                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                   (Unaudited)

                                  June 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 six-month  period ended June 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 June  30,  2000  were
$32,005,013  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.

Earnings per share (diluted) for second quarter 2000 reached $.72, a record high
for the  Company  and up 31% over the prior  year's  level of $.55;  for the six
month period,  earnings per share rose 35% to $1.42.  Net income for the quarter
and  six  months  was  $5.18  million  and  $10.21  million,  up  28%  and  32%,
respectively.  Return on equity (ROE)  increased a substantial  5.11  percentage
points to 18.77% for the  quarter,  slightly  higher  than  18.64% for the first
half.  Second quarter return on assets (ROA) rose to 1.11%,  up 15 basis points,
resulting in a year-to-date average of 1.10%.

o    Loans  climbed  nearly $30  million,  $4 million more growth than in second
     quarter  1999,  bringing  the total  increase  since June 30,  1999 to $121
     million or 12.8%.
o    Net  charge-offs  for the quarter  rose a modest 6.2%  compared to one year
     earlier, and remain more than 12% below 1999's first half level.
o    Net  interest  income for the three  months rose by 8.5% or $1.41  million,
     despite a modest reduction in spreads compared to one year ago.
o    Reflective of the purchase of Elias Asset Management (EAM) at the beginning
     of the quarter, noninterest income (excluding securities transactions) grew
     by nearly 42% or $1.62  million,  while  growth in  overhead  was held to a
     $1.13 million increase.
o    Lastly,  the Company  acquired  100,000 of its shares  during the  quarter,
     having now repurchased  648,100 shares or 8.5% of its shares outstanding at
     the time its 750,000 buy-back target was announced in third quarter 1998.

Cash earnings per share (diluted) also reached record levels, up 26% to $.82 for
the quarter  and up nearly 30% to $1.61 for the first six  months.  Year-to-date
tangible  return on equity  climbed to  21.12%,  exceeding  nominal  ROE by 2.48
percentage  points  for the same  period,  while  cash ROA  rose to  1.24%.  The
difference  between cash and nominal  results  reflects the  contribution of the
Company's  acquisitions on an economic basis, which excludes the non-cash impact
of amortizing premiums paid for the acquisitions.

Compared to first quarter 2000,  earnings  increased $.02 per share or $156,000,
up 3.1%. Net interest  income rose a relatively  small $104,000 as a result of a
three basis point narrowing in net interest  margin  offsetting more than 60% of
the impact of $22.1 million additional average earning assets. This net benefit,
along with the absence of the prior quarter's  securities losses, was eliminated
by $498,000  greater loan loss  provision  expense.  The primary  reason for the
latter  increase  was  replenishment  of the loan loss  reserve  for a  $400,000
charge-off  recognized  on a  single  commercial  customer.  Noninterest  income
climbed a  substantial  $1.36  million,  of which the EAM  purchase  contributed
$934,000.  Noninterest  expense rose $952,000,  or $221,000 (up 1.7%)  excluding
EAM.

Net Interest Margin Narrows Modestly
------------------------------------

The relatively small decrease in the second quarter net interest margin over the
last three months to 4.40% reflects a 12 basis point improvement in the yield on
earning assets compared to a 17 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 being funded by more local
municipal time deposits and fewer capital market borrowings.  On average,  loans
were up $28.1 million for the quarter while investments fell $6.0 million, owing
to less attractive purchasing  opportunities  compared to the prior nine months.
The calculation of the full-tax equivalent net interest margin for 2000 includes
the impact on earning asset yields of various tax-efficient  securities and loan
strategies  implemented  in the last two years,  whose  combined tax savings had
previously  been measured  only by a lower  effective  corporate tax rate.  This
benefit accounts for  approximately an 13 basis point improvement in margin over
that previously reported.

On a reporting basis  comparable to second quarter 1999, the net interest margin
has  decreased by 14 basis  points.  This change  reflects the rising  financial
market  environment of the last year, an inverted  Treasury yield curve, and the
liability-sensitive position of the Company's balance sheet within a 12-15 month
time frame.


                                       13
<PAGE>


The  overall  yield on earning  assets has risen 30 basis  points  over the past
year, comprised of a 11 basis point improvement in loan portfolio yield and a 69
basis point increase in investment  portfolio yield. The latter is the result of
an 11%  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 variable
rate mix of the loan portfolio and continued  pressure on loan pricing  spreads,
partially offset by high cash flow from installment loans, which enables run-off
to be reinvested at current rates.

