AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at March 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts for consistency in reporting. (2) LOANS Impaired loans were $7.5 million and $11.4 million at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Included in these amounts are $1.8 million and $9.8 million of impaired loans for which the related allowance for loan losses is $.3 million and $1.6 million at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition, included in the total impaired loans is $5.7 million and $3.6 million of impaired loans that, as a result of the adequacy of collateral values and cash flow analysis do not have a specific impairment reserve at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The average recorded investments in impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $7.2 million and $10.7 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company recognized interest income on those impaired loans of $137 thousand and $133 thousand, respectively using the cash basis method of income recognition. 8 (3) SECURITIES The following table sets forth securities available for sale as of March 31, 1997: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Unrealized Fair Amortized ---------------- (In Thousands) Cost Gains Losses Value ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debt securities: U.S. Government obligations $ 39,059 5 243 38,821 U.S. Government agencies 114,992 -- 3,807 111,185 Corporate and other 33,689 35 67 33,657 Mortgage-backed securities 778,944 4,173 1,651 781,466 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total debt securities 966,684 4,213 5,768 965,129 Equity securities: Common 13 -- -- 13 Preferred 14,112 54 51 14,115 Federal Home Loan Bank 44,026 -- -- 44,026 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total equity securities 58,151 54 51 58,154 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- $1,024,835 4,267 5,819 1,023,283 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table sets forth securities held to maturity as of March 31, 1997: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Unrealized Fair Amortized ---------------- (In Thousands) Cost Gains Losses Value ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debt securities: U.S. Government obligations $ 14,978 11 24 14,965 U.S. Government agencies 135,470 -- 7,927 127,543 State and municipal 65,345 994 91 66,248 Corporate and other 488 6 -- 494 Mortgage-backed securities 1,433,454 3,999 28,987 1,408,466 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total debt securities 1,649,735 5,010 37,029 1,617,716 Unamortized holding loss on securities transferred (36,493) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $1,613,242 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In view of a regulatory policy revision in 1994, the Company transferred securities with a fair value of $1.265 billion and a net unrealized holding loss of $71.6 million at date of transfer from available for sale to held to maturity. At March 31, 1997, the remaining unamortized loss on US Government agency securities was $8,123,000 and mortgage-backed securities was $28,370,000. The difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of both the available for sale and the held to maturity categories of securities represents the change in value related to interest rate fluctuations which occurred following the purchase of these securities. These differences will disappear as the assets prepay or mature and are considered to be temporary in nature. There is minimal credit risk associated with the portfolio given its secured nature. Approximately one-third of the total portfolio is available for sale, and therefore, a relatively instantaneous source of liquidity. The held to maturity portfolio also provides ongoing liquidity given the amortizing nature of the securities. The major uncertainty relative to this portfolio which is predominantly mortgage-backed securities, is 9 prepayment risk. Accelerating or decelerating prepayments affect the cash flows and hence the yield on these securities. These factors are taken into consideration when the assets are acquired and are periodically monitored. (4) CAPITAL TRUST SECURITIES In February 1997, the Company, through a subsidiary Trust formed for the sole purpose of issuing capital securities, issued $60,000,000, 9.25% Capital Securities due February 1, 2027. Proceeds of this issue will primarily be used to fund the 1,400,000 common share repurchase announced in January 1997. In October of 1996 the Federal Reserve Board approved Tier I capital treatment for this type of capital securities which provides the Company with a method of funding Tier I capital that is tax deductible. The proceeds to the Trust are lent to the holding company as long-term junior subordinated debentures that are subordinated to all holding company debt but senior to all common stock. The securities may be called at a premium, in whole or in part, on or after February 1, 2007 and provisions are included which provide for the temporary deferral of interest payments for a period of up to five years. (5) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY In January 1997, the Company completed its previously announced Series "B" Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock redemption, which resulted in the redemption of 35,514 shares at a cost of $.924 million and the remaining 2,306,538 shares being converted to 1,799,096 shares of Common Stock issued from treasury stock. In 1997, the Company also repurchased 798,300 shares of Common Stock at a cost of $35.528 million. In addition, the Company intends to continue to acquire up to an additional 601,700 common shares, as market conditions permit. (6) OTHER ACCOUNTING ISSUES Effective January 1, 1997 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities based on a consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. It distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. In December 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) deferred for one year the effective date of SFAS No. 125 as it relates to transfers of financial assets and secured borrowings and collateral. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. All prior period EPS will be restated after the effective date of this statement. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 128 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation. 10 ONBANCorp, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW ONBANCorp, Inc.'s ("ONBANCorp" or "the Company") results of operations are dependent upon the results of operations of its wholly owned subsidiary banks: OnBank & Trust Co.and Franklin First Savings Bank ("the Banks"). On January 1, 1997 OnBank & Trust Co. and OnBank merged, thereby creating a single banking entity in New York State. First quarter net income was $12.1 million compared to $11.6 million for the 1996 first quarter. Fully diluted net income per common share was $.87 compared to $.74 for the 1996 first quarter. Return on Average Equity (ROE) was 13.7% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 12.0% for the respective prior year period. Return on Average Assets (ROA) was .93% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to .85% for the respective prior year period. Book value per common share was $24.96 at March 31, 1997, $24.82 at December 31, 1996, and $24.29 at March 31, 1996. A regular dividend of $.34 per common share was declared for the first quarter of 1997 and paid on April 1, 1997. NET INTEREST INCOME Increasing core business activity has been a significant influence in year over year performance improvements. During the one year period ended March 31, 1997, commercial loans have increased by $80 million or 14% to $663 million and consumer loans increased by $166 million or 28% to $768 million. During the last year the residential mortgage loan portfolio has decreased by $67 million to $1,056 million despite the fact that $173 million new loans were originated. To manage overall interest rate risk in a relatively low yield market rate environment, $111 million of residential mortgage loans were securitized or sold, thereby, moderating loan portfolio growth. Total assets increased slightly by $50 million or 1% to $5.5 billion. Net interest income was $38.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, compared to the $37.9 million recorded in the respective prior year period. Average loans of $2.444 billion for the first three months of 1997 were $150 million or 7% improved over the first three months of 1996 as a result of the Company's continuing focus on expanding loan generation. The yield on these average loans declined by 4 basis points to 8.46% for the first three months of 1997 compared to the 8.50% for the prior year period. The volume of average securities for the first three months of 1997 declined to $2.528 billion or by $265 million compared to the prior year period. The yield on these securities increased by 5 basis points to 6.58% as a combined result of reinvestment and the scheduled repricing of certain adjustable-rate securities. Average interest earning assets of $5.013 billion were $150 million less for the first three months of 1997 than for the first three months of 1996 due to the decline in securities. The yield on total earning assets increased by 10 basis points to 7.49% for the three months of 1997 compared to the first three months of 1996 reflecting the increased proportion of loans to overall earning assets. The Company intends to continue its efforts to increase its core lending business as a percentage of overall earning assets. The average balance of savings deposits decreased by $82 million to $680 million for the first three months of 1997 compared to the prior year period. The cost of these deposits also decreased by 14 basis points to 2.54% for the first three months of 1997 compared to the prior year period. Average time deposits increased $118 million to $2.319 billion for the first three months of 1997 compared to the first three months of 1996. The costs of these deposits decreased by 10 basis points to 5.54% for the first three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the prior year period. The increase in time deposits was the 11 result of increases in retail and municipal certificates of deposit being greater than the decrease in retail brokered certificates of deposit. Average interest bearing transaction accounts (money market, NOW and escrow deposits) increased $6 million to $538 million and the cost increased 41 basis points to 2.69% when comparing the first three months of 1997 to the first three months of 1996. Average total interest bearing deposits increased by $42 million to $3.538 billion for the first three months of 1997 compared to the first three months of 1996. Total average borrowings (including repurchase agreements) of $.975 billion for the first three months of 1997 are $219 million or 18% less than the $1.195 billion for the first three months of 1996 reflecting the Company's strategy to reduce borrowings. The essentially flat slope of the yield curve in 1996 provided the opportunity for extending liabilities and thereby helping to protect against rising interest rates resulting in a 10 basis point increase in the overall borrowing cost, however, the offset is that the Company's net interest income will not benefit as much from declining interest rates. As a result of the decreased volume of higher cost borrowings, the cost of total interest bearing liabilities remained at 4.88% for the first three months of 1997 and 1996. The effect of the increase in yield on earning assets of 10 basis points resulted in the net interest spread increasing from 2.51% to 2.61% for the first three months of 1997 compared to the first three months of 1996. The effects of average interest bearing liabilities decreasing by more than interest earning assets resulted in the net interest margin, which is affected by the relative average balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, increasing by 15 basis points to 3.10% for the first three months of 1997 compared to the first three months of 1996. Contributing to this improvement was the increase of $34 million in average non-interest bearing deposits. The Banks intend to continue to emphasize increasing the balances in non-interest bearing deposits. 12 This table sets forth for the three months ended March 31, the average daily balances of the Company's major asset and liability items and the interest earned or paid thereon expresed in dollars and weighted average rates: - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1997 1996 Average Yield\ Average Yield (Dollars in Thousands) Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interst earning assets(1) Loans $2,444,461 51,011 8.46% 2,294,739 48,478 8.50% Securities 2,528,249 40,990 6.58% 2,793,364 45,370 6.53% Federal funds sold and other 40,416 627 6.29% 74,774 979 5.27% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest earning assets 5,013,126 92,628 7.49% 5,162,877 94,827 7.39% Non-interest earning assets 297,604 281,110 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets $5,310,730 5,443,987 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest bearing liabilities Savings deposits 680,430 4,257 2.54% 762,900 5,090 2.68% Time deposits 2,319,470 31,708 5.54% 2,201,648 30,851 5.64% Money market accounts, NOW accounts, and escrow deposits 538,425 3,572 2.69% 532,263 3,021 2.28% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Deposits 3,538,325 39,537 4.53% 3,496,811 38,962 4.48% Repurchase agreements 314,412 4,786 6.17% 354,004 5,543 6.30% Other borrowings 660,906 10,018 6.15% 840,692 12,440 5.95% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest bearing liabilities 4,513,643 54,341 4.88% 4,691,507 56,945 4.88% Non-interest bearing depositis 334,333 300,456 Non-interest bearing liabilities 65,670 62,976 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities 4,913,646 5,054,939 Capital trust securities 37,333 Shareholders' equity 359,751 389,048 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $5,310,730 5,443,987 Net interest income $ 38,287 37,882 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest rate spread 2.61% 2.51% Net interest margin(2) 3.10% 2.95% Total interest earning assets to total interest bearing liabilities 1.11X 1.10X Average equity to average assets 6.77% 7.15% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Nonaccruing loans, which are immaterial, have been included in interest earning assets.

Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance takes into consideration the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations which may affect the borrower's ability to repay, overall portfolio quality, and current and prospective economic conditions. Non-performing loans plus other real estate owned represented .59% of total assets at March 31, 1997. The Company's provision for loan losses of $1.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 decreased from the $2.0 million in the prior year period. The coverage ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans increased from 140% at December 31, 1996 to 142% at March 31, 1997. The allowance as a percent of gross loans was 1.6% at March 31, 1997. The ratio of delinquent loans as a percentage of gross loans was 1.1% at March 31, 1997. Loan quality remains strong at ONBANCorp. 14 The following table sets forth the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the period indicated: December 31, March 31, -------------------------------------------------- (Dollars in Thousands) 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 -

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Potential problem loans at March 31, 1997 amounted to $18.8 million compared with $20.9 million at March 31, 1996. "Potential problem loans" are defined as loans which are not included with past due and non-accrual loans discussed above, but about which management, through normal internal credit review procedures, has information about possible credit problems which may result in the borrower's inability to comply with the present loan repayment terms. There have been no loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, or substandard that are not included above or which caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with repayment terms. In addition, there were no material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were classified as non-performing. 16 OTHER OPERATING INCOME Other operating income, which is generated by mortgage banking activities, service charges, security transactions and miscellaneous other sources, increased by $1.3 million to $9.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the prior year period. Mortgage banking income increased by $.3 million to $1.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the prior year period. The increase was due to slower prepayments on serviced mortgages and increased gains on mortgages sold. The volume of loans serviced for others decreased from $1.130 billion at March 31, 1996 to $1.090 billion at March 31, 1997. Service charges increased $.8 million or 19% to $5.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the prior year period. Increasing volumes of commercial banking business and consumer electronic banking services are primarily responsible for these increases. The Company intends to continue to emphasize the growth of "core" commercial banking in the form of deposit growth and electronic fee generated business. Gains on the sale of securities increased by $.2 million to $2.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the prior year period. Continuing to increase other operating income is a strategic goal of the Company. The primary sources of the increases are targeted in the retail and commercial banking areas, along with electronic banking. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES First quarter operating expenses increased $.7 million to $27.0 million. Excluding the $.9 million capital trust securities dividend, operating expenses actually declined as a result of declines salaries and benfits and deposit insuance premiums. Excluding the capital trust securities dividend, an efficiency ratio of 56.7% for the first three months of 1997 reflects ongoing control of other operating expenses. DIVIDENDS Payments of dividends by ONBANCorp on its common stock is subject to various regulatory and tax restrictions. During the three month period ended March 31, 1997, the Company declared dividends of $.34 per common share, amounting to $4.7 million. These dividends were paid in April 1997 to appropriate shareholders of record. LIQUIDITY ONBANCorp's liquidity should be sufficient to meet normal transaction requirements and flexible enough to take advantage of market opportunities and to react to other liquidity needs. Net cash used by operating activities amounted to $2 million for the first three months of 1997 compared to the $20 million provided by operating activities for the prior year period. Investing activities used $42 million with purchases of securities nearly offsetting proceeds from sales, maturities and principal collected on securities and $36 million net used to fund loan growth. The major use of financing activity funds was to reduce advances from Federal Home Loan Bank, offset by the net increases in time deposits and repurchase agreements and the issuance of Capital Trust Securities, with total uses of cash from financing activities totaling $17 million. Cash and cash equivalents of $121 million at March 31, 1997 were $28 million less than at March 31, 1996. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY The equity to asset ratio was 6.1% on March 31, 1997 as measured by shareholders' equity of $332 million and assets of $5.470 billion. ONBANCorp's capital ratios exceed all regulatory requirements, including the Company's regulatory capital leverage ratio of 7.4% and total risk adjusted capital ratio of 14.3% each of which significantly exceeds the regulatory targets of 5.0% and 10.0% , respectively, for "well capitalized" institutions. The current share repurchase program is expected to continue during the second quarter and will result in fewer shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 1997 than at March 31, 1997. 17 PART II.
