1.) Management Representation:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1999. 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, 1998.
2.) Reclassifications:
Certain items contained in the 1998 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the presentation for 1999. Such reclassifications
had no effect on the net results of operations.
3.) Investment Securities:
Securities classified as held to maturity are those that management has
the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities held to maturity
are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts, with such amortization or accretion included in interest income.
Securities classified as available for sale are those that could be
sold for liquidity, investment management, or similar reasons even though
management has no present intentions to do so. Securities available for sale are
carried at fair value using the specific identification method. Changes in the
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are recorded net of
tax effect as a component of comprehensive income.
Trading securities are principally held with the intention of selling
in the near term. Trading securities are carried at fair value with changes in
fair value reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

4.) Concentration of Credit Risk and Off Balance Sheet Risk:
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Such instruments involve,
to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized
on the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments
reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of
financial instruments.
In the event of nonperformance by the other party, the Company's
exposure to credit loss on these financial instruments is represented by the
contract or notional amount of the instrument. The Company uses the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
instruments recorded on the balance sheet. The amount and nature of collateral
obtained, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation.

Standby letters of credit 257 328
</TABLE>
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Commitments
to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract. Generally these
financial arrangements have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are expected
to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The following shows the amounts of contractual interest income and
interest income actually reflected in income on loans accounted for on a
nonaccrual basis and loans considered troubled debt restructuring as of June 30,
1999.
Gross interest income that would have been recorded if the loans had been
current in accordance with their original terms $160
Interest income actually included in income on the loans 36
A loan is placed on a nonaccrual basis whenever sufficient information
is received to question the collectibility of the loan or any time legal
proceedings are initiated involving a loan. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual
status, any interest that has been accrued and not collected on the loan is
charged against earnings. Cash payments received while a loan is classified as
nonaccrual are recorded as a reduction to principal or reported as interest
income according to management's judgement as to collectibility of principal.
Impaired loans are generally included in nonaccrual loans. Management
does not individually evaluate certain smaller balance loans for impairment as
such loans are evaluated on an aggregate basis. These loans include 1 - 4
family, consumer and home equity loans. Impaired loans were evaluated using the
fair value of collateral as the measurement method. At June 30, 1999, the
recorded investment in impaired loans was $533 while the related portion of the
allowance for loan losses was $64.
As of June 30, 1999, there were $1,494 in loans, not included in the
above categories and not considered impaired, but which can be considered
potential problem loans.
Any loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful,
substandard, or special mention that have not been disclosed above do not (i)
represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably
expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital
resources, or (ii) represent material credits about which management is aware of
any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability
of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

For each of the periods presented above, the provision for loan losses
charged to operations is based on management's judgment after taking into
consideration all known factors connected with the collectibility of the
existing portfolio. Management evaluates the portfolio in light of economic
conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, industry
standards and other relevant factors. Specific factors considered by management
in determining the amounts charged to operations include previous loan loss
experience, the status of past due interest and principal payments, the
anticipated impact of Year 2000 problems on certain commercial customers, the
quality of financial information supplied by customers and the general economic
condition present in the lending area of the Company's bank subsidiary.

5.) Legal Proceedings:
The Company's subsidiary bank was a defendant in a class action lawsuit
FRANK SLENTZ, ET AL. v. CORTLAND SAVINGS AND BANKING COMPANY, involving
purchased interests in two campgrounds.
On October 20, 1997 the judge presiding over this case filed a judgment
entry dismissing all claims against the Bank without prejudice. The judgment was
appealed by the plaintiffs. On March 2, 1999, the United States Court of Appeals
for the Sixth Circuit affirmed the decision of the district court to grant
summary judgment in favor of the defendant Bank. The plaintiffs have the right
to appeal to the United States Supreme court. Plaintiffs have also filed a
similar suit in the Common Pleas Court of Trumbull County. Accordingly, the
ultimate outcome of this litigation presently cannot be determined, and
therefore no provision for any liability relative to such litigation has been
made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Bank is also involved in other legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these
matters is not expected to have any material effect on the Company.

