                            SKANEATELES BANCORP, INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS

Skaneateles Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding company registered
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The results of the Company are
largely dependent upon the results of Skaneateles Savings Bank (the Bank), its
sole subsidiary. Skaneateles Savings Bank is a full service retail bank.

On April 15, 1997, shareholders of the Company approved the Company's proposal
to change its name from Center Banks Incorporated. The name change became
effective April 16, 1997.

The preparation of the consolidated 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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The data in the consolidated balance sheet for December 31, 1996 was derived
from the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders. That data, along with the
other interim financial information presented in the consolidated balance
sheets, statements of income, statements of stockholders' equity and cash flows
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements,
including the notes thereto, contained in the 1996 Annual Report to
Stockholders.

OPINION OF MANAGEMENT

The interim financial statements of the Company included in this Report reflect
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a
fair statement of the financial condition of the Company. All adjustments made
to the interim financial statements were of a normal recurring nature.

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company:

a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated
in consolidation.

b) SECURITIES

The Company classifies its debt securities as either available-for-sale or
held-to-maturity. Equity securities are classified as available-for-sale.
Held-to-maturity securities are those debt securities that the Company has the
ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other securities not included as
held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity
securities are recorded at amortized 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 stockholders' equity until realized.
Transfers of securities between categories are recorded at fair value at the
date of transfer. Unrealized gains or losses associated with transfers of
securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale are recorded as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. The unrealized gains or losses
included in the separate component of equity for securities transferred from
available-for-sale to held-for-maturity are maintained and amortized into
earnings over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment to yield in a
manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of premium or discount on
the associated security.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONT.

A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity
security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings
resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related
security as an adjustment of yield using the effective 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 sold are derived using the specific identification method
for determining the cost of securities sold.

c) LOANS RECEIVABLE

Loans receivable are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of
deferred fees and an allowance for loan losses. Accrual of interest is
discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and
business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower's financial
condition precludes accrual. Generally, interest income is not recognized on
loans which are delinquent over 90 days, and income is subsequently recognized
only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management's
judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal
payments is back to normal, in which case the loan is returned to accrual
status.

Net loan fees and costs are capitalized as an adjustment of loan principal and
amortized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment of yield using the
interest method.

The Bank originates some mortgage loans with the intent to sell. These loans are
carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Gains or losses on sales
of mortgages are recorded equal to the difference between sales proceeds and the
carrying value of the loans. The Bank typically retains the servicing rights to
mortgages sold.

d) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses consists of the provision charged to operations
based upon past loan loss experience, management's evaluation of the loan
portfolio under current economic conditions and such other factors that require
current recognition in estimating loan losses. Loan losses and recoveries of
loans previously written-off are charged or credited to the allowance as
incurred or realized, respectively.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. Management
uses presently available information to recognize losses on loans; however,
future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan
losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based
on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their
examination.

The Company estimates losses on impaired loans based on the present value of
expected future cash flows (discounted at the loan's effective interest rate) or
the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
An impairment loss exists if the recorded investment in a loan exceeds the value
of the loan as measured by the aforementioned methods. A loan is considered
impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally,
all commercial mortgage loans and commercial loans in a delinquent payment
status (90 days or more delinquent) are considered impaired. Residential
mortgage loans, consumer loans, home equity lines of credit and education loans
are evaluated collectively since they are homogenous and generally carry smaller
individual balances. Impairment losses are included as a component of the
allowance for loan losses. Troubled debt restructurings involving a modification
of terms are recorded at fair value as of the date of the transaction. The
Company recognizes interest income on impaired loans using the cash basis of
income recognition. Cash receipts on impaired loans are generally applied
according to the terms of the loan agreement, or as a reduction of principal,
based upon management judgment and the related factors discussed above.

e) PER COMMON SHARE DATA

Per common share data is computed based upon the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents are not included since dilution is
less than 3%.

f) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash,
amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.

g) RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts for consistency
in reporting.

h) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The statement provides
accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishment of liabilities based on a consistent application of a
financial-components approach that focuses on control. It distinguishes
transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured
borrowings. The impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements is not
expected to be material.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 128 ("SFAS
No. 128") Earnings Per Share in February 1997 effective for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. Statement 128 was issued to simplify the computation of EPS
and to make the U.S. standard more compatible with the EPS standards of other
countries. Prior period EPS will be restated after the effective date of this
statement. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 should have no material effect on
earnings per share as the Company does not have a complex capital structure.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130 entitled "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." The statement establishes standards for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains
and losses) in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive
income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a
period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner
sources. The impact of adopting Statement 130, which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997, should not have a material impact on
the Company.

