PART I

Item 1.  Business

Canandaigua National Corporation

     The Canandaigua National Corporation, referred to as The Corporation, was
organized on October 31, 1984, and registered under the Bank Holding Company 
Act of 1956, for the purpose of becoming a one-bank holding company.  The 
formation of the bank holding company was consummated on May 31, 1985, through 
the exchange of 80,000 shares of Canandaigua National Corporation $50 par value 
common stock for all of the outstanding shares of The Canandaigua National Bank 
and Trust Company.  The one-bank holding company serves as a means of 
increasing the scope of banking and financial services in the market area 
served by The Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Company.  The Corporation 
acquired Greater Funding of New York, Inc. (GFNYI) d/b/a Greater Funding, the 
Mortgage Company during 1996 BY purchasing its remaining 66.3% shares not owned 
by the Company.  GFNYI offers mortgage products that the bank is not licensed 
to offer, therefore offering their customer base a larger range of products.  
GFNYI is engaged in underwriting and funding mortgages in western New York 
State.  GFNYI typically resells residential mortgages to entities, which 
service the loans.  The Bank will remain the principal source of the 
Corporation's operating revenue and net income. 

The Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Company

     The Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Company ("Bank") was incorporated 
under the laws of The United States of America as a national bank in 1887.  
Since that time, Bank has operated as a national banking association doing 
business at several locations in Ontario County and at its Branch locations in 
the town of Mendon and Village of Pittsford in Monroe County, New York.

     As of December 31, 1996, Bank had total assets of approximately 
$360,623,000; total stockholders' equity of approximately $39,119,000; and 
total deposits of approximately $307,966,000.  Its deposits are insured through 
the Bank Insurance Fund by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

     Bank engages in a full service commercial and consumer banking and trust 
business.  Bank, with its main office at 72 South Main Street, Canandaigua, New
York, provides services to its customers through its network of ten branches 
which include drive-in facilities and customer Bank communication terminals.  
Bank's full service offices are located in Ontario County and in the town of 
Mendon and Village of Pittsford in Monroe County, New York.

     Bank's services include accepting time, demand and savings deposits, NOW 
accounts, regular savings accounts, money market certificates, investment 
certificates, fixed rate certificates of deposit and club accounts.  Its 
services also include making secured and unsecured commercial and consumer 
loans, financing commercial transactions either directly or through regional 
industrial development corporations, making construction and mortgage loans 
and the renting of safe deposit facilities. Additional services include 
making residential mortgage loans, revolving credit loans with overdraft 
checking protection, small business loans, and student loans.  Bank's 
business loans include seasonal, credit, collateral, and term loans.  Trust 
services provided by Bank include services as executor and trustee under 
<PAGE>

Item 1.  Business

The Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Company - continued

wills and deeds, as guardian and custodian and as trustee and agent for 
pension, profit sharing, individual retirement account and other employee 
benefit trusts as well as various investment, pension and estate planning 
services.  Trust services also include service as transfer agent and registrar 
of Canandaigua National Corporation stock and as paying agent for various bond 
issues and as escrow agent.  In 1995 the Bank formed a subsidiary (CNB 
Operating Subsidiary No.1, Inc.).  The primary business of this company is to 
sell life insurance to individuals.  This company is an agency only.  During 
1996 the Bank purchased the Burlingham Agency, Inc.  The primary business of 
this company is to sell life insurance to individuals.  This company is an 
agency only.  The Bank purchased Burlingham Agency to gain access to an already 
established business with a customer base.  By this purchase the Bank can offer 
a full line of products. 

    Bank has a relatively stable deposit base and no material amount of 
deposits are obtained from a single depositor or group of depositors (including 
federal, state and local governments).  Bank has not experienced any 
significant seasonal fluctuations in the amount of its deposits nor does Bank 
rely on foreign sources of funds or income.

Territory Served and Competition

    All phases of Bank's business are highly competitive.  Bank's market area 
is generally Ontario County, with concentration in the Canandaigua, New York 
area.  Bank competes with local commercial banks as well as other commercial 
banks with branches in Bank's market area as well as federal savings and loan 
associations and non-bank banks and credit unions.  Bank considers its 
competition to be Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., Key Bank, National Bank of 
Geneva, Community Bank, N.A., and WCTA Federal Credit Union located in 
Canandaigua, New York and Sears Financial Network Center and Fleet Bank, 
located in Rochester, New York.

   Bank, along with other commercial banks, competes with respect to its 
lending activities as well as in attracting demand deposits, with savings 
banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, regulated small loan 
companies, non-bank banks and credit unions.   Bank also competes with 
insurance companies, investment counseling firms, mutual funds and other 
business firms and individuals in corporate trust and investment management 
services.

    Bank is generally competitive with all financial institutions in its 
service area with respect to interest rates paid on time and savings deposits 
and interest rates charged on loans and service charges on deposit accounts.  
Bank employed 204 people as of December 31, 1996.

Supervision and Regulation

    Canandaigua National Corporation is incorporated under the laws of the 
State of New York and is directly supervised by the Federal Reserve Bank under 
the laws governing one-bank holding companies.  In addition, the Corporation 
reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the laws governing 
corporations with registered securities.

     As a national bank and member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is 
subject to regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of 
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  As an insured bank under the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Act, Bank is also regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation.  Representatives of the Comptroller of the Currency regularly 
conduct examinations of Bank's affairs and records, and Bank must furnish 
quarterly reports to the Comptroller.

Government Monetary Policies and Economic Controls

     The earnings of Bank are affected by the policies of regulatory 
authorities including the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors 
of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  
An important function of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate the money 
supply and interest rates.  Among the instruments used to implement these 
objectives are open market operations in U.S. Government Securities, changes in 
reserve requirements against member bank deposits, and changes in the federal 
discount rate.  These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence 
overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and 
their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.

    The policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board have had, and 
will probably continue to have, a significant effect on Bank's deposits, loans 
and investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned and paid, and are 
expected to affect Bank's operations in the future.  The effect of such 
policies and regulations, if any, upon the future business and earnings of Bank 
cannot accurately be predicted.

Note: Volume changes are computed by multiplying the volume difference by 
      the prior year's rate.  Rate changes are computed by multiplying the rate
      difference by the prior year's balance.
 
     The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to 
     rate and volume changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute 
     dollar amounts of the change in each.

With a floating or adjustable rate                                  $ 8,506

The maturities set forth above are based upon contracted maturities.  Demand 
loans, overdrafts and certain time loans, the principal of which will be 
renewed in whole or in part, are included in the "Within One Year"
classification.  The loan policy encourages a repayment schedule to be set
up whenever possible.
<PAGE>


B.  Maturities and Sensitivities of Loans to Changes 
    In Interest Rates - continued

Bank policy provides that a demand loan should not be renewed more than
once, with renewals at the then prevailing interest rates and with the
assurance the borrower demonstrates the ability to repay on maturity of the
loan.

The Bank provides standby letters of credit commitments which also provide
for availability of funds over a period of generally one year.  All such
commitments have fixed expiration dates and may require the payment of a
fee.

The Bank extends lines of credit under which a customer may borrow for
various purposes such as letters of credit.  The extension of these
commitments and lines of credit have been in the normal course of business.
In the opinion of Management, at December 31, 1996, there are no material 
commitments to extend credit which represent unusual risks.

</TABLE>

     The accrual of interest on commercial and real estate loans is 
discontinued when the loans become 90 days delinquent or when, in management's 
judgment, the collection of principal and interest is uncertain.  Recognition 
of interest income on non-accrual loans does not resume until management 
considers principal and interest collectible.  Installment loans are generally 
charged off upon becoming 120 days past due.

     Additional gross income of $841,000, $739,000, and $496,000 would have 
been reported during 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively, if the loans reported 
above as non-accrual and restructured loans had been current in accordance with 
the original terms.  

(2)  Potential Problem Loans

Loans which are not disclosed pursuant to Item III C. (1), but where known
information about credit problems of borrowers causes Management to have
serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present
loan repayment terms which may result in disclosure in Item III C. (1) above 
amounted to $325,071 as of December 31, 1995.  There were no potential problem 
loans as of December 31, 1996.

The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on an analysis of 
the loan portfolio and reflects an amount which, in management's judgment, is 
adequate to provide for loan losses.  This analysis is based on management's 
periodic evaluation, which considers factors such as past loss experience, 
identification of adverse conditions that may affect a borrower's ability to 
repay, an assessment of current and expected economic conditions and the 
estimated value of any underlying collateral.  The allowance for loan losses is 
applicable for any loan losses despite the allocation provided above.  In 
addition, future allocations may change due to circumstances inherent in the 
loan portfolio

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial           
         Condition and Results of Operations    

     The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about 
Canandaigua National Corporation's financial condition and results of 
operations which is not otherwise apparent from the consolidated financial

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

     Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash 
to meet the demand for cash from depositors who wish to withdraw funds, 
borrowers who require funds to meet their credit needs, and the need for 
operating funds and capital expansion.

     Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net 
interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income 
through periods of changing interest rates.  Thus liquidity and interest rate 
sensitivity must be jointly managed through asset/liability policy to provide 
optimum results for the Corporation.

     Asset liquidity is found in cash, federal funds sold, deposits with other 
financial institutions, short term security holdings, and loan repayments.  On 
average for 1996, federal funds sold, cash and due from banks, and interest 
bearing deposits with other banks totaled $22.2 million.  The securities 
portfolio is also an important source of liquidity.  As of December 31, 1996, 
approximately $29.9 million amortized cost of the portfolio will be mature in 
one year or less.  Combining these two major sources of liquidity, the 
Corporation had $52.1 million of readily available assets, which is 15.6% of 
average assets for 1996.  Management believes that liquidity needs are 
adequately addressed, but also has short term and long term borrowings 
available from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank.

     Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest earning 
assets and interest bearing liabilities.  In general, short term interest 
sensitive assets, such as loans tied to the prime rate, will have greater 
sensitivity than fixed rate home mortgages or securities due in over one year. 
 Similarly, money market and passbook savings accounts have more sensitivity 
than certificates of deposit maturing after one year.  The Corporation has 
chosen to limit both its asset and liability exposure in longer term time 
frames so as to avoid large mismatches of assets and liabilities that could 
cause large earnings swings.

     During 1996, increased consumer lending which was not supported by deposit 
growth but by short-term borrowings led to a decline in the Rate Sensitive 
Assets/Rate Sensitive Liabilities equation. The Corporation believes this 
mismatch will continue for sometime and is aware of its challenge to interest 
rate risk.

<PAGE>

     The chart indicates that the Corporation was repricing $101.6 million more 
of interest earning liabilities than interest bearing assets in the 0-3 month 
range.  This gap is not considered to be a problem, as a good portion of the 
savings balances are not considered sensitive to rate change.  However, the 
Corporation will be challenged in a rising interest rate environment to 
maintain its interest margins.  For the 4-12 month period, the Corporation is 
modestly liability sensitive, as $6.0 million more of interest bearing 
liabilities are being repriced than interest earning assets.  For the entire 
one year range, the Corporation is repricing $107.6 million more interest 
bearing liabilities than assets, or 32.68% of earning assets.  This liability 
sensitivity has increased from $58.3 million and 20.21% of earning assets last 
year.  The imbalance was due to the increase in short-term certificates of 
deposit and short-term borrowings to fund loans with a longer maturity.  The 
Corporation is asset sensitive at $117.4 million for the one to five year 
range, as interest earning assets increased $33.4 million from last year's 
amounts, along with an interest bearing liabilities increase of $.6 million.

     For the entire portfolio range, the Corporation is asset sensitive at 
$68.0 million versus asset sensitivity of $61.3 million last year.  With 
interest rate forecasts continuing to suggest declines, our earnings should be 
favorably impacted if we can continue to cut liability rates at the same pace 
as earning assets.  We will have some difficulty, however, as short term 
liability rates are at or near historic lows.  Continued declines could lead to 
deposit outflows, as investors seek higher returns in other available products. 
We may have to limit our liability rate decreases in order to continue to fund 
the bank, and that may have a slightly negative impact on historic spreads.  
Hopefully increasing lending will offset some of the decline.

Capital Resources
     Total Stockholders' equity at December 31, 1996, was $39,119,000, 
representing an increase of $1,722,000 (or 4.6%) over 1995.  Primary capital, 
defined as shareholders equity plus loan loss reserve, was $41,794,000 at 
December 31, 1996, or 11.59% of average assets versus $39,655,000 or 12.50% of 
average assets at December 31, 1995.

     The Federal Reserve Board standards require banks and bank holding 
companies to maintain capital based on "risk adjusted" assets so that 
categories of assets with potentially higher credit risk will require more 
capital backing than assets with lower risk.  In addition, banks and bank 
holding companies are required to maintain capital to support, on a risk-
adjusted basis, certain off balance sheet activities such as loan commitments 
and interest rate swaps.  Capital is classified into two tiers.  Tier 1 capital 
consists of common shareholders' equity, non-cumulative and cumulative 
perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests less goodwill and less net 
unrealized gain on securities available for sale.  Tier 2 capital consists of 
allowances for loan and lease losses, hybrid capital instruments, term 
subordinated debt, and intermediate-term preferred stock.  All banks are 
required to meet a minimum ratio of 8% of qualifying total capital to risk 
adjusted total assets with at least 4% Tier 1 capital.

Leverage Ratio                     11.11%               10.48%
</TABLE>
     As shown in the table, the Corporation's Tier 1 Risk Based Capital has 
grown 4.6%, and Total Risk Based Capital has increased 5.4% from year end 1995 
levels.

     The leverage ratio (Tier 1 Capital divided by total assets less goodwill) 
must be at least 3%.  The Corporation's leverage ratio was 11.11% as of 
December 31, 1996.

     The capital ratios of the Corporation are strongly in excess of minimum 
regulatory requirements, indicating an ability to meet customer demand and 
market competition, while providing sufficient earnings to strengthen the 
capital base annually.  The Corporation believes that its strong capital base 
will allow it to continue a reasonable dividend payment.

Dividends
     Payments of dividends by the Bank to the Company is limited or restricted 
in certain circumstances.  According to federal banking law, the approval of 
the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required for the declaration 
of dividends in any year which dividends exceed the total of net income for 
that year plus retained income for the preceding two years.  At December 31, 
1996, approximately $7,094,000 was available for payment of dividends to the 
Company.

     Cash dividends for 1996 amounted to $1,414,000, an increase of $287,000 or 
11.2% over the $1,127,000 paid in 1995.  Dividends paid were 48.0% and 28.8% of 
1996 and 1995 earnings respectively.

Results of Operations
     Net interest income is the difference between interest received from 
earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities.  It is 
affected by both the volume and rates applied to both earnings assets and 
liabilities, and therefore, is an effective measurement of how well management 
has balanced and reacted to the Corporation's interest rate sensitive assets 
and liabilities.
<PAGE>

     For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Corporation had $307.8 million 
average earning assets, up $12.5 million or 4.2% from the year earlier.  
Average interest bearing liabilities were $244.8 million for 1996, up $8.3 
million or 3.5% from 1995.  The increase in earning assets reflects the 
expansion of our indirect product into the Rochester, NY area.  Liability 
growth has begun, due to the Company borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank 
to fund the asset growth.  While being mindful of the Corporation's customers' 
needs, management was able to increase net interest income for 1996 to $16.7 
million, up from $16.0 million for 1995, reflecting an increase of 4.38% for 
1996.

