(a) Financial statements of business acquired. The balance sheet of Cicero Bank
("Cicero") as of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995,
together with the report of independent auditors thereon, are attached as
Appendix A to this Report.

(b) Pro forma financial information. The pro forma financial information for
Cicero required pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X is attached as Appendix
B to this Report. The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet
combines the historical Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets of Center Banks
Incorporated and Cicero giving effect to the consummation of the purchase of
assets and assumption of liabilities of Cicero (the "Purchase and Assumption")
on December 31, 1995, using the purchase method of accounting and giving effect
to the related pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying Notes to the

consummation of the Purchase and Assumption on January 1, 1995, using the
purchase method of accounting and giving effect to the related pro forma
adjustments described in the accompanying Notes to the Pro Forma Combined

        The pro forma combined condensed financial statements included herein

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Cicero Bank:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cicero Bank as of December 31,
1995, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Cicero Bank at December 31,
1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Bank adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures, in 1995.

As discussed in Note 9 to the Financial Statements, in April 1993, the Bank
received a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) and the State of New York Banking Department (NYSBD) which
required the Bank, within specified time periods, to take action on thirteen
provisions as specified in the MOU. At December 31, 1995, the Bank has not fully
satisfied the following provisions of the MOU: development of a financial plan
and revision of the lending policies. As there are still instances of
noncompliance, the FDIC and NYSBD may take further supervisory actions as they
deem appropriate.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1995 and 1994


 (1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
       ------------------------------------------
   
       Organization
       ------------
   
       Cicero Bank (Bank) is a commercial bank chartered by the State of New
           York Banking Department. The Bank commenced operations on September
           26, 1989 and primarily serves the banking needs of the Town of Cicero
           and its surrounding communities.

       Basis of Presentation
       ---------------------

       The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
           accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
           and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
           liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
           date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income
           and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
           from those estimates.

       Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial
           statements to conform to the current year presentation.

       Cash and Cash Equivalents
       -------------------------
   
       For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
           cash, due from banks, interest bearing deposits in other financial
           institutions and federal funds sold.

       Securities
       ----------

       The Bank classifies its debt securities as either available-for-sale or
           held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are those debt
           securities that the Bank has the ability and intent to hold until
           maturity. All other securities are classified as available-for-sale.

       Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value.
           Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at cost, adjusted for the
           amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Unrealized gains
           and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale
           securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate
           component of shareholders' equity until realized.

       A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale or
           held-to-maturity security that is deemed to be other than temporary
           results in a charge to earnings and a new cost basis for the
           security.

       Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the
           related security and an adjustment to yield using the interest
           method. Interest income is recognized when earned. Purchases and
           sales are recorded on a trade date basis with settlement occurring
           shortly thereafter. Realized gains and losses on securities are
           included in earnings and are calculated using the specific

(1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
       -----------------------------------------------------

       Loans Receivable
       ----------------      

       Loans receivable are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Fees and
           certain direct origination costs related to lending activities are
           recognized on a basis that approximates the interest method over the
           lives of the loans.

       Generally, interest income is not recognized on loans which are
           delinquent over 90 days. Such loans are designated as non-accruing
           and income is subsequently recognized to the extent management
           believes, after considering economic and business conditions and
           collection efforts, the borrower's financial condition warrants
           accrual.

       Allowance for Loan Losses
       -------------------------     
       The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which management
           considers adequate to absorb loan losses based upon an evaluation of
           known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management's
           evaluation is based upon a continuing review of the loan portfolio
           which includes many factors, such as identification of adverse
           situations which may effect the borrower's ability to repay, a review
           of overall portfolio quality and an assessment of current and future
           economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
           integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
           Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank
           to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment of
           information available to them at the time of their examination. The
           allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions charged to
           income and reduced by charge-offs of loans, net of recoveries.

       Substantially all of the Bank's loan portfolio have been granted to
           customers in the Bank's market area. Accordingly, the ultimate
           collectibility of a substantial portion of the Bank's loan portfolio
           is susceptible to changes in market conditions in this area.

       The Bank adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
           Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
           Loan as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for
           Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures in 1995.
           Management considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that
           the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
           original terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is considered to be
           impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on the
           present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
           effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loans
           observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan
           is collateral dependent. In considering loans for evaluation of
           impairment, management generally excludes large groups of small
           balances, homogeneous loans such as residential mortgage loans and
           consumer loans which are collectively evaluated. Impairment losses
           are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the
           provision for loan losses. When a loan is impaired and the future
           repayment of the recorded balance is doubtful, interest payments
           received are applied to principal and no interest income is
           recognized. If the recorded loan balance is expected to be paid,
           interest income is recognized on a cash basis.

