NOTE B: ACQUISITIONS

On April 8, 2011, the Company acquired The Wilber Corporation (“Wilber”), parent company of Wilber National Bank, for approximately $103 million in stock and cash, comprised of $20.4 million in cash and the issuance of 3.35 million additional shares of the Company's common stock. Based in Oneonta, New York, Wilber operated 22 branches in the Central, Greater Capital District, and Catskill regions of Upstate New York. Wilber was merged into the Company and Wilber National Bank was merged into Community Bank, N.A.

The assets and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimates using information available at April 8, 2011, the acquisition date, and Wilber's results of operations have been included in the Company's financial statements since that date. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

(000's omitted)
Consideration paid:
Community Bank System, Inc. common stock	$82,580
Cash	20,372
Total consideration paid	102,952
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents	26,901
Investment securities	297,573
Loans	462,334
Premises and equipment	6,213
Accrued interest receivable	2,615
Other assets and liabilities, net	47,095
Core deposit intangibles	4,016
Other intangibles	890
Deposits	(771,554)
Borrowings	(19,668)
Total identifiable assets	56,415
Goodwill	$ 46,537

The above recognized amounts of assets and liabilities, at fair value, are subject to adjustment based on updated information not available at the time of acquisition.

Acquired loans that have evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments were aggregated by comparable characteristics and recorded at fair value without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. Cash flows for each pool were determined using an estimate of future credit losses and an estimated rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted to present value using a market-based discount rate. The excess of the undiscounted expected cash flows over the estimated fair value is referred to as the “accretable yield” and is recognized into interest income over the remaining lives of the acquired loans.

The following is a summary of the loans acquired in the Wilber acquisition:

(000's omitted)	Acquired Impaired Loans	Acquired Non-Impaired Loans	Total Acquired Loans
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$41,730	$680,516	$722,246
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected	(20,061)	(31,115)	(51,176)
Expected cash flows at acquisition	21,669	649,401	671,070
Interest component of expected cash flows	(2,509)	(206,227)	(208,736)
Fair value of acquired loans	$19,160	$443,174	$462,334

The core deposit intangible and customer list are being amortized over their estimated useful life of approximately eight years, using an accelerated method. The goodwill, which is not amortized for book purposes, was assigned to the Banking segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of checking, savings and money market deposit accounts acquired from Wilber were assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificate of deposit accounts were valued as the present value of the certificates expected contractual payments discounted at market rates for similar certificates.

Direct costs related to the Wilber acquisition were expensed as incurred. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company incurred $0.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of merger and acquisition integration related expenses and have been separately stated in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Pro Forma condensed Combined Financial Information

If the Wilber acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2010, total revenue, net of interest expense, would have been approximately $230.4 million and $233.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and net income from continuing operations would have been approximately $49.9 million and $52.7 million for the same periods. Pro forma results of operations do not include the impact of conforming certain acquiree accounting policies to the Company's policies. The pro forma financial information does not indicate the impact of possible business model changes nor does it consider any potential impacts of current market condition or revenues, expenses efficiencies, or other factors.
