Catskill Financial Corporation (the "Company") was formed in December of 1995

offering of 5,686,750 shares of $.01 par value common stock on April 18, 1996.
Net proceeds to the Company were $54.9 million. The Company utilized

                         CATSKILL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                         Notes to Unaudited Consolidated
                          Interim Financial Statements



Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

           The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the
           accounts of Catskill Financial Corporation ("Company") and its wholly
           owned subsidiary, Catskill Savings Bank ("Bank"). In Management's
           opinion, the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements
           reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, and disclosures
           which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
           interim periods presented, and should be read in conjunction with the
           consolidated financial statements and related notes included in
           Catskill Financial's filed Form S-1. The results of operations for
           the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of
           operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ended September
           30, 1996.

Note 2.  Earnings per share

           On April 18, 1996, Catskill Financial Corporation completed its
           initial public stock offering of 5,686,750 common shares. Concurrent
           with the public offering, approximately 8% of the shares offered
           (454,940) were purchased by the Catskill Financial Corporation
           Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). Since the Company has not
           committed to release these shares as of June 30, 1996, under AICPA
           Statement of Position 93-6, these shares are not considered to be
           outstanding for purposes of calculating per share amounts. Weighted
           average common shares for the quarter ending June 30, 1996 of
           4,254,439 have been calculated based on the actual number of days the
           shares were outstanding during the quarter. In addition, in
           calculating earnings per share, reported net income of $1,139,000 has
           been adjusted to $949,000, representing estimated operating results
           since the shares were issued. If the common shares are not weighted
           for the actual days outstanding during the quarter, average common
           shares would be 5,231,810 and earnings per share for the post
           conversion period would be $.18.

Note 3.  Loss Contingency

           On February 6, 1995, the New York Superintendent of Banks took
           possession of Nationar, a New York chartered bank that provided
           correspondent banking and related services for various banking
           institutions, including the Bank. At the time Nationar was seized,
           the Bank had approximately $3.3 million on deposit with Nationar. As
           of September 30, 1995, the Bank set up a reserve for probable losses
           of $660,000, representing approximately 20% of the Bank's deposit
           claim. In June 1996, the Bank received a cash payment of $3.1 million
           on account of its claim, and its remaining unresolved claim is
           approximately $150,000. It is uncertain how much of the remaining
           claim will be paid, but it is certain that some losses will occur on
           portions of the remaining claim, so management has determined to
           maintain $100,000 of the loss reserve and has included in "other
           income" the recovery of $560,000 of the loss contingency reserve.

                          Interim Financial Statements



Note 4.  Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")

           The Company approved the adoption of an ESOP for the benefit of full
           time salaried employees. Employees are eligible to participate after
           they attain age 21 and complete one year of service, during which
           they work at least 1,000 hours.

           Employees will be credited for years of service to the Bank prior to
           the adoption of the ESOP for participation and vesting purposes. Each
           participant's ESOP account will be credited with cash and shares of
           the Company common stock based on compensation earned during the year
           with respect to which an ESOP contribution is made.

           On April 18, the ESOP borrowed $4.5 million from the Company, and
           purchased approximately 8% of the common shares issued in the
           Company's initial public offering. Since the Company has not
           committed to release these shares, the 454,940 shares held by the
           ESOP are not considered outstanding for earnings per share
           computations.

           Compensation expense for the plan will be determined as shares held
           by the ESOP are released to plan participants. It is expected that
           the ESOP will repay the loan through periodic tax-deductible
           contributions from the Company over a period of not less than 10
           years.

           For the three month and nine month periods ended June 30, 1996,
           salaries and employee benefits included $78,000, representing the
           expected release of shares held by the ESOP over an estimated period
           of 15 years.

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

GENERAL

Catskill Financial Corporation (the "Company" or "Catskill Financial") was
formed in December 1995 for the purpose of acquiring all of the common stock of
Catskill Savings Bank (the "Bank"), concurrent with its conversion from the
mutual to the stock form of ownership. The Company completed its initial public
stock offering of 5,686,750 shares of $.01 par value common stock on April 18,
1996. Net proceeds to the Company were $54.9 million.

