A  complete  description  of the  securities  offered  is set  forth on pages 24
through 28 herein.
(1)       No salesmen will be employed to solicit the sale of these  securities,
          and no  commission  or  discount  will be paid or allowed to anyone in
          connection with their sale.
(2)       It is assumed that all  securities  offered are sold and the amount of
          proceeds is before  deduction of  estimated  expenses of $68,586 to be
          paid  by  Telmark,  which  includes  legal  fees,  state  and  federal
          registration fees, printing,  trustee fees,  accounting fees and other
          miscellaneous  expenses.  Because  there  is no  underwriting  of  the
          securities offered,  there is no assurance that all or any part of the
          indicated  proceeds  will be received by the Company from the offering
          of the securities.
(3)       Includes [$6 million] of Debentures  that were  previously  registered
          with  the  Commission  and  offered  pursuant  to a  Prospectus  dated
          September 14, 1996.  Those  securities are being offered hereby on the
          same  terms as the other  Debentures  being  registered.  A filing fee
          relating to those securities was paid in connection with the filing of
          the original registration statement relating to those securities (Reg.
          No. 33-84442).

The company may,  from time to time prior to the  completion  of the offering of
the Debentures, change the rate of interest or maturity date offered by filing a
supplement  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange   Commission.   The  applicable
supplement,  if any,  will be  attached  to this  Prospectus.  Any change in the
interest  rate or maturity  date offered will not affect the rate of interest on
or maturity date of any Debentures theretofore issued.

The  Debentures are unsecured obligations of the Company and subordinated to all
Senior Debt  (as  defined  herein) of the Company.  As of July 31, 1996, Senior 
Debt of $280,944,445  was  outstanding.  See "Description of  the  Debentures - 
Subordination Provisions."

There can be no assurance  that the  Debentures  offered  hereby will be sold or
that there will be a secondary market for the Debentures.

                            THE OFFERING (CONTINUED)

Interest....................  Interest on  the 7.25%  Debentures  due  March 31,
                              2000,  is payable at a rate per annum equal to the
                              greater  of:  (1) the  "stated  rate" of 7.25% per
                              annum;  and,  (2)  the  "Treasury  Bill  Rate"  as
                              defined below under  "Description  of Debentures -
                              Interest."

                              Interest  on the 7.50%  Debentures,  due March 31,
                              2002,  is payable at a rate per annum equal to the
                              greater  of:  (1) the  "stated  rate" of 7.50% per

                              below under "Description of Debentures  Interest."
                              The  company  may,  from time to time prior to the
                              completion  of the  offering  of  the  Debentures,
                              change  the rate of  interest  offered by filing a
                              supplement   with  the   Securities  and  Exchange
                              Commission.  The  applicable  supplement,  if any,
                              will be attached to this Prospectus. Any change in
                              the interest rate offered will not affect the rate
                              of interest on any Debentures theretofore issued.

Interest Payment Dates......  Interest  will  be payable quarterly in arrears on
                              January 1,  April 1, July 1 and  October 1 of each
                              year and on the Maturity  Date as set forth in the

                              Additional  amounts may be added to the  principal
                              of the  Debenture  pursuant  to an election by the
                              holder thereof to have quarterly payments added to
                              and   increase   the   principal   amount  of  the
                              Debenture.   See   "Description  of  Debentures  -
                              Payments of Principal and Interest."

Optional Redemption.........  Upon  not  less  than  30 days written notice, the
                              Debentures  are  redeemable  on a designated  date
                              (each such date, a "Redemption Date"), in whole or
                              in part,  at the  option  of the  Company,  at the
                              principal  amount  thereof,  together with accrued
                              but unpaid interest  thereon.  See "Description of
                              the Debentures - Redemption Provisions."

Ranking.....................  The Debentures are subordinated to all Senior Debt
                              (as defined herein) of the Company.  Therefore, in
                              the event of any distribution of assets of Telmark
                              under any total  liquidation or  reorganization of
                              Telmark,  the  holders of all Senior Debt shall be
                              entitled  to receive  payment  in full  before the
                              holders of the  Debentures are entitled to receive
                              any  payment.  In  addition  to its  subordination
                              provisions,  the  Indenture  contains only limited
                              restrictions  on  highly  leveraged  transactions,
                              reorganizations, restructuring, mergers or similar
                              transactions  involving  the  Company,  which  may
                              adversely  affect the  holders of the  Debentures.
                              See "Description of the Debentures - Subordination
                              Provisions."

Use of Proceeds.............  The Company  intends to  ultimately use the entire
                              net  proceeds   from  this  offering  to  purchase
                              equipment and  buildings  for lease.  Pending such
                              application,  the net  proceeds may be used to (i)
                              reduce outstanding  borrowings,  if any, under the
                              Company's  line of credit  agreements or (ii) fund
                              maturing Senior Debt. See "Use of Proceeds."

Settlement and Issue Date ..  Persons interested in purchasing Debentures should
                              forward their  completed  application  and a check
                              (personal,  cashiers or  certified) or money order
                              payable to the  Company in an amount  equal to the
                              principal amount of the Debenture to be purchased.
                              Applications  are available at certain Company and
                              Agway  locations.  Applications  generally will be
                              processed  by the Company  within five to ten days
                              of the date of  receipt by the  Company,  at which
                              time  they will be  forwarded  to the  trustee  to
                              authenticate,   who  in  turn  will   forward  the
                              Debenture  to the  applicant.  The "Issue Date" is
                              defined as the first day of the month in which the
                              application  and  proceeds  are  received  by  the
                              Company for such Debenture.

                                  RISK FACTORS

GENERAL PORTFOLIO RISK
The principal assets of the Company are its portfolio of outstanding  leases and
the residual value of equipment or other property under lease.  Investment risks
inherent in any leasing  company  include the  possibility  that lessees fail to
make the  payments  required  under a lease and that the  equipment  or property
leased  might  be sold at lease  expiration  for less  than the  residual  value
anticipated at the initiation of the lease.  The Company's  leasing business may
be affected by general  economic  conditions,  including the level of inflation,
fluctuations in general business  conditions,  and the availability of financing
to the Company and its  customers.  The  Company's  business is  dependent  upon
continued  demand  for  leases as a  financing  vehicle  and would be  adversely
affected  by  customer  use of other  finance  methods in  acquiring  the use of
equipment such as the election to purchase equipment.

CREDIT  RISK.  Bankruptcies,  contract  disputes,  or defaults by lessees  could
result in the  nonpayment  of amounts due to the Company  under its leases.  The
ultimate  collectibility  of amounts due under its leases is directly  dependent
upon the credit practices  employed by Telmark and the  creditworthiness  of the
individual  leases  comprising its portfolio.  See "Business of Telmark - Credit
Policies."  Despite  current  credit  practices  and the  existence of financial
reserves to anticipate the potential  impact of default or nonpayment of leases,
there are other  factors that could  significantly  impact the  Company's  lease
collection experience and its earnings. These factors include changes in general
economic  conditions,  government farm policy,  adverse  weather  conditions and
international  commodities  prices  which are beyond the control of the Company.
Some of these risks are  related to  Telmark's  concentration  of  customers  in
particular  segments of  agriculture  or specific  geographic  areas.  Telmark's
business is  concentrated in agriculture in the New England,  Mid-Atlantic,  and
Midwest  states  with  approximately  75%  of its  leases  directly  related  to
production agriculture. At June 30, 1996, approximately 52% of the Company's net
lease investment was in the states of Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Adverse  developments  in any of  these  areas  of  concentration  could  have a
corresponding adverse effect on the collectibility of its lease receivables. See
"Risk Factors - Agricultural Economy."

RESIDUAL VALUE RISK.  Residual  values  represent the estimated  resale value of
leased  equipment or other leased property that the Company expects to derive as
leases expire.  Residual  values of leased assets are estimated at the time that
the  leases are  written.  Realization  of  residual  values  depends on several
factors  not  within  the  Company's  control,  such  as  the  condition  of the
equipment,  the cost of comparable new equipment and  technological  or economic
obsolescence of the equipment.  Telmark has generally not experienced any losses
as a result of the failure to realize estimated residual values on equipment and
property  lease  expirations.  During  the past eight  years,  the  Company  has
collected  slightly over 100% of the net lease  receivable  for all leases which
terminated.  The net lease  receivable with respect to a lease equals the sum of
payments due to the Company under the lease, the estimated residual value of the
leased  property  at the end of the  lease  and the net  costs  incurred  by the
Company in entering into the lease,  less imputed unearned  interest and finance
charges  with  respect to the lease.  Although  there can be no  assurance  this
experience will continue in the future,  Company  management  monitors  residual
collections and anticipates this trend to continue.  Failure to realize residual
values  could have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  earnings.  See
"Business of Telmark - Residual Value."

FINANCING
The ongoing  availability  of  adequate  financing  to maintain  the size of the
Company's current lease portfolio and to permit lease portfolio growth is key to
the  Company's  continuing  profitability  and  stability.  Telmark's  principal
sources of financing include banks,  debt placements with private  institutional
investors,  and Debentures sold to the public; at June 30, 1996, these financing
sources provided  approximately 49%, 43% and 8%, respectively,  of the Company's
outstanding  debt.  Telmark has been  successful in arranging its past financing
needs and believes that its current financing  arrangements are adequate to meet
its foreseeable operating requirements. There can be no assurance, however, that
Telmark will be able to obtain future  financing in amounts that are  sufficient
or on terms that are  acceptable.  The  Company's  inability to obtain  adequate
financing  would  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  its  operations.   See
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operation Liquidity and Capital Resources."

INTEREST RATE RISK AFFECTING THE COMPANY
The  Company  endeavors  to limit the  effects of changes in  interest  rates by
matching as closely as possible, on an ongoing basis, the maturity and repricing
characteristics  of funds  borrowed to finance its leasing  activities  with the
maturity and repricing  characteristics of its lease portfolio.  However, a rise
in interest  rates would  increase the cost of funds  borrowed by the Company to
finance  its  leasing  business  and  could  lower  the  value of the  Company's
outstanding  leases in the secondary market.  See  "Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and

                                        5

<PAGE>

                            RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)

Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital  Resources."  In addition,  higher
interest  rates,  inasmuch as they would  increase the cost of funds borrowed by
the Company for financing its leases,  would also increase the cost of leases to
potential lessees and could decrease the demand for the Company's leases.

SUBORDINATION
The Debentures are unsecured  obligations of the Company and are subordinated to
all Senior Debt (as defined herein) of the Company.  Therefore,  in the event of
bankruptcy,  liquidation or  reorganization  of the Company,  its assets will be
available to pay  obligations of the  Debentures  only after all Senior Debt has
been paid in full,  and  there may not be  sufficient  assets  remaining  to pay
amounts due on any or all of the  Debentures  then  outstanding.  As of July 31,
1996,  Senior Debt of  $280,944,445  was  outstanding.  See  "Description of the
Debentures - Subordination Provisions."

LIMITED PROTECTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
In addition to its subordination provisions, the Indenture contains only limited
restrictions on highly leveraged transactions,  reorganizations,  restructuring,
mergers or similar  transactions  involving  the  Company,  which may  adversely
affect the holders of the Debentures.  See "Description of Debentures - General"
and "Description of Debentures - Subordination Provisions."

NO UNDERWRITING
The  offering of  the Debentures  is not  being  underwritten.  Accordingly,  no
underwriter,  such  as  an  investment  bank, has  undertaken  a review  of  the
corporate  records  of  the  Company,  evaluated  its  financial  conditions, or
evaluated the terms of the Debentures and this offering, including the Company's
ability  to  meet  its  payment  obligations  on  the  Debentures.  See "Plan of
Distribution."

CONTROL OF THE COMPANY
Agway owns all of the voting  stock of the Company  through  subsidiaries.  This
ownership  permits  Agway  to  control  all  corporate  actions  of the  Company
(including the payment of dividends by the Company to Agway) and could result in
the  Company  taking  actions  that would  adversely  affect its ability to make
payments  of  principal   or  interest  on  the   Debentures.   See   "Principal
Stockholder," "Directors and Management," and "Executive Compensation."

AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY
The  financial  condition  of the  Company  is  indirectly  affected  by factors
influencing the agricultural economy,  since these factors impact the demand for
equipment  leased  by the  Company  and the  ability  of its  customers  to make
payments  on  leases.  These  factors  include:  (i)  changes  in the  level  of
government  expenditures  on farm  programs and the  elimination  of the acreage
reduction  programs could  adversely  affect the level of income of customers of
the Company; (ii) adverse weather-related  conditions that negatively impact the
agricultural  productivity  and income of customers  of the  Company;  and (iii)
oversupply  of, or reduced  demand  for,  agricultural  commodities  produced by
customers of the Company.  To the extent that these factors adversely affect the
customers of the Company, the financial condition of the Company and the ability
of the Company to make payments on the Debentures  could be adversely  affected.
See "Business of Telmark - Agricultural Economy."