     The yield on interest earning assets was 8.29% in 1996, down from 8.41% in 
1995.  Cost of funds decreased, to 3.59% from 3.72% in 1995.  Management 
continued to stress the cost and size control of liabilities during 1996, and 
therefore the net yield increased to 4.70% from 4.69% in 1995.  Net interest 
income as a percentage of earning assets (net interest rate margin) remained 
the same at 5.43%, as the $673,000 increase in net interest income was derived 
from successfully managing the changing interest rate environment during the 
year, in conjunction with the previously mentioned increase in total earning 
assets.  Management believes these results are an indication that its interest 
rate sensitivity planning is functioning well.

     The provision for loan losses in 1996 was $1,490,000, up $459,000 from 
1995.  The allowance for loan loss as of December 31, 1996 was $2.7 million, or 
1.03% of loans outstanding at year end 1996.  This ratio is slightly lower than 
that of 1995 (1.08%).  The cause for the decrease of this ratio is due to the 
large increase of the loan portfolio in 1996 of $47.5 million.  Also, charge-
offs rose to $1,637,000 in 1996 from $1,229,000 in 1995, recoveries of loans 
charged off increased to $564,000 in 1996 from $254,000 in 1995.  Management 
believes its ability to properly manage the loan portfolio and current loan 
loss policies are effective.

     The Corporation`s investment portfolio book value fell to $70.0 million at 
December 31, 1996 from $70.5 million at December 31, 1995, reflecting a 
decrease of .71%.

     Other income for 1996 increased to $3.9 million from $3.4 million, 
reflecting an increase of $521,000 or 15.4%.  Service charges on deposit 
accounts were up $57,000 to $1,661,000.  Other operating income for 1996 rose 
to $940,000 from $678,000 reflecting an increase of $262,000.  Strong demand 
for our trust services in our traditional markets as well as in our new 
Pittsford location led to an increase of Trust Income to $1,337,000 up from 
$1,071,000 in 1995.
<PAGE

     Operating expenses totaled $15.1 million, up 18.9% from $12.7 million in 
1995.  Salaries and employee benefits rose $1.4 million as the Corporation 
expanded several product areas and purchased two non-traditional financial 
service providers.  Other operating expenses rose $1 million due to increases 
in other real estate expenses and other costs associated with the growing loan 
portfolio.

     The rate of return on average assets (ROA) and the rate of return on 
average equity are a good measure of the Corporation's results.  For the year 
1996, return on average assets dropped from 1.26% to .84%.  Return on average 
equity was 7.9% in 1996 compared to 10.88% in 1995.  The decline in ROA was a 
result of increase in staff which was required for our expansion into new 
geographic areas as well as new business ventures.  The decline in return on 
equity is due to the decrease in earnings as well as the rapid growth of the 
Corporation's capital.  Management believes the Corporation remains quite 
healthy.

Accounting Standards

In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of 
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.  SFAS No. 125 is effective 
for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of 
liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996 and is to be applied 
prospectively.  This Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for 
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities 
based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses 
on control.  It distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from 
transfers that are secured borrowings.  Management of the Company does not 
expect the adoption of SFAS No. 125 will have a material impact on the 
Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Item 11. Executive Compensation    

(a)  Cash Compensation    

The information required to be included herein regarding executive compensation 
pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K is included under the caption "Executive 
Compensation" in registrants definitive proxy statement on page 6 and is 
incorporated herein by reference.  

During the year ended December 31, 1996, officers of the Corporation did not 
receive any compensation from the Corporation for services rendered in such 
capacity.  All of the above compensation was paid by the Bank for services 
rendered in the course of their employment with the bank.    

(b)  Compensation Pursuant to Plans    

The Bank has a non-contributory, profit sharing plan covering substantially all 
full-time employees who have completed one year of service, subject to a 
minimum number of hours of service with the Bank.  Contributions to the profit 
sharing plan by the Bank are allocated among eligible participants in the 
proportion that each participant's "points" for the calendar year bear to the 
total "points" awarded for the calendar year.  Participants are awarded one 
point for each full calendar year of employment and one point for each $100 of 
compensation paid such participant during that year.  Voluntary contributions 
may be made and invested in a separate "Voluntary  Account" in which the 
participant is always fully vested.  Participants become fully-vested with non-
contributory allocations upon:  reaching the  age of 65, disability, death, or 
7 years of service as defined by the plan. If employment is otherwise 
terminated, partial vesting will be accorded depending upon the participant's 
years of service.  Retirement and death benefits may be distributed in a cash 
lump sum or a series of equal installments, payable at least annually, over a 
period selected by the Profit Sharing Plan Committee.  The amounts contributed 
to the profit sharing plan by the Bank in 1996, 1995, and 1994 were $658,000, 
$639,000, and $641,000 respectively.    

The Corporation has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for employees of 
its wholly-owned subsidiary, and executive officers are members of the plan. 
Contributions to the ESOP are allocated among eligible participants in the 
proportion that each participant's gross compensation bears to total 
compensation of all participants.  Contributions to the plan for 1996, 1995, 
and 1994 were $52,000, $46,000, and $33,900 respectively.  
<PAGE>

The Corporation has an incentive stock plan for senior management of the 
Corporation. Annual contributions are made based on performance factors 
established by the board of directors.  The Corporation has accrued a liability 
of $849,000 as of December 31, 1996 representing its obligation under the plan. 
Expenses of the plan amounted to $371,000, $155,000, and  $115,000 for the 
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and were paid by the Bank.

