CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

Chemung Financial Corporation (the Corporation), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the Bank) and CFS Group, Inc., a financial services company which commenced operations during the third quarter of 2001, provides a wide range of banking, financing, fiduciary and other financial services to its local market area. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The data in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 was derived from the Corporation's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders. That data, along with the other interim financial information presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and statements of cash flows should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, contained in the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders. Amounts in prior periods' condensed consolidated interim financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary to present fairly the Corporation's financial position as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.

2. Basic Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by 4,009,299 and 4,070,994 weighted average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Issuable shares (such as those related to directors' restricted stock units) are considered outstanding and are included in the computation of basic earnings per share. No dilutive common stock equivalents were outstanding during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 supercedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 16, "Business Combinations," and requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, thus eliminating the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 did not change many of the provisions of APB No. 16 related to the application of the purchase method. However, SFAS No. 141 does specify criteria for recognizing intangible assets separate from goodwill and requires additional disclosures regarding business combinations. SFAS No. 141 is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.

SFAS No. 142 requires that acquired intangible assets (other than goodwill) be amortized over their useful economic life, while goodwill and any acquired intangible assets with an indefinite useful economic life would not be amortized, but would be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis based upon guidelines specified in the Statement. SFAS No. 142 currently excludes from its scope unidentifiable intangible assets recorded under SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions."

SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be evaluated for impairment no later than December 31, 2002, and annually thereafter. The Corporation has concluded that the carrying value of its goodwill is not impaired.

The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. At December 31, 2001, the Corporation had goodwill of $1,516,666 related to the acquisition of a bank in 1994. The amortization expense related to this goodwill amounted to $189,583 for the year ended December 31, 2001. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Corporation is no longer amortizing this goodwill subsequent to December 31, 2001, which will reduce non-interest expenses by $189,583 in 2002, as compared to 2001. Excluding the impact of this goodwill amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2001, net income would have been $1,964,413, or $0.48 basic earnings per share.

At March 31, 2002, the Corporation also has an intangible asset with a carrying amount of $2,850,324 (original amount of $5,965,793, net of accumulated amortization of $3,115,469) related to the acquisition of deposits from the Resolution Trust Company in 1994. This intangible asset is currently excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 142. The amortization expense related to this intangible asset totaled $99,430 for both the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.

As of March 31, 2002, the remaining amortization period for this intangible asset is approximately 7.2 years. This intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis. The estimated annual amortization expense is $397,720 for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 through 2006.

The FASB has previously stated that the unidentifiable intangible asset acquired in the acquisition of a bank or thrift (including acquisitions of branches), where the fair value of the liabilities assumed exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired, should continue to be accounted for under SFAS No. 72. Under SFAS No. 72, the intangible asset associated with the acquisition of deposits from the Resolution Trust Company continues to be amortized, as in prior periods. The FASB has undertaken a project to determine whether unidentifiable intangible assets recorded under SFAS No. 72 should instead be accounted for using the non-amortization approach specified for goodwill under SFAS No. 142. The FASB has made a preliminary decision for transition that any unidentifiable intangible asset recognized as a result of applying SFAS No. 72 shall continue to be amortized unless both of the following criteria are met: (1) the transaction in which the unidentifiable intangible asset arose was a business combination as defined by SFAS No. 141, and (2) at the date the transaction was initially recorded, the depositor relationship intangible was recognized separate from goodwill and has been accounted for separate from goodwill since that time. Based on this preliminary guidance, the Corporation does not meet the criteria above to cease amortization of the unidentifiable intangible asset. Therefore, it appears as though the Corporation will be required to continue amortizing this intangible asset. The FASB plans to issue an Exposure Draft on this issue in the second quarter of 2002, and a final Statement by the end of 2002.

4. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income at the Corporation represents net income plus other comprehensive income or loss, which consists of the net change in unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale, net of the related tax effect. Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss represents the net unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale as of the consolidated balance sheet dates, net of the related tax effect.

Comprehensive income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 was $1,836,583 and $3,535,501, respectively. The following summarizes the components of other comprehensive income (loss):

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Three Months Ended March 31
	2002	2001
Unrealized net holding gains, net of tax (pre-tax amounts of $222,838 and $2,680,053 for the respective periods indicated)	$ 135,307	$1,618,484
Less: Reclassification adjustment for net (gains) losses realized in net income (pre-tax amounts of $245,379 and $0 for the respective periods indicated)	$(148,994)	-
Total other comprehensive (loss) income	$ (13,687)	$1,618,484

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

The review that follows focuses on the significant factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of Chemung Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") during the three month period ended March 31, 2002, with comparisons to the comparable period in 2001, as applicable. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, as well as the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, should be read in conjunction with this review. Amounts in prior periods' unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.

Forward-looking Statements

Statements included in this review and in future filings by Chemung Financial Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in Chemung Financial Corporation press releases, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, which are not historical or current facts, are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Chemung Financial Corporation wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The following important factors, among others, could cause Chemung Financial Corporation's actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement: (1) credit risk, (2) interest rate risk, (3) competition, (4) changes in the regulatory environment, and (5) changes in general business and economic trends. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive, and the Corporation disclaims any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Financial Condition

Consolidated assets at March 31, 2002 totaled $751.2 million, an increase of $26.2 million or 3.6% since the beginning of the year. Earning assets increased $29.2 million or 4.4%, the greatest growth being in federal funds sold which were up $21.8 million. As will be discussed below, this increase is primarily related to higher period-end deposit balances.

Total loans increased $5.9 million or 1.4%, with $4.8 million of this growth in the commercial portfolio. While the volume of activity has declined somewhat when compared to the first quarter of 2001, commercial loan request activity has been fairly steady. We continue to see solid growth in real estate lending, as the mortgage and home equity portfolios have increased $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The above growth has been somewhat offset primarily by a $1.7 million decrease in instalment loans due to the continued slowness in our indirect retail auto lending area.

The Available for Sale segment of the securities portfolio totaled $240.3 million at March 31, 2002, compared to $239.1 million at the end of 2001, an increase of $1.2 million. At amortized cost, major changes include increases in federal agency bonds ($5.8 million) and U.S. Treasury notes ($4.8 million), offset primarily by a decrease in mortgage-backed securities of $9.4 million due to paydowns. During the quarter, a $10.0 million federal agency bond purchase was leveraged with a $10.0 million term repurchase agreement entered into with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. The pre-tax valuation adjustment for net unrealized gains decreased $69 thousand as we have seen some increase in intermediate term market interest rates since the end of 2001. The Held to Maturity segment of the portfolio, consisting primarily of local municipal obligations, totaled $7.4 million as compared to $7.1 million at the end of 2001, an increase of $244 thousand.

The $1.5 million increase in premises and equipment is related to both renovations to our main office first floor as well as the purchase of a new mainframe computer system. These investments are part of an ongoing commitment to provide quality service to both existing and new clients. The above asset increases were offset primarily by a $4.7 million decrease in cash and due from banks due to lower period-end branch cash balances.

The growth in assets has been funded primarily by a $28.2 million or 5.4% increase in deposits since year-end. Public fund deposit balances were up $17.0 million, this increase attributed to real estate tax collections during the quarter as well as state aid checks received by local school districts. All other deposits increased $11.2 million, primarily due to higher personal account balances in demand deposits, savings and investment certificates. This increase in deposits coupled with the above mentioned mortgage-backed securities paydowns were the primary factors in the $21.8 million increase in federal funds sold, as well as the $12.6 million repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase relates primarily to the leveraged federal agency bond purchase discussed above.

Results of Operations

Net income for the first quarter totaled $1.850 million, down $67 thousand or 3.5% as compared to first quarter 2001 results. Earnings per share were down 2.1% from $0.47 to $0.46 per share on 61,695 fewer average shares outstanding. A primary reason for this decline in earnings was a $162.5 thousand increase in the provision for loan losses, from $187.5 thousand in the first quarter of last year to $350 thousand in the first quarter of 2002. This increase is in response to the continued impact of last year's weakened business environment which has resulted in an increase in non-performing loans, primarily related to a few large commercial relationships. It also recognizes the increased inherent risk in the loan portfolio as a result of the current business environment.

Aside from the above, the Corporation has shown strong growth with earning assets averaging $39.3 million or 6.2% higher than during the first quarter of 2001. The primary factors contributing to this increase include a $25.5 million or 6.4% increase in average loans, with the commercial portfolio growing $24.1 million or 14.8% on average. Additionally, the securities portfolio average increased $13.5 million or 6.1%, this growth associated with additional leveraging during both 2001 and the first quarter of this year. This growth has resulted in a $380 thousand or 5.9% increase in net interest income. Total interest and dividend income on earning assets was $11.256 million as compared to $12.202 million a year earlier, a decrease of $946 thousand or 7.8%. This decrease is obviously the result of the interest rate decline throughout 2001, with the yield on earning assets declining 102 basis points from 7.78% to 6.76%.

Total average funding liabilities have increased $36.4 million or 6.0% when compared to the first quarter of 2001. Of this growth, average securities sold under agreements to repurchase are up $33.8 million, the result of an increase in securities purchases funded by term repurchase agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. Average deposits when compared to the first quarter of last year are down $192 thousand. This decrease is a function of lower average public fund balances, which have decreased approximately $35.4 million. All other deposits are up approximately $35.2 million on average, with much of this growth in personal demand deposit, savings and investment certificate averages. Due to the decline in interest rates, interest expense totaled $4.472 million as compared to $5.797 million a year earlier, a decrease of $1.326 million or 22.9%. The total cost of funds, including the effect of non-interest-bearing funding sources (such as demand deposits), decreased 105 basis points from 3.85% to 2.80%. The above yields and costs resulted in a net interest margin during the first quarter of 2002 of 4.07% as compared to 4.08% during the first quarter of 2001.

Other operating income increased $247 thousand or 10.0%. Included in this increase is a $245 thousand net gain on sales of securities. This gain resulted from the sale of a $10.0 million federal agency bond during March. It was expected that this bond, yielding 7.00%, along with another $22.0 million in agency bonds, would be called toward the end of April. In order to mitigate the re-investment rate risk on the full $32.0 million, management determined it prudent to sell the $10.0 million bond during March in order to lock in a rate at that time. The proceeds were re-invested at a yield of 6.00%. All other operating income was flat for the quarter with increases in credit card merchant earnings (+ $64 thousand), service charges (+ $31 thousand) and checkcard interchange income (+ $21 thousand) offset primarily by a $125 thousand decrease in trust and investment services income.

Operating expenses have increased $605 thousand or 10.3%. The most significant factor impacting this increase is a $381 thousand increase in salaries and wages, and pension and other employee benefits. The $192 thousand increase in salaries and wages is reflective of a higher number of employees as well as salary increases since the first quarter of last year. Of the $190 thousand increase in pension and other employee benefits, $103 thousand relates to an increase in pension costs. Due to the interest rate environment and the market decline during 2001, pension expense in the first quarter of this year totaled $50 thousand as compared to a net pension credit during the first quarter of 2001 totaling $53 thousand. Other significant factors influencing the overall operating expense increase include increases in credit card and merchant deposit services processing costs (+$107 thousand) and depreciation expense (+$70 thousand). The increase in credit card and merchant services processing cost is primarily a reflection of a higher level of credit card merchant activity. Depreciation increases relate to the increased investment in property and equipment over the past year. It should also be noted that in compliance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Corporation did not incur any amortization expense related to goodwill during the first quarter of 2002. During the first quarter of 2001, amortization of goodwill totaled $47 thousand.

The $74 thousand decrease in income tax expense is primarily the result of lower pre-tax income, as well as a slight decrease in the effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first three months of 2002, cash and cash equivalents increased by $17.2 million as compared to an increase of $35.3 million during the first quarter of 2001. In addition to cash provided by operating activities, other primary sources of cash in 2002 included proceeds from maturities, sales and principal payments on securities ($35.3 million), an increase in deposits ($28.2 million), and an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase ($10.8 million). During the first quarter of 2001, primary sources of cash included proceeds from maturities, sales and principal payments on securities ($51.9 million), an increase in deposits ($47.5 million) and an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase ($9.2 million).

Cash generated from the above activities has been used primarily to fund growth in earning assets as well as to reduce Federal Home Loan Bank advances. During the first quarter of 2002, the purchase of securities and the funding of loans, net of repayments, totaled $36.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $12.6 million. Other significant uses of cash during the first quarter of 2002 included purchases of premises and equipment ($2.0 million) and the payment of cash dividends ($912 thousand). During the first quarter of 2001, the purchase of securities and the funding of loans, net of repayments, totaled $50.2 million and $14.2 million, respectively. Repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $8.4 million. Other significant uses of cash during the first quarter of 2001 included the purchase of treasury shares ($1.1 million) and the payment of cash dividends ($887 thousand).

As of March 31, 2002, the Corporation's consolidated leverage ratio was 9.73%. Tier I and Total Risk Adjusted Capital ratios were 14.91% and 16.70%, respectively. All of the above ratios are in excess of the requirements for being considered "well capitalized" by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the New York State Banking Department.

During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Corporation acquired 19,721 treasury shares at an average price of $29.02 per share. A cash dividend of $0.23 per share was declared during the quarter, an increase of 4.5% compared to the $0.22 per share dividend declared in the first quarter of 2001.

On May 9, 2001, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares, or approximately 10% of its outstanding common shares, principally through open market transactions from time to time as market conditions warrant. Since the commencement of this repurchase program, the Corporation has acquired 65,360 shares.

Non-Performing Loans and Allowance For Loan Losses

Non-performing loans at March 31, 2002 totaled $9.102 million as compared to $5.633 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $3.469 million. This increase is due to the addition of one commercial relationship totaling $4.473 million to the non-accrual loans category. As reported in the Corporation's annual Form 10-K filing, subsequent to December 31, 2001, information regarding this relationship became available to the Corporation indicating adverse financial performance and insufficient cash flows to service their debt. Accordingly, the relationship has been placed in non-accrual status. Also included in non-performing loans at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 are loans totaling $2.895 million and $3.480 million, respectively, to one client which are greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest. These loans are well-collateralized, and we anticipate that all interest will be brought current during the second quarter, and further that a substantial reduction in the principal will occur. The increase in non-performing loans is directly related to the slumping economy throughout 2001, and is reflective of the impact this has had on our clients, particularly some large commercial relationships. In addition to non-performing loans, as of March 31, 2002, the Corporation, through its loan review function, has identified 18 commercial relationships totaling $7.468 million which it has internally classified as sub-standard, which are currently in the accrual status, as compared to $7.049 million at December 31, 2001. Given the increased level of non-performing and classified relationships, and in recognition of the increased inherent risk of loss in the current loan portfolio, the Corporation increased its provision for loan losses during the first quarter to $350 thousand as compared to $187.5 thousand during the first quarter of last year. The Corporation anticipates that this higher level of provision will continue throughout 2002 if the various risk indicators noted above continue to show signs of increased inherent risk of loss. At March 31, 2002, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses totaled $5.307 million resulting in a coverage ratio of allowance to non-performing loans of 58.30%. Excluding the impact of the $2.895 million in loans mentioned above which are greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest, and for which the Corporation anticipates no loss, this ratio would be 85.50%. An internal review of non-performing loans and the collateral coverage indicates that the current coverage ratio is adequate. The allowance for loan losses to total loans at March 31, 2002 was 1.24% as compared to 1.20% as of December 31, 2001.

Transactions in the allowance for loan losses are as follows:

The following table summarizes the Corporation's non-performing loans (in thousands):

	March 31,2002	December 31, 2001
Non-accrual loans	$5,912	1,490
Troubled debt restructurings	71	78
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest	3,119	4,065
Total non-performing loans	$9,102	5,633

At March 31, 2002, no loan concentrations to borrowers engaged in the same or similar industries exceeded 10% of total loans and the Corporation has no interest-bearing assets other than loans that meet the non-accrual, past due, restructured or potential problem loan criteria.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Corporation realizes a major source of income by acting as intermediary between borrowers and savers. The differential or spread between interest earned on earning assets, primarily loans and investments, and the interest paid to depositors and on other interest-bearing liabilities is affected by changes to market interest rates. Additionally, because of assumptions made relative to the Corporation's loan and investment portfolios and to its deposit base, changes in interest rates can materially affect the projected maturities of these balance sheet classes and thus alter the Corporation's sensitivity to future changes in interest rates.

The Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) has the strategic responsibility for setting the policy guidelines on acceptable interest rate risk exposure. The ALCO is made up of the president, two executive vice presidents, asset liability management officer, senior lending officer, senior marketing officer, chief financial officer and others representing key functions. All guidelines set by this committee are board approved. The ALCO's primary focus is on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income with an acceptable level of volatility as a result of changes to interest rates. At March 31, 2002, it is estimated that an immediate 200-basis-point increase in interest rates would negatively impact our net interest income by 0.66% and an immediate 200-basis-point decrease in interest rates would negatively impact our net interest income by 14.12%. The risk to declining interest rates is slightly over the estimated tolerance of 12.00% set forth in our internal policy. Management attributes this to the overall low level of current interest rates and corresponding large percentage decrease that results when a 200-basis-point shock is modeled. Also, the nature of the Corporation's callable US Agency portfolio, as well as potential prepayments in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio and mortgage loan portfolio, results in less interest income in periods of declining interest rates, as called bonds and increased prepayments result in higher levels of repricing of assets at lower rates. Although currently outside of the policy guideline, management is comfortable with this exposure, as an immediate decrease in interest rates across the yield curve is unlikely at this time.

The Corporation uses an industry standard earnings simulation model as its primary method to identify and manage its interest rate risk profile. The model is based on projected cash flows using historical data for all financial instruments. Also incorporated into the model are assumptions of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates. These assumptions are based on internal historical data. The ALCO recognizes that the assumptions made are inherently uncertain.

Additionally, the ALCO monitors the expected fluctuation of the Corporation's market value of equity with changes to interest rates. Appropriate risk limits have been established in the event of adverse changes to interest rates. At March 31, 2002, the exposure to changing interest rates was within the guidelines established by management.

Other types of market risk, such as foreign exchange rate risk and commodity price risk do not arise in the normal courses of the Corporation's business activities.
