                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                           (000'S OMITTED)

     Cortland First Financial Corporation is a one-bank holding company formed
in 1986.  Its only subsidiary and operating entity is First National Bank of
Cortland, chartered in 1869.  First National Bank of Cortland is an independent
bank delivering financial services from its seven offices in Cortland,
Cortlandville, Marathon, McGraw, Cincinnatus, and Tully, to its customers in
Cortland County and the surrounding area, and includes our newest branch 
location in Whitney Point which opened in 1994 expanding our service area into
Broome County.  The primary regulator of Cortland First Financial Corporation 
is the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, while its subsidiary, First National
Bank of Cortland, is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency in Washington, DC.

     Total assets of $218,772 increased by $14,912 or 7.3% from $203,860 at
year-end 1995.  Total investment securities of $78,458 increased by $3,196 or
4.2% from 75,262 at year-end 1995.  Net loans decreased by $896 from December
31, 1995, to the current $110,131.

     On the liability side, our deposits increased by $14,922 or 8.4% from
$178,446 at year-end 1995 to $193,367 on March 31, 1996.  Capital of $23,739 at
March 31, 1996 compared to $23,654 at year-end 1995, an increase of $85 which
included $345 in an unfavorable unrealized loss variance during the first
quarter of 1996.

     Cortland First Financial's return on average assets (ROA) of 1.27% compared
to 1.30% a year ago, while our return on equity (ROE) of 11.25% this year
compared to 12.63% for 1995 to date.  Other key ratios, based on averages, were:
loans to total deposits 60.06% in 1996 versus 60.92% in 1995; loans to earning
assets 56.19% in 1996 and 57.91% in 1995; loss reserve to loans of 1.08% this
year compared to 1.15% a year ago; loss provision to net loans of 0.27% in 1996
and 0.28% for 1995; and finally, net loan loss chargeoffs to net loans at 0.17
this year compared to 0.10 in 1995.  Earning assets yield on a fully taxable
equivalent basis of 8.12% this year to date compared to 8.30% a year ago, a
decrease of 18 basis points.  Our interest paying liability cost of 3.75% this
year to date compared to 3.65% a year ago for the same period, an increase of 10
basis points.  Interest margin of 5.04% this year compared to 5.26% a year
ago, a decrease of 22 basis points due to increase in the interest paying
liabilities cost and decrease in earnings asset yield.  Net interest income of 
$2,326 for 1996 to date compared to $2,319 a year ago for the same period, an 
increase of $7.  Other income of $358 compared to $341 for the same period, an
increase of $17 or 5%.  Total non-interest expenses of $1,676 this year to date
compared to $1,669 a year ago, an increase of $7 or .04%.  Accounting for this 
are variances in the timing of some payments in 1996 as compared to the same 
period for 1995.  The bulk is due to an increase in salary and benefits 
expense/offset by the reduction in FDIC premium ($98).  Net income of $666 this 
year compared to $653 a year ago, an increase of $13 or 2.0%.

ITEM 4.
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

An annual meeting of shareholders was held on Monday, March 25, 1996.  One of
the purposes of the meeting was to vote on a proposed amendment to the 
Articles of Incorporation which would reduce the par value of the presently 
authorized 3,000,000 shares of common stock of Cortland First Financial 
Corporation, both issued and unissued, from $5.00 per share to $1.6667 per
share, and would change each share of common stock presently issued into three 
shares $1.6667 par value per share, effecting a three for one stock split.  The
results of the vote were as follows:

          For the amendment:         491,640
          Opposed the amendment:       4,842
          Abstentions:                 9,569
          Total shares outstanding:  672,000

Since those votes in the affirmative were a majority as required, the amendment
as proposed was approved and the par value of the common stock was reduced to
$1.6667 per share.

