PART  I

Item  1.  Business

Canandaigua  National  Corporation

     The  Canandaigua National Corporation, referred to as The Corporation, is a
one-bank  holding  company  which  builds  lasting  customer  relationships  by
providing  comprehensive  financial  solutions  to individuals, be they building
families  or  businesses.  It  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. The Corporation acquired 100% of Home Town Funding, Inc. (HTF) during 1997.
HTF  offers  mortgage products that the bank is not licensed to offer, therefore
offering the Corporation's customers a larger range of products.  HTF is engaged
in  underwriting and funding mortgages in western New York State.  HTF typically
resells residential mortgages to unaffiliated entities, which service the loans.
On January 1, 1999 the Corporation merged the mortgage banking operations of HTF
and  Greater  Funding  of  New  York,  Inc  (GFNYI),  a mortgage banking company
acquired  in  1996.  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, the Bank has operated as a national banking association doing
business  at  its main office at 72 South Main Street, Canandaigua, New York and
several  locations  in Ontario County and at its Monroe County community banking
offices  in  Webster  (town  of  Penfield),  Mendon  and  Pittsford,  New  York.

     As  of  December  31,  1998,  Bank  had total assets of $422,783,000; total
capital  of  $36,870,000;  and total deposits of $376,635,000.  Its deposits are
insured  through  the  Bank  Insurance  Fund  by  the  Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.

     The  Bank  provides  a  full  range  of  financial  services to its retail,
commercial and municipal customers through a variety of deposit, lending, trust,
investment  and  insurance  products.  These products are delivered by employees
through  a  "life-stage"  marketing  concept,  whereby  customers'  needs  are
anticipated  and  evaluated  based  upon  their life stage (e.g. growing family,
retirement,  college  student,  etc.).  New  products  are developed around this
concept.  These  services  are  delivered  through  the Bank's network of eleven
community  banking  offices,  which  include  drive-up  facilities and automatic
teller  machines,  its  customer  call  center,  the  internet  and other remote
cash-dispensing machines.  The locations and staffing of the Bank's full service
offices  are  described  in  more  detail in Item 2 and on page 33 of the Annual
Report.

     The  Bank's  deposit  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.
The  Bank  also  provides its retail customers safe-keeping services through the
renting  of  safe  deposit  facilities.

     The Bank's lending services 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.  Other  services  include  making  residential  mortgage loans, revolving
credit  loans  with  overdraft  checking  protection,  small business loans, and
student  loans.  The Bank's business loans include seasonal, credit, collateral,
and  term  loans.


                                                            Page  4


Item  1.  Business

The  Canandaigua  National  Bank  and  Trust  Company  (continued)

     Trust and investment services provided by Bank include services as executor
and  trustee under 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.

     Since  the  formation  of  its  insurance  subsidiary  in 1995 and upon its
successful  lawsuit  against the New York State Superintendent of Insurance, the
Bank  has been offering a full line of auto, home and life insurance products to
its  customers  through  its  wholly owned subsidiaries CNB Operating Subsidiary
No.1,  Inc.  and  the  Burlingham  Agency.

      The  Bank  also  administers the assets of the Canandaigua Equity Fund and
the  Canandaigua  Bond  Fund.  [Shares  of  these funds are not bank deposits or
obligations  of,  or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank, and are not insured by
the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation,  the Federal Reserve Board or and
other  agency.]

The 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).  The  Bank  has not experienced any significant
seasonal
fluctuations  in  the  amount  of its deposits nor does the Bank rely on foreign
sources
of  funds  or  income.

Territory  Served

     The  Company's market area currently covers the western Ontario and eastern
Monroe  counties  of  New  York  State.  In  recent years the Bank expanded into
Monroe  County  by  opening  community banking offices in Pittsford and Webster.
Under  renovation are locations in Irondequoit and Greece and, in February 1999,
the  Company  installed  three  cash  dispensing  machines  in  the  Rochester
International  Airport.

Competition

     The  Company considers its business to be highly competitive in its service
areas.  The  Company competes with respect to its lending services as well as in
attracting  deposits,  with  commercial  banks,  savings banks, savings and loan
associations,  insurance  companies,  regulated  small  loan companies, non-bank
banks and credit unions and investment managers.  The Company also competes with
insurance  companies,  investment  counseling  firms,  mutual  funds  and  other
business  firms  and  individuals  in  corporate trust and investment management
services.

     The Company 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.

     One  measure  of competitive strength is the percentage of deposits held by
an  institutions  in  a  geographic  location.  Based  upon the most recent data
available from the FDIC as of June 30, 1998, the Company's share of deposits for
all  banks  was  35%  in  Ontario  County  and  less  than  1% in Monroe County.

Employees

     At  December 31, 1998, the Company had 292 employees of whom 81 worked on a
part-time  basis.  None  of the employees are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement.  The  Company  considers its relations with its employees to be good.

Item  1.  Business  (continued)

Supervision  and  Regulation

     Canandaigua  National  Corporation  is  incorporated  under the laws of the
State
of  New  York.  As  a  bank  holding company, the Company is subject to the Bank
Holding  Company  Act  of  1956, as amended (the "Act"), and is required to file
annual reports and such additional information as may be required by the Federal
Reserve  Board  (the  "FRB")  pursuant to the Act.  The FRB has the authority to
examine  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries.

     The  Act  and  regulations  thereunder  limit, with certain exceptions, the
business  which  a  bank  holding company  may engage in, directly or indirectly
through  subsidiaries, to  banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing or
performing  services  for banks controlled by the Company, and services incident
thereto.  In  addition,  the  Act  and  regulations thereunder require the prior
approval  of  the  FRB  for the acquisition of a bank or bank holding company if
thereafter  the  bank holding company will, directly or indirectly, control more
than  5%  of  the  voting  stock  of  such  bank  or  bank  holding  company, or
substantially  all  the  assets of such bank or bank holding company.  Among the
activities  permitted  bank  holding companies is the ownership of shares of any
company  which  engages  in  activities that the FRB determines to be so closely
related  to  banking,  managing, or controlling banks as to be a proper incident
thereto.  The FRB has determined a number of activities to be closely related to
banking,  and  has  proposed  others  for consideration. Such activities include
leasing  real  or  personal  property  under  certain conditions; operating as a
mortgage financing or factoring company; servicing loans and other extensions of
credit;  acting  as  a  fiduciary; acting as an investment  or financial advisor
under  certain conditions; acting as an insurance agent or broker principally in
connection  with  the  extension  of  credit  by the bank holding company or any
subsidiary;  acting as underwriter for credit life insurance and credit accident
and health insurance that is directly related to extension of credit by the bank
holding  company  or  any  subsidiary;  providing bookkeeping or data processing
services  for  the  bank  holding  company,  its  affiliates,  other  financial
institutions  and  others,  with  certain limitations; making certain equity and
debt  investments  in community rehabilitation and development corporations; and
providing  certain  kinds of management consulting advice to unaffiliated banks.

     The  Federal  Reserve  Act imposes  restrictions on extensions of credit by
subsidiary banks of a bank holding company to the bank holding company or any of
its subsidiaries, or investments in the stock or other securities of the holding
company,  and  on the use of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to
any  borrower.  Further, under the FRB's regulations, a bank holding company and
its  subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in
connection  with  any  extension  of  credit,  lease  or  sale  of  property, or
furnishing  of  services.

     From  time  to  time  the FRB may adopt further regulations pursuant to the
Act.  The Company cannot predict whether any further regulations will be adopted
or  how  such  regulations  will  affect  the  consolidated operating results or
business  of  the  Company.

     In  addition,  the  Corporation  reports  to  the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission  under  the  laws  governing corporations with registered securities.