(1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
       -----------------------------------------------------

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
- ------------------------------------

       Leasehold improvements and furniture and equipment, are carried at cost
           less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is
           computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
           lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
           term of the lease or the useful life of the asset, if shorter.


       Income Taxes
       ------------

       Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
           consequences attributable to differences between the financial
           statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
           their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
           measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
           in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
           recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
           liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
           period that includes the enactment date.


       Income Per Share
       ----------------

       Per common share data is computed based upon the weighted average number
           of common shares outstanding during each period. There are no common
           stock equivalents that would dilute income per share. The Bank's
           weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31,
           1995 were 225,000.

(3)    Loans Receivable, Continued
       ---------------------------

       As discussed in note 1, the Bank changed its method of accounting for
           impairment of loans in 1995 to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 114.
           At December 31, 1995, loans that are considered to be impaired
           totaled $607,038. Included in this amount is $279,735 of impaired
           loans for which an allowance for loan losses of $252,385 has been
           provided and $327,303 of impaired loans that as a result of the
           adequacy of underlying collateral do not require an allowance for
           loan losses. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during
           1995 was $566,485. Interest income recognized on impaired loans was
           $20,646 in 1995.

       The principal  balances of loans not accruing interest are $771,638 at 
           December 31, 1995.  Interest foregone due to nonaccruing loans  
           approximated  $58,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

</TABLE>


       Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
           future taxable income or the existence of sufficient taxable income
           within the carryback period. A valuation allowance is provided when
           it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax
           assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation
           allowance, management considers the scheduled reversal of the
           deferred tax liabilities, the level of historical taxable income and
           projected future taxable income. A valuation allowance was
           established in 1995 due to limited taxes paid in the carryback period
           and historical earnings.

 (6)   Employee Savings Plan
       ---------------------

       The Bank has an employee savings 401(k) plan (the Plan), which covers
           employees who have met minimum service and age requirements. Under
           the terms of the Plan, eligible employees may defer portions of their
           salary, subject to IRS limitations, as contributions to the Plan. The
           Bank contributes a discretionary portion of participating employee
           salaries. The Bank's contribution to the Plan was $1,583 for the year
           ended December 31, 1995.

(7)    Commitments and Contingencies
       -----------------------------

       Lease Agreement
       ---------------

       The Bank leases its premises under a noncancellable operating lease from
           a related party. At December 31, 1995, minimum payments under this
           lease are as follows: $140,475 in 1996; $135,900 in 1997; $114,600 in
           1998; $114,080 in 1999; $117,978 in 2000; and $1,048,053 in later
           years. In addition to required lease payments, the lease requires the
           Bank to pay the property taxes and insurance costs.

       The total annual lease expense was $168,305 in 1995.

       Commitments to Extend Credit
       ----------------------------

       In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various
           commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend
           credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial
           statements. Commitments to outside parties under standby letters of
           credit, unused portions of lines of credit, and commitments to fund
           new loans totaled $833,000 at December 31, 1995.

       Contingencies
       -------------

       The Bank is involved in certain claims and legal actions arising in the
           ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after
           consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these
           matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
           financial condition of the Bank.

       Other
       -----

       At December 31,1995, the Bank had an unused line of credit with another
           bank. The line totals $1,000,000, has a variable interest rate based
           on the lending bank's prime rate, and is due on demand. The line is
           collateralized with U.S. Treasury securities.

       Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
       -------------------------------------------------

       The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
           in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its
           customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend
           credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying
           degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amount
           recognized in the balance sheet.

       The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
           other parties to the financial instrument for commitments to extent
           credit and letters of credit is represented by the amounts of those
           commitments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
           commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance
           sheet instruments. The Bank controls credit risk through credit
           approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Management believes that
           market risk from the Bank's commitments to extend credit is minimal.

       Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk, Continued
       ------------------------------------------------------------

       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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
           termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of
           the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
           total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
           requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on
           a case by case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
           necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on
           management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held
           varies but may include cash, securities, receivables, inventory, and
           equipment.