At the same annual meeting, a vote on the election of three Class I directors 
was held.  The vote pertaining to the election of the (Class I) directors was as
follows:

          David R. Alvord       Donald S. Ames       David J. Taylor

Withheld:          755                1,035              4,435

6.   Duration.  The duration of the Corporation is to be perpetual.


7.   Cumulative Voting Rights.  Cumulative voting rights shall not exist with

8.   Opposition of Tender (or other offer)

     A.   The Board of Directors may, if it deems it advisable, oppose a
          tender, or other offer for the Corporation's securities, whether the
          offer is in cash or in securities of a Corporation or otherwise. 
          When considering whether to oppose an offer, the Board of Directors
          may, but it is not legally obligated to, consider any pertinent
          issues; by way of illustration, but not of limitation, the Board of
          Directors may, but shall not be legally obligated to, consider any
          and all of the following:

          (1)  Whether the offer price is acceptable based on the historical
               and present operating results or financial condition of the
               Corporation.

          (2)  Whether a more favorable price could be obtained for the
               Corporation's securities in the future.

          (3)  The impact which an acquisition of the Corporation would have
               on its employees, depositors, and customers of the Corporation
               and its subsidiaries in the community which they serve.

          (4)  The reputation and business practices of the offeror and its
               management and affiliates as they would affect the employees,
               depositors, and customers of the Corporation and its
               subsidiaries and the future value of the Corporation's stock.

          (5)  The value of the securities, if any, which the offeror is
               offering in exchange for the Corporation's securities, based on
               an analysis of the worth of the Corporation as compared to the
               Corporation or other entity whose securities are being offered.

          (6)  Any antitrust or other legal and regulatory issues that are
               raised by the offer.

     B.   If the Board of Directors determines that an offer should be
          rejected, it may take any lawful action to accomplish its purpose
          including, but not limited to, any and all of the following: advising
          shareholders not to accept the offer; litigation against the offeror;
          filing complaints with all governmental and regulatory authorities;
          acquiring the authorized but unissued securities or treasury stock or
          granting options with respect thereto; acquiring a company to create
          an antitrust or other regulatory problem for the offeror; and
          obtaining a more favorable offer from another individual or entity.

9.   Classification of Directors.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation
     shall be divided into three classes, the respective terms of office of
     which shall end in successive years.  The number of directors in each class
     shall be specified in the Bylaws and shall be nearly as equal as possible. 
     Unless they are elected to fill vacancies, the directors in each class
     shall be elected to hold office until the third successive annual meeting
     of shareholders after their election and until their successors shall have
     been elected and qualified.  At each annual meeting of shareholders the
     directors of only one class shall be elected, except directors who may be
     elected to fill vacancies.

10.  Preemptive Rights.  No holder of shares of any class or of any series of
     any class shall have any preemptive rights to subscribe for, purchase or
     receive any shares of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized,
     or any obligations or other securities convertible into or carrying options
     to purchase any such shares of the Corporation, or any options or rights to
     purchase any such shares or securities, issued or sold by the Corporation
     for cash or any other form of consideration, and any such shares,
     securities or rights may be issued or disposed of by the Board of Directors
     to such persons and on such terms as the Board in its discretion shall deem
     advisable.

11.  Indebtedness.  The Corporation shall have authority to borrow money and the
     Board of Directors, without the approval of the shareholders and acting
     within their sole discretion, shall have the authority to issue debt
     instruments of the Corporation upon such terms and conditions and with such
     limitation as the Board of Directors deems advisable.  The authority of the
     Board of Directors shall include, but not be limited to, the power of issue
     convertible debentures.

12.  Indemnification.  Every person who is or was a director, officer, employee,
     or agent of the Corporation, or of any Corporation which he served as such
     at the request of the Corporation, shall be indemnified by the Corporation
     to the fullest extent permitted by law against all expenses and liabilities
     reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him, in connection with any
     proceeding to which he may be made, or threatened to be made, a party, or
     in which he may become involved by reason of his being or having been a
     director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or of such other
     Corporation, whether or not he is a director, officer, employee, or agent
     of the Corporation or such other Corporation at the time the expenses or
     liabilities are incurred.

