NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
HUDSON CHARTERED BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Merger
Hudson Chartered Bancorp, Inc. was formed effective September 30,
1994 upon the merger of Fishkill National Corporation and
Community Bancorp, Inc. ( merger ). All 1994 comparative amounts
reflect the pooling of interests accounting for the merger. Also
in accordance with this method, merger related costs are expensed
as incurred.
Basis of Presentation
As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
accompanying unaudited and condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes have been condensed and, therefore, do not
contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. See the notes to the financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1994.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position as of
September 30, 1995 and the consolidated results of operations for
the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 1995 and
1994 and the consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994.
The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.
The Company's consolidated revenues are primarily derived from
its commercial banking subsidiary, The First National Bank of the
Hudson Valley (the "Bank"). At September 30, 1995, the Bank had
total assets of $678,745,000 and total stockholder s equity of
$50,362,000, compared, respectively, to $640,815,000 and
$47,108,000 in total assets and total stockholder s equity at
December 31, 1994. Net income of the Bank included in
consolidated equity was $4,917,000 and $3,191,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Material intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Accounting for Impairment of a Loan
As of January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting for Impairment
of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures.
This statement requires recognition of the impairment of a loan
when it is probable that either principal and/or interest are not
collectible in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.
Measurement of the impairment is based on the present value of
9<PAGE>
expected cash flows discounted at the loan s effective rate or,
as a practical expedient, at the loan s observable market price
or the fair value of the collateral. Implementation of SFAS 114
did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
Prior to 1995, the allowance for loan losses related to impaired
loans was based on undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of
the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The Company
recognizes interest income on impaired loans primarily on the
cash basis method.
At September 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are
considered to be impaired under SFAS 114 was $4.3 million (all of
which loans were in nonaccrual status). Each impaired loan is
either reduced to the value of its collateral or has a related
allowance for credit loss, in accordance with bank policy, to
reflect the risk of loss to the Bank. The total allowance for
loan losses related to these impaired loans was $860,000 as of
September 30, 1995. The average recorded investment in impaired
loans for the period ended September 30, 1995 was approximately
$4.4 million. For the period ending September 30, 1995, interest
income recognized by the Company on impaired loans was not
material.
Pending Pronouncement
In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement No. 122 Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights (SFAS 122). Such statement allows banks to report
originated mortgage servicing rights as assets on the balance
sheet. Such asset would be reported as the present value of
estimated future net cash flows related to servicing mortgages
for secondary market investors.
The Company has not, at this point, elected early adoption of
SFAS No. 122 and, accordingly, has not recorded an asset related
to originated mortgage servicing rights. The Company has sold
$29 million in loans in 1995 into the secondary market and
retained servicing income rights related to such loans at
approximately .25% per annum. The servicing income related to
such loans sold will be recorded in the statement of income and
expense as earned. Had the Company recorded the value of such
servicing rights as an asset, other income would have increased
in 1995 for the value of such rights. However, future income
related to the amounts recorded would be correspondingly reduced.
SFAS No. 122 must be implemented by January 1, 1996 and can only
be applied on a prospective basis. In addition, the value of
such servicing rights, when recorded, must be re-evaluated for
impairment on a quarterly basis and a valuation reserve must be
established when the then fair market value of such rights
recorded is lower than the recorded amounts.
Recent Developments
In October 1995, FASB discussed transition guidance for its
Special Report Question and Answer Guidance on Implementation of
SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities to be issued in the fourth quarter of 1995.
As part of this guidance, it is likely that companies may be able
to reassess classifications of securities between Available for
10<PAGE>
Sale and Held to Maturity. Reclassifications from Held to
Maturity that result from this one-time reassessment would not
call into question the intent of the enterprise to hold other
debt securities to maturity in the future. The Company intends
to perform the reassessment, if and when the Special Report
permits, presumably prior to December 31, 1995. As a result,
certain securities currently classified as Held to Maturity may
be reclassified as Available for Sale. The Company may also
choose to sell a number of these securities and realize the gain
or loss on such sale. The carrying cost of all Held to Maturity
securities is $85,134,000 and the market value is $86,098,000 as
of September 30, 1995.

</TABLE>
In September 1995, the Company conformed the presentations of the
separate loan portfolios of the predecessors to the Bank. As a
result, $20.7 million of loans previously classified as
commercial and industrial were reclassified as real estate-
mortgage and $1.6 million of loans were similarly reclassified
as real estate-construction . In addition, the Company sold
$29 million of previously originated long-term fixed rate
residential mortgages.

</TABLE>
At September 30, 1995 the net unrealized gain on Securities
Available for Sale (net of tax effect of $91,000) included as a
separate component of stockholders equity was $126,000.
