Collateralized debt obligation | A structured financial product that pools together cash flow-generating assets, such as mortgages, bonds, and loans.
Collateralized mortgage obligations | A type of mortgage-backed security with principal repayments organized according to their maturities and into different classes based on risk. The mortgages serve as collateral and are organized into classes based on their risk profile.
Dodd-Frank Act | The Dodd-Frank Act was enacted on July 21, 2010 and significantly changed the bank regulatory landscape and has impacted and will continue to impact the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new rules and regulations, and to prepare various studies and reports for Congress.

Pre-provision profit/(loss) | Represents total net revenue less noninterest expense, before income tax expense (benefit). The Corporation believes that this financial measure is useful in assessing the ability of a bank to generate income in excess of its provision for credit losses.
RWA | Risk-weighted assets consist of on- and off-balance sheet assets that are assigned to one of several broad risk categories and weighted by factors representing their risk and potential for default. On-balance sheet assets are risk-weighted based on the perceived credit risk associated with the obligor or counterparty, the nature of any collateral, and the guarantor, if any. Off-balance sheet assets such as lending-related commitments, guarantees, derivatives and other applicable off-balance sheet positions are risk-weighted by multiplying the contractual amount by the appropriate credit conversion factor to determine the on-balance sheet credit equivalent amount, which is then risk-weighted based on the same factors used for on-balance sheet assets. Risk-weighted assets also incorporate a measure for market risk related to applicable trading assets-debt and equity instruments. The resulting risk-weighted values for each of the risk categories are then aggregated to determine total risk-weighted assets.
SBA loan pools | Business loans partially guaranteed by the SBA.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase | Sale of securities together with an agreement for the seller to buy back the securities at a later date.
TDR | A TDR is deemed to occur when the Corporation modifies the original terms of a loan agreement by granting a concession to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty.

WMG | Provides services as executor and trustee under wills and agreements, and guardian, custodian, trustee and agent for pension, profit-sharing and other employee benefit trusts, as well as various investment, financial planning, pension, estate planning and employee benefit administration services.

CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank and CFS, provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary and other financial services to its clients. The Corporation and the Bank are subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
CRM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, which was formed and began operations on May 31, 2016, is a Nevada-based captive insurance company which insures against certain risks unique to the operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today's insurance marketplace. CRM pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves. CRM is subject to regulations of the State of Nevada and undergoes periodic examinations by the Nevada Division of Insurance.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act. These financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Amounts in the prior periods' consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been included. The unconsolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.
Reclassifications
Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders' equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires companies that lease valuable assets to recognize on their balance sheets the assets and liabilities generated by contracts longer than a year. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, though early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt the new lease guidance as of January 1, 2019 and is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of these updates will have on its consolidated financial statements. Currently, the Corporation believes the implementation of this ASU will create a right of use asset of less than $10.0 million for the Corporation's 15 leased facilities and a related capital obligation of the same amount as of January 1, 2019.
12

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The objective of the ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to form credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, though entities may adopt the amendments earlier for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. The Corporation anticipates that the adoption of the CECL model will result in an increase to the Corporation's allowance for loan losses. The Corporation has established a committee to oversee the implementation of CECL and has selected a vendor to assist in the implementation process. In 2018 the committee plans to begin establishing parameters which will be used in the CECL model with the selected vendor. The Corporation further plans to run its current incurred loss model and a CECL model concurrently for twelve months prior to the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2020.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The objective of the ASU is to simplify the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Additionally, the ASU removes the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails such qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual, or any interim, goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The objective of the ASU is to align the amortization period of premiums and discounts to expectations incorporated in market pricing on the underlying securities. The amendment requires that the premium be amortized to the earliest call date, but does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
On December 31, 2017, the Corporation elected for early adoption of ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASC 220"). The objective of ASC 220 was to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act passed in December 2017. Adoption of ASC 220 eliminated the stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the revaluation of the net deferred tax asset. Results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017 were presented in accordance with ASC 220, with a reclassification of $1.8 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The adoption of ASC 220 did not result in any adjustments during the first quarter of 2018 and the Corporation does not expect any adjustments going forward.
On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, "ASC 606"), which (1) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and (2) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial assets, such as other real estate owned. The majority of the Corporation's revenues come from interest income and other sources, including loans, leases, securities, and derivatives, that are outside the scope of ASC 606. The Corporation's services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within Non-interest income and are recognized as revenue as the Corporation satisfies its obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include deposit service charges on deposits, interchange income, wealth management fees, investment brokerage fees, and the sale of other real estate owned. Refer to Note 10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further discussion on the Corporation's accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.
The Corporation adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with legacy GAAP. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a change to the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded.
13

On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-01, an amendment to Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASC 825"). The objectives of the ASC 825 were (1) require equity investments to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (2) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, (3) eliminate the requirement to disclose methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (4) require the use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments, and (5) clarify the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.
The Corporation adopted ASC 825 using the modified retrospective method applied to equity investments as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 825, with comparable consolidated balance sheets also reported. The adjustments to opening retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the adoption of ASC 825 and are immaterial to the financial statements.
On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASC 230"). The objective of ASC 230 was to reduce the existing diversity in practice relating to eight specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principal. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 230, while prior periods amounts continue to be reported in accordance with legacy GAAP. The adoption of ASC 230 did not result in a change to how the Corporation accounts for its cash flows.
On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASC 715"). The objective of ASC 715 was to improve guidance related to the presentation of defined benefit costs in the income statement. Specifically, ASC 715 required that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item(s) as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Additionally, ASC 715 allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization, when applicable. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 715, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with legacy GAAP, with comparable periods presented retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement. The Corporation elected the practical expedient, which permits employers to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation for applying retrospective presentation requirements.
NOTE 2 EARNING PER COMMON SHARE (shares in thousands)
Basic earnings per share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Issuable shares, including those related to directors’ restricted stock units and directors’ stock compensation, are considered outstanding and are included in the computation of basic earnings per share. All outstanding unvested share based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation. Restricted stock awards are grants of participating securities and are considered outstanding at grant date. Earnings per share information is adjusted to present comparative results for stock splits and stock dividends that occur. Earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by 4,822 and 4,790 weighted average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There were no common stock equivalents during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 or 2017.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
As of March 31, 2018, the majority of the Corporation’s unrealized losses in the investment securities portfolio related to mortgage-backed securities. At March 31, 2018, all of the unrealized losses related to mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. government sponsored entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because it is not likely that the Corporation will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2018.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:
A modification of a loan may result in classification as a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Corporation offers various types of modifications which may involve a change in the schedule of payments, a reduction in the interest rate, an extension of the maturity date, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, requesting additional collateral, releasing collateral for consideration, substituting or adding a new borrower or guarantor, a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan or a permanent reduction of the interest on the loan.
As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Corporation has a recorded investment in TDRs of $7.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively. There were specific reserves of $0.5 million and $0.7 million allocated for TDRs at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, TDRs totaling $1.5 million were accruing interest under the modified terms and $5.8 million were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2017, TDRs totaling $1.7 million were accruing interest under the modified terms and $6.0 million were on non-accrual status. The Corporation had committed no additional amounts as of both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs.
During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the terms of certain loans were modified as TDRs. The modification of the terms of one commercial & industrial term loan during the three months ended March 31, 2018 included an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. The modification of the terms of one commercial mortgage loan during the three months ended March 31, 2017 included a reduction of the scheduled amortized payments of the loan for greater than a three month period.

