                    Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)


(1)     Basis  of  Presentation
        -----------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared  in  accordance  with  the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X  and  with  generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information.  Such  principles are applied on a basis consistent with
those  reflected  in the December 31, 1999 Form 10-K Report of the Company filed
with  the  Securities  and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include
all  of  the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  Management  has  prepared the
financial  information  included  herein  without audit by independent certified
public  accountants.  In  the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of  normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been  included.  Operating  results  for  the three-month period ended March 31,
2000  is  not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year  ending  December  31,  2000.  For  further  information,  refer  to  the
consolidated  financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in  the
Company's  annual  report  on  Form  10-K  for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Amounts  in  prior  periods'  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements are
reclassified whenever necessary to conform with the current year's presentation.


(2)     Dividends  Per  Share
        ---------------------

The  Company  declared a semi-annual $5.95 per share dividend on common stock on
January 12, 2000, payable February 1, 2000 to shareholders of record January 12,
2000.

(3)     Earnings  Per  Share
        --------------------

Basic  earnings  per common share is calculated by dividing net income available
to  common  shareholders  by  the  weighted average number of shares outstanding
during  the  period.  Diluted  earnings  per share includes the maximum dilutive
effect of stock issueable upon conversion of stock options. Calculations for the
three  month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 follow (dollars in thousands,
except  share  data):

(4)     Stock  Option  Plan
        -------------------

The  Company's incentive stock option program for employees authorizes grants of
options  to  purchase  up  to  16,000 shares of common stock.  At its March 2000
meeting,  the  Board  of  Directors  granted,  effective  January 1, 2000, 1,486
non-qualified  options  to management under the Company's incentive compensation
plan  for  1999's  performance.  The options were granted with an exercise price
equal  to  the  estimated fair value of the common stock on the grant date.  The
options  are exerciseable at varying times up to sixteen years.  The options are
fully  vested  and  generally  expire  at  the  holder's  retirement.

The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by
APB  Opinion  No.  25,  "Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  to  Employees"  for its
stock-based  compensation  plans.  Accordingly,  no  compensation  cost has been
recognized  for  its  stock  options  in the condensed consolidated statement of
income.  Had compensation cost been determined using the fair value at the grant
date  for  stock  option awards, consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the
Company's  net  income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro
forma  amounts  indicated  below  (dollars  in  thousands,  except  share data):

Item  2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of  Operations
     March  31,  2000

The  following  is  management's  discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors  which  have  affected  the  Company's  financial position and operating
results  during  the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial  statements.  Management's  discussion  and  analysis  supplements
management's  discussion  and  analysis  for  the  year  ended December 31, 1999
contained  in  the Company's Form 10-K and includes certain known trends, events
and  uncertainties that are reasonably expected to have a material effect on the
Company's  financial  position  or  operating  results.


Overview
- --------

The  first  quarter  of  2000  marks  the  one year anniversary of the Company's
accelerated  expansion  into  the  Monroe County area, which includes these main
components  (1)  expansion  of retail customer service delivery, (2) increase in
the  number  commercial  services  staff,  (3) expansion of Trust and Investment
services  and  (4)  increasing  brand  awareness  in  the  marketplace.

The  results  of  this  expansion have been positive.  Comparing the three month
period  ended  March  31 2000 with the same period in 1999, the Company showed a
28.8%  increase  in  interest  earning assets, 25.6% increase in deposits, 18.8%
increase  in  operating  revenue  (net interest income plus other income), and a
5.3%  increase  in  net  income.  The  book  value  of  trust  assets  under
administration  grew  during  this  same  period  by  39.8%.

Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations
- --------------------------------------------------

Assets grew in the first quarter, continuing the trend set in 1999.  As of March
31,  2000,  total  assets  of  the  Company  were $556.5 million, up from $522.1
million  at  year end 1999. Cash and equivalents decreased $1.6 million to $25.2
million,  resulting  from  the  Company's  reduced  holdings  following its cash
reserve  buildup  for  the  century date changeover.  Securities increased $14.0
million  to  $89.9 million to allow for collateralization of municipal deposits.
Net  loans  increased $20.2 million to $414.4 million, and all other assets rose
$1.8  million  to  $27.0 million, reflective of earning asset and branch network
growth.

Total  deposits  at March 31, 2000 were $481.0 million and were up $26.7 million
from  December  31, 1999. The newest six offices contributed $7.0 million of the
quarter's  deposit  growth.  In  addition,  the  Company  sold  $13.7 million of
nationally  marketed  time  deposits.  For the same period borrowings (primarily
from  the  FHLB)  were  up  $7.6  million  to  $29.8 million.  Other liabilities
increased  by  $0.5  million  to  $3.6  million.  The increase in borrowings and
nationally  marketed deposits was made to fund the quarter's loan and investment
growth.  Overall  deposit growth in 2000 is coming in interest-bearing accounts.
Consumers  tend  to  increase  balances  in interest bearing accounts as general
interest  rates  rise versus leaving excess funds in non-interest bearing demand
accounts.

For  the  three  months  ending March 31, 2000, average interest earning assets,
increased $95.1 million to $488.3 million from $393.2 million for the 1999 first
quarter.  The  yields  on  these  assets were 7.71% and 7.57%, respectively; the
increase resulting from an overall rise in general interest rates, following the
Federal  Reserve  Board's rate increases in the last half of 1999.  For the same
periods,  average interest bearing liabilities increased $88.5 million to $415.1
million  from  $326.6.  Rates  paid  on  these liabilities were 3.95% and 3.69%,
respectively,  also  reflecting  rate  increases.  This  12  basis point drop in
interest spread had a $.1 million negative impact on net interest income for the
quarter  ended  March  31,  2000.  The  growth  in  interest earnings assets and
interest  bearing liabilities had a $1.0 million positive impact on net interest
income.  In the first quarter of 2000 the Company's net interest margin declined
to  4.36%  from 4.51% for the same quarter in 1999.  This declining trend in net
interest  margin  is  expected  to continue through 2000 as market interest rate
increases  will  drive  up  the  Company's  funding  costs faster than its asset
yields.  Refer  to  Interest  Rate  Sensitivity and Asset / Liability Management
Review  section  for  a  further  discussion  of  interest rate risk management.
                                      Page  8
<PAGE>

Other  income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased $.2 million to $1.9
million  over  the  same quarter in 1999.  The increase was reflected in service
charges--attributed  to  increased transaction volume and the number of customer
accounts  and trust income-attributed to growth in assets under management.  Net
gain  on the sale of mortgage loans and other operating income declined for 2000
as  a  result  of  a  reduction in mortgage banking operations due to the rising
interest rate environment compared to 1999.  Considering the increasing interest
rate  environment,  management anticipates lower mortgage banking income in 2000
than  in  1999.
Operating  expenses  increased $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
to  $6.1  million  versus $5.1 million for the 1999 first quarter.  The increase
came in nearly all expense categories, reflecting growth in customers, employees
and  banking  offices.
The  Company's  effective  tax rate was 27.3% in 2000 versus 32.1% in 1999.  The
reduction  in  the  tax rate is due to an increase in the non-taxable investment
income  from  a  larger  average portfolio balance ($45.9 million in 2000 versus
$38.2  million  in  1999)

Liquidity
- ---------

The  Board of Directors has set general liquidity standards for the Bank to meet
which  can be summarized 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 quarter
ended  March  31, 2000 the Company used $1.6 million in net cash and equivalents
versus  generating  $1.6  million  for  the  same  quarter in 1999.  The overall
decrease  in  cash and equivalents in 2000 is related to a reduction in built-up
cash  reserves associated with the century date change.  The Company held excess
currency  for  the  benefit  of  its  customers.