As a result of the merger in 1994, certain securities classified
as Available for Sale when acquired were transferred to the Held
to Maturity portfolio. The securities were transferred at their
estimated fair value of $71,468,000 on the dates transferred.
The difference between the amortized cost and fair value on the
transfer date aggregated $(1,637,000) or $(953,000) after tax.
The difference is being amortized over the remaining term of the
securities. The remaining unamortized loss on September 30, 1995
(net of tax effect of $514,000) included in the separate
component of stockholders equity was $710,000.

The net dilutive effect of stock options outstanding for primary
earnings per share was based on the Treasury stock method using
average market price. The net dilutive effect of stock options
outstanding for fully diluted earnings per share was based on the
Treasury stock method using the greater of the quarter end or
average market price.
APB Opinion 15 states that when there are antidilutive effects of
common stock equivalents, such
effect should not be reported. Therefore, fully diluted earnings
(loss) per share for three months and nine months ended 1994 are
the same as primary earnings (loss) per share.

Stockholders' Equity
The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
$.01 par value, which the Board of Directors is authorized to
divide into series. The Board is also authorized to fix the
rights and preferences of any series so established. The Series
A and Series B described below are a portion of the shares
authorized.
On January 15, 1994, the Company redeemed all the issued and
outstanding shares of its 10% cumulative perpetual preferred
stock, Series A, at its original issue and liquidation price of
$100 per share. This transaction reduced the equity capital of
the Company by $805,000.
The cumulative convertible perpetual preferred stock, Series B,
is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common
stock at $14.25 per share of common stock, approximately 0.7
shares of common stock for each share of Series B. The
conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
certain events. The Series B is redeemable at $10 per share (the
original issue and liquidation price) at the Company's option
prior to January 1, 1998, if the market price of the Company's
common stock has been at least 140% of the conversion price for
20 consecutive trading days at any time during the period. On or
after January 1, 1998, the Series B is redeemable at the
Company's option at prices declining annually from $10.40 per
share in 1998 to $10.00 per share after 2002. Of the 575,000
authorized shares of Series B preferred, 571,301 shares were
outstanding at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994.
Cumulative cash dividends are payable quarterly at the rate of
7.25% per year on the original issue price of $10 per share.
Quarterly dividends of $.18125 per share were declared on Series
B preferred stock in 1995 and 1994 by the Company.
Shares of all the Company's preferred stock rank prior to common
stock as to dividends and liquidation. Except for a limited
right of each series of preferred stock to elect two Directors if
full cumulative dividends have not been paid for six quarterly
dividend periods, and a right to vote as a class on amendments to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation which could adversely
affect the rights of the preferred shareholder, the preferred
shareholders are not entitled to vote.
Authorized common stock, $.80 par value, is 20,000,000 shares.
Issued and outstanding shares at September 30, 1995 and December
31, 1994, were 3,463,085 and 3,411,929, respectively.
On July 27, 1995, the Company announced that its Board of
Directors authorized repurchases of up to 100,000 shares of
common stock, (including equivalent shares of its convertible
preferred stock) or approximately 2.9% of outstanding shares.
Such shares will be held as treasury stock. The acquired shares
will be used in connection with employee and shareholder stock
plans. If the Company were to repurchase all of the 100,000
shares authorized, the total reduction to stockholders equity
would be approximately $1,575,000 to $1,700,000 based upon
current market share prices. The Company believes that such
purchases will have a modest positive effect on earnings per
17<PAGE>
share. As of September 30, 1995, the Company has repurchased
7,224 shares at a cost of $115,000 under its repurchase program.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition
The Company's financial condition on September 30, 1995 reflected
total assets of $684,321,000, an increase of $38,344,000 or 5.9%
over total assets at December 31, 1994. Net loans (not held for
sale) decreased some $14,743,000 or 3.5 % to $408,993,000 at
September 30, 1995. In the second and third quarters, the
Company sold certain long-term fixed rate residential mortgages
of which $18,000,000 were funded at September 30, 1995 and
$7,200,000 were reclassified as loans held for sale pending
funding. The Company sold these loans to reduce its exposure to
future increases in interest rates. Exclusive of the loan sales,
net loans increased $10,457,000. Cash and cash equivalents
increased $27,851,000 or 64.4% to $71,122,000 at September 30,
1995. Additionally, aggregate securities investments were
$164,192,000 at September 30, 1995, an increase of $16,467,000 or
11.1% from the level at December 31, 1994. Other assets
increased by $1,664,000. Of this increase, approximately
$1,172,000 is related to the net transfer, due to foreclosure, of
certain non-accruing loans to other real estate owned .