     The  primary  supervisory  authority  of  the  Bank  is  the  Office of the
Comptroller  of  the  Currency (the " OCC"), which regularly examines aspects of
the  Bank's'  operations  such  as  risk  as  capital adequacy, reserves, loans,
investments,  management  practices,  and  other.  In  addition to these regular
examinations,  the  Bank  must  furnish quarterly and annual reports to the OCC.
The  OCC  has  the  authority to issue cease-and-desist orders to prevent a bank
from  engaging  in  an  unsafe  or  an  unsound practice or violating the law in
conducting  its  business.

Item  1.  Business

Supervision  and  Regulation  (continued)

     The  Bank  is  also a member of the Federal Reserve System, and as such, is
subject  to  certain laws and regulations administered  by the FRB.  As a member
of  the  Federal  Reserve  System, the Bank is required to maintain non-interest
bearing  reserves  against certain accounts.  The amount of reserves required to
be  maintained  is  established  by  regulations  of  the  FRB and is subject to
adjustment from time to time.  In President Clinton's fiscal 2000 budget, he has
proposed  that  the Federal Reserve pay interest on these currently non-interest
bearing  reserves.  The  outcome  of  this  proposal  cannot  be  determined  by
management.

     The  Bank's  deposits  are  insured by the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) of the
FDIC  up  to  a  maximum of $100,000 per insured deposit account, subject to the
rules  and  regulations  of  the  FDIC.  For  this  protection,  the Bank pays a
quarterly  statutory  assessment.

Government  Monetary  Policies  and  Economic  Controls

     The earnings of Company and 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.
     The  United  States  Congress  has  periodically  considered  and  adopted
legislation that has resulted in deregulation of  both banks and other financial
institutions.  Congress  has  adopted further legislation to modify or eliminate
geographic restrictions on banks and bank holding companies, and could modify or
eliminate current prohibitions against banks engaging in one or more non-banking
activities.  Such  legislative  changes  could  place  the  Bank  in more direct
competition with other financial institutions including mutual funds, securities
brokerage  firms,  insurance companies, and investment banking firms. The effect
of  any  such  legislation  on  the  business  of  the Bank cannot be predicted.

C.  Rate/Volume  Analysis

The  following  table sets forth the dollar and volume of increase (decrease) in
interest  income  and  interest  expense resulting from changes in the volume of
earning  assets  and  interest  bearing  liabilities, and from changes in rates.
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 dollar
amounts  of  the  change  in  each.

     The  maturities  set  forth  above  are  based upon contractual 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 Company's loan policy encourages a repayment schedule to be
established  whenever  possible.

     The  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.

III.  Loan  Portfolio  (continued)

     The  Company  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  Company  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, 1998, there are no material commitments to extend
credit  which  represent  unusual  risks.

III.  Loan  Portfolio  (continued)

     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.
Consumer  loans  are  generally  charged  off  upon  becoming 120 days past due.

     The  Company  earned interest on a cash basis of $281,000 in 1998, $259,000
in  1997  and  $149,000  in  1996  on non-performing loans.  Additional interest
income  of  $  239,000,  $636,000 and $841,000 would have been recognized during
1998,  1997,  and 1996, respectively, if the loans reported above as non-accrual
had  been  current  in  accordance  with  the  original  terms.

(2)  Potential  Problem  Loans

     Management  is  unaware of any potential problem loans ad December 31, 1998
which  are  not  already  disclosed  in  the  table  above.


IV.  Summary  of  Loan  Loss  Experience

A.  Analysis  of  Loss  Experience

     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 inherent in the portfolio. 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.

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 statements in the annual
report.  Reference should be made to those statements and the selected financial
data  presented  elsewhere  in this report for an understanding of the following
discussion  and  analysis.

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

Overview
- --------

     1998  proved  to be a year of transition for the Company.  During the first
and  into  the second quarters the Company completed the final steps of its core
banking  system  conversion.  These  final  steps  led to unbudgeted expenses in
excess  of  $.4  million.  However,  this  new  system  allowed  the  Company to
introduce  a number of new products to the marketplace, including it Generations
Gold(TM)  suite  of deposit accounts, a Business Sweep Account, and a new credit
card.  As  the  second  quarter began and interest rates continued to fall, (and
throughout  the remainder of the year,) the Company' mortgage banking operations
generated record origination volumes.  The fourth quarter began with the opening
of  the Webster Bank Office (the Company's third Monroe County branch) and ended
with the announcement of a local community bank competitor's announcement of its
acquisition by a regional bank.  This acquisition has caused the acceleration of
the  Company's  expansion  in the marketplace.  Already the Company has plans to
open  offices  in  the  Monroe  County  towns  of  Greece  and  Irondequoit.

     At  December  31,  1998 the Company's assets reached $428.0 million.  Total
assets  increased  $9.1  million or 2.2% for the year.  Net loans increased $2.5
million  or  .8%  while  securities  increased  $1.5  million  or  2.2%.  More
significantly,  deposits  increased $ 51.7 million or 15.9% and borrowings (from
the  FHLB)  decreased  $43.5  million or 85.9%.  Funds generated through deposit
inflows  were  used for loan originations, security purchases and FHLB borrowing
repayments.

     Net  income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $3.6 million, down $.1
million  or  4.0% from 1997.  Basic earnings per share decreased by $.84 or 3.6%
over  the  same  period.  The  decrease in net income for 1998 was a result of a
significant  legal  expense  reimbursement in 1997 relating one large credit and
one-time  charges  taken  in the first half of 1998 related to the completion of
the  Company's  core  banking system conversion. Also a portion of the increased
operating  expenses  was  derived  from  one  of  the Company's mortgage banking
subsidiaries,  which  was  not  acquired  until late 1997. For 1998 net interest
income  increased  only  $.2  million  or  1.2%  due  to  a  lower interest rate
environment  than  in  1997.

     The  quality  of  the Company's assets continued to improve throughout 1998
with  non-performing  loans at December 31, 1998 at less than 1% of total loans;
the  first  time in over 5 years.  The allowance for loan losses stood at 131.6%
of non-performing loans at year-end 1998 versus 61.3% at December 31, 1997. As a
result  of  these  trends the provision for loan loss declined to $.6 versus $.9
for  the years then ended.  Other real estate owned also declined in 1998 as the
Company  liquidated  approximately  $1.2  million  during  the  year.

Financial  Condition
- --------------------

     As  of  December 31, 1998, total assets of the Company were $428.0 million,
up  from  $418.9  million  at year end 1997. Cash and equivalents increased $4.6
million  to  $23.9  million  in connection with the growth in customer deposits.
     Securities  showed  an  increase  of  $1.5  million  to  $72.9 million. The
Company's securities, with the exception of a minor amount of equity securities,
are  held  to  maturity.  The portfolio is comprised mainly of US Treasuries and
Agencies  and  tax-exempt  obligations  of  state  and  local  subdivisions.
Approximately  90%  of  the  portfolio  is  pledged  to federal agencies and for
municipal deposits.  These deposits, in turn, are used to purchase securities of
local  municipalities.  Other  securities consist mainly of high-grade corporate
bonds.  As these bonds mature, they are being replaced with tax-exempt municipal
obligations.







