Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2000
Note A -- Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with 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) considered
necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.
On January 29, 1997, Community Bank System, Inc. ("Company") formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Community Capital Trust I ("Trust"), a
Delaware statutory business trust. The Trust has issued $30 million aggregate liquidation amount of 9.75% Company-Obligated
Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust. The Company
borrowed the proceeds of the Preferred Securities from the Trust by issuing Junior Subordinated Debentures to the Trust having
substantially similar terms as the Preferred Securities. The sole assets of the Trust on September 30, 2000 were $31,252,830
aggregate principal amount of the Company's Junior Subordinated Debentures, together with the related accrued interest receivable
thereon. The Preferred Securities mature in 2027, and are treated as Tier 1 capital by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The
guarantees issued by the Company for the Trust, together with the Company's obligations under the Trust Agreement, the Junior
Subordinated Debentures and the Indenture under which the Junior Subordinated Debentures were issued, constitute a full and
unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust.
On April 3, 2000, Community Bank System, Inc. acquired all the stock of Elias Asset Management, Inc. for cash of $6.5 million. In
accordance with the stock purchase agreement, additional consideration will be paid if certain revenue targets are met over the next
five years. This transaction was accounted for under the purchase method.
On September 26, 2000, Community Bank System, Inc. ("Company") and The Citizens National Bank of Malone ("Citizens"), entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement"). Citizens is a national bank with five branches in Northern New York, with
approximately $118 million in total assets, $95 million in deposits and $60 million in loans as of December 31, 1999.
The Merger Agreement provides that Citizens will merge with and into Community Bank, N.A., a national banking association and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Bank"). Shareholders of Citizens will receive 1.70 shares of common stock of the
Company for each share of Citizens common stock they hold. Based upon the number of shares of Citizens common stock issued and
outstanding on September 26, 2000, the Company will issue in the merger a total of 952,000 shares of its common stock. The Company
intends to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the shares of its common stock to be issued in the merger.
The consummation of the merger is subject to various conditions, including the approval by the shareholders of Citizens and the
receipt of regulatory approvals. Subject to the satisfaction of all of the conditions, the merger is expected to be completed in the
fourth quarter of 2000. The merger will be accounted for as a purchase and is intended to qualify as a tax-free exchange for the
shareholders of Citizens.
Total noninterest expense of Citizens was $1,139,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000; the Company expects cost reductions in
excess of 50% by the end of the first year of combined operations. The noninterest income of Citizens was $765,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000; the Company expects a minimum 7% increase by the end of the first year of combined operations. The net interest
income of Citizens was $4,924,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000; the Company expects a minimum 2% increase by the end of the
first year of combined operations.
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 during the
year. The following is a reconciliation of basic to diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

Earnings per share (diluted) for third quarter 2000 reached $.72, a record high for any third quarter and up 6% over the prior year's
level of $.68. For the nine-month period, earnings per share rose 24% to $2.14. Net income for the quarter and nine months was
$5.13 million and $15.33 million, up 5% and 21%, respectively. Return on equity for the nine months increased a substantial 3.81
percentage points over last year to 18.17%. Compared to second quarter 2000, net income was off a slight 1.0% while earnings per
share were unchanged due to the impact of the Company's stock repurchase program.
Cash earnings per share (diluted) also achieved record third quarter levels, up over 6% to $.82 and up nearly 21% to $2.43 for the
first nine months. Year-to-date tangible return on equity climbed to 20.62% while tangible return on assets rose to 1.23%.
Third Quarter Performance Highlights
CBU's record third quarter results reflect success with its strategy to develop sources of noninterest income which help mitigate
industry-wide pressure on traditional spread income.
o Loans climbed over $18 million during the quarter, bringing the total increase since September 30, 1999 to $99 million or 10.1%,
a faster rate of growth than 8.1% in the prior twelve-month period.
o Noninterest income (excluding securities transactions) grew by $458,000 during the third quarter, bringing the ratio of
noninterest income to operating income to 21.4% for the year compared to 18.7% for the same 1999 period.
o Net interest income for the three months decreased by 1.9% or $345,000 compared to second quarter 2000, reflecting a narrowing
of spreads largely due to the higher cost of renewed C.D.s.
o Overhead expense decreased $235,000 from second quarter 2000, improving the Company's efficiency ratio to 52.6% for the nine
months compared to 54.7% a year ago.
o Net charge-offs doubled from the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $2.1 million, largely attributable to two isolated loans.