Of the changes in loans, exclusive of reclassification,
commercial loans outstanding fell $8,186,000 or 11.2%, and real
estate loans decreased $23,763,000 or 8.0%, primarily related to
the sale of fixed rate residential mortgages noted above. Local
loan demand of business remains flat, and competitive pressure
for market share in business lending is intensifying.
Residential construction loans increased $6,100,000 or 76.1%
reflecting the seasonal period of a stronger local market for new
home building. Consumer installment loans increased $11,120,000
or 22.2% as the Bank continued to generate indirect automobile
loans through its network of local automobile dealerships. Due
to the competitive nature of this type of financing, the yields
may be somewhat lower than other consumer loan products.
Indirect automobile financing can carry a higher risk of loss
than direct financing. Such risk is taken into account in
management s evaluation of the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan
Losses. The Company also maintains enhanced credit policies and
procedures on this portfolio.
Total deposits increased $41,851,000 or 7.2% in the first nine
months of 1995 to $621,921,000. Of this amount, total Public
(Municipal) Funds increased $363,000 or 0.8% to $46,096,000, and
total non-public funds increased $41,488,000 or 7.8% to
$575,825,000. The following tables summarize the net changes in
public fund and non-public fund deposits from December 31, 1994
to September 30, 1995 (in thousands):

</TABLE>
The increase in public funds is primarily attributable to demand
and NOW accounts in school district balances. Tax receipts for
school districts occur regularly in the third quarter of each
year. Due to the Company s high level of liquidity, the Company
has not bid aggressively for Money Market or time deposits of
municipalities.

</TABLE>
20<PAGE>
The increase in nonpublic funds, although somewhat seasonal, is
principally attributable to promotion of the Bank's Merit Plus
savings product (a package of free services with a savings
account interest rate related to the Federal Reserve discount
rate) and special promotion of certain certificates of deposit
products. These promotions achieved their growth targets and,
as a result, were discontinued in May 1995. These increases
offset declines in demand deposits and Money Market deposit
accounts. Management believes the declines in demand deposits
and Money Market accounts principally represents the migration of
these balances to higher interest rate products (time and savings
accounts). While these shifts in deposits have raised the cost
of interest bearing liabilities, the impact on the Company s
overall average cost of funds is mitigated by the significant
level of the Company s demand deposit base. All repurchase
agreements outstanding at December 31, 1994 totaling $6,106,000
were repaid during the first quarter.
Total stockholders equity increased by $4,248,000 or 8.1% to
$56,786,000 at September 30, 1995. This increase is due to net
income of $4,851,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
and additional common stock of $823,000 issued through the
dividend reinvestment plan and the exercise of stock options.
Further, the decline in interest rates since year end produced an
increase in the after tax market value of Available For Sale
securities of $560,000. These increases in stockholders equity
were partially offset by dividends declared to preferred and
common shareholders of $311,000 and $1,592,000, respectively,
and $115,000 in purchases of treasury stock under the Company s
stock repurchase plan.
Results of Operations (Nine months ended September 30, 1995 vs.
1994)
Net income increased by $2,603,000 or 116%. However, exclusive
of the merger related items detailed following, ($3,870,000 or
$2,465,000 after tax), underlying net income increased $138,000
or 2.9%. Primary earnings per share increased $.73 in the first
nine months of 1995 over 1994, and fully diluted earnings per
share increased $.67 to $1.24 in the same periods of 1995 vs.
1994.

Net Interest Income Analysis (See preceding tables)
The Company experienced a net increase in average loans of
$48,308,000 for the twelve months ended September 30, 1995
compared to September 30, 1994. These assets were principally
funded by an increase in average deposits of $42,697,000 for the
nine month period ended 1995 compared to 1994, of which
$33,003,000 were interest-bearing and $9,694,000 were non-
interest-bearing.
Average yields on interest earning assets increased 0.94% to
8.30% in the nine months of 1995 vs. 1994 and the average cost
of interest-bearing liabilities increased 1.27% to 4.41% in the
same period. However, because of the relatively high level of
demand deposits, the average total cost of all liabilities
27<PAGE>
increased by only 1.0% to 3.46%. Net interest margins on a tax
equivalent basis decreased 0.06% to 4.87% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994
(primarily due to the increase in demand deposits). Overall
increases in the Company s cost of interest bearing deposits
over increased yields on interest earning assets reduced net
interest income by $131,000. The increase in average earnings
assets of $44,727,000 contributed $1,254,000 in additional net
interest income in the nine months of 1995 compared to the same
period in 1994.
The net effect of the variances was that net interest income
before provisions for loan losses increased to $21,635,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $20,512,000
for the comparable period in 1994, or an increase of $1,123,000
(5.5%).