LACK OF GUARANTEE
Although Agway owns all of the common stock of the Company through subsidiaries,
neither Agway nor any of its subsidiaries guarantees the  payment of interest on
or the principal of the Debentures.  See "Management's Discussion  and  Analysis
of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  -  Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET, REDEMPTION AND MARKET RISK
There is no market for the  Debentures and there is no intent on the part of the
Company to create or encourage a trading  mechanism  for these  Debentures.  The
Company does not intend to apply for listing of the Debentures on any securities
exchange. The secondary market for, and the market value of, the Debentures will
be  affected  by a number of  factors  independent  of the  creditworthiness  of
Telmark,  including  the level and  direction of interest  rates,  the remaining
period to maturity of the Debentures,  Telmark's right to redeem the Debentures,
the  aggregate  principal  amount  of the  Debentures  and the  availability  of
comparable  investments.  In addition, the market value of the Debentures may be
affected by numerous other interrelated  factors,  including factors that affect
the U.S. corporate debt market generally and Telmark specifically.

<PAGE>




                            RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED)

There is no assurance that: (1) a secondary  market value of the Debentures will
develop,  (2) any  secondary  market  will  continue,  (3) the price at which an
investor can sell the  Debentures  will enable the investor to realize a desired
yield on that investment, or (4) in the event of redemption the investor will be
able to reinvest the proceeds in comparable  securities at an effective interest
rate as high as that of the  Debentures.  The market value of the  Debentures is
likely to fluctuate;  such  fluctuations  may be significant and could result in
significant  losses to investors.  Debenture  holders  should rely solely on the
Company's  ability to repay  principal at maturity of the offered  Debentures as
the source for liquidity in this investment.

COMPETITION
The  Company  competes  with  finance  affiliates  of  equipment  manufacturers,
agricultural  financial  institutions,  other  independent  finance  and leasing
companies,  and commercial banks. Many of these  organizations  have substantial
financial  and other  resources  and as a  consequence  are able to compete on a
long-term basis within the market segment that the Company  serves.  The Company
believes its leasing products and services will  effectively  serve its intended
markets  in  the  foreseeable  future  and  that  existing  competition,   while
formidable,  will not impair  prospects  for growth.  See "Business of Telmark -
Competition."

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

There is no  assurance  that all or any of the  Debentures  will be sold and the
Company has no minimum amount of Debentures which must be sold as a condition to
the  sale  of the  Debentures.  The net  proceeds  of the  sale  of the  offered
securities  will be no greater  than  [$28,000,000].  The  Company  will use net
proceeds  to  purchase   equipment  and   buildings  for  lease.   Pending  such
application,  the net proceeds may be used to (i) reduce outstanding borrowings,
if any,  under the Company's  line of credit  agreements,  or (ii) fund maturing
Senior Debt.  The Company  intends to ultimately  use the entire net proceeds of
the sale of the offered  securities  to purchase  equipment  and  buildings  for
lease.  See  "Notes  to  Financial  Statements  - Note  5" with  respect  to the
outstanding indebtedness of the Company.

Telmark was organized in 1964 under the Business Corporation Law of the State of
New York. It is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Agway  Holdings,  Inc. which is an
indirect  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Agway.  Telmark  currently  employs  185
persons.

The Company's  operations  are comprised  almost  exclusively  of direct finance
leasing of agricultural related equipment,  vehicles and buildings to farmers or
other  rural  businesses  that  serve  the  agricultural   marketplace  (herein,
"customers" or "lessees").  The Company's  leases offer customers an alternative
to directly  purchasing or borrowing to purchase as a means of acquiring the use
of  equipment,  vehicles or buildings.  Telmark has branded its leasing  service
with the registered  trademark,  Agrilease(R).  It also uses TFS(SM) to identify
its services  through  dealers of selected  manufacturer  products.  The Company
highlights  its  service-oriented  approach,  using the  tagline  "The  Flexible
Financing Alternative(SM)" in its advertisements and product brochures.  Telmark
offers a variety of lease financing packages,  with varying payment schedules on
a monthly,  quarterly,  semiannual  or annual  basis,  depending on the expected
timing of customer  cash flows and customer  credit  quality and the  customer's
individual preferences.

With a direct finance lease the customers have use of the leased property over a
specified term for a periodic rental charge:  the lease payment.  Lease payments
are made in advance of the period and  typically  the  equivalent of two monthly
payments are required in advance at the outset of the lease. Most direct finance
leases offered are for a period which does not exceed the Company's  estimate of
the useful life (based on Telmark's  estimate of customers use) of the equipment
or the building  leased.  Equipment  leases generally do not exceed eight years.
Building  leases are  typically  offered for longer terms (e.g.,  5 to 10 years)
than for equipment leases, up to maximum terms of 15 years. As of June 30, 1996,
the Company's  outstanding  leases had an average original term of 4.8 years and
average remaining term of 3.8 years.

Generally, the lessee selects the supplier of the equipment or other property to
be leased and the Company is not responsible for its  suitability,  performance,
life, or any other  characteristics.  In some cases, the financing is offered to
the ultimate customer through a dealer of a selected manufacturer. The Company's
only  responsibility  is to buy the property from the supplier,  lease it to the
lessee,  and collect the lease  payments.  The lessee assumes all obligations of
insurance, repairs, maintenance,  service, and property taxes. At the expiration
of the direct finance

lease term, the lessee has an option to (i) purchase the leased  property,  (ii)
renew the lease, or (iii) return the leased  property to the Company.  In 95% of
the Company's lease  transactions,  the lessee  purchases the leased property or
equipment upon termination of the lease.

The  Company  realizes  most of its net  earnings  (profits)  to the extent that
revenues  from its leases  exceeds the Company's  operating  expenses and income
taxes. The Company's "revenue" from a lease is the sum of all payments due under
the lease  plus the  residual  value of the  leased  property,  less the cost of
purchasing the leased property.  "Operating  expenses" include interest expense,
provision  for credit  losses (the dollar amount the Company sets aside to cover
its  estimated  losses should a lessee fail to make  required  payments  under a
lease),  and  selling  and general and  administrative  expenses  including  the
Company's  payroll  costs,  rent,  advertising  costs and fees  paid for  credit
checking and legal and  accounting  services.  "Interest  expense" is the single
largest  operating cost of the Company and is primarily the interest it must pay
on the amounts borrowed by the Company from banks and other investors to finance
its  leases.  An example of how a direct  finance  lease  transaction  generates
profits for the Company is set forth below.

A potential  customer  determines  that he needs to acquire a machine to harvest
his corn.  He selects a harvester  and enters into a lease with Telmark for that
particular  machine.  Telmark  purchases the harvester using funds it borrows or
with available cash on hand.  Under terms of the lease,  the customer  agrees to
make lease  payments to Telmark.  At the end of the lease term, the customer may
(i) purchase the harvester  from Telmark for its fair market value,  (ii) extend
the lease on terms  agreed to by  Telmark,  or (iii)  return  the  harvester  to
Telmark.  Telmark  makes a profit on the lease to the extent that the sum of the
lease payments  collected  during the lease term plus the proceeds from the sale
or re-lease of the  equipment  after the initial  lease term exceeds the cost of
the equipment and other operating expenses.

The  Company  occasionally  sells  portions  of its "net lease  receivables"  to
provide an additional source of capital for the Company, and such sales may also
produce net earnings for the Company. The net lease receivable with respect to a
lease  equals  the sum of  payments  due to the  Company  under the  lease,  the
estimated  residual value of the leased property at the end of the lease and the
net costs  incurred  by the  Company in entering  into the lease,  less  imputed
unearned  interest and finance  charges  with  respect to the lease.  During the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1994,  1993,  and 1992,  Telmark sold $5.5  million,
$10.7 million, and $21.4 million respectively, of certain net lease receivables.
The Company did not sell any lease  receivables in 1995 or 1996. Under the terms
of these sales, in the event the purchasers do not receive payment when due with
respect  to the  receivables  purchased,  the  purchaser  has the  right to seek
recovery of such  unpaid  amounts  from the  Company up to an amount  equal to a
maximum of 7.5% of the proceeds from such sales. The lease  receivables sold are
not  included  in the  Company's  financial  statements  except to the extent of
proceeds  realized  from their sale.  The  Company,  however,  does  include the
outstanding  balances of these lease receivables in the term "Leases"  discussed
below for  statistical  purposes.  The Company  continues  to service the leases
relating to such lease  receivables on behalf of the purchasers.  As of June 30,
1996, the remaining balances on net lease receivables sold was approximated $5.6
million. See "Business of Telmark - Portfolio Mix" and "Management's  Discussion
and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations - Liquidity and
Capital Resources."

PORTFOLIO MIX
Telmark finances  agricultural and related equipment,  vehicles and buildings of
both a general and  specialized  nature.  As  exemplified  by the following four
schedules,  the Company has a portfolio of leases which are diverse with respect
to the type of equipment to which they relate, their dollar amount, the industry
involved and their geographic  origination.  Such diversification helps mitigate
adverse  circumstances  affecting  particular  industry,  geographic  and  other
segments of the Company's business, to the extent that such circumstances do not
adversely affect the entire business of the Company.

"Leases" in the Company's portfolio are defined by the Company for the following
statistical  purposes as amounts due to it by lessees under all of the Company's
outstanding leases (known as "gross lease receivables") and includes leases sold
(the collection of which is  administered  by the Company) and excludes  imputed
unearned  interest  and  finance  charges.  As of June  30,  1996,  Telmark  had
approximately $397.1 million of Leases outstanding.

Equipment  which  the  Company  leases  includes  milking  machines,   tractors,
combines,  feed processing  equipment and forestry equipment (e.g., log skidders
and log harvesting equipment); vehicles leased include trucks, trailers and fork
lifts;  and buildings  leased include barn  structures,  silos and  greenhouses.
Approximately 10% of the equipment leases are for used equipment. The percentage
of leases by equipment type has generally remained constant and the Company does
not anticipate significant changes in the types of equipment to be leased. Given
the nature of the equipment leased and the generally  short-term duration of its
leases,  the Company has not been adversely affected by, and does not anticipate
being  adversely  affected by significant  technological  developments  that may
affect the value of the equipment  leased to customers.  The breakdown of leases
by equipment type is as follows:

Telmark  maintains a large customer base which  includes over 18,000  customers.
The minimum  purchase price of equipment  which the Company  finances is $1,500.
Approximately  30% of the Company's  customers hold more than one lease with the
Company.  In  order  to limit  its  credit  exposure  to  particular  customers,
Telmark's Board of Directors maintains a policy which precludes any one customer
from  accounting  for more  than  2.5% of the  dollar  amount  of the  Company's
outstanding  Leases,  except for Agway and  affiliates.  Currently,  no customer
accounts for more than 1.0% of the dollar  amount of the  Company's  outstanding
Leases.  Telmark's  average lease size at origination is approximately  $24,000.

The largest industry  concentrations are in dairy, crops,  forestry,  livestock,
and  transportation.  These  industries  may be impacted  differently by various
factors including changing economic  conditions,  technological  advances in the
equipment and  agricultural  sector,  government  regulation and subsidies,  and
domestic  and  international  consumer  demand,  among  others.  Generally,  the
diversity of  enterprises  served by the Company  helps keep any single  adverse
trend from  having an adverse  effect on the  ability of all  customers  to meet
their lease  obligations.  For example,  a long period of low grain prices could
reduce the ability of grain farmers to meet their obligations, but the low grain
prices  would  reduce the feed costs paid by dairy  farmers,  thereby  making it
easier to meet their lease obligations.  The breakdown  of leases by industry is
as follows:

The aforementioned industries are defined as follows: Dairy is the production of
milk; it is sold in the raw state to a processor. Forestry is the harvesting and
initial  processing of forest products.  The wood is sold in the form of logs or
rough cut lumber.  Crops is the  production of grain or hay; it is sold in bulk.
Livestock is the production of animals. The animals are generally sold live to a
processor.  Transportation is the movement of products by truck.  Products being
moved are generally farm input (e.g., fertilizer,  feed) items being transported
to farms or farm products going to market.  Orchard/Vegetable  is the production
of fruits and vegetables. They may be sold in bulk to a processor or sold by the
farmer in smaller quantities directly to consumers. Landscaping is generally the
grooming and design of outdoor decorative plantings. Customers of the landscaper
would generally  include both retail and commercial  accounts.  Miscellaneous is
the aggregate of all other types of accounts.

