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.

(b)  Financial information about industry segments

The  Corporation  and  the  Bank are engaged only in  banking  and  bank-related
businesses.  Exhibits  I  through  V included in  "Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis  of  Financial  Condition and Results of Operation"  ("MD&A")  for  the
Corporation's  Annual  Report to Shareholders for the year  ended  December  31,
1997,  sets  forth  financial information with respect to bank-related  industry
segments.   The MD&A including Exhibits I through V are incorporated  herein  by
reference.

(c)  Narrative description of business

                                    Business


The  Bank  is  a  New  York State chartered, independent commercial  bank  which
engages in full-service commercial and consumer banking and trust business.  The
Bank's  services  include accepting time, demand and savings deposits  including
NOW accounts, Super NOW accounts, regular savings accounts, insured money market
accounts, investment certificates, fixed-rate certificates of deposit  and  club
accounts.  Its services also include making secured and unsecured commercial and
consumer   loans,   financing  commercial  transactions   either   directly   or
participating  with  regional  industrial  development   and  community  lending
corporations,  making  commercial, residential and home equity  mortgage  loans,
revolving credit loans with overdraft checking protection, small business  loans
and  student  loans.   Additional  services  include  renting  of  safe  deposit
facilities,  selling uninsured annuity and mutual fund investment products,  and
the use of networked automated teller facilities.

Trust  services provided by the Bank include services as executor, trustee under
wills  and agreements, guardian and custodian and trustee and agent for pension,
profit-sharing and other employee benefit trusts as well as various  investment,
pension, estate planning and employee benefit administrative services.
For  additional  information which focuses on the results of  operation  of  the
Corporation and the Bank, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, incorporated herein by reference.

There  have  been  no material changes in the manner of doing  business  by  the
Corporation or the Bank during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.


                                   Competition


Six  (6) of the Bank's thirteen (13) full-service branches, in addition  to  the
main  office,  are  located in Chemung County. The other seven (7)  full-service
branches  are located in the adjacent counties of Schuyler, Steuben, and  Tioga.
All facilities are located in New York State.

Within  these  market  areas,  the Bank encounters intense  competition  in  its
banking  business from several other financial institutions offering  comparable
products.   These competitors include other commercial banks (both locally-based
independent  banks  and  local offices of regional and major  metropolitan-based
banks),  as  well as stock savings banks  and credit unions.  In  addition,  the
Bank  experiences  competition in marketing some  of  its  services  from  local
operations of insurance companies, brokerage firms and retail financial  service
businesses.


                        Dependence Upon a Single Customer


Neither  the  Corporation nor the Bank is dependent upon  a  single  or  limited
number of customers.

                            Research and Development


Expenditures  for research and development were immaterial for the  years  1997,
1996, and 1995.

                                    Employees


As of December 31, 1997, the Bank employed 281 persons on a full-time equivalent
basis.


(d)  Financial information about foreign and domestic operations and export
     sales


Neither  the  Corporation nor the Bank relies on foreign  sources  of  funds  or
income.

(1)  It is the Corporation's policy that when a past due loan is referred to
legal counsel, or in the case of a commercial loan which becomes 90 days
delinquent, or in the case of consumer, mortgage or home equity loans not g
uaranteed by a government agency which becomes 120 days delinquent, the loan is
placed in nonaccrual and previously accrued interest is reversed unless, because
of collateral or other circumstances, it is deemed to be collectible.  Loans may
also be placed in nonaccrual if management believes such classification is
warranted for other reasons.

engaged in the same or similar industries that exceed 10% of total loans.

(1)  The amount charged to operations and the related balance in the allowance
for loan losses is based upon
     periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio by management.  These
evaluations consider several factors
     including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, loan portfolio
composition, prior loan loss
     experience, growth in the loan portfolio and management's estimation of
future potential losses.

     The risk elements in the various portfolio categories are not considered to
be any greater in 1997 than in prior years.  The net charge-offs to total loans
have averaged 0.24% over the last five years and the highest percentage in any
of those years was 0.36%.
<FN2>
(2)  Daily balances were used to compute average outstanding loan balances.

The allocated portions of the reserve reflect management's estimates of specific
known  risk elements in the respective portfolios.  Among the factors considered
in  allocating  portions of the reserve by loan type are the current  levels  of
past due, nonaccrual and impaired loans.  The unallocated portion of the reserve
represents  risk elements in the loan portfolio that have not been  specifically
identified.   Factors  considered  in  determining  the  appropriate  level   of
unallocated  reserves  include historical loan loss  history,  current  economic
conditions,  and  expectations for loan growth.  The following table  summarizes
the Corporation's allocation of the loan loss reserve for each year in the five-
year period ended December 31, 1997:
