Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through August 13, 2009 (the financial statement issue date). The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K dated March 27, 2009.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

The consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 include the accounts of Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc., Seneca Falls Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Seneca-Cayuga Personal Services, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.	Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not granted any restricted stock awards or stock options and had no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per common share until they are committed to be released.

3.	Securities

Investments in securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are summarized as follows:


	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value

Total securities held-to-maturity	$	789	$	(3	)	$	622	$	(497	)	$	1,411	$	(500	)

The Company evaluates its held-to-maturity and available-for-sale portfolios for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis. In completing its analysis, management considered (1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value had been less than cost, (2) the financial condition of the issuer and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or geographic area, (3) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, (4) any changes to the rating of a security by a rating agency and (5) the presence of credit enhancements, if any, including the guarantee of the federal government or any of its agencies.

For debt securities, OTTI is considered to have occurred if (1) the Company intends to sell the security, (2) it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (3) if the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. In determining the present value of expected cash flows, the Company discounts the expected cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition or, for debt securities that are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets, at the current rate used to accrete the beneficial interest. In estimating cash flows expected to be collected, the Company uses available information with respect to security prepayment speeds, expected deferral and default rates and severity, whether subordinated interests, if any, are capable of absorbing estimated losses and the value of any underlying collateral.

In determining whether OTTI has occurred for equity securities, the Company considers the applicable factors described above and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At June 30, 2009, a collateralized mortgage obligation issued by Country Wide was in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more, with a carrying value of $1,119,000 and fair value of $622,000 on June 30, 2009. The underlying collateral is primarily one-to-four family residential mortgages and are generally

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

performing according to their respective terms. The credit support for our tranche has increased from 7.15% to 18.25% since its original issuance in 2004, and 9.14% of the mortgages are delinquent 90 days or more. There are no mortgages with original loan-to-value ratios exceeding 80% without primary mortgage insurance. The yield earned on the security is consistent with our original expectations, and the prepayment speed is slightly less than originally expected. S&P has rated our tranche “AAA.” Accordingly, it is not expected to be settled at a price less than the par value of the security because the decline in fair value is not based on credit quality.

Because the Company does not intend to sell, nor does it believe that it will more likely than not be required to sell this security prior to a recovery of its fair value to amortized cost, the Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2009.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company determined that an investment in a large cap mutual fund was other-than-temporarily impaired, and accordingly recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $245,000. The Company was not certain when the fair value would equal its carrying value, and accordingly, concluded the charge against earnings was required. The Company has maintained its investment in the large cap mutual fund, and its carrying value at June 30, 2009 is $1,028,000. No other-than-temporary impairment losses were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The following is a summary of the amortized cost and estimated fair values of debt securities at June 30, 2009, by remaining term to contractual maturity other than mortgage-backed securities. Actual maturities may differ from these amounts because certain issuers have the right to call or redeem their obligations prior to contractual maturity. The contractual maturities of mortgage-backed securities generally exceed 20 years; however, the effective average life is expected to be substantially shorter due to anticipated repayments and prepayments.

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the statement of financial condition, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects for the three and six months ended June 30 are as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended June 30,						For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
	(in thousands)
Unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale	$	113		$	(134	)	$	10		$	(218	)
Reclassification adjustment for losses recognized in income		—			245			—			245

Net unrealized gains on securities available for sale		113			111			10			27

Other comprehensive income	$	103		$	73		$	73		$	25

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related tax effects, are as follows:

6.	Fair Value Accounting

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Bank’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Bank could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective reporting dates and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each reporting date.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Bank since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Bank’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparison between the Bank’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values.

Interest-bearing term deposits held in banks: The carrying amounts of interest-bearing deposits held in banks approximate fair values.

Securities: The fair values of trading, available-for sale and held-to-maturity securities are obtained from an independent third party and are based on quoted prices on nationally recognized exchange (Level 1), where available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured by utilizing matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2). Management made no adjustment to the fair value quotes that were received from the independent third party pricing service.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of New York Stock: The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB. There have been no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the FHLB stock. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that our FHLB stock is not impaired at June 30, 2009.

