OSWEGO COUNTY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Unaudited, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2000
(1) Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Oswego County Bancorp, Inc. (OCB or the Company) and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Oswego County Savings Bank (OCSB or the Bank).
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The statements were prepared in accordance
with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include
information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of
management, all material adjustments necessary for fair presentation,
consisting of normal accruals and adjustments, have been made in the
accompanying statements. The results of operations for the interim periods
presented should not be considered indicative of results that may be
expected for an entire fiscal year. The accompanying financial statements
are intended to be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 1999.
(2) 1999 Reorganization and initial public offering
Prior to July 13, 1999, the Bank operated as a mutually owned, state
chartered savings bank. To facilitate the institution's conversion to
stock form, both a mutual holding company and bank holding company were
formed in mid 1999. Under the reorganization, the Bank became a wholly
owned subsidiary of Oswego County Bancorp, Inc. which in turn became a
subsidiary of Oswego County MHC (MHC). On July 13, 1999, 399,500 shares of
the Company's common stock were sold in an initial public offering, and
15,980 shares were contributed to the Oswego County Charitable Foundation.
Net proceeds from the offering amounted to approximately $3.0 million, and
MHC retained a majority interest (471,750 shares) in the Company. An
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) was also formed, and it acquired
31,960 shares of the Company's common stock through January 2000. The ESOP
has no immediate plans to acquire additional shares.
(3) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by adding to
weighted average shares the number potentially issuable under the
Company's stock option plan and nonvested shares in a restricted stock
plan, under the treasury stock method. For 1999, only earnings or losses
subsequent to the Company's July 13 conversion to a stockholder-owned
institution are included in EPS computations. Such amount was a loss of
$106 thousand for the period beginning July 13 and ending September 30,
1999. The following table summarizes the number of shares utilized in
OCB's EPS calculations for the periods covered by these financial
statements.

(5) Certain current year events
The Company paid its first dividend of $.03 per share on May 15, 2000 and
indicated that it intends to consider dividends on a quarterly basis. A
second $.03 dividend was paid in August, and a third dividend of an equal
amount was declared on October 10, payable about November 6 to
shareholders of record on October 20, 2000.
A limited share buyback program was announced in April 2000, covering up
to 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock, subject to market
conditions. Through October 2000, 19,500 shares were repurchased.
At the April 20, 2000 annual meeting, shareholders approved stock option
and restricted stock plans for the Company covering aggregate grants of up
to 39,950 and 11,985 shares, respectively. Stock options granted must have
an exercise
- 5 -
<PAGE>
price equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant,
vesting over a period to be established at the time of grant and expiring
no later than ten years following the grant date. As a result of
shareholder approval of the stock option plan, grants to directors and
employees totaling 33,971 shares at an exercise price of $8.875 per share
were effective as of March 16, 2000.
Under the restricted stock plan, 6,594 newly issued shares were awarded to
directors, effective March 16, 2000, under terms that provide for
restrictions on transferability and assignability to lapse at the rate of
20% per year, with the first such lapse occurring in March 2001. The cost
of the shares, which is equal to the market value of OCB stock on the
grant date ($8.875 per share), is presented as a reduction of
shareholders' equity. Such cost is amortized as compensation expense over
the five-year period during which restrictions lapse.
At the April meeting, shareholders also approved a reduction in the number
of authorized shares of preferred and common stock to 500,000 and
3,000,000 shares, respectively. The reduced number of authorized shares is
expected to meet the Company's requirements in the foreseeable future and
will correspondingly reduce certain franchise taxes.
In April 2000, the Bank borrowed $4.0 million from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of New York for a term of five years at a 7.15% rate of interest. An
additional $3.0 million was borrowed from the Home Loan Bank in October
2000 for one year at a rate of 6.51%. The funds were utilized primarily
for additions to the loan portfolio and for the purchase of life insurance
contracts.
(6) New accounting pronouncements
In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 138 entitled "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 133." Statement 138 addresses a limited number of
issues that were causing difficulties for entities in the process of
implementing Statement 133, the standard establishing new accounting and
reporting requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.
The Statement 138 amendment does not alter OCB's expectation that
Statement 133 will not have a significant effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 140 entitled "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." Statement 140
replaces identically titled No. 125 and carries forward most of 125's
provisions without change. It does revise accounting standards for
securitizations and certain other transfers of financial assets and
collateral. The statement is generally applied prospectively to
transactions and servicing activities occurring after March 31, 2001,
although provisions with respect to collateral and certain disclosure
- 6 -
<PAGE>
requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2000. Statement 140 is expected to have no significant effect on OCB's
financial position or results of operations.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
FINANCIAL CONDITION: The total assets of Oswego County Bancorp, Inc. (OCB or the
Company) increased by $14.3 million or 11.7% during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000. Asset growth was funded with a $5.9 million increase in
deposits and $7.5 million in incremental borrowings. Shareholders' equity was
$14.5 million at September 30, 2000 compared to $14.2 million at the end of
1999.
Total investment securities decreased by 3.3% during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 due to the sale and maturity of a limited number of issues
and pay-downs on mortgage-backed bonds. The composition of OCB's securities
portfolios is summarized below.

