NEWS RELEASE

AUBURN, Alabama, December 6, 2000 --- On December 6, 2000, Auburn National
Bancorporation's (The "Company") amended its September 30, 2000 Form 10-Q by
filing a Form 10QA.  The Form 10-Q that was filed on November 14, 2000 was
erroneously filed by the Company's EDGAR service provider before it was finally
reviewed by the Company, and before completion of the limited review by the
Company's independent auditors under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 71
("SAS No. 71").  The Company authorized our EDGAR service provider to transmit
Form 12b-25 "Notification of Late Filing" on November 14, 2000 but did not
authorize the transmittal of the Company's Form 10-Q.  The Company's senior
management and board of directors have completed its review of the Company's
loan portfolio, including a report by the bank's independent credit review
service.  As a result, an additional provision of $600,000 ($352,492, net of tax
effect) was made to the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2000 and
the financial statements as of and for the period then ended have been restated.
This provision reflects, in part, an increase in the percentage of the Company's
loan portfolio reviewed by the independent consultant in 2000, as well as
management's more detailed evaluations, estimates and judgements regarding
various identified credits.  With the additional provision, the Company reported
unaudited net income of approximately $2.1 million, or $0.55 per share, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to approximately $2.4 million, or
$0.61 per share, for the same period last year.  The Company's net income for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 was approximately $346,000, or $0.09
per share, compared to approximately $484,000, or $0.12 per share, for the same
period last year.  KPMG LLP, the Company's independent auditor, has completed
its limited SAS No. 71 review of the financial information included in the Form
10-QA for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.

     This provision will bring the level of the allowance for possible loan
losses to $3.7 million, or 1.42% of funded loans at September 30, 2000, compared
to $3.8 million or 1.45% of funded loans at December 31, 1999.  The Company's
allowance for possible loan losses at September 30, 2000 was approximately
53.69% of nonperforming loans compared to approximately 62.14% at December 31,
1999.

     Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. is the parent company of AuburnBank
with total consolidated assets of approximately $399 million.  The Company's
common stock trades on Nasdaq SmallCap market under the symbol of "AUBN."