Loans: The fair values for loans are estimated by discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently being offered in the market for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, regular savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair values.

Borrowings: Fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered by the FHLB for similar borrowings to a schedule of monthly maturities.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments: Fair values of off-balance sheet financial instruments are based on the fees that would be charged for similar agreements, considering the remaining term of the agreement, the rate offered and the credit worthiness of the parties.

The following table presents a comparison of the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments:

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

SFAS 157 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date of identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity).

An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used are as follows:


Description	June 30, 2009		Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2009
Description	June 30, 2009		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
	(in thousands)
Trading securities	$	1,857	$	184	$	1,673	$	—
Securities available-for-sale		1,994		1,028		966		—

Total	$	3,851	$	1,212	$	2,639	$	—


Description	December 31, 2008		Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2008
Description	December 31, 2008		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
	(in thousands)
Trading securities	$	2,473	$	2,473	$	—	$	—
Securities available-for-sale		2,193		2,193		—		—

Total	$	4,666	$	4,666	$	—	$	—

We changed the valuation technique used for certain trading securities and securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2009 as compared to the technique used at December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2008, the security values were determined using unadjusted quote prices in active markets for the actual securities. At June 30, 2009, the valuation used for some of the securities was based on matrix pricing, a Level 2 approach. The change was necessary because there was not an active market at June 30, 2009 for some of the mortgage-backed securities held.

In addition to disclosures of the fair value of assets on a recurring basis, SFAS 157 requires disclosures for asset and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired assets, in the period in which a re-measurement at fair value is performed. There were no assets or liabilities whose carrying values were re-measured at fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

7.	Discontinued Operations

In December 2008, we committed to a plan to sell our insurance segment, and on February 5, 2009, we accepted a letter of intent from a third party indicating their intention to acquire our Agency’s insurance business. We made the decision to sell this segment upon determining that, despite restructuring, we were unable to earn an acceptable return on our investment. The negotiations were called off in June 2009, as the acquirer’s key principal had become ill and withdrew his participation in the purchase. The Bank will maintain ownership in the Agency and is not actively seeking a buyer. Subject to market conditions and its ability to attract qualified insurance brokerage experts, the Bank may expand the market presence of the Agency. The carrying value of goodwill associated with the Agency is $327,000 at June 30, 2009 and, based on our analysis, no impairment has been recorded during 2009.

8.	Segment Reporting

The Company has determined that it has two primary business segments, its community banking franchise and its insurance agency.

The community banking segment provides financial services to consumers and businesses principally in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. These services include providing various types of loans to customers, accepting deposits, mortgage banking and other traditional banking services. Parent company and treasury function income is included in the community-banking segment, as the majority of effort of these functions is related to this segment. Major revenue sources include net interest income and service fees on deposit accounts. Expenses include personnel and branch support network support charges.

The insurance agency segment offers insurance coverage to businesses and individuals in the Finger Lakes region. The insurance activities consisted of those conducted through the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Seneca-Cayuga Personal Services, LLC d/b/a Royce & Rosenkrans, Inc. Major revenue sources include commission income. Expenses include personnel and office support charges.

Information about the segments is presented in the following table for the period indicated:

9.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. This FSP amends FASB Statement 132(R), Employers’ Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits, to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The disclosures about plan assets required by this FSP shall be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently reviewing the effect this new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This statement prescribes the information that a reporting entity must provide in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Specifically, among other aspects, SFAS 166 amends Statement of Financial Standard No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, or SFAS 140, by removing the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from SFAS 140 and removes the exception from applying FIN 46(R) to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities. It also modifies the financial-components approach used in SFAS 140. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We have not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS 166 will have on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This statement amends FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003) — an