These charges were equally matched by loan loss provision expense, which rose $421,000 over the second quarter level.
o Assets under management exceeded $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2000.
Net Interest Margin Narrows Further
The net interest margin, which began to narrow in the first quarter of this year, decreased 21 basis points in the third quarter
compared to a three basis point decrease in the second quarter. This reduction to 4.19% reflects a three basis point improvement in
the yield on earning assets compared to a 30 basis point rise in the cost of interest bearing funds. The latter increase reflects
similarly higher rates paid on both deposits and borrowed funds, with growth in earning assets during the quarter largely being
funded by higher demand and time deposits held by individuals and businesses. On average, loans were up $24.4 million for the
quarter while investments rose $13.2 million; $8.3 million of the latter increase reflects pre-investing of anticipated run-off of
callable bonds in 2001 and the balance is in temporary money market holdings.
Compared to third quarter 1999, the net interest margin has decreased by 43 basis points. This change reflects the impact of an
inverted Treasury yield curve during much of the period, which held down the customary increase in gross yields on non-prime based
loans compared to rising time deposit and borrowing rates, and the liability-sensitive position of the Company's balance sheet within
a 12-15 month time frame. Based on data for second quarter 2000, the Bank's net interest margin is in the favorable 56th peer
percentile.
The overall yield on earning assets has risen 47 basis points over the past year, comprised of a 42 basis point improvement in loan
portfolio yield and a 56 basis point increase in investment portfolio yield. The latter is the result of a 12% expansion of the
portfolio via selective securities purchases and elimination of accelerated amortization of premiums on certain collateralized
mortgage obligations. The smaller increase in loan yield reflects the fixed/variable rate mix of the loan portfolio (approximately
70% versus 30%) and continued pressure on loan pricing, partially offset by high cash flow from installment loans, which enables
run-off to be reinvested at current rates.
Compared to third quarter 1999, the cost of interest bearing funds has risen 87 basis points versus a 99 basis point rise in the
one-year Treasury rate. The rate on interest bearing deposits increased 70 basis points, with rates on interest checking and regular
savings being held unchanged while maturing CDs were repriced at higher rates. In addition, 65% or $71 million of the increase in
loans was funded by deposit growth. Consumer and business demand deposits rose $12.4 million (up 5.7%), and deposits of local
municipalities climbed nearly $36 million (their time deposits generally being a lower cost alternative to capital market
borrowing). The balance of the increase reflects the Bank's successful 13 and 19 month CD promotions, which have attracted over $84
million in new money (27% of the promotions) since their inception in the spring of 1999. Individual and business deposits as a
whole have climbed over $35 million or 2.9% over the last four quarters.
The remainder of the increase in cost of funds compared to third quarter 1999 was caused by $109 million more in capital market
borrowings, for which rates rose 91 basis points on average. Thirty-five percent of these borrowings supported loan growth, with the
balance funding increases in investments and other assets. The ratio of average borrowings to total funds sources in the third
quarter was 19.9%, virtually unchanged from the second quarter and about five percentage points higher than one year earlier.
Further narrowing of margins may occur as past Federal Reserve actions and capital market responses work their way through the Bank's
balance sheet and interest rate risk position. In the meantime, programs designed to mitigate the impact of narrowing spreads have
been implemented. These include disciplined comparison of loan pricing to risk-free investment alternatives, elimination of the 19
month CD promotion, and downward pricing of the 13 month promotion. In addition, during the three week period beginning on September
25, $100 million in borrowings was termed out for a minimum two year period at an average rate of 5.86%, approximately 75 basis
points less than previously paid on an overnight basis. Following this action, borrowings under one year are expected to fluctuate
in the $125-$175 million range.
Noninterest Income Grows Dramatically due to Financial Services Businesses
As previously highlighted, the rise in noninterest income (excluding net securities gains/losses) for the current reporting period
more than offset the narrowing of net interest income, reflective of the Company's strategy beginning in 1994 to reduce its reliance
on traditional spread income. Compared to second quarter 2000, other income rose $458,000 versus a $345,000 decrease in net interest
income.