- ----------------------------------------------------------
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------------
(Dollars in thousands)
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the financial
condition and results of operations of Cortland Bancorp (the "Company"). The
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
- -----------------------------------------
In addition to historical information contained herein, the following
discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Economic circumstances, the Company's operations and actual
results could differ significantly from those discussed in any forward-looking
statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences are changes in the economy and interest rates either nationally or
in the Company's market area; increased competitive pressures or changes in
either the nature or composition of competitors; changes in the legal and
regulatory environment; changes in factors influencing liquidity such as
expectations regarding the rate of inflation or deflation, currency exchange
rates, and other factors influencing market volatility; unforeseen risks
associated with the Year 2000 issue and other global economic and financial
factors.
Liquidity
- ---------
The central role of the Company's liquidity management is to (1) ensure
sufficient liquid funds to meet the normal transaction requirements of its
customers, (2) take advantage of market opportunities requiring flexibility and
speed, and (3) provide a cushion against unforeseen liquidity needs.
Principal sources of liquidity for the Company include assets
considered relatively liquid, such as interest-bearing deposits in other banks,
federal funds sold, cash and due from banks, as well as cash flows from
maturities and repayments of loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed
securities.
Along with its liquid assets, the Company has other sources of
liquidity available to it which help to ensure that adequate funds are available
as needed. These other sources include, but are not limited to, the ability to
obtain deposits through the adjustment of interest rates, the purchasing of
federal funds, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and
access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

(Dollars in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents decreased compared to year end 1998.
Operating activities provided cash of $3,040 and $1,417 during the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Refer to the Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flows for a summary of the sources and uses of cash for June 30, 1999
and 1998.
Capital Resources
- -----------------
The capital management function is a continuous process which consists
of providing capital for both the current financial position and the anticipated
future growth of the Company. Central to this process is internal equity
generation, particularly through earnings retention. Internal capital generation
is measured as the annualized rate of return on equity, exclusive of any
appreciation or depreciation relating to available for sale securities,
multiplied by the percentage of earnings retained. Internal capital generation
was 7.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to 8.5% for the
like period during 1998. Overall during the first six months of 1999, capital
grew at the annual rate of 3.8%, a figure which reflects earnings, dividends
paid, common stock issued, treasury shares purchased and the net change in the
estimated fair value of available for sale securities.
During the first six months of 1999, the Company repurchased 4,834
shares of common stock from the subsidiary bank's 401-k Plan and issued 34,745
additional shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of $815. Of the
34,745 shares issued, 29,358 shares were issued through the Company's dividend
reinvestment plan. The remaining 5,387 shares were issued through the subsidiary
bank's 401-k Plan, which offers employees the opportunity to invest in the
common stock of the Company as one of several participant directed investment
alternatives.
Risk-based standards for measuring capital adequacy require banks and
bank holding companies to maintain capital based on "risk-adjusted" assets.
Categories of assets with potentially higher credit risk require more capital
than assets with lower risk. In addition, banks and bank holding companies are
required to maintain capital to support, on a risk-adjusted basis, certain
off-balance sheet activities such as standby letters of credit and interest rate
swaps.

(Dollars in thousands)
These standards also classify capital into two tiers, referred to as
Tier 1 and Tier 2. The Company's Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders'
equity (excluding any gain or loss on available for sale debt securities) less
intangible assets and the net unrealized loss on equity securities with readily
determinable fair values. Tier 2 capital is the allowance for loan and lease
losses reduced for certain regulatory limitations. Risk based capital standards
require a minimum ratio of 8% of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted total
assets with at least 4% constituting Tier 1 capital. Capital qualifying as Tier
2 capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital. All banks and bank holding
companies are also required to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio (Tier 1
capital to total average assets) in the range of 3% to 4%, subject to regulatory
guidelines.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
(FDICIA) required banking regulatory agencies to revise risk-based capital
standards to ensure that they adequately account for the following additional
risks: interest rate, concentration of credit, and nontraditional activities.
Accordingly, regulators will subjectively consider an institution's exposure to
declines in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates
in evaluating capital adequacy.
The table below illustrates the Company's risk weighted capital ratios
at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

