Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries 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. Certain amounts in the 2011 consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.

The following material under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" is written with the presumption that the users of the interim financial statements have read, or have access to, the Company's latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the two years then ended. Therefore, only material changes in financial condition and results of operations are discussed in the remainder of Part 1.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

None.

(3) Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income available to common shareholders is net income less the total of preferred dividends declared and the amortization of the preferred stock discount value under the CPP program during 2011. Diluted earnings per share include the potential dilutive effect that could occur upon the assumed exercise of issued stock options and the warrants issued to the U.S. Treasury using the treasury stock method. 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 to plan participants.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In thousands, except per share data)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Basic Earnings Per Common Share

We conduct a formal review of investment securities on a quarterly basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). We assess whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis at the statement of condition date. Under these circumstances, OTTI is considered to have occurred (1) if we intend to sell the security; (2) if it is “more likely than not” we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not anticipated to be sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. The guidance requires that credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings while non-credit-related OTTI on securities not expected to be sold is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Non-credit-related OTTI is based on other factors, including illiquidity and changes in the general interest rate environment. Presentation of OTTI is made in the consolidated statement of income on a gross basis, including both the portion recognized in earnings as well as the portion recorded in OCI. The gross OTTI would then be offset by the amount of non-credit-related OTTI, showing the net as the impact on earnings.

Tabel of Contents

The Company’s investment securities portfolio includes two corporate securities representing trust preferred issuances from large money center financial institutions. The securities have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The securities are both floating rate notes that adjust quarterly to LIBOR (“London Interbank Offered Rate”). These securities are reflecting a net unrealized loss due to current similar offerings being originated at higher spreads to LIBOR, as the market currently demands a greater pricing premium for the associated risk. Management has performed a detailed credit analysis on the underlying companies and has concluded that neither issue is credit impaired. Due to the fact that each security has approximately 15 years until final maturity, and management has determined that there is no related credit impairment, the associated pricing risk is managed similar to long-term, low yielding, 15 and 30-year fixed rate residential mortgages carried in the Company’s loan portfolio. The risk is managed through the Company’s extensive interest rate risk management procedures. The Company expects the present value of expected cash flows will be sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. Thus, the securities are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of June 30, 2012 represents OTTI. All related securities are A rated or better by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s. The unrealized losses in the portfolio are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. The Company does not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

The following table presents a roll-forward of the amount related to credit losses recognized in earnings for the periods ended June 30:

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, securities with a fair value of $60.9 million and $61.2 million, respectively, were pledged to collateralize certain deposit and borrowing arrangements.

Management has reviewed its loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and determined that, to the best of its knowledge, little or no exposure exists to sub-prime or other high-risk residential mortgages. The Company is not in the practice of investing in, or originating, these types of investments or loans.

(5) Pension and Postretirement Benefits

The Company has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all employees. On May 14, 2012, the Company informed its employees of its decision to freeze participation and benefit accruals under the plan, primarily to reduce some of the volatility in earnings that can accompany the maintenance of a defined benefit plan. The freeze became effective June 30, 2012. Compensation earned by employees up to June 30, 2012 is used for purposes of calculating benefits under the plan but there will be no future benefit accruals after this date. Participants as of June 30, 2012 will continue to earn vesting credit with respect to their frozen accrued benefits as they continue to work.

- 11 -

Tabel of Contents

Prior to being frozen, the plan provided defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. Although the plan was frozen, the Company maintains the responsibility for funding the plan, and its funding practice is to contribute at least the minimum amount annually to meet minimum funding requirements. The funded status of the plan has and will continue to be affected by market conditions. We expect to continue to fund this plan on an as needed basis and do not foresee any issues or conditions that could negatively impact the payment of benefit obligations to plan participants. In addition, the Company provides certain health and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees. The healthcare plan is contributory with participants’ contributions adjusted annually; the life insurance plan is noncontributory. Employees with less than 14 years of service as of January 1, 1995, are not eligible for the health and life insurance retirement benefits.

The composition of net periodic pension plan and postretirement plan costs for the indicated periods is as follows:

The Company made a contribution in the amount of $2.6 million to the defined benefit pension plan in January of 2012. The Company will evaluate any need for further contributions to the defined benefit pension plan during the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Company originates residential mortgage, commercial and consumer loans largely to customers throughout Oswego, Onondaga, Jefferson, and Oneida counties. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its borrowers’ abilities to honor their contracts is dependent upon the counties’ employment and economic conditions.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of $64.6 million and $65.8 million, respectively, have been pledged by the Company to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York under a blanket collateral agreement to secure the Company’s line of credit and term borrowings.

