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 10K 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 June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts for consistency in reporting. (2) Loans Impaired loans were $6.3 million and $8.4 million at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Included in these amounts is $3.8 million and $7.1 million of impaired loans for which the related allowance for loan losses is $1.9 million and $3.9 million at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition, included in the total impaired loans is $2.5 million and $1.3 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 June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The average recorded investments in impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $6.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company recognized interest income on those impaired loans of $155 thousand and $222 thousand, respectively using the cash basis method of income recognition. 7 (3) Securities The following table sets forth securities available for sale as of June 30, 1997: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amortized Gross Unrealized Fair ---------------- (In Thousands) Cost Gains Losses Value - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Securities: U.S. Government obligations $ 19,343 8 77 19,274 U.S. Government agencies 109,989 4 1,844 108,149 Corporate and other 22,830 182 179 22,833 Mortgage-backed securities 712,298 4,516 2,710 714,104 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total debt securities 864,460 4,710 4,810 864,360 Equity securities: Common 13 -- -- 13 Preferred 29,462 311 285 29,488 Federal Home Loan Bank 42,816 -- -- 42,816 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total equity securities 72,291 311 285 72,317 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 936,751 5,021 5,095 936,677 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table sets forth securities held to maturity as of June 30, 1997: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amortized Gross Unrealized Fair ---------------- (In Thousands) Cost Gains Losses Value - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Securities: U.S. Government obligations $ 15,080 13 2 15,091 U.S. Government agencies 135,462 -- 7,378 128,084 State and municipal 65,607 1,114 22 66,699 Corporate and other 513 6 -- 519 Mortgage-backed securities 1,329,883 4,707 18,776 1,315,814 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total debt securities 1,546,545 5,840 26,178 1,526,207 Unamortized holding loss on securities transferred (34,690) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- $1,511,855 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 June 30, 1997, the remaining unamortized loss on US Government agency securities was $7.6 million and mortgage-backed securities was $27.1 million. 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 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. Over 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 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. 8 (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 1 capital treatment for this type of capital securities which provides the Company with a method of funding Tier 1 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 1,304,000 shares of Common Stock at a cost of $60.162 million. In addition, the Company intends to continue to acquire up to an additional 96,000 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. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ABOUT CAPITAL STRUCTURE. SFAS No. 129 establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure and is effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Adoption of SFAS No. 129 is not expected to have an impact on the financial condition or results of operation of the Company. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. The statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 130, which is effective for the 1998, has not been determined. In June 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. SFAS No. 131 requires publicly-held companies to report financial and other information about key revenue-producing segments of the entity for which such information is available and is utilized by the chief operating decision maker. Specific information to be reported for individual segments includes profit or loss, certain revenue and expense items and total assets. A reconciliation of segment financial information to amounts reported in the financial statements would be provided. SFAS No. 131 is effective for the 1998 fiscal year. At the present time, the impact of adoption has not been determined. 9 ONBANCorp, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditional 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. Second quarter net income was $12.2 million compared to $11.7 million for the 1996 second quarter and first six months net income was $24.4 million compared to $23.2 million for the prior year period. Fully diluted net income per common share was $.92 compared to $.76 for the 1996 second quarter and 1997 first six months fully diluted net income per common share was $1.79 compared to $1.50 for the prior year period. Return on average equity (ROE) was 15.0% and 14.3% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to 12.3% and 12.1% for the respective prior to year periods. Return on Average Assets (ROA) was .90% and .91% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to .89% and .87% for the respective prior year periods. Book value per common share was $24.79 at June 30, 1997, $24.82 at December 31, 1996 and $24.11 at June 30, 1996. A regular dividend of $.34 per common share was declared for the second quarter of 1997 and paid on July 1, 1997. Regular dividends of $.68 per common share have been declared during the first six months of 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 June 30, 1997, commercial loans have increased by $137 million or 22% to $752 million and consumer loans increased by $185 million or 29% to $825 million. During the last year residential mortgage loans have increased slightly by $4 million to $1,119 million despite the fact that $272 million of loans were originated or purchased were originated or purchased. To manage overall interest rate risk in a relatively low yield market rate environment $104 million residential mortgage loans were securitized or sold, thereby, moderating loan portfolio growth. Total assets increased by $214 million or 4.1% to $5.5 billion during the one year period ended June 30, 1997. Net interest income was $39.2 million and $77.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, compared to the $37.3 million and $75.2 million recorded in the respective prior year periods. Average loans of $2.517 billion for the first six months of 1997 were $202 million or 9% improved over the first six months of 1996 as a result of the Company's continuing focus on expanding loan generation. The yield on these average loans declined by 3 basis points to 8.45% for the first six months of 1997 compared to the 8.48% for the prior year period. The volume of average securities for the first six months of 1997 declined to $2.556 billion or by $148 million compared to the prior year period. The yield on these securities increased by 12 basis points to 6.56% as a combined result of reinvestment and the scheduled repricing of certain adjustable-rate securities. Average earning assets of $5.098 billion were $17 million more for the first six months of 1997 than for the first six months of 1996. The yield on total earning assets increased by 13 basis points to 7.49% for the six months of 1997 compared to the first six 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 $80 million to $677 million for the first six months of 1997 compared to the prior year period. The cost of these deposits also decreased by 14 basis points to 2.50% for the first six months of 1997 compared to the prior year period. Average time deposits increased $241 million to $2.405 billion for the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996. The costs of these deposits also increased by 2 basis points to 5.59% for the first six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in time deposits was the result of increases in commercial and municipal certificates of deposit and retail brokered certificates of deposit being greater than the decrease in retail certificates of deposit. Average interest bearing 10 transaction accounts (Money market, NOW and escrow deposits) increased $5 million to $534 million and the cost increased 42 basis points to 2.69% when comparing the first six months of 1997 to the first six months of 1996. Average total interest bearing deposits increased by $166 million to $3.616 billion for the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996. Total average borrowings (including repurchase agreements) of $.978 billion for the first six months of 1997 are $178 million or 15% less than the $1.156 billion for the first six 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 selected liabilities and thereby helping to protect against rising interest rates resulting in a 8 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 increased volume of higher cost deposits, the cost of total interest bearing liabilities increased 8 basis points to 4.91% for the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996. The effect of the increase in yield on earning assets of 13 basis points resulted in the net interest spread increasing from 2.53% to 2.58% for the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six 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 9 basis points to 3.07% for the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996. Contributing to this improvement was the increase of $31 million in average non-interest bearing deposits. The Banks intend to continue to emphasize increasing the balances in non-interest bearing deposits. 11 This table sets forth for the six months ended June 30, the average daily balances of the Company's major asset and liability items and the interest earned or paid thereon expressed in dollars and weighted average rates. 1997 1996 Average Yield/ Average Yield/ (Dollars in Thousands) Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate - ---------------------- ----------- -------- ------ --------- -------- ------ Interest earning assets(1) Loans $ 2,516,506 105,460 8.45% 2,315,235 97,609 8.48% Securities 2,555,769 83,148 6.56% 2,703,789 86,613 6.44% Federal funds sold and other 26,001 772 5.99% 62,425 1,636 5.27% ----------- -------- ------ --------- -------- ------ Total interest earning assets 5,098,276 189,380 7.49% 5,081,449 185,858 7.36% Non-interest earning assets 295,322 278,967 ----------- --------- Total assets $ 5,393,598 5,360,416 ----------- --------- ----------- --------- Interest bearing liabilities Savings deposits 676,862 8,375 2.50% 756,507 9,924 2.64% Time deposits 2,405,062 66,664 5.59% 2,164,363 59,955 5.57% Money market accounts, NOW accounts, and escrow deposits 533,896 7,124 2.69% 528,645 5,978 2.27% ----------- -------- ------ --------- -------- ------ Total deposits 3,615,820 82,163 4.58% 3,449,515 75,857 4.42% Repurchase agreements 331,107 9,924 6.04% 337,200 10,499 6.26% Other borrowings 646,418 19,785 6.17% 818,988 24,298 5.97% ----------- -------- ------ --------- -------- ------ Total interest bearing liabilities 4,593,345 111,872 4.91% 4,605,703 110,664 4.83% Non-interest bearing deposits 339,920 308,207 Non-interest bearing liabilities 67,727 61,049 ----------- --------- ----------- --------- Total liabilities 5,000,992 4,974,959 Capital trust securities 48,729 -- Shareholders' equity 343,877 385,457 ----------- --------- Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $ 5,393,598 5,360,416 Net interest income $ 77,508 75,204 ----------- --------- ----------- --------- Interest rate spread 2.58% 2.53% Net interest margin(2) 3.07% 2.98% Total interest earning assets to total interest bearing liabilities 1.11X 1.10X Average equity to average assets 6.38% 7.19% (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 .77% of total assets at June 30, 1997. During the second quarter of 1997, a $5.7 million mortgage loan became delinquent. Excluding the $5.6 million guaranteed portion of this loan, the nonperforming asset ratio would have been .67%. the Company's provision for loan losses of $1.8 million and $3.6 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 decreased from the $2.0 million and $3.9 million recorded in the respective prior year periods. The coverage ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans decreased form 140% at year-end 1996 to 104% at June 30, 1997. The allowance as a percent of gross loans was 1.4% at June 30, 1997. The ratio of delinquent loans as a percentage of gross loans was 1.3% at June 30, 1997. Loan quality remains strong at ONBANCorp. 13 The following table sets forth the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated: (Dollars in Thousands) 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 -

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Potential problem loans at June 30, 1997 amounted to $36.4 million compared with $21.3 million at June 30, 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. 15 Other Operating Income Other operating income, which is generated by mortgage banking activities, service charges, security transactions and miscellaneous other sources, increased by $.6 million and $1.9 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to the respective prior year periods. Mortgage banking income decreased by $.2 million and increased slightly for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to the respective prior year periods. The volume of loans serviced for others decreased from $1.104 billion at June 30, 1996 to $1.068 billion at June 30, 1997. Service charges increased $.7 million or 15% and $1.5 million or 17% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to the respective prior year periods. Increasing volumes of retail and commercial banking business and consumer electronic banking services are primarily responsible for these increases. The Company intends 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 $1.4 million and $1.6 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to the respective prior year periods. Gains from the sale of trading securities are primarily responsible for these increases. Other income decreased by $1.3 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to the respective prior year periods. Included in the 1996 three and six month periods are non-recurring items of a $2.9 million gain on sale of three small branches and a $1.3 million loss on sale of a building. Continuing to increase other operating income in the future 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 Second quarter and six month operating expenses increased $1.2 million and $1.9 million from the comparative prior year periods. Excluding the second quarter and six months $1.4 million and $2.2 million capital trust securities expense, operating expenses actually declined as a result of declines in salaries and benefits and deposit insurance premiums. Excluding the capital trust securities expense, an efficiency ratio of 56.2% for the first six 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 the Company declared dividends of $.34 and $.68 respectively, per common share amounting to $4.4 million and $9.1 million respectively. These dividends were paid in April and July of 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 was $.8 million for the six months of 1997 compared to the $27.3 million net cash provided the prior year period. Investing activities used $138 million with proceeds from sales, maturities and principal collected on securities exceeding purchases of securities by $109 million, offset by the funding of loans exceeding sales, maturities and principal collected by $246 million. The major use of financing activity funds was to reduce advances from Federal Home Loan Bank and purchase treasury stock, with cash provided by the increase in time deposits and the issuance of Capital Trust Securities, with total cash provided from financing activities totaling $93 million. Cash and cash equivalents of $136 million at June 30, 1997 were $27 million less than at June 30, 1996. 16 Shareholders' Equity and Capital Adequacy The equity to asset ratio was 5.71% on June 30, 1997 as measured by shareholders' equity of $317 million and assets of $5.530 billion. ONBANCorp's capital ratios exceed all regulatory requirements, including the Company's regulatory capital leverage ratio of 7.1% and total risk adjusted capital ratio of 13.5%. Each of the Banks significantly exceeds the regulatory targets of 5.0% and 10.0%, respectively, for "well capitalized" institutions. 17 PART II.