Provision for loan losses and credit quality
The loan loss provision for both of the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 was $1,700,000. Total net charge-offs for
the nine months of 1995 were $1,384,000, compared to $958,000 for the
same period in 1994. Total nonperforming assets have increased from
$6,198,000 on September 30, 1994 to $6,749,000 on September 30, 1995.
Nonperforming assets were up from $6,269,000 at
December 31, 1994, principally in residential mortgages and one large
commercial loan partially secured by real estate.
Provisions for loan losses are based on management's assessment of risk
of loss inherent in the loan portfolio and as such reflect both trends
in local economic conditions and the categorization of the credit
quality of individual loans. Such assessment is ongoing, and may not
directly reflect the charge-offs taken in any accounting period,
although the trend in charge-offs is an important element in the
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Provisions
have tended to increase in periods when the level of charge-offs might
indicate a deteriorating condition in the loan portfolio. The ratio of
the allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans is at 195%
vs. 157% at September 30, 1994 and 163% at December 31, 1994.
Although recent economic statistical data indicates that local economic
conditions may have stabilized, the local economy is not performing as
well as other major regions of the nation. Management, therefore,
continues to closely monitor local economic conditions relative to the
long term impact of IBM s downsizing and the significant vacancy rates
of commercial office and industrial space. Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover the risk of loss inherent
in the portfolio but no assurance can be given that the local economy
may not be unsettled by future events. Such developments would be
expected to adversely effect the financial performance of the Company.
The following table shows, at the dates indicated, the allocation of the
allowance for loan losses, by category, and the percentage of loans in
each category to total gross loans (dollars in thousands):

(1) Nonaccrual status denotes loans on which, in the opinion of management, the
collection of interest is unlikely, or loans that meet other nonaccrual
criteria as established by regulatory authorities. Payments received on loans
classified as nonaccrual are either applied to the outstanding principal
balance or recorded as interest income, depending upon management's assessment
of the ultimate collectibility of the loan.

Other real estate owned totals $2,322,000 at September 30, 1995
and consists of properties acquired through foreclosure on deed
in lieu of foreclosure: one parcel of land, one land development
project, seven residences and three non-farm nonresidential
properties. Management believes that the carrying values of
such properties adequately reflect the risk of loss in their
orderly disposal. At September 30, 1995, the Company had
approximately $11,000,000 in loans requiring special attention,
in addition to the nonperforming loans and other nonperforming
assets noted above. Such loans are being regularly monitored to
assess impairment of the borrower s ability to comply with
repayment terms. Virtually all such loans are collateralized by
real estate. In the opinion of management, the Company s
allowance for loan losses adequately provides for the risk of
loss on these loans.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $1,947,000 in the nine months of 1995 to
$4,504,000 compared to the same period of 1994. Exclusive of
securities losses realized in 1994 on repositioning of the
portfolio of $1,870,000, noninterest income increased by $77,000.
The level of service charges and fee income declined $167,000.
Service charge schedules were revised in connection with the merger.
Reductions to customer service charges were implemented immediately
after the merger while increases to certain service charges were
phased in starting in late February 1995. Additionally, many
customers moved into certain no service charge checking accounts.
These products allowed many customers, previously charged, to obtain a
free account. Such products are expected to be curtailed in future
years.
Securities gains during the nine months of 1995 amounted to $10,000
compared to losses of $1,816,000 in the same period of 1994 as
previously noted above.
Gains on sales of loans increased in 1995 to $375,000, principally as
a result of gains recorded of $334,000 from the sale of approximately
$25,000,000 of previously originated mortgages into the secondary
market. These loans were sold to reduce the Company s holdings of
long-term fixed rate assets. 1994 comparable gains were $122,000.
Other noninterest income increased by $35,000 primarily due to a
$100,000 increase in incentives received from the sale of checks
and $104,000 increase in trust earnings which was offset by
decreases in annuity sales income of $150,000 in 1995 compared to
1994.
Other Expenses
Salaries and employee benefits increased $578,000. This increase is
due to staffing increases related to the five new branches opened in
1994 and 1995 in Amenia, Millerton, Town of Newburgh and the Town
of Poughkeepsie and approximately $110,000 in severance costs during
1995.
Occupancy and equipment expense declined by $90,000 as of
September 30, 1995. This decline is due both to the disposal of
buildings occupied by the banks prior to the merger and rental income
of $203,000 on the Company s new office building. This decrease was
partially offset by the costs associated with the new branches and
facilities of approximately $220,000.
FDIC insurance decreased by $334,000 as a result of assessment
reductions of $358,000 dating back to June of 1995. The annualized
effect of this reduction is approximately $1,080,000 at present
deposit levels.