The following table sets forth the amount of profit sharing benefits set aside 
or accrued by the Bank, directly or indirectly, under the Profit Sharing Plan

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Canandaigua National Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Canandaigua 
National Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the 
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows 
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996.  These 
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's 
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 
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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Canandaigua 
National Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the 
results of their operations and their cash flows for  each of the years in the 
three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

          CANANDAIGUA NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                 December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

Note1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  Business

  Canandaigua National Corporation (the Company) provides a full range of 
banking and trust services to individual and corporate customers.  The Company 
is subject to competition from other financial institutions.  The Company is 
subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic 
examinations by those regulatory authorities.

  Basis of Presentation

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 
its wholly owned subsidiaries, The Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Company 
(the Bank)and Greater Funding of New York, Inc. (GFNYI).  All significant 
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles and conform with predominant practices within 
the banking industry.

  In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management made estimates 
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Amounts in prior years' consolidated financial statements are reclassified 
whenever necessary to conform with the current year's presentation.  The 
following is a description of the Company's more significant accounting 
policies.

  Securities

  The Company classifies its debt securities as either available for sale or 
held to maturity as the Company does not hold any securities considered to be 
trading.  Held to maturity securities are those that the Company has the 
ability 
and intent to hold until maturity.  All other securities not included as held 
to 
maturity are classified as available for sale.

  Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value.  Held to maturity 
securities are recorded at amortized cost.  Unrealized holding gains and 
losses, net of the related tax effect, on available for sale securities are 
excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of 
stockholders' equity until realized. 

  A decline in fair value of any available for sale or held to maturity 
security 
below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting 
in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

  Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related 
held to maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective 
interest 
method.  Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.  Realized 
gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific 
identification method.

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Loans

  Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding.  Interest on loans is 
credited to income based on the level-yield method.

  The accrual of interest on commercial and real estate loans is discontinued 
and previously accrued interest is reversed when the loans become 90 days 
delinquent or when, in management's judgment, the collection of principal and 
interest is uncertain.  Recognition of interest income on nonaccrual loans does 
not resume until management considers principal and interest collectible.  
Installment loans are generally charged off upon becoming 120 days past due.

  Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value on an 
aggregate basis.  Market value is estimated based on outstanding investor 
commitments, or in the absence of such commitments, based on current yield 
requirements or quoted market prices.

  The Company services residential mortgage loans for the Federal Home Loan 
Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and earns servicing fees, which are 
recognized when payments are received, based upon the outstanding principal 
balance of the loans.  The cost of originating these loans is attributed to the 
loans and is considered in the calculation of the gain or loss on the sale of 
the loans.  Due to immateriality the right to service the loans is assigned no 
financial statement value. 

Allowance for Loan Losses

  The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on an analysis of 
the loan portfolios and reflects an amount which, in management's judgment, is 
adequate to provide for loan losses.  This analysis is based on management's 
periodic evaluation, which considers factors such as past loss experience, 
identification of adverse conditions that may affect a borrower's ability to 
repay, an assessment of current and expected economic conditions and the 
estimated value of any underlying collateral.

  While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, 
future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in 
economic 
conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of 
their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowances for 
loan 
losses.  Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to 
allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the 
time of their examination.

  Management, considering current information and events regarding the 
borrowers' ability to repay their obligations, considers a loan to be impaired 
when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due 
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  When a loan is 
considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on 
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's 
effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable 
market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral 
dependent.  Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses 
through a charge to the provision for loan losses.  Cash receipts on impaired 
loans are applied to reduce the principal balance outstanding and accrued but 
unpaid interest.  In considering loans for evaluation of impairment, management 
generally excludes smaller balance, homogeneous loans -- residential mortgage 
loans, home equity loans, and all consumer loans.  These loans are collectively 
evaluated form impairment as discussed above.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Premises and Equipment

  Land is carried at cost.  Buildings, equipment and leasehold improvements are 
carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation 
is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated 
useful lives of the assets, 3-25 years.  Amortization of leasehold improvements 
is provided over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful 
lives of the assets.

Intangible Asset

Insurance expirations (customer list) acquired through acquisition in 1996, 
amounting to $293,000 at December 31, 1996, are amortized over five years, the 
expected period over which commission income will be received. 

Income Taxes

  The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax 
return.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the 
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial 
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their 
respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using 
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which 
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The 
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is 
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Trust Department Income

  Assets held in fiduciary or agency capacity for customers are not included in 
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, since such assets are not assets 
of the Company.  Fee income is recognized on the accrual method.

Other Real Estate

  Real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is 
recorded at the lower of the unpaid loan balance on the property at the date of 
transfer, or fair value.  Adjustments made to the value at transfer are charged 
to the allowance for loan losses.  After transfer, the property is carried at 
the lower of cost or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.  
Adjustments to the carrying values of such properties that result from 
subsequent declines in value are charged to operations in the period in which 
the declines occur.  Operating costs associated with the properties are charged 
to expense as incurred.  Gains on the sale of other real estate are included in 
results of operations  when title has passed and the sale has met the minimum 
down payment and other requirements prescribed by generally accepted accounting 
principles.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash Equivalents

  For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include 
cash on hand, interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions and 
federal funds sold.

Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

  The Company does not engage in the use of derivative financial instruments.
The Company's only financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk are 
commercial letters of credit and committed lines of credit.  These off-balance-
sheet items are shown in the Company's balance sheet upon funding.