                                                            Page  21

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

     Net  loans  increased  $2.5  million to $308.5 million. The growth in loans
came  mostly in the second and third quarters of 1998, following a $10.0 million
decline  in  the  first  quarter.  There  was  little net new loan volume in the
fourth  quarter.  Although declining market interest rates have resulted in loan
portfolio  payoffs  and  refinancings,  the Company continues to encounter local
loan  demand  for  commercial  and  residential  mortgages,  as well as indirect
automobile  loans.  With  Canandaigua National Bank and Trust company soon to be
the  only  locally  owned  full service community bank in the Monroe and Ontario
County marketplace, management anticipates greater portfolio loan growth in 1999
than  1998.  All  other  assets  rose  $.5  million  to  $22.4  million.
     Total  non-performing  loans  decreased  over the twelve month period ended
December  31,  1998 by $2.6 million to $2.5 million at year-end 1998 as compared
to  $5.1 million at year-end 1997. The decrease has come across all loan types -
commercial, residential real estate and consumer loans with the largest decrease
coming  from commercial real estate.  Management attributes these decreases to a
combination  of  strict underwriting procedures, strong collection efforts and a
relatively  stable  economic  cycle  in  the  Company's  market.
     The  allowance  for loan losses stood at $3.2 million at December 31, 1998,
up $.1 million from December 31, 1997.  1998's year end balance represents 1.05%
of total loans versus 1.02% for 1997.  The increase in the allowance balance for
1998  was  relatively  modest and is a reflection of little net new loan volume.
Net  charge-offs for the year remained favorable at .17% of average loans versus
 .13%  in  1997.

     Other  real  estate  owned  consists  of  six  parcels  of  property,  all
commercial,  for  $1.6  million. The decline in other real estate owned from the
same period in 1997 is a result of the Company's foreclosure on $ 2.1 million in
real estate assets in May 1997 offset by the liquidation of portions of this and
other  properties.   While other real estate owned trended downward during 1998,
the  Company  did  foreclose  on one commercial real estate property in October,
resulting  in an addition of $.3 million; however, total other real estate owned
remains  below  the  December  31,  1997  level.
     In  1998  the  Company  added approximately $2 million in fixed assets with
approximately  half  coming  from  the new Webster branch and computer hardware,
software  and  peripherals.  With  the  planned  opening of at least two banking
offices  in  1999,  more  fixed  assets  additions can be anticipated, which the
Company  expects  to  fund  from  current  operations.
     Total  deposits  at December 31, 1998 were $376.5 million and were up $51.7
million  from  December  31, 1997. For the same period borrowings from FHLB were
down $43.5 million to $7.1 million.  Other liabilities increased by $.07 million
to $1.9 million. The decline in borrowings is a direct result of deposit growth.
Deposit  growth  since December 31, 1997 has come in all interest-bearing types:
interest-bearing  demand  up  $19.6  million,  savings  and money market up $8.7
million  and certificates of deposit up $32.4 million.  Deposit growth came from
a number of sources, including the introduction of our Generations Gold suite of
accounts,  our Business Choice Sweep account, the opening of the Webster office,
and  our  "CD  Specials".  Also,  to  open  a  secondary  source of liquidity in
addition  to  FHLB  advances and reduce the short-term gap, the Company sold $10
million  in  nationally  market  CD's  with  an  average  maturity of 30 months.

Results  of  Operations
- -----------------------
     Despite  a  $23.1  million  or 6.5% growth in earning assets for 1998 and a
corresponding  growth  in  interest  bearing  liabilities,  net  interest income
increased only $.2 million or 1.2% and is reflective of the decline in yields on
the assets due to a lower interest rate environment than in 1997.  The Company's
cost  of funds increased 6 basis points to 4.00% for the year ended December 31,
1998  as  compared to 1997.  The increase was mostly due to higher FHLB advances
in  early  1998,  which  were  replaced  during  the year with lower cost retail
deposits.  Management  believes  it  will face less refinancing pressure in 1999
than in 1998, however, management also anticipates the continuation of the trend
of  lower  interest  spread and margin as most of the Company's loan growth will
come  from  the  competitive  Monroe  County  market.  Refer  to  Interest  Rate
Sensitivity  and  Asset  /  Liability  Management  Review  section for a further
discussion.

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

     Other income for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased $2.1 million or
56.4%  over  1997.  The  increase  was  reflected in all sources of non-interest
revenue.  Service  charges  on  accounts  rose  18%  attributed  to  increased
transaction volume, changes in account fee structures, and the implementation in
April  of  and  ATM  convenience fee for non-Canandaigua National Bank and Trust
Company  customers.  Trust  income  grew  31%  year on year due to the growth in
assets  under  management.  The  book value of assets under management increased
18.4%  to  $423.6 million at year end 1998.  The Company continues to see strong
demand  for  locally managed trust services in its market area.  In recent years
most of the Company's Trust competitors, large regional and national banks, have
reduced  the  local  control  and  decision  making authority and raised minimum
account  balances  for  personally managed accounts.  This trend is allowing the
Company,  with its focus on the personal touch, to see double digit growth.  Net
gains  on  loan  sales  and other income are both up due to the Company's strong
mortgage  banking  year.  It  is important to note that over 75% of the mortgage
banking  originations  were  for  home  purchases rather that refinancing.  This
factor is important for years when refinanicing activity is slower as local real
estate  brokers  should  continue  to refer their business to Home Town Funding.
Also  in  late  1998  Home  Town  Funding  began  brokering subprime residential
mortgages.  This  now  means  that  any customer can find a mortgage loan at the
Company,  from  its 20 year bi-weekly three-year callable mortgage to fixed rate
secondary  market  mortgages  originated  through  the  VA,  FNMA  and  FHLMC.
     Operating  expenses  increased  $2.8  million  or  17.9% for the year ended
December  31,  1998.  Increase  came  in  all  major expense categories and were
attributed  to  (1)  growth  in the Company's operations, (2) the acquisition of
Home Town Funding in late 1997, and (3) additional expenses for the core banking
conversion.   Based  upon  the  projected  growth  in  banking  offices in 1999,
operating  expenses  are  expected to increase further and will grow at a faster
pace  than  the  related  revenue.  Management  estimates that the Company's new
banking  offices  break  even  in  24  to  36  months.

Liquidity
- ---------

     Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to
meet  the  demand  from  depositors  who  wish  to withdraw funds, borrowers who
require  funds, and capital expansion.  Liquidity is produced by cash flows from
operating,  investing,  and  financing  activities of the Company.  For the year
ended  December  31,  1998  the  Company  generated  $4.6  million  in  cash and
equivalents  versus  $.5  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1997.

     Net  cash  from  operating activities was $4.5 million in 1998, roughly the
same  as in 1997.  Both the largest source and use of operating cash in 1998 and
1997  were  mortgage  banking activity.  However, activity in 1998 was over four
times  that  in  1997.

     Cash  used  by  investing activities declined significantly in 1998 to $6.0
million  from  $58.3  million  in 1997.  The reduction in cash used in investing
activities  is primarily attributed to slower commercial and indirect automobile
loan  growth  relative  to  1997.

     Cash  provided  by  financing activities was $6.2 million in 1998 versus of
$53.9  million  in  1997.  With  little  net  loan  volume, financing growth was
minimal.  However,  the Company did experience a shift with financing activities
from  FHLB  advances  to  customer  deposits.

     FHLB  advances  remain an important liquidity source for the Company.  With
$7.1  million  outstanding  at  December  31,  1998  the  Company had additional
borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $35 million. Secondarily, the Company opened
a liquidity source through the sale of its CD's in the national brokered market.
Cash  for  growth  in 1999 is expected to come from these two sources as well as
customer  deposits  as  the  Company  expands  into  Monroe  County.

