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," "believe," "contemplate," "estimate," "expect," "foresee," "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 within this document. These forward looking statements are based on currently available financial, economic, and competitive data and manag ement's views and assumptions regarding future 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. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein. We must caution readers not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements.

Throughout this and other documents we prepare from time to time, we include our predictions (or "forward-looking information"). Of course, any discussion of the future is subject to many risks and uncertainties, and, while we seek ways to manage these risks and develop programs to control those we can, we ultimately cannot predict the future. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by our forward-looking statements. A number of these most significant risks and uncertainties affecting our business are enumerated below.

- 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 and public companies, including laws and regulations concerning taxes, accounting, auditing and reporting 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;

- The commission of fraud by customers and non-customers against the Company; and

- Our 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, 2004, 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-month period ended March 31 , 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. 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, 2004.

 

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 incentive stock option program for employees authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 48,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2004, all 48,000 options available have been granted. In 2004, the Board of Directors granted 6,567 non-qualified options to management under the Company's incentive compensation plan. 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 varying times up to 25 years. The options are fully vested.

 

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 period in 2004 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 was $67.50. 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:

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, effective in 2006, will change the accounting for stock options. Management has not quantified the impact of the change on the Company's financial condition or operations.

 

(3)   Dividends Per Share

 

The Board of Directors declared a semi-annual $2.85 per share dividend on common stock on January 12, 2005, to shareholders of record January 12, 2005, which was paid on February 1, 2005.

(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-month periods ended March 31, 2005, and 2004 follow (dollars in thousands, except share data):

The Company is organized into two reportable segments: (a) the Company and its banking subsidiaries (Bank), and (b) CNB Mortgage Company (CNBM). These have been segmented due to differences in their distribution channels, the volatility of their earnings, and internal and external financial reporting requirements. The interim period reportable segment information for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 follows. (dollars in thousands):

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

 

The following is our 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. This discussion and analysis supplements our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Critical Accounting Estimate

 

We are instructed, pursuant to SEC guidance, to evaluate and disclose those accounting estimates that we judge to be critical - those most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results, and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. We consider the Allowance for Loan Losses (Allowance) as critical given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to reflect credit losses in the portfolio. There has been no change in our methodology for estimating the Allowance, which is fully described within the 2004 Annual Report.

 

Overview

 

Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, was $2.7 million or $5.43 per diluted share and is slightly ahead of budget for the quarter, with the full year estimated at $20.19 per diluted share. The results for the quarter were $0.5 million or 23.9% higher than the same quarter in 2004. Total revenues increased $1.0 million over the same quarter last year, while expenses (loan loss, operating expenses and income taxes) rose $0.5 million.

 

The balance sheet grew a modest 2.3% from year-end 2004, but earning assets were shifted from lower yielding federal funds sold into securities and loans. Total deposits grew nearly $23.0 million or 2.6% from year end.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2005

 

At March 31, 2005, total assets were $997.5 million, up $22.8 million or 2.3% from $974.8 million at December 31, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents (cash, balances with other financial institutions, and federal funds sold) decreased $15.4 million to $56.6 million, mostly as a result of making loans to businesses and individuals and purchasing investment securities. The securities portfolios increased $12.1 million in total. Net loans increased $23.5 million to $693.4 million. We expect the growth in loans to continue throughout 2005 in concert with our recovering economy and our continued success in our marketplace. Loan growth in the first quarter of 2005 was ahead of our original annual projection of 10% and may slow down in future quarters. Reflecting our long-term risk management plans, we continued shifting our mix of loans, ending the quarter at 63% commercial to 37% consumer. All other assets increased modestly for the quarter.

 

Total deposits at March 31, 2005, were $900.1 million and were up $23.0 million from December 31, 2004. Substantially all of the net deposit growth for the quarter came from municipalities. This is a typical seasonal trend, whereby we see low consumer and business deposit growth in the first quarter of the year. Municipalities' total deposit balance (collateralized principally by held-to-maturity securities) increased approximately $24.5 million for the quarter, while consumer and business deposits fell $1.6 million. However, consumers and business shifted their deposits to demand accounts and time deposits from savings and money market, which reverses the trend we have experienced during the last several years. There was no material change in borrowings or other liabilities.

 

Net interest income increased $0.7 million or 8.3% for the quarter over the same quarter in 2004, reflecting the balance sheet's growth. The increase in interest income caused by the higher volume of earning assets was partially offset by the increase in interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Compared to the same quarter in 2004, the overall growth in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had a $1.1 million positive impact on net interest income, while the decrease in spread had $0.4 million negative impact.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, average interest-earning assets increased $86.5 million or 10.4% to $918.7 million from $832.2 million for the 2004 quarter. The tax-equivalent yields on these assets were 5.51% and 5.42%, respectively, with the increase resulting from the rise in market interest rates. For the same quarters, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $50.5 million or 7.1% to $767.5 million from $717.0 million. The costs of these liabilities were 1.47% and 1.23%, respectively, also reflecting market rate increases. As expected, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities rose more than the yield on earning assets, resulting in a lower interest rate spread and margin for the quarter.

The net effect of these yield and cost increases was a decreased spread of 15 basis points and a decreased net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets) of 7 basis points to 4.29% (net interest margin was 4.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2004). The difference between spread and margin reflects the contribution of non-interest-bearing deposits - 25 basis points in 2005 and 17 basis points in 2004 - which increased in 2005 due to both an increase in overall rates, and an increase in non-interest-bearing deposits. A higher proportion of non-interest-bearing deposits to total deposits is beneficial in higher rate conditions.

Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, improved 11.3% to $3.2 million from $2.9 million in 2004, driven mainly by a large increase in trust and investment services income. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 7.2% on growth in electronic banking services, mostly debit card transactions. Trust and investment services income increased $0.3 million for the quarter mostly as a result of growth in trust and estate management fees. These fees can fluctuate from period to period and are dependent upon the lifecycle of the trust or estate we are managing. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the average market value of assets under management increased 7.6% over the same quarter last year, and the book value, the measure of customer growth, improved 7.1% for the same period. As anticipated, net gain on the sale of mortgage loans declined from 2004 and was $0.1 million in 2005 versus $0.2 million then, caused by a nearly 15.0% decline in the total vo lume of closed loans and those sold to third parties. (See table below) We retained a higher percentage of originations in our portfolio, the income from which is reflected in interest income. This trend of a comparative lower volume of closed loans is likely to continue for the remainder of 2005, unless there is a sudden and large decrease in long-term interest rates. All other sources of income rose on growth in overall business volume.

Operating expenses increased 4.2% or $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, to $8.2 million versus $7.9 million for the 2004 quarter. Most of the increase came in two line items: (1) Salary and employee benefits, driven by higher deferred compensation accruals and (2) Other operating expenses, driven by higher third-party services.

 

The quarterly effective tax rate was to 27.9% in 2005 and 27.0% in 2004. The increase in the effective rate is attributable to an increase in the federal tax bracket due to our higher overall taxable income.

 

Liquidity

 

There has been no material change from December 31, 2004, in our available sources of wholesale liquidity from either the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we used $15.4 million in net cash and equivalents versus $24.6 million for the same period in 2004, with the change coming mainly from higher loan originations and securities purchases net of higher deposit growth.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.7 million in 2005, versus $0.2 million in 2004. Both the largest source and use of operating cash in 2005 and 2004 were loans held for sale. Activity in 2005 was significantly lower than in 2004 due to the end of the strong mortgage refinancing market. Excluding the effects of loans held for sale, operating activities provided $1.7 million of cash for the three months of 2005 versus $0.8 million for the same period of 2004.

 

Cash used by investing activities was $40.1 million in 2005 versus $27.8 million in 2004. Securities purchases and loan originations were substantially higher in 2005 than in 2004, as we invested cash inflows from deposits in these higher yield assets.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $21.0 million in 2005 versus $3.1 million in 2004. The main contributor in both years was deposit activity, with 2005's increase substantially higher than 2004's, when we experienced a (purposeful) net outflow in single-service time deposit customer accounts. These accounts tend to have a higher overall cost, tied to special rates and are generally more volatile as the account holders search for the highest rate in the market versus a long-term banking relationship.

 

For the remainder of 2005, 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 March 31, 2005, the Company and Bank are categorized as "well-capitalized." This is unchanged from December 31, 2004, and management anticipates no change in this classification for the foreseeable future.

The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, was 14.3% lower than the same period in 2004, mainly due to lower net charge-offs. The overall allowance, funded by the provision for loan losses, has increased in connection with the total loan portfolio. As discussed more fully in the Annual Report, we determine the amount necessary in the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors. Based on our current assessment of the loan portfolio, we believe the amount of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2005, is adequate at $7.4 million.

Though we had experienced an improvement in credit risk with impaired loans declining throughout 2004, this trend reversed in March 2005, when one $2.8 million commercial real-estate secured borrowing relationship was deemed by us to be impaired, as a result of its past-due payment status, and placed on non-accrual. We believe we will fully recover all amounts owed from the borrower. Because of this increase, impaired loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding increased to 1.57% at March 31, 2005, versus 1.21% at December 31, 2004. Interest income recognized on impaired loans during the periods was not material.

There were no troubled debt restructurings.

 

Total non-performing loans increased $2.5 million to $11.1 million at March 31, 2005, from $8.6 million at December 31, 2004, and was due to the relationship discussed in "Impaired Loans" above.

 

At March 31, 2005, other real estate owned consisted of one residential property totaling $0.1 million. We are actively pursuing its liquidation.

Contractual obligations

 

Less material, but a part of our 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 we presented in our Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

As we discussed in the 2004 Annual Report, in December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. The FASB's intent in issuing this statement was to provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Though we were originally required to apply Statement 123r in our 2005 third quarter, the Securities and Exchange Commission has changed the effective date, meaning we will implement the statement's provisions in the first quarter of 2006. Statement 123r covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, which include our stock option plan, phantom stock awards (PSA), and stock appreciation rights (SAR). It is a com plicated statement, and we are still evaluating the impact implementation will have on our financial statements.

 

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Asset / Liability Management Review

 

We measure 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 our Asset/Liability Committee to manage our interest rate risk profile. There have been no significant changes in market risk or interest rate gap from those disclosed in our 2004 Annual Report.

 

As you read in our annual report, we predicted market interest rates for 2005 to rise up to 100 basis points from their year-end values on the short end of the treasury yield curve (under 3 years) and 50 to 75 basis points at the middle- and long-end of the curve. Since December 2004, the two-year constant maturity treasury has risen nearly 75 basis points on average and the ten-year about 25 basis points following changes in our overall economy, and the Federal Open Market Committee's (FMOC) 50 basis point rise in the target federal funds rate.

Our asset yields should continue to rise in 2005 due to the reinvestment of maturing loans and principal repayments as well as new originations at generally higher rates than in 2004. We also believe the FMOC will continue to raise the target federal funds rate. Notwithstanding increasing yields, liability costs will rise faster and greater than assets yields, coming off of historically low rates. This will continue to compress both net interest spread and net interest margin. To offset this compression and grow profitability, earning asset balances will need to grow faster than interest-bearing liabilities.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2005, 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.

Also, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2005, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