Per Share Data 

  Net income per common share is based upon the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding during the year.  There were no common stock 
equivalents outstanding during the years presented which would result in 
dilution of net income per share.  The weighted average number of common 
shares outstanding for each of the years in the three-year period ended 
December 
31, 1996 are as follows: 1996 - 161,855; 1995 - 161,068 and 1993 - 160,902.  
Primary and fully diluted net income per share are the same for 1996, 1995 and 
1994.

Note 2  Acquisitions

  In April, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Greater 
Funding of New York, Inc. (GFNYI) for a cash price of $102,000.  Up to that 
date, the Company had owned 33% of GFNYI.  GFNYI is a mortgage banking company. 
 Also in April, 1996, the Bank acquired the Burlingham Agency (BA), a life 
insurance agency for 1,053 shares of the Company's common stock valued at 
$338,000.  The GFNYI and BA acquisitions were recorded under the purchase 
method of accounting; and acccordingly, the results of operations of GFNYI and 
BA for the period from their April acquisition are included in the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements.  The purchase prices have been allocated to 
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair market value at the dates 
of acquisition. 

Unaudited pro-forma earnings per share for the Company giving effect to the 
GFNYI and BA acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 1995 are $18.02 
and $23.86 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.  These pro-forma results have been 
prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of 
the results of operations which actually would have resulted had the 
acquisitions occurred on the date indicated, or which may result in the future. 

Note 3 Federal Funds Sold

  Income from federal funds sold for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 
and 
1994 was $374,000, $692,000 and $554,000, respectively.

      Net deferred tax asset                                $ 863    429

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future 
taxable income or the existence of sufficient taxable income within the 
carryback period.  A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely 
than 
not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  In 
assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers the 
scheduled 
reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the level of historical taxable income 
and 
projected future taxable income over the periods which the temporary 
differences 
comprising the deferred tax assets are deductible.  Based on its assessment, 
management determined that a valuation allowance of $12,000 against its 
subsidiary's state Net Operating Loss (NOL) was necessary.  As of December 31, 
1996 there were approximately $111,000 of mortgage tax credits available to 
offset future state tax liabilities of GFNYI.  The Company acquired a deferred 
tax asset of $112,000 from its acquisition of Greater Funding of New York, Inc. 

Note 10 Stockholders' Equity

Payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is limited or restricted in 
certain circumstances.  According to federal banking law, the approval of the 
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required for the declaration of 
dividends in any year which dividends exceed the total of net income for that 
year plus retained income for the preceding two years.  At December 31, 1996, 
approximately $7,094,000 was available for payment of dividends to the Company.

Note 11  Employee Benefits

Profit Sharing Plan

The Company has a profit sharing plan covering all employees upon completion 
of 1,000 hours of service with respect to salaried employees, and 870 hours of 
service for employees paid on an hourly basis.  Contributions to the plan are 
determined by a mathematical formula which takes into account average net 
income 
of the Bank for the current and prior year, and the level of the Bank's 
stockholders' equity.  It is the Company's policy to fund current costs as they 
accrue.  Profit sharing plan expense amounted to $658,000, $639,000 and  
$641,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

  The Company has an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for employees of the 
Company.  Annual contributions are made at the discretion of the board of 
directors.  ESOP expense amounted to $52,000, $46,000, and $33,900 for the 
years 
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Note 12  Incentive Stock Plan

  The Company has an incentive stock plan for senior management of the Company.
Annual expense is based on performance factors established by the board of 
directors and is generally tied to increases in the Company's common stock 
price.  Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its plans in 
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principals Board ("APB") Opinion 
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. 
 As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if 
the
current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price.  
Compensation cost is recognized annually to the extent the Company's stock 
increases in value.  On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation, which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting 
period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant.  
Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the 
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma 
earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 
and future years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had 
been applied.  The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of 
APB Opinion No. 25.  There is no difference betweeen the Company's previous 
method of accounting for its incentive stock plans and the provision of SFAS 
No. 123, therefore no pro forma information is provided.  The Company has 
accrued a liability of $849,000 as of December 31, 1996 representing its 
obligation under the plans.  Expenses of the plans amounted to $371,000, 
$155,000, and $115,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, 
respectively.


Note 13 Leases

The Company leases certain buildings and office space under operating lease 
arrangements.  Rent expense under these arrangements amounted to $386,000 in 
1996, $192,000 in 1995 and $118,000 in 1994.  Included in rent for 1996 is 
$145,000 for the buyout of a lease commitment by Greater Funding of New York, 
Inc.  Real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses 
associated with the buildings and office space are generally paid by the 
Company.

Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business there are various outstanding commitments to 
extend credit which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated 
financial 
statements.  Because many commitments and almost all letters of credit expire 
without being funded in whole or in part, the contract amounts are not 
estimates 
of future cash flows.  Loan  commitments have off-balance sheet credit risk 
because only origination fees are recognized in the balance sheet until 
commitments are fulfilled or expire.  The credit risk amounts are equal to the 
contractual amounts, assuming that the amounts are fully advanced and 
collateral 
or other security is of no value.  The Company's policy generally requires 
customers to provide collateral, usually in the form of customers' operating 
assets or property, prior to the disbursement of approved loans.  The contract 
amounts of these commitments at December 31, 1996 are:  Commercial letters of 
credit $1,839,000 and unused commitments $26,642,000.  The contract amounts of 
these commitments at December 31, 1995 were:  Commercial letters of credit 
$2,727,000 and unused commitments $22,179,000.  The majority of these 
commitments have terms up to one year at fixed interest rates current at the 
date of origination.  Commitments to fund residential mortgage loans amounted 
to $424,000 at December 31. 1996. 