In June 1997, the FASB also issued Statement No. 131 entitled "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The statement requires
publicly-held companies to report financial and other information about key
revenue-producing segments of the entity for which such information is available
and is utilized by the chief operating decision maker. Specific information to
be reported for individual segments includes profit or loss, certain revenue and
expense items and total assets. A reconciliation of segment financial
information to amounts reported in the financial statements would be provided.
Statement 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. At the present time, the effect of adopting the statement has
not been determined.

2.   INCOME TAXES

Income taxes for the second quarter were $247,000 or 35.6% of pre-tax income,
compared with $16,000 or 5.8% of pre-tax income for the year ago quarter. In
1995, the Company had a valuation allowance relating to loan losses that had not
yet been deducted for income tax purposes. The Company generated sufficient
earnings in 1994 through 1996 to enable it to reduce the valuation allowance,
resulting in an effective tax rate less than the statutory rates for 1996. The
Company's effective tax rate is projected to be approximately 35% in 1997.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results 
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
of Operations
- -------------

General
- -------

Skaneateles Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a bank holding company, with
Skaneateles Savings Bank (the "Bank") being its sole subsidiary. The financial
condition and operating results of the Company are largely dependent on the
Bank, its primary investment.

                       Changes in Financial Condition from
                       -----------------------------------
                       December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997
                       ----------------------------------

Assets
- ------

Consolidated assets of the Company were $247.7 million at June 30, 1997, a $5.5
million or 2.3% increase from December 31, 1996.

Loans
- -----

Net loans receivable were $209.3 million at June 30, 1997, an increase of $4.4
million or 2.2% from December 31, 1996. Total loan closings (including
undisbursed funds) were $16.1 million in the second quarter, compared with $18.7
million in the year ago quarter, a decrease of 14.2%. Consumer installment and
commercial loan originations during the quarter increased a combined $6.4
million or 91.8% over the year ago quarter, while residential mortgage
originations decreased $9.1 million or 77% compared with the same period last
year.

As discussed in the Company's 1996 Form 10-K Annual Report, a large portion of
the residential mortgages originated in 1996 was referred to the Bank by
third-party brokers in areas contiguous to the Bank's designated lending area.
Brokers were used to supplement the Bank's own direct originations in order to
meet mortgage lending goals. Increasing competition in mortgage lending,
however, has squeezed margins and profitability. As a result, the Bank shifted
its lending focus in 1996, placing more emphasis on consumer and commercial
loans and less on residential mortgages.

In the third quarter of 1996, the Bank effectively suspended the use of mortgage
brokers, focusing instead on its designated lending area for residential
mortgages, and implemented an indirect lending program, through which it
receives consumer loan applications from Bank-approved automobile, boat and
recreational vehicle dealerships on behalf of their customers to finance their
purchases. This program is expected to be an integral part of the Bank's
consumer loan origination efforts in 1997 and beyond. These applications are
subject to the Bank's normal consumer loan underwriting criteria. Indirect
consumer loan originations in the first half of 1997 totaled approximately $3.3
million or 30.8% of total consumer loan originations.

The Bank's deposit base has grown considerably in 1996 and into 1997, with more
than 11,000 new deposit accounts being added since March 1996, as a result of a
direct mail marketing program. This has provided the Bank with an enormous
opportunity to cross-sell the Bank's credit products, and is expected to be a
significant source of future consumer loan growth.

The increase in commercial loan activity is a direct result of the Bank's
efforts to expand its presence in this part of the local market. The Bank sees
its market niche for commercial loans as being small to mid sized businesses in
central New York, including corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships.
In addition, the Bank has attempted to increase its name recognition in the
business community via advertisements in trade journals and business
publications and participation in trade shows.