The reason for the third quarter increase was receipt of the Company's annual dividend on creditor life and disability insurance
written though a subsidiary of the New York State Bankers Association (NYBA) in the amount of $483,000, up 6% over the 1999 level.
In contrast to third quarter 1999, noninterest income rose $1.4 million versus $25,000 more in net interest income. Besides the
improvement in the NYBA dividend, the climb in other income over third quarter 1999 includes $1.1 million in revenues earned by Elias
Asset Management (EAM), which was purchased on April 3, 2000, and greater commissions on the sale of mutual fund products through
Community Investment Services, Inc. (CISI).
For the first nine months of the year, noninterest income rose $3.37 million (up 28%), identical to the dollar increase in net
interest income (up 6.8%). Financial services accounted for $2.82 million of this amount, with $2.04 million being attributable to
the purchase of EAM, without which financial service revenues would have climbed 17%. This latter increase includes $455,000 more in
CISI revenues (up 53% to $1.3 million) and $109,000 greater commissions/dividends from the sale of insurance products (up 17% to
$755,000). In addition, revenues from the Company's BPA/EBT business, which provides investment management, pension administration
and consulting services, rose $167,000 (up 19% to $2.2 million) while personal trust fees increased $46,000 (up 4.7% to $1.0 million).
The balance of the increase in year-to-date noninterest income was from general banking fees, largely from overdraft fees (up
$500,000 or 21%) and electronic banking fees from VISA and ATM transactions (up $273,000 or 28%). Mortgage banking revenues were
lower by $132,000 (down 36% to $235,000). Secondary market originations and sales for the first nine months were $7.1 million versus
$37.0 million last year, mirroring the impact of higher interest rates on the demand for residential purchase money mortgages and
refinancing.
Financial services now comprise nearly 52% of total noninterest income (excluding net securities gains/losses); specialty products,
which largely include electronic and mortgage banking and servicing activities, contribute 10%; and general banking fees make up 38%
of noninterest income. Noninterest income as a percent of operating income increased a significant 4.5 percentage points from the
prior year to 24.0% in the third quarter, excluding transactions related to investment securities and disposal of branch properties.
Assets under management, including those customer relationships managed by the Bank's personal trust department, BPA/EBT, Community
Investment Services, Inc. brokerage, and Elias Asset Management, exceeded $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2000.
Loan Portfolio Continues to Expand Though at More Moderate Pace
Loans rose $18.3 million during the last three months to $1.082 billion, a level $99 million or 10.1% higher than one year earlier;
this compares to 8.1% growth in the prior twelve-month period. The increase in loans was less than in prior quarters this year
because of a $2.2 million reduction in commercial loans outstanding. Besides commercial charge-offs totaling $1.45 million, there
were several large seasonal paydowns, including dealer floor plan reductions due to model year turn over, as well as certain planned
loan take-outs by other lenders. Over the last twelve months, commercial loans have climbed approximately $34 million or 9.4%.
Consumer mortgages held in portfolio increased by $13.5 million this quarter, their fastest rate of growth in over two years.
Borrowers continue to use this vehicle (the Bank pays all closing costs in exchange for a higher interest rate) to term out portions
of their consumer debt, largely explaining the $34 million or 16% increase since September 30, 1999. Consumer direct loans
(including home equity loans) were up $4.9 million for the quarter, the largest increase of the last four quarters; outstandings have
increased nearly 8.0% since September 30, 1999. Lastly, indirect consumer installment loans (predominantly automobile financing)
grew $2.2 million during the last 90 days, for a $16 million or 7.2% rise since September 30, 1999.
Underlying Asset Quality Remains Satisfactory
Nonperforming loans ended the quarter at $6.2 million or .58% of loans outstanding, up $2.1 million and 16 basis points,
respectively, compared to one year ago, with the bulk of the increase taking place during fourth quarter 1999. The primary reason for
that increase was a $1.9 million commercial loan which has since been written down by $900,000 and the company put up for sale. The
remaining $1.3 million increase in nonperformers since year-end 1999 largely reflects a handful of commercial and mortgage loan
non-accruals and $143,000 in installment loans. Based on the most recent peer bank data as of June 30, 2000, the Company's
nonperforming loan ratio virtually matched the peer norm of .62%.