The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal 
Reserve Bank.  The average amount of such reserve balances for the year ended 
December 31, 1996 was approximately $3,847,000.


In the normal course of business, the Company has various contingent 
liabilities 
outstanding that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. 
Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these 
contingent liabilities.

Note 15  Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by 
the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can 
initiate certain mandatory -- and possibly additional discretionary -- actions 
by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the 
Bank's financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the 
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific 
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, 
liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory 
accounting practices.  The Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also 
subject ot qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk 
weighings, and other factors. 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy 
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (as set forth in the 
table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to 
risk-weighed assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average 
assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the 
Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. 

As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Office of the 
Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the 
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well-
capitalized, the Bank must maintain a minumum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-
based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no 
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have 
changed the Bank's category.

Note 16 Loans to Directors and Officers

Certain executive officers, directors and their business interests are 
customers of the Bank.  Transactions with these parties are based on 
substantially the same terms as similar transactions with others and do not 
carry  more than normal credit risk.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, loans to 
these related parties amounted to $5,885,000 and $1,208,000, respectively.

Note 18 Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of 
each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For these short-term instruments that generally mature 90 days or less, the 
carrying value approximates fair value.

Securities

Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, 
where available.  Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are 
based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans Receivable

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial 
characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type such as loans adjustable by 
prime, commercial, mortgages, installment, and other consumer.  Each loan 
category is further segmented into categories based on collateral, for purpose 
of the calculations.

The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash 
flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that 
reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan category.  The 
estimate of maturity is based on the average maturity for each loan 
classification.

Delinquent loans (not in foreclosure) are valued using the method noted above. 
 
While credit risk is a component of the discount rate used to value loans, 
delinquent loans are presumed to possess additional risk.  Therefore, the 
calculated fair value of loans delinquent more than 30 days but less than 91 
days delinquent, are reduced by an allocated amount of the allowance for loan 
losses.  The fair value of loans currently in foreclosure is estimated to 
approximate carrying value, as such loans are generally carried at fair value.

FHLB Stock and Federal Reserve Bank Stock

The carrying value of these instruments, which is redeemable at par, 
approximates fair value.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

For these short-term instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market 
accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value 
of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash 
flow approach that applies current market rates (prevailing CD rates) to a 
schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Note 18 Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

Borrowing from FHLB:

The fair value of borrowing is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows 
through the estimated maturity using market rates presently available for new 
borrowings.

(1)Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant 
market information and  information about the financial instrument.  These 
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of 
significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  
Changes 
in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value of commitments to extend credit approximates the fee charged to make

ELECTION OF OFFICERS

  The number of Directors to be elected at the 1997 Annual Meeting is three.  
Directors are elected annually by the stockholders to hold office for three 
years and until their successors are elected and qualified.  Management has 
nominated as Directors, and recommends the election of the three persons listed 
below.  Nominees George W. Hamlin, IV and Caroline C. Shipley are members of 
the present Board and were elected by the stockholders of the Corporation at 
the Annual Meeting held in 1984.  Nominee David Hamlin, Jr. is also a member of 
the present Board and was elected by the stockholders of the Corporation at the 
Annual Meeting held in 1993.  Each nominee has consented to be named in this 
Proxy Statement and to serve if elected.  If at the time of the Annual Meeting 
any of them becomes unavailable for election, the proxies may exercise 
discretionary authority to vote for substitutes proposed by the Board of 
Directors.  Management has no reason to believe that any substitute nominees 
will be required.

  The Examining Committee consists of  five (5) Directors who are not employees 
of the subsidiary bank and who are appointed annually by the Board of 
Directors.  Members of the Committee are:

     Caroline C. Shipley                     Frank H. Hamlin
     Stephen D. Hamlin                       Patricia A. Boland
     Paul R. Kellogg
<PAGE>

  The Examining Committee met six (5) times during 1996 to supervise the 
internal audit activities of the Bank.  The function of the Committee is to 
make or cause to be made suitable examinations every year and to insure that 
the Bank's activities are being conducted in accordance with the law and the 
banking rules and regulations established by the Comptroller of the Currency, 
other regulatory  and supervisory authorities, and in conformance with 
established policy.  In addition, the Examining Committee recommends to the 
Board of Directors the services of a reputable independent certified public 
accounting firm, and the Board of Directors then appoints the independent 
certified public accounting firm at the annual organizational meeting of 
Directors.  The Committee receives and reviews the reports of the independent 
certified public accounting firm and presents them to the Board of Directors 
with comments and recommendations.  At least once during each twelve-month 
period, this Committee makes audits of the Trust Department or causes audits to 
be made and ascertains whether an adequate review of all the assets in each 
trust has been made.

  The Officers' Compensation Committee consists of three (3) Directors who are 
not employees of the subsidiary bank and who are appointed by the Board of 
Directors each year.  Members of the Committee are as follows:
     Daniel P. Fuller             Alan J. Stone         Caroline C. Shipley

  The Officers' Compensation Committee met three (7) times during 1996 to 
perform annual reviews of officers' performance.  Based on the Committee's 
reviews, recommendations on officers' titles and salaries for the upcoming year 
are made to the Board of Directors for approval.

  The Corporation has no Nominating Committee or other committee performing a 
similar function, but the Board of Directors does consider persons suggested as 
candidates for election as Corporate Directors.  In this connection, the Board 
will consider recommendations submitted by stockholders.  Any stockholder  
wishing to make such a recommendations should submit it to the Secretary of the 
Corporation.  Notice of intention to make any nominations or other proposals, 
other than by the Board of Directors, must be made in writing and must be 
received by the Secretary of the Corporation no less than twenty (20) days 
prior to any meeting of stockholders called for the election of Directors.  
Such notification should contain the following information to the extent known 
to the notifying stockholder:  (a) the name and address of each proposed 
nominee; (b) the principal occupation of each proposed nominee; (c) the total 
number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that will be voted for 
each proposed nominee; (d) the number of shares of common stock of the 
Corporation owned by the notifying stockholder.

  The Board of Directors of the Corporation held twelve (12) regular meetings 
during 1996.  No incumbent Director of the Bank or of the Corporation attended 
fewer than 75% of the aggregate of all the meetings of the Board of Directors 
and the Committees of which they were members.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS (SAR)
PHANTOM STOCK AWARDS (PSA)

  The table set forth below lists the value of the Stock Appreciation Rights 
and Phantom Stock Awards as of the date of award using the highest of three 
different estimates of value: (1) the book value of the Corporation, (2) the 
appraised value of the stock using a third-party appraisal of the Corporation's 
stock prepared for the Corporation's Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and (3) the 
price at which the Corporation's stock was bought and sold in private 
transactions for which the Corporation has information during the calendar 
quarter in which the award was made.  The Corporation does not have pricing 
information regarding all private purchases and sales of the Corporation's 
stock, and the shares of the Corporation are not listed on any national 
exchange nor traded over the counter.  The Stock Appreciation Rights and 
Phantom Stock 
<PAGE>

Awards are perpetual.  Stock Appreciation Rights are exercisable after five 
years from the date of award.  Phantom Stock Awards are exercisable by a 
recipient upon reaching the age of 55 or upon attaining 15 years of continuous 
full-time employment with the company.  Amounts set forth in the table are 
adjusted for a two-for-one stock split approved by the stockholders in 1993

  No Stock Appreciation Rights or Phantom Stock Awards were exercised during 
1996.

  Compensation for the executive officer for whom disclosure is required by 
Item 402 of Regulation S-K is determined by the Officers' Compensation 
Committee consisting of Daniel P. Fuller, Caroline C. Shipley and Alan J. 
Stone.  The Committee's consideration consists of, but is not limited to, 
analysis of the following factors:  financial performance of the company, 
including Return on Equity, Return on Assets, growth of the company, and 
management of assets and liabilities.  All of these factors are considered in 
the context of the market for the company's products and services, and the 
complexity and difficulty of managing business risks in the prevailing economic 
conditions and regulatory environment.

  In addition, the Officers' Compensation Committee conducts a comparison study 
of the company's executive compensation with that of comparable positions in 
similar companies within the company's peer group.  The Committee also 
considers intangible factors such as the scope of responsibility of the 
executive, leadership within the company, the community and within the 
industry, and whether the company, under the executive's leadership, has been 
able to serve worthwhile public purposes while enhancing shareholder value.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

  The following performance graph is required to be set forth in the Proxy 
Statement by Item 402 (1) of Regulation S-K.  The theory incorporated into this 
requirement is that all corporations have organized orderly markets in which to 
exchange their securities. The graph is provided so that stockholders and 
prospective stockholders can compare market results with peer companies or with 
indexes of companies in similar businesses or having similar capitalization, 
e.g. those companies which are listed on the NASDAQ or NYSE.
<PAGE>


  THE CORPORATION'S COMMON STOCK IS NOT LISTED WITH A NATIONAL SECURITIES 
EXCHANGE, NOR IS IT TRADED IN THE OVER-THE-COUNTER MARKET.  THE CORPORATION'S 
COMMON STOCK IS NOT ACTIVELY TRADED; LESS THAN 1% OF THE CORPORATION'S 
OUTSTANDING SHARES HAVE BEEN BOUGHT AND SOLD IN ANY YEAR REPRESENTED IN THE 
GRAPH.  DUE TO THE EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBER OF TRANSACTIONS, THE AVERAGE SALE 
PRICE OF THE CORPORATION'S COMMON STOCK USED IN THE GRAPH MAY NOT BE INDICATIVE 
OF THE ACTUAL MARKET VALUE OF THE CORPORATION'S COMMON STOCK.  THE GRAPH SET 
FORTH BELOW DEPICTS THE AVERAGE SALE PRICE OF THE CORPORATION'S COMMON STOCK 
BASED ONLY UPON TRANSACTIONS FOR WHICH THE CORPORATION HAS PRICE INFORMATION.  
THERE ARE PURCHASES AND SALES OF THE CORPORATION'S COMMON STOCK FOR WHICH THE 
CORPORATION HAS NO PRICE INFORMATION; THEREFORE, THE ACTUAL AVERAGE SALE PRICE 
OF ALL SHARES BOUGHT AND SOLD IN ANY QUARTER MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN SET FORTH IN 
THE GRAPH.