At June 30, 1996,  leases  originated in the states of Michigan,  New York, Ohio
and Pennsylvania  accounted for  approximately 52% of the total lease portfolio.
Pennsylvania and New York have  historically  been the most significant in terms
of lease activity due to the large number of dairy farms located there. However,
the Company's business continues to expand  geographically and its concentration
of leases in Pennsylvania and New York has been reduced from  approximately  68%
in 1984 to 30% in 1996.  The Company's  continued  expansion into new geographic
markets  mitigates the potential  adverse effect on the Company of circumstances
which may  impact  these  markets  such as state and  local  regulations,  local
economic  conditions,  and  weather  conditions  (i.e.,  floods,  drought).  For
example,  if poor growing  conditions such as early or late frost, hail, or lack
of rain  reduce the apple  crop in western  New York,  the  orchard  enterprises
located  there  could lose part of their  normal  crop;  however,  the  Michigan
orchard  enterprises  might  enjoy  higher  prices and income  because of higher
demand for their apples. The geographic distribution of leases is as follows:

CREDIT POLICIES
Potential  lessees undergo a thorough  credit  approval  process after a Telmark
field   representative   completes   a   financial   application.   The  Telmark
representative  is  responsible  for  obtaining  the most  accurate  information
possible for a proper application review. Personal observation and meetings with
the customer  assist the Telmark  representative  in  providing a  comprehensive
evaluation of the lease application.

The credit search usually begins with  electronic  credit bureau systems such as
TRW, Inc. and local or regional  creditors such as banks. For Agway  cooperative
members,   the  Agway  credit  system  provides  additional   information.   For
contemplated transactions of over $100,000, a county court house search provides
records of any existing liens against the lessee.  Telmark  retains title to the
equipment or building leased.  In addition,  Telmark often obtains a second lien
on the real  estate  owned by the farmer or lessee as  collateral  for  payments
under a building lease. In the event of a default on the lease,  the second lien
entitles Telmark to foreclose on the real estate property and take title subject
to any and all prior liens on the property. Upon foreclosure, if this collateral
is insufficient to cover all existing liens,  prior lienholders may receive more
than Telmark.  Thus,  Telmark looks first to the lessee's  historical and future
ability  to  service  its  debt and  lease  payments,  and then to the  mortgage
position of a lease collateralized by real estate.

Credit approvals are made based on the total amount outstanding to the customer.
Lending  authority is assigned to members of  management  depending on position,
training, and experience. Generally amounts up to $200,000 require approval from
one of five Regional Credit Managers.  Amounts over $200,000 are approved by the
Director of Credit or a committee of senior  management.  The Board of Directors
must approve all amounts exceeding $1,000,000.

Telmark  maintains  monthly  delinquency  reports which monitor leases that have
been  delinquent  (i.e.,  payment  due has not been made) for over 30 days,  and
non-earning leases.  Generally,  accounts past due at least 120 days, as well as
accounts in foreclosure or bankruptcy,  are  transferred to non-earning  status.
Non-earning  accounts  cannot become  current unless all past due lease payments
are paid or the lease is amended.  As of June 30, 1996,  non-earning leases were
 .7% of the Company's  net  investment  in leases  before  allowances  for credit
losses.  The  potential  losses from  non-earning  leases are  mitigated  by the
ability of the Company to  repossess  leased  property and to foreclose on other
property  in which  the  Company  has been  granted  a  security  interest.  See
"Business of Telmark - Portfolio Mix."

CREDIT POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Leases may be amended  by  Telmark  and a lessee to change the terms,  remaining
amount,  and payment  schedule for the remaining  lease balance.  There is a fee
collected  for the  amendment.  All  lease  amendments  are  supported  by legal
documentation and, as management deems appropriate, a new credit evaluation.

The Company maintains  financial reserves (provision for credit losses) to cover
losses in its existing lease  portfolio  from default or  nonpayment.  Telmark's
provision for credit losses is determined by a periodic  evaluation of the lease
portfolio,   including  analysis  of  delinquent   accounts,   current  economic
conditions,  estimated  residual values and credit worthiness of customers.  The
provision reflects management's estimates of the inherent credit risk within the
portfolio.

RESIDUAL VALUE
The Company  generally  estimates the residual value at the end of a lease to be
10% of the  purchase  price on a piece of new  equipment  and 15% of the  market
value at inception for a building. It is not possible to forecast with certainty
the value of any equipment upon  termination  of the lease.  The market value of
used equipment  depends upon, among other things,  its physical  condition,  the
supply and demand for  equipment  of its type and its  remaining  useful life in
relation to the cost of new equipment at the time the lease terminates.  Telmark
has generally not  experienced  any losses as a result of the failure to realize
estimated  residual values on equipment and property lease  expirations.  During
the past eight years,  the Company has  collected  slightly over 100% of the net
lease receivable for all leases which terminated.  The net lease receivable with
respect  to a lease  equals the sum of  payments  due to the  Company  under the
lease,  the estimated  residual  value of the leased  property at the end of the
lease and the net costs incurred by the Company in entering into the lease, less
imputed  unearned  interest and finance charges with respect to the lease.  This
residual  performance  can be attributed  to the  Company's  ability to sell the
equipment, vehicle or building to the original lessee at the end of the lease in
over 95% of the Company's  transactions.  Management  believes that obsolescence
factors,  such as technological  sophistication and computerization  have only a
moderate effect on the farming equipment sector and that agricultural  equipment
will continue to show strong residual values.

INSURANCE COVERAGE
Under a Company lease,  the customer assumes the obligation to insure the leased
property  against claims arising from the customer's use of the leased property.
The Company may be exposed to liability from claims by lessees and third parties
including  claims  due to the  lessees'  use of the  property  or defects in the
property.  However,  in general direct finance  lessors such as the Company have
not been held  liable for such  claims.  In  addition,  the leases  provide  the
Company protection against such liability claims.  Under the terms of each lease
the Company  disclaims such  liability and the customer  agrees to indemnify the
Company  for any claim or action  arising in  connection  with the  manufacture,
selection, purchase, delivery, possession, use, operation, maintenance, leasing,
and return of the equipment leased. The Company requires the customer to provide
insurance  coverage  naming  the  Company  as an  additional  insured in certain
circumstances  and has insurance  coverage for most liability  claims against it
through insurance policies purchased by Agway.

AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY
The  Company is  indirectly  affected by factors  that  affect the  agricultural
economy in which its customers  operate.  These factors include (i) governmental
agricultural  programs,  (ii)  weather  conditions,  and (iii) supply and demand
conditions  with respect to agricultural  commodities.  These factors may affect
the  economic  vitality  of  the  Company's  customers  and  consequently  their
decisions to lease  equipment or property  for their  businesses  as well as the
ability of these customers to make the required payments on their leases.

Government Subsidies. In the 1990's, federal budgetary constraints have resulted
in decreased  government  spending  programs,  including the farm  subsidies and
programs  participated  in by  certain  Telmark  customers.  Government  program
changes that may affect the Company  include  elimination  of price supports and
acreage reduction programs. Price support programs included the establishment of
minimum prices for certain commodities as well as the purchase by the Government
of excess  supplies of such  commodities.  Under the  recently  enacted  Federal
Agricultural  Improvement and Reform (FAIR) Act,  farmers of crops covered under
previous programs can utilize "contract  acreage" the way they choose as opposed
to having the use dictated by a government  subsidy  program.  This will require
the farmer to have  marketing  management  skills  that  capitalize  on the free
market  approach,  and could yield both a greater  profit  potential and greater

                         BUSINESS OF TELMARK (CONTINUED)

AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY (CONTINUED)

Generally,  FAIR is expected to improve the U.S. farm outlook by providing  crop
farmers with more control over their growing plans and provides more opportunity
in the world  market  based on market  demand.  Over seven  years,  farmers will
adjust  from  past  government  programs  through  declining  market  transition
payments. The dairy portion of FAIR reduces subsidies over four years to avoid a
sudden  drop-out  of dairy  farms and give  businesses  time to adjust over four
years.  Farmers will need to develop  management and marketing skills to control
their marketplace.

All the new  FAIR  programs  increase  the  profit  and the  risk  potential  of
participating  farmers and the  existence  and  magnitude of these  programs may
influence  those farmers'  decisions to lease equipment and the ability of those
farmer customers to continue to make payments on their Telmark leases.

The overall impact of these programs on Telmark is uncertain.  The  availability
of these programs varies widely by crop, commodity and geographic region as does
the level of benefits received by a particular farmer. In addition,  elimination
of  programs,  such as  acreage  reduction  programs,  may  increase  demand for
equipment  leased by Telmark to the extent that such  changes  result in farmers
increasing their production of certain crops.

Weather.  Adverse weather conditions can have varying effect on the customers of
the Company depending on the region  experiencing such conditions.  When adverse
conditions occur in the region served by the Company, the effect can be negative
as was the case in 1992 when many parts of the Northeast,  the Company's primary
territory,  experienced a relatively  cold summer and a wet fall. This adversely
impacted grape farmers (whose crops never matured and had poorer sugar content),
as well as  potato,  vegetable  and  grain  farmers.  However,  adverse  weather
conditions  occurring in other regions may be  advantageous  to the customers of
the Company.  For example,  the floods occurring in parts of the Midwest and the
droughts  which  occurred  in parts of the West and  Southwest  in 1993  reduced
output in those  areas  which  increased  the demand for crops  grown by Telmark
customers. Inclement weather can also benefit Telmark's food processor customers
to the extent that it increases  demand for frozen or canned products as opposed
to fresh products.

Commodities  Demand.  Supply and demand  conditions with respect to agricultural
commodities  produced by customers of the Company can be affected by a number of
factors.   These  factors  include  both  national  and  international  economic
conditions,  local,  national and  international  weather  conditions (e.g., the
floods in the Midwest discussed above), and technological changes which increase
farmer   productivity  (e.g.,  the  growth  hormone  BST  which  increases  milk
production  in cows).  The  income of the  customers  of the  Company is in part
determined by the demand for the commodities and the amount of such  commodities
they produce.  Generally,  any of the above factors  which  increase  demand may
increase  the  income of the  customers  of the  Company  to the  benefit of the
Company. Conversely, any of the above factors which decrease demand may decrease
such income to the detriment of the Company.

Historically, Telmark customers have produced products which are marketed within
the United  States.  Domestic  demand for these  products,  in addition to being
affected by the availability and demand for competing products,  may be affected
by the state of the United States economy.  However,  the economic  condition of
foreign  countries and their demand for the type of products produced by Telmark
customers may also influence the demand for products of Telmark's customers. For
example,  economic  recessions  in Europe  and Japan  have  contributed  to soft
foreign demand for U. S. agricultural  products, as has the transition to market
economies in Eastern  Europe,  the  republics of the former  Soviet  Union,  and
China.  This  softened  demand  has been  offset by  Government  export  support
programs.  A  discontinuation  of these export support  programs may result in a
surplus  of certain  commodities  due to  reduced  exports  which may reduce the
demand and price of products produced by customers of Telmark.

Telmark  customers may also be affected by agreements  between the United States
and foreign governments, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and the
General  Agreement on Tariffs and Trade which may impact  indirectly  demand for
Telmark's  customers'  products.  The impact of these  agreements  on  Telmark's
customers is unclear. To the extent that these agreement's result in an increase
in competing  imports or greater domestic supply,  Telmark's  customers and thus
Telmark may be  adversely  affected.  However,  to the extent  these  agreements
increase  demand for  commodities  of the type produced by Telmark's  customers,
Telmark and its customers may be beneficially affected.

                         BUSINESS OF TELMARK (CONTINUED)

MARKETING AND SALES
Telmark  uses both  direct mail and  advertising  campaigns  routed  through its
parent publications and other agricultural  publications as a means of promoting
its  leasing  products  to farmers  and other  rural  businesses  that serve the
agricultural marketplace.  In addition,  leasing product brochures are available
at many equipment dealer franchises.  Advertising and communication  efforts for
non-Agway businesses are typically targeted towards special market segments such
as forestry and trucking via magazines and trade shows.

Much of  Telmark's  business  comes  from  referrals  to  Telmark  by  equipment
retailers and building  contractors of customers wishing to purchase  equipment,
vehicles  or  buildings.  The  retailer  or  contractor  refers the  customer to
Telmark,  where a field  representative  will complete a credit  application and
seek credit approval in a day. Upon approval, the retailer or contractor is paid
by Telmark for the equipment, vehicles or buildings which are then "acquired" by
the customer.  Using the identification  TFS(SM), the Company provides financing
through the dealers of selected  manufacturers of equipment.  In the cases where
financing  is through  manufacturer  sponsored  financing  programs,  the dealer
rather than a Telmark field representative completes a credit application.

FACILITIES
The Company leases all of the office space it uses from Agway.  Telmark does not
own any of the real property it uses for office facilities.

