Community Bank System, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
March 31, 2002
Note A -- Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2002.
On November 16, 2001, the Company acquired 36 branches from FleetBoston
Financial Corporation with $470 million in deposits and $177 million in loans.
The branches are located in Southwestern and Finger Lakes Regions of New York.
The results of the 36 branch operations have been included in the consolidated
financial statements since that date.
On May 11, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of the $648-million-asset
First Liberty Bank Corp. ("First Liberty"). Pursuant to the terms of the merger,
each share of First Liberty stock was exchanged for .56 shares of the Company's
common stock, which amounted to approximately 3.6 million shares. The merger
constituted a tax-free reorganization and has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16. Accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements for the periods presented have been restated
to include the combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows
of the Company and First Liberty.
On January 26, 2001, the Company acquired the $111-million-asset Citizens
National Bank of Malone, an eighty-year old commercial bank with five branches
throughout Franklin and St. Lawrence counties in New York State. The Company
issued 952,000 shares of its common stock to the former shareholders at a cost
of $26.50 per share. All of the 648,100 shares held in the Company's treasury
were issued in this transaction.
During the first quarter of 2002, the Company made a contribution of $5.0
million to its defined benefit pension plan. At March 31, 2002, an updated
actuarial valuation was performed which showed that plan assets exceeded the
accumulated benefit obligation. As a result, the additional minimum pension
liability of $5.016 million, which was recorded at December 31, 2001 as a charge
to shareholders' equity, net of tax, was reversed.
Note B -- Significant Accounting Pronouncements
Reserve for Loan Losses
The reserve for loan losses reflects management's best estimate of probable loan
losses in the Company's loan portfolio, considering evaluations of individual
credits and concentrations of credit risk, changes in the quality of the credit
portfolio, levels of nonaccrual loans, current economic conditions, changes in
the size and character of the credit risks and other pertinent factors. The
reserve is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by net
charge-offs. A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and
events, if it is probable that the Bank will not be able to collect the
scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is
generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the historical effective interest rate, except that all collateral-dependent
loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.
8
New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to
be disposed of, including long-term customer relationships of a financial
institution, such as core deposit intangibles. This Statement supersedes SFAS
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of," however, this Statement retains the fundamental
provisions of Statement 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the
impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. Effective January 1, 2002, the
Company adopted this pronouncement which had no impact on the financial
condition or results of operations for the quarter ending March 31, 2002.
Note C -- Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted
average shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of the assumed
exercise of stock options during the year. The following is a reconciliation of
basic to diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2002
and 2001.

Diluted EPS $5,749 11,440 $0.50
=============================================================================================
Note D -- Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which
addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other
intangibles assets and supercedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets". The
statement requires that the Company subject goodwill and other intangible assets
to an annual impairment analysis to assess the need to write down the balances
and recognize an impairment loss. In addition, amortization of goodwill will no
longer be recorded upon adoption of this statement. Core deposit intangibles,
net and other intangibles (primarily branch goodwill), net related to branch
acquisitions will continue to be amortized. The adoption of this pronouncement
resulted in a reduction in amortization expense of $325,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2002.

SFAS No. 142 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 are as follows:

There were no changes in the gross carrying value of goodwill for the quarter
ended March 31, 2002. As of March 31, 2002, the Company has not tested the
goodwill for impairment. The analysis will be completed by June 30, 2002, and
any necessary adjustments will be reflected in the consolidated financial
statements.

====================
** The FASB is expected to issue an exposure draft in the second quarter of
2002 regarding the reconsideration of certain provisions of SFAS No. 72,
"Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions."
Specifically, if a Company separately identified a core deposit intangible
asset from "Statement 72 goodwill," the FASB may consider this goodwill
under SFAS No. 142. Thus, the Company would cease amortization of the
"Statement 72 goodwill." On an annual basis, the resulting reduction in
amortization would be $5.548 million or $3.370 million after-tax (assuming
a 39.3% marginal tax rate.) Based on average shares outstanding for first
quarter 2002, the annual impact on earnings per share (diluted) would be
an increase of $0.26.

Results of Operations
Net income for first quarter 2002 was $7.4 million, an increase of 29% from the
same period last year and an all-time high for the Company. Earnings per share
(diluted) for the quarter rose 14% to $0.57, reflecting an increase in average
shares outstanding of 14%. The Company issued an additional 952,000 common
shares in connection with its January 2001 whole-bank purchase and 1.309 million
in fourth quarter 2001 to support the mid-November purchase of 36 branches in
Western New York from FleetBoston Financial (NYSE: FBF).
Operating earnings, which exclude acquisition and unusual expenses and net
securities transactions, were $7.8 million for first quarter 2002, up 25% from
the same period in the prior year. These costs, which totaled $591,000 in the
first quarter of this year versus $851,000 for the comparable 2001 quarter, were
associated with the Company's three acquisitions in January, May, and November
of last year, which collectively added $1.2 billion in assets and increased its
branch network by 70% to 119 locations. Operating earnings per share (diluted)
were $0.60, an increase of $0.06 or 11.1%.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which eliminated the requirement to regularly amortize
approximately $19.8 million in goodwill related to certain of its acquisitions.
Annual amortization expense was thus reduced by approximately $1.3 million;
$.015 of the increase in earnings per share (diluted) this quarter reflects the
impact of this adoption.
Cash operating earnings for first quarter 2002 were $9.7 million, an increase of
35% from the same period last year and an all-time high for the Company. Cash
operating earnings additionally excludes intangible amortization expense, a
non-cash item which an increasing number of analysts believes obscures the
underlying value of a company's earnings stream. Cash operating earnings per
share (diluted) for the quarter were $0.74, up 17% from the prior year's level
of $0.63. This quarter's cash operating earnings per share also exceeded by 10%
the third quarter 2001 high of the last two years of $0.67.
The primary reasons for improved first quarter earnings compared to the same
period last year are a 30% increase in net interest income, caused by both
better margins and expanded earning assets, and a 28% rise in noninterest
income. The resulting higher operating income more than offset greater overhead
and intangible amortization due to the acquisition of the former FleetBoston
branches in mid-November 2001. Earnings increased over fourth quarter 2001
partially for the same reasons, though net interest and noninterest income were
up a lesser 13% and 12%, respectively. In addition, loan loss provision expense
was down by 45% and the effective tax rate was reduced by two percentage points.
First Quarter Performance Highlights
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for first quarter 2002 rose to $30.2 million, 30% over the
same period last year. The improvement reflects the contribution of the former
FleetBoston branches, which added $164 million in commercial and consumer loans
and $503 million in low-cost core deposits as of March 31. Core deposits in
these branches have increased over 5% since acquisition date. Results also
benefited from a full quarter's worth of $105 million in earning assets from the
January 26, 2001 purchase of the Citizens National Bank of Malone. Even more
important, the net interest margin climbed to 4.52%, up 58 basis points from the
first quarter 2001 level of 3.94%. In response to continued rapid Federal
Reserve rate reductions, the margin fell further in 2001 to a low point in the
second quarter of 3.78%, meaning that it has now widened by 74 basis points
since then.
o The rise in margin reflects a slower decrease in earning asset yields than
in the cost of funds. Approximately 33% of earning assets reprice within
one year versus 62% of interest-bearing liabilities (excluding interest
checking). Maturing certificates of deposit
22
continued to reprice downward by over 200 basis points on average during
the quarter, consistent with lower financial market interest rates. The
rate on total borrowings was reduced by 47 basis points compared to fourth
quarter 2001.
o Earning assets were 14% higher than one year earlier, comprised of $152
million more in loans and $217 million more in securities. Over the last
90 days, loans decreased by .5% or $8.5 million while investments rose 14%
or $158 million. The latter increase, which was funded by short-term
borrowings, reflected attractive buying opportunities both as to gross
yield and as a spread over borrowings, and represents an earnings strategy
intended to supplement the present shortfall in loan growth.
o Growth in first quarter average earning assets of $388 million compared to
one year earlier was largely funded by an increase in average retail and
commercial deposits of $585 million, a planned decrease in more volatile
public funds deposits of $79 million, and a decrease in average borrowings
of $105 million. Total borrowings as a percent of earning assets ended the
quarter at 17% versus 12% at year end, following the closing of the
FleetBoston transaction, and 20% as of March 31, 2001.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income (excluding securities transactions) reached $7.7 million in
the first quarter, an increase of $1.7 million or 28% from one year earlier. It
rose nearly 12% from the fourth quarter 2001 level, during which the 36 acquired
FleetBoston branches were contributing for only half the period.
Financial services revenues at $3.6 million were $653,000 higher (up nearly 22%)
compared to both the first quarter and fourth quarter of 2001. The primary
source of improvement was commissions from the sale of investment products
through the Company's broker-dealer, Community Investment Services, Inc. (CISI).
The number of financial consultants has been steadily climbing and a new branch
referral program is showing good signs of success; as a result, revenues were
nearly 150% higher than in first quarter 2001 and over 100% higher than in the
fourth quarter. Greater contribution from the Company's other financial services
providers varied when compared to the same quarter last year or the linked
quarter.
o Pension administration and consulting fees from the Company's Benefit
Plans Administrative Services subsidiary were 24% higher than in first
quarter 2001, owing to substantial new business booked in the latter half
of the year; first quarter revenues were essentially flat compared to
fourth quarter 2001.
o Revenues from the Bank's personal trust department were virtually
unchanged from last year's first and fourth quarters, despite the
challenging equity markets. Its business is diversified by a mix of equity
and fixed income assets under management, estate settlement services,
securities custody, and other fiduciary activities.
o Fees from the Company's investment management subsidiary, Elias Asset
Management (EAM), were off 26% and 5% for the comparable and linked
quarters, respectively. Because of its primary focus on management of
equity investments, EAM's revenues are more affected by the currently
volatile equity markets than the Bank's trust department.
o And commissions from the sale of insurance products, which have been a
relatively small contributor with the exception of the annual dividend
from the Company's creditor life underwriter in the third quarter of each
year, rose 85% from one year earlier and 63% over the linked quarter. This
reflects CISI's expanded sale of fixed income annuity products, which have
gained in popularity as an investment vehicle in the present equity market
environment.
23
Financial services revenues comprised 47% of total noninterest income for the
quarter versus 50% one year earlier. This decrease was caused by the unusually
large 34% increase in general banking fees, primarily from the Company's 2001
FleetBoston branch acquisition, which overshadowed the still strong 22% increase
in financial services revenues.
General banking revenues were $4.1 million for the quarter, up 34% over the same
period last year because of the contribution of the acquired FleetBoston
branches, largely in deposit service charges and overdraft fees. Other
components of banking fees and their related change compared to first quarter
2001 are as follows:
o Electronic banking revenues nearly doubled, partially due to a system
change in the recognition of merchant discount fees.
o Mortgage banking fees were up 50% due to heavy refinancing activity during
2001. The serviced loan portfolio ended the quarter at $114 million, a 24%
increase over one year earlier.
o General commissions were unchanged for the period. They were down when
adjusted for a prior period processing error.
o Excluding the two system-related items mentioned above, first quarter
general revenues rose 24% compared to the same quarter last year.
Compared to fourth quarter 2001, general banking revenues rose approximately 7%,
but were off 5% after elimination of the system differences. The primary reasons
for the decrease reflect waiving of certain overdraft fees during the initial
conversion of acquired customer accounts and lower mortgage banking fees due to
placement of secondary market eligible mortgages in the Bank's loan portfolio as
opposed to the prior historical practice of selling them.
The ratio of noninterest income to operating income was 18.3% for the quarter,
down 1.3 and 1.6 percentage points from the first and fourth quarters of last
year, respectively. In part, the decreases reflect the unusually large increases
(32% and 14% from first quarter and fourth quarter 2001, respectively) in net
interest income (FTE) caused by higher earning assets and improved margins. In
addition, the added revenues from cross selling financial services to the 2001
acquired customer base have not yet been fully realized.
Loans
Loans ended the first quarter at $1.724 billion, up $152 million or 9.6% from
March 31, 2001. The improvement reflects the contribution of the acquired
FleetBoston branch loans, without which outstandings would have decreased by
approximately $13 million or 0.8%. Compared to December 31, 2001, loans were off
$8.5 million or 0.5%.
o Commercial loans decreased $6 million during the last 90 days. General
paydowns more than offset increased automobile dealer floor plan and
agricultural borrowings. With the FleetBoston acquisition conversion now
complete and added personnel in place in the First Liberty and former
FleetBoston branch markets, new business calling efforts have been
accelerated. Commercial loan outstandings at quarter end were $638 million
(37% of total loans outstanding) compared to $604 million twelve months
earlier, an increase of $34 million or 6%.
o Consumer direct loans decreased approximately $19 million during the
quarter. Demand continues to be insufficient to offset regular repayments.
The Company's seasonal marketing program is now underway, with 120,000
mailers to Bank customers sent during the latter part of March through
mid-April, and branch personnel anticipate favorable customer response.
Consumer direct loans ended the quarter at $377 million (22% of total
loans outstanding), up $108 million or 40% since March 31, 2001.
24
o Consumer indirect loans, largely borrowing originated in automobile dealer
showrooms, rose $5 million during the first quarter. New originating
dealers have been added in the Company's Pennsylvania franchise, and
cut-rate new car financing by national captives has brought in additional
customer traffic for late-model, used vehicles. Overall, used vehicles
constitute 76% of CBU's indirect loans outstanding. Indirect loans at
quarter end were $253 million (15% of total loans outstanding), an
increase of $2 million or .7% from twelve months earlier.
o Consumer mortgages rose $12 million over the last 90 days, the largest
quarterly increase in outstandings in 18 months. This rise largely
reflects the Company's strategy, implemented during fourth quarter 2001 to
book all secondary-market-eligible loans in portfolio, made possible
because of the increase in core deposit funding from the FleetBoston
branch acquisition. Competitors have recently aggressively undercut the
pricing on our no-closing-cost mortgage product, resulting in reduced
growth from that product in our bank compared to last year. Over the last
twelve months, consumer mortgages have increased $7 million or 1.7% to
$456 million (26% of total loans outstanding).
Asset Quality
Asset quality as of March 31, 2002 improved from one year ago. Loan loss
reserves were increased by $3.1 million or 15% to $24 million, while
nonperforming loans (nonaccruals plus 90 days past due) were down $817,000 or 7%
to $11.7 million. Regular bottom-up review of the portfolio necessitated only a
slight increase in the loan loss reserve during the first quarter, though
nonperformers have risen $2.6 million.
o As a percent of loans outstanding, nonperformers were .68% versus .80% one
year earlier. Coverage of the reserve over nonperformers was 205%,
compared to 167% coverage at March 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, the
Company's coverage of 263% exceeded the peer median of 201%; also better
than peers was the nonperforming loan/outstandings ratio, which was 0.53%
at that time versus the median of 0.94%. The change in nonperforming loan
ratio and reserve coverage since year end reflects a single $3.2 million
commercial loan becoming nonaccruing. A specific allocation within the
loan loss reserve has been established, and its adequacy is being
monitored on a regular basis.
o Net charge-offs for the first quarter were $1.4 million, 14% higher than
$1.2 million recognized one year earlier. They remain in the norm of
$1.3-$1.5 million for the middle quarters of 2001, well below $2.5 million
taken in the fourth quarter of the year. As a percent of average loans
outstanding, net charge-offs were virtually unchanged from one year
earlier at 0.33%. Installment loan net charge-offs were 0.83% of related
average outstandings, the lowest they have been since third quarter 2000.
Commercial net charge-offs were 0.32% of related outstandings; while
slightly higher than 0.25% one year ago, the ratio is less than half that
of the fourth quarter of 2001. Combined mortgage and home equity net
charge-offs reflected a net recovery this quarter compared to 0.04% of
related outstandings for all of 2001. Loan loss provision expense covered
net charge-offs by 108% as it did in first quarter 2001.
o Delinquent loans as a percent of total outstandings decreased 30 basis
points during the last 90 days to 1.73%. This compares to an abnormally
low level of 1.29% one year earlier; with that exception, the range since
year-end 2000 has been 1.84%-1.96%.
Overhead and Efficiency
The Company's efficiency ratio, which excludes intangible amortization, net
securities gains/losses, acquisition costs, and unusual expenses, was 56.3% for
first quarter 2002, a 1.0 percentage-point improvement from the comparable 2001
quarter and a 1.7 percentage-point increase from fourth quarter 2001.
25
o These results reflect the full impact of the combined $3.2 million in
First Liberty cost savings implemented in mid-second quarter 2001 and the
benefit of streamlining our operations functions by eliminating duplicate
loan and deposit processing units in Canton and Olean, NY. However,
because of the surge in volumes being processed as a result of the former
FleetBoston branches, part-time and overtime costs in these functions rose
from mid-November through March, simultaneous with higher full-time
staffing. Personnel have gained valuable experience in handling this
expanded work, guided by carefully selected consultants who have
redesigned workflows and installed efficient procedures. This latter
project was substantially completed by March 31, with nearly a full
quarter's benefit of their work expected in second quarter 2002.
o The first quarter efficiency ratio also includes the full-quarter impact
of all acquired FleetBoston branch employees and related equipment,
occupancy, supplies, and other associated expenses, compared to fourth
quarter 2001 being affected beginning in mid-November. Data processing
expense also rose due to an annual contractual increase as well as a
negotiated deferral of extra charges due to 2001's acquisitions until this
time.
o Relative stability in the efficiency ratio for the time being was
maintained because of increased noninterest income, rising margins, and
higher earning assets from acquisitions and investment leverage
strategies, all of which drove operating income up by 11.8% this quarter
versus the fourth quarter in 2001.
o Acquisition and unusual expenses, which are excluded from the efficiency
ratio calculation, were $591,000 in the first quarter, down $260,000 from
the same period last year (which included Citizens National Bank
acquisition costs) and $1.5 million less than in the fourth quarter
(mostly FleetBoston acquisition-related expenses). The largest items
comprising this quarter's non-recurring costs include $97,000 in severance
expense for First Liberty; $347,000 in professional and consulting fees
for our operations centers; and $61,000 in check replacement costs for
former FleetBoston customers. Little additional acquisition and unusual
costs related to 2001's acquisitions is expected this year.
o The efficiency ratios for first quarter 2002 and the linked quarter have
also been adjusted for various fluctuations caused by system or other
factors that misrepresent the common definition of productivity. Expenses
were adjusted by +$61,000 and -$215,000, respectively, while fee income
was adjusted by -$392,000 and +$287,000, respectively.
Liquidity
Due to the potential for unexpected fluctuations in deposits and loans, active
management of the Company's liquidity is critical. In order to respond to these
circumstances, adequate sources of both on- and off-balance sheet funding are in
place.
CBSI's primary approach to measuring liquidity is known as the Basic
Surplus/Deficit model. It is used to calculate liquidity over two time periods:
first, the relationship within 30 days between liquid assets and short-term
liabilities which are vulnerable to nonreplacement; and second, a projection of
subsequent cash availability over an additional 60 days. The minimum policy
level of liquidity under the Basic Surplus/Deficit approach is 7.5% of total
assets for both the 30 and 90-day time horizons. As of March 31, 2001, this
ratio was 16.5% and 15.8%, respectively, excluding the Company's capacity to
borrow additional funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse
changes in market rates or prices. The Company's primary market risk exposure is
interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk, over
both a short-term tactical and longer-term strategic time horizon, is an
important component of the Company's asset/liability management process, which
is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors and reviewed and
approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying
out the asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Management
Committee (ALCO). In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies
impacting the Company's asset/liability management activities based upon
estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits, and overall market interest
rate-related level and trends.
As the Company does not believe it is possible to reliably predict future
interest rate movements, it has maintained an appropriate process and set of
measurement tools which enable it to identify and quantify sources of interest
rate risk in varying environments. The primary tool used by the Company in
managing interest rate risk is income simulation. The analysis begins by
measuring the impact of differences in maturity and repricing all balance sheet
positions. Such work is further augmented by adjusting for prepayment and
embedded option risk found naturally in certain asset and liability classes.
Finally, balance sheet growth and funding expectations are added to the analysis
in order to reflect the strategic initiatives set forth by the Company.
Changes in net interest income are reviewed after subjecting the balance sheet
to an array of Treasury yield curve possibilities.
The following reflects the Company's one-year net interest income sensitivity
based on approximate asset and liability levels on March 31, 2002, assuming no
growth in the balance sheet, and assuming a 200 basis point instantaneous upward
rate shock in the prime rate, federal funds rate and the entire Treasury yield
curve and a similar 150 basis point instantaneous downward rate shock.
Regulatory Model
Rate Change Net Interest Income Net Interest Income
In Basis Points Dollar Change During First 12 Months Percent Change from Flat Rates
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+200 bp ($1.3 million) (1.0%)
-150 bp ($2.6 million) (2.0%)
Given the steepness in slope of the treasury yield curve as of March 31, 2002, a
second group of simulations was performed based on what the Company believes to
be conservative levels of balance sheet growth. These levels include no growth
in the Company's securities portfolio, flat loan levels until mid-year, and low
single digit loan growth thereafter. Under this set of assumptions, were the
slope of the yield curve to change, holding short rates constant while
flattening long-term rates over the next 12 months, the net interest margin is
projected to narrow modestly (simulation B). However, if short term rates were
to increase 200 basis points over the next 12 months (holding long-term rates
constant), margins are projected to be relatively unchanged (simulation A).
Management Model

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A) Increasing Short Term Rates ($445,000) (.3%)
B) Reducing Longer Term Rates ($4.0 million) (3.1%)
The preceding interest rate risk analysis does not represent a Company forecast
and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results.
These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including: the
nature and timing of interest rate levels
36
(including yield curve shape), prepayments on loans and securities, deposit
decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement
of asset and liability cash flows, and others. While the assumptions are
developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company
cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions,
including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.
Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might
take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates.