Assets, less intangibles and the net unrealized market value adjustment
of investment securities available for sale, averaged $399,647 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and $395,076 for the year ended December 31, 1998.
First Six Months of 1999 as Compared to First Six Months of 1998
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
During the first six months of 1999, net interest income after
provision for loan losses increased by $30 compared to the first six months of
1998. Total interest income decreased by $639 or 4.4% from the level recorded in
1998. This was accompanied by a decrease in interest expense of $569 or 8.7% and
a decrease in provision for loan loss of $100 or 50%.
The average rate paid on interest sensitive liabilities declined by 41
basis points year-over-year. The average balance of interest sensitive
liabilities increased by $2,382 or 0.8%. Compared to the first half of last
year, average borrowings, primarily with the Federal Home Loan Bank, increased
by $5,315 while the average rate paid on borrowings declined 51 basis points,
from 5.72% to 5.21%. Average interest bearing demand deposits, savings and money
market accounts increased by $2,162, $1,968 and $964, even as the average rate
paid on these products declined by 23, 20 and 30 basis points respectively.
Offsetting these increases was an $8,028 decrease in time deposits, where the
average rate paid declined 47 basis points, from 5.73% to 5.26%.
Interest and dividend income on securities registered a nominal
decrease of $368 or 6.4% during the first six months of 1999 when compared to
1998, while on a fully taxable equivalent basis income on securities declined by
$234 or 3.9%. The average invested balances increased by 0.8%, increasing by
$1,373 over the levels of a year ago. The increase in the average balance of
investment securities was accompanied by a 31 basis point decline in the taxable
equivalent yield of the portfolio.
Interest and fees on loans decreased by $262 for the first six months
of 1999 compared to 1998. A $5,997 increase in the average balance of the loan
portfolio, or 3.2%, was accompanied by a 50 basis point decline in the
portfolio's taxable equivalent yield.
Other interest income decreased by $9 from the same period a year ago.
The average balance of Federal Funds sold increased by $283. The yield decreased
by 76 basis points reflecting the change in Federal Reserve policy implemented
during the latter half of 1998. The yield on Federal Funds sold is expected to
increase during the second half of 1999 as the Federal Reserve increased the
targeted Federal Funds rate by 25 basis points on June 30, 1999.

(Dollars in thousands)
Other income from all sources decreased by $94 from the same period a
year ago. Gains on 1-4 residential mortgage loans in the secondary mortgage
market increased by $49 from the same period a year ago, reflecting favorable
market conditions and an increased allocation of resources to this activity.
Gains on securities called and gains on the sale of available for sale
investment securities showed a decrease of $60 from year ago levels. Fees for
other customer services decreased by $59, mainly due to the sale of the bank
subsidiary's credit card portfolio in the fourth quarter of 1998, while other
sources of non recurring non-interest income decreased by $24 from the same
period a year ago.
Loan charge-offs during the first six months were $195 in 1999 and $101
in 1998, while the recovery of previously charged-off loans amounted to $39 in
1999 compared to $43 in 1998. A provision for loan loss of $100 was charged to
operations in 1999, compared to $200 charged in 1998. At June 30, 1999, the loan
loss allowance of $2,999 represented approximately 1.5% of outstanding loans.
Non accrual loans at June 30, 1999 represented 1.3% of the loan portfolio
compared to 1.4% at December 31, 1998 and 0.9% a year ago.
Total other expenses in the first six months were $5,205 in 1999
compared to $5,143 in 1998, an increase of $62 or 1.2%. Full time equivalent
employment during the first six months averaged 180 employees in 1999, a 3.2%
decline from the 186 in the same quarter of 1998. Salaries and benefits
increased by $45 compared to the similar period a year ago.
For the first six months of 1999, state and local taxes decreased by $6
or 2.1%. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $32, or 3.5%, reflecting
the increased expense of the newly constructed facility at Mantua Corners which
opened in the fourth quarter of 1998, the cost of continued Y2K readiness
preparation, and the opening of the Company's newest banking office in May of
1999. All other expense categories decreased by 0.8% or $9 as a group.
Income before income tax expense amounted to $3,305 for the first six
months of 1999 compared to $3,431 for the similar period of 1998 reflecting an
increased allocation of investment funds to the tax advantaged municipal sector.
The effective tax rate for the first six months was 25.9% in 1999 compared to
28.9% in 1998, resulting in income tax expense of $856 and $991, respectively.
Net income for the first six months registered $2,449 in 1999 compared to $2,440
in 1998, representing per share amounts of $0.68 in 1999 and $0.69 in 1998.

Second Quarter of 1999 as compared to Second Quarter 1998
- ---------------------------------------------------------
During the second quarter of 1999 net interest income after provision for
loan losses increased by $14 as compared to second quarter 1998. Average earning
assets increased by 2.6% while average interest-bearing liabilities increased by
1.7%. Average loans exhibited growth of 0.8%, while average investments
increased by 5.3%.
The tax equivalent yield on earning assets decreased by 43 basis points
from the same quarter a year ago. The tax equivalent yield of the investment
portfolio measured 6.3%, a 28 basis point decline from the same quarter a year
ago, while the loan portfolio yielded 8.6%, down 52 basis points from last
year's rate. Meanwhile, the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased
41 basis points compared to a year ago. The net effect of these changes was that
the tax equivalent net interest margin declined to 4.3%, a decrease of 7 basis
points from that achieved during last year's second quarter.
Loans decreased by $239 during the period. Loans as a percentage of earning
assets stood at 50.8% as of June 30, 1999 as compared to 51.8% on June 30, 1998.
The loan to deposit ratio at the end of the first six months of 1999 was 61.3%
compared to 61.5% at the end of the same period a year ago. The investment
portfolio represented 59.8% of each deposit dollar, up from 56.9% a year ago.
Loan charge-offs during the second quarter were $119 in 1999 and $57 in
1998, while the recovery of previously charged-off loans amounted to $12 during
the second quarter of 1999 compared to $18 in the same period of 1998.
Other income for the quarter decreased by $36 or 8.l% compared to the same
period a year ago. The continued favorable mortgage rate environment was
evidenced by a net gain on sales of loans of $38, matching the $38 generated a
year ago. Net gains on investment and trading securities transactions netted $2,
while a $7 gain was recorded in 1998.
Total other expenses in the second quarter were $2,661 in 1999 and $2,604
in 1998, an increase of $57 or 2.2%. Employee salaries and benefits increased by
$68 or 5.0%. Occupancy and equipment expense remained relatively stable, with a
$1 decrease. Other expenses as a group decreased by $10 or 1.3% compared to the
same period last year.
Income before tax for the quarter decreased by 4.6% to $1,655 in 1999 from
the $1,734 recorded in 1998. Net income for the quarter of $1,229 represented a
0.6% decrease from the $1,237 earned a year ago.

Year 2000
- ---------
In 1997, Cortland Bancorp established a "Year 2000 (Y2K) project management
team" to provide a structured format for thoroughly addressing the Year 2000
problem. The project team's mission is to ensure that the Company's operation is
not adversely impacted by systemic errors arising from calculations using the
year 2000 date. At this time the Company expects to expend $650 on its Year 2000
program. It is anticipated that approximately 65% of these costs comprise
capital expenditures for normal lifecycle replacement/upgrades for the Company's
information systems, 20% represent capital expenditures directly associated with
Year 2000, and the remaining 15% embrace consulting, testing and other
miscellaneous Year 2000 expenses. The Company does not separately track the
internal costs incurred for the Y2K project, such as payroll costs for its
project management team, as these costs are considered immaterial. The Y2K
project team has been entirely staffed with existing personnel. It is
anticipated that costs associated with the Year 2000 project will not have a
material adverse impact on net income. To date, the Company has spent
approximately $453 on it's Year 2000 project. The Company expects to expend an
additional $197 by December 31, 1999 to ensure Y2K readiness.
In conjunction with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
Interagency Statement, the Company has outlined key phases, and important
aspects, essential for effective Year 2000 project management. An overview of
these phases and their completion status are as follows:
AWARENESS (100% COMPLETE): Outline the Year 2000 problem, gaining executive
level support for the resources to perform compliance work. Establish a Year
2000 project team and develop an overall plan to perform Y2K compliance work
that encompasses vendors, customers, suppliers, correspondent banks, service
bureaus, The Federal Reserve, insurance providers, manufacturers and
distributors of information systems and related equipment.
ASSESSMENT (100% COMPLETE): Assess the size and complexity of the
problem and detail the magnitude of the effort necessary to address Year 2000
issues. Identify all hardware, software, networks, ATM's, and other various
platforms, as well as customer and vendor interdependencies affected by the Year
2000 date change. The assessment includes environmental systems that are
dependent on embedded microchips, such as security equipment, elevators,
voice/data telecommunications and vaults.