The ratio of loan loss reserves to loans outstanding ended the quarter at 1.35%, up three basis points during the last twelve
months. Coverage over nonperformers was 235%, an 11 percentage point increase over second quarter 2000, and the reserve continues to
amply exceed the Bank's total actual losses for the last three years. The ratio of delinquencies (30 days or more) plus nonaccruals
to total loans rose 35 basis points during the quarter to 1.65%, well within the Company's internal guideline of less than 2.0%.
Delinquencies as of June 30, 2000 compared favorably to the peer median of 1.52%.
Net charge-offs for the third quarter doubled from the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $2.1 million, equally matched by loan loss
provision expense, which rose $421,000 over the second quarter level. The increase in net charge-offs reflects the further
write-down of the weakened commercial credit mentioned above ($400,000 was recognized in the second quarter and another $500,000 this
quarter) and a $950,000 write-off of a fraudulent accounts receivable loan uncovered during the summer. The limited program through
which this latter loan was administered is being terminated.
As a percent of average outstandings, net charge-offs rose to .79% for the quarter, bringing the year-to-date ratio to .49%, up three
basis points over the comparable 1999 period. The increase is entirely due to the two commercial loans mentioned above, which caused
a net 40 basis point rise in year-to-date commercial net charge-offs to .69%. Installment loan net charge-offs continue to remain
favorable for the quarter at .63%, down 34 basis points year-to-date to .70%. Net charge-offs on the remainder of the portfolio were
unchanged for the same period at .03%.
For the first nine months of the year, loan loss provision expense exceeded net charge-offs by 131% compared to 115% for the same
1999 period. Coverage was increased beginning in the fourth quarter of last year in light of the length of the current business
cycle and the potential impact of rising interest rates on borrowers.
Efficiency Ratio in Favorable 52% Range
The Company's third quarter efficiency ratio (recurring overhead less intangible amortization compared to net interest plus recurring
other income) rose slightly to 51.9% from 51.4% last year. On a year-to-date basis, there was a meaningful 2.1 percentage point
decrease to 52.6%. This favorable trend is a function of several factors: an increase in net interest income due to higher earning
assets, elimination of accelerated premium amortization of the Company's CMO securities, significant progress in developing more
sources of noninterest income, and persistent control of overhead expense.
For third quarter 2000, overhead (before intangible amortization) rose $782,000 or 6.5% over the prior year's level; excluding the
$656,000 impact of the EAM purchase, operating expense was up by $126,000 or 1.0%. On a year-to-date basis, noninterest expense was
up $882,000 or 2.3% before the EAM purchase. Nearly the entirety of this latter increase represents personnel expense, up $856,000
or 4.3%, reflective of annual merit increases, increased staff at Community Investment Services, Inc. (for which nearly all of the
compensation is commission-based), higher temporary help in the Bank's operations centers during the conversion to image-based check
processing, and higher pension and group benefits expense. The balance of the increase represents a variety of offsetting changes,
including higher equipment, data processing, and supplies expense offset by lower professional fees, cost of disposing of branch
properties, and selected loan and foreclosed property expense.
Compared to second quarter 2000, overhead (before intangible amortization and including EAM in both periods) decreased $235,000. A
good portion of this reduction represents return to more normal levels following seasonal or one-time expenses in the second
quarter. These latter items include conversion costs to image-based check processing, consulting expense related to centralization
of certain functions previously performed in the Company's two regions, annual report and annual meeting expense, and various
origination costs supportive of consumer loan and investment generation programs. In addition, armored car expense was down due to
heightened second quarter expense caused by a billing lag, and foreclosed property expense was reduced to more customary levels.
Liquidity
Due to the potential for unexpected fluctuations in deposits and loans, active management of the Company's liquidity is critical. In
order to respond to these circumstances, adequate sources of both on- and off-balance sheet funding are in place.