13.  Business Combinations

     A.   No merger, consolidation, liquidation, or dissolution of the
          Corporation, nor any action that would result in the sale or other
          disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
          Corporation shall be valid unless first approved by the affirmative
          vote of:

          1.   the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the
               outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, provided
               that such transaction has received the prior approval of 
               sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 %) of the entire Board of
               Directors; or

          2.   the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent

               prior approval of eighty percent (80%) of the entire Board of
               Directors.



Any Business Combination involving a 5% stockholder (as hereinafter defined)
shall require the percentage approval referenced in subparagraphs A.1 and A.2 in
addition to any shares beneficially owned by such 5% stockholder (i.e. in
computing the aforesaid percentages, the shares owned by the 5% shareholder 
shall not be considered).

     B.   Notwithstanding the percentage approval referenced in subparagraphs
          A.1 and A.2, no merger, consolidation, liquidation, or dissolution of
          the Corporation, nor any action that would result in the sale or
          other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
          Corporation shall be valid unless the cash or fair market value of
          the property, securities, or other consideration to be received per
          share by holders of Common Stock of the Corporation is at least equal
          to the higher of the following:

               recapitalization and for stock splits, stock dividends, and
               like distributions), paid by the 5% stockholder in acquiring
               any of its holdings of the Corporation's Common Stock; and

          2.   the market value per share of common stock on the announcement
               date with respect to such Business Combination.

     C.   For the purposes of this Article Thirteenth:

          1.   A "person" shall mean any individual, firm, Corporation, or

               Combination, any person (other than the Corporation or any
               subsidiary) who or which, as of the record date for the
               determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote
               on such Business Combination, or immediately prior to the
               consummation of any such transaction, 

               a.   is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of not
                    less than 5% of the voting shares, or

               b.   is an Affiliate of the Corporation and at any time within
                    two years prior thereto was the beneficial owner,

                    shares of capital stock of the Corporation which were at
                    any time within two years prior thereto beneficially
                    owned by any 5% stockholder, and such assignment or
                    succession shall have occurred in the course of a
                    transaction or series of transactions not involving a
                    public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act

               c.   which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by
                    any other person with which such first mentioned person
                    or any of its affiliates or associates has any agreement,
                    arrangement, or understanding for the purpose of
                    acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any shares of

               Regulations.

          6.   The term "market value" shall mean:

               a.   in the case of stock, the highest closing sale price
                    during the thirty-day period immediately preceding the
                    date in question of a share of such stock on the
                    composite tape for New York stock-exchange-listed stocks,
                    or, if such stock is not quoted on such composite tape or
                    if such stock is not listed on such exchange, on the
                    principal United States securities exchange registered
                    under the Exchange Act on which such stock is listed, or
                    if such stock is not listed on any such exchange, the
                    highest closing bid quotation with respect to a share of
                    such stock during the thirty-day period preceding the
                    date in question on the National Association of
                    Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System or
                    any system then in use, or if no such quotations are
                    available, the fair market value on the date in question
                    of a share of such stock as determined by the Board of
                    Directors in good faith; and

               b.   in the case of property other than cash or stock, the
                    fair market value of such property on the date of
                    question as determined by the Board of Directors in good
                    faith.

          7.   Liability of Directors: No director shall be personally liable
               to the Corporation or its shareholders for damages resulting
               from the breach of any duty such director owes to the
               Corporation and/or its shareholders, as a result of his
               position as such, unless a judgment or other final adjudication
               adverse to such director establishes that the director's acts
               or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional
               misconduct or a knowing violation of law or that such director
               personally gained in fact a financial profit to which he was
               not legally entitled or that the director's acts violated 
               Section 719 of the New York Business Corporation Law.  The 
               purpose of this provision is to incorporate the provisions of 
               Chapter 367 of the Laws of 1987 to the fullest extent
               authorized by such Chapter.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have made and subscribed this Certificate this  25th  day
of  March , 1996, and affirm that the statements made herein are true under
penalties of perjury.