Supplies expense increased by $210,000 to $669,000 for the 1995 vs.
1994 reflecting new forms related to combining the bank s products
and the additional expense related to the new branches which were
not in full operation in 1994.
Telephone expense increased by $139,000 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 from $236,000 to $375,000 as a result of
customer use of 800 number services, new branches and the additional
long distance expenses associated with a wider service area. Of this
increase, $74,000 relates to the first quarter of 1995.
Other real estate owned expense was $185,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 compared to a net recovery of expense of $50,000 in
1985. The net recovery is the result of a $300,000 gain on
disposition of an OREO property in the third quarter of 1994.
Exclusive of this recovery, OREO expense declined by $65,000 as a
result of lower writedowns and carrying costs associated with
properties held in 1995 vs. those properties held in 1994.
Other expenses increased $225,000 to $3,625,000 or 6.6% for the first
nine months of 1995 compared to the same period of 1994. This
increase related primarily to the increased size of the Company,
consulting expenses, and the costs associated with promotions of
deposit products and new branch locations in Millerton, Town of
Newburgh and Town of Poughkeepsie. In May, the Company hired
A. T. Hudson, a consulting firm specializing in management processes.
The total contract is approximately $340,000 of which $220,000 has
been expensed so far in 1995. It is anticipated that
33<PAGE>
such investment will yield annual running savings in staffing costs
well in excess of the contract cost. Implementation began in the
third quarter of 1995 and is expected to be completed in the fourth
quarter of 1995. In addition, the Company has recorded approximately
$200,000 in consulting expenses related to the merger of its data
processing systems. These costs were somewhat offset by savings
achieved in certain areas due to economies related to the merger.
In the first quarter of 1995, the Company established a provision for
further potential merger expenses of $250,000 related to finalizing
the conversion of its data processing systems. In the first nine
months of 1994, $2,000,000 was recorded in connection with expenses
incurred toward the Merger. Accordingly, year to date merger expenses
are $1,750,000 less than the same period in 1994.
Pretax income rose from $3,510,000 to $7,403,000 or $3,893,000. Of
this increase, $3,620,000 relates to the non-reoccurance of merger
related items noted earlier and $273,000 relates to the general
growth of underlying income in the nine months ended September 30,
1995 compared to the same period in 1994.
Income tax increased $1,286,000 due to the increase in pretax income
noted above. Also, approximately $750,000 of the 1994 merger related
expenses were not considered tax deductible. This increased
comparative tax expense by approximately $310,000 in 1994. The
Company s effective tax rate was 34.5% and 36.0% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Three months ended September 30, 1995 vs. September 30, 1994
Net interest income increased $37,000 or 0.5% for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 compared to 1994, primarily due to the
overall growth in interest earning assets the Company has
experienced over the past year, offset by higher interest expenses.
Provisions for loan losses remained constant reflecting management s
assessment of the amounts necessary to maintain an adequate allowance
for possible loan losses.
Noninterest income was $1,603,000 for the third quarter 1995 compared
to a loss of $452,000 in 1994. Exclusive of the 1994 realized
securities losses on portfolio repositioning, noninterest income
increased $185,000 of which $169,000 related to gains on sales of
loans in 1995 compared to a small loss on loan sales in 1994.
Additionally, quarterly trust earnings increased $55,000 or 47.8%.
These increases were offset by service charge and fees declining
$72,000 to $881,000 or 7.5% and a decrease of $46,000 in annuity fees.
Noninterest expense decreased $1,558,000 to $5,303,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 compared to September 30, 1994.
Exclusive of merger-related expenses of $1,690,000, total noninterest
expense increased $132,000. Of this amount, salaries and benefits
increased by $269,000 over this period due to severances of $60,000
and staff increases associated with new branch facilities opened in
late 1994 and early 1995. Occupancy expense increased by $39,000
due to the costs of the new branch facilities.
FDIC insurance decreased $338,000 as a result of a $358,000 rebate and
reduction of FDIC insurance premiums from the period June 1, 1995 to
September 30, 1995 as a result of premium reductions from 23 basis
points to 4 basis points.
Stationary and supplies increased $72,000 in the third quarter of 1995
compared to the same period of 1994 due to the general growth of the
Company and the continuing costs associated with new forms being
prepared for handling the combined Bank s products.
Other real estate owned expense was $8,000 in the third quarter of
1995 compared to a net credit of $125,000 in 1994. Exclusive of
an expense recovery of $300,000 relating to a disposition of an
OREO property, OREO expense in the third quarter of 1994 was $175,000
primarily due to writedowns of OREO properties. In the third quarter
of 1995, no writedowns occurred on OREO properties and
34<PAGE>
rental income received reduced carrying costs to the level of $8,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1995.