CBSI's primary approach to measuring liquidity is known as the Basic Surplus/Deficit model. It is used to calculate liquidity over
two time periods: first, the relationship within 30 days between liquid assets and short-term liabilities which are vulnerable to
nonreplacement; and second, a projection of subsequent cash availability over an additional 60 days. The minimum policy level of
liquidity under the Basic Surplus/Deficit approach is 7.5% of total assets for both the 30 and 90-day time horizons. As of September
30, 2000, this ratio was 12.5% and 14.6%, respectively, excluding the Company's capacity to borrow additional funds from the Federal
Home Loan Bank.
Interest Rate Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates/prices such as interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate
risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk, over both a short-term tactical and longer-term strategic time horizon, is
an important component of the Company's asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by its Board of
Directors, which reviews and approves them annually. The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out the
asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO). In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and
strategies impacting the Company's asset/liability management related activities based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy
limits, and overall market interest-related level and trends.
As the Company does not believe it is possible to reliably predict future interest rate movements, it has maintained an appropriate
process and set of measurement tools which enable it to identify and quantify sources of interest rate risk. The primary tool used
by the Company in managing interest rate risk is income simulation. The analysis begins by measuring the impact of differences in
maturity and repricing of all balance sheet positions. Such work is further augmented by adjusting for prepayment and embedded
option risk found naturally in certain asset and liability classes. Finally, balance sheet growth and funding expectations are added
to the analysis in order to reflect the strategic initiatives set forth by the Company.
Changes in net interest income are reviewed after subjecting the balance sheet to an array of Treasury yield curve possibilities,
including an up or down 200 basis point movement (BP) in rates from current levels. While such an aggressive movement in rates
provides management with good insight as to how the Company's profit margins may perform under extreme market conditions, results
from a more modest 100 BP shift in interest rates are used as a basis to conduct day-to-day business decisions.
The following reflects the Company's one-year net interest income sensitivity based on asset and liability levels on September 30,
2000, assuming no growth in the balance sheet, and assuming 200 BP movements over a twelve month period in the prime rate, federal
funds rate and the entire Treasury yield curve (assuming no change from its current inverted/flat shape):
REGULATORY MODEL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate Change Dollar Change Percent of Flat Rate
In Basis Points (in 000s) Net Interest Income
--------------- ---------------- -------------------
+ 200 bp $ (1,297) (1.9%)
- 200 bp $ 203 0.3%
A second simulation was performed based on what the Company believes to be conservative levels of balance sheet growth- - (high
single digit growth in loans, low single digit growth in deposits and necessary increases in borrowings, with no growth in
investment or any other major portions of the balance sheet)- - along with 100 BP movements over a twelve month period in the
prime rate and federal funds rate, and a yield curve moving closer to historical spreads to fed funds. Under this set of
assumptions, the Bank's net interest income is neutral in a rising rate environment because rate increases on certain
interest-bearing deposit accounts can be lagged to a greater degree and earning assets are added at higher and higher rates. In a
falling rate environment, net interest income is slightly better than if rates were unchanged as a result of balance sheet
strategies implemented during the first half of 2000.
The following reflects the Company's one-year net interest income sensitivity analysis based on asset and liability levels on
September 30, 2000, assuming the aforementioned balance sheet growth and yield curve changes:
MANAGEMENT MODEL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate Change Dollar Change Percent of Flat Rate
In Basis Points (in 000s) Net Interest Income
--------------- ---------------- -------------------
+ 100 bp $ (102) (0.2%)
- 100 bp $ 701 1.0
The preceding interest rate risk analyses do not represent a Company forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of
expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including: the nature and timing of
interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on
loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cashflows, and others. While the assumptions are developed based
upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these
assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change. Furthermore, the sensitivity analyses do not
reflect actions that ALCO might take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates.
Effects of Inflation
The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical
dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rate changes have a more
significant impact on the Company's performance than general levels of inflation.

The impact of interest not recognized on nonaccrual loans, and interest income that would have been recorded if the restructured
loans had been current in accordance with their original terms, was immaterial. The Company's policy is to place a loan on a
nonaccrual status and recognize income on a cash basis when it is more than ninety days past due, except when in the opinion of
management it is well secured and in the process of collection.
G) The following table summarizes loan balances at the end of each period indicated and the daily average amount of loans. Also
summarized are changes in the allowance for possible loan losses arising from loans charged off and recoveries on loans
previously charged off and additions to the allowance, which have been charged to expenses.