(Dollars in thousands)
RENOVATION (100% COMPLETE): This phase includes hardware and software
upgrades, system replacements, vendor certifications, and other associated
changes deemed necessary to assure Y2K compliance.
VALIDATION (100% COMPLETE): This stage includes the testing of
incremental changes to hardware and software components. In addition to testing
upgraded components, connections with other systems are verified and system
performance evaluated utilizing a variety of key sensitive dates. The Company
has completed the development of test and validation methodologies, and tested
critical subsystems.
IMPLEMENTATION (95% COMPLETE): Mission critical systems must be
certified as Year 2000 compliant and accepted by the Company. Any noncompliant
mission critical system will be brought to the attention of executive management
immediately for resolution. The Company has formulated contingency plans in the
event that critical applications are determined to be inoperable on or near the
year 2000. These contingency plans are labor intensive and would result in
additional payroll expense until the functionality of the mission critical
applications are restored. For any system failing certification, the business
effect will be assessed and the organization's Year 2000 contingency plans
activated.
The Company's personnel are also actively educating and alerting
customers to potential Y2K issues and problems. Loan review personnel have
conducted surveys and made inquiries of key loan customers as to their Y2K
readiness to determine whether any additional provisions to the allowance for
loan loss are required. As of June 30, 1999, no additional provisions were
required.
Due to the scope and magnitude of the Year 2000 project, the Company
has designed an extensive monitoring process to oversee the completion of the
Year 2000 project with results presented to the Board of Directors on a
quarterly basis. The Company and its bank subsidiary are also regulated by the
Federal Reserve and the State of Ohio, who periodically review the Company's Y2K
readiness, and who have the power and authority to issue sanctions to enforce
Y2K compliance.

(Dollars in thousands)
Ultimate success is dependent upon the cooperation and ability of
vendors, customers and all levels of government and governmental agencies to
meet the Y2K challenge. The problem is truly global in nature, and its
successful resolution depends upon everyone, everywhere, doing their part. It is
recognized that the failure of any of these parties to achieve Year 2000
compliance could result in material additional expense to the Company, including
possible litigation. The Company currently believes that the reasonably "worst
case" Y2K scenario involves the failure of utilities and governments to achieve
Y2K compliance, causing a general disruption of commerce resulting in a material
increase in nonperforming loans and credit losses, accompanied by a lack of
liquidity due to financial market dysfunctions. The Company's net income would
be adversely impacted by increased operating costs, additional collection and
foreclosure expense and the effects of a compressed net interest margin. The
Company maintains capital levels significantly in excess of regulatory minimum
guidelines as additional protection in the event of such "worst case" scenarios.

New Accounting Standards
- ------------------------
In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (SFAS) No. 133
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This standard is
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
Management does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
(Dollars in thousands)
Management considers interest rate risk to be the Company's principal
source of market risk. Since December 31, 1998, short term interest rates, as
measured by U. S. Treasury securities with maturities of one year or less, have
increased by 25 to 50 basis points, reflecting an expectation of monetary
tightening on the part of the Federal Reserve. Indeed, the Federal Reserve did
hike short-term rates by 25 basis points on June 30th. Meanwhile, intermediate
and long term interest rates, as measured by U. S. Treasury securities with
maturities of two or more years, have increased by approximately 90-120 basis
points reflecting above average growth in the U. S. economy, tight labor markets
and improved conditions in global financial markets and foreign economies.
During that same time period, the Company's subsidiary bank experienced a
modest decline of 2.7% in it's loan portfolio with funds being shifted to the
investment portfolio. Meanwhile, more expensive time deposit liabilities were
replaced with less expensive Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and growth in
traditional checking and passbook savings products.
The net effect of these changes had minimal effect on the Company's risk
position. When these changes are incorporated into the Company's risk analysis,
simulated results for an unchanged rate environment indicate a $160 increase in
net interest income for the twelve month horizon subsequent to June 30, 1999,
compared to the simulated results for a similar twelve month horizon subsequent
to December 31, 1998. The Company's sensitivity to a declining rate environment
is basically unchanged. The Company's sensitivity to an increasing rate
environment, however, has heightened as customers have increasingly moved out of
variable rate product and into fixed rate product. Management has also sought to
extend portfolio duration to guard against the effects of a protracted low rate
environment. Management expects that the decrease in anticipated net interest
income under the rising rate environment will be partially offset by similar
declines in operating expense and loan loss provision requirements due to the
decline in loan volume. The table on the next page displays simulated results.

The level of interest rate risk indicated remains within limits that
management considers acceptable. However, given that interest rate movements can
be sudden and unanticipated, and are increasingly influenced by global events