In January 1997, the Bank expanded its commercial loan products by offering
dealer floor plans. Through this program the Bank offers revolving credit lines
to local automobile, boat and recreational vehicle dealerships to finance
inventory purchases. As of June 30, 1997, the Bank had total approved dealer
floor plan lines totaling $2.1 million.

On July 1, 1996, the Bank acquired the assets and assumed deposit liabilities of
Cicero Bank. Loans acquired in this transaction totaled $14 million, and
consisted primarily of commercial and consumer loans.

The allowance for loan losses was $1,971,000 at June 30, 1997. Loan loss
provisions of $200,000 in the first half of 1997 were offset by net charge-offs
totaling $343,000.

Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and real estate owned) totaled $3.6
million, or 1.5% of total assets at June 30, 1997, compared with $3.9 million,
or 1.6% of total assets at December 31, 1996, and $2.2 million or 1.0% at June
30, 1996. Included in nonperforming assets at June 30, 1997 were nonaccrual
loans of $2.9 million or 1.4% of gross loans, compared with $3.2 million or 1.5%
at December 31, 1996 and $2.0 million or 1.1% at June 30, 1996. Approximately
48% of the increase in nonaccrual loans at June 30, 1997 compared with June 30,
1996 is attributable to the July 1, 1996 acquisition of Cicero Bank's loan
portfolio.

At June 30, 1997, nonaccrual loans were comprised of 36% residential mortgages,
57% commercial loans and mortgages and 7% consumer loans. At June 30, 1996, the
breakdown was 10% residential mortgages, 89% commercial loans and mortgages and
1% consumer loans. The Company's exposure to losses on nonaccrual loans has not
increased proportionately with the increase in nonaccrual loans because most of
the increase is in residential mortgages, which have a very low risk of loss due
to the nature of the underlying loan collateral. Since January 1, 1994, the
Company's losses on residential mortgages has totaled only $115,000 or .1% of
average residential mortgages outstanding.

The allowance for loan losses covered 68% of nonaccrual loans at June 30, 1997,
compared with coverage of 67% at December 31, 1996 and 88% at June 30, 1996.

Impaired loans, which included troubled debt restructured loans, were $1.1
million and $2.7 million at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Included in
these amounts are $107,000 and $1.6 million of impaired loans for which the
related allowance for loan losses is $19,000 and $277,000, respectively. In
addition, included in the total impaired loans at June 30, 1997 and 1996 are
$976,000 and $1.1 million of impaired loans for which no allowance 





                                       13
<PAGE>   14


is recorded due to the adequacy of collateral values in accordance with SFAS
114. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the second quarter
of 1997 and 1996 was approximately $961,000 and $3.1 million, respectively.

The amount of interest income recognized on impaired loans for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $7,000 and $69,000, respectively.
The amount of interest income recognized on impaired loans for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $7,000 and $131,000 respectively.
The Bank is not committed to lend additional funds to these borrowers.

Potential problem loans at June 30, 1997 amounted to $1.9 million. "Potential
problem loans" are defined as loans which are not included with past due and
non-accrual loans discussed above, but about which management, through normal
internal credit review procedures, has information about possible credit
problems which may result in the borrower's inability to comply with the present
loan repayment terms. There have been no loans classified for regulatory
purposes as loss, doubtful, or substandard that are not included above or which
caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to
comply with repayment terms. In addition, there were no material commitments to
lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were classified as
non-performing.

Deposits
- --------

Total deposits (including advance payments by borrowers for property taxes and
insurance) were $210.1 million at June 30, 1997, compared with $205 million at
December 31, 1996. A $4 million decrease in time certificates was offset by a
$3.8 million increase in savings accounts and a $4.3 million increase in NOW and
demand accounts.

The Bank's deposit strategy for the past year has focused on growing its low
cost transaction account base (savings, checking and NOW accounts), while
reducing its reliance on time certificates. This strategy is supported by an
ongoing direct mail marketing program that was implemented in February 1996.
Transaction accounts comprised 39.9% of total deposits at June 30, 1997, up from
36.9% at December 31, 1996 and 34.9% at June 30, 1996. The direct mail program
is an integral part of the Bank's plan to increase its lower costing transaction
account base and reduce its dependence on higher costing time deposits. In
addition to reducing the Bank's cost of funds, transaction accounts provide a
more stable funding source than time accounts and the Bank earns service fee
income on most transaction accounts.

The following table sets forth deposits by type of account as of the dates
indicated.

Stockholders' equity at June 30, 1997 was $17 million, or $17.79 per share,
compared with $16.2 million or $17.12 per share at December 31, 1996. At June
30, 1997, the Bank's leverage capital ratio was 6.73% and its risk-based capital
ratio was 11.26%. Both capital measurements were in excess of regulatory
requirements.

In July 1997 the Company declared a dividend of $.10 per share payable on August

                     Comparison of the Results of Operations
                     ---------------------------------------

General
- -------

Net income was $447,000 or $.47 per share for the second quarter of 1997,
compared with $262,000 or $.28 per share for the same period in 1996. Income
before taxes increased $416,000 or 149.6% compared with the year ago quarter. A
$505,000 increase in net interest income and a $214,000 increase in other
operating income offset increases in other operating expenses of $232,000 and a
$75,000 increase in loan loss provisions. Income taxes increased $231,000.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

Net interest income is affected by the difference between the yield earned on
interest earning assets and rates paid on interest bearing deposits and
borrowings. The relative amounts of interest earning assets, interest bearing
deposits, and borrowings also impact net interest income levels.

The following table sets forth, for the three months ended June 30, information
regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning
assets and the resulting average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of
interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average cost;
(iii) net interest income; (iv) interest rate spread; (v) net interest-earning
assets; (vi) net yield on interest-earning assets; and (vii) ratio of
interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities. No tax equivalent
adjustments were made.

Net interest income was $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997
compared with $1.9 million for the same period in 1996. For the first six months
of 1997, net interest income was $4.6 million, compared with $3.7 million in the
first half of 1996. The increase for the quarter is attributable to a $22.9
million increase in average earning assets combined with a 52 basis point
increase in the net interest margin.

Average loans outstanding in the second quarter of 1997 were $209.4 million,
compared with $176.7 million in the year ago quarter, an increase of $32.7
million. The Bank acquired loans totaling $14 million from Cicero Bank on July
1, 1996. The rest of the increase resulted from new loan originations.

The Company's earning-asset yield increased 37 basis points in the second
quarter of 1997 compared with the year ago quarter, due mainly to an increase of
22 basis points on loan yields. Mortgage loan yields increased 10 basis points
due in part to slightly higher bond market interest rates, while yields on other
loans increased 35 basis points due in large part to strong growth in consumer
and commercial loans with higher yields relative to the Bank's existing
portfolio.

The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 17 basis points due
to a change in the mix of interest bearing deposits, and to a lower cost of time
certificates. Savings and NOW accounts, which are the Company's lowest costing
source of funds, grew to 31.3% of average interest bearing deposits in the first
quarter of 1997, up from 28.5% in the year ago quarter. The cost of time
certificates decreased 19 basis points as some longer term, higher rate accounts
renewed at generally lower rates in the first half of 1997. In addition, many
customers moved their funds into shorter maturity accounts in the first half of
1997 in anticipation of rising rates.

The net interest margin, which is equal to net interest income divided by
average interest-earning assets, was 4.16% for the second quarter of 1997, up
from 3.65% in the year ago quarter. The margin for the first half of 1997 was
4.06%, compared with 3.64% in the first half of 1996.

Other Operating Income
- ----------------------

Total other operating income was $449,000 in the second quarter of 1997, an
increase of $218,000 or 94.4% from the second quarter of 1996. Other operating
income for the first half of 1997 was $870,000, up $374,000 or 75.4% from the
year ago period. Service charges and fee income generated by the growth in the
Company's checking and savings accounts has been the main contributor to the
increase.

Other Operating Expenses
- ------------------------

Total other operating expenses were $2 million for quarter ended June 30, 1997,
compared with $1.8 million for the same period in 1996. Other operating expenses
for the first half of 1997 were $4 million, compared with $3.4 million in the
first half of 1996. The increase is directly attributable to current and planned
future asset growth.