Merger related expenses incurred in the third quarter of 1994 of
$1,690,000 relate to pre-merger expenses. There were no merger
related expenses in the third quarter of 1995.
Other noninterest expenses decreased $78,000 to $1,211,000 despite of
the $120,000 related to the A. T. Hudson contract and $50,000 related
to the computer consulting expenses noted earlier.
Therefore, third quarter 1995 net income was $1,946,000 compared to a
third quarter loss of $396,000 in 1994, or a net increase of
$2,342,000 of which $2,155,000 was due to merger related items
incurred in 1994.
Asset/Liability Management
The Company's ability to plan for changes in interest rates is a
significant profitability factor. The Company's primary objective
in managing interest rate sensitivity is to maintain a broadly
balanced position between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in
order to minimize the impact of significant interest rate
fluctuations. The historical level of demand deposits (approximately
20% of total deposits) helps to mitigate increases in interest rates
and reduces the average cost of all liabilities to a level
significantly below the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

(1) Does not include loans in non-accrual status or net unrealized gains/losses recorded on
"available for sale" securities as of September 30, 1995. Fixed rate loans are recorded
within interest-earning assets by contractual maturity, adjusted for amortization.
Fixed rate mortgage backed securities are recorded based upon estimated prepayment rates
experienced during the past twelve months.

1995.

</TABLE>

Interest sensitive assets that reprice in less than three months are
primarily prime rate adjustable loans, federal funds sold and floating
rate securities. Interest sensitive assets that reprice or mature
with maturities in excess of three months are loans and securities.
Assets that reprice greater than five years are primarily residential
mortgages and municipal securities. The repricing of fixed rate
assets has been presented based upon contractual maturity, adjusted
for scheduled amortization, but does not reflect potential
prepayments. Interest sensitive liabilities are primarily money
market rate-sensitive deposits in the three month or less category.
Certificates of deposit are shown by contractual maturity. Savings
and NOW accounts have been allocated for the purposes of this table to
the four months to one year category. Although rates on these
types of accounts have recently changed more frequently than in the
past, such rates still regularly lag changes in money market rates.
The relative increase in rates paid on deposits has been greater
than the increase in yields in the Company s interest earning assets
over the past twelve months. This had a negative effect on net
interest income in the nine months ended September 30, 1995
compared to the same period of 1994. If increases in interest rates
paid for interest bearing liabilities continue to exceed the increase
in yields in the Company s interest earning assets, net interest
margin may be adversely affected.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents of $71,122,000
in addition to its securities available for sale of $77,181,000 at
September 30, 1995 are sufficient to meet both the funding needs of
its borrowers and the liquidity requirements of its depositors. The
Company intends to invest its increases in cash and cash equivalents
over its loan funding requirements in investment securities with
average lives of less than five years. It is anticipated that such
purchases will be classified as Available For Sale securities.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT effective as of July 1, 1995 ( Effective Date ),
by and between Hudson Chartered Bancorp, Inc. (the Company ), First
National Bank of the Hudson Valley (the Bank ), and John C. VanWormer
(the Employee ).WHEREAS, the Employee has heretofore been employed by
the Bank and the Company as their President and is experienced in all
phases of the business of the Bank and the Company; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire by this writing to set forth the
continuing employment relationship of the Bank, the Company and the
Employee.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is AGREED as follows: The Employment Agreement
dated November 24, 1993, and amended March 3, 1994, between the
Employee and the predecessors of the Company and the Bank, which
Agreement was assumed by the Company and the Bank, shall remain in
full force and effect until the Effective Date.
Employment. The Employee is employed as the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Bank and as the President of the Company.
The Employee shall render such administrative and management services
for the Bank and the Company as are currently rendered and as are
customarily performed by persons situated in a similar executive
capacity. The Employee shall also promote, by entertainment or
otherwise, as and to the extent permitted by law, the business of the
Bank and the Company. The Employee s other duties shall be such as
the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company may from time to
time reasonably direct, including normal duties as an officer of the
Bank and of the Company.
Base Compensation. The Bank agrees to pay the Employee, beginning as
of the Effective Date, a salary at the rate of $198,000 per annum,
payable in cash not less frequently than monthly. In lieu of paying
the Employee a base salary during the term of this Agreement, the
Company agrees that to the extent permitted by law, it shall be
jointly and severally liable with the Bank for the payment of all
amounts due thereunder. The Board of Directors of the Company may
nevertheless at any time agree to pay the Employee, during the
remaining term of this Agreement, a salary for his services rendered
for the Company. The Board of Directors of the Bank and of the
Company shall have the discretion to increase the Employee s salary,
at any time and from time to time. Any such increase shall
reflect the Employee s contribution to the financial and business
performance of the Company and the Bank during the preceding period.