Loan Origination / Risk Management

The Company’s lending policies and procedures are presented in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2011 Annual Report filed on form 10-K on March 29, 2012, and have not changed.

To develop and document a systematic methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. Each portfolio segment is broken down into loan classes where appropriate. Loan classes contain unique measurement attributes, risk characteristics and methods for monitoring and assessing risk that are necessary to develop the allowance for loan losses. Unique characteristics such as borrower type, loan type, collateral type, and risk characteristics define each class. The following table illustrates the portfolio segments and classes for the Company’s loan portfolio:

Portfolio Segment	Class

Residential Mortgage Loans	1-4 family first-lien residential mortgages
	Construction

Commercial Loans	Real estate
	Lines of credit
	Other commercial and industrial
	Municipal

Consumer Loans	Home equity and junior liens

(8) Guarantees

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company had $2.1 million of standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2012. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The fair value of standby letters of credit was not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(9) Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

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 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

An asset’s 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.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximizes the use of observable inputs, minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Tabel of Contents

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Investment securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are obtained from an independent third party and are based on quoted prices on nationally recognized exchange where available (Level 1). 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.

Interest rate swap derivative: The fair value of the interest rate swap derivative is calculated based on a discounted cash flow model. All future floating cash flows are projected and both floating and fixed cash flows are discounted to the valuation date. The curve utilized for discounting and projecting is built by obtaining publicly available third party market quotes for various swap maturity terms.

Impaired loans: Impaired loans are those loans in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third party appraisals of the properties and/or estimates by management of working capital collateral or discounted cash flows based upon expected proceeds. Management modifies the appraised values, if needed, to take into account recent developments in the market or other factors, such as changes in absorption rates or market conditions from the time of valuation, and anticipated sales values considering management’s plans for disposition. Such modifications to the appraised values could result in lower valuations of such collateral. Estimated costs to sell are based on current amounts of disposal costs for similar assets. These measurements are classified as level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Impaired loans are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustment upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance.

Foreclosed real estate: Fair values for foreclosed real estate are initially recorded based on market value evaluations by third parties, less costs to sell (“initial cost basis”). Any write-downs required when the related loan receivable is exchanged for the underlying real estate collateral at the time of transfer to foreclosed real estate are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Values are derived from appraisals of underlying collateral or discounted cash flow analysis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically and assets are marked to current fair value, not to exceed the initial cost basis. In the determination of fair value subsequent to foreclosure, management also considers other factors or recent developments, such as changes in absorption rates and market conditions from the time of valuation, and anticipated sales values considering management’s plans for disposition, which could result in adjustment to lower the property value estimates indicated in the appraisals. These measurements are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables summarize assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the indicated dates, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

Required disclosures include fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statement of condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’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 Company could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period-ends, 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 period-end.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The Company, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amounts of these assets approximate their fair value.

Interest earning time deposits – The carrying amounts of these assets approximate their fair value.

Investment securities – The fair values of securities available for sale are obtained from an independent third party and are based on quoted prices on nationally recognized exchange where available (Level 1). 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 stock – The carrying amount of these assets approximates their fair value.

Loans – For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently, fair value is based on carrying amounts. The fair value of other loans (for example, fixed-rate commercial real estate loans, mortgage loans, and commercial and industrial loans) is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan value estimates include judgments based on expected prepayment rates. The measurement of the fair value of loans is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Accrued interest receivable and payable – The carrying amount of these assets approximates their fair value.

Interest rate swap derivative – The fair value of the interest rate swap derivative is obtained from a third party pricing agent and is calculated based on a discounted cash flow model. All future floating cash flows are projected and both floating and fixed cash flows are discounted to the valuation date. The curve utilized for discounting and projecting is built by obtaining publicly available third party market quotes for various swap maturity terms, and therefore is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Deposits – The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing checking, passbook savings and certain types of money management accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts) and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. 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 of deposits to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. Measurements of the fair value of time deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Borrowings – Fixed/variable term “bullet” structures are valued using a replacement cost of funds approach. These borrowings are discounted to the FHLBNY advance curve. Option structured borrowings’ fair values are determined by the FHLB for borrowings that include a call or conversion option. If market pricing is not available from this source, current market indications from the FHLBNY are obtained and the borrowings are discounted to the FHLBNY advance curve less an appropriate spread to adjust for the option. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Junior subordinated debentures – Current economic conditions have rendered the market for this liability inactive. As such, we are unable to determine a good estimate of fair value. Since the rate paid on the debentures held is lower than what would be required to secure an interest in the same debt at year end, and we are unable to obtain a current fair value, we have disclosed that the carrying value approximates the fair value.

Off-balance sheet instruments – Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. Such fees were not material at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of the indicated dates are presented in the following table:

(10) Interest Rate Derivatives

Derivative instruments are entered into primarily as a risk management tool of the Company. Financial derivatives are recorded at fair value as other assets and other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. For a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument and changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability are recognized currently in earnings. For a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument, to the extent that it is effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to earnings as the hedged transaction impacts net income. Any ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge is recognized currently in earnings. See Note 9 for further discussion of the fair value of the interest rate derivative.

The Company has $5 million of floating rate Trust Preferred debt indexed to 3-month LIBOR. As a result, it is exposed to variability in cash flows related to changes in projected interest payments caused by changes in the benchmark interest rate. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, with a $2 million notional amount, to convert a portion of the variable-rate junior subordinated debentures to a fixed rate for a term of approximately 7 years at a rate of 4.96%. The derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge. The hedging strategy ensures that changes in cash flows from the derivative will be highly effective at offsetting changes in interest expense from the hedged exposure.

Cash flow hedge:
	Other liabilities	$	205	$	200

The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss on a pretax basis and the impact on earnings from the interest rate swap that qualifies as a cash flow hedge for the periods indicated below were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2012			2011			2012			2011
Balance as of March 31:	$	(194	)	$	(85	)	$	(200	)	$	(110	)
Amount of losses recognized in other comprehensive income		(27	)		(64	)		(35	)		(54	)

Balance as of June 30:	$	(205	)	$	(135	)	$	(205	)	$	(135	)

No amount of ineffectiveness has been included in earnings and the changes in fair value have been recorded in other comprehensive income. Some, or all, of the amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss would be reclassified into current earnings should a portion of, or the entire hedge no longer be considered effective, but at this time, management expects the hedge to remain fully effective during the remaining term of the swap.

The Company posted cash, of $200,000, under arrangements to satisfy collateral requirements associated with the interest rate swap contract.

(11) Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date that these consolidated financial statements were issued. On June 28, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.03 per common share. The dividend is payable on August 1, 2012 to shareholders of record on July 13, 2012.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) the term, “the Company”, refers to the consolidated entity of Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc. Pathfinder Bank and Pathfinder Statutory Trust II are wholly owned subsidiaries of Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc., however, Pathfinder Statutory Trust II is not consolidated for reporting purposes. Pathfinder Commercial Bank, Pathfinder REIT, Inc., Pathfinder Risk Management, Inc., and Whispering Oaks Development Corp. are wholly owned subsidiaries of Pathfinder Bank. At June 30, 2012, Pathfinder Bancorp, M.H.C., the Company’s mutual holding company parent, whose activities are not included in the consolidated financial statements or the MD&A, held 60.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and public shareholders, including shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), held the remaining 39.5% of the outstanding common stock.

The following discussion reviews the Company's financial condition at June 30, 2012 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this quarterly report the words or phrases “will likely result”, “are expected to”, “will continue”, “is anticipated”, “estimate”, ”project” or similar expression are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. By identifying these forward-looking statements for you in this manner, the Company is alerting you to the possibility that its actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. 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 various factors 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. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the consolidated financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("the consolidated financial statements"). 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. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the allowance for loan losses, deferred income taxes, pension obligations, the evaluation of investment securities for other than temporary impairment and the estimation of fair values for accounting and disclosure purposes to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective and complex judgments, and as such, could be the most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The Company establishes a specific allowance for all loans identified as being impaired with a balance in excess of $100,000 which are on nonaccrual or have been risk rated under the Company’s risk rating system as substandard, doubtful, or loss. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based upon the present value of future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell. The majority of the Company’s impaired loans are collateral-dependent. For all other loans and leases, the Company uses the general allocation methodology that establishes an allowance to estimate the probable incurred loss for each risk-rating category. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated statement of condition. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses, and a discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included in this report.

