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 the Corporation's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1998, 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, 1998. 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 businesses.

Loans may also be placed in nonaccrual if management believes such classification	is 	warranted for other reasons. </FN> Potential Problem Loans At December 31, 1998, the Corporation has no commercial loans for which payments are presently current but 	the borrowers are currently experiencing severe financial difficulties. Those loans are subject to constant management attention and their classification is reviewed by the Board of Directors at least quarterly.

Other Interest-Bearing Assets At December 31, 1998, the Corporation has no interest-bearing assets other than loans that meet the non-accrual, past due, restructured or potential problem loan criteria. Summary of Loan Experience This table summarizes the Corporation's loan loss experience for each year in the five-year period ended December 31, 1998: 	 	Year Ended December 31, 			1998 	1997 	1996 	1995 	1994 				(In Thousands of Dollars) Balance at beginning of period 		$4,145 	3,975 	3,900 	3,600 	3,500 Charge-offs: Commercial, financial and agricultural 		13 	77 	195 	82 	282 Real estate mortgages 		16 	53 	1 	5 	14 Consumer loans 		552 	640 	538 	286	 422 Home equity		 13 	 - 	 20 	 - 	 - 			594 	770 	754 	373 	718 Recoveries: Commercial, financial and agricultural	 	35 	14 	16 	16 	18 Consumer loans 		 123	 76	 71	 93	 76 			 158	 90	 87 	 109	 94 Net charge-offs 		436 	680 	667 	264 	624 Allowance of acquired bank at time of acquisition 		- 	- 	- 	- 	100 Additions charged to 	 operations (1)		 800 	 850	 742	 564	 624 Balance at end of period 		$4,509	 4,145 	3,975 	3,900 	3,600 Ratio of net charge-offs during period to average loans outstanding (2) 		 .14%	 .23%	 .24%	 .11%	 .28% <FN> <FN1> (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 1998 than in 	prior years. The net charge-offs to total loans have averaged 0.20% over the last five years and the 	highest 	percentage in any of those years was 0.28%. <FN2> (2)	Daily balances were used to compute average outstanding loan balances. </FN> 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, non-accrual 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 econmic 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, 1998: 						Amount (in thousands) and Percent of 						 Loans by Category to Total Loans Balance at end of Period Applicable to: 	1998 	% 	1997 	% 	1996 	%	 1995 	%	 1994 	% Domestic: 	$3,197	100.0	2,588	100.0	2,445	100.0	2,030	100.0	2,857	100.0 Commercial, financial and agricultural 	2,081 	34.6	1,402 	34.5	1,472 	32.3	1,042 	33.0	2,108 	31.0 Commercial mortgages 	21 	1.5 	132 	2.0 	249 	3.2 	305 	4.1 	282 	5.0 Residential mortgages 	88 	25.7 	31 	24.8 	21 	24.5 	16	 23.6 	16 	23.6 Consumer loans 	1,007 	38.3	1,023 	38.7 	703	 40.0 	667 	39.3 	451 	40.4 Unallocated:	 1,312 	N/A 	1,557	 N/A 	1,530	 N/A	 1,870	 N/A	 743	 N/A Total 	$4,509	100.0	4,145	100.0	3,975	100.0	3,900	100.0	3,6 00	100.0 Deposits The average daily amounts of deposits and rates paid on such deposits is summarized for the periods indicated in the following table: Year Ended December 31, 1998 1997 1996 		Amount 	Rate 	Amount 	Rate 	Amount Rate 				(In Thousands of Dollars) Noninterest-bearing demand deposits 	$ 89,957 	- % 	 84,332 	- % 79,901 	- % Interest-bearing demand deposits 	43,456 	1.41 	44,991 	1.50 	44,261 	1.63 Savings deposits 	143,065 	3.00 	135,146 	2.88 	139,219 	2.83 Time deposits 	 190,684 	5.43 	185,686 	5.49 	177,537 	5.42 		$ 467,162 450,155 	440,918 Scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit at December 31, 1998 are summarized as follows: 					Time Certificates 					 of Deposits 				 (In Thousands of Dollars) 	 1999 				$118,730 	 2000			 	41,142 	 2001 				11,274 	 2002 				3,505 	 2003 				2,529 2004 and thereafter				 261 					$177,441 Maturities of certificates of deposit $100,000 or more outstanding at December 31, 1998 are summarized as follows: 					Time Certificates 					 of Deposits 			 	(In Thousands of Dollars 3 months or less			 	$20,304 Over 3 through 12 months 				7,466 Over 12 months 				4,867 	There were no other time deposits of $100,000 or more.