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

interpretation of ARB No. 51, or FIN 46(R), to require an enterprise to determine whether it’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the enterprise that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, to establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Throughout the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) the term “Company” refers to the consolidated entity of Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc., Seneca Falls Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and Seneca-Cayuga Personal Services, LLC. Seneca-Cayuga Personal Services, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. At June 30, 2009, Seneca Falls Savings Bank, MHC, the Company’s mutual holding company parent, held approximately 56% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, the current economic crisis, changes in economic conditions including real estate values in the Company’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, the level of deposit insurance premiums, demand for loans in the Company’s market areas, competition in both the banking and insurance markets, the impact of national economic conditions including problems in the securities markets, on its securities portfolio and mutual fund and the success of our expansion plan, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically declines any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Critical Accounting Policies

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed on Form 10-K dated March 27, 2009. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the consolidated financial statements and how those values are determined. We have identified the accounting of our allowance for loan losses, evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment and deferred income tax accounting as our critical accounting policies.

Allowance for loan losses:

Our allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical. The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management due to the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions utilized and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses.

As a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans and discounted cash flow valuations of properties are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly affect the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. We consider a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates by management that may be susceptible to significant change based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions.

The evaluation has a specific and general component. The specific component relates to loans that are delinquent or otherwise identified as a problem loan through the application of our loan review process and our loan grading system. All such loans are evaluated individually, with principal consideration given to the value of the collateral securing the loan. Specific allowances are established as required by this analysis. The general component is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general component of the allowance for loan losses.

Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

Securities:

Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and securities held-to-maturity for which the Company has the positive ability and intent to hold to maturity are reported at cost adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the level yield method. In accordance with FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 unrealized credit losses on debt securities and all unrealized losses on equity securities are charged to earnings as an impairment loss when the decline in fair value of a security is judged to be other-than-temporary. The Company evaluates its held-to-maturity and available-for-sale portfolios for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis. In completing its analysis, management considered (1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value had been less than cost, (2) the financial condition of the issuer and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or geographic area, (3) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, (4) any changes to the rating of a security by a rating agency and (5) the presence of credit enhancements, if any, including the guarantee of the federal government or any of its agencies.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses. The Company recognized other-than-temporary impairment losses of $245,000 for the six months ended June 2008. Future losses could be recognized if it is determined that securities are other-than-temporarily impaired.

Income Taxes:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as net operating losses, capital losses and contribution carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date. To the extent that current available evidence about the future raises doubt about the likelihood of a deferred tax asset being realized, a valuation allowance is established. The judgment about the level of future taxable income, including that which is considered capital, is inherently subjective and is reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate due to non-taxable bank owned life insurance income, non-taxable municipal bond income and, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the valuation allowance established on the capital loss carry forwards.

Overview

Our results of operations depend in part on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities (including mortgage-backed and other securities) and other interest-earning assets primarily cash and interest bearing deposits, and the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of savings accounts, money market accounts, transaction accounts, certificates of deposit, long- and short-term borrowings and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Our results of operations also are affected by our provisions for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expense. Non-interest income currently consists primarily of deposit account fees and service charges, dividends on mutual funds, increases in cash value-insurance, insurance commissions, gains and losses on the sale or impairment of securities, gains and losses on trading securities and miscellaneous other income. In addition, non-interest income reflects changes in fair value for our trading securities, which may have a significant impact on our future results of operations. Non-interest expense currently consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, advertising and marketing, service charges, professional fees, directors’ fees, supplies and other operating expenses, including assessments for deposit insurance. Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

The government’s actions taken in response to the current economic crisis have been unprecedented, and included the approval of a $700 billion allocation toward purchasing troubled assets and stabilizing large financial institutions, temporarily guaranteeing senior debt of certain FDIC-insured institutions, increasing FDIC insurance to $250,000 for all deposit accounts through December 31, 2013 and extending unlimited FDIC insurance on non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts. There will likely be increased regulatory oversight implemented as a result of these actions. In addition, a substantial portion of the cost associated with economic recovery plans will likely be shifted to financial institutions in the manner similar to that during the 1980’s savings and loan crisis. The additional regulatory burden and costs may be significant to the Company.