The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs that occurred during the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 (dollars in thousands):

Total |  | 1 |  |  | $ | 166 |  |  | $ | 166 |

The TDRs described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses and resulted in no charge-offs during the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no payment defaults on any loans previously modified as TDRs within twelve months following the modification during the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Corporation establishes a risk rating at origination for all commercial loans. The main factors considered in assigning risk ratings include, but are not limited to: historic and future debt service coverage, collateral position, operating performance, liquidity, leverage, payment history, management ability, and the customer’s industry. Commercial relationship managers monitor all loans in their respective portfolios for any changes in the borrower’s ability to service its debt and affirm the risk ratings for the loans at least annually.
For the retail loans, which include residential mortgages, indirect and direct consumer loans, home equity lines and loans, and credit cards, once a loan is properly approved and closed, the Corporation evaluates credit quality based upon loan repayment.
The Corporation uses the risk rating system to identify criticized and classified loans. Commercial relationships within the criticized and classified risk ratings are analyzed quarterly. The Corporation uses the following definitions for criticized and classified loans (which are consistent with regulatory guidelines):
Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capability of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
22

Commercial loans not meeting the criteria above to be considered criticized or classified are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans performing under terms of the loan notes. Based on the analyses performed as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the risk category of the recorded investment of loans by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

At the time of the merger with Fort Orange Financial Corp., the Corporation identified certain loans with evidence of deteriorated credit quality, and the probability that the Corporation would be unable to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower. These loans were classified as PCI loans. The Corporation previously adjusted its estimates of future expected losses, cash flows, and renewal assumptions on the PCI loans. These adjustments were made for changes in expected cash flows due to loans refinanced beyond original maturity dates, impairments recognized subsequent to the acquisition, advances made for taxes or insurance to protect collateral held and payments received in excess of amounts originally expected. During the first quarter of 2018, management determined that the disclosure of PCI loans was no longer material and will analyze these loans as part of the overall impairment process going forward.
NOTE 5 FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value on a recurring basis:
Available for Sale Securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are usually determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs), or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3 inputs).
Equity Investments: Securities that are held to fund a deferred compensation plan and securities that have a readily determinable fair market value, are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. The fair values of equity investments are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).
Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value have been partially charged-off or receive specific allocations as part of the allowance for loan loss accounting. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, typically resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.
OREO: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosures are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and OREO are performed by certified general appraisers (commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Corporation. Once received, appraisals are reviewed for reasonableness of assumptions, approaches utilized, Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and other regulatory compliance, as well as the overall resulting fair value
25

in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Appraisals are generally completed within the previous 12 month period prior to a property being placed into OREO. On impaired loans, appraisal values are adjusted based on the age of the appraisal, the position of the lien, the type of the property and its condition.
Derivatives: The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2 inputs). Derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices, and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The Corporation also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counter-party's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Corporation has considered the impact of any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings. Although the Corporation has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize credit default rate assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

The Corporation enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase and the amounts received under these agreements represent borrowings and are reflected as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The securities underlying these agreements are included in investment securities in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Corporation has no control over the market value of the securities which fluctuate due to market conditions, however, the Corporation is obligated to promptly transfer additional securities if the market value of the securities falls below the repurchase agreement price. The Corporation manages this risk by utilizing highly marketable and easily priced securities, monitoring these securities for significant changes in market valuation routinely, and maintaining an unpledged securities portfolio believed to be sufficient to cover a decline in the market value of the securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Corporation is a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk such as commitments under standby letters of credit, unused portions of lines of credit, overdraft protection and commitments to fund new loans. In accordance with GAAP, these financial instruments are not recorded in the financial statements. The Corporation's policy is to record such instruments when funded. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are generally used by the Corporation to manage clients' requests for funding and other client needs.
32

The following table lists the contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

On March 23, 2016, the Bank received a summons and complaint for an action brought in the State of New York Supreme Court for the County of Tompkins, regarding its lease of 202 East State Street, Ithaca, NY, a branch location which the Bank had vacated. The owner of the leased premises has alleged that the Bank has breached its contract and is requesting a judgment declaring that the term of the lease runs through December 31, 2025 or a judgment in his favor in the amount of $4.0 million. The Bank has denied that it breached the contract. On July 25, 2016, the Corporation received Notice of Entry of the decision and order of the New York Supreme Court for the County of Tompkins, involving claims by the owner of the leased premises at 202 East State Street, Ithaca, New York against the Bank. The Court granted, in part, partial summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff - on the issue of liability only- for anticipatory breach and breach of contract. The fraud claims were dismissed, and summary judgment was denied on the plaintiff’s trespass claims. The Court set the matter down for an inquest on damages at a later date, with the original claim by the plaintiff seeking $4.0 million in damages. The Corporation established a legal reserve of $1.2 million in connection with this case during the second quarter of 2016.
Subsequent to an appeal of the lower court determination, which was perfected in the Appellate Division, Third Department of State Supreme Court, on June 29, 2017, the Bank received Notice of Entry of the decision and Order of that Court which affirmed the lower court’s decision in favor of the plaintiff with damages to be determined at a later proceeding. The Bank established an additional legal reserve in the amount of $850 thousand, in connection with this case, during the second quarter of 2017. The Bank’s total reserve with respect to this matter now stands at $2.3 million, including $0.2 million accrued for related expenses not yet paid. A motion to the Appellate Division for reargument or permission for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals was filed and denied during the fourth quarter of 2017. The parties have agreed to mediate the question of damages with an independent mediator with a scheduled date of May 30, 2018.
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding claims and legal proceedings involving the Corporation or its subsidiaries. Except for the above matter, we believe that we are not a party to any pending legal, arbitration, or regulatory proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our financial results or liquidity.