Compared to second quarter 1999, the increase in cost of interest  bearing funds
has been  limited to 51 basis  points,  less than half the rise in the  one-year
Treasury  rate.  The rate on interest  bearing  deposits  rose 24 basis  points,
largely  explained by rates on interest  checking and regular savings being held
virtually   unchanged  and  repricing  on  C.D.s  being  confined  to  scheduled
maturities.  The remainder of the increase in cost of funds  reflects the impact
of over 75% of earning  asset  growth being  funded with higher  capital  market
borrowings  (for which rates rose 34 basis points on average),  with the balance
being  supported by higher  consumer and business  demand deposits (up 5.3%) and
deposits of local municipalities (up 13.4%).  Average borrowings as a percent of
total funds  sources about  doubled  during the period,  rising to nearly 20% in
second quarter 2000 compared to 11% one year earlier.

Further  narrowing of margins may occur as past and forecasted  Federal  Reserve
actions and capital  market  responses work their way through the Bank's balance
sheet and  interest  rate  risk  position.  Management  continues  to  implement
programs designed to mitigate the impact of narrowing spreads, including raising
rates on new  installment  loans and  disciplined  comparison of loan pricing to
risk-free  investment  alternatives.  Approximately  one-third of borrowings has
original  maturities of three years or longer,  and at the present time, further
terming out is not anticipated.

Noninterest Income Grows Dramatically due to Financial Services Businesses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noninterest  income  (excluding net securities  gains/losses) for second quarter
2000 rose a  substantial  $1.62  million  or 42% from one year  earlier  to $5.5
million.  As indicated  above,  the bulk of the increase  ($1.32 million or 82%)
represents higher financial  services  revenue,  $934,000 of which resulted from
the purchase of Elias Asset  Management,  which was  completed on April 3, 2000.
Commissions  from the sale of mutual funds also  increased a strong  $223,000 or
72%, and insurance revenues doubled, rising $49,000. Revenues from the Company's
BPA/EBT business,  which provides investment management,  pension administration
and consulting services, were up $118,000 or 19%, while personal trust fees were
unchanged.  The balance of the increase in  noninterest  income was from general
banking fees,  largely from  overdraft fees (up 25%) and  commissions  (up 19%).
Compared to first quarter 2000,  noninterest income improved by $1.37 million or
33%, and for the first six months, rose $1.94 million or 25%.

Elias Asset  Management.  Inc.  (EAM) is a wholly owned  subsidiary of Community
Bank, N.A.  located in  Williamsville,  New York. EAM provides asset  management
services to the general public and earns non-interest management fee income. For
the three  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  management  fee  income  amounted  to
$934,000. Assets under management at June 30, 2000 were $693 million.

Financial  services now comprise 48% of total noninterest  income (excluding net
securities gains/losses);  specialty products, which largely includes electronic
and  mortgage  banking  and  servicing  activities,  contribute  8%; and general
banking fees make up 44% of  noninterest  income.  Despite higher fees from VISA
and ATM  transactions,  specialty  product revenues were flat compared to second
quarter 1999 due to the reduced mortgage banking activity.  First half secondary
market  originations and sales were $5.2 million versus $27.0 million last year,
reflective of  increasingly  slower demand for  residential  refinancing  due to
rising interest rates.



                                       14
<PAGE>


Noninterest income,  excluding transactions related to investment securities and
disposal of branch properties, as a percent of operating income was 22.3% in the
second quarter, a significant 4.2 percentage point increase from the prior year.
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, reached $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2000.

Loan Portfolio Continues to Expand at Double-Digit Pace
-------------------------------------------------------

Loans rose nearly $30 million  during the last three  months to $1.063  billion,
$5.5 million  more growth than in first  quarter 2000 and $4.3 million more than
for the same period last year.  During the last twelve months,  loans have grown
by almost  $121  million  or 12.8%.  Typical of the trend in recent  years,  the
largest share of growth in the portfolio for the quarter was in commercial loans
at $12.0 million or 40% of total growth.  This pace of increase falls within the
$10-$15  million range over the last five quarters,  bringing the rate of growth
during the last year to 14.8%.  Consumer  mortgages  held in  portfolio  was the
second fastest growing loan category for the quarter,  up $7.8 million or 26% of
total  growth.  Borrowers  continue to use this  vehicle to term out portions of
their consumer debt,  largely explaining the $24 million or 11.5% increase since
June 30, 1999.

Indirect consumer  installment loans (predominantly  automobile  financing) grew
$6.4  million  during  the last 90 days (22% of total  loan  growth),  for a $22
million or 10.8% rise since June 30,  1999.  Loans  began to climb in late March
1999 after  falling  since mid 1998 when the Company  adopted more  conservative
underwriting  practices.  Lastly,  consumer direct loans  (including home equity
loans) were up $3.5  million for the quarter,  accounting  for 12% of total loan
growth.  Outstandings  have increased  13.0% over the last twelve  months,  with
growth  beginning  during  second  quarter  1999 as a result  of the  successful
"Summer  Sizzler"  promotion,  whose  momentum has been  carried  through to the
current period.