COMPETITION
The Company's main competitors are agricultural financial institutions and other
leasing companies.  Many of these organizations have greater financial and other
resources  than the Company  and as a  consequence  are able to obtain  funds on
terms  more  favorable  than  those  available  to the  Company.  The  Company's
strongest competitors are agricultural  financial institutions such as the Banks
of the Farm Credit System and their  affiliates,  federal  government  sponsored
enterprises  ("GSEs") which are the largest  agricultural lenders in the nation,
and  local  and  regional  banks  servicing  the  agricultural   sector.   These
competitors may enjoy a relative  advantage in financing their leasing business.
Banks of the Farm Credit System as GSEs may be able to raise funds in the public
debt market at a lower interest rate than the Company can. Similarly, commercial
banks may be able to raise funds more  cheaply  than the Company  through  their
offering of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured deposit accounts.

Other  leasing   companies   competing  with  the  Company   include   equipment
manufacturers  with finance  subsidiaries,  and independent  leasing  companies.
Finance  subsidiaries  of  equipment  manufacturers  frequently  charge  reduced
interest rates on equipment  leases to stimulate sales of equipment  produced by
their parent  companies.  Telmark  competes with its  competitors by focusing on
agricultural  equipment financing,  service to its customers,  and tailoring its
portfolio of products to address the  specific  needs of farmers and other rural
businesses which serve the agricultural marketplace.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL 1996.  Telmark's  net income for 1996  increased by $1.7 million  (34.3%)
from 1995 to $6.8 million. The increase is due to a larger outstanding portfolio
during the year and a somewhat higher margin on the portfolio.

Revenue  is  recognized  over the term of the  leases.  Increases  in the  lease
portfolio from new booked volume of $175.0 million in 1996 and $170.5 million in
1995, in excess of lease reductions from collection, sale of leases, and net bad
debt  expense   totaling  $134  million  and  $114  million  in  1996  and  1995
respectively,  have the effect of increasing  total revenues.  Total revenues in
1996 increased by $6.7 million  (15.9%) over 1995,  attributable  in part to the
$41 million  (12.4%)  increase in net leases  during  fiscal 1996.  Interest and
finance  charges,  as a percentage of the notes and leases,  increased  slightly
from 12.7% in fiscal 1995 to 12.9% in fiscal 1996.  During the same period,  the
average cost of interest paid on debt remained unchanged at 7.5%.

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased by $1.6 million (20.0%)
to $9.8  million  from $8.2  million the previous  year.  Those  increases  were
primarily  the result of  additional  people,  incentives  paid  relating to the
additional new business booked, and advertising.  Other administrative  expenses
remained low due to tight expense  control.  For fiscal 1996,  interest  expense
increased by $2.6 million  (14.9%) to $20.3 million due to increased  borrowings
required to finance the growth of the lease  portfolio while the average cost of
interest paid on debt remained unchanged.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

The provision for credit losses  increased  2.8% to $7.0 million and is based on
the  Company's  analysis  of  reserves  required  to provide  for  uncollectible
receivables.  Telmark's  allowance for credit losses is determined by a periodic
review  of the lease  portfolio,  including  analysis  of  delinquent  accounts,
current economic conditions,  estimated residual values and credit worthiness of
customers. Reserves are established at a level sufficient to cover all estimated
losses in the portfolio.  The basis for the amount is a comprehensive  review of
all large and non-earning accounts, and a quantitative and qualitative review of
the entire portfolio based on prior experience.  In 1995, Telmark implemented an
aggressive  write  off  policy  which  resulted  in a  decrease  in the total of
non-earning accounts to $3.8 million.  During 1996, the general economy remained
strong  and the  total of  non-earning  accounts  was  further  reduced  to $2.9
million. However,  management believes that it was prudent to increase the level
of reserve to approximately $19.8 million because of the increase in the size of
the overall lease portfolio over the prior year. Accordingly,  the provision for
credit losses increased.

FISCAL 1995.  Telmark's  net income for 1995  increased  15.4% from 1994 to $5.0
million.  The increase is due to a larger outstanding  portfolio during the year
partially offset by no gain on sale of assets in 1995 versus 1994 and a somewhat
reduced margin on the portfolio.

Revenue  is  recognized  over the term of the  leases.  Increases  in the  lease
portfolio from new booked volume of $170.5 million in 1995 and $149.7 million in
1994, in excess of lease reductions from collection, sale of leases, and net bad
debt  expense   totaling  $114  million  and  $104  million  in  1995  and  1994
respectively,  have the  effect of  increasing  total  revenues.  Total  revenue
increased  by 21.1%  compared to a 20.2%  increase in net leases.  Interest  and
finance  charges,  as a percentage of the notes and leases,  decreased  slightly
from 12.8% in fiscal 1994 to 12.7% in fiscal 1995.  During the same period,  the
average cost of interest  paid on debt  increased  slightly from 7.47% in fiscal
1994 to 7.54% in fiscal 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9.7% to $8.2 million from
$7.5 million the previous  year.  Those  increases  were primarily the result of
additional  people and  incentives  paid relating to the additional new business
booked.  Advertising and other administrative expenses remained low due to tight
expense  control.  For fiscal 1995,  interest  expense  increased 33.3% to $17.7
million due to increased  borrowings required to finance the growth of the lease
portfolio.

The provision for credit losses  increased 15.0% to $6.8 million and is based on
the  Company's  analysis  of  reserves  required  to provide  for  uncollectible
receivables.  Telmark's  allowance for credit losses is determined by a periodic
review  of the lease  portfolio,  including  analysis  of  delinquent  accounts,
current economic conditions,  estimated residual values and credit worthiness of
customers. Reserves are established at a level sufficient to cover all estimated
losses in the portfolio.  The basis for the amount is a comprehensive  review of
all large and non-earning accounts, and a quantitative and qualitative review of
the  entire  portfolio  based  on  prior  experience.   In  fiscal  1994,  total
non-earning  accounts  decreased to approximately $8 million from  approximately
$12 million in 1993 due to a generally strong economy.  During 1995, the general
economy  remained  strong and Telmark  implemented a more  aggressive  write off
policy which resulted in a further decrease in the total of non-earning accounts
to $3.8 million.  However,  management  believes that it was prudent to increase
the level of reserve,  to approximately $15.3 million because of the increase in
the size of the overall lease portfolio.  Accordingly,  the provision for credit
losses increased.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The ongoing  availability  of  adequate  financing  to maintain  the size of the
Company's current lease portfolio and to permit lease portfolio growth is key to
the  Company's   continuing   profitability  and  stability.   The  Company  has
principally  financed  its  operations,   including  the  growth  of  its  lease
portfolio,  through borrowings under its lines of credit,  private placements of
debt with institutional  investors and other term debt, principal collections on
leases and cash  provided  from  operations.  Total assets have grown an average
rate of 17% over the past twelve years.  This growth has been  financed  through
growth in retained  earnings  and  additional  paid in capital  from  Agway,  in
addition to debt financing. At June 30, 1996, the ratio of Senior Debt to equity
is at 3.8,  compared  to 3.7 for fiscal  1995.  Telmark has been  successful  in
arranging  its past  financing  needs and  believes  that its current  financing
arrangements are adequate to meet its foreseeable operating requirements.  There
can be no  assurance,  however,  that  Telmark  will be able  to  obtain  future
financing in amounts or on terms that are acceptable. The Company's inability to
obtain  adequate   financing  would  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  its
operations.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

Cash flows from  operating  activities for fiscal 1996 of $13.2 million and cash
flows from financing activities of $35.7 million were used to fund the net lease
receivable  growth and  purchasing of  investments.  Repayment of $27 million of
subordinated  debt to Agway  Holdings,  Inc.  ("Holdings")  and  receipt  of $27
million  of paid in  capital  from  Holdings  was  included  in cash  flow  from
financing activities.

In fiscal 1995,  cash flows from  operations  of $12.0 million and cash provided
from debt  financing of $52.5 million was used to fund the net lease  receivable
growth in addition to purchasing investments.

The following  paragraphs  summarize  the terms of the  Company's  existing debt
agreements  and  instruments  which the  Company  believes  may be  material  to
investors.  These  summaries do not purport to be  complete,  are subject to the
detailed  provisions of those documents,  and are qualified in their entirety by
reference  to  the  agreements  and   instruments   filed  as  exhibits  to  the
registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

Line of Credit and Term Debt Agreements
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had two separate  credit  facilities  available
from banks which allow the Company to borrow up to an aggregate of $204,000,000.
An uncommitted short-term line of credit agreement permits the Company to borrow
up to $4,000,000 on an unsecured  basis with  interest paid upon  maturity.  The
line bears interest at money market  variable  rates.  A committed  $200,000,000
partially  collateralized  (see "Investment in Bank Stock")  revolving term loan
facility  permits the Company to draw short-term funds bearing interest at money
market rates or draw  long-term  debt at rates  appropriate  for the term of the
note  drawn.  The  total  amount  outstanding  as of June  30,  1996  under  the
short-term  line of  credit  and the  revolving  term loan  facility  was $0 and
$146,000,000, respectively.

Telmark borrows under its short-term line of credit  agreement and its revolving
term agreement from time to time to fund its operations.  Short-term debt serves
as interim financing between the issuances of long-term debt. Telmark renews its
lines of credit annually. The $4,000,000 line of credit has been renewed through
December  1996.  The  $200,000,000  revolving  term  agreement  loan facility is
available through February 1, 1997. The Company believes it has sufficient lines
of credit in place to meet interim funding needs.

Senior Debt
At June 30,  1996,  the Company had  balances  outstanding  on eleven  unsecured
senior  note  private  placements  totaling  $126,844,445.  Interest  is payable
semiannually  on each senior note.  Principal  payments are both  semiannual and
annual.  The note  agreements  are  similar  to one  another  and  each  contain
financial  covenants,  the most  restrictive  of which prohibit (i) tangible net
worth, defined as consolidated tangible assets less total liabilities (excluding
notes payable to Agway Holdings,  Inc.), from being less than $32,000,000,  (ii)
the  ratio  of  total  liabilities  less  subordinated  notes  payable  to Agway
Holdings,  Inc. to shareholder's equity plus subordinated notes payable to Agway
Holdings,  Inc. from exceeding  5:1,  (iii) the ratio of earnings  available for
fixed charges from being less than 1.25:1,  and (iv) dividend  distributions and
restricted  investments (as defined) made after December 31, 1994 are prohibited
to the  extent  they  exceed  50% of  consolidated  net  income  for the  period
beginning on January 1, 1995 through the date of determination, inclusive.

The Company  maintains  lines of credit with banks (see "Line of Credit and Term
Debt Agreements"  above) and has leased equipment on a capital lease. As of June
30, 1996,  $146,000,000  was  outstanding on the lines of credit and the capital
lease balance was $152,212.

Telmark  plans  to  continue   using  banks,   debt   placements   with  private
institutional investors, and Subordinated Debentures as its principal sources of
financing.  In  addition,  the  Company  may sell a  portion  of its "net  lease
receivables" to provide additional capital.

Support Agreement
An agreement  exists among Agway,  Agway  Financial  Corporation (a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Agway), Agway Holdings,  Inc. (a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Agway
Financial  Corporation) and Telmark,  whereby Agway Financial Corporation and/or
Agway Holdings,  Inc. agree to advance funds to Telmark, to the extent necessary
to insure that  Telmark's  debt to equity ratio,  as defined in such  agreement,
will be  maintained  at no  greater  than 5 to 1. Any  funds  advanced  by Agway
Financial  Corporation and/or Agway Holdings,  Inc. are regarded as subordinated
debt. The agreement is in effect for one year periods, renewed annually,  unless
terminated by any party upon 30 days written notice.

            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

Debentures
At July 31, 1996, the Company had an aggregate  principal  amount of $25,716,400
of debentures issued and outstanding  under the Indenture.  These debentures are
unsecured and are  subordinated to all Senior Debt of the Company.  Of the total
outstanding,  $4,692,000  bear  interest at a rate of 6% per annum,  and are due
December 31, 1997;  $6,226,000  bear interest at the rate of 8.25% per annum and
are due March 31, 2000;  $3,446,800 bear interest at the rate of 8.25% per annum
and are due March 31, 1998;  $6,668,500  bear  interest at the rate of 8.50% per
annum and are due March 31, 2000;  $2,187,100 bear interest at the rate of 8.00%
per annum and are due March 31, 2000; and  $2,496,000  bear interest at the rate
of 7.75% and are due March 31, 1998.

Lease Sales
The Company has entered into lease sale  transactions with banks over the years,
four of which have  remaining  balances as of June 30,  1996.  The Company  sold
approximately  $10.6  million in lease  receivables  in  September  1991,  $10.8
million in June 1992,  $10.7 million in June 1993,  and $5.5 million in February
1994. The  outstanding  balance of receivables  sold was $5.6 million as of June
30, 1996. See "Business of Telmark."