(b) The Corporation elected the modified retrospective approach of adoption; therefore, prior period balances are presented under legacy GAAP and may not be comparable to current year presentation.
(c) The Holding Company, CFS, and CRM column above includes amounts to eliminate transactions between segments.
A description of the Corporation's revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts: The Corporation earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which included services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Corporation fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are recognized at the time the maintenance occurs. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.
35

Interchange Income from Debit Card Transactions: The Corporation earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through the Mastercard payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to cardholder.
WMG Fee Income (Gross): The Corporation earns wealth management fees from its contracts with trust customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to transact on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Corporation provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management (AUM) at quarter-end.
CFS Fee and Commission Income (Net): The Corporation earns fees from investment brokerage services provided to its customers by a third-party service provider. The Corporation receives commissions from the third-party service provider on a monthly basis based upon customer activity for the month. The Corporation (i) acts as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider and (ii) does not control the services rendered to the customers. Investment brokerage fees are presented net of related costs. The Corporation also earns fees from tax services provided to its customers.
Net Gains/Losses on Sales of OREO: The Corporation records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Corporation finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Corporation assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Corporation adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.

NOTE 12 SEGMENT REPORTING
The Corporation manages its operations through two primary business segments: core banking and WMG. The core banking segment provides revenues by attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate consumer, commercial, commercial real estate, and residential mortgage loans, primarily in the Corporation’s local markets, and to invest in securities. The WMG services segment provides revenues by providing trust and investment advisory services to clients.
Accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Corporation’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 8, 2018. Summarized financial information concerning the Corporation’s reportable segments and the reconciliation to the Corporation’s consolidated results are shown in the following table. Income taxes are allocated based on the separate taxable income of each entity and indirect overhead expenses are allocated based on reasonable and equitable allocations applicable to the reportable segment.

NOTE 13 STOCK COMPENSATION
Board of Directors' Stock Compensation
Pursuant to the Corporation's Directors' Compensation Plan, members of the Board of Directors receive common shares of the Corporation equal in value to the amount of fees individually earned during the previous year for service as a director. The common shares are distributed to the Corporation's individual board members from treasury shares of the Corporation on or about January 15 following the calendar year of service.
Additionally, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, who does not receive cash compensation as a member of the Board of Directors, is awarded common shares equal in value to the average of those awarded to board members not employed by the Corporation who have served for 12 months during the prior year.
During January 2018 and 2017, 6,015 and 7,880 shares, respectively, were re-issued from treasury to fund the stock component of directors' compensation. An expense of $85 thousand and $79 thousand related to this compensation was recognized during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This expense is accrued as shares are earned.
Restricted Stock Plan
Pursuant to the Corporation’s Restricted Stock Plan, the Corporation may make discretionary grants of restricted stock to officers other than the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date.
A summary of restricted stock activity for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 is presented below:

|  | Shares |  | Weighted–Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2018 |  | 25,522 |  |  | $ | 38.01 |
Granted |  | — |  |  | — |

Forfeited or cancelled |  | — |  |  | — |
Nonvested at March 31, 2018 |  | 23,933 |  |  | $ | 38.12 |

As of March 31, 2018, there was $792 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.46 years. The total fair value of shares vested was $73 thousand and $16 thousand for the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
The following is the MD&A of the Corporation in this Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Reference should be made to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes, and the Corporation’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 8, 2018, for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis. See the list of commonly used abbreviations and terms on pages 3–5.
The MD&A included in this Form 10-Q contains statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Corporation's management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of those risks and uncertainties and the factors that could cause the Corporation’s actual results to differ materially from those risks and uncertainties, see Forward-looking Statements below and in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, on pages 17–24 of the Corporation’s 2017 Form 10-K.

The Corporation has been a financial holding company since 2000, the Bank was established in 1833, CFS in 2001, and CRM in 2016. Through the Bank and CFS, the Corporation provides a wide range of financial services, including demand, savings and time deposits, commercial, residential and consumer loans, interest rate swaps, letters of credit, wealth management services, employee benefit plans, insurance products, mutual funds and brokerage services. The Bank relies substantially on a foundation of locally generated deposits. The Corporation, on a stand-alone basis, has minimal results of operations. The Bank derives its income primarily from interest and fees on loans, interest income on investment securities, WMG fee income, and fees received in connection with deposit and other services. The Bank’s operating expenses are interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings, salaries and employee benefit plans, and general operating expenses. CRM is a Nevada-based captive insurance company which insures against certain risks unique to the operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today's insurance marketplace. CRM pools resources with several other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves.
Forward-looking Statements
This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The Corporation intends its forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections. All statements regarding the Corporation's expected financial position and operating results, the Corporation's business strategy, the Corporation's financial plans, forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to the Corporation's industry and similar matters are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by the Corporation's use of forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," or "intend." The Corporation cannot promise that its expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. The Corporation's actual results could be materially different from expectations because of various factors, including changes in economic conditions or interest rates, credit risk, difficulties in managing the Corporation’s growth, competition, changes in law or the regulatory environment, including the Dodd-Frank Act, and changes in general business and economic trends. Information concerning these and other factors can be found in the Corporation’s periodic filings with the SEC, including the discussion under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Corporation’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These filings are available publicly on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov, on the Corporation's web site at http://www.chemungcanal.com or upon request from the Corporate Secretary at (607) 737-3746.

(d) Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans only.
(e) Non-performing assets include non-performing loans plus other real estate owned.

