              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BUSINESS

Tompkins  County  Trustco,  Inc. (the  "Company")  is a registered  bank holding
company,  organized  under the laws of New York State.  On April 26,  1995,  the
shareholders  of Tompkins  County  Trust  Company  (the  "Trust  Company" or the
"Bank")  approved a proposal to revise its corporate  structure by  establishing
the Company as a one bank holding company. On January 1, 1996, the Trust Company
became a wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company and all issued and  outstanding
shares of Trust Company  common stock were  converted to shares of the Company's
common  stock.  The holding  company  formation  was  accounted for similar to a
pooling of interests.  Accordingly,  the financial  information  included herein
combines  the  results  of  operations,   and  the  assets,   liabilities,   and
shareholders  equity  of the  Company  and the  Trust  Company  for all  periods
presented.  The Trust Company traces its charter back to 1836 and provides loan,
deposit,  and  trust and  investment  services  to its  customers  primarily  in
Tompkins County, New York, and surrounding areas.

2.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  financial  statements  have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting   principles.   In  preparing  the  financial   statements,
management  is  required  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  effect the
reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities as of the date of the statements of
condition and  statements of income and expenses for the period.  Actual amounts
could differ from estimates.  The accompanying  interim  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements and related notes should be read in  conjunction  with the
Company's Form 10-K and related notes for the year ended December 31, 1997.

The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein reflect all
adjustments  of  a  normal  recurring  nature  which  are,  in  the  opinion  of
management,  necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of  the  Company's  financial
position at  September  30, 1998,  and  December  31,  1997,  and the results of
operations  for the three and nine  months  ended  September  30, 1998 and 1997.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts for consistency
in reporting.

3.       STOCK SPLIT

On February 10, 1998, the Company announced that its board of directors approved
a 3-for-2 stock split in the form of a dividend (the "Stock Split"),  payable on
March 15, 1998, to  shareholders of record on March 1, 1998. The Split increased
the number of shares  outstanding by 1,630,635  shares.  The  transaction had no
effect  on the par  value of  shares  outstanding  or on the  number  of  shares
authorized.  All  share  and  per  share  data  in  the  consolidated  financial
statements  and notes  thereto have been  retroactively  adjusted to reflect the
Stock Split.

4.       STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In November 1996, the board of directors  approved a stock  repurchase  program,
which  authorizes  the  repurchase  of up to $3 million  in common  stock of the
Company in open market  transactions.  As of September  30, 1998, no open market
transactions  have been  completed  under this  program.  On May 14,  1997,  the
Company repurchased 120,000 shares of its common stock in a privately negotiated
transaction.  The shares,  which have been  returned to the status of authorized
and unissued,  were purchased at $22.25 per share, for a total purchase price of
$2.67 million.

5.       SECURITIES

As of September  30, 1998,  net  unrealized  gains on  securities  classified as
available-for-sale  totaled $3.7 million,  resulting in an after tax increase to
shareholders'   equity   of   $2.1   million.   As   of   December   31,   1997,
available-for-sale   securities  had  net  unrealized  gains  of  $1.9  million,
resulting in an after tax shareholders' equity capital increase of $1.1 million.

6.       LOANS/LEASES

The Company's recorded  investment in loans/leases  considered impaired was $1.1
million on September 30, 1998, and the average  recorded  investment in impaired
loans/leases was $1.1 million through the first nine months of 1998. Included in
this amount was $245,000 of impaired  loans/leases  for which  related  reserves
totaled  $134,000.  The  recorded  investment  in  impaired  loans/leases  as of
December  31, 1997,  was $1.4  million.  The  December 31, 1997 amount  includes
$806,000 of impaired  loans/leases  which had related reserves of $329,000.  The
effect on interest income from impaired loans/leases was not material during the
first nine months of 1998.

7.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

On December  31,  1997,  the Company  adopted the  provisions  of  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.  128,  EARNINGS  PER  SHARE,  which
requires dual  presentation  of "Basic EPS" and "Diluted EPS" on the face of the
income  statement for all entities with complex  capital  structures.  All prior
period  EPS  data  has  been  restated  to  conform  to the  provisions  of this
statement. A computation of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS for the nine month periods
ending September 30, 1998 and 1997, is presented in the table below.