The Company is restricted under its private  placement debt note agreements from
selling  leases in an amount (i) greater than 10% of the previous year end total
assets or (ii) in excess  of the sum of 30% of  leases  originated  prior to May
1992 and 35% of leases  originated  during  and after May 1992.  Currently,  the
Company's  maximum  cumulative  percentage  of sold leases under its oldest note
agreement is 15.5%.

Investment in Bank Stock
In accordance  with the Federal Farm Credit Act, the Company,  as a condition of
its borrowings (lines of credit both short-term and long term debt) from CoBank,
ACB (the  "Bank") is required to invest in the  capital  stock of the Bank.  The
initial statutory minimum amount of capital investment required for borrowers is
two  percent of the  aggregate  loan funds  advanced  or one  thousand  dollars,
whichever is less. As of June 30, 1996, the Company holds $10,038,421 of capital
stock of the Bank. The Bank has a first lien on this capital stock as collateral
for the repayment of the Company's  loan and the Company does not have access to
these funds. There is no market for the Bank's stock.

Federal  regulations  concerning  capitalization  bylaws  and the  issuance  and
retirement  of Bank stock  provide that stock issued on or after October 6, 1988
must qualify as at-risk capital of the Bank. All of the Company's  investment in
capital stock represents  at-risk capital of the Bank. The retirement of at-risk
capital must be solely at the  discretion  of the Bank's board of directors  and
not  upon a date  certain  or  upon  the  happening  of any  event,  such as the
repayment of the related loan. In addition, the Bank is prohibited from reducing
its capital by retiring stock (other than protected  stock),  if after or due to
such retirement, the institution would not meet its at-risk capital standard set
by federal regulations.

The boards of  directors  of the Bank  generally  may  authorize  the payment of
patronage  refunds as provided  for in its  bylaws.  Such  payment of  dividends
and/or  distribution  of earnings are also subject to federal  regulations  that
establish minimum at-risk capital standards for the Bank.

OTHER
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 121,  Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires
impairment  losses to be  measured  and  recorded on  long-lived  assets used in
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the  undiscounted  cash
flows  estimated  to be  generated  by those  assets  are less than the  assets'
carrying  amount.  Statement 121 also  addresses the  accounting  for long-lived
assets  that are  expected  to be  disposed  of.  Based on  presently  available
estimates,  there will be no effect when the Company adopts Statement 121 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997.

                                LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not a party to any litigation or legal proceedings pending, or to
the best of its knowledge  threatened,  which in the opinion of its  management,
individually  or in the aggregate,  would have a material  adverse affect on its
operations or financial condition.

     (1) Total compensation (defined as base salary or wages, overtime and bonus
or  incentive   compensation)   is  used  in  determining   the  average  annual
compensation  pursuant to the Agway Inc.  Retirement  Plan. This amount includes
all deferred amounts under the Agway Inc.  Employees' Thrift Investment Plan and
Benefits Equalization Plan.

     (2)  Bonuses  are  payable in cash or  executives  may elect to defer their
awards for payments at a later date,  subject to certain  contingencies.  During
fiscal 1996 and 1995, members of the Agway Inc. Chief Executive  Officer's Staff
and  other  executives  designated  by the Agway  Inc.  executive  officer  were
eligible for  participation  in the Agway Inc.  Management  Incentive  Plan (the
"Plan").  Within Telmark,  the President qualified for this program.  Contingent
upon each individual's performance,  Telmark's net margin, and other performance
factors,  each  eligible  Telmark  executive  may be paid a bonus.  Bonuses  are
reflected in the fiscal year earned regardless of payment date.

     (3) Amounts  shown include  contributions  made by the Company to the Agway
Inc. Employees' Thrift Plan and the Agway Inc. Employees' Benefits  Equalization
Plan.

      The Employees  Retirement Plan of Agway Inc. (the "Retirement  Plan") is a
non-contributory  defined benefit plan covering substantially all employees. The
Retirement Plan provides for retirement benefits,  at a normal retirement age of
65,  based upon  average  annual  compensation  received  during the  highest 60
consecutive  months  in the last 10  years  of  service  and  credited  years of
service.  Optional earlier retirement and other benefits are also provided.  The
Retirement  Plan pays a monthly  retirement  benefit based on the greater amount
calculated  under two formulas.  The benefit amount under one formula is subject
to an offset for Social Security benefits.

      The  following  table  shows  estimated   annual  benefits   payable  upon

</TABLE>

Amount  under the  Retirement  Plan may be subject to  reduction  because of the
limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code; however,  the extent of any
reduction will vary in individual cases according to  circumstances  existing at
the  time  pension  payments   commence.   The  Company's   Employees'   Benefit
Equalization  Plan of Agway Inc. has been  established to provide for the amount
of any such reduction in annual pension benefits under the Retirement Plan.

The benefits  shown are computed on a straight  life basis and do not reflect an
offset for up to 50% of the Social Security benefits, subject to certain minimum
benefits.  Also,  the  benefits  are based on  continuing  the  Plan's  benefits
formulas as in effect on June 30, 1996.  The number of credited years of service
under the Retirement Plan for Mr. Edinger was 17.

The Company has no compensation committee.  Executive Compensation is set by the
Board of Directors in consultation with the management of Agway, Inc.

</TABLE>

      INTEREST.  Not  withstanding  the term of the  Debentures set forth in the
Indenture,  the Debentures will bear interest from their  respective Issue Dates
at the per annum rate described  below (on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months).  The  Company may, from time to time prior to the  completion of
the  offering of the  Debentures,  change the rate of interest or maturity  date
offered by filing a supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
applicable supplement,  if any, will be attached to this Prospectus.  Any change
in the  interest  rate or  maturity  date  offered  will not  affect the rate of
interest on or maturity date of any Debentures  theretofore issued. The interest
rates on the Debentures offered hereby is as follows:

      Interest on the 7.25% Debentures due March 31, 2000, is payable  quarterly
      on January 1, April 1, July 1 and  October 1, and at  maturity,  at a rate
      per annum for each  quarterly  period  equal to the  greater  of:  (1) the
      "stated rate" of 7.25% per annum;  and, (2) the  "Treasury  Bill Rate" (as
      defined below).

      Interest on the 7.50% Debentures, due March 31, 2002, is payable quarterly
      on January 1, April 1, July 1 and  October 1, and at  maturity,  at a rate
      per annum for each  quarterly  period  equal to the  greater  of:  (1) the
      "stated rate" of 7.50% per annum;  and, (2) the  "Treasury  Bill Rate" (as
      defined below).

      U.S.  Treasury bills are issued and traded on a discount basis, the amount
of the discount  being the  difference  between their face value at maturity and
their sales price.  The per annum  discount rate on a U.S.  Treasury bill is the
percentage obtained by dividing the amount of the discount on such U.S. Treasury
bill by its face value at maturity and annualizing  such percentage on the basis
of a 360-day year.  The Federal  Reserve Board  currently  publishes  such rates
weekly in its  Statistical  Release  H.15  (519).  Unlike the  interest  on U.S.
Treasury bills,  interest on the certificates  will not be exempt from state and
local income taxation.

                                       23


<PAGE>
                    DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBENTURES (CONTINUED)

      The "Treasury Bill Rate" for each quarterly  interest  payment date is the
arithmetic  average of the weekly per annum auction  average  discount  rates at
issue date for U.S.  Treasury bills with  maturities of 26 weeks (which may vary
from the market  discount rates for the same weeks),  as published for each week
by the Federal  Reserve  Board,  during the period  September 1 to November  30,
inclusive, for the January 1 interest payment date, during the period December 1
to February 28  inclusive,  for the April 1 interest  payment  date,  during the
period  March 1 to May 31,  for the July 1  interest  payment  date,  during the
period June 1 to August 31 for the October 1 interest  payment  date,  or during
the period  December 1 to February 28 for interest  payable on the maturity date
(each such period, an "Interest  Determination  Period").  In the event that the
Federal  Reserve  Board does not  publish the weekly per annum  auction  average
discount rate for a particular week,  Telmark shall select a publication of such
rate by any Federal Reserve Bank or any U.S. Government  department or agency to
be used in computing  the  arithmetic  average.  The Treasury  Bill Rate will be
rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a percentage point.

      In the event that Telmark in good faith  determines  that for any reason a
Treasury  Bill  Rate is not  published  for a  particular  week  in an  Interest
Determination  Period with respect to a particular  interest payment date or the
maturity date, as applicable,  an "Alternate  Rate" will be substituted  for the
Treasury  Bill Rate for such  period and date.  The  Alternate  Rate will be the
arithmetic  average of the weekly per annum auction  average  discount rates for
those weeks in the relevant  Interest  Determination  Period for which rates are
published as described  above,  if any, and the weekly per annum auction average
discount rates or market  discount rates or stated interest rates for comparable
issue(s)  of  securities  as is  selected  by  Telmark,  for those  weeks in the
Interest Determination Period for which no rate is published as described above.
The Alternate  Rate will be rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a percentage
point.

      In the further  event that Telmark in good faith  determines  that neither
the  Treasury  Bill  Rate nor  Alternate  Rate can be  computed  for the  period
September 1 to November 30, inclusive,  for the January 1 interest payment date,
for the period  December 1 to February 28,  inclusive,  for the April 1 interest
payment  date,  for the  period  March 1 to May 31,  inclusive,  for the  July 1
interest payment date, or for the period June 1 to August 31, inclusive, for the
October 1 interest  payment date,  the rate of interest  payable with respect to
any Debentures will be the rate stated thereon.

      The following chart sets forth for the periods indicated:

      (1)  The "Treasury Bill Rate", as defined above.
      (2)  The  highest per annum discount rate on six month U.S. Treasury Bills
           at one of the 26 auctions during the  period  used to  calculate  the
           "Treasury Bill Rate".
      (3)  The lowest per  annum discount  rate on six month U.S. Treasury Bills
           at one  of the  26 auctions  during the  period used to calculate the
           "Treasury Bill Rate".

                    DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBENTURES (CONTINUED)

      If the Debentures  currently being offered had been outstanding on July 1,
1996,  the stated  interest  rates  would have been  paid.  Although  the period
September 1, 1996 to November  30, 1996,  is not complete as of the date of this
Prospectus  (and hence the Treasury  Bill Rate for the January 1, 1997  interest
payment date cannot yet be determined),  the Treasury Bill Rate as of August 20,
1996 was 5.24%.

      The six-month  U.S.  Treasury bill rate has  fluctuated  widely during the
periods  shown in the  chart.  This rate can be  expected  to  fluctuate  in the
future.  These  fluctuations  will  cause the rate of  interest  payable  on the
Debentures to exceed the stated rate whenever the Treasury Bill Rate exceeds the
stated rate. See "Risk Factors - Absence of Public Market, Redemption and Market
Risk."

      PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.  Principal  amounts of the  Debentures
will be due and payable,  together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon,  on
the maturity date (the "Maturity  Date") for the  Debentures.  The Maturity Date
for the  Debentures  offered will be as set forth in the table on the cover page
of this  Prospectus.  Interest on the  Debentures  will be payable  quarterly on
January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 and on the Maturity  Date as set forth
in the table on the cover page of this Prospectus  (each,  an "Interest  Payment
Date").  Principal and interest on the Debentures  will be payable at the office
of the transfer agent,  Agway, in DeWitt,  New York.  Additional  amounts may be
added to the  principal of the  Debenture  pursuant to an election by the holder
thereof to have quarterly  interest payments added to and increase the principal
amount of the  Debenture.  In such a case,  the Debenture  holder will receive a
statement  from the Company  indicating  the amounts  added to  principal of the
Debenture.  In any case in which an Interest Payment Date, a Redemption Date (as
defined  below),  the Maturity Date or other payment date is not a Business Day,
payment of interest or principal,  as the case may be, shall be made on the next
succeeding  Business  Day with  the same  force  and  effect  as if made on such
Interest  Payment Date,  Redemption  Date,  Maturity Date or other payment date.
"Business  Day" means any day other than a Saturday  or Sunday or a day on which
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or commercial  banking  institutions in New
York City are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

      SUBORDINATION AND COVENANTS.  The Debentures are unsecured  obligations of
Telmark,  and the payment  thereof is  subordinated  to other debt (except debts
similarly  subordinated) as hereinafter mentioned.  There is no provision in the
Indenture  that would prevent  Telmark from incurring  additional  debt or which
would  restrict the interest rate or other terms of such other debt. In addition
to  its   subordination   provisions,   the  Indenture   contains  only  limited
restrictions on highly leveraged transactions,  reorganizations,  restructuring,
mergers or similar  transactions  involving  the  Company,  which may  adversely
affect the holders of the Debentures.  The Company is not limited in its ability
to merge into or transfer or lease all or  substantially  all of its assets to a
corporation as long as such  corporation  assumes the obligations of the Company
under the Debentures and the Indenture and, after the transaction,  there exists
no event of default under the Indenture.

