PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General development of business
Chemung Financial Corporation (Corporation) was incorporated on January 2,
1985, under the laws of the State of New York. The Corporation was organized
for the purpose of acquiring a majority holding of Chemung Canal Trust
Company (Bank). The Bank was established in 1833 under the name Chemung
Canal Bank, and was subsequently granted a New York State bank charter in
1895. In 1902, the Bank was reorganized as a New York State trust company
under the name Elmira Trust Company, which name was changed to Chemung Canal
Trust Company in 1903.
On June 1, 1985, after the approval by the New York State Superintendent of
Banks and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the Plan of
Acquisition and holding company application, the Bank became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Corporation. There have been no material changes in the
mode of conducting business of either the Corporation or the Bank since the
acquisition of the Bank by the Corporation.
The Corporation is subject to applicable federal laws relating to bank
holding companies as well as federal securities laws, State Corporation Law
and State Banking Law.

for other reasons.

EXHIBIT C
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INCLUDING THE SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA EXHIBIT
The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about the financial
condition and results of operations of Chemung Financial Corporation which is
not otherwise apparent from the consolidated financial statements included in
this annual report. Reference should be made to those statements and the
selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report for an understanding
of the following discussion and analysis.
Description of Business
Chemung Financial Corporation (the "Corporation) is a one-bank holding company
with its only subsidiary being Chemung Canal Trust Company (the "Bank"), a full
service community bank with full Trust powers. Therefore, the financial
condition should be examined in terms of the acquisition and employment of funds
within its "market areas". Management defines the market areas of Chemung Canal
Trust Company as those areas within a 25-mile radius of branches in these
communities. These areas encompass Chemung, Steuben, Schuyler, and Tioga
counties, together with the northern tier of Pennsylvania. The Bank's lending
policy restricts substantially all lending efforts to these geographical
regions.
Management of Credit Risk - Loan Portfolio
The Bank manages credit risk, while conforming to all state and Federal laws
governing the making of loans, through written policies and procedures
implemented to ensure loan repayment; loan review to identify loan problems at
the earliest possible time; collection procedures (continued even after a loan
is charged off); an adequate allowance for loan losses; and continuing education
and training to ensure lending expertise. Diversification by loan product is
maintained through offering commercial loans, 1-4 family mortgages, and a full
range of consumer loans.
The Executive Committee of the Board is designated to receive required loan
reports, oversee loan policy, and approve loans above the authorized individual
and Senior Loan Committee lending limits. The Senior Loan Committee, consisting
of the president, senior lending officer, commercial loan officer, mortgage
officer, consumer loan officer, and chief financial officer, implements the
Board-approved loan policy.
Supervision and Regulation
The Corporation, as a bank holding company, is regulated under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"), and is subject to the supervision
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve
Board"). Generally, the Act limits the business of bank holding companies to
banking, or managing or controlling banks, performing certain servicing
activities for subsidiaries, and engaging in such other activities as the
Federal Reserve Board may determine to be closely related to banking and a
proper incident thereto.
The Bank is chartered under the laws of New York State and is supervised by the
New York State Banking Department.
On October 1, 1992 the FDIC issued its final Risk-Related Premium System Rule,
which provides for "well capitalized" banks to be assessed at $0.23 per hundred
dollars. Lesser capitalized banks will be assessed on a scale currently
reaching to $0.31. In order to be considered well capitalized, the FDIC
requires a bank's Total Risk Based Capital Ratio to be greater than or equal to
10% AND its Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio to be greater than or equal to 6.00%
AND its leverage ratio to be greater than or equal to 5.00%. In December 1992,
the Bank received notification from the FDIC that it is considered well
capitalized and that the FDIC insurance premium will remain at $0.23 per hundred
dollars of deposit. This designation has been maintained and the Bank's FDIC
insurance premiums for 1994 were $796 thousand and constitute its second largest
non-interest expense behind salaries.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") was
passed in order to protect depositors and taxpayers from the excesses of the S&L
problems of the 1980's. There are a number of provisions in this act that
significantly increase the non-interest operating costs of the Bank. These
rules specifically impact the cost of external audit, the mortgage loan product
(through appraisal requirements), as well as all other loan products and contain
the potential for the regulatory authorities to begin micro-managing banks of
all sizes. Thus, regulatory burden has become a major impediment to banking
profitability. It is anticipated that the Bank Insurance Funds will become
fully capitalized during the current year, at which time a reduction in premium
has been proposed by the Chair of the FDIC.
Competition
The Bank is subject to intense competition in the lending and deposit gathering
aspects of its business from commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions; and other providers of financial services, such as
money market funds, brokerage firms, investment companies, credit companies and
insurance companies. The Bank also competes with nonfinancial institutions,
including retail stores and certain utilities that maintain their own credit
programs, as well as governmental agencies that make available loans to certain
borrowers. The Bank faces significant competition in acquiring quality assets,
due to such factors as increased activities by providers of credit cards, and
the increased lending powers granted to and employed by thrift institutions and
credit unions. The Bank also faces competition in attracting deposits at
reasonable prices due to the activities of money market funds; increased
activities of non-bank deposit takers, including brokerage firms; and the
increased availability of demand deposit type accounts at thrift institutions
and credit unions. Unlike the Corporation, many of these competitors, with the
particular exception of thrift institutions, are not subject to regulation as
extensive as that described under the "Supervision and Regulation" section and,
as a result, they may have a competitive advantage over the Corporation in
certain respects.
Competition for the Bank's fiduciary services comes primarily from brokerage
firms and independent investment advisors. It is not considered particularly
significant and Trust Assets Under Administration totaled $732 million at
December 31, 1994, compared to $699 million a year earlier. The 1994 figure
includes $28 million at book for Owego's Trust Department. Relative to the
Bank's total assets, when compared with peer banks, the Trust Department is
disproportionally large and favorable in terms of generating non-interest
income.

====================================================================================================================
During 1993, the Bank introduced a service designed to meet the needs of
individuals and corporations that do not require their funds to be insured by
the FDIC. This program, utilizing a broad universe of mutual funds to arrive
at four investment model portfolios to match specific investment objectives, had
customer balances in excess of $6 million at December 31, 1993. Originally,
management believed that this product could be marketed through its system of
commercial banking branches. The regulatory issues proved onerous and the
project was terminated as of year-end 1994.
During 1994, however, the Fiduciary Division noted a marked increase in the
competition for personal and corporate investment management services in our
market areas. The reasons were 1) aggressive pricing and marketing by
competitors; and 2) while our long-term investment performance remained strong,
short-term results during the 1992 and 1993 calendar years prompted many present
and potential clients to question the validity of a consistent and inflexible
approach to investing in equities. The temporal proximity of these two
developments challenged us to reflect upon the traditional manner in which
investment services have been brought to our markets. We concluded that our
proprietary products alone would fall short of providing the level of
flexibility that many of our customers will demand.
Thus, in an effort to position the Fiduciary Division for future growth, we have
begun to compliment our more traditional investment alternatives with additional
products made available through strategic alliances with various mutual fund and
insurance companies.
the most mature program to date is the EB ACCESS Program in the employee
benefits administration area which currently utilizes mutual funds from Fidelity
Investors Corp. The Fiduciary Division is also in the process of developing a
similar program which will allow our personal customers to invest in mutual
funds. In addition, annuity contracts will be added to our product menu early
in 1995.
Acquisitions
During 1994, the Bank purchased deposits totaling $45,628,085 from the
Resolution Trust Company and paid a premium of $5,965,793. This deposit base
intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The
total accumulated amortization at December 31, 1994 was $232,003. In acquiring
these deposits management believes that its customer base has been substantially
increased in the areas of Bath, Painted Post and Watkins Glen -- all in New York
State and in communities contiguous to our previous market.
Additionally, on December 29, 1994, the managements of the Corporation and the
Owego National Financial Corporation ("Owego") signed the documents required to
consummate the previously announced acquisition of Owego. Owego commenced
business as a branch of the Bank on January 3, 1995. The total purchase price
was $5,709,031, consisting of $1,164,883 in cash and 193,368 shares of the
Corporation's common stock with a fair value of $4,544,148. The acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations,
and accordingly, all assets and liabilities acquired were adjusted to and
recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition and the results of
operations of Owego will be included in the consolidated financial statements
beginning January 1, 1995. For taxation purposes, the acquisition was accounted
for as a tax-free reorganization. Goodwill of $2,843,750 created as a result
of this acquisition is being amortized on a straight-line after tax basis over
a period of 15 years. At December 29, 1994, Owego's deposits were $36.5
million.
Employees
The Corporation and its Banking subsidiary had 271 full-time equivalent
employees (FTE's) on December 31, 1994. The employment trend is relatively
stable.
Performance Summary
The Corporation's net profits before dividends for 1994 were $4.648 million or
$2.45 per share. This compares with $2.37 per share in 1993 when net profit
before dividends were reduced $933 thousand ($0.50 per share) by the change in
accounting for postretirement medical benefits to $4.494 million ($2.37 per
share). This compared with $4.8 million or $2.55 per share in 1992. Quarterly
dividends declared totaled $0.935 per share vs 1993's $0.875 and $0.82 in 1992.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences caused by the
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the
Corporation's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in
effect when such amounts are to be recovered or settled. At December 31, 1994,
the Corporation has a net deferred tax asset of $2.01 million vs $1.93 million
at December 31, 1993, which in each year was attributable primarily to the tax
effect of differences between the financial and tax bases of the Bank's
allowance for loan losses and its accrual for postretirement benefits other than
pensions.
Net operating income for 1994 was impacted somewhat negatively by a sudden and
sustained increase in interest rates. This compares with 1993 when net
operating income was favorably impacted by an environment of declining interest
rates, with interest expense declining at a significantly more rapid rate than
interest income through the first three quarters. The net interest spread
stopped expanding during the fourth quarter of 1993 and began the most rapid
increase in recent history. Non-interest income totaled $5.685 million compared
to $6.119 million in 1993 and $4.971 million in 1992. Trust Department income,
at $3.3 million is the largest segment of non-interest income. The decline in
non-interest income when compared to 1993 results from the fact that during
1993, $821 thousand in capital gains were realized. $545 thousand of 1993's
gains resulted from the sale of a defaulted bond for $790 thousand which had
been written down to $245 thousand from $1 million during 1991.
Net interest income for 1994 was $19.3 million, an improvement of 3.4%. The net
interest rate margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) for
1994 was 4.89% compared to 5.07% in 1993 and 5.12% in 1992. The net interest
spread between interest earned on average earning assets and interest paid on
average interest-bearing liabilities, however, declined also to 4.26% from the
year earlier 4.42%. Average earning assets for 1994 grew by $28.3 million or
7.7% to $396.7 million, compared to $368.4 million in 1993 and $358.3 million
in 1992. Commercial and home equity loan balances grew 7.9% and 8.9%,
respectively, while the mortgage portfolio declined $3.4 million (4.8%). The
decline in mortgage balances was due to a combination of 1) continued
prepayments caused by historically low interest rates, and 2) a very slow real
estate market.
Non-performing loans at year end declined 37.3% to $1.178 million and
represented 0.49% of total outstanding loan balances compared to 0.85% a year
earlier. Loans charged off net of recoveries were $623.8 thousand compared to
$806.7 thousand in 1993 and $301.8 thousand in 1992. Management viewed the net
chargeoffs in 1993 as consistent with the final stages of the soft business
environment which was somewhat reversed in 1994. The loan loss reserve, at
305.5% of non-performing loans versus 186% a year ago and 178% in 1992, is felt
by management to be adequate.

The implementation of FASB 115, effective January 1, 1994 dramatically increased
the available for sale classification of investment securities and effected the
reported balance sheet by 1) increasing or decreasing the aggregate reported
value of the securities to reflect fair value as of the reporting date; and 2)
increasing or decreasing the corporation's capital account in a like manner, net
of deferred income taxes.
Average total loan balances were $221.4 million versus $224.1 million during
1993 and $221.0 million during 1992. The enhanced business environment caused
commercial loans to increase $5.5 million (7.9%). Mortgage loan balances
dropped $3.4 million (4.8%) to $67.9 million. The acquisition of the Columbia
branches from RTC and the purchase of Owego at year-end had no material impact
upon the average loan balances.
Relatively strong continued demand for home equity loans, which advanced $3.4
million (8.9%) to $41.9 million vs $38.5 million at year end, together with
generally strong performance for installment and credit card business, enabled
total consumer loan balances to advance 14.8%.
The following table demonstrates the impact on net interest income of the
changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and
changes in rates earned and paid by the Bank. For purposes of constructing this
table, earning asset averages include non-performing loans. Therefore, the
impact of lower levels of non-performing loans is reflected in the change due
to rate, but does not affect changes due to volume.

Non-interest income was $5.69 million in 1994 versus $6.12 million in 1993, a
decline of $430 thousand for the year. This change is mostly due to net pretax
securities gains of $821.5 thousand taken in 1993, the largest portion of which
was a $545 thousand gain realized on a previously written down bond. Trust
Department fees totaled $3.32 million in 1994 versus $3.29 million in 1993 and
$3.18 million for 1992.
The board-approved investment portfolio policy requires that except for local
municipal obligations which are sometimes unrated or carry ratings above "Baa"
but below "A" by Moody's or Standard & Poors, debt securities purchased for the
bond portfolio must carry a minimum rating of "A". The policy also states that,
except for short term U.S. Treasury Bills and/or U.S. Government Agency discount
notes, purchases are to be made with the intent of holding to maturity.
Treasury Bills and U. S. Government Agency discount securities are reflected on
our balance sheet as "available for sale".
Non-interest expenses for 1994 were $17.4 million vs $15.6 million in 1993, up
$1.8 million or 11.5%. Salaries and wages were $6.85 million, an increase of
$671 thousand (10.86%). This increase resulted primarily from the acquisition
of the three branches from the RTC. Pension and other employee benefit expense
decreased $159 thousand (8.0%) to $1.82 million.
Total assets at December 31, 1994, were $494.3 million compared with $398.1
million at year-end 1993 and $385.8 million at year-end 1992. Deposits grew by
26.1% to $432 million compared to $343 million at the end of 1993 and $339
million at end of 1992.
Capital Resources and Dividends
The Corporation continues to maintain a strong capital position. Shareholders'
equity at December 31, 1994, was $45.7 million or 9.25% of total assets compared
to $38.3 million or 9.63% of total assets at the end of 1993 and $35.5 million
or 9.20% at the end of 1992.
Effective December 31, 1992, the Federal Reserve required banks and bank holding
companies to maintain a minimum Tier I risk adjusted capital ratio of 4.00% and
a minimum total risk adjusted capital ratio of capital to assets of 8.00%. Tier
I (core) capital is essentially shareholders' equity, adjusted for goodwill
purchased after 1988, net of Treasury stock. Tier 2 (supplementary) capital may
include preferred stock, subordinated debt with an original maturity of 5 years
or more, and the allowance for loan losses.
As of December 31, 1994, the Corporation's total Risk Weighted Adjusted Capital
Ratio was 15.03% compared with 17.09% at the prior year's end.
Under Federal Reserve regulations (see Note 15 to the consolidated financial
statements), the Bank is limited to the amount it may loan to the Corporation,
unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At December 31,
1994, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Corporation
in the form of loans was $1,660,655. The Bank is subject to legal limitations
on the amount of dividends that can be paid to the Corporation. Dividends are
limited to retained net profits, as defined by regulations, for the current year
and the two preceding years. At December 31, 1994, $7,629,531 was available for
the declaration of dividends.
Cash dividends declared amounted to $1.777 million in 1994 compared to $1.657
million in 1993 and $1.553 million in the prior year. Dividends declared
amounted to 38.2% of net earnings compared to 36.8% and 32.2% of 1993 and 1992
net earnings, respectively. It is management's objective to continue generating
sufficient capital internally, while retaining an adequate dividend payout
ratio.
Treasury Shares
When shares of the Corporation come on the market, we will bid only after
careful review of our capital position. During 1994, 7,500 shares were sold at
a price of $23.00 per share to fund profit sharing requirements. During 1993,
2,869 common shares were purchased at a total cost of $65,638 ($22.878 average
cost per share). Additionally, 2,000 common shares were sold at $48,008
($24.004 per share). In 1992, 5,288 shares were acquired at a total cost of
$89,896 ($17.000 average cost per share).
Liquidity and Sensitivity
Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of
deposit customers, borrowers, and the operating, investing, and financing
activities of the Corporation. Management of interest rate sensitivity seeks
to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of
net interest income through periods of changing interest rates.
As intermediaries between borrowers and savers, commercial banks incur interest
rate risk. The Bank's Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) has the strategic
responsibility for setting the policy guidelines on acceptable exposure. The
ALCO is made up of the President, Chief Lending Officer, Chief Marketing
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and others representing key functions.
Interest rate risk is portrayed below using the "contractual" gap. Contractual
gap measures the stated repricing and maturity of assets and liabilities. At
December 31, 1994, the cumulative one-year contractual gap for the Bank was a
negative $111.4 million versus a negative $75.2 million a year earlier and a
negative $108.8 at the end of 1992. This means that $111.4 million of earning
assets will reprice after the source of funds reprice.

====================================================================================================================
A written Asset/Liability Management Policy has been established with a goal of
minimizing the changes in net income which result from interest rate movement.
The Bank's cumulative one-year gap ratio is -23% vs -19% a year earlier and -28%
at the end of 1992. It is well within the written ALCO policy one-year target
of minus 50% or better.
During 1993, the Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York
("FHLB"). The primary reasons for joining the FHLB were to enhance management's
ability to satisfy future liquidity needs and to have an additional alternate
for investing excess reserves. Having invested $1.193 million in FHLB common
stock, the Bank enjoyed a credit line of $22,233,600 at December 31, 1994.
In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114
(SFAS 114), Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan as amended by SFAS
No. 118 Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition
and Disclosure which is effective for the Corporation on January 1, 1995. These
statements require that impaired loans be measured based on the present value
of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate
or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For purposes of
these statements, a loan is impaired when, based on current information and
events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all contractual
interest and principal payments according to the terms of the agreement.
SFAS 114 does not apply to large groups of small balance, homogeneous loans that
are collectively evaluated for impairment. This issuance requires the
Corporation to account for a troubled debt restructuring involving a
modification of terms at fair value as of the date of the restructuring.
Management intends to adopt SFAS 114 as of January 1, 1995, and has determined
that the adoption of SFAS 114 will not have a material effect on the
Corporation's financial condition or results of operations.

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

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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chemung Financial
Corporation and subsidiary at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 1994, the Company changed its method of accounting for securities to
adopt the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Also as
discussed in note 1, at January 1, 1993 the Company changed its method of
accounting for postretirement benefits to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 106,
Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.

CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
(1) STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Chemung Financial Corporation (the Corporation), through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the Bank), provides commercial banking
services to its local market area. The Corporation is subject to the
regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic
examinations by those regulatory agencies. As discussed in note 2, at the end
of 1994 the Corporation acquired Owego National Financial Corporation (Owego), a
commercial bank.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include the
accounts of the Corporation and the Bank. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions eliminated in consolidation.
SECURITIES
The Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities, at January 1, 1994. SFAS 115 requires classification of
securities into three categories: held to maturity, available for sale and
trading. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 115, the Corporation
transferred securities with a cost basis of $94,727,116 to the available for
sale portfolio. There were $4,697,590 of net unrealized gains associated with
these securities.
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time
of purchase. If management has the intent and the Corporation has the ability
at the time of purchase to hold securities until maturity, they are classified
as held to maturity and carried at historical cost, adjusted for the
amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Securities to be held for
indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity are
classified as available for sale and carried at fair value. Securities held for
indefinite periods of time include securities that management intends to use as
part of its asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response
to changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk and other factors
related to interest rate and resultant prepayment risk changes. Unrealized
holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effects, on securities
classified as available for sale are excluded from earnings and are reported as
a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. Securities
classified as available for sale prior to January 1, 1994, are reported at the
lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Realized gains and losses are determined
using the specific identification method.
Transfers of securities between categories are recorded at fair value at the
date of transfer. The unrealized holding gains or losses included in the
separate component of shareholders' equity for securities transferred from
available for sale to held to maturity are maintained and amortized into
earnings over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment to yield in a
manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of premium or discount on
the associated security.
A decline in the market value of any available for sale or held to maturity
security below amortized cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to
earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related
security as an adjustment of yield using the interest method. Dividend and
interest income are recognized when earned.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to
provide for loan losses. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to
earnings and recoveries of loans previously charged off, and reduced by loan
charge-offs. Charge-offs include the excess of a loan's carrying value over
estimated fair value of real estate received and transferred to other real
estate. The level of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of
potential losses in the loan portfolio, prevailing and anticipated economic
conditions, past loss experience, and other factors pertinent to estimating
potential losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is
adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on
loans, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions, particularly in New York State. In addition, various
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their
judgments about information as available to them at the time of their
examination.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 (SFAS 114), Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan as amended by SFAS No. 118 Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure is
effective for the Corporation on January 1, 1995. These statements require
that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical
expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For purposes of these
statements, a loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all contractual interest
and principal payments according to the terms of the loan agreement.
These statements will be adopted on January 1, 1995 on a prospective basis.
Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS 114 will not have a material
effect on the Corporation's financial condition, results of operation, cash flow
or liquidity.
LOANS
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal balance less unearned
discounts and net deferred fees.
Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations on the level yield
method. The accrual of interest is discontinued and previously accrued interest
is reversed when commercial and real estate mortgage loans become 120 days
delinquent. Consumer loans which are not guaranteed by government agencies are
generally charged off upon becoming 180 days delinquent. Loan origination fees
and certain loan origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life
of the loan using the interest method.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation is charged to current operations under accelerated
and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which
range from 15 to 50 years for buildings and from 3 to 10 years for equipment and
furniture. Amortization of leasehold improvements and leased equipment is
recognized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the
estimated life of the assets.
OTHER REAL ESTATE
Real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure,
including loans considered in-substance foreclosures, is recorded at the lower
of the carrying value of the loan or estimated fair value of the property at
the time of acquisition. Write downs from cost to estimated fair value which
are required at the time of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan
losses. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values of such properties
resulting from declines in fair value are charged to operations in the period in
which the declines occur.
INCOME TAXES
The Corporation files a consolidated return on the accrual method. Effective
January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, and has included the cumulative effect of that
change in the 1993 consolidated statement of income. Because the effect of the
change is not material, it has been included in the 1993 tax provision.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Pursuant to the deferred method under APB Opinion 11, which was applied in 1992
and prior years, deferred income taxes were recognized for income and expense
items that were reported in different years for financial reporting purposes and
income tax purposes using the tax rate applicable for the year of calculation.
Under the deferred method, deferred taxes were not adjusted for subsequent
changes in tax rates.
TRUST DEPARTMENT INCOME
Assets held in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers are not included in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, since such assets are not assets
of the Corporation. Trust department income is recognized on the accrual method
based on contractual rates applied to the balances of individual trust accounts.
PENSION PLAN
Pension cost is computed using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
The Bank's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to
meet minimum regulatory funding requirements, plus such additional amounts as
the Bank may determine to be appropriate from time to time.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
In addition to pension benefits, the Bank provides health care and life
insurance benefits for retired employees. Effective January 1, 1993, the
Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 (SFAS
106), Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,
which establishes a new accounting principle for the cost of retiree health care
and other postretirement benefits. Immediate recognition of the transition
obligation was elected. Prior to 1993, the Corporation recognized these
benefits on the pay-as-you-go method. The cumulative effect of the change in
method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions is reported
in the 1993 consolidated statement of income.
GOODWILL AND DEPOSIT BASE INTANGIBLE
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of
identifiable assets acquired, is being amortized over 15 years on the straight-
line method. Deposit base intangible, resulting from the Bank's purchase of
deposits from the Resolution Trust Company in 1994, is being amortized over the
expected useful life of 15 years on a straight-line basis. Amortization periods
are monitored to determine if events and circumstances require such periods to
be reduced.
PER SHARE INFORMATION
Per share data was computed on the basis of the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, retroactively adjusted for stock splits and
dividends.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from banks, federal funds
sold, and U.S. Treasury securities with original terms to maturity of 90 days or
less.
SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE
The Corporation enters into sales of U.S. Treasury securities under agreements
to repurchase (reverse repurchase agreements). These reverse repurchase
agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase
securities sold are reflected as liabilities in the consolidated statement of
financial condition. The amount of the securities underlying the agreements
remains in the asset account. The Corporation has agreed to repurchase
securities identical to those sold.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Corporation does not engage in the use of derivative financial instruments
and the Corporation's only financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are
disclosed in note 14.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Amounts in the prior year's consolidated financial statements are reclassified
whenever necessary to conform with the current year's presentation.
(2) ACQUISITIONS
On December 29, 1994, management of the Corporation and of Owego signed the
documents required to consummate the previously announced acquisition of Owego.
Owego commenced business as a branch of the Bank on January 3, 1995. The total
purchase price was $5,709,031, consisting of $1,164,883 in cash and 193,368
shares of the Corporation's common stock with a fair value of $4,544,148 at the
date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
method, accordingly, all assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at their
fair values at the date of acquisition and the results of operations of Owego
will be included in the consolidated financial statements beginning January 1,
1995. For taxation purposes the acquisition was accounted for as a tax free
reorganization. The excess of the cost over the fair value of the net assets
acquired (goodwill) of $2,843,750 is being amortized on the straight-line method
over a period of 15 years.
During 1994, the Bank acquired deposits totaling $45,628,085 from the Resolution
Trust Company at a premium of $5,965,793. This deposit base intangible asset is
being amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years. The total
accumulated amortization at December 31, 1994 was $232,003.
The Corporation's unaudited proforma condensed consolidated results of
operations for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 are presented below.
This proforma information has been prepared assuming that the acquisition of
Owego had been effective January 1, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Such proforma
condensed financial information includes various estimates and is not
necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations as they might
have been had the acquisition been effective as of January 1, 1994 or 1993.

The fair value of securities pledged to secure public funds on deposit or for
other purposes as required by law was $96,791,741 at December 31, 1994 and
$62,886,134 at December 31, 1993. U.S. Treasury securities totaling $19,277,150
and $14,897,000 (fair value of $18,776,577 and $14,976,843) were pledged to
secure repurchase agreements at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, see
note 8.
There are no securities of a single issuer (other than securities of the U.S.
Government and its agencies) that exceed 10% of shareholders' equity at December
31, 1994 or 1993.
(5) LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The composition of the loan portfolio is summarized as follows:
December 31, 1994 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Residential mortgages $ 54,717,992 56,894,106
Commercial mortgages 13,194,116 14,451,711
Commercial, financial and agricultural 75,006,015 69,483,923

$ 236,497,448 222,261,132
====================================================================================================================
During 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Corporation sold $2,507,848, $2,572,308 and
$1,602,199, respectively, of education loans at par to the Student Loan
Marketing Association.
The Corporation's market area encompasses the New York State counties of
Chemung, Steuben, Schuyler and Tioga. Substantially all of the Corporation's
outstanding loans are with borrowers living or doing business within 25 miles
of the branches in these counties. The Corporation's concentrations of credit
risk are reflected in the preceding schedule. The concentrations of credit risk
with standby letters of credit, committed lines of credit and commitments to
originate new loans, generally follow the loan classifications in the schedule.
Other than general economic risks, management is not aware of any material
concentrations of credit risk to any industry or individual borrower.
The principal balances of loans not accruing interest totaled $1,200,547 and
$1,605,341 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. There were no loans
with modified payment terms because of the borrowers' financial difficulties at
December 31, 1994 and 1993. The effect of nonaccrual loans on interest income
for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 was not material. The Bank
is not committed to advance additional funds to these borrowers. Other real
estate owned at December 31, 1994 consisted of $171,000 involving four
properties. There was no other real estate owned at December 31, 1993.
Transactions in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31,

The agreements have maturities from 4 to 97 days at December 31, 1994 and 3 to
137 days at December 31, 1993, and a weighted average interest rate of 5.30% at
December 31, 1994 and 2.86% at December 31, 1993. The maximum amounts

custodian. See note 4 for a description of the securities underlying these
borrowings.
(9) INCOME TAXES
As discussed in note 1, the Corporation adopted SFAS 109 as of January 1, 1993.
The cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income taxes is included
as an increase in income taxes in the consolidated statement of income for the
year ended December 31, 1993 because the effect of the change is not material.
Total income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 were
allocated as follows:
1994 1993 1992
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Income before income taxes
and cumulative effect of
accounting change $ 2,342,765 2,830,032 2,295,525
Cumulative effect, at January 1,
1993, of adoption of SFAS 109 - 643,939 -
Shareholders' equity for change in
unrealized loss on securities (120,156) - -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 2,222,609 3,473,971 2,295,525
====================================================================================================================
For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, income tax expense
attributable to income from operations before cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle consists of:
1994 1993 1992
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current:
State $ 499,305 709,967 689,864
Federal 1,744,846 2,230,109 2,008,514
2,244,151 2,940,076 2,698,378
Deferred 98,614 (110,044) (402,853)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 2,342,765 2,830,032 2,295,525
====================================================================================================================
Income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S.
Federal statutory income tax rate to income before cumulative effect of change
in accounting principle as follows:
1994 1993 1992
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tax computed at statutory rate $ 2,376,699 2,804,386 2,421,298
Tax exempt interest (435,678) (402,658) (490,103)
Dividend exclusion (32,362) (31,829) (32,395)
State taxes, net of federal benefit 345,813 479,566 454,939
Nondeductible interest expense 41,829 33,751 45,230
Other items, net 46,464 (53,184) (103,444)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual tax expense $ 2,342,765 2,830,032 2,295,525
====================================================================================================================
Deferred income benefit resulting from timing differences between items of
income and expense reported for financial reporting purposes and those reported
for federal income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 1992 are as
follows:
Provision for loan losses $ (266,100)
Other (136,753)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ (402,853)
=================================================================================================
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1994 and
1993 are presented below:
1994 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deferred tax assets:
Allowance for loan losses $ 1,066,814 1,046,201
Accrual for postretirement benefits
other than pensions 699,494 733,036
Deferred loan fees 185,896 240,865
Deferred compensation and directors fees 322,897 309,300
Net unrealized losses on securities 120,156 -
Other 138,535 32,103
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total gross deferred tax assets 2,533,792 2,361,505
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deferred tax liabilities:
Bond discount 101,715 49,760
Depreciation 389,469 333,569
Other 37,002 48,191
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total gross deferred tax liabilities 528,186 431,520
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net deferred tax asset $ 2,005,606 1,929,985
====================================================================================================================
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future
taxable income or the existence of sufficient taxable income within the
carryback period. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than
not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In
assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers the scheduled
reversal of the deferred tax liabilities, the level of historical taxable income
and projected future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary
differences comprising the deferred tax assets will be deductible. Based on its
assessment, management determined that no valuation allowance is necessary.
(10) PENSION PLAN
The Bank has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees. The plan's defined benefit formula generally bases
payments to retired employees upon their length of service multiplied by a
percentage of the average monthly pay over the last five years of employment.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized
in the Corporation's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and 1993:
1994 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actuarial present value of accumulated benefit
obligation, including vested benefits of
$9,009,876 and $8,469,892 in 1994 and
1993 respectively $ (9,314,611) (8,733,282)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Projected benefit obligation for service
rendered to date (11,573,174) (11,068,821)
Plan assets at fair value 11,833,298 12,235,923
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excess of plan assets over the projected
benefit obligation 260,124 1,167,102
Unrecognized net obligation 909,342 979,230
Unrecognized net gain (1,207,086) (2,067,707)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Accrued) prepared pension cost $ (37,620) 78,625
====================================================================================================================
Net periodic pension cost included the following components:
Years ended December 31,
1994 1993 1992
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost - benefits earned
during the year $ 271,218 265,992 257,268
Interest cost on projected
benefit obligation 757,327 762,002 718,767
Actual return on plan assets (131,585) (245,983) (599,277)
Net amortization and deferral (780,715) (599,153) (157,633)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net periodic pension cost $ 116,245 182,858 219,125
====================================================================================================================
Assumptions used in determining pension amounts are as follows:
1994 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discount rate for benefit obligations 7.0% 7.0%
Rate of increase in compensation levels 5.0 5.0
Expected long-term rate of return of assets 8.5 8.5
The plan's assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993 are invested in common and
preferred stocks, U.S. Government securities, and corporate bonds and notes.
The Bank also sponsors a defined contribution profit sharing, savings and
investment plan which covers all employees with a minimum of 1,000 hours of
annual service. The Bank matches at the rate of 50% of the first 6% of an
eligible employee's current earnings. Expense under the plan totaled $423,161,
$406,798 and $450,241 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
(11) OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
The Bank sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that provides
postretirement medical, dental and prescription drug benefits to full-time
employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. Postretirement life
insurance benefits are also provided to certain employees who retired prior to
July 1981. The plan is contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted
annually, and contains other cost sharing features such as deductibles and
coinsurance. The accounting for the plan anticipates future cost-sharing
changes to the written plan that are consistent with the Bank's expressed intent
to increase the retiree contribution rate annually for the expected general
inflation rate for that year. The Bank's policy is to fund the cost of medical
benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of management.
As discussed in note 1, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106 (SFAS 106), Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, as of January 1, 1993. The effect
of adopting SFAS 106 on net income and the net periodic postretirement cost for
the year ended December 31, 1993, was a decrease of $933,183 and an increase of
$108,173, respectively.
The following table presents the plan's funded status reconciled with amounts
recognized in the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1994
and 1993:
1994 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation:
Retirees $ (909,058) (712,811)
Fully eligible active plan participants (140,404) (289,929)
Other active plan participants (624,166) (797,068)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1,673,628) (1,799,808)
Unrecognized net (gain)loss (44,910) 113,613
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accrued postretirement benefit cost
included in other liabilities $ (1,718,538) (1,686,195)
====================================================================================================================
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1994 and 1993 includes the
following components:
1994 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost $ 44,407 99,889
Interest cost 114,642 118,284
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 159,049 218,173
====================================================================================================================
For measurement purposes, a 13.5% and 11.5% annual rate of increase in the per
capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) for non
medicare and medicare, respectively, was assumed for 1994; the rate was assumed
to decrease gradually to 5.5% by the year 2005 and remains at that level
thereafter. A 1% increase in the trend rate for all future years does not have
a material effect on the obligation. The weighted-average discount rate used in
determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligations was 7% at
December 31, 1994 and 1993.
(12) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Members of the Board of Directors, certain Bank officers, and their immediate
families directly, or indirectly through entities in which they are principal
owners (more than a 10% interest), were customers of, and had loans and other
transactions with, the Bank in the ordinary course of business.
All loans and commitments included in such transactions were made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. These
loans and commitments, which did not involve more than normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features, are summarized as follows
for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993:
1994 1993
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Balance at beginning of year $ 9,892,451 8,960,569
Additions 26,807,438 34,701,638
Amounts collected (29,525,783) (33,769,756)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Balance at end of year $ 7,174,106 9,892,451
====================================================================================================================
(13) EXPENSES
The following expenses, which exceeded 1% of total revenues (total interest
income plus other operating income) in at least one of the years presented, are
included in other operating expenses:
Years ended December 31,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(14) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various commitments and
contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, which are not
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Commitments to
outside parties under standby letters of credit, unused portions of lines of
credit, and commitments to fund new loans totaled $1,904,607, $75,940,053 and
$572,338, respectively, at December 31, 1994. The Corporation does not
anticipate losses as a result of these transactions.
The Bank has employment contracts with certain of its senior officers, which
expire at various dates through 1998 and may be extended on a year-to-year
basis.
(15) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Under Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is limited to the amount it may loan
to the Corporation, unless such loans are collateralized by specific
obligations. At December 31, 1994, the maximum amount available for transfer
from the Bank to the Corporation in the form of loans was $1,660,655. The Bank
is subject to legal limitations on the amount of dividends that can be paid to
the Corporation. Dividends are limited to retained net profits, as defined by
regulations, for the current year and the two preceding years. At December 31,
1994, $7,629,531 was available for the declaration of dividends.

====================================================================================================================
(17) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate thefair value of
each class of financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For those short-term instruments that generally mature in ninety days or less,
the carrying value approximates fair value.
SECURITIES
Fair values for securities are based on either 1) quoted market prices,2) dealer
quotes, 3) correspondent bank pricing system, or 4) discounted cash flow to
maturity.
LOANS RECEIVABLE
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently, fair values are based on
carrying values. The fair values for other loans are estimated through
discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currentlybeing offered for
loans with similar terms and credit quality.
DEPOSITS
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, savings accounts andmoney market
accounts are, by definition, equal to the amounts payable on demand at the
reporting date (i.e., their carrying values).
The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposits is estimated using a
discounted cash flow approach that applies interest rates currently being
offered on certificates to a schedule of weighted average expected monthly
maturities on time deposits.
BORROWINGS
These instruments bear variable rates and therefore the carrying value
approximates fair value.
COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT
The fair value to commitments to extend credit are equal to the contract value
of the commitments as the contractual rates and fees approximate those currently
charged to originate similar commitments.
The estimated fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1) Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters
of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
(18) REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENT
The Bank is subject to the capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Under the "prompt corrective action" provisions of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, (the FDIC Act),
federal regulators are required to take prompt corrective action to solve the
problems of crititically undercapitalized institutions. The FDIC Act
established capital levels for which insured institutions will be categorized as
(in declining order) well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized.
Under the FDIC Act, a "well capitalized" institution must have a risk based
capital ratio of 10 percent, a core capital ratio of 5 percent and a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of 6 percent. (The "Tier 1 risk-based capital" ratio
is the ratio of core capital to risk-weighted assets.) The Bank is a well
capitalized institution under the definitions.

DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS

The Corporation has no standing committees.
The Board of Directors of the Bank held twelve (12) regularly scheduled
meetings and no special meetings during the year ended December 31, 1994.
Among its standing committees, the Board of Directors of the Bank has an
Examining Committee, Nominating Committee and a Personnel Committee.
The Examining Committee makes an annual examination of the Bank as a whole,
reviews the Banks internal audit and loan review procedures, and recommends
to the Board of Directors the engagement and dismissal of independent
auditors. During 1994 this Committee held three (3) meetings. On December
31, 1994 its members were Messrs. Brooks (Chairman), Agan, Hoffman, McDowell,
Meyer, Potter, Powers and Semel.
The Nominating Committee selects and recommends to the Board of Directors
nominees for election to the Board. The Committee will consider written
recommendations by Shareholders for nominees for election to the Board if
such recommendations are mailed to the Chairman of the Nominating Committee
or to the President of the Corporation at the Corporations Main Office, One
Chemung Canal Plaza, Elmira, New York 14902. There were no Committee
meetings held in 1994. On December 31, 1994 its members were Messrs. Swan
(Chairman), Bennett, Brooks, D. Dalrymple, McDowell, Potter, Powers,
Streeter, and Mrs. Kuenkler.
The Personnel Committee reviews employee benefit programs and employee
relation policies and procedures. Additional responsibilities include the
nomination of officers, recommendation of Executive Officer compensation
plans, and establishment of guidelines for setting all other officers'
salaries. The Committee held six (6) meetings in 1994 and on December 31,
1994 its members were Messrs. Meier (Chairman), Brooks, D. Dalrymple, Evans,
Meyer, Potter, Streeter, Ughetta, and Mrs. van den Blink.
During the year ended December 31, 1994, each director of the Corporation and
the Bank attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (1) the total number of
Board Meetings held and (2) the total number of meetings held by all
committees of which such director was a member, with the exceptions of
Messrs. Agan, Brooks, McDowell, and Mrs. Kuenkler who attended 64%, 73%, 72%
and 54%, respectively, of such meetings.
DIRECTORS COMPENSATION
Each director of the Bank who is not an officer or employee of the Bank
receives an annual retainer of $5,000 and a fee of $300 for each meeting of
the Board of Directors attended. Those directors who are members of one or
more committees of the Board of Directors also receive a fee of $300 for each
meeting of each committee attended, with the exception of the Chairman of
each committee who receives $350.
Directors who are not officers or employees of the Corporation receive a fee
of $300 for attendance at meetings of the Board of the Corporation which are
held on days when there is no meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bank.
There was one such meeting during 1994. Otherwise, directors of the
Corporation are not compensated for services rendered by them to the
Corporation. It presently is contemplated that such will continue to be the
policy of the Corporation.
Any director who is entitled to receive a retainer and fees for meetings of
the Board of Directors and of committees thereof attended, may elect to have
all or a portion of said retainer and fees deferred under the Banks
Deferred Directors Fee Plan . Each participating director may designate, in
increments of 10%, the compensation to be deferred, or compensation already
deferred, to be allocated to a memorandum Money Market or a memorandum Unit
Value Account, or a combination of such accounts. The memorandum Money
Market Account of each participating director is credited with the dollar
amount of deferral, and interest is computed and added to said account at the
times and in the manner and at the rate at which interest is computed for the
Bank's Insured Money Market Accounts. The memorandum Unit Value Account of
each participating director is credited with the dollar amount of deferral,
with the aggregate of said deferred amounts being converted to units on a
quarterly basis by dividing the aggregate of said deferred amounts by the
closing bid price for shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation on such
trading dates as noted in the Plan. Dividends are credited to said account
on the dates and at the rate per unit at which dividends are paid per share
on the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock and are then converted to
units using the same basis of conversion as for deferred amounts. Within
certain time limitations, a participating director may elect to receive
deferred fees either in a lump sum or in installments.
The aggregate amount of directors retainers and fees paid and deferred during
1994 was $207,350. No additional compensation was received by any director
for special assignments or services.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Some of the directors and officers of the Bank, and some of the corporations
and firms with which these individuals are associated, also are customers of
the Bank in the ordinary course of business, or are indebted to the Bank in
respect to loans of $60,000 or more, and it is anticipated that some of these
individuals, corporations and firms will continue to be customers of and
indebted to the Bank on a similar basis in the future. All loans extended to
such individuals, corporations and firms were made in the ordinary course of
business, did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present
other unfavorable features and were made on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time
for comparable bank transactions with unaffiliated persons.
The Bank has purchased insurance from a CNA Company, American Casualty
Company of Reading, Pennsylvania, providing for reimbursement of directors
and officers of the Corporation and the Bank for costs and expenses incurred
by them in actions brought against them for
wrongful acts in connection with their duties as directors or officers,
including actions as fiduciaries of the Banks Pension and Profit-Sharing
Plans, under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
insurance coverage, which expires in November 1995, costs $18,423 on an
annual basis, and has been paid by the Bank. No claims have been made or pad
under this insurance.
The Bank has retained Sayles, Evans, Brayton, Palmer & Tifft, of which Mr.
Hoffman is a partner, for legal services during the last two years and
expects to retain Sayles, Evans, Brayton, Palmer & Tifft for legal services
during the current year.
VOTING SECURITIES AND EQUITY OWNERSHIP BY CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND BY
DIRECTORS, NOMINEES AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 8, 1995, as
the record date for determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of and
to vote at this Meeting.
As of the close of business on February 15, 1995, the Corporation had
outstanding 2,093,481 shares of Common Stock. Each of said shares is
entitled to one vote at the Meeting with respect to each matter to be voted
upon. None of said stock has cumulative voting rights.
To the knowledge of the Corporation, as of January 3, 1995, the only persons
who beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the
Corporations Common Stock are set forth below:
Mary E. Dalrymple of 661 Foster Avenue, Elmira, New York, David J. Dalrymple
of 274 Upper Coleman Avenue, Elmira, New York and Robert H. Dalrymple of 875
Upland Drive, Elmira, New York, may be deemed to have beneficially owned
collectively 341,349 shares or 16.31% of the Corporation's Common Stock.
Mary E. Dalrymple, the mother of David J. Dalrymple and Robert H. Dalrymple,
owned directly 214,221 of said shares. David J. Dalrymple owned directly
46,162 shares and as custodian for his children under the New York State
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act 1,904 shares. Robert H. Dalrymple owned directly
38,000 shares and as custodian for his children under the New York State
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act 1,904 shares. Dalrymple Holding Corporation, of
which corporation David J. Dalrymple and Robert H. Dalrymple are officers,
directors and principal shareholders, owned directly 39,158 of said shares.
Said total ownership by said three persons does not include 15,115 shares
owned by Susquehanna Supply Company of which David J. Dalrymple and Robert H.
Dalrymple each own 23.1% of the outstanding common stock nor does it include
1,350 shares and 1,000 shares owned by the respective spouses of David J.
Dalrymple and Robert H. Dalrymple. Said persons may be deemed to share
beneficial ownership because of family relationships amongst them and because
they may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Section 13
(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The disclosure described herein shall not be
deemed to be an admission by said persons that such a group exists.
The Bank, in various fiduciary, agency and trust capacities held a total of
608,507 shares or 29.1 % of the outstanding stock of the Corporation. When
acting in a co-fiduciary capacity, the shares will be voted by the
co-fiduciary or fiduciaries in the same manner as if the co-fiduciary or
fiduciaries were the sole fiduciary. Where the Bank is sole trustee, the
shares will be voted only if the trust instrument provides for voting the
stock at the direction of the donor or a beneficiary and such direction is in
fact received. It is the intention of the Bank in its fiduciary capacity to
vote those shares as to which it has sole voting power in favor of the
proposals as hereinafter described.
As of January 3, 1995, each director or nominee and each Executive Officer
named in the Summary Compensation Table herein, individually, and all
directors, nominees and Executive Officers as a group beneficially owned
Common Stock as reported to the Corporation as of said date as follows
(unless otherwise indicated, each of the persons named has sole voting and
investment power with respect to the shares listed):

ownership, reports of changes in beneficial ownership, and annual reports
involving security transactions pursuant to one or more rules as set forth
under Sections 16(a) and 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act. Directors,
executive officers, and greater than ten percent shareholders are required
by SEC regulation to furnish the Corporation with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file.
To the Corporation's knowledge, based on review of the copies of such reports
furnished to the Corporation and written representations that no other
reports were required for the year ended December 31, 1994, the executive
officers, directors and any ten percent shareholder complied with all
Section 16(a) filing requirements.
MANAGEMENT:
DIRECTORS' PERSONNEL COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Under the supervision of the Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors
which is composed entirely of outside directors, the Bank has developed and
implemented compensation policies which seek to enhance the profitability of
the Bank and the Corporation and thus, shareholder value while at the same
time providing fair and competitive compensation which will attract and
retain well-qualified executives. Based upon recommendations of the
Personnel Committee, the Board of Directors sets the annual compensation of
the Chief Executive Officer and approves guidelines establishing compensation
for other senior management which is then recommended by the Chief Executive
Officer based upon performance and other relevant factors and then approved
by the Board of Directors. Aside from the fringe benefit programs in which
all Bank employees participate, annual compensation of all Bank executives
consists of an annual salary and a discretionary bonus which may or may not
be deferred at the executive's election. This bonus is paid only if profits
for the year exceed 8% of the Shareholders equity and is recommended by the
Personnel Committee and fixed by the Board of Directors near year-end, when
results for the year can be accurately predicted. The Bank at present has no
long term compensation plan such as stock options.
In evaluating the performance and recommending the compensation of the Chief
Executive Officer and the compensation guidelines for the Bank's other senior
management, the committee has taken particular note of management's success
during 1994 in achieving certain profit, growth and operational objectives
which were established by the Board of Directors in the Bank Plan at the
beginning of 1994 and compared the Corporation's financial results against
the results reported by similar banking businesses in New York and
Pennsylvania. In making its evaluation the committee also noted management's
successful expansion of the Corporation's market base during 1994 through the
acquisition from the Resolution Trust Corporation of deposits and banking
offices in three new market areas and the further expansion to a fourth new
market area through a merger with an existing full-service bank. The
financial and operational measurements considered by the Board were:
profits, return on assets, return on equity, new product development, expense
control, asset growth, non-interest income, asset quality and asset liability
management. There is no specific weight given to any of these factors and
there is no formula whereby a certain performance will result in a certain
bonus or salary. he committee subjectively considers total performance and
the total financial and operating conditions of the Bank in making its
compensation recommendations.
Also, in considering the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, the
committee consulted with Ben S. Cole of Ben S. Cole Financial Inc., an
organization which provides comparative information on CEO compensation for
a nationwide peer group of independent banks and holding companies having
similar asset size. From this consultation it was determined that the
performance of the Bank compared favorably with that of its peers and that
the compensation paid by the Bank was well within the range of compensation
paid by its peers.
In its review of management performance and compensation, the committee has
also taken into account management's consistent commitment to the long-term
success of the Corporation and its subsidiary. The committee has recognized
that the Corporation's profitability in any one year is considerably impacted
by the general economic conditions nationally and in its trading areas, over
which management has little or no control, and the committee's policy,
therefore, is to not over-emphasize, either positively or negatively, a
single year's results at the expense of significant, sustained, long-term
earnings growth.
Based on its evaluation of these factors, the committee believes that the
executive management of the Corporation is dedicated to achieving significant
improvements in long-term financial performance and that the compensation
policies, plans and programs the committee has implemented and administered
have contributed to achieving this management focus.

RETIREMENT PLAN
The Bank maintains a non-contributory, defined benefit Retirement Plan
trusteed and administered by the Bank. The Plan covers all employees who
have attained age 20 with one or more years of service and who have one
thousand hours of service during the plan year. Under the Plan, the annual
benefit payable to qualifying employees upon their retirement is based on the
average of their five highest paid years out of the last ten calendar years
of employment. Normal retirement age under the Plan is 65. The Plan also
provides for reduced benefit payments for early retirement following age 55.
Compensation under the Plan is limited to all of an employees salary, wages,
or other regular payments from the Bank, excluding bonuses, commissions,
overtime pay, or other unusual payments.
The Retirement Plan provides an annual benefit of 1.2% for each year of
credited service to a maximum of 25 years and for each additional year to a
maximum of 10 years, 1% times the above average compensation, plus for each
year of credited service to a maximum of 35 years , .65% of the above average
compensation to the extent it exceeds the average of the taxable wage base in
effect under Section 230 of the Social Security Act for each year in the 35
- year period ending with the year in which the participant attains social
security retirement age (which base was $24,312 for a participant attaining
age 65 in 1994).
The following table sets forth the estimated annual benefits, based upon a
straight-life annuity form of pension, payable on retirement at age 65 by a
participating employee, assuming final average earnings as shown. Employees
become fully vested following 5 years of service.

The previously- noted executive officers of the Corporation and the Bank had
the following credited full years of service under the Plan, as of December
31, 1994: John W. Bennett (39) and Jan P. Updegraff (24).
Due to the full funding limitation, the Bank made no contribution to the
Pension Plan for 1994. Contributions made to the Pension Plan by the Bank
totaled $306,288 for 1993, and $316,345 for 1992.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Bank established a non-qualified Executive
Supplemental Pension Plan designed to provide a benefit which, when added to
other retirement income, will ensure the payment of a competitive level of
retirement income in order to attract, retain and motivate selected
executives of the Bank. From time to time the Board of Directors may select
executives as participants in the plan. Currently, the President is the only
plan participant.
The Plan provides an annual benefit equal to the amount, if any, that the
benefit which would have been paid under the terms of the Bank's Pension
Plan, computed as if the basic Pension Plan benefit formula administered and
payable without regard to the special benefit limitations required to comply
with Sections 415, 401(a)(17) and other governing sections of the Internal
Revenue Code, exceeds the benefit which is payable to the participant under
the terms of the Pension Plan on the date of the participant's termination.
PROFIT SHARING, SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN
The Bank maintains a Profit-Sharing, Savings and Investment Plan for the
benefit of all employees with one or more years of service who have attained
one thousand hours of service during the Plan year. The Banks contribution
in any year is paid out of the Banks net profit and, therefore, is subject to
change from year to year. The contribution shall not exceed the maximum
amount deductible for income tax purposes for such year. Annual
contributions under the Plan are allocated pro rata on the basis of
participants aggregate covered compensation, limited, however, to a maximum
of 50% of the defined benefit limit under Code Section 415 (b) (1) (A) in
effect as of January 1 of the Plan Year for which the contribution is made
(50% of $118,800 or $59,400 for 1994). Participants who have earned at least
five years of vesting service may make limited withdrawals from the Plans
Trust Fund from account balances accumulated prior to January 1, 1985. The
Plan further provides the opportunity for all participants to contribute up
to 10% of pay on a tax-deferred basis with the Bank matching 50% of the first
6% of that contribution. Both the Bank's profit sharing and matching
contributions are invested in the Corporation's Common Stock to the extent
available. Participants' accounts are at all times 100% vested, and benefits
are payable upon retirement, death, disability, or other termination of
employment.
The Bank made contributions to the Profit Sharing, Savings and Investment
Plan totaling $423,161 for 1994, $406,798 for 1993, and $450,241 for 1992.
INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN
The Bank instituted an Incentive Bonus Plan effective January 1, 1983, for
its senior officers which proveides that the Bank may award bonuses to key
management officers and others in such amount as the Board of Directors, in
its sole discretion, may, from time to time, determine. Bonuses awarded may
be paid in cash or, in certain instances, may be deferred at the
participant's option, until his or her retirement or separation from service.
The maximukm pool of funds available for the Plan is defined as not to exceed
25% of the amount by which the Bank's profits for any award year exceed 8% of
shareholders equity at the beginning of the award year.
The Bank made contributions to the Incentive Bonus Plan totaling $182,500 for
1994, $171,500 for 1993, and $160,000 for 1992.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
The Bank has employment contracts with nineteen of its senior officers, all
vice president level and above. The contracts provide that in the event of
termination of any of these officers' employment without cause, the officer
shall continue to receive his or her salary at the level then existing and
the customary fringe benefits which he or she is then receiving for a period
ending December 31, 1996, except for Messrs. Agan, Corey and Hodgson whose
guaranteed terms end December 31, 1997, and Messrs. Bennett and Updegreaff whose
guaranteed terms end December 31, 1998. The contracts further provide that they
may be extended by the Board of Directors on a year-to-year basis and also may
be terminated for cause upon thirty days' notice.