Net  cash  used  in operating activities was $0.4 million in 2000.  In the first
quarter  of  1999  the Company generated $0.7 million from operating activities.
Both the largest source and use of operating cash in 1999 and 1998 were mortgage
banking  activity.  However,  activity  in  2000  was  less than half of 1999's,
reflecting  a  slow  down  in  the  mortgage  banking  business.

Cash  used  by  investing  activities  increased  substantially in 2000 to $34.5
million  from  $2.3  million in 1999.  The increase in investing activities came
from  a  combination  of  investment  and loan growth. The Company's fixed asset
investing  activities  continued  as  future  offices  are  under  renovation.

Cash  provided  by financing activities was $33.3 million in 2000 versus of $3.1
million  in  1999.  Deposits  continue  to  be  the  Company's  main  source  of
financing,  with  borrowings  contributing  a  lesser  amount.

The  Company  has two primary sources of non-customer (wholesale) liquidity: the
Federal  Home  Loan  Bank of New York (FHLB) and the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York.  At  March  31,  2000  residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of
approximately  $42.3  million  were  pledged  as collateral for the Bank's $29.5
million advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Approximately $8.3 million was
available  for  additional borrowing.  Indirect automobile loans with a carrying
value  of  approximately  $40.1  million  were pledged as collateral for a $32.0
million  line  of  credit  from  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  of  New  York.

Secondarily,  the Company has a liquidity source through the sale of its CD's in
the  national  brokered market.  This source is used from time to time to manage
both  liquidity  and  interest  rate  risk  as  conditions  may  require.

For  the  remainder  of 2000, financing for growth is expected to come from both
customer  and  wholesale sources.  Customer deposit growth is mainly expected to
come  from  Monroe  County  sources.

Interest  Rate  Sensitivity  and  Asset  /  Liability  Management  Review
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Item  3  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 is composed of members of 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  and  brokered  CD's.
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 over a twelve month period. 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.
There has been no significant change in the Company's interest rate risk profile
since  December  31,  1999.  Net interest earnings projections reflect a decline
when  applying  the  expected  rising  interest rate environment as of March 31,
2000.

Management  also  uses  the  static  gap  analysis  to  identify  and manage the
Company's  interest  rate  risk  profile.   Interest  sensitivity  gap  ("gap")
analysis measures the difference between the assets and liabilities repricing or
maturing  within  specific time periods. There has been no significant change in
this  measurement  since  December  31,  1999.

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.

                                                                        Page  10
<PAGE>


As  of  March  31,  2000,  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.  However, the Bank's asset
growth in 2000 is anticipated to exceed its capital formation, which will result
in a continuing trend towards declining capital ratios.  Management will closely
monitor  capital  levels  at  the  Bank.

</TABLE>



The  increase in the provision for loan losses from first quarter of 1999 to the
first  quarter  of  2000 is related to the growth in the loan portfolio.  During
the  first quarter of 1999, net loans increased $1.6 million, while in the first
quarter  of  2000,  net  loans  increased  $19.3  million.

At March 31, 2000, the recorded investment in loans that are considered impaired
totaled  $2.7  million as compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 1999 and $1.9
million  at  March  31, 1999.  The average recorded investment in impaired loans
during  the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were approximately
$2.4  million  and  $2.0 million, respectively.  For those same periods interest
income  recognized  on  impaired  loans  was  not  material.

Total  non-performing  loans  increased  over  the  twelve  month period by $0.9
million  to  $3.1 million at March 31, 2000 as compared to $2.2 million at March
31,  1999. The increase has come primarily from commercial real estate loans and
mainly attributable to one relationship.  The borrower's loans are fully secured
by  real  estate.  Management  expects these loans will be brought to performing
status.  Even  with  an  increase  in  non-accrual  loans,  non-performing loans
represent only .73% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2000 as compared to
 .70%  at  March  31,  1999.

At  March  31,  2000, other real estate owned consisted of three commercial real
estate  parcels,  totaling  $1.6  million.  This compares to six commercial real
estate  parcels  totaling  $1.6 million at March 31, 1999.  Management continues
efforts  to  liquidate  these  assets.