8.       ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the remaining  provisions of SFAS
No.  125,  ACCOUNTING  FOR  TRANSFERS  AND  SERVICING  OF  FINANCIAL  ASSETS AND
EXTINGUISHMENTS  OF  LIABILITIES,  which  relate to  accounting  for  securities
lending,  repurchase agreements,  and other secured financing activities.  These
provisions did not have a material impact on the Company.

On January 1, 1998 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, REPORTING
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. This Statement establishes standards for the reporting and
display  of  comprehensive  income and its  components  in a full set of general
purpose  financial  statements.  Comprehensive  income includes the reported net
income of a company,  adjusted  for items that are  currently  accounted  for as
direct entries to equity. These items may include mark-to-market  adjustments on
securities  available-for-sale,  foreign  currency  items,  and minimum  pension
liability adjustments.

For  the  Company,   comprehensive  income  represents  net  income  plus  other
comprehensive income.  Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the net
unrealized  gains or losses on securities  available-for-sale  as of the balance
sheet dates.  Comprehensive  income for the three and nine month  periods  ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 is summarized in the table below:

<PAGE>


In June 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 131,
DISCLOSURES  ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED  INFORMATION.  SFAS No.
131 requires  publicly held companies to report financial and other  information
about key revenue-producing segments of the entity for which such information is
available  and is  utilized  by the chief  operation  decision  maker.  Specific
information  to be reported for  individual  segments  includes  profit or loss,
certain revenue and expense items, and total assets. A reconciliation of segment
financial  information to amounts reported in the financial  statements would be
provided.  The new accounting  standard is not expected to result in significant
changes to the company's reporting.

In February 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 132,
EMPLOYER'S  DISCLOSURES ABOUT PENSIONS AND OTHER POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS.  This
Statement revises employers' disclosures about pension and other post retirement
benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of these plans.
This  Statement is effective  for the Company in 1998 and will have no impact on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 133,
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE  INSTRUMENTS  AND HEDGING  ACTIVITIES.  This statement
establishes  comprehensive  accounting and reporting requirements for derivative
instruments  and  hedging  activities.   The  statement  requires  companies  to
recognize all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities,  with  instruments
measured at fair value. The recognition of accounting gains and losses resulting
from  changes in fair value of a derivative  instrument  depends on the intended
use of the  derivative  and the type of risk being  hedged.  This  statement  is
effective  for the Company for all fiscal  quarters  beginning  after January 1,
2000; however, early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating
the effect this standard will have on its financial statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Tompkins  County  Trustco,  Inc. is the parent company of Tompkins  County Trust
Company.  The Trust  Company is an  independent  community  bank  whose  primary
service  area is  Tompkins  County,  New York.  Through  the Bank,  the  Company
provides a full  range of  financial  services  including:  deposits,  trust and
investment services,  commercial lending, consumer lending, residential mortgage
lending,  cash management,  and electronic  banking. In February 1998, the Trust
Company formed a subsidiary  corporation,  Tompkins Real Estate Holdings,  Inc.,
which was formed to qualify as a real estate  investment  trust.  Tompkins  Real
Estate Holdings,  Inc. became an active  subsidiary of the Trust Company on June
1, 1998.

The  following  discussion  is  intended  to provide  the reader  with a further
understanding of the consolidated  financial condition and results of operations
of Tompkins County Trustco,  Inc. and its operating  subsidiaries.  It should be
read in conjunction  with the Company's Form 10-K and related notes for the year
ended December 31, 1997, and the condensed consolidated financial statements and
notes included elsewhere in this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income  for the third  quarter of 1998 was $3.0  million,  compared  to $2.6
million for the third  quarter of 1997.  Basic  earnings  per share in the third
quarter  of 1998  increased  by 14.5% to $0.62,  compared  to $0.54 in the third
quarter of 1997. On a diluted basis,  earnings per share  increased to $0.60 per
share in the third  quarter of 1998,  compared  to $0.53 for the same  period in
1997.  Year to date net income  through  the first nine  months of 1998 was $8.4
million,  compared to $7.5  million  for the same  period in 1997.  Year to date
basic earnings per share of $1.73 represents a 13% increase over the same period
in 1997.  Year to date  diluted  earnings  per  share of $1.70  reflects  an 12%
increase over the prior year.

The significant  improvement in per share earnings through the first nine months
of 1998 was achieved  primarily through 12% growth in net income,  and benefited
from a 1% decline in the basic  average  shares  outstanding.  The  reduction in
average shares outstanding is the result of a privately  negotiated  transaction
in which the Company repurchased 120,000 common shares in May of 1997.

The Company's  return on average  assets (ROAA) was 1.74% through the first nine
months of 1998, compared to 1.64% for the same period in 1997. Return on average
shareholders'  equity  (ROAE)  for the first  nine  months  of 1998 was  18.94%,
compared to 18.97% for the same period in 1997. Improvement in ROAA reflects the
strong  earnings growth through the first half of 1998,  which exceeded  average
total asset growth of 6%. The modest decline in ROAE is the result of 12% growth
in average equity between September 1998 and September 1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME
As reflected in the attached Average Consolidated Balance Sheet and Net Interest
Analysis, the Company earned tax-equivalent net interest income of $22.0 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,  compared to $20.9 million for the
same period in 1997. The  improvement in net interest  income is attributable to
growth in the Company's earnings assets, which helped offset a modest decline in
net interest margin. The Company has also enhanced its cash management practices
in 1998,  which has  resulted  in a greater  percentage  of total  assets  being
comprised  of earning  assets.  Average  earning  assets  grew by $36.7  million
between  September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1998.  Growth in average  earnings
assets was centered in the securities portfolio,  residential real estate loans,
and  commercial  real estate  loans.  Growth was  supported  by a $21.9  million
increase in average core deposits  (noninterest  bearing  deposits,  savings and
money market  deposits,  and time  deposits of less than  $100,000),  and a $6.9
million  increase in average  non-core  funding  (Time  deposits of $100,000 and
more,   Federal  funds  purchased  and  securities  sold  under   agreements  to
repurchase,   and  other  borrowings),   and  $6.4  million  growth  in  average
shareholders' equity.

The  tax-equivalent  net interest margin on earning assets was 4.78% through the
first nine  months of 1998,  compared  to a 4.83%  ratio  through the first nine
months of 1997.  Yield on earning assets declined from 8.29% as of September 30,
1997,  to 8.16% as of  September  30,  1998.  The  decline  in asset  yields  is
reflective of the general  downward  trending of interest rates over the periods
presented.

The cost of interest  bearing  liabilities was 4.23% in the first nine months of
1998, compared to 4.26% in the first nine months of 1997. Despite the decline in
the cost of interest bearing liabilities,  the cost of interest bearing deposits
increased,  reflecting the competitive environment for deposits in the Company's
market area.  The  increased  cost of interest  bearing  deposits was  partially
offset by an $8.6  million  increase in average  noninterest  bearing  deposits.
Noninterest bearing liabilities contributed 86 basis points to the Company's net
interest  margin in the first nine months of 1998,  compared to 80 basis  points
for the same period in 1997.

PROVISION FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES
The  provision  represents  management's  estimate of the expense  necessary  to
maintain the reserve for loan/lease  losses at an adequate level.  The provision
of $779,000  for the first nine months of 1998  represents a 6% decline from the
$830,000  provision in the first nine months of 1997. The decline in the year to
date  provision  is  reflective  of a lower  level of  loan/lease  losses in the
current period,  and management's  estimates of the reserves necessary given the
overall  quality of the portfolio,  growth  expectations,  and general  economic
conditions.  For the third quarter of 1998, the provision was $298,000  compared
to $263,000 for the same period in 1997.

OTHER INCOME
Other  income  continues  to be a key source of revenue  growth for the Company.
Total other income for the first nine months of 1998 totaled  $7.6  million,  an
increase of 17% from the prior year.  Other income for the third quarter of 1998
was $2.6  million,  an  increase  of 15% from the third  quarter of 1997.  Other
income as a  percentage  of  average  assets  increased  from 1.42% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to 1.57% for the same period in 1998.

Income from trust and investment services,  the largest segment of other income,
increased 28% to $3.0 million, compared to $2.3 million the first nine months of
1997. The increase is primarily  attributable  to continued  asset growth in the
Trust and Investment  Services Division.  Total assets managed by, or in custody
of, the Trust and  Investment  Services  Division were $896 million on September
30, 1998,  representing a $120 million increase from September 30, 1997.  Assets
in the custody of the Trust and Investment  Services Division included a portion
of the Trust Company's securities portfolio, with a market value of $146 million
on September 30, 1998, and $129 million on September 30, 1997.

In 1997,  the Trust and  Investment  Services  Division  formed an alliance with
another community bank.  Through this alliance,  the Company provides  servicing
and administrative support to the trust department of the other bank. Due to the
success of this alliance, which has resulted in nearly $10 million in new assets
under management,  the Company anticipates  expanding this service to additional
banks.  A second  alliance was formed in the third quarter of 1998,  with Hudson
Valley Bank in Westchester County, New York.

Credit card merchant fee income of $1.8 million through the first nine months of
1998  represents a 5% increase from the same period in 1997.  Growth in merchant
fee  income is  primarily  attributable  to an  increase  in the number of Trust
Company  merchant  customers.  Other service  charges  increased  33%, from $1.0
million for the first nine months of 1997,  to $1.4  million for the same period
in 1998.  Growth in other  service  charges  reflects  the  Company's  continued
efforts to generate income from noninterest  related sources,  and includes fees
related to debit card usage, ATM fees, sales of non-deposit investment products,
wire transfer services,  and lockbox services,  all of which reflected increases
over the same period in the previous year.  Service charges on deposit  accounts
of  $1.2  million  represents  a 7%  decline  from  the  previous  year,  and is
reflective  of an increased  number of customers  taking  advantage of lower fee
deposit products.

Total  other  income  was  reduced  by losses on the sale of  available-for-sale
securities  of $72,000 in 1998,  and $85,000 in 1997.  Other income in 1998 also
included a $95,000 gain on the sale of approximately $6 million in student loans
in the second quarter of 1998.


OTHER EXPENSE
Total  other  expenses  increased  7% in the first nine  months of 1998 to $15.1
million, compared to $14.1 million in 1997. Salary and wages remains the largest
segment of other expense,  comprising 42% of other expenses for the period ended
September 30, 1998, which is comparable to the same period in 1997. Total salary
and wage expense of $6.3 million in the first nine months of 1998,  represents a
6% increase from the prior year.

                                       12

Credit card operating expense is a variable expense that increases as the volume
of merchant and card holder  transactions  increases.  The 5% increase in credit
card operating expenses during the first nine months of 1998 is primarily due to
an increased volume of merchant customer transactions.

Year to date other  operating  expenses  increased from $3.4 million in 1997, to
$4.0  million in 1998.  Included in other  operating  expenses is  approximately
$160,000  relating to  consulting  contracts  initiated in the first  quarter of
1998.  These  consulting  contracts  were entered into to enhance the ability of
employees  to meet the needs of  customers  through  improved  sales and service
techniques and more efficient use of the Company's existing technology.

INCOME TAXES
The Company's  effective  tax rate for the third quarter  declined from 34.8% in
1997, to 32.3% in 1998.  The decline in the effective tax rate reflects  certain
state tax benefits that have accrued to the Company as a result of the formation
of Tompkins Real Estate Holdings,  Inc. Tompkins Real Estate Holdings, Inc. is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Tompkins County Trust Company, which became active on
June 1, 1998.  The  corporation  has been  formed to  qualify  as a Real  Estate
Investment Trust, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The  Company's  total  assets  were $653.3  million as of  September  30,  1998,
representing  a 4% increase over total assets  reported as of December 31, 1997.
Growth was primarily in the loan and lease  portfolio,  which increased by $16.0
million in the first nine months of 1998, while the securities portfolio grew by
approximately    $9.9   million   (including   market   value   adjustments   on
available-for-sale  securities).  Other assets grew by $6.2 million in the first
nine  month of 1998,  primarily  as a result of the  purchase  of $5  million in
corporate owned life insurance,  covering  various  officers of the corporation.
The  purchase of this  insurance  provides  benefits to both the Company and the
covered employees. Future increases in the cash surrender value of the insurance
will be reflected in other operating  income.  Asset growth was funded through a
combination of growth in other borrowings and equity capital.

CAPITAL
Total  shareholders'  equity grew by 11% during the first nine months of 1998 to
$63.4  million.   Cash  dividends  paid  in  the  first  half  of  1998  totaled
approximately  $3.2 million,  representing  38.4% of year to date earnings.  Per
share cash  dividends of $0.67 for the first nine months of 1998,  represents an
9.8% increase over cash dividends paid in 1997.

The Company and the Trust  Company  are  subject to various  regulatory  capital
requirements  administered by Federal banking agencies.  Management believes the
Company and the Trust Company meet all capital  adequacy  requirements  to which
they are subject.  The table below  reflects the Company's  capital  position at
September 30, 1998,  compared to the regulatory  capital  requirements for "well
capitalized" institutions.

=============================================================================================================================
</TABLE>

As illustrated  above, the Company's capital ratios on September 30, 1998 remain
well above the minimum requirement for well capitalized institutions. The ratios
show continued  improvement from the levels reported at December 31, 1997. As of
December 31, 1997, the Company's  Total Capital as a percentage of Risk Weighted
assets was 16.4%;  Tier I Capital to risk weighted assets was 15.1%;  and Tier I
Capital to average assets was 8.9%.

RESERVE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES AND NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Management  reviews the  adequacy of the reserve for loan and lease  losses in a
detailed and ongoing basis,  giving  consideration to various risk elements that
may affect losses in the loan portfolio.  Based upon  management's  review,  the
current  reserve of $5.0  million is believed to be adequate to absorb  inherent
losses in the loan and lease  portfolios.  Activity in the Company's reserve for
loan  and  lease  losses  during  the  first  nine  months  of 1998  and 1997 is
illustrated in the table below.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER LIABILITIES
Total  deposits were $473.0  million on September  30, 1998,  compared to $476.7
million in total  deposits on December 31, 1997.  Core  deposits,  which include
demand deposits,  savings and money market  accounts,  and time deposits of less
than  $100,000  represent  the primary  funding  source for the  Company.  As of
September 30, 1998, core deposits of $387.1 million  represented  65.6% of total
liabilities.  This  compares to core  deposits of $379.7  million,  representing
66.6% of total liabilities on December 31, 1997.

The  Company  uses  large  time  deposits,   securities  sold  under  repurchase
agreements,  Federal funds purchased, and other borrowings as additional funding
sources.  Time  Deposits of $100,000 and over  decreased  from $97.0  million on
December 31, 1997,  to $85.8  million on September 30, 1998. As of September 30,
1998,  total  securities  sold under  repurchase  agreements  amounted  to $60.8
million,  compared to $58.0  million at December  31,  1997.  Other  borrowings,
consisting of term  borrowings  from the Federal Home Loan Bank,  increased from
$27.0 million on December 31, 1997, to $47.0 on September 30, 1998.

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity  represents  the Company's  ability to  efficiently  and  economically
accommodate  decreases in deposits and other liabilities,  and fund increases in
assets.  The Company  uses a variety of resources  to meet its  liquidity  needs
which include cash and cash equivalents,  short term investments, cash flow from
lending  and  investing  activities,   deposit  growth,  securities  sold  under
repurchase agreements, and borrowings.

                                       14
<PAGE>


Cash and cash  equivalents  of $19.6 million as of September 30, 1998 reflects a
decline of $5.5 million from December 31, 1997. A portion of this decline is the
result of improved cash management practices,  which were implemented in January
1998 to  reduce  the  level  of  noninterest  bearing  balances  required  to be
maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank.

Short term investments consisting of securities due in one year or less declined
from $28.3 million on December 31, 1997, to $24.7 million on September 30, 1998.
Securities  pledged to secure certain large  deposits and securities  sold under
repurchase  agreements were 83.2% of total  securities as of September 30, 1998,
compared to 76% as of December 31, 1997.

Additional  liquidity is provided through the Trust Company's  Federal Home Loan
Bank  (FHLB)  membership.  As of  September  30,  1998,  the Trust  Company  had
approximately  $57.2 million in unused borrowing  capacity  through  established
lines of credit with the FHLB. The Trust Company's equity investment in Tompkins
Real  Estate  Holdings,  Inc. of $204  million can be used to secure  additional
borrowings from the FHLB.

YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS
The Company uses purchased software products for all of its internal transaction
processing  applications;  therefore,  no  significant  internal  programming is
necessary to prepare these systems to handle  transactions in the Year 2000. The
majority of the Company's efforts in preparation for Year 2000 processing relate
to testing  purchased and  outsourced  processing  systems,  as well as updating
databases.

Management has initiated an enterprise-wide program,  consistent with guidelines
issued by the Federal Financial  Institutions  Examination  Council (FFIEC),  to
prepare the Company's  computer  systems and software  applications for the Year
2000. The program includes the following phases:

     o        Identification (Completed)
     o        Assessment (Completed)
     o        Remediation (In process)
     o        Testing (In process)
     o        Contingency Planning (In process)

The  identification  phase  involved  identifying  the  types of risk  exposures
related to Year 2000. Through this process the Company identified  specific risk
exposures  related to internal  information  technologies,  information  service
providers, other service providers, and customers.

As part of the assessment  phase,  the Company has  categorized  its information
technology  systems as Mission Critical,  Mission Important,  or Important.  The
Company has assessed  the Year 2000  readiness  of each  information  technology
system and has established a plan for remediating any known Year 2000 problems.



                                       15
<PAGE>


The Company's primary application,  which handles processing of loans, deposits,
safe deposit,  and general ledger, has been designated as Year 2000 compliant by
the vendor. The vendor has also provided the Company with test results performed
by an independent  contractor  that has also  designated the system as Year 2000
compliant.  Of the  remaining  systems  that have been  categorized  as  Mission
Critical or Mission  Important,  approximately  40% have been designated as Year
2000  compliant.  Based upon the most  recent  communications  with  vendors and
service  providers,  management expects that remediation of all Mission Critical
and Mission Important systems will be completed by December 31, 1998.

As  previously   indicated,   the  Company's   primary   application   has  been
independently tested. Due to the importance of this application to the Company's
operations,  management plans to conduct its own tests this system in the fourth
quarter of 1998. Testing is also in process on several other systems,  and it is
expected that testing of all Mission Critical and Mission Important systems will
be completed by the first quarter of 1999.

The Company is formulating a contingency  plan for business  continuation in the
event of Year 2000 system failures. This contingency plan will be based upon the
Company's  existing  disaster  recovery plan, with  modifications  for Year 2000
risks.  The Company  expects the Year 2000  contingency  plan to be completed by
March 1999.

As part of the process of  evaluating  and  attempting  to mitigate  third party
risk, the Company is collecting and analyzing Year 2000  information  from third
parties who have  significant  business  relationships  with the Company.  These
third parties include borrowers,  obligors, and vendors. It is difficult predict
the effect of third party non-readiness on the business of the Company.

Significant  Year 2000 failures in the Company's  systems,  or in the systems of
third parties would have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  financial
condition and results of  operations.  The Company  believes that its reasonably
likely worst case scenario  might  include a material  increase in credit losses
due to Year 2000  problems of borrowers  and a disruption  in financial  markets
causing  liquidity  stress to the Company.  The  magnitude  of potential  credit
losses or a disruption in financial  markets  cannot be determined at this time;
however, the Year 2000 program described above is designed to reduce exposure to
these risks.

The total cost of the Company's Year 2000 project is expected to be $200,000, of
which  approximately  $125,000 has been incurred as of September 30, 1998.  This
amount  includes the costs of  additional  hardware,  software,  and  technology
consultants,  as  well  as the  cost  of the  Company's  information  technology
professionals dedicated to achieving Year 2000 compliance. A significant portion
of these costs are not incremental,  but rather involve redeployment of existing
personnel related information technology resources. The Company has included the
cost of the Year 2000 project in its operating  budget and  management  does not
expect  that  this  will  have a  material  effect  on the  Company's  financial
condition or results of operations.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This  report may  include  forward-looking  statements  with  respect to revenue
sources,  growth, market risk, corporate objectives,  and Year 2000. The Company
assumes no duty to update  forward-looking  statements,  and cautions that these
statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risk, and uncertainties,  all of
which could  change over time.  Actual  results  could  differ  materially  from
forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate  sensitivity is the primary market risk category  associated  with
the  Company's  operations.  Interest  rate  risk  refers to the  volatility  of
earnings  caused by changes in interest  rates.  Each month the  Asset/Liability
Management  Committee  estimates  the likely impact on earnings  resulting  from
various  changing  interest  rate  scenarios.  The findings of the committee are
incorporated into the investment and funding decision of the Company.

The Company's September 30, 1998, one-year cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a
negative  10% of total  assets.  This  suggests  earnings  would  benefit from a
declining  interest  rate  environment,  and  would  be  vulnerable  to a rising
interest rate environment.  Management  estimates that a 200 basis point rise in
interest  rates  over a one year  period  would  result in a 3%  decline  in net
interest income,  assuming no management actions to reposition the balance sheet
in reaction to a changing  rate  environment.  Management  believes  the current
interest rate risk exposure is not material given the Company's current level of
earnings and capital.
