declared a semi-annual $2.70 per share dividend on common stock on July 14, 2004, to shareholders of record July 14, 2004, which was paid on August 2, 2004. The Company also declared a semi-annual $2.60 per share dividend on common stock on January 14, 2004, to shareholders of record January 14, 2004, which was paid on February 2, 2004.

(4)   Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the maximum dilutive effect of stock issueable upon conversion of stock options. Calculations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, and 2003 follow (dollars in thousands, except share data):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Management's discussion and analysis supplements management's discussion and analysis contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Overview

 

Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, was $4.9 million or $9.81 per share and is ahead budget, with the full year budgeted at $18.29 per share. The results for the year to date were only $0.3 million or 5.3% lower than the same period in 2003, considering gains on sale of mortgage loans are off $1.3 million from 2003, following the end of the three-year mortgage refinance boom. Growth in core franchise revenue, net interest income, was 3.8%, but was offset by a 41.1% increase in provision for loan losses, which is consistent with provisioning normally accompanying growth of the Company's loan portfolio. Total revenues (net interest income before provision and non-interest income) are nearly the same year on year. Non-interest expenses increased in 2004 by about 3.2%, mostly in salaries and employee benefits.

 

The balance sheet grew modestly from year-end 2003, but earning assets were shifted from lower yielding federal funds sold into securities and loans. Deposits also increased with the mix continuing to trend to savings and money market from time.

Critical Accounting Estimate

 

The Company's management is encouraged, pursuant to SEC guidance, to evaluate and disclose those accounting estimates that are judged to be critical -- those most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results, and that require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. Management considers the Allowance for Loan Losses (Allowance) as critical given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the amount of the allowance required to reflect credit losses in the portfolio. There has been no change in the Company's methodology for estimating the Allowance, which is fully described within the 2003 Annual Report.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2004

 

At June 30, 2004, total assets of the Company were $925.7 million, up $13.8 million or 1.5% from $911.9 million at March 31, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents (cash, balances with other financial institutions, and federal funds sold) decreased $16.8 million to $52.3 million, as a result of security purchases and loan originations. The securities portfolios increased $2.7 million in total, with most growth in the available-for-sale category. This category is used to manage current liquidity and short to medium term interest rate risk. The market value of securities available-for-sale declined approximately 3% during the quarter in reaction to an increase in the Treasury yield curve overall and fed funds rate in particular. Management has identified no evidence of other-than-temporary impairment in the portfolio. Net loans increased $27.8 million to $641.1 million. Portfolios showing the greatest increase were commercial and consumer, both of which management expects will con tinue to grow through the remainder of 2004 as economic conditions improve and demand for credit by consumers and businesses increases. If loan demand is not as robust as the growth in deposits, securities may be purchased or federal funds sold.

 

Total deposits at June 30, 2004, were $835.3 million and were up $13.0 million from March 31, 2004. On March 1, 2004, the Bank opened its newest branch in Penfield, New York. This and the Brighton Office, opened in December 2002, contributed $7.3 million of the quarter's net deposit growth. Municipalities' total deposit balance (collateralized by securities) decreased approximately $16.4 million for the quarter. These deposits are expected to further decline during the summer, but increase again in September and October as state aid payments and tax collections resume. Overall deposit growth during the quarter continued to come in core interest-bearing accounts (checking, savings and money market), with some increase in non-interest bearing demand, as well. Consumers and businesses continue to shy away from time deposits, given their current relatively low yields. Additionally, management's tiered pricing of time deposits is focused on offering higher rates to customers in the "choice" packages, thereby reducing the number of and balances in single-product customer accounts. As interest rates rise, management anticipates some customer balances to migrate back to time deposits. There was no material change in borrowings or other liabilities.

 

Net interest income improved 6.8% for the quarter over the same quarter in 2003. This increase was almost entirely due to the decrease in funding costs, caused by continued downward pricing of deposits. The higher volume of interest-earning assets was offset by a decline in their yield, while the higher volume of interest-bearing deposits had little impact. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, average interest-earning assets increased $80.2 million to $860.1 million from $779.9 million for the 2003 quarter. The tax-equivalent yields on these assets were 5.37% and 5.95%, respectively, with the decrease resulting from the decline in market interest rates. For the same periods, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $59.2 million to $736.8 million from $677.6 million. The costs of these liabilities were 1.15% and 1.62%, respectively, reflecting management's continued efforts to lower deposit costs in connection with market rate declines. The net effect of these yie ld and cost decreases was a decreased spread of 11 basis points and a decreased net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets) of 15 basis points to 4.39% (net interest margin was 4.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2003). The difference between spread and margin reflects the contribution of non-interest-bearing deposits - 16 basis points in 2004 and 21 basis points in 2003 - which dropped in 2004 due to continued interest rate compression. The growth in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had a $0.8 million positive impact on net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, while the decrease in spread had $0.1 million negative impact on net interest income as compared to the same quarter of 2003.

 

As noted in previous reports, management anticipates a continued decline in asset yields in 2004 due to loan repricings and maturities and a rising interest rate environment for the remainder of the year. The Federal Open Market Committee (FMOC) began raising the federal funds target rate in June 2004 by 25 basis points (1/4%). Management believes additional interest rate hikes will occur before year end. Refer to Interest Rate Sensitivity and Asset / Liability Management Review section for additional discussion.

Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, declined to $3.2 million from $3.6 million in 2003. Service charges on deposit accounts remained steady despite an increase in total accounts as newer product offerings -- "CNB Options" -- and higher balances provided customers more fee waiver opportunities, particularly with ATM surcharges. Trust income grew $0.1 million for the quarter as a result of an improvement in market value of assets under administration. The market value at June 30, 2004, exhibited a 13.2% improvement from June 30, 2003; and the book value, the measure of customer growth, improved 6.0% for the same period. Income from mortgage servicing increased $0.1 million on an increase in residential mortgage loans serviced for others to $305.2 million at June 30, 2004, from $246.4 million at June 30, 2003. Net gain on the sale of mortgage loans was $0.4 million in 2004 versus $1.1 million in 2003 caused by a nearly 60% decline in volume of closed loan s. This trend is likely to continue for the remainder of 2004, unless there is a sudden and large decrease in long-term interest rates. CNB Mortgage closed the following types of loans for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in thousands):

Non-interest expenses increased 1.4% or $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, to $8.1 million versus $8.0 million for the 2003 quarter. There were no substantial changes in any particular line item, year over year, reflecting a decline of the higher expense growth rates in previous years from the Company's rapid expansion.

 

The Company's quarterly effective tax rate declined to 24.7% in 2004 from 30.3% in 2003 as a result of the combination of higher non-taxable interest income and lower overall taxable income.

Six months ended June 30, 2004

 

At June 30, 2004, total assets of the Company were up $17.9 million or 2.0% from $907.8 million at December 31, 2003. Cash and cash equivalents (cash, balances with other financial institutions, and federal funds sold) decreased $41.3 million to $52.3 million, as a result of security purchases and loan originations. The securities portfolios increased $13.3 million in total. Net loans increased $45.2 million to $641.1 million. Total deposits at June 30, 2004, were up $17.2 million from December 31, 2003.

 

Net interest income improved 3.8% for the six-month period in 2004 over the same period in 2003. This increase was a result of net volume growth exceeding the net reduction in spread caused by continued downward pricing of investments, loans and deposits. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, average interest earning assets increased $79.7 million to $848.0 million from $768.3 million for the 2003 period. The tax-equivalent yields on these assets were 5.38% and 6.12%, respectively, with the decrease resulting from the decline in market interest rates. For the same periods, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $60.8 million to $728.8 million from $668.0 million. The costs of these liabilities were 1.18% and 1.69%, respectively, reflecting management's continued efforts to lower deposit costs in connection with market rate declines. The net effect of these yield and cost decreases was a decreased spread of 23 basis points and a decreased net interest margin (ta x-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets) of 29 basis points to 4.36% (net interest margin was 4.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2003). The difference between spread and margin reflects the contribution of non-interest-bearing deposits - 16 basis points in 2004 and 22 basis points in 2003 - which dropped in 2004 due to continued interest rate compression. The growth in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had a $1.9 million positive impact on net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, while the decrease in spread had $1.3 million negative impact on net interest income as compared to the same period of 2003.

 

Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, declined to $6.1 million from $6.7 million in 2003. Service charges on deposit accounts increased due to growth in total accounts, offset by fee waiver opportunities afforded by "CNB Options" and higher account balances. Trust income grew $0.2 million for the period as a result of improvement in market value of assets under administration. Income from mortgage servicing increased $0.2 million on an increase in residential mortgage loans serviced for others. Net gain on the sale of mortgage loans was $0.6 million in 2004 versus $1.9 million in 2003 caused by the decline in volume of closed loans. As noted above, this trend is likely to continue for the remainder of 2004. CNB Mortgage closed the following types of loans for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in thousands).

Non-interest expenses increased 3.2% or $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, over the same period in 2003. Excluding salaries and benefits, which rose $0.3 million, non-interest expenses were generally flat year on year, reflecting a decline of the higher expense growth rates in previous years from the Company's rapid expansion. The increase in salary and benefits came from an increase in full-time equivalent staff, principally from the opening of the Penfield Office and the filling of vacant positions.

 

The Company's effective tax rate for the year to date in 2004 declined to 25.7% from 30.5% in 2003. The reasons are noted in the quarter-to-date discussion above.

