ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On  November  10,  2000,  Troy  Financial  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation
("Troy") completed its acquisition of Catskill Financial Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Catskill") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June
7,  2000,  by and  among  Troy,  Charlie  Acquisition  Corporation,  a  Delaware
corporation  and a wholly owned  subsidiary of Troy ("Merger  Sub") and Catskill
(the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provided for the merger of Merger
Sub with and into Catskill,  with Catskill being the surviving  corporation  and
becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Troy and the immediate  subsequent  merger
of Catskill into Troy. Also, as part of the acquisition,  Catskill Savings Bank,
a wholly owned  subsidiary of Catskill was merged with and into The Troy Savings
Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Troy.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of Catskill common
stock are entitled to receive  $23.00 in cash for each share of Catskill  common
stock held at the close of  business on November  10,  2000.  The amount of such
consideration was determined based upon arm's-length  negotiations  between Troy
and  Catskill.  The  source  of the funds  that  will be used to pay the  merger
consideration  consists of Troy's  existing funds and special  dividends paid to
Troy by Troy Bank.

In connection with the acquisition, Troy acquired all of the equipment and other
physical  property of Catskill  and its  subsidiaries,  all of which was used in
Catskill's  banking  business.  Troy  intends to use the assets  acquired in the
Catskill Merger in the manner utilized by Catskill and its subsidiaries prior to
the acquisition.

The press release  related to the closing of the Catskill  Merger is attached as
Exhibit 99.1.