Interest  Rate  Sensitivity  and  Asset  /  Liability  Management  Review
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Item  7a  Quantitative  and  Qualitative  Disclosures  about  Market  Risk)

     The  Company  realizes  income  principally from the differential or spread
between  the  interest  earned on loans, investments and other interest-earnings
assets  and  the  interest  paid  on  deposits  and borrowings. Loan volumes and
yields,  as  well  as  the  volume  of  and  rates  on investments, deposits and
borrowings,  are affected by market interest rates. Additionally, because of the
terms  and  conditions  of  many  of  the  Company's  loan documents and deposit
accounts,  a change in interest rates could also affect the projected maturities
of  the  loan portfolio and/or the deposit base, which could alter the Company's
sensitivity  to  future  changes  in  interest  rates.  Accordingly,  management
considers  interest  rate risk to be the Company's most significant market risk.
     Interest  rate  risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in
net  interest  income  within  Board  approved  policy  limits while taking into
consideration,  among  other  factors,  the  Company's overall credit, operating
income,  operating  cost,  and  capital  profile.  The Company's Asset/Liability
Committee  (ALCO),  which includes senior management and reports to the Board of
Directors,  monitors  and  manages  interest rate risk to maintain an acceptable
level of change to net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates.
     Management  of  the Company's interest rate risk, requires the selection of
appropriate  techniques  and  instruments  to  be utilized after considering the
benefits,  costs  and  risk  associated  with available alternatives.  Since the
Company does not utilize derivative instruments, management's techniques usually
consider  one  or more of the following: (1) interest rates offered on products,
(2)  maturity  terms offered on products, (3) types of products offered, and (4)
products  available to the Company in the wholesale market such as advances from
the  FHLB.
     The  Company  uses  an  interest  margin  simulation model as one method to
identify  and  manage  its  interest  rate  risk  profile. The model is based on
expected  cash flows and repricing characteristics for all financial instruments
and  incorporates  market-based  assumptions  regarding  the  impact of changing
interest  rates  on  these  financial  instruments.  Assumptions  based  on  the
historical  behavior  of  deposit  rates  and balances in relation to changes in
interest  rates  are  also  incorporated  into  the model. These assumptions are
inherently  uncertain  and,  as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net
interest  income  or  precisely  predict  the impact of fluctuations in interest
rates  on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results
due  to  timing,  magnitude,  and  frequency of interest rate changes as well as
changes  in  market  conditions  and  management  strategies.
     Using the aforementioned simulation model, net earnings projections reflect
continued  growth  in  net  income  when  applying  the  declining interest rate
environment as of December 31, 1998 ("Base Case").  The table below, which shows
the  Company's  estimated  net  earnings  sensitivity profile as of December 31,
1998,  assumes  no  changes  in  the operating environment, but assumes interest
rates  increase/decrease  immediately  (rate  shock)  and  remain  unchanged
thereafter.  The  table  indicates  the estimated impact on net income under the
various  interest  rate  scenarios  as  a  percentage  of  Base  Case  earnings
projections.

           Results  of  Operations  (continued)

     A  second  method  used  to identify and manage the Company's interest rate
risk  profile  is  the  static  gap  analysis.  Interest sensitivity gap ("gap")
analysis measures the difference between the assets and liabilities repricing or
maturing  within  specific  time  periods. An asset-sensitive position indicates
that  there  are  more  rate-sensitive  assets  than  rate-sensitive liabilities
repricing or maturing within specific time horizons, which would generally imply
a  favorable  impact  on net interest income in periods of rising interest rates
and  a  negative  impact  in  periods  of  falling  rates. A liability-sensitive
position  would  generally  imply  a  negative  impact on net interest income in
periods  of  rising  rates  and  a  positive impact in periods of falling rates.

     The  following  table  presents  an  analysis  of  the  Company's  interest
rate-sensitivity gap position at December 31, 1998.  All interest-earning assets
and  interest-bearing  liabilities  are  shown  based  on  the  earlier of their
contractual  maturity  or  repricing  date  with  no  adjustment  for  estimated
prepayment  and  decay  rates.  It  should  be  noted  that  the  interest  rate
sensitivity  levels shown in the table could be changed by external factors such
as  loan prepayments and liability decay rates or by factors controllable by the
Company  such  as  asset  sales.

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

     The  chart indicates that the Corporation was repricing $151.9 million more
of  interest  bearing  liabilities than interest earning assets in the 0-3 month
range.  The  Company  considers  this  gap  manageable, as a good portion of the
savings  balances  are  not  considered sensitive to rate changes.  However, the
Company  will  be  challenged  to maintain its interest margins in the case of a
rising interest rate environment.  For the 4-12 month period, the Corporation is
modestly  liability  sensitive,  as  $14.6  million  more  of  interest  bearing
liabilities are being repriced than interest earning assets.  For the entire one
year  range,  the  Corporation is repricing $166.5 million more interest bearing
liabilities than assets, or 38.0% of earning assets versus 43.6% at December 31,
1997.  The  Corporation is asset sensitive at $144.0 million for the one to five
year  range  and  $91.8  million  over  five  years.

     For the entire portfolio range, the Corporation is asset sensitive at $69.3
million  versus  asset sensitivity of $84.2 million last year reflecting a shift
of  retail deposits from non-interest bearing demand to interest-bearing demand.
1999's  interest  rate  forecast  is  mixed.  Early  in  the  year, experts were
predicting  the  possibility  of  a  further  rate  drop by the Federal Reserve.
During  February  this  forecast  changed  to  the  possibility  of a rate rise.
Company  management  sees  no  inherent reason for significant rate increases or
decreases  and, accordingly believe the 1999 will see relatively stable interest
rates.

Capital  Resources

     The Company and Bank are 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 Company's and Bank's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy  guidelines  and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action,
the  Company  and  Bank  must  meet  specific  capital  guidelines  that involve
quantitative  measures  of  the  Company's  and  Bank's assets, liabilities, and
certain  off-balance-sheet  items  calculated  under  regulatory  accounting
practices. The Company's and Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also
subject  to  qualitative  judgments  by  regulators  about  components,  risk
weightings,  and  other  factors.

     Quantitative  measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require  the  Company  and  Bank  to  maintain  minimum  amounts and ratios.  As
disclosed in the note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statement, as of December
31,  1998  all  capital  adequacy  requirements  were  met.

     As  of  December  31, 1998, 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 minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based,  and  Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the footnote. There are
no  conditions  or  events since that notification that management believes have
changed  the  Bank's  category.

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, 1998,
approximately $.9 million was available for payment of dividends to the Company,
its  primary  cash  source  for  paying  dividends  to  stockholders.

     Cash  dividends  for 1998 were $1.8 million or $11.00 per outstanding share
versus  $1.6  million  or  $10.00  per  outstanding  share  in  1997.

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

1997  versus  1996

     For  the  year  ended December 31, 1997, the Corporation had $357.5 million
average  earning  assets,  up  $48.9  million  or  15.9%  from the year earlier.
Average  interest  bearing  liabilities  were  $285.0 million for 1997, up $40.2
million  or  16.4%  from  1996.  The  increase  in  earning  assets reflects the
expansion  of  the  Company's indirect loan product into the Rochester, NY area.
Liability  growth was fueled by 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 1997
to  $18.2  million,  up  from  $16.3 million for 1996, reflecting an increase of
11.7%  for  1997.

     The  yield  on  interest earning assets was 8.23% in 1997, up from 8.15% in
1996.  Cost  of  funds  increased  to  3.94%  from  3.59%  in  1996.  Management
continued  to  monitor  the  cost  and  size  of  liabilities  during  1997, and
maintained a higher than average spread of 4.29%, but was a reduction from 4.56%
in  1996.  Net  interest  rate  margin  decreased  to  5.09%  from  5.30%.

     The  provision  for  loan losses in 1997 was $0.9 million, down $.6 million
from  1996.  The  allowance  for  loan  loss  as  of  December 31, 1997 was $3.2
million, or 1.02% of loans outstanding at year end 1997.  This ratio is slightly
lower  than  that  of  1996  (1.03%)  on  a  balance  of  $2.7  million.

     Other  income  for  1997  increased  to  $3.8  million  from  $3.4 million,
reflecting  an  increase  of  $.4  million or 11.8%.  Service charges on deposit
accounts  were  down  slightly  mainly as a result of slightly lower transaction
volumes.  Strong  demand  for  the Company's trust services in Ontario County as
well  as  the  new  Pittsford  office led to an increase of trust income to $1.7
million  or  30.8%  from $1.3 million in 1996.  All other non-interest operating
income  for  1997  rose  to  $.5  million  from  $.4 million reflecting a modest
increase  of  $0.1  million  on  improved  mortgage  banking  operations.