      TRANSFER. The terms of the Debentures include no restrictions on transfer.

      SETTLEMENT  AND ISSUE DATE.  Persons  interested in purchasing  Debentures
should forward their completed  application and a check  (personal,  cashiers or
certified)  or money  order  payable to the  Company  in an amount  equal to the
principal amount of the Debenture to be purchased. Applications are available at
certain Company and Agway locations. Applications generally will be processed by
the Company  within five to ten days of the date of receipt by the  Company,  at
which time they will be  forwarded to the trustee to  authenticate,  who in turn
will forward the Debenture to the applicant.  The "Issue Date" is defined as the
first day of the month in which the application and proceeds are received by the
Company for such Debenture.

      REDEMPTION PROVISIONS.  Upon not less than 30 days written notice, Telmark
may,  at its option,  redeem  all, or by lot,  from time to time any part of the
Debentures at the  principal  amount  thereof,  together with accrued but unpaid
interest from the last Interest Payment Date to the date fixed for redemption at
the stated rate.  Should the  Debentures be redeemed by lot, all  Debentures not
redeemed will be accorded equal treatment in any subsequent redemption.

      INTEREST  REINVESTMENT  OPTION. At the time of application for purchase of
the  Debentures,  or at any time  thereafter,  the  holder may elect to have all
interest paid on the certificates  reinvested  automatically.  In the event that
the automatic reinvestment option is elected, the interest due on each quarterly
payment date will be added to the  principal  amount of the  Debenture  and will
earn  interest  thereafter on the same basis as the original  principal  amount.
This election may be revoked only as to future interest  payments at any time by
notice to  Telmark,  effective  on the date such  notification  is  received  by
Telmark.  Interest  reinvested  will be  subject to income tax as if it had been
received by the Debenture holder at the time reinvested.

                                       25

<PAGE>
                    DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBENTURES (CONTINUED)

      SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS. The payment of the principal and interest on the
Debentures is subordinated  in right of payment,  to the extent set forth in the
Indenture, to the amounts of principal and interest due on "Senior Debt". Senior
Debt is defined as the principal of, and interest on indebtedness of Telmark for
money  borrowed  from  or  guaranteed  to  banks,  trust  companies,   insurance
companies,  and other financial  institutions,  including  dealers in commercial
paper,  charitable trusts,  pension trusts,  and other investing  organizations,
evidenced  by notes or similar  obligations  unless the  instrument  creating or
evidencing the indebtedness  provides that such  indebtedness is not superior or
is  subordinate  in right of payment to the  Debentures.  Senior  Debt,  as thus
defined,   includes  all  interest-bearing  debt  presently  outstanding  except
indebtedness  with respect to the Outstanding  Debentures.  As of July 31, 1996,
Senior Debt of $280,944,445 was outstanding.

      In the event of any  distribution  of assets  of  Telmark  under any total
liquidation or reorganization  of Telmark,  the holders of all Senior Debt shall
be  entitled to receive  payment in full  before the holders of the  Outstanding
Debentures  are  entitled to receive any payment.  After  payment in full of the
Senior  Debt,  the  holders of the  Outstanding  Debentures  will be entitled to
participate in any distribution of assets, both as such holders and by virtue of
subrogation  to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt, to the extent that the
Senior Debt was benefited by the receipt of  distributions  to which the holders
of the  Outstanding  Debentures  would have been  entitled  if there had been no
subordination.  By  reason  of such  subordination,  in the  event of  Telmark's
insolvency, holders of Senior Debt may receive more, ratably, and holders of the
Outstanding  Debentures  may receive  less,  ratably,  than other  creditors  of
Telmark.

      MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE.  The Indenture  permits the Trustee and Telmark
to make  non-material  modifications and amendments to the Indenture without the
consent of any holder of  Outstanding  Debentures.  The  Indenture  permits  the
Trustee and Telmark to make other  modifications and amendments to the Indenture
with the written consent of holders of 66-2/3% in aggregate  principal amount of
Outstanding Debentures,  provided that, without the consent of each holder of an
Outstanding Debenture affected, no such amendment or modification may (i) reduce
the amount of  Outstanding  Debentures  required  to amend the  Indenture,  (ii)
reduce  the  interest  rate  or  time  for  payment  thereof  applicable  to any
Outstanding Debenture, (iii) reduce the principal or change the Maturity Date of
any Outstanding  Debenture,  (iv) make any changes to the Indenture with respect
to  the  waiver  of  past  defaults  thereunder  or the  rights  of  holders  of
Outstanding  Debentures  to  receive  payments,  or (v) make any  changes to the
subordination provisions contained in the Indenture.

      COVENANTS. Under the Indenture,  Telmark covenants to make payments on the
Outstanding  Debentures,  and to file all required  reports and other  documents
with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.   The  indenture  contains  no
provisions  restricting  the  declaration  of payment of dividends by Telmark or
requiring the maintenance of any ratios or reserves by Telmark.

      EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND WITHHOLDING OF NOTICE THEREOF TO DEBENTURE  HOLDERS.
The Indenture  provides for the following Events of Default:  (i) failure to pay
interest upon any of the Outstanding Debentures when due, continued for a period
of 30 days; (ii) failure to pay principal of the Outstanding Debentures when due
and payable at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise;  (iii) failure to perform
any other  covenant of Telmark as set forth in the  Indenture,  continued for 60
days  after  written  notice by the  Trustee  or the  holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures.

      The  Trustee,  within 60 days  after the  occurrence  of the  default,  is
required to give the Outstanding  Debenture holders notice of all defaults known
to Trustee,  unless  cured prior to the giving of such  notice,  provided  that,
except in the case of default in the payment of  principal or interest on any of
the Outstanding Debentures,  the Trustee may withhold such notice if and so long
as it in good faith  determines  that the  withholding  of such notice is in the
interest of the Outstanding Debenture holders.

      Upon the happening and during the continuance of a default, the Trustee or
the holders of 25% in aggregate  principal amount of the Outstanding  Debentures
then outstanding may declare the principal of all the Outstanding Debentures and
the interest  accrued thereon due and payable,  but the holders of a majority of
the aggregate  principal  amount of the Outstanding  Debentures then outstanding
may waive all  defaults and rescind  such  declaration  if the default is cured.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee
in case any such default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee will
be under no  obligation  to exercise any of its rights or powers at the request,
order or direction of any holders of  Outstanding  Debentures  unless they shall
have offered to the Trustee  reasonable  security or indemnity.  Subject to such

                                       26

<PAGE>

                    DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBENTURES (CONTINUED)

provisions for security or indemnity, a majority of the holders of a majority of
the aggregate  principal  amount of the Outstanding  Debentures then outstanding
will have the  right to direct  the time,  method  and place of  conducting  any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee.

      NO GUARANTEE  BY AGWAY.  Neither  Agway nor any of its other  subsidiaries
have guaranteed the payment of principal of or interest on the  Debentures.  See
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations - Support Agreement."

      THE TRUSTEE.  The Indenture  contains certain  limitations on the right of
the Trustee,  as a creditor of Telmark,  to obtain  payment of claims in certain
cases, or to realize on certain  property  received in respect of any such claim
as security or otherwise.

      AUTHENTICATION  AND DELIVERY.  The  Debentures  may be  authenticated  and
delivered  upon the  written  order of Telmark  without  any  further  corporate
action.

      SATISFACTION  AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.  The Indenture may be discharged
upon payment or  redemption of all  Outstanding  Debentures or upon deposit with
the Trustee of funds sufficient therefor.

      EVIDENCE AS TO COMPLIANCE  WITH  CONDITIONS AND COVENANTS.  As evidence of
compliance  with the covenants and  conditions  provided for in the  Indentures,
Telmark is to furnish to the Trustee  Officer's  Certificates  each year stating
that such covenants and conditions have been complied with.

                 DESCRIPTION OF THE INTEREST REINVESTMENT OPTION

      GENERAL.  If the Certificate  holder has elected to have all interest paid
on the Certificate reinvested automatically,  the interest due on each quarterly
interest  payment date will be added to the principal  amount of the certificate
and will earn interest  thereafter  on the same basis as the original  principal
amount.  This election may be revoked - as to future interest payments only - by
written notice to Telmark,  effective on the date when the revocation  notice is
duly received by Telmark.  Interest reinvested will be subject to federal income
tax as if it had been received by the certificate holder at the time reinvested.

      RATES ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED  CERTIFICATES.  The stated rates of interest on
Certificates  previously  issued by Telmark  that remain  outstanding  (and upon
which the interest reinvestment option might be exercised by any holder thereof)
are as follows:

        STATED RATE OF INTEREST                            DUE
        -----------------------                            ---
                 6.00%                              December 31, 1997
                 7.75%                                March 31, 1998
                 8.25%                                March 31, 1998
                 8.00%                                March 31, 2000
                 8.25%                                March 31, 2000
                 8.50%                                March 31, 2000

      Interest on these outstanding certificates is payable quarterly on January
1,  April 1, July 1 and  October 1, and at  maturity,  at the rate per annum for
each quarterly period equal to the greater of the  certificates'  "Stated Rate";
or the "Treasury Bill Rate," as defined above.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors of
  Telmark Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of TELMARK INC. (a wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  Agway  Holdings,  Inc.) as of June 30,  1996 and  1995,  and the
related  statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the years
ended  June  30,  1996,  1995  and  1994.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  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 audits provide 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 Telmark Inc. as of June 30,
1996 and 1995,  and the  results  of its  operations  and its cash flows for the
years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Operations
      Telmark Inc.  ("The  Company") is in the business of leasing  agricultural
related equipment,  vehicles, and buildings. Telmark's customers are farmers and
other rural  businesses as well as  manufacturers  and independent  dealers that
serve  the  agricultural  marketplace.  The  Company  is  indirectly  owned  and
controlled by Agway Inc. ("Agway"),  one of the largest  agricultural supply and
services  cooperatives  in the United States.  Telmark is a direct  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Agway Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"),  a subsidiary of Agway. Telmark
operates  in  27  states  including  Alabama,  Connecticut,  Delaware,  Georgia,
Illinois,  Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky,  Maine, Maryland,  Massachusetts,  Michigan,
Minnesota,  Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania,  Rhode Island, South Carolina,  Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West
Virginia and Wisconsin.

Cash and Equivalents
      The Company  considers all investments  with a maturity of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Leases
      Leases are made on a precomputation basis (finance charges included in the
face  amounts of the notes).  Finance  charges  are taken into income  using the
interest  method  over the terms of the  lease,  which for most  commercial  and
agricultural  leases  is 60 months or less  with a  maximum  of 180  months  for
buildings.  Income recognition is suspended on all leases and loans which become
past due greater than 120 days.

      Gains on lease sales are reduced for estimated  future  servicing fees and
estimated  losses under the recourse  provisions of the sale (limited to 7.5% of
the sale  proceeds).  Servicing  amounts are amortized over the life of the sold
leases.

Credit Losses
      Provisions  for credit losses are charged to income in amounts  sufficient
to maintain the allowance at a level considered  adequate to cover losses in the
existing  portfolio.  The net  investment  of a lease  is  charged  against  the
allowance for credit losses when determined to be uncollectible.

Investments
      Investments comprise capital stock of a cooperative bank acquired from the
bank at par or  stated  value.  This  stock is not  traded  and is  historically
redeemed on a periodic  basis by the bank at cost. By its nature,  this stock is
held for  redemption  and is  reported  at cost.  Dividends  on this  stock  are
recorded as a reduction  of interest  expense and total  $942,420,  $635,298 and
$848,810 for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets
      In March 1995,  the FASB issued  Statement  No.  121,  Accounting  for the
Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of,
which  requires  impairment  losses to be measured  and  recorded on  long-lived
assets used in operations  when  indicators  of  impairment  are present and the
undiscounted  cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the assets'  carrying  amount.  Statement 121 also  addresses the accounting for
long-lived  assets  that are  expected  to be disposed  of.  Based on  presently
available  estimates,  there will be no effect when the Company adopts Statement
121 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

Origination Fees and Costs
      Fees received and direct costs incurred for the  origination of leases and
notes are deferred and amortized to interest income over the  contractual  lives
of the instruments using the interest method,  adjusted for estimated prepayment
experience.

Equipment
      Depreciation  is  calculated  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the
estimated useful lives of the equipment.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

Advertising Costs
      The Company generally expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising
expense  for the years ended June 30,  1996,  1995 and 1994,  was  approximately
$607,500, $216,800, and $202,300.