======= ======
Loans increased by $13.9 million or 19.0% during the first three quarters of
2000 as the Company added $8.1 million of residential mortgages, $2.8 million of
commercial mortgage loans and $2.2 million of commercial business loans.
Residential loans were generated by the Company's retail banking offices and
through purchases of newly originated loans from a real estate firm operating in
a nearby community outside OCB's primary market area. The purchased residential
loans were underwritten by the Company under its normal credit standards. As the
result of commercial loan originations during the first nine months of 2000,
commercial business loans account for 9.4% of the total loan portfolio at the
end of the third quarter. Such loans typically carry higher rates of interest
than certain other loan products, and many of the loans have interest rates that
vary with changes in the prime rate. Loan balances by category are presented in
the table that follows.

======= ======
OCB purchased insurance policies on the lives of its directors during the first
half of 2000 for $4.3 million. The policies provide the Company with non-taxable
income in the form of estimated cash value increases.
The Company's deposits increased by $5.9 million or 5.9% in the first nine
months of 2000, reflecting continued growth in OCB's North Syracuse branch
office (opened in August 1999) and success in generating customer deposits from
the four established locations. Core deposits (demand, savings and money market)
have increased by $3.4 million during the current year.
The Company entered into two new borrowing arrangements in 2000 to provide funds
for asset growth. Both were through the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York: $4.0
million in April for a term of five years at 7.15%, and $3.0 million in October
for one year at 6.51%.
OCB's total equity increased by $0.3 million during the first nine months of the
current year. An increase in retained earnings produced by net income was offset
by dividends and by the purchase of 19,500 common shares for treasury and 5,500
shares for the Company's employee stock ownership plan. While no further
purchases for the ESOP are planned at this time, OCB's Board of Directors has
authorized the purchase of approximately 24,900 additional common shares for
treasury, subject to market conditions. Also adding to shareholders' equity
during 2000 is the reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss relating to
the market value of securities.
During the first nine months of 2000, OCB's nonperforming assets increased from
$1.6 to $1.7 million, and the composition of such assets changed to include more
nonaccruing commercial loans and fewer residential and commercial mortgage loans
and assets. These changes are consistent with the Company's efforts in recent
years to resolve problem mortgage loan situations and to expand commercial
business lending. Commercial business loans may involve additional
collectibility risks in some cases due to the absence or limited value of
collateral. A further discussion of third quarter increases in nonaccruing loans
and the provision for loan losses is provided in the section covering nine-month
operating results. A summary of the Company's nonperforming assets and related
ratios follows.

