Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 28, 2011, management of Evans Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") met with investors and discussed the Company’s performance and strategic outlook. Among the items noted by management were the following:

• Management believes that it has enough capital to sustain organic growth for the foreseeable future.

• If the Company were to participate in the HSBC branch divestiture it would be at a level that would not require an additional capital raise.

• Management expects two to three basis points of contraction per quarter in the Company’s net interest margin for the next several quarters.

• Management expects organic loan growth to continue, particularly in its commercial and industrial loan portfolio, but at a lesser rate than experienced in the third quarter of 2011. They also expect organic growth in deposits to continue to be strong.

• Management has not seen any negative systemic trends in the Company’s credit quality.