In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures because it believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors about the underlying operational performance and trends of the Corporation and, therefore, facilitate a comparison of the Corporation with the performance of its competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Refer to pages 59-61 for further explanation and reconciliation of the Corporation’s use of non-GAAP measures.
Executive Summary
This executive summary of the MD&A includes selected information and may not contain all of the information that is important to readers of this Form 10-Q. For a complete description of the trends and uncertainties, as well as the risks and critical accounting estimates affecting the Corporation, this Form 10-Q should be read in its entirety.
The following table presents selected financial information for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change (in thousands, except per share and ratio data):

Non-interest expenses to average assets |  | 3.37 | % |  | 3.12 | % |  |  |  |  |  |

Net income for the first quarter of 2018 was $4.4 million, or $0.92 per share, compared with $3.0 million, or $0.62 per share, for the same period in the prior year. Return on average equity for the quarter was 11.96%, compared with 8.24% for the prior year quarter. The increase in net income was driven by increases in net interest income and non-interest income and decreases in the provision for loan losses and income tax expense, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense.
41

Net interest income
Net interest income increased $1.4 million, or 10.4%, compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to increases in interest income from the commercial loan portfolio and tax exempt securities and decreases in interest expense on deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, offset by a decrease in interest income from taxable securities and an increase in interest expense on borrowed funds.
Non-interest income
Non-interest income increased $0.6 million, or 13.0%, compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to increases in WMG fee income and other non-interest income.
Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses increased $1.1 million, or 8.6%, compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to an increase in salaries and wages, data processing expenses, professional services, marketing and advertising, and other real estate owned expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, non-interest expense to average assets was 3.37%, compared with 3.12% for the same period in the prior year.
Provision for loan losses
The provision for loan losses decreased $0.3 million, or 31.8%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to a decline in specific impairments and slower growth in the loan portfolio, compared to the same period in the prior year. Net charge-offs increased $0.1 million, compared with the same period in the prior year.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense decreased $0.2 million, or 16.9%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to the decline in the Federal income tax rate from 34% to 21%, with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Additionally, the Corporation increased income generated from CCTC Funding Corp., a real estate investment trust subsidiary of the Bank, reducing the Corporation’s state income tax. Partially offsetting these tax benefits was higher income before income tax expense for the first quarter of 2018, when compared to the same period in the prior year.
Consolidated Results of Operations
The following section of the MD&A provides a comparative discussion of the Corporation’s Consolidated Results of Operations on a reported basis for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. For a discussion of the Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties that affect the Consolidated Results of Operations, see page 58 of this Form 10-Q and page 60 of the Corporation’s 2017 Form 10-K.
Net Interest Income
The following table presents net interest income for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended March 31, |  |  |  |
| 2018 |  | 2017 |  | Change |  | Percentage Change
Interest and dividend income | $ | 15,669 |  |  | $ | 14,314 |  |  | $ | 1,355 |  |  | 9.5 | %
Interest expense | 769 |  |  | 820 |  |  | (51 | ) |  | (6.2 | )%
Net interest income | $ | 14,900 |  |  | $ | 13,494 |  |  | $ | 1,406 |  |  | 10.4 | %

Net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities, and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings, is the largest contributor to the Corporation’s earnings.
42

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $14.9 million compared with $13.5 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $1.4 million, or 10.4%. Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with 3.45% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to an increase of $18.3 million in average interest-earning assets, mostly due to an increase in the average balance of commercial loans. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 28 basis points, while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased one basis point in the first quarter of 2018, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets can be mostly attributed to a 25 basis points increase in the average yield on commercial loans, due to an increase in PRIME and LIBOR, along with a $0.3 million increase in prepayment penalties during the first quarter of 2018, compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, the average yield on investments increased 22 basis points due to the increase in the average yield on interest-earning deposits, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities can be mostly attributed to an 81 basis points decline in the average cost of borrowings due to the maturity of one $10.0 million repurchase agreement (4.54% rate) in March 2017, one $4.0 million FHLB advance (3.90% rate) in October 2017, and one $2.0 million FHLB term advance (3.05%) in January 2018.
Average Consolidated Balance Sheet and Interest Analysis
The following table presents certain information related to the Corporation’s average consolidated balance sheets and its consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. For the purpose of the table below, non-accruing loans are included in the daily average loan amounts outstanding. Daily balances were used for average balance computations. Investment securities are stated at amortized cost. Tax equivalent adjustments have been made in calculating yields on obligations of states and political subdivisions, tax-free commercial loans and dividends on equity investments.

Changes Due to Rate and Volume
Net interest income can be analyzed in terms of the impact of changes in rates and volumes. The table below illustrates the extent to which changes in interest rates and the volume of average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Corporation’s interest income and interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) the net changes. For purposes of this table, changes that are not due solely to volume or rate changes have been allocated to these categories based on the respective percentage changes in average volume and rate. Due to the numerous simultaneous volume and rate changes during the periods analyzed, it is not possible to precisely allocate changes between volume and rates. In addition, average interest-earning assets include non-accrual loans and taxable equivalent adjustments were made.

Provision for loan losses
Management performs an ongoing assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors including an analysis of historical loss factors, collateral evaluations, recent charge-off experience, credit quality of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and loan growth. Based on this analysis, the provision for loan losses for both the first quarter of 2018 and 2017 were $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in the prior year, can be attributed to a decline in specific impairments and slower growth in the loan portfolio compared to the same period in the prior year.

Total non-interest income |  | $ | 5,475 |  |  | $ | 4,847 |  |  | $ | 628 |  |  | 13.0 | %

Total non-interest income for the first quarter of 2018 increased $0.6 million compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was mostly due to increases in WMG fee income and other non-interest income.
WMG fee income
WMG fee income increased compared to the same period in the prior year due to an increase in assets under management or administration. The market value of total assets under management or administration in WMG was $1.957 billion at March 31, 2018, including $361.6 million of assets under management or administration for the Corporation, compared to $1.803 billion at March 31, 2017, including $327.5 million of assets under management or administration for the Corporation, an increase of $153.9 million, or 8.5%.
Other
Other non-interest income increased compared to the same period in the prior year due to a $0.4 million New York State sales tax refund received during the first quarter of 2018.

Total non-interest expense |  | $ | 14,166 |  |  | $ | 13,045 |  |  | $ | 1,121 |  |  | 8.6 | %

Total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2018 increased $1.1 million compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to increases in compensation expense and non-compensation expense.
Compensation expense
Compensation expense increased compared to the same period in the prior year due to increases in salaries and wages and pension and other employee benefits. The increase in salaries and wages can be attributed to an increase in the number of employees, compared to the same period in the prior year, and annual merit increases. The Bank opened one denovo branch in Schenectady, New York in January 2018. The increase in pension and other employee benefits can be mostly attributed to higher employer payroll taxes, due to the increase in salaries and wages, and healthcare and other postretirement costs.
Non-compensation expense
Non-compensation expense increased in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to increases in data processing, professional services, marketing and advertising expenses, and other real estate owned expenses. The increase in data processing can be attributed to the timing of projects. The increase in professional services can be mostly attributed to consulting costs associated with the New York State sales tax refund noted above within other non-interest income. The increase in marketing and advertising can be attributed to the timing of projects. The increase in other real estate owned expenses can be attributed to additional OREO properties, compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income tax expense
The following table presents income tax expense and the effective tax rate for the periods indicated, and the dollar and percent change (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |  |  |  |
|  | 2018 |  | 2017 |  | Change |  | Percentage Change
Income before income tax expense |  | $ | 5,500 |  |  | $ | 4,256 |  |  | $ | 1,244 |  |  | 29.2 | %
Income tax expense |  | 1,061 |  |  | 1,277 |  |  | (216 | ) |  | (16.9 | )%
Effective tax rate |  | 19.3 | % |  | 30.0 | % |  |  |  |

The decrease in the effective tax rate was due primarily to the decline in the Federal income tax rate from 34% to 21%, with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Additionally, the Corporation increased income generated from CCTC Funding Corp., a real estate investment trust subsidiary of the Bank, reducing the Corporation’s state income tax. Partially offsetting these tax benefits was higher income before income tax expense for first quarter of 2018, when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Investment securities
The decrease in investment securities can be mostly attributed to pay-downs, maturities, and an increase in unrealized losses.
48

Loans, net
The increase in total loans can be attributed to increases of $3.3 million in commercial mortgages, $1.5 million in commercial and agriculture loans, $0.2 million in residential mortgages, and $3.9 million in indirect consumer loans, partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in other consumer loans.
Goodwill and other intangible assets, net
The decrease in goodwill and other intangible assets, net can be attributed to the amortization of intangible assets.
Other assets
The increase in other assets can be mostly attributed to the fair market value adjustment to interest rate swaps of $0.9 million at March 31, 2018.
Deposits
The increase in deposits can be attributed to increases of $60.3 million in money market accounts and $4.0 million in savings deposits, offset by decreases of $7.3 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, $4.3 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, and $1.9 million in time deposits. The increase in money market accounts can be attributed to the seasonal inflow of deposits from existing municipal clients.
FHLBNY advances and other debt
The decrease in FHLBNY advances and other debt can be mostly attributed to the pay-down of FHLB overnight advances due to the increase in deposits.
Other liabilities
The increase in other liabilities can be mostly attributed to the fair market value adjustment to interest rate swaps of $0.9 million at March 31, 2018.
Shareholders’ equity
The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to earnings of $4.4 million, a $0.4 million increase in additional paid in capital, a reduction of $0.3 million in treasury stock, offset by an increase of $3.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, mostly attributable to the decrease in the fair market value of the securities portfolio, and $1.2 million in dividends declared during the first quarter of 2018.
Assets under management or administration
The market value of total assets under management or administration in our WMG was $1.957 billion at March 31, 2018, including $361.6 million of assets held under management or administration for the Corporation, compared with $1.952 billion at December 31, 2017, including $346.8 million of assets held under management or administration for the Corporation, an increase of $5.0 million, or 0.3%.
Securities
The Corporation’s Funds Management Policy includes an investment policy that in general, requires debt securities purchased for the bond portfolio to carry a minimum agency rating of "A". After an independent credit analysis is performed, the policy also allows the Corporation to purchase local municipal obligations that are not rated. The Corporation intends to maintain a reasonable level of securities to provide adequate liquidity and in order to have securities available to pledge to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements and other types of transactions. Fluctuations in the fair value of the Corporation’s securities relate primarily to changes in interest rates.
49

Marketable securities are classified as Available for Sale, while investments in local municipal obligations are generally classified as Held to Maturity. The composition of the available for sale segment of the securities portfolio is summarized in the table as follows (in thousands):

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

The available for sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $279.0 million at March 31, 2018, a decrease of $14.1 million, or 4.8%, from $293.1 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease can be mostly attributed to pay-downs, maturities, and an increase in unrealized losses.
The held to maturity segment of the securities portfolio consists of obligations of political subdivisions in the Corporation’s market areas and certificates of deposit. These securities totaled $3.6 million at March 31, 2018, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 3.7%, from $3.8 million at December 31, 2017.
Loans
The Corporation has reporting systems to monitor: (i) loan origination and concentrations, (ii) delinquent loans, (iii) non-performing assets, including non-performing loans, troubled debt restructurings, and other real estate owned, (iv) impaired loans, and (v) potential problem loans. Management reviews these systems on a regular basis.
The table below presents the Corporation’s loan composition by segment at the dates indicated, and the dollar and percent change from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018 (in thousands):

Portfolio loans totaled $1.320 billion at March 31, 2018, an increase of $8.1 million, or 0.6%, from $1.312 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase in loans can be attributed to increases of $1.5 million in commercial and agricultural loans, $3.3 million in commercial mortgages, $0.2 million in residential mortgages, and $3.9 million in indirect consumer loans, offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in other consumer loans. The growth in commercial and agriculture and commercial mortgages was due primarily to an increase in the Capital Bank division in the Albany, New York region.
Residential mortgage loans totaled $194.6 million at March 31, 2018, an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.1%, from December 31, 2017. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, $2.1 million of newly originated residential mortgages were sold in the secondary market to Freddie Mac and $0.2 million of residential mortgages were sold to the State of New York Mortgage Agency.

The Corporation anticipates that future growth in portfolio loans will continue to be in commercial mortgages and commercial and industrial loans, especially within the Capital Bank division of the Bank. The table below presents the Corporation’s outstanding loan balance by bank division (in thousands):

* All loans, excluding those originated by the Capital Bank division.
Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. Specific industries are identified using NAICS codes. The Corporation monitors specific NAICS industry classifications of commercial loans to identify concentrations greater than 10.0% of total loans. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, commercial loans to borrowers involved in the real estate, and real estate rental and lending businesses were 45.5% and 48.1% of total loans, respectively. No other concentration of loans existed in the commercial loan portfolio in excess of 10.0% of total loans as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, non-accrual troubled debt restructurings and other real estate owned that has been acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loan obligations or upon foreclosure.
Past due status on all loans is based on the contractual terms of the loan. It is generally the Corporation's policy that a loan 90 days past due be placed in non-accrual status unless factors exist that would eliminate the need to place a loan in this status. A loan may also be designated as non-accrual at any time if payment of principal or interest in full is not expected due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. At the time loans are placed in non-accrual status, the accrual of interest is discontinued and previously accrued interest is reversed. All payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal. Loans are considered for return to accrual status when they become current as to principal and interest and remain current for a period of six consecutive months or when, in the opinion of management, the Corporation expects to receive all of its original principal and interest. In the case of non-accrual loans where a portion of the loan has been charged off, the remaining balance is kept in non-accrual status until the entire principal balance has been recovered.
The following table summarizes the Corporation's non-performing assets, excluding acquired PCI loans (in thousands):

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Non-Performing Loans
Non-performing loans totaled $17.3 million at March 31, 2018, or 1.31% of total loans, compared with $17.3 million at December 31, 2017, or 1.32% of total loans. Non-performing assets, which are comprised of non-performing loans and other real estate owned, was $19.1 million, or 1.12% of total assets, at March 31, 2018, compared with $19.3 million, or 1.13% of total assets, at December 31, 2017.
Not included in non-performing loan totals are $0.8 million of acquired loans that the Corporation has identified as PCI loans as of December 31, 2017. The PCI loans are accounted for under separate accounting guidance, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 310-30, “Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” as disclosed in Note 4 of the financial statements. There were no PCI loans as of March 31, 2018.
Accruing Loans Past due 90 Days or More
The recorded investment in accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $28 thousand at March 31, 2018, a decrease of $1 thousand from December 31, 2017.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Corporation works closely with borrowers that have financial difficulties to identify viable solutions that minimize the potential for loss. In that regard, the Corporation modified the terms of select loans to maximize their collectability. The modified loans are considered TDRs under current accounting guidance. Modifications generally involve short-term deferrals of principal and/or interest payments, reductions of scheduled payment amounts, interest rates or principal of the loan, and forgiveness of accrued interest. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Corporation had $5.9 million of non-accrual TDRs. As of March 31, 2018, the Corporation had $1.5 million of accruing TDRs compared with $1.7 million as of December 31, 2017.
Impaired Loans
A loan is classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect both the principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans at March 31, 2018 totaled $13.8 million, including TDRs of $7.3 million, compared to $14.1 million at December 31, 2017, including TDRs of $7.7 million. Not included in the impaired loan totals are acquired loans which the Corporation has identified as PCI loans, as these loans are accounted for under ASC Subtopic 310-30 as noted under the above discussion of non-performing loans. The decrease in impaired loans was due primarily to a decrease in impaired commercial and industrial loans. Included in the recorded investment of impaired loans at March 31, 2018, are loans totaling $7.8 million for which impairment allowances of $5.7 million have been specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2017, the impaired loan total included $8.1 million of loans for which specific impairment allowances of $5.9 million were allocated to the allowance for loan losses.
The majority of the Corporation's impaired loans are secured and measured for impairment based on collateral evaluations. It is the Corporation's policy to obtain updated appraisals, by independent third parties, on loans secured by real estate at the time a loan is determined to be impaired. An impairment measurement is performed based upon the most recent appraisal on file to determine the amount of any specific allocation or charge-off. In determining the amount of any specific allocation or charge-off, the Corporation will make adjustments to reflect the estimated costs to sell the property. Upon receipt and review of the updated appraisal, an additional measurement is performed to determine if any adjustments are necessary to reflect the proper provisioning or charge-off. Impaired loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis to determine if any changes in credit quality or market conditions would require any additional allocation or recognition of additional charge-offs. Real estate values in the Corporation's market area have been holding steady. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using (i) an appraisal, (ii) net book value of the collateral per the borrower’s financial statements, or (iii) accounts receivable aging reports, that may be adjusted based on management’s knowledge of the client and client’s business. If market conditions warrant, future appraisals are obtained for both real estate and non-real estate collateral.

The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans. The allowance is established based on management’s evaluation of the probable incurred losses inherent in our portfolio in accordance with GAAP, and is comprised of both specific valuation allowances and general valuation allowances.
A loan is classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect both the principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Specific valuation allowances are
52

established based on management’s analysis of individually impaired loans. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, evaluations of the underlying collateral, expected cash flows, delinquent or unpaid property taxes, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. If a loan is determined to be impaired and is placed on non-accrual status, all future payments received are applied to principal and a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current qualitative factors. Loans not impaired but classified as substandard and special mention use a historical loss factor on a rolling five-year history of net losses. For all other unclassified loans, the historical loss experience is determined by portfolio class and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Corporation over the most recent two years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio class. These qualitative factors include consideration of the following: (1) lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off and recovery policies, (2) national and local economic and business conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments, (3) loan profiles and volume of the portfolio, (4) the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff, (5) the volume and severity of past due, classified and watch-list loans, non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, and other modifications (6) the quality of the Bank’s loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Bank’s Board of Directors, (7) collateral related issues: secured vs. unsecured, type, declining valuation environment and trend of other related factors, (8) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations, (9) the effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the Bank’s current portfolio and (10) the impact of the global economy.
The allowance for loan losses is increased through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of all or a portion of the principal is unlikely. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is performed on a periodic basis and takes into consideration such factors as the credit risk grade assigned to the loan, historical loan loss experience and review of specific impaired loans. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
The allowance for loan losses was $21.4 million at March 31, 2018, up from $21.2 million at December 31, 2017. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.62% at March 31, 2018, up from 1.61% at December 31, 2017. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

DEPOSITS
| March 31, 2018 |  | December 31, 2017 |  | Dollar Change |  | Percentage Change
Non-interest-bearing demand deposits | $ | 460,271 |  |  | $ | 467,610 |  |  | $ | (7,339 | ) |  | (1.6 | )%
Interest-bearing demand deposits | 144,707 |  |  | 149,026 |  |  | (4,319 | ) |  | (2.9 | )%
Insured money market accounts | 574,075 |  |  | 513,782 |  |  | 60,293 |  |  | 11.7 | %
Savings deposits | 222,700 |  |  | 218,666 |  |  | 4,034 |  |  | 1.8 | %

Total | $ | 1,518,200 |  |  | $ | 1,467,446 |  |  | $ | 50,754 |  |  | 3.5 | %

Deposits totaled $1.518 billion at March 31, 2018 compared with $1.467 billion at December 31, 2017, an increase of $50.8 million, or 3.5%. The increase was attributable to increases of $60.3 million in money market accounts and $4.0 million in savings deposits, offset by decreases of $7.3 million in non-interest bearing demand deposits, $4.3 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, and $1.9 million in time deposits. The increase in money market accounts can be attributed to the seasonal inflow of deposits from existing municipal clients. At March 31, 2018, demand deposit and money market accounts comprised 77.7% of total deposits compared with 77.0% at December 31, 2017.