====== =====
Nonperforming assets
to total assets 1.26% 1.28%
Allowance for loan losses
to nonperforming loans 70.49% 81.35%
Future developments with respect to nonperforming assets will depend upon
regional and national economic conditions, underwriting judgments and business
and personal factors affecting the Bank's customers. Although management
considers the Bank's September 2000 loan loss allowance to be adequate, similar
factors will determine the sufficiency of the allowance in future periods. In
addition, banking regulators' judgments regarding the adequacy of the allowance
may differ from management's and further additions may be required.
NINE-MONTH OPERATING RESULTS: Net income amounted to $409 thousand through
September 2000, compared to $213 thousand in the first nine months of 1999.
Revenues improved by 24.8% as the Company expanded its base of earning assets
and developed new programs for generating fee income from customers. Expenses
increased by a lesser amount as the result of a branch opening in August 1999,
facility and computer system enhancements, and incremental costs of operating as
a publicly held company. Return on equity was 3.82% in the first nine months of
2000 versus 2.27% in the year-earlier period. Return on assets amounted to 0.42%
in 2000 compared to 0.25% in the 1999 period.
A $324 thousand improvement in net interest income between the two nine-month
periods was achieved by growing average loan and investment portfolios by $13.7
million in the aggregate. The Company's interest rate spread through September
2000 was 3.63%, .07% lower than in the 1999 period due to utilizing borrowings
as a funding source in the current year. Borrowings typically carry higher rates
than many deposit products but may be employed profitably to fund asset growth.
Such growth may produce greater net interest income even though the overall
spread percentage is reduced. Additionally, OCB's interest rate spread tends to
benefit in a rising rate environment, such as experienced in the first half of
2000, from its substantial portfolios of adjustable rate loans and from a
significant volume of savings accounts that are less sensitive to interest rate
movements. Excluding the effect of borrowings, the spread between average rates
earned on assets and paid on interest-bearing deposits increased during the
first nine months of 2000, compared to the same period in 1999.
Average loan balances rose by $6.3 million in the first three quarters of 2000
as commercial loans increased from $0.9 million in 1999 to $7.6 million in the
current year.
- 9 -
<PAGE>
Subsequent to the September 1999 year-to-date period, OCB also added $7.3
million, on average, to its investment securities portfolios. OCB's portfolio of
U.S. Government agency securities that are classified as available for sale
increased by $6.2 million and the Company's municipal bond holdings grew by $1.1
million.
Average asset growth during the past year was funded with stock offering
proceeds ($2.2 million effect), deposit growth ($4.5 million), and $8.2 million
in average borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. In addition
to originating or acquiring interest earning assets, OCB utilized funds for the
purchase of life insurance contracts averaging $2.6 million during the first
nine months of 2000.
The Company's net interest income has benefited from higher average levels of
demand and savings deposits which increased by $3.1 million from the first three
quarters of 1999 to the same period in 2000. Such deposits are desirable because
they tend to promote ongoing customer relationships and generally carry lower or
no rates of interest. The Company attributes deposit growth during the past year
to OCB's newest branch office in North Syracuse and to the development and
promotion of deposit products. A further analysis of changes in net interest
income is provided in the table that follows.

The provision for loan losses represents an amount added to the related
allowance to maintain a level sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the loan
portfolios. While net charge-offs through September 2000 were only $23 thousand,
the Company increased its provision for losses through the third quarter by 22%
($20 thousand) as compared to 1999, based mainly on loss estimates relating to
nonaccruing loans to a commercial borrower in liquidation. The collectible
portion of these loans, net of a government agency guarantee and loss allowances
provided to date, is estimated to be approximately $325 thousand. Further
information regarding the allowance for loan losses is provided in the table
below.