The FDIC increased the current deposit insurance assessment rates uniformly for all institutions by 7 basis points (to a range from 12 to 50 basis points) for the first quarter of 2009. The FDIC also changed the way federal deposit insurance assessment rates are calculated beginning in the second quarter of 2009 and thereafter. Due to the changes implemented, our regular FDIC assessment rate for the first six months of 2009 increased by $40,000. Because of adjustments to its initial base assessment rate, we believe the rule will have a material negative effect on our earnings. The FDIC also adopted an interim rule imposing a 5 basis point emergency special assessment. The assessment is $88,000 which was included as an expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and will be paid on September 30, 2009. The interim rule would also permit the FDIC to impose an additional emergency special assessment, of up to 10 basis points, if necessary, to maintain public confidence in federal deposit insurance.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

General. Net income increased $372,000 to $47,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a loss of $325,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to a $254,000 increase in net interest income and a $347,000 increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $221,000 increase in noninterest expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $254,000, or 22.9%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was due primarily to a $26.4 million, or 18.8%, increase in average interest-earning assets and a 42 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, offset partially by a $30.2 million, or 24.3%, increase in average interest-earning liabilities and a 17 basis point decrease in the average interest-earning asset yield. The increase in the average interest-earning assets is due to higher loan volume driven by the low rate environment, which translated to lower asset yield and a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest income increased $315,000, or 15.5%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Interest income from loans increased $436,000, or 25.4%, offset by decreases in interest from mortgage-backed securities, trading securities and other interest earning assets of $46,000, $48,000 and $27,000, respectively.

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

The increased interest and fee income from loans is primarily due to the $35.9 million, or 32.5%, increase in the average loans outstanding to $146.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $110.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Increased loan volumes were driven by the low rate environment which also reduced the average yield earned on loans by 33 basis points to 5.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from 6.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Mortgage-backed securities interest income decreased as a result of average balances decreasing $2.8 million, or 20.3%, to $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and to yield earned declining 33 basis points. Because the loan volume is significant, we have not purchased additional mortgage-backed securities. The existing mortgage-backed securities portfolio is comprised primarily of variable rate securities which have repriced due to the low rate environment.

Trading securities average balances decreased $2.4 million, or 54.1%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, which is the primary reason for the reduced interest income. The remaining securities are variable rate securities, which have adjusted downward in concert with the general rate environment.

Interest from other interest-earning assets decreased $27,000, or 32.1%, to $57,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $84,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, which is primarily due to other average interest-earning assets decreasing $4.4 million from $11.8 million at June 30, 2008 to $7.5 million at June 30, 2009. With greater loan volume, we have reduced our other interest-earning asset balances.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $61,000, or 6.6%, to $987,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $926,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The net increase in interest expense resulted from a decrease of $29,000, or 53.7%, in demand deposit interest expense and a $33,000, or 5.8%, decrease in certificate of deposits interest expense, offset by an increase of $93,000, or 102.2% in borrowings interest expense, an increase of $14,000, or 7.5%, in savings deposit accounts interest expense and an increase of $16,000, or 72.7%, on money market accounts.

The decrease in demand deposit interest expense is attributable to a decrease in the average balance of $877,000, or 6.8%, to $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and an 84 basis point decrease in the average demand deposits cost during the same comparable period. During 2008, we had introduced a high-yield e-statement checking account with the opening of our new Auburn Auto Bank. The rates have since been reduced in response to the general rate environment, which has resulted in reduction in checking account balances.

Certificate of deposit interest expense decreased $33,000, or 5.8%, to $539,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $572,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 which is primarily attributable to a 102 basis point decrease in certificates of deposit cost to 3.34% for the three month ended June 30, 2009 from 4.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The average cost decreased as rates offered on new and maturing certificates of deposit were reduced as a result of the current low rate environment.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $93,000 to $184,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $91,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The primary reason for the increased borrowing expense is that the average borrowings increased $13.1 million, or 151.0%, to $21.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in the average borrowings balance, which was primarily used in the funding of our loan growth, was partially offset by an 82 basis point decrease in borrowing costs to 3.38% from 4.20% during the comparable period, which is consistent with the current low rate environment.

Savings interest expense increased $14,000, or 7.50%, to $201,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $187,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, which was due to average savings increasing $3.3 million, or 7.20%, to $48.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $45.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increased average balances were the result of new account inflow presumably due to a general concern over the economy.

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

Money market interest expense increased $16,000, or 72.7%, to $38,000 for the three month ended June 30, 3009 from $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was attributable to the increase in the average money market balances of $2.7 million, or 56.4%, to $7.5 million at June 30, 2009 from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increased average balances were also the result of increased new account activity.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $45,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $33,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Loans in nonaccrual status that were included in loans receivable totaled $167,000 at June 30, 2009 as compared to $216,000 at December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 represented 0.11% and 0.16% of total loans, respectively. The provision was increased to reflect the higher risk associated with further diversification of the loan portfolio from residential loans to more nonresidential, commercial, auto and other consumer loans, as well as higher net loans receivable.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $347,000, or 249.6%, to $486,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $139,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is primarily due to recording a security impairment in the prior year, a $120,000 increase in income from net trading security activity, an $18,000 increase in banking fees and service charges and a $2,000 increase in other noninterest income, offset partially by a $21,000 decrease in mortgage banking income and a $17,000 decrease in insurance commissions.

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a $245,000 impairment on one security, which was not repeated in the current period.

Net trading security activity represents net gains and losses on trading security values and net gains and losses on trading securities sold. The loss incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was primarily from market value loss of our shares in the AMF Ultra Short Mortgage Fund (the “Fund”), which lost $97,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. We have redeemed $250,000 from the Fund every 90 days through 2008 and in 2009, which has reduced our holdings to $185,000. We anticipate redeeming the last of the shares in August 2009, depending on market conditions.

The increase in banking fees and service charges is consistent with our deposit growth and is primarily derived from checking account fees and ATM and debit card fees.

Our mortgage banking income decreased $21,000 during the comparative period as we sold $1.5 million in residential mortgages at a loss of $7,000, mark to market losses of $10,000 on $688,000 of loans held for sale and experienced a $4,000 decrease in servicing income. We did not sell any loans in the prior period.

Insurance commissions decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2009, as we had focused our efforts on selling the Agency during the first portion of the year. Due to health concerns of the principal of the proposed acquirer, the negotiations were stopped in June 2009. Our plan is to refocus our efforts on marketing the Agency’s products and to increase its market penetration.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $221,000, or 14.6%, and was $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is primarily due to a $130,000 increase in FDIC assessments for deposit insurance, $32,000 increase in occupancy & equipment expenses, $13,000 increase in service charges, $39,000 increase in professional fees and $23,000 increase in fees for advertising, supplies and telephone and postage, which were partially offset by a $16,000 decrease in other noninterest expenses.

Our FDIC assessment(s) for deposit insurance includes an $88,000 special assessment that was accrued at June 30, 2009. In addition, our FDIC assessment(s) for deposit insurance increased another $40,000 due primarily to changes made in the calculation method used by the FDIC to determine its regular assessment. We anticipate the FDIC deposit insurance expense to increase further.

The increased occupancy and equipment expense, advertising, supplies and telephone and postage are primarily associated with the opening of offices in Auburn and Union Springs.

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

Service charges are higher primarily as a result of higher ATM and debit card fees assessed by third parties for increased activity. Professional fees increased due to costs associated with the enhancement and review of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which is required by the SEC.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $25,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $29,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. In the prior year, we had established a valuation allowance against the estimated deferred tax benefit associated with the capital losses realized on the sale of certain securities and the impairment charges as it is more likely than not that we will not have sufficient taxable capital gains to offset the capital losses created. In the current year, the effective tax rate is 34.7%, reflecting some benefit from our nontaxable investment securities and bank-owned life insurance.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

General. Net income increased $453,000 to $182,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a loss of $271,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was attributable to a $542,000 increase in net interest income and a $354,000 increase in non-interest income, offset partially by an increase of $369,000 in noninterest expense and a $51,000 increase in income tax expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $542,000, or 25.1%, to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was attributable to an increase of $27.9 million, or 20.4%, increase in average interest-earning assets and a 56 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, offset partially by a $31.8 million, or 26.4%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities and a 25 basis point decline in the average interest-earning asset yield. The decreased yield from interest-earning assets was primarily because of higher loan volumes at lower rates. The low rate environment also resulted in lower rates for interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $615,000, or 15.3%, to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, which is the result of loan growth and a reduction in lower yielding trading and mortgage-backed securities and other interest-earning assets.

Average loans increased $35.2 million, or 32.6%, to $143.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $108.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Interest and fee income from loans increased $852,000, or 25.3%, to $4.2 million from $3.4 million during the same period. Yields on loans decreased 34 basis points to 5.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from 6.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, which is the result of reducing loan rates in response to the market.

Trading securities average balances decreased $2.6 million, or 54.8%, to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. We have not purchased new securities to replace maturing securities given the strong loan volume. The yield earned on trading securities has declined 331 basis points as the remaining securities are variable rate indexed to LIBOR.

Interest income from mortgage-backed securities decreased $88,000, or 23.4%, to $288,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $376,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of $2.7 million, or 19.2%, to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. We have reduced our mortgage-backed security portfolio due to increased loan volume. The yield earned on the mortgage-backed securities declined 28 basis points because many of the remaining securities are variable rate and have repriced due to the low rate environment.

Average other interest-earning assets decreased $2.1 million, or 21.4%, to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The reason for the decline in other interest-earning assets is that we focused on maintaining loan growth. Interest earned decreased $49,000, or 32.0%, to $104,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $153,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The yield earned on average other interest-earning assets decreased 43 basis points to 2.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from 3.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as rates received on term deposits decreased in response to the current rate environment.

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $73,000, or 3.9%, and was $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the cost of our borrowings and money market accounts offset by lower cost for our interest-bearing demand deposit, savings and certificate of deposit accounts.

Average borrowings increased $15.7 million, or 173.7%, to $24.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, which is the result of funding a portion of our asset growth with long-term borrowings.

Average money market accounts increased $2.3 million, or 47.6%, to $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, which is the primary reason that the expense increased $28,000 for the comparative period. The average cost of money market accounts increased 18 basis points from 1.86% to 2.04%, as the average individual money market account balances increased and are paid more in our tiered money market product.

Average interest-bearing demand deposits and escrow increased $814,000, or 7.7%, to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. During the same comparable periods, the cost of interest-bearing demand deposits decreased 46 basis points to 0.79% from 1.25%. During 2008, we had introduced a high-yield e-statement checking account with the opening of our new Auburn Auto Bank. The rates have since been reduced in response to the general rate environment.

Average savings accounts increased $2.3 million, or 5.2%, to $47.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $44.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. During the same comparable periods, savings interest expense decreased $34,000, or 8.2% to $382,000 from $416,000 and average cost decreased 24 basis points. The increased average balances are due to new account activity at all offices. The decreased savings interest expense is due primarily to a reduction in our IRA savings rates that are tied to a Treasury index.

Average certificates of deposit increased $10.7 million, or 20.9%, to $61.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $51.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. During the same time period, the cost of certificates of deposit decreased 108 basis points to 3.40% from 4.48%. The lower average costs were realized despite higher average balances primarily because the average maturity shortened as consumers are not willing to accept longer terms at higher rates given the market’s uncertainty.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $86,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $63,000 for the period ending June 30, 2008. The increased provision reflects the higher risk associated with further diversification of the loan portfolio and higher net loans receivable.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $354,000, or 52.0%, to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $681,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Increases of $13,000 from banking fees, $19,000 from other noninterest income, a decrease of $245,000 in impairment loss and a $106,000 decrease in net losses on trading securities activity, were partially offset by a $12,000 reduction in mortgage banking income and $17,000 decrease in insurance commissions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized an impairment loss on our holdings of the AMF Large Cap Equity Fund (“LCEF”). We have maintained our investment in the LCEF, which is primarily invested in large cap stocks. The market value of the LCEF shares is currently above our carrying value. There are no plans for divesting this security.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, our investment in the AMF Ultra Short Mortgage Fund (“Fund”) generated net losses of $126,000 as compared to net losses of $18,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We plan to fully divest of the Fund shares during August.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $369,000, or 12.3%, and was $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was the result of a $24,000 increase in service charges caused by increased transaction volume, a $66,000 increase in professional fees due to increased costs associated with the development and audit of internal controls over financial reporting, a

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

$120,000 net increase in occupancy and equipment expense, advertising, supplies, telephone and postage incurred with the opening of our Auburn Auto Bank and Union Springs offices and an increase of $151,000 for FDIC assessment for deposit insurance, which includes an $88,000 special assessment.

Income Taxes. The income tax expense was $102,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to an expense of $51,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 35.9%. For the prior comparable period, we established a valuation allowance for the deferred tax benefit capital losses incurred on securities as it is more likely than not that we will not be able to realize the benefit of the tax carryforward.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008

Assets. Total assets increased by $14.1 million, or 8.0%, to $191.2 million at June 30, 2009 from $177.0 million at December 31, 2008 primarily due to an increases in cash and cash equivalents, net loans receivable, premises and equipment and pension plan asset, offset partially by a decrease in interest-bearing term deposits, trading securities and mortgage-backed securities, FHLB stock and other assets.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.4 million, or 58.3%, to $6.4 million at June 30, 2009 from $4.0 million at December 31, 2008, as we received funds from maturing interest-bearing term deposits in the second quarter of 2009 which were not immediately re-invested as we consider alternatives available to us.

Interest-bearing term deposits. Interest-bearing term deposits decreased $1.1 million, or 45.8%, to $1.4 million at June 30, 2009 from $2.5 million at December 31, 2008. Term deposits that have matured during the second quarter of 2009 have not been reinvested in term deposits.

Trading securities. Trading securities decreased $616,000, or 25.0%, to $1.9 million at June 30, 2009 from $2.5 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily from the receipt of principal payments on mortgage-backed securities, which were not reinvested.

Securities. Securities decreased by $3.1 million, or 20.2%, to $12.1 million at June 30, 2009 from $15.1 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to principal payments received and the maturity of a $2.0 million school bond, of which $780,000 was reinvested.

Loans receivable. Loans receivable increased by $14.6 million, or 10.6%, to $152.6 million at June 30, 2009 from $138.0 million at December 31, 2008. The current low rate environment is the primary reason for the increased loan volume. Our conventional, multi-family and non-residential mortgages increased $10.9 million during the first six months of 2009, and our automobile, manufactured homes and commercial loans increased $5.1 million during the same period. We plan to continue to increase our loan portfolio, maintaining our primary focus on residential lending, but also increasing the proportion of nonresidential, commercial business, commercial real estate, automobile and manufactured home loans.

Premises and equipment. Premises and equipment increased by $1.0 million, or 16.7%, to $7.3 million at June 30, 2009 from $6.3 million at December 31, 2008. The increase is due to the costs incurred to complete our Union Springs full service branch and the purchase of a investment property in downtown Seneca Falls that currently houses the National Women’s Hall of Fame, which has entered into a ten-year lease with the Bank for the building.

Pension Plan Asset. Pension plan asset increased $1.5 million to $1.6 million at June 30, 2009 from $86,000 at December 31, 2008. In January 2009, we contributed $1.5 million to the pension plan.