Income Taxes
      The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 109,  "Accounting  for
Income Taxes." Under the liability  method  specified by SFAS No. 109,  deferred
tax assets and  liabilities  are based on the  difference  between the financial
statement and tax basis of assets and  liabilities  as measured by the tax rates
which are  anticipated  to be in effect  when  these  differences  reverse.  The
deferred tax provision  represents the net change in the assets and  liabilities
for deferred tax.
      The  Company is  included in a  consolidated  federal tax return  filed by
Agway Inc.  Under the  Agway/Telmark  tax sharing  agreement,  the provision for
income taxes and related credits and carry forwards are calculated on a separate
company basis. The Company files a separate state tax return.

Use of Estimates
      The  preparation  of 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 financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Based on the Company's  history of taxable earnings and its expectations for the
future,  management has determined  that operating  income will more likely than
not be sufficient to recognize its deferred tax assets.


5. BORROWINGS UNDER LINES OF CREDIT AND TERM DEBT

      As of June 30,  1996,  the  Company  had two  separate  credit  facilities
available  from banks which allow the  Company to borrow up to an  aggregate  of
$204,000,000.  An uncommitted  short-term line of credit  agreement  permits the
Company to borrow up to $4,000,000 on an unsecured basis with interest paid upon
maturity.  The line bears interest at money market  variable  rates. A committed
$200,000,000 partially  collateralized  revolving term loan facility permits the
Company to draw short-term  funds bearing interest at money market rates or draw
long-term debt at rates  appropriate  for the term of the note drawn.  The total
amount  outstanding as of June 30, 1996 under the short-term  line of credit and
the revolving term loan facility was $0 and $146,000,000, respectively.

      Telmark  borrows  under its  short-term  line of credit  agreement and its
revolving term agreement  from time to time to fund its  operations.  Short-term
debt  serves as interim  financing  between the  issuances  of  long-term  debt.
Telmark renews its lines of credit  annually.  The $4,000,000 line of credit has
been renewed through  December 1996. The  $200,000,000  revolving term agreement
loan facility is available through February 1, 1997. The Company believes it has
sufficient lines of credit in place to meet interim funding needs.

The  notes  payable  to  bank  represents  the  portion  of a  $200,000,000  and
$125,000,000   credit   facility   outstanding   at  June  30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively. The notes are partially collateralized by the Company's investment
in a cooperative  bank having a book value of $10,038,421 and $9,378,727 at June
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Pursuant to the debt agreements between the Company,  Holdings and the insurance
companies,   Holdings   guarantees  it  will  advance  funds  (in  the  form  of
subordinated  notes payable) or otherwise cause the Company to maintain its debt
to equity ratio (as defined) at no greater than five to one.  Holdings  reserves
the right to withdraw the advances  whenever the  Company's  debt and  borrowing
ratios are lower than five to one,  provided the  withdrawal  would not increase
the  ratios  above  five  to one  and  the  Company  is not  in  default  of any
obligation.

The  subordinated  debentures  represent the  outstanding  balance of registered
debentures  offered  to and  held by the  general  public.  The  debentures  are
unsecured and are subordinate to all senior debt of the Company.

On June 19, 1996,  the Board of Directors of Telmark  approved the  repayment of
$27,000,000 of indebtedness owned by Telmark to Holdings.

Based on a discounted cash flow calculation using current  prevailing  borrowing
rates  available  to the  Company  for  notes  payable  with  similar  terms and
maturities,  the fair value of the Company's  outstanding term debt approximates
it's carrying value at June 30, 1996 and 1995.

The aggregate  amounts of notes payable and capital  leases  maturing after June
30, 1996 are as follows:

The Company has various  loan  covenants,  of which the most  restrictive  is to
maintain a tangible  net worth of at least  $32,000,000,  and the debt to equity
ratio  (as  defined)  no  greater  than  five  to  one.  In  addition,  dividend
distributions  and restricted  investments  (as defined) made after December 31,
1994 are  prohibited  to the extent they exceed 50% of net income for the period
beginning on January 1, 1995 through the date of determination, inclusive. As of
June 30, 1996, $4,804,940 of retained earnings were free of this restriction.

6.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employees  of Telmark  participate  in Agway's  employee  benefit  plans,  which
include a defined benefit retirement plan, a defined contribution 401(K) plan, a
medical and dental benefit plan, a  postretirement  medical plan expense,  and a
life and health  insurance  plan.  Total  benefit  costs  under  these plans are
allocated by Agway to Telmark  primarily  based on payroll costs.  Benefit costs
included  in selling,  general and  administrative  expense  were  approximately
$820,000,  $649,000,  and $610,000 for the periods ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

7.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Cash Management
- ---------------
In lieu of having its own cash  account  the  Company  utilizes  the  depository
accounts of its parent,  Agway Inc.,  drawing  checks against these accounts and
making  deposits to them.  At June 30, 1996 and 1995,  the payable to Agway Inc.
includes  approximately  $4,897,000 and $2,187,000  respectively of checks drawn
that have not yet cleared the banking system.

Inter-Company Transactions
- --------------------------
Selected  amounts related to transactions  with Agway Inc. and  Subsidiaries are
separately disclosed in the financial statements. Certain other transactions for
the years ended June 30 with Agway Inc. and Subsidiaries were approximately:

 (Revenue) Expense                              1996        1995        1994
 -----------------                           ----------  ----------  ----------
 Interest and finance charges.............   $  (52,000) $ (259,000) $ (413,000)
 Administrative and general expense.......    1,828,000   3,034,000   2,852,000

Interest and finance  charges are earned on  equipment  leases to Agway Inc. and
subsidiaries.  The  administrative  and general expense caption  described above
includes  certain  expenses  incurred  by Agway Inc.  on behalf of the  Company,
including rent, data  processing,  personnel,  legal,  tax reporting,  corporate
management, treasury and auditing. A portion of these expenses were allocated to
the Company and  management  believes  the  methodology  used to allocate  these
expenses is reasonable.

On June 19,  1996,  the Board of  Directors  of Agway  Inc.  approved  a capital
contribution  of  $27,000,000  from  Holdings  to  Telmark.  There were no other
changes  in paid in capital or common  stock in the three  years  ended June 30,
1996.

8.  COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS

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.  Since some
of the  commitments  are expected to expire  without being drawn upon, the total
commitment  amounts  do not  necessarily  represent  future  cash  requirements.
Outstanding  commitments  to extend  lease  financing at June 30, 1996 and 1995,
approximated $14,800,000 and $27,600,000 respectively.

During  1994 and prior,  the Company  entered  into lease sale  contracts  which
contain  limited  recourse  provisions  which  are  limited  to 7.5% of the sale
proceeds.   At  June  30,  1996,  the  Company  was   contingently   liable  for
approximately  $2,000,000  under the limited  recourse  provisions.  The Company
includes  this  potential  liability in  establishing  its  allowance for credit
losses.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not a party to any litigation or legal proceedings pending, or to
the best of its knowledge  threatened,  which, in the opinion of its management,
individually  or in the aggregate,  would have a material  adverse affect on its
operations or financial condition.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


9.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is a party to financial  instruments with off-balance  sheet risk in
the normal course of its business to meet the financing  needs of its customers.
These  financial  instruments  consist  of  commitments  to  extend  credit  not
recognized  in the balance  sheet.  The  contract  amounts of those  instruments
reflect  the extent of  involvement  the Company  has in  particular  classes of
financial instruments.

The  Company's  exposure  to credit loss in the event of  nonperformance  by the
other party to the  financial  instrument  for  commitments  to extend credit is
represented by the contractual  amount of the  instrument.  The Company uses the
same  credit  and  collateral  policies  in  making  commitments  as it does for
on-balance sheet instruments.

10.  CONCENTRATIONS

Telmark's   business  is   concentrated  in  agriculture  in  the  New  England,
Mid-Atlantic,  and Midwest states with  approximately 75% of its leases directly
related to production  agriculture.  At June 30, 1996,  approximately 52% of the
Company's net lease investment was in the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan
and New York. Adverse  developments in any of these areas of concentration could
affect operating results adversely.

The  Company  endeavors  to limit the  effects of changes in  interest  rates by
matching as closely as possible, on an ongoing basis, the maturity and repricing
charateristics  of funds  borrowed to finance its  leasing  activities  with the
maturity and repricing  characteristics of its lease portfolio.  However, a rise
in interest rates would increase that portion of the debt which is not precisely
matched to the characteristics of the portfolio and could lower the value of the
Company's outstanding leases in the secondary market.

ITEM 14.      INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

              (a)  Article 9 of  Telmark  Inc.'s  Certificate  of  Incorporation
              states as follows:  "Subject to conditions and  qualifications set
              forth in the  Business  Corporation  Law of the State of New York,
              the  corporation  shall  indemnify  any person  made a party to an
              action individually or in the name of the corporation to procure a
              judgment  in its  favor by  reason of the fact that he is or was a
              director  or officer of the  corporation  against  the  reasonable
              expenses,  including  attorneys'  fees,  actually and  necessarily
              incurred by him in connection with the defense of such action,  or
              in connection with an appeal therein except in relation to matters
              as to which such  director or officer is adjudged to have breached
              his  duty  to  the  corporation.  Subject  to the  conditions  and
              qualifications  set forth in the Business  Corporation  Law of the
              State of New York, the corporation shall also indemnify any person
              made or  threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding
              other than one by or in the right of the  corporation to procure a
              judgment in its favor brought to impose a liability on such person
              for an act  alleged  to have been  committed  by such  person as a
              director  or  officer  of  the   corporation,   or  of  any  other
              corporation  which he served at the  request  of the  corporation,
              against   judgments,   fines,   amounts  paid  in  settlement  and
              reasonable  expenses,   including  attorneys'  fees  actually  and
              necessarily incurred in such action or proceeding if such director
              or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably
              believed to be in the best  interests of the  corporation  and, in
              addition,  had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
              unlawful." (b) Article 7 of the New York Business  Corporation Law
              permits a  corporation  to indemnify  its  officers and  directors
              against liabilities as provided for in the By-laws of Telmark Inc.
              Under  the  terms  of  a  Directors  and  Officers  Liability  and
              Corporation  Reimbursement Policy purchased for Telmark Inc., each
              of the directors  and officers of Telmark Inc. is insured  against
              loss arising from any claim or claims which may be made during the
              policy  period by reason of any  wrongful  act (as  defined in the
              policy) in their capacities as directors or officers. In addition,
              Telmark  Inc. is insured  against  loss  arising from any claim or
              claims  which may be made  during the policy  period  against  any
              director or officer of Telmark  Inc. by reason of any wrongful act
              (as defined in the policy) in their  capacities  as  directors  or
              officers,  but only when the directors or officers shall have been
              entitled to indemnification by Telmark Inc.

ITEM 17.      UNDERTAKINGS

              The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:

              A.   1.   To  file, during any period in which offers or sales are
                        being  made,  a  post-effective amendment to this regis-
                        tration statement:

                             a.    To include any Prospectus required by section
                             10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                             b. To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events
                             arising   after   the   effective   date   of   the
                             registration   statement   (or  the   most   recent
                             post-effective     amendment     thereof)    which,
                             individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  represent  a
                             fundamental  change in the information set forth in
                             the registration statement;

                             c. To include any material information with respect
                             to  the  plan  of   distribution   not   previously
                             disclosed  in  the  registration  statement  or any
                             material   change  to  such   information   in  the
                             registration statement,  including (but not limited
                             to)  any   addition   or  deletion  of  a  managing
                             underwriter;

                   2.   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
                        the  Securities  Act of 1933,  each such  post-effective
                        amendment  shall  be  deemed  to be a  new  registration
                        statement  relating to the securities  offered  therein,
                        and the offering of such  securities  at that time shall
                        be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

              B.   That,  for  purposes  of  determining   liability  under  the
                   Securities  Act of  1933,  each  filing  of the  registrant's
                   annual  report  pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of
                   the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 that is  incorporated by
                   reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be
                   a new  registration  statement  relating  to  the  securities
                   offered therein,  and the offering of such securities at that
                   time  shall be deemed to be the  initial  bona fide  offering
                   thereof.

              C.   Insofar as  indemnification for liabilities arising under the
                   Securities  Act  of  1933  may  be  permitted  to  directors,
                   officers and controlling persons of the registrants  pursuant
                   to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the registrants
                   have been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities  and
                   Exchange  Commission such  indemnification  is against public
                   policy   as   expressed   in  the  Act  and  is,   therefore,
                   unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
                   against such liabilities (other than the payment by either of
                   the  registrants of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,
                   officer  or  controlling  person  of such  registrant  in the
                   successful  defense of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is
                   asserted by such director,  officer or controlling  person in
                   connection  with  the  securities   being   registered,   the
                   registrant  will,  unless in the  opinion of its  counsel the
                   matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
                   court of appropriate  jurisdiction the questions whether such
                   indemnification  by it is against  public policy as expressed
                   in the Act and will be governed by the final  adjudication of
                   such issue.