Service charge income increased to $750 thousand in the first nine months of
2000 from $311 thousand in the 1999 period. The Company has been attempting to
increase revenues from noninterest sources and produced this 141% improvement by
enhancing services available primarily to deposit customers and by revising fee
structures for existing services. In concert with others in the industry, OCB
has also attempted to limit the utilization of fee waivers. One program
available to demand deposit customers permits processing aggregate overdrafts of
up to $300 for a per-check fee. This program has been well received by customers
and accounts for a major portion of the increase achieved in service charge
revenues. Charge-offs relating to overdrafts not made good are recorded as
revenue reductions.
In the second quarter of 2000, the Company acquired single premium life
insurance policies on the lives of its directors. Earnings on the policies
represent the estimated increase in cash value during the period.
Total operating expenses rose from $3.4 million in the first nine months of 1999
to $4.0 million in 2000. Excluding the $160 thousand cost of common stock
contributed to a foundation in July 1999, the growth in expenses amounted to
25.0%. The increase reflects the opening of a fifth branch office in August of
1999, the ongoing cost of equipment and software upgrades associated with year
2000 enhancements, and professional fees and other costs relating to OCB's
activities as a publicly held entity. The Company's initial public offering was
completed in July 1999. Furthermore, certain facility improvements designed to
enhance the attractiveness to customers and the efficiency of facilities were
completed in 1999, producing higher levels of depreciation expense in the
current year. Consistent with the reduction in problem real estate loans and
assets, the net cost of carrying and disposing of foreclosed properties
decreased to a credit of $7 thousand in the year 2000 from expense of $73
thousand in 1999. OCB also incurred contingent fees in the first nine months of
2000 relating to a profitability study and expects to incur additional fees
during the remainder of the year.
OCB's income tax expense increased in the first three quarters of 2000 to $157
thousand from $84 thousand in the 1999 period. The 86.9% increase was mainly the
result of a 90.6% increase in pretax income.
THIRD QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS: The Company earned $183 thousand in the third
quarter of 2000, compared to a loss of $76 thousand in the year-ago quarter.

<PAGE>
The 1999 loss is attributed to a $160 thousand contribution to a charitable
foundation at the time of OCB's July 1999 initial public offering. Newly issued
common stock was contributed. The substantial improvement in earnings in the
most recent quarter, beyond the effect of the 1999 contribution, was the result
of an 8.9% increase in net interest income and a 223% increase in noninterest
revenues.
Improvement in the quarter's net interest income was achieved mainly by
increasing OCB's average earning assets by $12.2 million. The average loan
portfolio advanced by $12.1 million while investment securities were $4.0
million higher and federal funds were $3.8 million lower. The Company has
continued to add to its commercial loan portfolio, increasing it from $1.9
million on average in the 1999 quarter to $8.4 million in the most recent
quarter. Residential mortgage volumes also grew, by $4.8 million, in relation to
the 1999 quarter. While the spread between average interest rates on earning
assets and deposits increased in comparison to the prior year quarter, the
Company's overall spread decreased slightly (by 0.03%) due to the addition of
borrowings as a funding source. Average borrowings amounted to $10.8 million in
the September 2000 quarter and were not utilized in the 1999 quarter. Additional
information regarding the components of OCB's net interest income, spread and
margin is presented in the table below.

nm not meaningful.
A 223% increase in third quarter noninterest revenues was mainly the result of
147% growth in service charges earned from deposit customers. Much of the
increase was generated from checking account customers' utilization of an
overdraft privilege that was expanded in early 2000. Earnings from life
insurance contracts purchased by the Company, mainly in the second quarter of
2000, are also included in the noninterest income category.
Excluding the 1999 charitable contribution mentioned above, operating expenses
increased from $1.2 million in the third quarter of 1999 to $1.3 million in the
current year quarter. The increase reflects the addition of a fifth branch
office in August 1999, facility

and system upgrades during the past year, and incremental costs of operating as
a public company.
The effective rates of income tax were 27.1% in the 2000 quarter and 51.3%, a
benefit, in the 1999 period. Earnings from the Company's tax exempt securities
lower taxes in relation to pretax income and increase tax benefits when there is
a pretax loss, as in the third quarter of 1999. In the year 2000, OCB also
generated nontaxable income from life insurance policies it owns.