Discretionary Bonuses. The Employee shall participate in an equitable
manner with all other senior management employees of the Bank and/or
the Company in discretionary bonuses that their respective Board of
Directors may award from time to time to its senior management
employees. No other compensation provided for in this agreement
shall be deemed a substitute for the Employee s right to
participate in such discretionary bonuses.
(a) Participation in Retirement, Medical and Other Plans. Blue
Cross/Blue Shield medical insurance coverage, including major
medical insurance coverage, or similar insurance coverage provided
by another insurance company, shall be maintained for the Employee
and his dependents. In addition, the Employee shall participate in
any plan that the Bank or the Company maintains generally for the
benefit of its employees if the plan relates to (I) pension,
profit-sharing, or other retirement benefits, (ii) medical
insurance or the reimbursement of medical or dependent care
expenses, or (iii) other group benefits, including disability and
life insurance plans. The Employee s participation in each such
plan or program shall be in accordance with the terms and
provisions thereof as generally applicable to all participants.
(b) Employee Benefits; Expenses. The Employee shall participate
in any fringe benefits which are approved by the Board of Directors
including for example: any stock option or incentive compensation
plans, club memberships, and any other benefits which are
commensurate with the responsibilities and functions
to be performed by the Employee under this Agreement. The Employee
shall be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses which
he shall incur in connection with his services under this Agreement
upon substantiation of such expenses in accordance with the
policies of the Bank and/or the Company.
Term. The Bank and the Company shall employ the Employee, and the
Employee accepts such employment, for the period commencing on
July 1, 1995 ( Employment Date ) and ending thirty-six months
thereafter (or such earlier date as is determined in accordance
with Section 11). On each annual anniversary date from the
Employment Date, the Employee s term of employment shall be
extended for a one-year period beyond the then effective expiration
date, unless the Bank or the Company provides written notice to the
Employee prior to such anniversary date advising the Employee that
this Agreement shall not be further extended. Any such extension
shall be subject to the consent of the Employee, which shall be
presumed to be received unless the Employee provides the Company or
the Bank with written notice on the contrary.
7. The Employee shall be eligible to participate in and benefit
from a supplemental retirement program ("SRP") as described in this
section. The SRP shall provide supplemental retirement and tax
deferral benefits to the extent benefits under the Hudson Chartered
Bancorp, Inc. Retirement and Thrift Plan or any successor plan (the
"Plan") are limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code,
ERISA, or any other applicable law or regulation (the "Limitations").
The SRP shall provide to the Employee an annual profit-sharing
contribution equal to the excess of the amount that would have been
contributed for the Employee under the Plan absent the Limitations,
over the amount actually contributed to the Plan. The SRP will
also permit the Employee to defer from his eligible compensation,
as defined in the Plan, a dollar amount equal to the excess he
could have deferred under the 401(k) feature of the Plan, absent
the Limitations, over the amount he actually deferred under that
plan; provided however, that the Employee has deferred the maximum
amount permitted by the Limitations. The SRP will also provide,
with respect to the supplemental deferral described in the previous
sentence, a matching contribution equal to the matching
contribution that the Plan would have provided if the supplemental
deferral had been made into the 401(k) feature of the Plan.
The SRP shall be an account maintained on the books of the Employer on
behalf of the Employee which shall include each of the amounts
described in the preceding paragraph for each year of employment under
this Agreement. Each of such amounts shall be recorded in the SRP at
the same time it would have been paid
1<PAGE>
or credited to the Employee's accounts under the Plan. The Employee's
Account under the SRP shall be credited with earnings equal to the
Chase Bank prime rate in effect from time to time, at the same time
that earnings would be credited under the Plan. Although the SRP is a
bookkeeping account maintained by the Employer to record its
supplemental retirement liability to the Employee, the Employer may
create a reserve or a fund to cover some or all of such liability.
However, any such reserve or fund shall at all times be subject to
the claims of creditors of the Employer. Benefits under the SRP
shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Employer, and
the Employee shall be a general unsecured creditor of the Employer
with respect to the Employer's liability to the Employee under the
SRP.
Benefits under the SRP shall be fully vested at all times and shall be
paid to the Employee in the same manner and at the same time as
benefits shall be paid to the Employee from the Plan.
