Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary  to fairly  present the  consolidated
financial  position  of the  Company  at June 30,  2000 and the  results  of its
consolidated  operations  and cash  flows for the  period  then  ended have been
included.  Operating results for the three-month period and six month period are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended December 31, 2000.

Note B - Earnings Per Share

Basic  earnings  per share is  computed  based on the  weighted  average  shares
outstanding.  Diluted  earnings  per  share is  computed  based on the  weighted
average  shares  outstanding  adjusted  for the  dilutive  effect of the assumed
exercise  of stock  options  and awards  during  the year.  The  following  is a
reconciliation of basic to diluted earnings per share for the three months ended
and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999:

Note C - Formation of Real Estate Investment Trust Subsidiary

On April 26, 1999,  the Bank funded Oneida  Preferred  Funding  Corp.,  a wholly
owned subsidiary corporation that will elect under Federal tax law to be treated
as a Real Estate  Investment  Trust (REIT).  The REIT was initially  funded with
$43.1 million of 1-4 family  residential  real estate loans and commercial  real
estate loans. The REIT is expected to allow the Bank to more competitively price
real estate  loans and provide  other  benefits in future  periods.  At June 30,
2000, the principal balance outstanding of real estate loans in the REIT totaled
$41.7 million.

Note D - Letter of Intent

On April 25,  2000,  the  Company  announced  that a Letter  of intent  has been
executed  to  acquire  Bailey  and  Haskell  Associates,  Inc.,  an  independent
insurance  agency  located n Central  New York  State.  The  agency  provides  a
diversified  portfolio of insurance  products  and services to  individuals  and
businesses  in Madison,  Oneida,  and  Onondaga  counties.  The  acquisition  is
expected to be completed before the end of the year, subject to the execution of
a definitive purchase agreement and necessary regulatory approval.

Note E - Stock Compensation Plans


On April 25, 2000,  shareholder  approval was obtained for the acceptance of the
Oneida  Financial  Corp.  2000  Recognition  and  Retention  Plan and the Oneida
Financial Corp.  2000 Stock Option Plan. The Plans authorize  83,238 and 166,475
shares  respectively of the Company's common stock to be used for the purpose of
granting  awards  under  the  terms of the  plans.  Under  the  Recognition  and
Retention Plan, the company issued 83,238 shares of stock in April 2000 of which
74,000  shares  have been  awarded.  The Company  recorded  $884,404 in unearned
compensation  expense to be recognized over the five year vesting period.  As of
June 30,  2000,  $26,000 has been  expensed to date.  The Stock  Option plan has
awarded  150,500  shares of the  authorized  shares  available in the Plan.  All
options  granted  have a ten year term with the  options  vesting  on a pro-rata
basis over a five year period.  The exercise price of each option is $10.625 per
share, which was the closing market price of Oneida Financial Corp. common stock
on April 25, 2000 the date of the grant.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


               This section presents Management's discussion and analysis of and
changes  to the  Company's  consolidated  financial  results of  operations  and
condition  and  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  financial
statements and notes thereto included herein.

               When used in this  quarterly  report the words or  phrases  "will
likely   result,"  "are  expected  to,"  "will   continue,"  "is   anticipated,"
"estimate,"   "project"  or  similar   expressions   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,  including, among other things, changes in economic conditions in
the  Company's  market  area,  changes  in  policies  by  regulatory   agencies,
fluctuations  in interest rates,  demand for loans in the Company's  market area
and  competition,  that could cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from
historical  earnings and those presently  anticipated or projected.  The Company
wishes  to  caution   readers   not  to  place   undue   reliance  on  any  such
forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of the date made.  The Company
wishes  to advise  readers  that the  factors  listed  above  could  affect  the
Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for
future periods to differ  materially  from any opinions or statements  expressed
with respect to future periods in any current statements.

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

GENERAL

               On December 30, 1998 the Company completed its reorganization and
initial public stock  offering  providing a total of $15.9 million in additional
paid in  capital.  A total of  3,580,200  shares of common  stock were issued of
which  1,915,445  shares were issued to Oneida  Financial MHC the mutual holding
company  parent of the  Company.  Approximately  half of the net proceeds of the
stock offering were invested into the Bank.

               The Company is the parent company of The Oneida Savings Bank (the
"Bank"). The Company conducts no business other than holding the common stock of
the Bank and general investment activities resulting from the capital raised and
retained in the initial public stock offering.  Consequently,  the net income of
the Company is primary  derived from its  investment in the Bank. The Bank's net
income  is  primarily  dependent  on  its  net  interest  income,  which  is the
difference   between  interest  income  earned  on  its  investments  in  loans,
investment  securities  and  mortgage-backed  securities  and its  cost of funds
consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The Bank's net income is
also  affected by its  provision  for loan  losses,  as well as by the amount of
other  income,  including  income from fees and service  charges,  net gains and
losses  on sales of  investments  and  loans,  and  operating  expenses  such as
employee  compensation  and benefits,  occupancy and equipment  costs and income
taxes. Earnings of the Bank are also affected  significantly by general economic
and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, which
tend to be highly  cyclical,  and government  policies and actions of regulatory
authorities, which events are beyond the control of the Bank.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

               On April 26,  1999,  the Bank  funded  Oneida  Preferred  Funding
Corp., a wholly owned  subsidiary  corporation that will elect under Federal tax
law to be  treated  as a Real  Estate  Investment  Trust  (REIT).  The  REIT was
initially funded with $43.1 million of 1-4 family  residential real estate loans
and commercial real estate loans. The REIT is expected to allow the Bank to more
competitively  price real  estate  loans and  provide  other  benefits in future
periods. At June 30, 2000 the principal balance outstanding of real estate loans
in the REIT totaled $41.7 million.

               The Bank continues  employing a wholesale  arbitrage  strategy to
compliment  traditional  retail  deposit  and  loan  activities.  The  arbitrage
transactions have involved entering into borrowing transactions with the Federal
Home Loan Bank of New York  ("FHLB")  as a funding  source for the  purchase  of
investment securities and mortgage-backed  securities. At June 30, 2000 the Bank
had total  borrowings of $64.3  million at an average cost of 6.16%.  The Bank's
net income is enhanced  through the positive  spread  between the borrowing rate
and investment returns.

               On July 1,  1999 the  Company  commenced  a 5%  stock  repurchase
program, representing 179,010 shares of common stock. The repurchase program was
completed  during  the  first  quarter  of 2000  with  11,900  remaining  shares
purchased.  The average cost of the shares  purchased in the program was $10.493
per share.

<PAGE>

               On  February 2, 2000 the  Company  commenced  its second 5% stock
repurchase program,  representing  170,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The repurchase  program is expected to be completed  within six months.  Through
June 30, 2000 a total of 103,139 shares were  repurchased at an average price of
$10.916. The Company considers the common stock to be an attractive  investment,
particularly  in view of the current  price at which the common stock is trading
relative to the  Company's  earnings per share,  book value per share and market
and economic factors generally, as well as other factors.

               On April 25, 2000 the Company  announced  that a Letter of Intent
had been executed to acquire Bailey and Haskell Associates,  Inc. an independent
insurance  agency  located  in Central  New York  State.  The agency  provides a
diversified  portfolio of insurance  products  and services to  individuals  and
businesses in Madison, Oneida and Onondaga counties. The acquisition is expected
to be  completed  before  the end of the year,  subject  to the  execution  of a
definitive purchase agreement and necessary regulatory approvals.


               On April 25,  2000,  shareholder  approval  was  obtained for the
acceptance of the Oneida Financial Corp. 2000 Recognition and Retention Plan and
the Oneida  Financial Corp.  2000 Stock Option Plan. The Plans authorize  83,238
and 166,475 shares respectively of the Company's common stock to be used for the
purpose of granting  awards under the terms of the plans.  Under the Recognition
and Retention  Plan,  the company issued 83,238 shares of stock in April 2000 of
which 74,000 shares have been awarded. The company recorded $884,404 in unearned
compensation  expense to be recognized over the five year vesting period.  As of
June 30,  2000,  $26,000 has been  expensed to date.  The Stock  Option plan has
awarded  150,500  shares of the  authorized  shares  available in the Plan.  All
options  granted  have a ten year term with the  options  vesting  on a pro-rata
basis over a five year period.  The exercise price of each option is $10.625 per
share, which was the closing market price of Oneida Financial Corp. common stock
on April 25, 2000 the date of the grant.



FINANCIAL CONDITION

               ASSETS.  Total  assets at June 30, 2000 were $299.8  million,  an
increase of $19.6 million from $280.2 million at December 31, 1999. The increase
in total assets was achieved  through a balance of retail and wholesale  banking
activities. Investment and mortgage-backed securities increased $11.2 million as
a result of the Bank's continuing leveraging  strategies.  Asset growth was also
supported  by an  increase  of $10.8  million  or 7.2% in net loans  receivable.
Management has sought to increase the Bank's  consumer and  commercial  business
loan  portfolios  with the intent of increasing  the average yield on the Bank's
interest-earning  assets.  At June  30,  2000,  total  consumer  and  commercial
business  loans  increased by $5.8 million from December 31, 1999. The Bank also
increased its residential real estate loans by $4.0 as a result of the increased
demand for adjustable rate loan products in the current rate environment.

               LIABILITIES. Total liabilities increased by $19.7 million or 8.2%
to $260.0 million at June 30, 2000 from $240.3 million at December 31, 1999. The
increase is primarily  the result of an increase of $14.1  million in borrowings
as well as an increase of $5.9 million in total deposits. Of the increase,  $5.1
million was in Money Market and Now accounts  which are lower  yielding  deposit
products. The Bank's newest branch addition in Canastota, New York, which opened
in November  1999,  has total  deposits of $3.3 million as of June 30, 2000 with
$2.4 million in deposit growth during the first half of 2000.

               STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. Total stockholders' equity at June 30, 2000
was $39.8  million,  a decrease of $185,000  from $40.0  million at December 31,
1999. The decrease in  stockholder's  equity is primarily a result of management
efforts to  effectively  manage the Company's  capital  through a combination of
stock  repurchases and dividends.  The Company has acquired  115,049  additional
shares of its common  stock,  at an average  price of $10.891  per share,  since
December 31, 1999  resulting  in an increase of $1.3  million in Treasury  stock
held. The current stock repurchase program authorizes an additional 66,861shares
for  purchase  by the  Company.  The  Company  also paid its  second  semiannual
dividend at the rate of $0.16 resulting in an equity reduction of $546,000.  The
decreases  in  stockholders'  equity were  partially  offset by the  addition of
after-tax net income and an increase in Accumulated Other  Comprehensive  Income
(Loss). Retained Earnings increased as the result of the addition of $1,224,0000
in  after-tax  net income for the six months  ended June 30,  2000.  Accumulated
Other  Comprehensive  Income  (Loss)  increased  $363,000 from December 31, 1999
primarily as a result of a favorable  adjustment in the net  unrealized  loss on
available  for sale  mortgage-backed  and  other  investment  securities  due to
changes in the market  interest rates at June 30, 2000 as compared with December
31, 1999.  Changes in interest  rates  generally  have an inverse  impact on the
market  value  of  the  Company's  investments  and  mortgage-backed  securities
portfolios.

ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME

               Net interest income  represents the difference  between income on
interest-earning  assets  and  expense  on  interest-bearing   liabilities.  Net
interest income also depends on the relative amounts of interest-earning  assets
and  interest-bearing  liabilities  and the interest  rate earned or paid on the
assets or liabilities.

               AVERAGE  BALANCE  SHEET.  The following  tables set forth certain
information  relating to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30,
2000  and 1999  and for the  year  ended  December  31,  1999.  For the  periods
indicated,  the dollar amount of interest  income from average  interest-earning
assets and the  resultant  yields,  as well as the  interest  expense on average
interest-bearing   liabilities,   is  expressed  in  thousands  of  dollars  and
percentages.  No tax equivalent adjustments were made. The average balance is an
average daily balance.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               GENERAL.  Net income  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000
increased  by $9,000 to $617,000 for the second  quarter 2000 from  $608,000 for
the three months  ended June 30, 1999.  Net income for the six months ended June
30, 2000 was $1.2 million,  consistent  with the reported net income for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.  The increases  were due primarily to an increase in
net interest  income and  decreases in other  expenses and in the  provision for
income  taxes.  The  increases in income were  partially  offset by decreases in
other income and an increase in the provision for credit losses.

               INTEREST INCOME.  Interest Income increased by $932,000 or 20.7%,
to $5.4  million for the three  months ended June 30, 2000 from $4.5 million for
three months  ended June 30, 1999.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000 total
interest  income was $10.5  million,  an  increase  of $1.7  million or 18.8% as
compared  with the same period in 1999.  The  increase  in  interest  income was
primarily derived from an increase in income on loans receivable of $684,000 for
the second  quarter of 2000 and $1.1 million for the year to date.  In addition,
income on  investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities  increased  $13,000  and
$177,000  for the  three  months  ended  and six  months  ended  June  30,  2000
respectively.  Dividend income on equity securities  increased  $302,000 for the
quarter and $565,000 year to date.  Interest on federal funds decreased  $67,000
for the second quarter 2000 and $176,000 year to date  partially  offsetting the
increases in interest income.

               The  increase  in loan income is a result of an increase of $27.9
million in the average  balance in loans  receivable  for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 as compared  with the same period in 1999,  as well as an increase
of 30 basis points in average  yield earned,  increasing  from 8.06% at June 30,
1999 to  8.36% at June 30,  2000.  Management's  strategy  is to  emphasize  the
origination  of consumer  and  commercial  business  loans for  retention in the
Bank's portfolio.  Consumer and commercial business loans increased $5.8 million
during the first and second  quarter 2000.  In addition,  the Bank has increased
the residential  real estate portfolio by $3.1 year to date due to the increased
demand for adjustable rate loan products in the current rate environment.

               Investment  income  increased as a result of an increase of $11.2
million in the average balance of investment and mortgage-backed  securities for
the three month period  ended June 30, 2000 as compared  with the same period in
1999.  The increase in  investment  income was also the result of an increase in
the average yield of  investment  securities of 41 basis points to 6.54% for the
period. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 the average balance of investment
and  mortgage-backed  securities  increased $25.6 million with the average yield
increasing  19 basis  points from 6.28%  during the six month  period in 1999 to
6.47% during the 2000 period.

               Income on federal funds  decreased  during the three months ended
June 30,  2000 to $11,000 as compared  with  $78,000  for the 1999  period.  The
decrease in income is due to a decrease of $6.0  million in the average  balance
of federal funds.  The decrease in the average  balance was due to the temporary
investment of stock proceeds during the 1999 quarter  resulting in a higher than
normal  investment  level and significant  loan growth during 2000 quarter which
has employed excess cash.

               INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $2.8 million for the three
months  ended June 30,  2000;  an  increase  of  $591,000 or 26.9% from the same
period in 1999.  The  increase  in interest  expense is due to interest  paid on
borrowed funds. The average balance  outstanding in borrowings  during the three
months ended June 30, 2000 was $64.0  million  compared to $30.6 million for the
same period in 1999. Borrowed funds resulted in interest expense of $954,000 for
the  second  quarter of 2000  compared  with  $401,000  of  interest  expense on
borrowed  funds for the 1999 period.  Year to date interest  expense on borrowed
funds has increased $1.2 million from $603,000  during the six months ended June
30,  1999 to $1.8  million  for the 2000  period.  Interest  expense on deposits
increased by $38,000 for the three  months ended June 30, 2000 to $1.8  million,
an increase of 2.1%.  The increase in interest  expense on deposits was due to a
24 basis  point  increase in the  average  rate paid on deposits  for the second
quarter 2000 and an increase in the average balance on deposit  accounts of $1.0
million.  The average balance of deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2000
increased $2.1 million as compared with the same period of 1999, resulting in an
increase in interest expense partially offset by a decrease of 5 basis points in
the average rate paid on deposits during the 2000 period.

               PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES.  Total  provisions for credit losses
for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 were  $84,000 as compared to $45,000
made during the same period of 1999.  The  allowance  for credit losses was $1.6
million or 0.99% of loans  receivable  at June 30,  2000 as  compared  with $1.5
million or 1.16% of loans  receivable  at June 30, 1999.  Although the allowance
for loan  losses  has  decreased,  non-performing  assets  have  also  decreased
representing 0.07% of total assets at June 30, 2000 compared with 0.32% of total
assets at June 30, 1999.  Management  continues  to monitor  changes in the loan
portfolio  mix in  response to the  redirection  of loan asset  origination  and
retention toward consumer and commercial  business loans. The method utilized to
evaluate adequacy of the allowance level accounts for the higher relative degree
of credit  risk  associated  with this  activity as  compared  with  traditional
residential real estate lending.

               OTHER INCOME.  Other operating  income  decreased by $381,000 for
the three month  period  ending June 30, 2000  compared  with the same period in
1999 to $102,000 from  $483,000.  This was primarily due to the  recognition  of
gains and losses upon the sale of certain  investment  securities during the two
periods.  Losses of  $149,000  were  recognized  during the 2000 period as lower
yielding  securities were sold and reinvested at higher current rates of return.
During the 1999 period, security gains of $280,000 were recognized. Other income
adjusted to eliminate  investment  gains and losses increased to $251,000 during
the quarter  ended June 30, 2000  compared  with  $203,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999

               OTHER EXPENSES. Operating and other expenses decreased by $54,000
or 2.9%,  to $1.8  million  for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 from $1.9
million for the same period in 1999.  The  decrease is  primarily  the result of
$84,000 in expenses recognized for the establishment of a real estate subsidiary
during the 1999 period.  Other operating expenses increased $241,000 for the six
months  ended  June 30,  2000 as  compared  with the same  period  of 1999.  The
increase  was  primarily  due to an increase of  $246,000  in  compensation  and
benefits expense due in part to the timing of recording  certain payroll related
expenses  and the  opening in  November  1999 of the Bank's  sixth  full-service
banking office located in Canastota, New York.

               INCOME TAX.  Income tax expense was $236,000 for the three months
ended  June 30,  2000,  a  decrease  of $34,000  from the  second  quarter  1999
provision of $270,000.  The  effective  tax rate  decreased to 28.6% for 2000 to
date from 35.2% for the six months of 1999 as the Company has  employed  various
strategies to reduce the tax burden in this and future periods.

ITEM 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk



               Various  forms of market risk are inherent in the business of the
Bank  including  concentration  risk,  liquidity  management,  credit  risk  and
collateral  risk among  others.  However,  the Bank's most  significant  form of
market  risk is interest  rate risk,  as the  majority of the Bank's  assets and
liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates.  Ongoing  monitoring and
management  of this risk is an important  component of the  Company's  asset and
liability  management process.  The Bank's interest rate risk management program
focuses  primarily on  evaluating  and managing  the  composition  of the Bank's
assets  and  liabilities  in the  context of various  interest  rate  scenarios.
Factors  beyond  Management's   control,  such  as  market  interest  rates  and
competition,  also have an impact on interest income and interest expense. For a
discussion of the Company's asset and liability  management  policies as well as
the potential  impact of interest rate changes upon the earnings of the Company,
see "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders.  There has been
no material change in the Company's risk profile since December 31, 1999.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1 Legal Proceedings

               The  Company  and  its   subsidiary   are  not  involved  in  any
litigation, nor is the Company aware of any pending litigation, other than legal
proceedings incident to the business of the Company, such as foreclosure actions
filed on behalf  of the  Company.  The  Oneida  Indian  Nation  (the  "Oneidas")
continues  to pursue  their land claim over  270,000  acres on Central  New York
State  which  includes  much of the Bank's  market  area.  To date  neither  the
original  claim nor the  amended  motion has had an adverse  impact on the local
economy or real property values. Both the State of New York and the Oneidas have
indicated in their respective communications that individual landowners will not
be  adversely  affected by the ongoing  litigation.  Neither the Company nor the
Bank is a named defendant in the pending motion. Management, therefore, believes
the results of any current  litigation  would be immaterial to the  consolidated
financial condition or results of operation of the Company.