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 financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as net operating and capital loss 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.

Pension and post-retirement benefit plan liabilities and expenses are based upon actuarial assumptions of future events, including fair value of plan assets, interest rates and the length of time the Company will have to provide those benefits. The assumptions used by management are discussed in Note 12 in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company carries all of its investments at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses reported net of tax as an adjustment to shareholders' equity, except for security impairment losses, which are charged to earnings. The Company's ability to fully realize the value of its investments in various securities, including corporate debt securities, is dependent on the underlying creditworthiness of the issuing organization. In evaluating the security portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) if

we intend to sell the security; (2) if it is “more likely than not” we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. In determining whether OTTI has occurred for equity securities, the Company considers the applicable factors described above and the length of time the equity security’s fair value has been below the carrying amount. Management continually analyzes the portfolio to determine if further impairment has occurred that may be deemed as other-than-temporary. Further charges are possible depending on future economic conditions.

The estimation of fair value is significant to several of our assets, including investment securities available for sale, the interest rate derivative, and foreclosed real estate, as well as the value of loan collateral when valuing loans. These are all recorded at either fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. Fair values are determined based on third party sources, when available. Furthermore, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments as a part of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Fair values may be influenced by a number of factors, including market interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates and the shape of yield curves.

Fair values for securities available for sale and the derivative are obtained from an independent third party pricing service. Where available, fair values are based on quoted prices on a nationally recognized securities exchange. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using quoted market prices for similar benchmark securities. Management makes no adjustments to the fair value quotes that were provided by the pricing source. The fair values of foreclosed real estate and the underlying collateral value of impaired loans are typically determined based on evaluations by third parties, less estimated costs to sell. If necessary, appraisals are updated to reflect changes in market conditions.

Recent Events

On May 14, 2012, the Company informed its employees of its decision to freeze participation and benefit accruals under our non-contributory, tax qualified defined benefit pension plan, primarily to reduce some of the volatility in earnings that can accompany the maintenance of a defined benefit plan. The freeze became effective June 30, 2012. Compensation earned by employees up to June 30, 2012 is used for purposes of calculating benefits under our pension plan but there will be no future benefit accruals after this date. Participants as of June 30, 2012 will continue to earn vesting credit with respect to their frozen accrued benefits as they continue to work. As a result, the Company expects to save approximately $480,000 in pension expenses in the year ending December 31, 2012.

Starting January 1, 2013, we expect to increase benefits under our defined contribution 401(k) savings plan, in the form of an enhanced employer match of employee contributions. This improved match would be combined with a qualified automatic contribution arrangement (or QACA) in order to encourage participation and to permit the plan to qualify for a "safe harbor" from annual discrimination testing.

As reported by the Company on its Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2012, the purchase of the 51% controlling interest in the Fitzgibbons Agency, pending the completion of the final stages of due diligence, was expected to close in the early part of the second quarter of 2012. The Company and the Fitzgibbons Agency are addressing the final elements of the transaction and are working to expedite a closing at the earliest possible time.

Overview and Results of Operations

For the second quarter of 2012, net income was $721,000 and basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.24, an increase over the second quarter of 2011, when the Company reported net income of $587,000 and basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.19. The increase in earnings resulted from an increase in net interest income and a reduction in the provision for loan losses.

For the first half of 2012, net income was $1.2 million and basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.40. This compares to net income of $1.0 million and basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.31 for the same prior year period, with reasons similar to those mentioned for the first quarter’s improvement.

The Company’s return on average assets and return on average equity for the second quarter of 2012 were 0.62% and 7.49%, respectively, as compared to 0.57% and 7.36% for the same prior year period. The Company also reported an improvement in performance in these metrics over the first quarter of 2012.

Average assets for the second quarter of 2012 were $468.2 million and 13.1% greater than the comparable prior year period. This increase was divided among residential mortgages, mortgage-backed securities, and non-taxable investment securities, all of which is in support of the Company’s strategic plan.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the Company's primary source of operating income for payment of operating expenses and providing for loan losses. It is the amount by which interest earned on loans, interest-earning deposits and investment securities, exceeds the interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in net interest income and net interest margin result from the interaction between the volume and composition of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, related yields and associated funding costs.