         Re:    Subordinated Debentures:  $22,000,000
                Registration Statement on Form S-1

Gentlemen:

         Reference  is made  to a  registration  statement  on  Form  S-1  (such
registration statement and all amendments thereto hereinafter referred to as the
"Registration   Statement")  of  Telmark  Inc.,  a  New  York  corporation  (the
"Company")  filed herewith the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),  in connection  with a
proposed sale by the Company of $22,000,000  aggregate  principal  amount of its
debentures,  with such  maturity  dates and  interest  rates as set forth in the
prospectus  included in the  Registration  Statement  or as  established  by the
Company's  Board  of  Directors  or a  duly  authorized  committee  thereof  and
reflected in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC (the "Debentures").  The
Debentures are to be issued  pursuant to an Indenture  dated as of September 30,
1993 (the  "Indenture")  between the Company  and OnBank and Trust  Company,  as
Trustee.

         As  legal  counsel  to the  Company,  I  have  examined  the  corporate
proceedings  and such other  legal  matters  relating to the  Indenture  and the
Debentures as I deemed relevant to the opinions expressed below.

         Based on such examination, I am of the opinion that:

         1.     The  Company is a  corporation duly organized and existing under
                the laws of the State of New York.

         2.     The  Company  has  corporate power  to execute  and  deliver the
                Indenture and to authorize and sell the Debentures.

Securities and Exchange Commission

         3. The Debentures will be legally issued and binding obligations of the
Company (except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization, or
other laws of general  applicability  relating to or affecting creditors' rights
or by  general  equity  principles)  (i) so long as the  Registration  Statement
remains effective under the Act and the Indenture continues to qualify under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and (ii) the Debentures shall have been
duly executed and authenticated as provided in the Indenture and shall have been
duly  delivered  to  the  purchasers  thereof  against  payment  of  the  agreed
consideration therefor.

         I hereby  consent  to the  filing of this  opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration  Statement and to the reference to my name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Prospectus.


                                            Very truly yours,

qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, and of the authority with
respect thereto expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation
(the "Board of Directors"):

        (a)     Preferred Stock.  The Preferred Stock may be issued from time
to time in one or more series, the number of shares and any designation of each
series and the powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series, and
the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, to be as stated and
expressed in a resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series
adopted by the Board of Directors, subject to the limitations prescribed by
law. The Board of Directors in any such resolution or resolutions is expressly
authorized to state for each such series:

                (i)     the voting powers, if any, of the holders of shares of
                such series in addition to any voting rights affirmatively
                required by law;

                (ii)    the rights of stockholders in respect of dividends,
                including, without limitation, the rate or rates per annum and
                the time or times at which (or the formula or other method
                pursuant to which such rates and such time or times may be
                determined) and conditions upon which the holders of stock of
                such series shall be entitled to receive dividends and other
                distributions, and whether any such dividends shall be
                cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the terms upon
                which such dividends shall be cumulative;

                (iii)   whether the stock of each such series shall be
                redeemable by the Corporation at the option of the Corporation
                or the holder thereof, and, if redeemable, the terms and
                conditions upon which the stock of such series may be redeemed;

                (iv)    the amount payable and the rights or preferences to
                which the holders of the shares of stock of such series shall be
                entitled upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
                dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

                (v)     the terms, if any, upon which shares of stock of such
                series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of
                stock of any other class or classes or of any other series of
                the same or any other class or classes, including the price or
                prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the
                terms of adjustment, if any; and

                (vi)    any other designations, preferences, and relative,
                participating, optional or other special rights, and
                qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, insofar as
                they are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
                Organization Certificate and to the full extent now or hereafter
                permitted by the laws of the State of New York.

        All shares of the Preferred Stock of any one series shall be identical
to each other in all respects, except that shares of any one series issued at
different times may differ as to the dates from which dividends thereon, if
cumulative, shall be cumulative.

        Subject to any limitations or restrictions stated in the resolution or
resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares
constituting a series, the Board of Directors may by resolution or resolutions
likewise adopted increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares
of that class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of the series
then outstanding) the number of shares of the series subsequent to the issue of
shares of that series; and in case the number of shares of any series shall be
so decreased, the shares constituting the decrease shall resume that status
that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the
number of shares constituting such series.

        (b) Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock shall be identical to each
other in every respect. The shares of Common Stock shall entitle the holders
thereof to one vote for each share on all matters upon which stockholders have
the right to vote. The holders of Common Stock shall not be permitted to
cumulate their votes for the election of directors.

        Subject to the preferences, privileges and powers with respect to each
class of Capital Stock of the Corporation having any priority over the Common
Stock, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, the
holders of the Common Stock shall have and possess all rights pertaining to the
Capital Stock.

        No holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled as such, as a
matter of preemptive right, to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any
part of any new or additional issue of stock of any class or series whatsoever
of the Corporation, or of securities convertible into shares of any class or
series whatsoever of the Corporation, or of any warrants or other instruments
evidencing rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire
such shares or securities, whether now or hereafter authorized or whether
issued for cash or other consideration or by way of dividend.

        Section 3.  RESERVATION OF SHARES. No shares of Common Stock are to be
reserved for issuance in exchange for shares of Preferred Stock or otherwise to
replace any Capital Stock represented by shares of Preferred Stock.

                                    OFFICES

The principal office of OnBank & Trust Co. (the "Bank") shall be located in the
State of New York, in the City of Syracuse, County of Onondaga. Subject to
applicable banking laws and any required approvals of the Superintendent of
Banks of the State of New York, the Bank may also have other offices at such
other places as the Board of Directors (the "Board") may from time to time
designate or the business of the Bank may require.


                                   ARTICLE II

                                  STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Bank for
the election of directors and the transaction of any other business as may
properly come before such meeting shall be held each year in the board meeting
room following the organizational meeting of the Board of Directors of
ONBANCorp, Inc., the Bank's parent corporation, or at such other time or place
as may be fixed by the Board, but in no event later than April 30th of any year.

Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any
purpose, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board or by
resolution of at least three-fourths of the entire Board. Special meetings

of any meeting of stockholders and the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called shall be delivered to each stockholder of record entitled to
vote at such meeting, either personally or by mail not less than ten (10) nor

notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the U.S. mail, with

date, or at such other address as the stockholder shall have furnished in

<PAGE>
Bank. Notice of any special meeting shall indicate that the notice is being
issued by or at the direction of the person or persons calling such meeting.
When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to
another time or place, no notice of the adjourned meeting must be given, other
than an announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken giving
the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned. However, if after
adjournment the Board has fixed a new record date for the adjourned meeting,
notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record on
the new record date.

Section 4. Waiver of Notice. Notice of any annual or special meeting need not
be given to any stockholder who submits a signed waiver of notice, in person or
by proxy, whether before or after the meeting. The attendance of any
stockholder at a meeting, in person or by proxy, without protesting prior to
the conclusion of the meeting the lack of notice of such meeting, shall
constitute a waiver of notice by such stockholder.

Section 5. Quorum. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
capital stock of the Bank issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat,
represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of
stockholders, except as otherwise provided herein, by law or by the Bank's
Organization Certificate. If less than a majority of such shares are represented
at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting
from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a
quorum shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have
been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. When a quorum is once
present to organize a meeting, such quorum is not broken by the subsequent
withdrawal of any stockholders.

Section 6. Voting. Each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting, or to
express consent or dissent without a meeting, may vote or express consent or
dissent either in person or by proxy. Except as may be otherwise provided by
law or the Organization Certificate, each stockholder entitled to vote or
express consent or dissent shall be entitled to one vote for each share of
voting stock registered in his or her name on the books of the Bank on the date
fixed as a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote
or to express consent or dissent. Except for the election of directors or as
otherwise provided by law, by these By-Laws, or by the Organization
Certificate, at all meetings of stockholders all matters shall be determined by
a majority vote of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled
to vote thereat. Directors shall, except as otherwise required by law or by the
Organization Certificate, be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the
holders of each class of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders
present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote in the election.

Section 7. Proxies. All proxies shall be in writing, signed by the stockholder
or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact, and shall be filed with the
Secretary of the Bank before being voted. No proxy shall be valid after eleven
(11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the 
proxy.

Section 8. Written Consent of Stockholders Without a Meeting. Any stockholder
action required or permitted to be taken by vote may be taken without a meeting
on written consent, setting forth the action so taken, signed by the holders of
all outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon.


                                  ARTICLE III

                                 CAPITAL STOCK

Section 1. Certificates of Stock. Certificates of stock shall be in such form
as shall be approved by the Board, provided that each certificate shall when
issued state upon the face thereof (a) that the Bank is a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of New York; (b) the name of the person to whom the
certificate is issued; (c) the number, class and series, if any, which the
certificate represents; and (d) the par value of each share represented by the
certificate. Each certificate shall further state that the Bank will furnish to
any stockholder upon request and without charge a statement of the rights and
preferences of shares of each class or series of stock, or shall set forth such
statement on the certificate itself. The certificates shall be numbered in the
order of their issue, and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board or the
President or any Vice Chairman or any Vice President and the Secretary or any
Assistant Secretary, and the seal of the Bank or a facsimile thereof shall be
impressed, affixed or reproduced thereon.

Section 2. Registration and Transfer of Shares. The name of each person owning
a share of the capital stock of the Bank shall be entered on the books of the
Bank together with the number of shares held by him or her, the numbers of the
certificates covering such shares and the dates of issue of such certificates.
The shares of stock of the Bank shall be transferable on the books of the Bank
by the holders thereof in person, or by their duly authorized attorneys or
legal representatives, on surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like
number of shares, accompanied by an assignment or power of transfer endorsed
thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity
of the signature as the Bank or its agents may reasonably require and with
proper evidence of payment of all applicable transfer taxes. A record shall be
made of each transfer.

Section 3.  Lost, Destroyed and Mutilated Certificates. The holder of any stock
of the Bank shall immediately notify the Bank of any loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of the certificates therefor. The Bank may issue a new
certificate of stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it
alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Board may, in its
discretion, require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or
his or her legal representatives, to give the Bank a bond, in such sum not
exceeding double the value of the stock and with such surety or sureties as
they may require, to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it
by reason of the issue of such new certificate and against all other liability
in the premises, or may refer such owner to such remedy or remedies as he or
she may have under the laws of the State of New York.

Section 4.  Holder of Record. The Bank shall be entitled to treat the holder of
record of any share or shares of stock as the holder thereof in fact and shall
not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or
other notice thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided by law.

                                  ARTICLE IV

domestic or foreign, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by
him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not
the Bank would have the power to indemnify him against such

<PAGE>
liability under the provisions of this Article VIII.

Section 5.  Subsequent Amendment and Subsequent Legislation. Neither the
amendment, termination or repeal of this Article VIII or of relevant provisions
of the Banking Law of the State of New York or any other applicable laws, nor

any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of
such amendment, termination or repeal.

indemnification permitted to directors, officers, employees or agents of the
Bank, then the Bank shall indemnify such persons to the fullest extent

Part II. Loans to Small Businesses and Small Farms

Schedule RC-C, Part II is to be reported only with the June Report of Condition.

Report the number and amount currently outstanding as of June 30 of business
loans with "original amounts" of $1,000,000 or less and farm loans with
"original amounts" of $500,000 or less. The following guidelines should be used
to determine the "original amount" of a loan; (1) For loans drawn down under
lines of credit or loan commitments, the "original amount" of the loan
extended, or renewed prior to the report date. However, if the amount currently
outstanding as of the report date exceeds this size, the "original amount" is
the amount currently outstanding on the report date. (2) For loan
participations and syndications, the "original amount" of the loan
participation or syndication is the entire amount of the credit originated by
the lead lender. (3) For all other loans, the "original amount" is the total
amount of the loan at origination or the amount currently outstanding as of the
report date, whichever is larger.

1.   Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be completed. To be completed
     only by banks with total assets of less than $1 billion. Indicate in the appropriate box
     at the right whether the bank has total capital greater than or equal to eight percent of
     adjusted total assets....................................................................  6056     N/A     1.
</TABLE>
 
          For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets
     less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government agency obligations, and 80
     percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the allowance
     for loan and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items as reported
     on Schedule RC-L (see instructions)
 
          If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to
     complete item 2 below. If the box marked NO has been checked, the bank must
     complete the remainder of this schedule.
 
          A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's
     actual risk-based capital ratio is less than eight percent or that the bank
     is not in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.