     Operating  expenses  totaled  $15.6  million, up 9.9% from $14.2 million in
1996.  Salaries  and  employee  benefits  rose  $1.3  million,  accounting  for
substantially  all  of  the  increase.  This  increase  is  reflective of hiring
additional staff in the indirect lending operations as well as the effect of the
1996 acquisition of Greater Funding of New York, Inc. and the Burlingham Agency.

Year  2000
- ----------

     The  Company  began  reviewing  its  year 2000 conversion needs in 1995 and
established a Year 2000 Project Committee that meets to review the status of the
conversion. The committee continues to direct the Company's Year 2000 activities
under  the framework of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's
(FFIEC)  Five  Step  Program,  which  includes  the  following:
       1.  Awareness  Phase
       2.  Assessment  Phase
       3.  Renovation  Phase
       4.  Validation  Phase
       5.  Implementation  Phase

     The  Company  has  segregated  its  systems  into  two main categories: (1)
Mission  Critical  and  (2)  Other.  Mission  Critical systems are those systems
(hardware  and  software)  that  are  vital to the successful continuance of the
Canandaigua  National  Bank and Trust's core banking and trust operations. Other
systems are those used by the Company and its related non-bank subsidiaries that
are  considered  non-mission  critical.

                                                              Page  27

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

     A  comprehensive  review  to identify the systems affected by the year 2000
issue  was  completed  in  1997  and  an implementation plan was compiled and is
currently  being  executed. As a result of the procedures already completed, the
Company  expects to upgrade existing systems or replace some systems altogether.

     Considerable  progress  has been made, including the replacement/conversion
of  the  Bank's  core  operating  systems.  It is anticipated that all remaining
projects  will  be  completed  by internal staff. The Company does not expect to
spend  any significant amounts with outside contractors. Therefore, costs do not
represent  any  material  incremental  costs,  but  rather  will  represent  the
redeployment  of existing technology resources. In the opinion of management our
"opportunity cost" from 1996 through 2000 approximates $3.0 million and is based
upon  an  estimate  of  the  time  for  internal  staff  to complete testing and
remediation efforts multiplied by an estimated hourly rate.  Out-of-pocket costs
for  testing  and other services are estimated at no more than $300,000, most of
which  will  be  expended  in  1999.
     As  of December 31, 1998 the Company has substantially completed all of the
above  phases of its year 2000 compliance plan.  Management expects all material
year  2000 compliance items will be resolved no later than the second quarter of
1999.  Substantially  all  mission-critical  systems were validated by year -end
1998.  The Company still has validation testing to complete on some non-critical
systems.  Following  validation,  these  systems  will  be  implemented.
     All  of  the  remaining  systems to be validated and converted/replaced are
vendor-supplied,  and  most vendors have provided the Company with certification
or  a  delivery  commitment letter. The Company presently believes that with the
conversion  to new systems, and vendor delivery of millennium-compliant systems,
all  material  year  2000  compliance  issues  will  be  resolved.
     While  deemed  remote by management, if the Company's systems were to cease
processing  due  to  a  year  2000  failure,  any  interruption  would likely be
short-lived.  And  because  substantially  all  of  our  income and expenses are
earned  (paid)  on  an  accrual  basis,  any anticipated direct losses which may
result  from  a  year  2000  related  system failure would not be expected to be
material  over  the  long  term.  The  Company  can  continue  to earn (and pay)
interest in the event of an operating disruption. The Company assesses its worst
case Year 2000 scenarios to include: (1) material credit losses due to Year 2000
failures  adversely  affecting  its  commercial  banking  customer  base and (2)
liquidity  strain  resulting  from potential disruption of the financial markets
stemming  from  significant  Year  2000  failures.

     Because  of  these  potential  risks,  the  Company  has  developed  and is
implementing  the  following  plans:

     The Company has prepared a business continuity plan for its Bank operations
to  consider  the  impact  of  Year  2000.  The plan will include, at a minimum:

1.  Identification of responsible individual or team, and key personnel required
for  business  resumption.
2.  Development  of  a  recovery  plan  for  each  core  business  process.
3.  Creation of a master list of customer, clients, suppliers, institutions that
share  data.
4.  An  inventory  of  machines,  documents,  electronic  files  required  for
resumption.
5.  Identification  of  a  location  for  business  resumption.
6.  Creation  of  printouts  of  warehoused  (in-process)  transactions.
7.  Use  of  manual  processing  procedures  if  necessary.
8.  Training  of  key  personnel  to  implement  plan.

     Testing  of  the  Business  Resumption  Contingency Plans will be performed
during  1999.

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

     The  Company  is  also  subject, either directly or indirectly, to the year
2000  issue  with  respect  to  external  parties,  particularly commercial loan
customers  and  transaction  processing  parties.  The  Bank  is  addressing its
exposure  to  its  commercial  loan  customers by reviewing customers' plans and
procedures  for remediating their year 2000 risk.  This review is carried out in
the  context  of  the  Bank's  annual  loan review process, which includes a Y2K
assessment questionnaire for completion by borrowers.   By December 31, 1998 the
Bank had reviewed a majority of its commercial loan customers and had classified
the  entire loan portfolio in a "high-medium-low Y2K risk" rating system.  Using
this  system,  management  assessed  the Bank's risk of loan loss.  Through this
assessment  process the Company has concluded that no special provision for loan
loss  is  necessary  at  this  time  to  address  the  Y2K  risk.

     The  Company's  most  important third party vendors are the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York (Fedline), NYCE, and NYACH.  Each of these vendors plays a role
in  the  payment exchange system, such as check clearing, ATM processing and ACH
postings.  A failure of any or all of these vendors to carry out their functions
would  result  in  a  delay  in  posting customer transactions.  The Company has
established  testing  dates  with  each of these vendors.  For some, testing has
already  started.

     Management  believes  the  Company's  Year  2000  efforts  constitute  and
important  technology  project.  They  view  these  efforts as opportunities for
technological  advancement,  which  will  ultimately  increase  customer  value.


New  Accounting  Pronouncements
- -------------------------------

     In  June  1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No.  133,  "Accounting  for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This
statement  requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities,  with  the  instruments  measured at fair value. The accounting for
gains and losses results from changes in fair value of the derivative instrument
depends on the intended use of the derivative and the type of risk being hedged.
The  statement  is  effective  for  fiscal  years beginning after June 15, 1999,
although  earlier  adoption  is  permitted.  Based  upon current activities, the
adoption  of  the  statement  will not have an effect on the Company's financial
position  or  results  of  operation.

     In  October  1998,  the  FASB issued SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage
Backed  Securities  Retained after the Securitization or Mortgage Loans Held for
Sale  by  a  Mortgage Banking Enterprise", which amends SFAS No. 65, "Accounting
for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities". This statement conforms the subsequent
accounting for securities retained after the securitization of mortgage loans by
a  mortgage  banking  enterprise  with  the  accounting for such securities by a
non-mortgage  banking  enterprise.  This  statement  is  effective for the first
quarter beginning January 1, 1999 and this statement will not have any impact on
the Company's financial position or results of operation as the Company does not
currently  securitize  mortgage  loans.

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"  on  the  Proxy Statement, dated February 23,
1999,  and  is  incorporated  herein  from  the  Proxy  Statement  by reference.

     During  the  year  ended December 31, 1998, officers of the Corporation did
not  receive any compensation from the Corporation for services rendered in such
capacity.  All  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  age  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 1998, 1997, and 1996 were $835,000, $763,000,
and  $658,000,  respectively.

     The  Corporation  has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for employees
of  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  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 1998, 1997, and
1996  were  $63,000,  $62,000,  and  $52,000  respectively.

     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  $1,033,000  as  of  December  31, 1998 representing its obligation under the
plan. Expenses of the plan amounted to $137,000, $110,000, and  $371,000 for the
years  ended  December  31,  1998,  1997  and 1996 and were accrued 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

President's  Message
February  1,  1999
To  Our  Shareholders:
  "Broadening  the base" would aptly describe the year 1998.  As we continue the
implementation  of  our  Plan  for the Year 2010, we have broadened our reach in
terms  of products and markets.  Our mutual fund, Canandaigua Select Equity, has
been  converted  to "retail" form so that customers may purchase units directly,
not  just  for  "qualified" purposes, namely retirement accounts.  The Rochester
Business  Journal  observed  that  Canandaigua  Select  Equity recorded the best
performance  for  1998  of  any fund managed in the region.  Business Choice was
introduced  mid-year  and  is  popular  with  our  business  accounts wishing to
effectively  manage  their  short-term  cash  at  market  rates  while providing
day-to-day  availability  to  meet  operational  requirements.  In  November, we
opened  our  Webster  banking office, serving all points between the Village and
the  Baytowne  area  of the Town of Penfield.  An April date is slated to open a
banking office in Greece on Ridge Road, adjacent to the library and the old Town
Hall.  We  have  an  agreement  in  principle  to  purchase  a  bank building in
Irondequoit  (Columbia, now M&T) on Hudson Avenue across from Irondequoit Plaza.
Judging  from  the reaction to our Webster facility opening celebration recently
held  on  January  28th,  our  presence  as  an  independent,  locally-owned,
full-service,  community  bank  is  a  welcome  addition  to  the  area.
  At  the  close  of  the  first quarter we prevailed in our lawsuit against the
Superintendent  of  Insurance,  gaining  a  permanent  injunction  against  the
enforcement  of  Section  2501  of  the  New York Insurance Law which would have
precluded us from selling property and casualty insurance to our loan customers.
This decision, in connection with the recently passed "wild card" statute of New
York  State  Banking  Law,  has  led  the way now to enfranchise all banks, both
national  and  state  chartered, in New York State to sell property and casualty
insurance.  Currently, we sell or can place all kinds of insurance for customers
on  a  case-by-case  basis and are working on a business plan to develop greater
volumes  in the coming year.  With the  addition of insurance, we now have fully
achieved our goal to be able to offer, from under the same roof, a complete line
of  financial  services  for  individuals.
  Our  subsidiary,  HomeTown  Funding, delivered a banner performance seeing its
first  year  of profitability.  New personnel and processing ability resulted in
growth  and  stability.  Through  HomeTown  Funding,  we  have  added  access to
sub-prime  markets  and  the ability to provide mortgage financing for virtually
every  one  of  our customers no matter how challenged they may be from a credit
standpoint.
  Similarly,  our affiliation with USA Payroll continues to grow as that company
achieved  profitability  for  the  first  time this year.  As a payroll service,
there  are  many  synergies to be availed between and among our various customer
segments.
  The  vehicle  by  which  we  keep  all  of this organized, both internally and
externally,  is through our process of Life Stage Marketing which we continue to
develop.  Simply,  if  we understand our customer's commitments and concerns, we
immediately know the appropriate array and fit of various products and services.
It  is  the  assembly of these products and services wherein we add value to the
customer  relationship.  The  customer  receives  good  value  at  a  fair price
available  in  one  spot,  managed  and  coordinated  by  one  person.
  Earnings  for  1998 are $22.38 per share compared with $23.22 for the previous
year.  As  reported  at  mid-year, we were running behind $2.20 per share due to
one-time  charges  taken  in  the  first and second quarters relating to account
adjustments  connected  with  our  computer conversion at the close of 1997.  We
were able to implement strategies which regained most of the shortfall such that
our  final  earnings  performance was within $.84 of last year's returns.  Asset
growth  of  2.2%  year-over-year disguises a nearly 10% growth in average assets
and  deposits  for the entire year.  Nevertheless, the dividend for the year was
up  strongly  by  10%,  deposit growth up year-over-year 15.9% reflective of our
strong  capital  and promising prospects, respectively, as we position ourselves
for  growth  in  the  future.

                                     Page 2
  In  December  of 1998, M&T announced the acquisition of First National Bank of
Rochester  effective  the  second quarter of 1999.  We greeted this announcement
with  mixed  emotions.  Any time a community bank is absorbed there is cause for
concern  and  sadness  because  the  effect  is  to  remove  from the locale the
management of local financial resources in accord with local priorities.  On the
bright  side,  we  remain as the only locally owned financial institution in the
metropolitan market offering a full compliment of banking, trust, and investment
services.  This  opportunity adds significantly to a key strategy to broaden our
base  in areas of greater population.  In January, we revised our 1999 budget to
invest  in  this  opportunity which, in the short term, will reduce our earnings
but, in the long term, will enhance our prospects for growth toward our Plan for
the  Year  2010.  Recent  activities  have involved taping TV spots (a first for
us),  expanding  our  lending  staff in the Rochester market and identifying new
sales  and  support  staff  as  we  accelerate  our  plans  in  Irondequoit.
  On the legislative side, we participated with the New York Bankers Association
to  eliminate  much  of  the  damaging  provisions which were contained in HR 10
(passed  by  the  House)  by  working with the Senate Banking Staff and teams of
negotiators  from  underwriters,  sales  organizations  and  regulators  of  the
insurance  industry  in  New York and Connecticut.  Of course, Congress has been
consumed  by the impeachment process which has delayed any thought of productive
work  being  accomplished. We remain disappointed that Congress, by legislation,
ratified  the  illegal  expansion  over the last eight years of Credit Unions in
contravention  of  the  "common  bond" prerequisite for membership found to have
been  violated  by the Supreme Court of the United States.  Credit Unions remain
free  from  payment  of  Federal  and  State income taxes, enjoy exemptions from
Community  Reinvestment  Act provisions and are benefited by special  accounting
rules  which  amount  to  an  enormous  subsidy.  This  may contain the seeds of
ultimate  vulnerability  as  in the case of the thrift industry, where it led to
its  ultimate  demise.  These inequities and the loss of an estimated $1 billion
per  year  in  tax  revenues  falls  upon  the  deaf  ears  of  Congress.
  We  are entering our ninth year of economic expansion.  The growth of GDP over
the  last  three  years  averaged  nearly  3.7% per year.  Our State and Federal
governments  experienced  surpluses  for the first time in nearly three decades.
Unemployment,  by  any  measure, is as low as it has ever been, and inflation is
remarkably  well  behaved.  Troubles in Russia and Brazil are serious, yet their
contagion  seems  far  removed.  Accordingly, loan portfolios are healthy in big
and  small  banks,  earnings  and  capital  of  the  industry remain strong, and
prospects  for the future are positive.  Part of this is due to good fortune and
part  is  due  to  good  management  of  monetary policy by the Federal Reserve.
  As  we  invest  in  our  future,  we  are  excited  by the challenges recently
presented  to  us.  Moreover, as experienced and talented people come to us from
other financial institutions, we are bolstered by the confirmation of our vision
and  mission  which their commitment to us implies.  Whether it be at home or at
the  business  site,  whether  it  be  in  person  or through interaction on the
Internet,  we  are  prepared  to  offer  comprehensive  financial  services  to
individuals  and  their  families  and  businesses wherever they may be located.
  These  greetings  would  not  be  complete  without  introducing  our  two new
Directors,  James  Fralick  and  Richard  Miller,  who  bring  to  us  important
experience coupled with a strong commitment to our community as we move into the
new millennium.  Jim has had a career in economics which has spanned the Federal
Reserve  to  Morgan  Stanley  in  London,  and Dick's experiences range from CEO
positions  in  sales and management in industry to his current position as Chief
Operating Officer of the University of Rochester.  Their profiles appear on page
35.  To  this  we  add  our  gratitude  to  our  associates wherever they may be
situated,  especially for their creative efforts applied day by day to bring our
vision  to  a  reality.