The following table sets forth information concerning average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the yields and rates thereon for the periods indicated. Interest income and resultant yield information in the table is on a fully tax-equivalent basis using marginal federal income tax rates of 34%. Averages are computed on the daily average balance for each month in the period divided by the number of days in the period. Yields and amounts earned include loan fees. Nonaccrual loans have been included in interest-earning assets for purposes of these calculations.

As indicated in the three month table above, net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This was driven by the increase in average earning assets as net interest margin between the two quarters declined by 35 basis points, a trend that has been continuing for several quarters.

For the first half of 2012, net interest income improved significantly, driven by the increase in interest earning assets. Net interest margin for this period declined 33 basis points to 3.52% when compared to the first half of 2011 as the Company has experienced margin compression, similar to the experience of most other financial institutions, in this continuing low rate environment.

As indicated in the three month table above and in the rate/volume analysis below, total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis increased $45,000 due to an increase in average balances of tax-exempt investment securities, despite a modest decline in yield for this product. The yield on all asset products decreased, with the most significant yield decrease reported in taxable investment securities as maturing mortgage-backed and other securities were replaced with those of shorter duration at current lower market rates to accommodate the liquidity needs of our loan growth initiatives.

Tabel of Contents

Referencing the six month table above and in the rate/volume analysis below, tax-equivalent interest income increased $173,000 between the year over year six month periods. This was principally due to the increase in average balances of residential mortgages and non-taxable investment securities, despite the decline in yields for each of these two products.

Interest expense decreased $109,000 between year over year second quarter periods, as indicated in the above three month table. The primary reason for the decline lower rates paid on certificates of deposits as higher rate maturing certificates of deposit were replaced with lower cost certificates at current market rates.

Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, as indicated above, decreased $197,000 due principally to the decrease in rates paid.

Rate/Volume Analysis

Net interest income can also be analyzed in terms of the impact of changing interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in the volume or amount of these assets and liabilities. The following table represents the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company’s interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to: (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) total increase or decrease. Changes attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated ratably.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level. The Company recorded $150,000 in provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $262,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, a $112,000 decrease. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2012 were $49,000 as compared to net charge-offs of $23,000 for the second quarter of 2011.

Tabel of Contents

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $375,000 in provision for loan losses, significantly less than the $525,000 recorded in the second quarter of 2011. The Company reported a modest improvement in asset quality metrics as annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans were 0.09% for the first half of 2012 as compared to 0.12% for the first half of 2011. Also, nonperforming loans to period end loans at June 30, 2012 were 1.39% as compared to 1.55% and 1.40% at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Delinquency trends of past due 1-4 family residential mortgages improved as of June 30, 2012 when compared to December 31, 2011. This was partially offset by increasing past due amounts of home equity and junior liens when comparing the same two periods.

Noninterest Income

The Company's noninterest income is primarily comprised of fees on deposit account balances and transactions, loan servicing, commissions, and net gains (losses) on securities, loans and foreclosed real estate.

The following table sets forth certain information on noninterest income for the periods indicated:

Total noninterest income	$	1,511	$	1,596	$	(85	)	-5.3	%

As indicated above, noninterest income for the second quarter of 2012, exclusive of net gains and losses from the sale of securities, loans and foreclosed real estate (which items may be subject to larger period to period deviations), improved across all general areas, and most notably within earnings and gain on bank owned life insurance. The Company recorded $37,000 in income from a claim on bank owned life insurance due to the passing of a former Company director. Net gains on the sales and redemptions of investment securities decreased significantly from the same prior year quarter due to significantly less sales within the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, total noninterest income decreased $85,000 compared with the first half of 2011 due primarily to fewer sales of securities within the Company’s investment securities portfolio.

As indicated above, the decrease of $49,000 in noninterest expenses when comparing year over year second quarters was driven by lower FDIC assessment expenses and advertising costs. Elevated spending for advertising in the first quarter of 2011 was in support of the new Cicero branch location. Partially offsetting these expense reductions was an increase in salaries and employee benefits stemming from wage increases and the addition of a management level staff position in support of the Company’s loan sales and origination process.

For the six month period, the $123,000 increase in noninterest expenses was driven by year over year increases in pension costs (included in salaries and employee benefits) of $30,000, stock option and ESOP compensation costs of $93,000 and wage increases and the addition of the above mentioned staff position. Partially offsetting these increases were reduced FDIC assessment expenses due to the new assessment base formula and reduced advertising expenditures from the above mentioned 2011 initiative supporting the new Cicero branch location.