Deposits. Deposits increased by $21.8 million, or 16.9%, to $150.7 million at June 30, 2009 from $128.9 million at December 31, 2008. We have increased deposits within every category which is due to new offices opened in Auburn and Union Springs and to general market conditions.

Short-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings were reduced to zero at June 30, 2009 from $10.7 million at December 31, 2008 with the inflow of deposits.

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

Long-term debt. Long-term debt increased by $2.4 million, or 13.2%, to $20.7 million at June 30, 2009 from $18.3 million at December 31, 2008. We increased our long-term debt to take advantage of the low rate environment and reduce our interest rate risk exposure.

Shareholders’ equity. Total shareholders’ equity increased $75,000, or 0.45%, to $16.9 million at June 30, 2009 from $16.8 million at December 31, 2008. The net increase was primarily the result net income of $182,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $73,000 in our other comprehensive income, offset partially by the reduction of $189,000 for the purchase of 35,000 shares of treasury stock.

At June 30, 2009, two one- to four-family residential mortgages classified as substandard and accruing interest are not included in the above table. Both loans have payment arrangements in place and are 60 days delinquent. In addition, one nonresidential loan relationship with three loans outstanding, located in Ovid, New York and secured by three mix-used buildings with an aggregate balance of $111,000 was classified as substandard, is accruing interest and is not included in the above table. The loans are all currently up to 60 days delinquent, and the borrowers are adhering to a repayment plan which will eventually bring them back to a current status. In the past, the borrowers have been unable to maintain a consistent repayment schedule.

There were no other loans or other assets that are not disclosed in the table or disclosed as classified or special mention, where known information about the possible credit problems of borrowers caused us to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity management involves the Company’s ability to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to support asset growth and reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals, to maintain reserve requirements, and to otherwise operate the Company on an ongoing basis. The Company’s primary sources of funds consist of deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments, interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions and funds provided from operations. Loan repayments and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds. However, deposit flows, calls of investment securities, and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and local economic conditions, and competition in the marketplace. These factors reduce the predictability of the timing of these sources of funds.

Seneca-Cayuga Bancorp, Inc.

The Company has an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank that allows it to borrow up to $69.1 million. At June 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding advances and amortizing notes totaling $20.7 million. The Company also has a repurchase agreement with a correspondent bank providing an additional $10.0 million in liquidity, which is secured by the Company’s mortgage-backed securities. There were no advances outstanding under the repurchase agreement at June 30, 2009.

A significant decrease in deposits in the future could result in the Company having to seek other sources of funds for liquidity purposes. Such sources could include, but are not limited to, additional borrowings, trust preferred security offerings, brokered deposits, negotiated time deposits, the sale of trading securities, the sale of securitized loans, or the sale of whole loans. Such actions could result in higher interest expense costs and/or losses on the sale of securities or loans.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had loan commitments to borrowers of approximately $6.8 million and unused lines of credit of approximately $8.0 million. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company originated loans of $15.7 million, as compared to $12.7 million of loans originated in the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. There were $3.1 million in one- to four-family mortgages sold through the six months ended June 30, 2009. There were $28,000 in letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2009.

Time deposit accounts scheduled to mature within one year were $55.1 million at June 30, 2009. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of these time deposits will remain with the Company. We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position; therefore, the Company monitors its liquidity position on a daily basis. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds to meet its current funding commitments. The marginal cost of new funding however, whether from deposits or borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, will be carefully considered as the Company monitors its liquidity needs. Therefore, in order to minimize its costs of funds, the Company may consider additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank in the future.

At June 30, 2009, the Seneca Falls Savings Bank (“Bank”) exceeded each of the applicable regulatory capital requirements. The Bank’s leverage (Tier 1) capital at June 30, 2009 was $16.9 million, or 8.8% of adjusted assets. In order to be classified as “well-capitalized” by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), the Bank is required to have Tier 1 capital of $9.6 million, or 5.0% of adjusted assets. To be classified as a well-capitalized bank by the OTS, the Bank must also have a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0%. At June 30, 2009, the Bank had a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.3%.