8. Loyalty; Noncompetition.
(a) During the period of his employment thereunder and except for
illnesses, reasonable vacation periods, and reasonable leaves of
absence, the Employee shall devote all his full business time,
attention, skill, and efforts to the faithful performance of his
duties thereunder; provided, however, from time to time, Employee
may serve on boards of directors of, and hold any other offices or
positions in, companies or organizations, which will not present any
conflict of interest with the Company or the Bank or any of their
subsidiaries or affiliates, or unfavorably affect the performance of
Employee s duties pursuant to this Agreement, or will not violate any
applicable statute or regulation. Full business time is hereby
defined by the fact that the Employee cannot be gainfully employed
in any other position or job, but the time devoted to the Company and
the Bank shall be that amount of time usually devoted to like
companies by similarly situated executive officers. During the
term of his employment under this Agreement, the Employee shall not
engage in any business or activity contrary to or conflicting with
the business affairs or interests of the bank or the Company or any of
their subsidiaries or affiliates.
(b) Nothing contained in this Paragraph 8 shall be deemed to
prevent or limit the Employee s right to invest in the capital stock
or other securities of any business dissimilar from that of the Bank
and the Company, or, solely as a passive or minority investor, in any
business.
9. Standards. The Employee shall perform his duties under
this Agreement in accordance with such reasonable standards as the
Board of Directors of the Bank and/or of the Company may establish
from time to time ( Performance Standards ). The Bank will provide
Employee with the working facilities and staff customary for
similar executives and necessary for him to perform his duties.
10. Vacation and Sick Leave. At such reasonable times as
the Board of Directors of the Bank and/or the Company shall in its
discretion permit, the Employee shall be entitled, without loss of
pay, to absent himself voluntarily from the performance of his
employment under this Agreement, all such voluntary absences to
count as vacation time; provided that:
(a) The Employee shall be entitled to an annual vacation of not less
than four weeks, in accordance with the policies that the Board of
Directors of the Bank and/or the Company periodically establishes
for senior management employees of the Bank or the Company.
(b) The Employee shall not receive any additional compensation
from the Bank or the Company on account of his failure to take a
vacation, and the Employee shall not accumulate unused vacation
from one fiscal year to the next, except in accordance with the
policies that the Board of Directors of the Bank and/or the
Company periodically establish for the employees of the Bank or the
Company.
The Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company may grant to the
Employee a leave or leaves or absence, with or without pay, at such
time or times and upon such terms and conditions as such Board of
Directors in its discretion may determine.
(d) In addition, the Employee shall be entitled to an annual sick
leave benefit as established by the Board of Directors of the Bank or
the Company.
11. Termination and Termination Pay. Subject to Section 13
hereof, the Employee s employment thereunder may be terminated under
the following circumstances:
(a) Death. The Employee s employment under this Agreement shall
terminate upon his death during the term of this Agreement, in which
event the Employee s estate shall be entitled to receive the salary
provided pursuant to Section 3 hereof through the last day of the
calendar month in which his death occurred.
(b) Just Cause. The Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company
may, by written notice to the Employee, immediately terminate his
employment at any time, for Just Cause. The Employee shall have no
right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after
termination for Just Cause. Termination for Just Cause shall mean
termination because of, in the good faith determination of the
Company s or the Bank s Board of Directors, the Employee s personal
dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty
involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated
duties, consistent failure to meet Performance Standards (after
notice to the Employee), willful violation of any law, rule or
regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses)
or final cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall
not be deemed to have been terminated for Just Cause unless there
shall have been delivered to the Employee a copy of a resolution duly
adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the
entire membership of the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company
at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after
reasonable notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the
Employee to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith
opinion of the Board the Employee was guilty of conduct set forth
above in the third sentence of this Subsection (b) and specifying
the particulars thereof in detail.
Without Just Cause. Subject to Section 13 hereof, the Board of
Directors of the Bank or the Company may, by written notice to the
Employee, immediately terminate his employment at any time for a
reason other than Just Cause, in which event the Employee shall be
entitled to receive salary provided pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
up to the date of termination of the term of this Agreement (including
any renewal term of this Agreement previously agreed to by the
2<PAGE>
Board of Directors) plus he shall be paid salary for an additional
12-month period. Said sum shall be paid, at the option of the
Employee, either(I) in periodic payments over the remaining term of
this Agreement, as if the Employee s employment had not been
terminated, or (II) in one lump sum with ten (10) days of such
termination. In addition, the Company or the Bank shall continue, at
no cost to the Employee, coverage under the medical welfare plans in
which he and his dependents participated prior to the termination, for
a period of 18 months following the date such coverage would otherwise
have expired due to the termination.
(d) Termination or Supervision Under Federal Law.
(1) If the Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited
from participating in the conduct of the Bank s affairs by an order
issued under Sections 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act ( FDIA ) (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all
obligations of the Company and the Bank under this Agreement shall
terminate, as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of
the parties shall not be affected.
(2) If the bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of
FDIA), all obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall
