1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Financial Institutions. Inc. (the "Company") is a bank holding company that was
formed in 1931. The Company owns four commercial banks that operate in Western
and Central New York State: Wyoming County Bank ("WCB"), The National Bank of
Geneva ("NBG"), The Pavilion State Bank ("PSB"), and First Tier Bank & Trust
("FTB") (collectively the "Banks"). The Company is also the parent company of
The FI Group, Inc. ("FIGI"), a brokerage subsidiary that commenced operations on
March 22, 2000.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim
financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included
in the results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and March 31,
1999. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the
Banks and the Company's non-banking subsidiary. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

during the periods indicated. The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share
calculations are identical in the periods presented, as there are, currently, no
instruments having a dilutive effect. The computation of basic and diluted
earnings per common share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and

4. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires the Company to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, with the instruments
measured at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from
changes in fair value of the derivative instrument depends on the intended use
of the derivative and the type of risk being hedged. SFAS No. 133's effective
date was deferred in June 1999 by FASB's issuance of SFAS No. 137, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 133" and is now effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000, although earlier adoption is permitted. Based upon current
activities, the adoption of this statement will not have an effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations. SFAS No. 133 also permits
a reclassification of securities to the available for sale category from the
held to maturity category, at the time the standard is adopted.

The Company's net income for the first quarter of 2000 increased 14.6% to
$4,294,000 compared to $3,746,000 for the first quarter of 1999. Earnings per
share rose 5.9% to $.36 for the first quarter of 2000 from $.34 in the first
quarter of 1999. Return on average common equity was 15.69% for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to 17.05% in the same period in 1999.

Net interest income increased 17.3% to $12,685,000 for the first quarter of 2000
compared to $10,816,000 for the first quarter of 1999. The increase resulted
from a 14.1% growth in average earning assets and a 6 basis point increase in
net interest margin. Average earning assets for the first quarter of 2000
increased to $1,062.4 million from $931.0 million in the first quarter of 1999.
Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2000 was 5.00% compared to 4.94%
for the same period in 1999.

Noninterest income of $2,069,000 for the first quarter of 2000 increased 13.4%
from $1,825,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase is principally derived
from deposit service charges at all four Banks plus increased trust fee income
from the National Bank of Geneva that began offering trust services late in the
fourth quarter of 1999.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2000 was up 14.0% to $7,207,000
from $6,321,000 for the first quarter of 1999. The increase is associated
primarily with staffing levels from expanding lending activities, technological
expenditures associated with expanding the Company's product line and
distribution channels and the opening of a new branch office in a contiguous
market. The Company has effectively deployed resources whereby the Company's
efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2000 was 46.68% compared to 47.74% for
the same period a year ago.

Provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2000 was $835,000 compared to
$525,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in provision for loan
losses is primarily attributed to the growth in the loan portfolio.

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2000 were $7.8 million, a decrease of 3.1%
from $8.1 million at March 31, 1999. When including the impact of government
guarantees, nonperforming assets at March 31, 2000 were $7.1 million compared to
$6.6 million at March 31, 1999.

At March 31, 2000 the Company had total assets of $1,144.9 million, an increase
of 0.7% from $1,136.5 million at December 31, 1999. Loans increased 3.2% to
$788.2 million at March 31, 2000 from $763.7 million at December 31, 1999. Total
deposits were $949.4 million at the recent quarter-end, compared with $949.5
million at December 31, 1999 which reflect normal seasonal trends for the

(1)   Amounts shown are amortized cost for Held To Maturity securities and fair
      value for Available for Sale securities. In order to make pre-tax income
      and resultant yields on tax-exempt securities comparable to those on
      taxable securities and loans, a tax-equivalent adjustment to interest
      earned from tax-exempt securities has been computed using a federal income
      tax rate of 35%.
(2)   Net of deferred loan fees and costs.
(3)   The net interest margin is equal to net interest income divided by average
      interest-earning assets and is presented on an annualized basis.

The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense
during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with
respect to: (1) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by the current year rate); (2) changes attributable to changes in
rate (changes in rate multiplied by the prior year volume); and (3) the net
change. The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have
been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and changes due to
rate.

Year 2000 ("Y2K")

Concerns over the arrival of the Year 2000 ("Y2K") and its impact on the
embedded computer technologies used by financial institutions, among others, led
bank regulatory authorities to require substantial advance testing and
preparations by all banking organizations, including the Company. As of the date
of this filing, the Company has experienced no problems in connection with Y2K,
either in connection with the services and products it provides to its customers
or in connection with the services and products it receives from third party
vendors or suppliers.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company realizes income principally from the differential or spread between
the interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earnings assets and
the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Loan volumes and yields, as well
as the volume of and rates on investments, deposits and borrowings, are affected
by market interest rates. Additionally, because of the terms and conditions of
many of the Company's loan documents and deposit accounts, a change in interest
rates could also affect the projected maturities of the loan portfolio and/or
the deposit base, which could alter the Company's sensitivity to future changes
in interest rates. Accordingly, management considers interest rate risk to be
the Company's most significant market risk.

Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net
interest income within Board approved policy limits while taking into
consideration, among other factors, the Company's overall credit, operating
income, operating cost, and capital profile. The Company's Asset/Liability
Committee (ALCO), which includes senior management and reports to the Board of
Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk to maintain an acceptable
level of change to net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates.

Management of the Company's interest rate risk requires the selection of
appropriate techniques and instruments to be utilized after considering the
benefits, costs and risks associated with available alternatives. Since the
Company does not utilize derivative instruments, management's techniques usually
consider one or more of the following: (1) interest rates offered on products,
(2) maturity terms offered on products, (3) types of products offered, and (4)
products available to the Company in the wholesale market such as advances from
the FHLB.

The Company uses a net interest income and economic value of equity model as one
method to identify and manage its interest rate risk profile. The model is based
on expected cash flows and repricing characteristics for all financial
instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the impact of
changing interest rates on these financial instruments. Assumptions based on the
historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in
interest rates are also incorporated into the model. These assumptions are
inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net
interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest
rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results
due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as
changes in market conditions and management strategies. The Company has
experienced no significant changes in market risk due to changes in interest
rates since the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 1999
dated March 28, 2000 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management also uses the static gap analysis to identify and manage the
Company's interest rate risk profile. Interest sensitivity gap ("gap") analysis
measures the difference between the assets and liabilities repricing or maturing
within specific time periods.