Very  truly  yours,

/s/  George  W.  Hamlin,  IV

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, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998. 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, 1998 and 1997, and the results of
their  operations  and  their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Canandaigua  National  Corporation  and  Subsidiaries

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                        December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996

(1)  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies

Business

Canandaigua  National  Corporation  (the  Company)  provides  a  full  range  of
financial  services,  including  banking,  trust,  and  insurance  services  to
individual,  corporate,  and  municipal  customers.  The  Company  is subject to
competition  from other financial institutions. The Company and its subsidiaries
are subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergo
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), Greater Funding of New York, Inc., and HomeTown Funding, Inc. (HTF).
All  significant  intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.  The  Company  accounts  for  investments  in  minority  owned
subsidiaries  under  the  equity  method.  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.

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. Held to maturity securities are recorded at
amortized  cost.  All  other  securities  not  included  as held to maturity are
classified  as  available  for  sale.

Available  for  sale  securities  are recorded at fair value. 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 component of
accumulated other comprehensive income in 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
security  as  an  adjustment  to  yield  using the interest method. Dividend and
interest  income  are  recognized  when  earned.  Realized  gains and losses are
included  in  earnings  and  are  determined  using  the specific identification
method.

Loans

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding net of deferred origination
costs. Interest and costs on loans are credited to income based on the effective
interest  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.  Consumer loans
are  generally  charged  off  upon  becoming  120  days  past  due.

Canandaigua  National  Corporation  and  Subsidiaries

                   Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements

(1)  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies  (continued)

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 inherent in the portfolio. 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  allowance  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 allowance for loan
losses.  Such  agencies  may  require  the Company to recognize additions to the
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  for  impairment as
discussed  above.

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  Assets

Goodwill,  which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of  identifiable  assets acquired in 1997, is being amortized over five years on
the  straight-line method. The amortization period is reviewed at least annually
to  determine  if  events and circumstances require the period to be reduced. At
December  31,  1998  and  1997  the  unamortized balance of goodwill amounted to
$348,000  and  $476,000,  respectively.  Insurance  expirations (customer list),
acquired  through  acquisition  in  1996,  are  amortized  over  five years, the
expected  period  over  which  commission  income  will  be received. The amount
remaining  to  be  amortized  at  December  31,  1998  and 1997 was $158,000 and
$225,000,  respectively.

Other  Real  Estate

Real  estate  acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure (other
real estate) 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  earnings  and 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.

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.

Accumulated  Other  Comprehensive  Income

On  January  1,  1998,  the  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of SFAS No. 130,
Reporting  Comprehensive  Income.  This  statement  establishes  standards  for
reporting  and display of comprehensive income and its components. The Company's
comprehensive  income consists of only net income and the net unrealized holding
gains  and  losses  of  securities  available  for  sale, net of the related tax
effect. Accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of
stockholders'  equity  is  presented  net  of  taxes.

Trust  Department  Income

Assets,  at  cost, held in fiduciary or agency capacity for customers, amounting
to  $424,000,000  and  $358,000,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
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.

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  mortgages  and  lines  of  credit.  These
off-balance-sheet  items  are shown on the Company's balance sheet upon funding.

Treasury  Stock

Treasury  stock is shown on the consolidated balance sheet at cost as a separate
component  of  stockholders'  equity,  and  is  a  reduction thereto. Shares are
released  from treasury at fair value, with any gain on the sale reflected as an
adjustment  to  additional  paid-in  capital  or  retained  earnings. Losses are
reflected  as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital to the extent of gains
previously  recognized,  otherwise  as  an  adjustment  to  retained  earnings.

Per  Share  Data

Basic  earnings  per  share  was  computed  on the basis of the weighted average
number  of  common  shares outstanding. On December 31, 1997 the Company adopted
the  provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share." Adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company as it had no
potentially  dilutive  securities  in 1997. As discussed in note 12, the Company
adopted  an  incentive stock plan in 1998, however, no options have been granted
under  the  plan.  The  weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
each  of  the  years  in  the  three-year  period ended December 31, 1998 are as
follows:  1998 - 160,254; 1997 - 160,955; and 1996 - 161,855. Net income used in
the  calculation  of  basic  earnings  per  share  is  net  income  shown on the
consolidation  statement  of  income.

Other  Recently  Issued  Accounting  Standards

Effective  January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS
No.  125,  "Accounting  for  Transfers  and  Servicing  of  Financial Assets and
Extinguishments  of  Liabilities", which relate to the accounting for securities
lending,  repurchase  agreements,  and other secured financing activities. These
provisions,  which were delayed for implementation by SFAS No. 127, did not have
a  material  impact  on  the  Company.

During 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise  and  Related  Information",  which  revised  its  requirements  for
disclosing  segment data. The new standard did not result in significant changes
in  the  Company's  reporting.

In  June  1998,  the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities". This
statement  requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities,  with  the  instruments  measured at fair value. The accounting for
gains and losses results from changes in fair value of the derivative instrument
depends on the intended use of the derivative and the type of risk being hedged.
The  statement  is  effective  for  fiscal  years beginning after June 15, 1999,
although  earlier  adoption  is  permitted.  Based  upon current activities, the
adoption  of  the  statement  will not have an effect on the Company's financial
position  or  results  of  operation.

In  October  1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage Backed
Securities  Retained after the Securitization or Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by
a  Mortgage  Banking  Enterprise",  which  amends  SFAS  No. 65, "Accounting for
Certain  Mortgage  Banking  Activities".  This statement conforms the subsequent
accounting for securities retained after the securitization of mortgage loans by
a  mortgage  banking  enterprise  with  the  accounting for such securities by a
non-mortgage  banking  enterprise.  This  statement  is  effective for the first
quarter beginning January 1, 1999 and this statement will not have any impact on
the Company's financial position or results of operation as the Company does not
currently  securitize  mortgage  loans.

(2)  Acquisitions

     In  October 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of the
mortgage  banking  company HomeTown Funding, Inc. In May 1996, the Bank acquired
the  Burlingham Agency (BA), a life insurance agency. In April 1996, the Company
acquired  all  of the outstanding shares of the mortgage banking company Greater
Funding  of  New York, Inc. Up to that date, the Company had owned 33% of GFNYI.
The  pro  forma  effect  of  these  acquisitions  was  not  material.

(3)  Federal  Funds  Sold

     Income from Federal funds sold for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997,
and  1996  was  $33,000,  $1,000,  and  $374,000,  respectively.

(5)  Loans  (continued)

At  December  31,  1998  residential  mortgage  loans  with  a carrying value of
approximately $7,900,000 were pledged as collateral for the Bank's advances from
the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank,  and an additional $38,600,000 was available for

The Company's market area is generally Western Ontario County and Eastern Monroe
County  of  New  York  State.  Virtually  all loans are made in its market area.
Accordingly,  the  ultimate  collectibility  of  a  substantial  portion  of the
Company's  loan  portfolio  is  susceptible to changes in the conditions in this
area.

The  Company's concentrations of credit risk are as disclosed in the schedule of
loan  classifications. The concentrations of credit risk in loan commitments and
letters  of  credit  parallel  the  loan  classifications  reflected. Other than
general  economic  risks, management is not aware of any material concentrations
of  credit  risk  to  any  industry  or  individual  borrower.

The  Company  maintains  a $21,000,000 overnight line of credit with the FHLB of
New  York of which $2,300,000 was outstanding at December 31, 1998. Advances are
payable  on  demand  and  generally bear interest at the federal funds rate plus
1/8%.  The  Company  also  has  access to the FHLB's Term Advance Program, which
allows  the  bank  to borrow up to $21,000,000 at various terms and rates. Under
the  terms  of  a  blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB, these outstanding
balances  are  collateralized  by  the  Company's  investment  in FHLB stock and
certain  other qualifying assets not otherwise pledged (primarily first mortgage
loans).

In 1995, the Bank borrowed $1,023,000 from the FHLB at an effective rate of 2.5%

</TABLE>


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 $87,000 against
its non-bank subsidiary's Net Operating Loss (NOL) was necessary. As of December
31,  1998 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  GFNYI.

(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 (OCC) is required for the declaration
of  dividends  in any year in which dividends exceed the total of net income for
that  year  plus  retained  income  for the preceding two years. At December 31,
1998,  approximately  $921,000  was  available  for  payment of dividends to the
Company  without  the  approval  of  the  OCC.

(11)  Employee  Benefits

Profit  Sharing  Plan

The  Company has a profit sharing plan covering substantially all Bank employees
upon  completion  of 1,000 hours of service with respect to full-time employees,
and  870 hours of service for part-time employees. 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 $835,000, $763,000, and
$658,000  for  the  years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, 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 $63,000, $62,000, and $52,000 for the years
ended  December  31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. Shares distributed to a
participant  upon termination of service are subject to a put option whereby the
participant  may  cause  the  Company  to  purchase the shares at fair value. At
December  31,  1998  and  1997  the plan held 1,560 and 1,435 shares with a fair
value  at  the  respective  dates  of  $566,280  and  $439,110.

(12)  Incentive  Stock  Plans

In  March  1998, the shareholders approved an incentive stock option program for
employees, which authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 16,000 shares of
its  authorized  common  stock.  As of December 31, 1998 no options were granted
under  the  plan.  The  Company  also  has  an  incentive  stock plan for senior
management of the Company which allows for the issuance of Phantom Stock Options
(PSA)  and  Stock  Appreciation  Rights  (SAR)  to  key  employees  based  upon
performance factors established by the Board of Directors, and is generally tied
to  increases  in  the  value  of the Company's common stock. PSAs represent the
right  to  receive,  for  each phantom share of common stock covered by the PSA,
payment  equal  to  the  higher  of  the book value or market value per share of
common stock on the date of exercise. Payment can be made in cash, shares of the
Company,  or  both  at  the  discretion  of  the  Board  of  Directors. PSAs are
exercisable at the later of age 55 or 15 years of continuous employment with the
Company  or  at  normal retirement age (65). SARs represent the right to receive
payment  equal  to  the amount, if any, by which the higher of the book value or
market  value per share of common stock on the date of exercise exceeds the SARs
grant value. SARs are exercisable five years from the date of grant. At December
31,  1998, 3,052 PSAs were outstanding and 2,508 SARs were outstanding at prices
ranging  from  $114  to  $242.

Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its plans in accordance with
the  provisions  of Accounting Principles 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
value  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
between the Company's previous method of accounting for its incentive stock plan
and  the  provision  of  SFAS  No.  123,  therefore  no pro forma information is
provided.

The  Company  has  accrued  a  liability  of  $1,033,000 as of December 31, 1998
representing  its  obligation under the plans. Expenses of the plans amounted to
$137,000,  $110,000,  and  $371,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997,
and  1996,  respectively.

(13)  Leases

The  Company  leases  certain  buildings  and office space under operating lease
arrangements.  Rent  expense  under  these  arrangements amounted to $284,000 in
1998,  $238,000 in 1997, and $386,000 in 1996. Included in rent expense 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  leased  buildings  and  office space are generally paid by the
Company.

(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, 1998 were: Commercial letters of
credit  $3,462,000  and  unused commitments $39,842,000. The contract amounts of
these  commitments  at  December  31,  1997  were:  Commercial letters of credit
$1,796,000 and unused commitments $34,766,000. 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
$6,200,000  at  December  31,  1998.

The  Company  committed  $1,980,000 to fund a 20% limited partnership investment
interest  in  Cephas  Capital  Partnership,  LP.  This small business investment
company  was  established  for  the  purpose  of  providing  financing  to small
businesses  in  conjunction with programs established by the U.S. Small Business
Administration.  At December 31, 1998, the Company had funded $1,406,000 of this
commitment  and  carries the investment under the equity method in other assets.

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,  1998  was  approximately  $6,000,000.

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.

(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  to  qualitative  judgments  by  regulators  about  components,  risk
weightings,  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 I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1998, that the Bank
meets  all  capital  adequacy  requirements  to  which  it  is  subject.

As  of  December  31,  1998, 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 minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based,  and  Tier I 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.

(16)     Loans  to  Directors  and  Officers

Certain  executive  officers,  directors,  and  their  business  interests  are
customers  of  the  Company.  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, 1998 and 1997, loans and
unused  commitments  to  these  related  parties  amounted  to  $4,311,000  and
$4,221,000,  respectively.

(18)  Fair  Values  of  Financial  Instruments

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

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

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,  is  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.

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.

(18)  Fair  Values  of  Financial  Instruments  (continued)

Advances  from  FHLB:

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

The  estimated  fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows (dollars

(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  the  commitments.


(19)  Industry  Segment  Information

     The  Company's operations are solely in the financial services industry and
include  the  provision  of  traditional  commercial  banking services and other
financial  services  (mortgage  banking  and  insurance  brokering.) The Company
operates in the geographical region of Western Ontario County and Eastern Monroe
County  of  New  York  State.  The  Company  has  identified operating segments,
however,  these  segments  did not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate
disclosure.

On  November  17,  1998,  Canandaigua  National  Bank and Trust opened its third
Monroe  County  location  in  Webster  at  1998  Empire Boulevard. The strategic
identification  of  this  location  supports  an existing customer base obtained
through  our  indirect  lending initiatives. This location is also positioned in
the fastest growing town in Monroe County and will provide us the opportunity to
offer  our  personal  approach  to  financial  services  in  this  new  market.
     Designed  with  the  influence  and  success of the "Pittsford Model," this
office  features  a  customer-friendly  banking  environment.  As  you enter the
office,  you  are  welcomed  with  an information desk where you are greeted and
directed  to  the area you need. Tellers and customers conduct transactions at a
sit-down  counter,  while  children play with books and toys or watch a movie on
the  television in pint-sized furniture. The foyer offers self-serve safekeeping
boxes  and  traditional  safe  deposit boxes are in the vault. Soon to come is a
computer  to  be  set up in the lobby to allow customers access to their account
through  the  internet.
The  staff  of  this  office includes experienced banking professionals, many of
whom  are  from  the  Rochester  Area.
In  addition  to the traditional members of a branch team, there is a Commercial
Lender  to  provide  local businesses with the services they desire. The Webster
office  offers  extended  banking  hours of 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through
Wednesday,  8:30  a.m.  - 6:00 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and 9:00 a.m. - 1:00
p.m.  on  Saturday.
Each  of  the  initiatives at this location is intended to increase the level of
value-added  service  to  the customer and to continue our commitment to provide
our  customers  with  the  most  comprehensive  array  of  financial  services.

Committees.  These  functions  are  performed by the following committees of The
Canandaigua  National  Bank  and  Trust  Company:

  The  Examining  Committee consists of five (5) Directors who are not employees

Members  of  the  Committee  are:

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

be  made  and  ascertains  whether  an adequate review of all the assets in each
trust  has  been  made.

recommendations  on officers' titles and salaries for the upcoming year are made
to  the  Board  of  Directors  for  approval.

Directors  each  year.  Members  of  the  Committee  are  as  follows:

  In  addition,  the  Board  will  consider  recommendations  submitted  by

full-time  employment  with  the  company.

  Compensation  for  the  executive  officers 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.  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.  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  1998 the stockholders approved a Stock Option Plan.  No stock options were
awarded  or  exercised  during  1998.

                                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.