Income Tax Expense

Income taxes decreased modestly by $11,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to a decrease in the effective tax rate to 25.0% as compared to 30.0% for the same prior year period. The effective tax rate reduction was principally due to a greater proportion of tax-exempt items to the total pretax income in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the second quarter of 2011. The Company has reduced its effective tax rate from the combined federal and state statutory rate of 38.7% primarily through the ownership of tax-exempt investment securities, bank owned life insurance and other tax saving strategies.

The effective tax rate for the first half of 2012 was 25.0% as compared to 30.0% for the first half of 2011; the decrease is due to the reasons given above.

Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.24 in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to $0.19 in 2011. This increase was due to net income available to common shareholders of $605,000 in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $136,000 over the same prior year period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.40 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.31 for the same prior year period.

Changes in Financial Condition

Assets

Total assets increased $31.9 million, or 7.2%, to $474.9 million at June 30, 2012, from $443.0 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in total assets was primarily the result of an increase of $23.3 million in the investment securities portfolio and a $7.8 million increase in gross loans. Funds received by the Company following its participation in Treasury’s SBLF program were invested in shorter term taxable and tax-exempt securities to allow subsequent funding of targeted loan growth in support of the Company’s strategic plan.

Liabilities

Total liabilities increased $30.0 million, to $435.1 million at June 30, 2012, from $405.1 million at December 31, 2011. Deposits increased $33.5 million due to an increase in brokered deposits, the opening of the Cicero branch, and growth throughout the remaining branches. Over 89% of our deposits are interest-bearing. This increase in deposits was partially offset by reductions in long-term borrowings of $1.0 million and a reduction in other liabilities of $2.5 million stemming from the Company’s election to make a $2.6 million pension contribution in the first quarter of 2012 to reduce the pension liability.

Capital

Shareholders' equity of $39.8 million increased $2.0 million as compared to December 31, 2011. The Company added $1.2 million through net income which was partially offset by the purchase of warrants from the US Treasury, causing a reduction in shareholders’ equity in the amount of $537,000. Additionally, a $1.2 million increase in equity was recorded from the decision to freeze the pension plan.

Capital adequacy is evaluated primarily by the use of ratios which measure capital against total assets, as well as against total assets that are weighted based on defined risk characteristics. The Company’s goal is to maintain a strong capital position, consistent with the risk profile of its subsidiary banks that supports growth and expansion activities while at the same time exceeding regulatory standards. At June 30, 2012, Pathfinder Bank exceeded all regulatory required minimum capital ratios and met the regulatory definition of a “well-capitalized” institution, i.e. a leverage capital ratio exceeding 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio exceeding 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio exceeding 10%.

Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)	$	39,917		9.4	%	$	17,041		4.0	%	$	21,301		5.0	%

As of March 31, 2012, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council changed the computation for the Tier 1 Capital ratio as it applies to the Bank’s designation as a savings association. The denominator has changed from using the average assets over the prior three months to the assets on the balance sheet as of the end of the March 31, 2012 and subsequent reporting quarters.

Loan and Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

The following table represents information concerning the aggregate amount of non-performing assets at the indicated dates:

	June 30,			December 31,			June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2012			2011			2011
Nonaccrual loans:
Commercial real estate and commercial	$	2,182		$	2,594		$	2,626
Consumer		809			706			400
Residential real estate		1,344			1,428			1,036
Total nonaccrual loans		4,335			4,728			4,062
Total non-performing loans		4,335			4,728			4,062
Foreclosed real estate		419			536			945
Total non-performing assets	$	4,754		$	5,264		$	5,007

Troubled debt restructurings not included above	$	589		$	594		$	602

Non-performing loans to total loans		1.39	%		1.55	%		1.40	%
Non-performing assets to total assets		1.00	%		1.19	%		1.20	%

Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), and foreclosed real estate. Loans are considered modified in a TDR when, due to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company makes a concession(s) to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. These modifications may include, among others, an extension of the term of the loan, and granting a period when interest-only payments can be made, with the principal payments made over the remaining term of the loan or at maturity. TDRs are included in the above table within the following categories of nonaccrual loans or TDRs not included above.