 

Liquidity

 

There has been no material change from December 31, 2003, in the Company's available sources of liquidity from either the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company used $41.3 million in net cash and equivalents versus generating $32.1 million for the same period in 2003, with the change coming mainly from higher loan originations and securities purchases in 2004.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 million in 2004, versus $3.8 million in 2003. Both the largest source and use of operating cash in 2004 and 2003 were loans held for sale. Activity in 2004 was significantly lower than in 2003 due to the end of the strong mortgage refinancing market. Excluding the effects of loans held for sale, operating activities provided $4.6 million of cash for the first six months of 2004 versus $5.8 million for the same period of 2003.

 

Cash used by investing activities was $58.5 million in 2004 versus $5.3 million in 2003. Both securities purchases and loan originations were substantially higher in 2004 than in 2003, as management invested cash inflows from deposits in these higher-yielding assets rather than in lower-yielding federal funds sold. Most of the securities growth was in the available-for-sale category, providing greater liquidity should the need arise to fund more loans or deposit outflows. About half of the net loan originations was for commercial purposes, and the other half for consumer purposes.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $16.1 million in 2004 versus $33.6 million in 2003. The main contributor in both years was deposit activity, with 2004's increase roughly half of 2003's, reflecting the maturity of some markets.

 

For the remainder of 2004, cash for growth is expected to come primarily from customer sources. Customer deposit growth is mainly expected to come from Monroe County sources.

 

 

Capital Resources

 

Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, as of June 30, 2004, the Company and Bank are categorized as "well-capitalized." This is unchanged from December 31, 2003, and management anticipates no change in this classification for the foreseeable future.

The provision for loan losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, was 41.1% higher than the same period in 2003. While net-charge-offs were lower in 2004 than in 2003, the total loan portfolio increased in 2004, leading to an increase in the allowance which was funded by the provision for loan losses. As discussed more fully in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, management determines the amount necessary in the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors. Management, based on its assessment of the loan portfolio, believes the amount of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2004, is adequate at $6.8 million. In order to be at that amount, provisions are charged to the income statement, and these amounts will vary from period to period, including this six month period.

 

The increase in the allowance for loan losses from $6.2 million at June 30, 2003, to $6.8 million at June 30, 2004, is due mainly to overall loan portfolio growth. Improvements in the portfolio's quality, as evidenced by the decrease in non-performing loans, principally commercial loans, has led to an improvement in the ratio of allowance to non-performing loans.

The Company has no troubled debt restructurings.

 

Total non-performing loans decreased $0.7 million to $9.4 million at June 30, 2004, from $10.1 million at December 31, 2003, and was due to repayment of loans. Total non-performing loans decreased over the twelve-month period by $1.4 million.

 

At June 30, 2004, other real estate owned consisted of one commercial property totaling $0.4 million. The Company continues to actively pursue liquidation of the property.

Contractual obligations

 

Less material, but a part of the Company's ongoing operations, and expected to be funded through normal operations, are liquidity uses such as lease obligations, long-term debt repayments, and other funding commitments. There has been no material change from the information presented in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Asset / Liability Management Review

 

The Company models net interest income at risk by estimating the changes in net interest income resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in interest rates of plus or minus 200 basis points over a twelve-month period. This provides a basis or benchmark for the Company's Asset/Liability Committee to manage the Company's interest rate risk profile. There have been no significant changes in market risk or interest rate gap from those disclosed in the Company's 2003 Form 10-K.

 

For the remainder of 2004, management projects a rising interest rate environment as the economy shows continued signs of recovery, and the Federal Open Market Committee reduces its accommodative monetary policy. Management's measurement indicates a 5% annualized in net interest income using the model discussed above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2004, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during this fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

   Changes in Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of Canandaigua National Corporation, management and employees were all saddened by the sudden and unexpected death of our Chairman, David Hamlin, Jr. (61) on June 10, 2004.  He was addressing our Employees' Award Dinner at the time. He had started his remarks by saying, "Before I say a few words about banking for fun and profit...I think it appropriate that I thank all of tonight's award recipients for their years of dedicated and fruitful service, and I express this appreciation on behalf of the Board of Directors and all of our Shareholders." David above all was a great leader, decorated fighter pilot, farmer, public servant, husband, father, and cousin.  We all join his family in celebrating his life, accomplishments and value as a human being of great consequence.  He was exceedingly proud of the Company and what has been accomplished. He would have us honor his memory by simply carrying on as we have been and having some fun as we d o so.

 

James S. Fralick was unanimously voted Chairman until the next shareholders' meeting in 2005 at the Board of Directors meeting held on July 14, 2004

 

Frank H. Hamlin, III, son of George W. Hamlin, IV, was also unanimously elected at this same Board meeting as a director to serve the remainder of David Hamlin, Jr.'s term until 2006. Mr. Frank H. Hamlin, III is 31 years old and is an attorney in Canandaigua, New York.

 

Thomas S. Richards, age 61, former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of RGS Energy Group, Inc., and Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation and most recently Chairman of Greater Rochester Enterprise, was unanimously elected as a director to serve a term until 2005 by the Executive Committee of Board of Directors on July 27, 2004.
