NOTE B:  ACQUISITIONS

On January 4, 2016, the Company, through its subsidiary, CBNA Insurance Agency, Inc. ("CBNA Insurance"), completed its acquisition of WJL Agencies Inc. doing business as The Clark Insurance Agencies ("WJL"), an insurance agency operating in northern New York. The Company paid $0.6 million in cash for the intangible assets of the company.  Goodwill in the amount of $0.3 million and intangible assets in the amount of $0.3 million were recorded in conjunction with the acquisition.  The effects of the acquired assets and liabilities have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.

On December 4, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of Oneida Financial Corp. ("Oneida"), parent company of Oneida Savings Bank, headquartered in Oneida, New York for approximately $158 million in Company stock and cash, comprised of $56.3 million of cash and the issuance of 2.38 million shares of common stock.  Upon the completion of the merger, Community Bank, N.A. ("CBNA" or the "Bank") added 12 branch locations in Oneida and Madison counties and approximately $769 million of assets, including approximately $399 million of loans and $226 million of investment securities, along with $699 million of deposits.  Through the acquisition of Oneida, the Company acquired, among others, OneGroup NY, Inc. ("OneGroup") and Oneida Wealth Management, Inc. ("OWM") as wholly-owned subsidiaries primarily engaged in offering insurance and investment advisory services.  These subsidiaries complement the Company's other non-banking financial services businesses. The effects of the acquired assets and liabilities have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.

The assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimates using information available at the date of the acquisition, and were subject to adjustment based on updated information not available at the time of acquisition.  During the first quarter of 2016, the carrying amount of other assets decreased by $0.9 million and other liabilities increased by $0.7 million as a result of adjustments made to fair value estimates recorded for the Oneida acquisition. Other assets decreased as a result of new information obtained related to the fair value calculation of loans partially offset by a decrease in the fair value adjustment made to accounts receivable for uncollectible accounts as actual cash receipts exceed anticipated cash receipts.  Other liabilities increased as a result of updated information related to deferred taxes.  Goodwill increased $1.6 million as a result of these changes in fair value estimates.

The above referenced acquisitions expanded the Company's geographical presence in New York and management expects that the Company will benefit from greater geographic diversity and the advantages of other synergistic business development opportunities.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed after considering the measurement period adjustments described above:

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 loan were determined using an estimate of 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 from Oneida at the date of acquisition:

The fair value of checking, savings and money market deposit accounts acquired 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 at the present value of the certificates' expected contractual payments discounted at market rates for similar certificates.

The core deposit intangibles and other intangibles related to the Oneida acquisition and the other intangibles related to WJL are being amortized using an accelerated method over their estimated useful life of eight years.  The goodwill, which is not amortized for book purposes, was assigned to the Banking and All Other segments for the Oneida acquisition and the All Other segment for WJL.  Goodwill arising from the Oneida acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.  Goodwill arising from the WJL acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

Direct costs related to the acquisitions were expensed as incurred.  Merger and acquisition integration-related expenses amount to $0.3 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and have been separately stated in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited condensed pro forma information assumes the Oneida acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2015 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015.  The pro forma information does not include amounts related to WJL as the amounts were immaterial and financial information is not readily available. The table below has been prepared for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have been attained had the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the years presented, nor is it indicative of the Company's future results. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect management's estimate of any revenue-enhancing opportunities nor anticipated cost savings or the impact of conforming certain acquiree accounting policies to the Company's policies that may have occurred as a result of the integration and consolidation of the acquisitions.

 
The pro forma information set forth below reflects the historical results of Oneida combined with the Company's consolidated statement of income with adjustments related to (a) certain purchase accounting fair value adjustments; (b) amortization of customer lists and core deposit intangibles and (c) changes to effective tax rate as a result of the Company's assets size being above $8 billion on a consolidated basis.  Acquisition-related expenses totaling $0.4 million and $0.8 million are excluded from the pro forma information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.