As indicated in the above table, total non-performing loans decreased modestly at June 30, 2012, when compared to December 31, 2011, but slightly above the amounts recorded at June 30, 2011. Management continues to monitor and react to national and local economic trends as well as general portfolio conditions, which may impact the quality of the portfolio. Management believes that the current level of the allowance for loan losses, at $4.2 million, adequately addresses the current level of risk within the loan portfolio. The Company has also maintained strict loan underwriting standards and carefully monitors the performance of the loan portfolio.

Foreclosed real estate balances decreased $117,000 to $419,000 at June 30, 2012, from December 31, 2011 as the Company successfully reduced its inventory of other real estate properties from 11 to 7. Through the first half of 2012, the sale of 7 properties resulted in a modest gain of $15,000. As indicated above, the current level of foreclosed real estate balances have significantly decreased from the balances recorded a year ago.

The majority of the outstanding balances classified as non-performing loans at June 30, 2012 are comprised of commercial real estate, commercial, and residential real estate loans.

The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases accruing interest when loan payment performance is deemed unsatisfactory and the loan is past due 90 days or more. There are no loans that are past due 90 days or more and are still accruing interest. The Company considers a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan.

The measurement of impaired loans is generally based upon the fair value of the collateral with a portion of the impaired loans measured based upon the present value of future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate. The Company used the fair value of collateral to measure impairment on commercial and commercial real estate loans. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $6.0 million and $4.3 million in loans, which were deemed to be impaired, having specific reserves of $949,000 and $619,000, respectively.

Management has identified potential problem loans totaling $9.6 million as of June 30, 2012, compared to $8.0 million in potential problem loans as of December 31, 2011. This increase in problem loans reflects increases in classifications of 1-4 family residential mortgages and home equity and junior liens. These loans have been internally classified as special mention or substandard, yet are not currently considered impaired or in non-accrual status. Management has identified potential credit problems which may result in the borrowers not being able to comply with the current loan repayment terms and which may result in it being included in future impaired loan reporting. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable credit losses in the current loan portfolio. As a result, the ratio of allowance to loan and lease losses to period-end loans at June 30, 2012 was 1.35% as compared to December 31, 2011 of 1.31%, representing an increase of 4 basis points.

Appraisals are obtained at the time a real estate secured loan is originated. For commercial real estate held as collateral, the property is inspected every two years. When evaluating our ability to collect from secondary sources, appraised values are adjusted to reflect the age of appraisal, the condition of the property, the current local real estate market, and cost to sell. Properties are re-appraised when our evaluation of the current property condition and the local real estate market suggests values may not be accurate.

In the normal course of business, Pathfinder Bank has sold residential mortgage loans and participation interests in commercial loans. As is typical in the industry, Pathfinder Bank makes certain representations and warranties to the buyer. Pathfinder Bank maintains a quality control program for closed loans and considers the risks and uncertainties associated with potential repurchase requirements to be minimal. There are no known or alleged defects in the securitization process or in the mortgage documentation. Any future risk of exposure would be immaterial.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves the Company’s ability to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, and otherwise operate the Company on an ongoing basis. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowed funds, amortization and prepayment of loans and maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company manages the pricing of deposits to maintain a desired deposit balance. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning and other assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

The Company's liquidity has been enhanced by its membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, whose competitive advance programs and lines of credit provide the Company with a safe, reliable and convenient source of funds. 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, brokered deposits, negotiated time deposits, the sale of "available-for-sale" investment 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.

For the first half of 2012, as indicated in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company reported net cash flows from financing activities of $31.5 million generated by increased balances of demand and savings deposits, money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposits and brokered deposits. This was invested in available for sale investment securities of $23.3 million, net, and loan generation of $8.2 million. As a recurring source of liquidity, the Company’s investment securities provided $11.4 million in proceeds from maturities and principal reductions through the first half of 2012. Net cash used in operating activities for this same period was $323,000. Net cash flows from operating activities were significantly reduced by the cash used to make the $2.6 million pension contribution in the first quarter of 2012.

The Company has a number of existing credit facilities available to it. Total credit available to the Company under the existing lines of credit is approximately $92.9 million. At June 30, 2012, the Company has $24.0 million outstanding on its existing lines of credit with $68.9 million available.

The Asset Liability Management Committee of the Company is responsible for implementing the policies and guidelines for the maintenance of prudent levels of liquidity. As of June 30, 2012, management reported to the Board of Directors that the Company is in compliance with its liquidity policy guidelines.