*All deposits, excluding those originated by the Capital Bank Division.
In addition to consumer, commercial and public deposits, other sources of funds include brokered deposits. Brokered deposits include funds obtained through brokers, and the Bank’s participation in the CDARS and ICS programs. There were no deposits obtained through brokers as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Deposits obtained through the CDARS and ICS programs were $219.1 million and $187.7 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The increase in CDARS and ICS deposits was due to the seasonal inflow of current municipal client balances.
The Corporation’s deposit strategy is to fund the Bank with stable, low-cost deposits, primarily checking account deposits and other low interest-bearing deposit accounts. A checking account is the driver of a banking relationship and consumers consider the bank where they have their checking account as their primary bank. These customers will typically turn to their primary bank first when in need of other financial services. Strategies that have been developed and implemented to generate these deposits include: (i) acquire deposits by entering new markets through branch acquisitions or de novo branching, (ii) an annual checking account marketing campaign, (iii) training branch employees to identify and meet client financial needs with Bank products and services, (iv) link business and consumer loans to the customer's primary checking account at the Bank, (v) aggressively promote direct deposit of client’s payroll checks or benefit checks and (vi) constantly monitor the Corporation’s pricing strategies to ensure competitive products and services.
The Corporation also considers brokered deposits to be an element of its deposit strategy and anticipates that it will continue using brokered deposits as a secondary source of funding to support growth.
Borrowings
Borrowings decreased $59.7 million from $74.2 million at December 31, 2017 to $14.5 million at March 31, 2018, mostly attributed to a decline of $57.7 million in FHLB overnight advances, due to the increase in deposits.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity was $150.3 million at March 31, 2018 compared with $149.8 million at December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to earnings of $4.4 million, a $0.4 million increase in additional paid in capital, a reduction of $0.3 million in treasury stock, offset by an increase of $3.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, mostly attributable to the decrease in the fair market value of the securities portfolio, and $1.2 million in dividends declared during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio was 8.84% at March 31, 2018 compared with 8.77% at December 31, 2017. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.55% at March 31, 2018 compared with 7.48% at December 31, 2017. Book value per share increased to $31.16 at March 31, 2018 from $31.10 at December 31, 2017.
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve which establish a framework for the classification of financial holding companies and financial institutions into five categories: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized and critically under-capitalized. As of March 31, 2018, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those required to be considered well-capitalized under regulatory capital guidelines and the Corporation met capital requirements under regulatory guidelines.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
See Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of off-balance sheet arrangements.

Liquidity
Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of deposit clients, borrowers, and the operating, investing and financing activities of the Corporation. The Corporation uses a variety of resources to meet its liquidity needs. These include short term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, core-deposit growth and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits of $100,000 or more, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings.
The Corporation is a member of the FHLBNY which allows it to access borrowings which enhance management's ability to satisfy future liquidity needs. Based on available collateral and current advances outstanding, the Corporation was eligible to borrow up to a total of $130.6 million and $73.5 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Corporation also had a total of $38.0 million of unsecured lines of credit with five different financial institutions, all of which was available at March 31, 2018 and at December 31, 2017.
Consolidated Cash Flows Analysis
The table below summarizes the Corporation's cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

CONSOLIDATED SUMMARY OF CASH FLOWS
(in thousands) |  | Three Months Ended March 31,
|  | 2018 |  | 2017
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 6,980 |  |  | $ | 6,504 |
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities |  | 3,401 |  |  | (29,411 | )
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities |  | (10,106 | ) |  | 74,430 |
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 275 |  |  | $ | 51,523 |

Operating activities
The Corporation believes cash flows from operations, available cash balances and its ability to generate cash through short-term and long-term borrowings are sufficient to fund the Corporation’s operating liquidity needs.
Cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 2018 and 2017 predominantly resulted from net income after non-cash operating adjustments.
Investing activities
Cash provided by investing activities during the first three months of 2018 predominantly resulted from calls, maturities, and principal collected in securities available for sale and redemption of FHLBNY stock, offset by a net increase in loans and purchases of FHLBNY stock. Cash used by investing activities during the first three months of 2017 predominantly resulted from a net increase in loans and purchases of securities, offset by sales, calls, maturities, and principal collected in securities available for sale.
Financing activities
Cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2018 predominantly resulted from the repayment of FHLBNY overnight advances, offset by increases in deposits. Cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2017 predominantly resulted from a net increase in deposits, offset by the decrease in repurchase agreements.
.
Capital Resources
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. 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. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing Basel III rules became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. Under Basel III rules, the Corporation must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer is being phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to 2.50% by 2019. The capital conservation buffer for 2018 is 1.875%.
56

Organizations that fail to maintain the minimum capital conservation buffer could face restrictions on capital distributions or discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities and changes in the funded status of the defined benefit pension plan and other benefit plans are not included in computing regulatory capital.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Corporation and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.
As of March 31, 2018, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, common equity Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's or the Corporation's capital category.
The regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were calculated under Basel III rules. There is no threshold for well-capitalized status for bank holding companies.
The Corporation’s and the Bank’s actual and required regulatory capital ratios, for the periods indicated, were as follows (in thousands, except ratio data):

Dividend Restrictions
The Corporation’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to current year’s net income, combined with the retained net income of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements in the table below. At March 31, 2018, the Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $10.0 million.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Please refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements for a discussion of new accounting standards.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties
Critical accounting policies include the areas where the Corporation has made what it considers to be particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments concerning estimates, and where these estimates can significantly affect the Corporation's financial results under different assumptions and conditions. The Corporation prepares its financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As a result, the Corporation is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based upon the information available at that time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the uncertainty in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover probable incurred credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and the material effect that such judgments can have on the Corporation's results of operations. While management's current evaluation of the allowance for loan losses indicates that the allowance is adequate, under adversely different conditions or assumptions the allowance would need to be increased. For example, if historical loan loss experience significantly worsened or if current economic conditions significantly deteriorated, additional provisions for loan losses would be required to increase the allowance. In addition, the assumptions and estimates used in the internal reviews of the Corporation's non-performing loans and potential problem loans, and the associated evaluation of the related collateral coverage for these loans, has a significant impact on the overall analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Real estate values in the Corporation’s market area did not increase dramatically in the prior several years, and, as a result, any declines in real estate values have been modest. While management has concluded that the current evaluation of collateral values is reasonable under the circumstances, if collateral evaluations were significantly lowered, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses policy would also require additional provisions for loan losses.
58

Explanation and Reconciliation of the Corporation’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Corporation prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP; these financial statements appear on pages 6–11. That presentation provides the reader with an understanding of the Corporation’s results that can be tracked consistently from year-to-year and enables a comparison of the Corporation’s performance with other companies’ GAAP financial statements.
In addition to analyzing the Corporation’s results on a reported basis, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, because it believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors about the underlying operational performance and trends of the Corporation and, therefore, facilitate a comparison of the Corporation with the performance of its competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
The SEC has adopted Regulation G, which applies to all public disclosures, including earnings releases, made by registered companies that contain “non-GAAP financial measures.” Under Regulation G, companies making public disclosures containing non-GAAP financial measures must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure and a statement of the Corporation’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure as part of its financial disclosures. The SEC has exempted from the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. When these exempted measures are included in public disclosures, supplemental information is not required. The following measures used in this Report, which are commonly utilized by financial institutions, have not been specifically exempted by the SEC and may constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of the SEC's new rules, although we are unable to state with certainty that the SEC would so regard them.
Fully Taxable Equivalent Net Interest Income, Net Interest Margin, and Efficiency Ratio
Net interest income is commonly presented on a tax-equivalent basis. That is, to the extent that some component of the institution's net interest income, which is presented on a before-tax basis, is exempt from taxation (e.g., is received by the institution as a result of its holdings of state or municipal obligations), an amount equal to the tax benefit derived from that component is added to the actual before-tax net interest income total. This adjustment is considered helpful in comparing one financial institution's net interest income to that of other institutions or in analyzing any institution’s net interest income trend line over time, to correct any analytical distortion that might otherwise arise from the fact that financial institutions vary widely in the proportions of their portfolios that are invested in tax-exempt securities, and that even a single institution may significantly alter over time the proportion of its own portfolio that is invested in tax-exempt obligations. Moreover, net interest income is itself a component of a second financial measure commonly used by financial institutions, net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. For purposes of this measure as well, fully taxable equivalent net interest income is generally used by financial institutions, as opposed to actual net interest income, again to provide a better basis of comparison from institution to institution and to better demonstrate a single institution’s performance over time. The Corporation follows these practices.
The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measures which represents the Corporation’s ability to turn resources into revenue and is calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue (fully taxable equivalent net interest income and non-interest income), adjusted for one-time occurrences and amortization. This measure is meaningful to the Corporation, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Corporation’s productivity measured by the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

Adjustments for Certain Items of Income or Expense
In addition to disclosures of certain GAAP financial measures, including net income, EPS, ROA, and ROE, we may also provide comparative disclosures that adjust these GAAP financial measures for a particular period by removing from the calculation thereof the impact of certain transactions or other material items of income or expense occurring during the period, including certain nonrecurring items. The Corporation believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measures may improve an understanding of its results of operations by separating out any such transactions or items that may have had a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Corporation’s financial results during the particular period in question. In the Corporation’s presentation of any such non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures not specifically discussed in the preceding paragraphs, the Corporation supplies the supplemental financial information and explanations required under Regulation G.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Management considers interest rate risk to be the most significant market risk for the Corporation. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the net income of the Corporation as a result of changes in interest rates.
The Corporation’s primary earnings source is net interest income, which is affected by changes in the level of interest rates, the relationship between rates, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments, the level and composition of deposits and liabilities, and credit quality of earning assets.
The Corporation’s objectives in its asset and liability management are to maintain a strong, stable net interest margin, to utilize its capital effectively without taking undue risks, to maintain adequate liquidity, and to reduce vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates. The Corporation's ALCO has the strategic responsibility for setting the policy guidelines on acceptable exposure to interest rate risk. These guidelines contain specific measures and limits regarding the risks, which are monitored on a regular basis. The ALCO is made up of the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Asset Liability Management Officer, and other officers representing key functions.
Interest rate risk is the risk that net interest income will fluctuate as a result of a change in interest rates. It is the assumption of interest rate risk, along with credit risk, that drives the net interest margin of a financial institution. For that reason, the ALCO has established tolerance limits based upon a 200-basis point change in interest rates, with appropriate floors set for interest-bearing liabilities. At March 31, 2018, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 11.39% and an immediate 200-basis point increase would positively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 3.34%. Both are within the Corporation's policy guideline of 15%. Given the overall low level of current interest rates and the unlikely event of a 200-basis point decline at this time, management additionally modeled an immediate 100-basis point decline and an immediate 300-basis point increase in interest rates. When applied, it is estimated that an immediate 100-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 5.67% and an immediate 300-basis point increase would positively impact the next 12 months net interest income by 4.91%.
A related component of interest rate risk is the expectation that the market value of the Corporation’s equity account will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. This component is a direct corollary to the earnings-impact component: an institution exposed to earnings erosion is also exposed to a decline in market value. At March 31, 2018, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the market value of the Corporation’s capital account by 13.35% and an immediate 200-basis point increase in interest rates would positively impact the market value by 4.94%. Both are within the Corporation’s policy guideline of 15%. Management also modeled the impact to the market value of the Corporation’s capital with an immediate 100-basis point decline and an immediate 300-basis point increase in interest rates, based on the current interest rate environment. When applied, it is estimated that an immediate 100-basis point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact the market value of the Corporation’s capital account by 5.98% and an immediate 300-basis point increase in interest rates would positively impact the market value by 6.95%.
Management does recognize the need for certain hedging strategies during periods of anticipated higher fluctuations in interest rates and the Funds Management Policy provides for limited use of certain derivatives in asset liability management.
Credit Risk
The Corporation manages credit risk consistent with state and federal laws governing the making of loans through written policies and procedures; loan review to identify loan problems at the earliest possible time; collection procedures (continued even after a loan is charged off); an adequate allowance for loan losses; and continuing education and training to ensure lending expertise. Diversification by loan product is maintained through offering commercial loans, 1-4 family mortgages, and a full range of consumer loans.
The Corporation monitors its loan portfolio carefully. The Loan Committee of the Corporation's Board of Directors is designated to receive required loan reports, oversee loan policy, and approve loans above authorized individual and Senior Loan Committee lending limits. The Senior Loan Committee, consisting of the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (non-voting member), Chief Risk Officer (non-voting member), Business Client Division Manager, Retail Client Division Manager, Retail Loan Manager, Senior Commercial Real Estate Lender, and Commercial Loan Managers, implements the Board-approved loan policy.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Corporation's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer, who is the Corporation's principal executive officer, and its Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, who is the Corporation's principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018 pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2018. In addition, there have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Corporation under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