The Bank has been and continues to be a community oriented financial institution
offering a variety of financial services. The Bank attracts deposits from the
general public and uses such deposits, together with other funds, to originate
one to four family residential mortgages, and to a lesser extent consumer
(including home equity lines of credit), commercial, and multi-family real
estate and other loans in its primary market area. The Bank's primary market is
comprised of Greene County and portions of Southern Albany County in New York,
which are serviced through three banking offices. The Bank's deposit accounts
are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC"), and the Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS").

The Bank's profitability, like that of many financial institutions, is dependent
to a large extent upon its net interest income, which is the difference between
the interest it receives on interest earning assets, such as loans and
investments, and the interest it pays on interest bearing liabilities.

Results of operations are also affected by the Bank's provision for loan losses,
net expenses on real estate owned and by general economic and competitive
conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and
actions of regulatory authorities.

For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded net income of
$1,139,000, an increase of $720,000, or 171.8% over the comparable quarter of
the previous year. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was
$2,253,000, an increase of $675,000, or 42.8% over the nine months ended June
30, 1995. Annualized return on average assets for the nine months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 was 1.16% and .94%, respectively. Return on annualized average 
equity for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was 7.39% and 7.70%, 
respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, 
annualized return on average assets was 1.48% and .75%, respectively, and return
on average equity was 7.14% and 6.01%, respectively.

<PAGE>

For both the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 1996, $335,000 of the
increase in net income represents the after tax recovery of a significant
portion of the reserve for probable losses previously established in connection
with the takeover of Nationar by the New York Superintendent of Banks. On
February 6, 1995, the Superintendent took possession of Nationar, a New York
chartered bank that provided correspondent banking and related services for
various banking institutions, including the Bank. At the time Nationar was
seized, the Bank had $3.3 million on deposit with Nationar. As a result of
uncertainty related to collectibility, as of September 30, 1995, the Bank
established a reserve of $660,000, or 20% of the deposit. In June 1996, the Bank
received payment of approximately $3.1 million of its claim and estimated that
only $100,000 of the reserve was still necessary.

On April 18, 1996, Catskill Financial completed its initial public offering of
5,686,750 shares of common stock. Net proceeds to the Company were $54.9
million. Based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and
excluding the Company's ESOP shares, earnings per share for the post offering
period were $.22, after an estimated allocation of income between the pre- and
post-offering periods. Since no shares were outstanding prior to the offering,
earnings per share for the comparable quarter of last year and the respective
nine month periods, are not shown.


COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 
JUNE 30, 1995

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was $6.1 million, an
increase of $383,000, or 6.7% higher than the comparable period in 1995. The
increase was principally due to a $32.3 million, or 14.8% increase in average
earning assets partially offset by a lower net interest margin. The yield on
average earning assets was 6.93% for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, a
decrease of 17 basis points from the nine months ended June 30, 1995. The
decrease is principally the result of the investment of the net proceeds from
the public offering into federal funds sold. Average federal funds sold during
the nine months ended June 30, 1996 were $65.6 million, an increase of $48.2
million over the same period last year. The increase in federal funds sold
resulted from a combination of three factors: (a) the maturities in the
investment portfolios, the average balance of which decreased by $14.8 million,
(b) the investment of the net proceeds received from the Company's public
offering and (c) stock subscriptions invested on a short term basis until the
public offering was consummated.

Total interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was $6.9 million,
or $1.0 million higher than the same period last year, as a result of both 
increases in volume and rates. The increase due to volume was principally the 
interest expense on stock subscriptions until the public offering, as the 
Company was obligated to pay 3.5% per annum on such funds until the conversion 
was consummated. In addition, during the period, the Company has experienced,
similar to most financial institutions, a customer preference for higher costing
certificates of deposit rather than savings accounts.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is a result of management's periodic analysis of
the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was $120,000 for
the nine months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of $90,000 from the comparable
period of 1995. The decrease is based on management's assessment of the adequacy
of the allowance which provides 153.7% coverage of non-performing loans.
However, any analysis of the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily
speculative based upon future events outside the control of the Company.
Therefore, there can be no assurance that additional material provisions will
not be required in the future.


Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was $925,000, an
increase of $753,000 over the same period in 1995. The increase is principally
the recovery of $560,000 from the Nationar loss contingency. In addition,
service charges on deposit products increased $73,000, or 81%, as the Company
increased fees on existing products. Net securities gains (losses) increased
$81,000, as the nine months ended June 30, 1996 had net gains of $34,000,
compared to last year's $47,000 in securities losses related to the Bank's
write-off of both its stock and debenture investments in Nationar.


Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was $3.2 million,
an increase of $104,000, or 3.4% over 1995. Increases in personnel costs,
professional fees and other real estate expenses were partially offset by lower
advertising and FDIC insurance expenses. Salaries and employee benefits
increased $217,000, or 15.1%. During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the
Company implemented its ESOP, which increased salary and employee benefits
expense by $78,000. In addition, on October 1, 1995, the Company implemented
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 106 (SFAS No. 106), which
increased such expenses by approximately $150,000. Professional fees increased
$88,000, principally from the higher legal and accounting costs relating to
operating a public company. Other real estate costs were higher, as the Company,
as part of its periodic valuations of real estate owned, recorded write-downs on
certain properties and increased its estimated cost of disposition. Advertising
expense was lower principally because the nine month period ended June 30, 1995
included a special mortgage loan promotion. FDIC insurance premiums are lower in
1996, since the Bank is "BIF" insured and is now paying only $2,000 per year,
compared to last year's $.23 per $100 of assessed deposits.


Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was $1.5 million, an
increase of $447,000, or 42.6% higher than the same period of 1995,
corresponding to the 42.7% increase in income before taxes. The Company's
effective tax rate for the nine month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1995 was 39.90% and 39.93%, respectively.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND JUNE 30, 1995

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $2.5 million,
an increase of $662,000, or 35.7% over the comparable period of 1995. The
increase was principally caused by a $79.4 million or $35.5% increase in average
earning assets, partially offset by a two basis point reduction in net interest 
margin.

The yield on average earning assets was 6.74% for the three months ended June
30, 1996, a decrease of 48 basis points from the three month period ended June
30, 1995. The decrease is primarily related to the investment of the proceeds of
the Company's public offering in lower yielding short term investments. Average
federal funds sold during the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $108.2
million, an increase of $88.9 million over the comparable period of 1995. The
increase was principally caused by the receipt of the net proceeds from the
public offering, the temporary investment of stock subscriptions until the
public offering was consummated and a decrease in the average investment 
portfolios.

Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $2.5
million, an increase of $396,000, or 19.2% over the same period last year. The
increase was principally volume related, as average interest bearing liabilities
increased $40.0 million, or 20.9%, over the same period of 1995. The increase in
volume was principally the holding of stock subscriptions until the public
offering was consummated. The Company paid 3.5% per annum to all subscribers
during the holding period. In addition, the Company has experienced, similar to
many financial institutions, a customer preference for higher costing
certificates of deposits rather than savings accounts. Overall, the Company
experienced a net reduction of its cost of funds to 4.26% or 5 basis points
below the cost of funds during the same period last year. The reduction was
directly related to the temporary low cost stock subscriptions, and without
those funds, the cost of funds would have increased.

For more information on average balances, interest rates and yields, please
refer to Table #2 included in this report.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses is a result of management's periodic analysis of
the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was $45,000 for
both the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $670,000, an
increase of $650,000 over the same quarter of last year. The increase is
principally the recovery of $560,000 from the Nationar loss reserve. In
addition, service fees on deposit accounts increased due to implementation of
new fees on existing products. Finally, last year's non-interest income was
adversely impacted by $47,000 in securities losses, related to the Company's
write-off of its stock and debenture investments in Nationar.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $1,206,000, an
increase of $72,000, or 6.3% over the same period of 1995. Increases in
personnel costs, professional fees and other real estate expenses were partially
offset by lower advertising and FDIC insurance premiums. Salaries and employee
benefits increased primarily from ESOP compensation expense. Professional fees
were higher principally from increased accounting and legal fees relating to
operating a public company. Other real estate costs were higher, as the Company
increased its estimated costs to dispose of properties and recorded write-downs
on certain other real estate properties. Advertising expense was lower
principally because 1995 included a special mortgage loan promotion. FDIC
insurance premiums are lower, since the Bank is "BIF" insured and is now paying
only $2,000 per year, compared to last year's $.23 per $100 of assessed
deposits.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $795,000, an
increase of $520,000, or 189.1% higher than 1995. The increase corresponds to
the higher pre-tax income. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 was 41.1%, compared to 39.6% for 1995. The increase in the
effective tax rate occurred because the Company's non-taxable income is a 
smaller percentage of pre-tax income in 1996 compared to 1995.



FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $283.3 million at June 30, 1996, an increase of $53.2 million,
or 23.1% over the $230.1 million at September 30, 1995. The increase is
principally a result of the receipt of net proceeds from the Company's public
offering, which were initially invested in federal funds sold, and near the end 
of the quarter ended June 30, 1996 principally in short term securities 
available for sale.

Cash and cash equivalents, including federal funds sold, were $66.9 million at
June 30, 1996, an increase of $28.8 million over the $38.1 million at September
30, 1995. The increase primarily represented the portion of the public offering
proceeds which have not been invested in securities and the receipt in June of
$3.1 million of the Nationar claim.

The following summarizes the Company's investment portfolio as of June 30, 1996,
and September 30, 1995:

                                                   June 30         September 30

Total securities of $92.6 million increased $25.5 million, or 38% over the $67.1
million at September 30, 1995. The increase represents the investment, as of
June 30, 1996, of a portion of the public offering net proceeds into short term
securities classified as available for sale.


                                      -13-

In addition, in December 1995, the Company reclassified certain investment and
mortgage backed securities from the "held to maturity" to available for sale, in
response to the one-time opportunity to reassess classification under Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") #115. Investment securities with an
aggregate amortized cost of $11.6 million and an aggregate fair value of $11.7
million were reclassified to "available for sale" and mortgage-backed securities
with an aggregate cost of $13.2 million and an aggregate fair value of $13.6
were transferred to available for sale.

Loans receivable were $120.5 million at June 30, 1996, an increase of $.2
million over the $120.3 million at September 30, 1995. The following table shows
the loan portfolio composition as of the respective balance sheets dates:

The decrease in consumer loans was principally a decrease in home equity loans,
as lower mortgage rates have caused some customers to refinance their underlying
first mortgages and repay their home equity loans.

Non performing loans at June 30, 1996 were $1.2 million, an increase of $163,000
from September 30, 1995, but a decrease of $272,000 from March 31, 1996. Non
performing loans as a percentage of total loans were .99% at June 30, 1996
compared to .86% at September 30, 1995. At June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan
losses was $1.8 million, or 1.53% of period end loans and 153.7% of non
performing loans. The following summarizes the activity in the allowance for
loan losses:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of funds for operations are deposits from its
primary market area, and principal and interest payments on its loan and
securities portfolios. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and
securities are, in general, a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition.

The primary financing activity of the Bank is the attraction of deposits and at
June 30, 1996, the Bank experienced a net increase in deposits of $1.4 million
from September 30, 1995. In addition, on April 18, 1996, the Company completed
its initial public offering of common stock. Net proceeds to the Company were
$54.9 million, of which $4.5 million was loaned to the Company's ESOP trustee to
purchase 8% of the shares issued and $27.3 million was used to purchase the
stock of the Bank upon its initial issuance.

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by
OTS regulations. This requirement, which may be varied by the OTS depending on
economic conditions and deposit flows, is expressed as a percentage of deposits 
and short term borrowings. The required minimum liquidity ratio is currently 5%.
The Bank's average liquidity ratio for the month of June was 83.8%.

The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its
current commitments. At June 30, 1996, the Bank had commitments to originate
loans of $2.8 million, as well as undrawn lines of credit of $1.8 million on
home equity and other lines of credit. Certificates of deposit which are
scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 1996, totaled $40.3 million.
Management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with
the Bank.

At June 30, 1996, the Bank's capital exceeded each of the capital requirements
of the OTS, and is classified as well capitalized.

Item 1.           Legal Proceedings

                  In the ordinary course of business, the Company and the Bank
                  are subject to legal actions which involve claims for monetary
                  relief. Management, based on advice of counsel, does not
                  believe that any currently known legal actions, individually
                  or in the aggregate will have a material effect on its
                  consolidated financial condition.