Asset  Quality  Remains  Peer-Normal,  but  Precautionary  Additional  Loan Loss
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provision Taken
---------------

Nonperforming  loans  ended  the  quarter  at $6.5  million  or  .61%  of  loans
outstanding, up $1.8 million and 11 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 loan to a commercial
business which experienced start-up problems with a new piece of equipment. With
the equipment now fully  operative,  the  company's  primary  customer has begun
acquisition  talks with the company.  Based on estimated  collateral  shortfall,
$400,000  of this loan was  written  down in the  quarter  just  ended;  further
write-downs, if any, are not quantifiable at this time. The $800,000 increase in
nonperformers  since year-end 1999 largely reflects a handful of commercial loan
non-accruals. Based on the most recent peer bank data as of March 31, 2000, when
the Company's nonperforming loan ratio was .57%, CBSI ranked more favorably than
the peer norm of .59%.

The ratio of loan loss reserves to loans outstanding ended the quarter at 1.37%,
up two basis points during the last twelve months.  Coverage over  nonperformers
decreased  11  percentage  points  during the  quarter to 224%,  and was down 54
percentage  points  from the June  30,  1999  level.  Nonetheless,  the  reserve
continues  to exceed the Bank's  total  actual  losses for the last three years.
Moreover, the ratio of delinquencies (30 days or more) plus nonaccruals to total
loans  decreased  11 basis  points  during the quarter to 1.30%.  This ratio has
remained  in the 1.30% to 1.50%  range for the last 27 months,  well  within the
Company's internal guideline of less than 2.0%.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter  increased by $305,000 over first quarter
2000 and exceeded the same quarter last year by a relatively  small  $59,000 (up
6.2%).  As a percent  of average  outstandings,  net  charge-offs  rose 11 basis
points over the first three  months of this year to .39%,  but for the first six
months,  the ratio was down by 9 basis  points from the prior year to .34%.  The
improvement was due to steadily lower installment loan  charge-offs,  indicative
of more conservative  underwriting  practices and follow-up surveillance adopted
during 1998.  Installment  net  charge-offs  averaged .74% for the first half of
this year versus 1.08% for the 1999 period.  Commercial net charge-offs  rose to
 .21% through June 30 versus .13% last year,  and mortgage  loan net  charge-offs
remain miniscule for both periods.


                                       15
<PAGE>



Though the charge-off for the specific  commercial customer noted above had been
anticipated with a higher loan loss provision in fourth quarter 1999, the actual
charge-off  was replaced this quarter in the event of future  potential  losses.
That action,  in combination  with continued  strong loan growth,  resulted in a
$498,000 increase in loan loss provision during the second quarter, enabling the
provision to cover total actual net charge-offs by 1.67 times. This ample margin
serves as a precaution  in the event the Upstate New York economy  weakens after
its long-sustained period of relative economic health.

Efficiency Ratio Improves to Favorable 52% Range for First Six Months
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The  Company's  second  quarter   efficiency  ratio  (recurring   overhead  less
intangible  amortization  compared to net interest plus recurring  other income)
improved to 53.1% from 55.4% last year.  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,  steady progress in developing  more sources of noninterest  income,
and persistent control of overhead expense.

For second quarter 2000,  overhead (before  intangible  amortization) rose $1.10
million or 9.1% over the prior year's level;  excluding  the $670,000  impact of
the EAM purchase,  operating expense was up $427,000 or 3.6%. Nearly 90% of this
latter increase represents personnel expense, up $381,000 or 5.9%, reflective of
annual merit increases,  increased staff at Community Financial  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 medical expense.

Compared to first quarter 2000,  overhead  (before  intangible  amortization and
excluding  EAM) rose  $221,000.  A good  portion of this  increase was caused by
one-time  expenses  during  the  conversion  to  image-based  check  processing,
consulting  expense related to centralization  of certain  functions  previously
performed in the Company's two regions,  greater seasonal  advertising,  various
origination  costs  supportive  of  consumer  loan  and  investment   generation
programs, and a billing lag in the payment of armored car services.

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 March 31,  2000,  this
ratio was 15.6% and 18.3%,  respectively,  excluding the  Company's  capacity to
borrow additional funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

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.

1)   The change in interest  due to both rate and volume has been  allocated  to
     volume and rate changes in proportion to the  relationship  of the absolute
     dollar amounts of change in each.

     average  balances and rates of the totals;  they are not a summation of the
     changes of the components.

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.

Item 3.  Quantative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.

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.

                                       25

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 June 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                $ (1,193)                 (1.8%)
     - 200 bp                $   1,217                 (1.8%)

A second  simulation  was  performed  based on what the  Company  believes to be
conservative  levels of balance sheet growth (8% for loans,  2% for 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 June 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                $  (188)                  (0.3%)
     - 100 bp                 $   781                     1.2

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.
