REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- ---------------------------------



To the Participants and Administrative Committee of
the First Empire State Corporation
Retirement Savings Plan and Trust


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
benefits of the First Empire State Corporation Retirement Savings Plan and
Trust (the Plan) as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the related statement
of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then
ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
Administrative Committee.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements audited by us present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the
First Empire State Corporation Retirement Savings Plan and Trust at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Plan changed its
method of accounting for benefit payments for the year ended December 31,
1993.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included
in Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional
information required by ERISA.  Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

FIRST EMPIRE STATE CORPORATION
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN AND TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements



 1.  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     GENERAL

     The following description of the First Empire State Corporation
     Retirement Savings Plan and Trust ("the Plan") is provided for general
     information purposes and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
     the Plan.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
     Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

     ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan and was established for the
     benefit of permanent full-time employees of First Empire State
     Corporation and its subsidiaries ("the Company").  Persons who are at
     least 21 years of age and have completed 12 months of continuous serv-
     ice are eligible to participate in the Plan.  Eligible employees may
     elect to participate effective the first day of any January, April,
     July or October subsequent to meeting the eligibility criteria.

     ADMINISTRATION

     The Plan is administered by a committee (Administrative Committee)
     which is appointed by the Board of Directors of Manufacturers and
     Traders Trust Company ("M&T Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of First
     Empire State Corporation ("First Empire").  The assets of the Plan are
     held by M&T Bank, as Trustee.  The Wyatt Company, an actuarial and
     consulting firm, provides recordkeeping services on an individual
     participant basis to the Plan. 

     The Board of Directors of M&T Bank has the right to terminate, amend
     or modify the Plan at any time subject to the Plan provisions.  Upon
     Plan termination, participants will receive the assets allocated to
     their accounts.

     CONTRIBUTIONS

     Contributions to the Plan are made by the participants through salary
     reduction and by the Company through employer matching contributions. 
     The participants may elect to reduce their compensation by a specified
     whole percentage not to exceed 8%, subject to certain limitations
     under Section 401(k) and Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code. 
     The Company remits to the Plan on behalf of each participant the
     amount by which the participant's compensation is reduced.  In addi-
     tion, the Company makes an employer matching contribution in an amount
     equal to 75% of the participant's contribution limited to 4.5% of the
     participant's compensation.  Compensation is generally defined in the
     Plan to mean a participant's base salary for the calendar year
     excluding any form of additional compensation.  Generally, total
     annual contributions may not exceed the lesser of 25% of compensation,
     as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, or $30,000, adjusted for
     inflation.  An individual participant's pre-tax contribution was lim-
     ited to $8,994 in 1993 and $8,728 in 1992.  Contributions above this
     limit were treated as post-tax contributions.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN AND TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements



      Participants' accounts, including all salary reduction contributions,
      employer matching contributions and increments thereon are at all
      times fully vested and nonforfeitable.

      INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

      Participants may invest their salary reduction contributions in the
      common stock of First Empire State Corporation (the "First Empire
      stock fund"), equity securities other than those of First Empire (the
      "diversified equity fund"), short-term fixed income securities other
      than those of First Empire (the "money-market fund") or long-term
      fixed income securities other than those of First Empire (the "bond
      fund") in increments of 25%.  A separate account is maintained for
      each participant's interest in each fund.  There were 2,395 par-
      ticipants in the First Empire stock fund, 1,583 in the diversified
      equity fund, 1,310 in the money-market fund and 1,272 in the bond fund
      at December 31, 1993.  A total of 2,695 employees of the Company were
      active participants in the Plan at December 31, 1993.  The allocation
      of net assets available for Plan benefits to investment programs and
      allocation of changes in net assets available for Plan benefits to
      investment programs are set forth in Exhibit I and II, respectively.

      On January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, participants
      may, in accordance with the rules of the Plan, transfer existing
      balances among the available investment funds, reduce or increase the
      percentage of salary reduction elected and/or redirect their current
      salary reduction contributions into different funds.  Contributions
      may be suspended at any time.

      EMPLOYER MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS

      Employer matching contributions are invested in the above funds in the
      same proportion as elected by the participants.

      LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS

      Upon written application to the Administrative Committee, participants
      may borrow from their account an amount not to exceed the lesser of
      (1) 50% of the participant's vested account balance as of the most
      recent valuation date or (2) $50,000 reduced by the participant's
      highest outstanding loan balance in the twelve months prior to the
      date of loan origination.  The minimum loan amount is $1,000.  Loans
      bear interest at one percentage point above prime as designated by M&T
      Bank and are repaid in equal installments through after-tax payroll
      deductions for a period of up to five years.

      WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

      A participant undergoing financial hardship may make withdrawals from
      the Plan while employed by the Company, subject to Plan limitations. 
      Upon termination of employment for any reason, participants are
      entitled to a distribution of the full amount of individual account
      balances as of the revaluation date immediately following such
      termination of service.

      Unless the participant elects otherwise, distribution of the full
      amount of the participant's account balance will be made no later than
      60 days after the close of the calendar year in which the last of the
      following

      occurs:  (a) the participant attains age 65; (b) the tenth anniversary
      of the year in which participation began; or (c) the participant
      terminates service with the Company.  The participant may elect to
      defer distribution until no later than April 1 of the calendar year
      following the year in which age 70-1/2 is attained.
      
 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

      The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

      INVESTMENTS

      Investments are reported on a current value basis.  Investments of the
      First Empire stock fund, diversified equity fund, money-market fund
      and bond fund are traded on national securities exchanges and are
      valued using the last reported sales price prior to the close of the
      Plan year.  Loans to participants are valued by the Administrative
      Committee as no active market exists for such loans.  The loans, which
      are fully secured by a portion of the participant's vested benefits,
      were determined to have a current value which approximates the
      outstanding principal balance of the loans at both December 31, 1993
      and 1992.

      Investment income of the First Empire stock fund, diversified equity
      fund, money-market fund and bond fund is allocated to participants
      based on their proportionate share of the respective investment fund's
      net assets.  Interest income on loans to participants is allocated to
      the participants based on their respective loan agreement.

      BENEFIT PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS

      During 1993, the Plan changed its method of accounting for benefit
      payments to participants by no longer accruing for benefit payments
      payable to participants at the end of the period.  This change was
      made to comply with reporting standards established by the American
      Institute of Certified Public Accountants as set forth in its Audit
      and Accounting Guide, "Audits of Employee Benefit Plans", revised as
      of May 1, 1993.  In accordance with Accounting Principles Board
      Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes", the financial statements for
      1992 are presented as previously reported.  The cumulative effect of
      applying the new method of accounting is to increase the amount
      reported as net increase in net assets available for plan benefits for
      the year ended December 31, 1993 by $527,103.  The proforma net
      increase in net assets available for plan benefits as though the
      change in accounting had been adopted retroactively is shown on the
      Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits and in
      Exhibit II.

      Amounts payable to participants who have elected to make withdrawals
      from the Plan amounted to $603,796 at December 31, 1993; $210,907 in
      the First Empire stock fund, $120,436 in the diversified equity fund,
      $204,527 in the money-market fund, and $67,926 in the bond fund.