(8)    Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments
       ---------------------------------------------------------

       SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, as
           amended by SFAS No. 119, Disclosure About Derivative Financial
           Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments, became effective
           for the Company in 1995. SFAS No. 107 requires disclosures about the
           fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
           estimate fair value. The definition of a financial instrument
           includes many of the assets and liabilities recognized in the Bank's
           balance sheet, as well as certain off-balance sheet items. Fair value
           is defined in SFAS Nos. 107 and 119 as the amount at which a
           financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
           between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

       The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair 
           value of each class of financial instruments for which it is 
           practicable to estimate that value:

           Cash and Cash Equivalents
           -------------------------

           The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks approximate the
           estimated fair values of such assets.

           Securities
           ----------

           Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, if
           available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are
           based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

           Loans Receivable
           ----------------

           The fair values of loans are estimated based on discounted cash flow
           analyses using interest rates currently offered for loans with
           similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

           Deposit Liabilities
           -------------------

           The fair values estimated for demand deposits (e.g., interest and
           non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings, and certain types of
           money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount
           payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying
           amounts). Fair values of fixed rate certificates of deposit are
           estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies
           interest rates currently being offered to a schedule of aggregated
           expected monthly time deposit maturities.

       The estimated fair value of the Bank's financial instruments are as
       follows (in thousands):

(9)    Regulatory Matters
       ------------------

       The Bank is regulated by the State of New York Banking Department (NYSBD)
           and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and is subject
           to capital adequacy requirements of the FDIC. The Federal Deposit
           Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA), established
           capital levels for which insured institutions will be categorized as
           well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
           significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized.

       Under FDICIA,  a "well  capitalized"  institution must have a risk-based
           capital ratio of 10%, a leverage capital ratio of 5% and a tier 1
           risk-based capital ratio of 6%. The Bank is a "well capitalized"
           institution under the definitions.

       In April 1993, the Bank received a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
           from the FDIC and NYSBD which required the Bank, within specific time
           periods, to take action on thirteen provisions as specified in the
           MOU. At December 31, 1995, the Bank has not fully satisfied the
           following provisions of the MOU: development of a financial plan and
           revision of the lending policies. As there are still instances of
           noncompliance, the FDIC and NYSBD may take further supervisory
           actions as they deem appropriate.

(9)    Regulatory Matters, Continued
       -----------------------------

       The Bank is subject to legal limitations on the amount of dividends it
           can pay. Dividends are limited to net profits for the current periods
           and retained net profits for the two preceding years as defined by
           New York State Banking Law.

(10)   Subsequent Events
       -----------------

       In January 1996, the Bank entered into an agreement to purchase the
           building in which their main office is located from a related party.
           By purchasing the building, the Bank will terminate a long-term lease
           that was to expire in the year 2009. The purchase price is $725,000,
           and the building has been recently appraised at approximately
           $480,000. The agreement is subject to regulatory approval and the
           approval of the Bank's stockholders.

       On February 6, 1996, the Bank entered into a Purchase and Assumption
           Agreement with Center Banks Incorporated and its wholly-owned
           subsidiary, Skaneateles Savings Bank, a New York State chartered
           savings bank (collectively Center Banks), pursuant to which Center
           Banks will acquire substantially all of the Bank's assets and assume
           substantially all of the Bank's deposit liabilities. The transaction,
           which is subject to regulatory approval and the approval of the
           Bank's stockholders, is expected to close in mid-1996.

Note: The book value of assets purchased and liabilities assumed approximate 
their fair value as of December 31, 1995.

(a)  Represents the use of cash by Cicero to purchase its banking office ($725)
     and use of cash ($1,255) to pay portion of liquidating dividend to Cicero 
     stockholders.
(b)  Represents the liquidation of a portion of Cicero's investment portfolio to
     pay remainder of liquidating dividend to Cicero stockholders.
(c)  Represents Cicero's purchase of its banking office (See Note a). The fair
     value of the building, based upon current appraisals, is approximately
     $480. Skaneateles will be paying $725 for the building. In accordance with
     purchase accounting rules, the excess of the purchase price over fair value
     ($245), plus the costs of acquisition, will be capitalized as goodwill and
     amortized straight line over 7 years.
(d)  Represents payment of liquidating dividend to Cicero stockholders.  $225 
     of this amount will be held in
     escrow for a period of 1 year after closing.
(e)  Represents a reduction of Cicero's interest income resulting from the sale
     of investments to pay liquidating dividend to Cicero stockholders (See Note
     b). The reduction is calculated using the average yield on Cicero's
     investment portfolio as of January 1, 1995.
(f)  Represents the reduction of identified expenses resulting from operation as
     a branch office of Skaneateles Savings Bank instead of as an independent
     bank. These estimated reductions are set forth below:
