the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The Company is making this statement for the express purpose of availing
itself of the safe harbor protection with respect to any and all of such
forward-looking statements, including without limitation, those contained in
Management's Discussion and Analysis which describe future plans or strategies
and include the Company's expectations of future financial results. The words
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements. The Company's ability to
predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently
uncertain. Factors that could affect actual results include interest rate
trends, the general economic climate in the Company's market areas or in the
country as a whole, loan delinquency rates, and changes in federal and state
regulation. These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-
looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.


                                     PART I

Item 1.    Description of Business
- -------    -----------------------

General

  Iroquois Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a New York corporation, is a bank
holding company that operates two wholly-owned financial institution
subsidiaries:  Cayuga Bank, a New York state-chartered commercial bank and trust
company with its principal offices located in Auburn, New York and The Homestead
Savings FA ("Homestead Savings"), a federally chartered savings association with
its principal offices located in Utica, New York.  Cayuga Bank and Homestead
Savings are sometimes referred to herein as the "member banks."


Description of business

  The Company, through its member banks and their respective subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Subsidiaries"), is engaged solely in the business of
providing financial services to consumers and businesses.  The Company caters to
the particular needs of its market areas through the Subsidiaries, offering a
broad range of financial products and services.  Loan products offered by the
Company include mortgages, home equity loans and lines of credit, consumer
installment loans, credit cards, student loans, and commercial loans; deposit
products include savings, checking and time deposits, money market accounts, a
range of deposits for municipalities or other public corporations, and mortgage
escrow accounts.  The Company also provides insurance agency services,
investment brokerage services, trust services and safe deposit facilities.

  The business of the Company is more fully described in Management's Discussion
and Analysis at pages 7 through 24 of the Company's Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 Annual
Report to Shareholders"), incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (13)
hereto.


Market Area

  The Company's market area primarily covers the Central New York counties of
Cayuga, Oswego and Oneida.  Cayuga and Oswego counties are part of the Syracuse
MSA, which also includes Onondaga and Madison counties.  Oneida County is part
of the Utica MSA, which also includes Herkimer County. The Company's residential
mortgage lending extends to Monroe County, part of the Rochester MSA, and parts
of Seneca and Onondaga counties through a broker network, as well as to Old
Forge and Lake Placid, NY, through loan production offices.

  A recent estimate by the U.S. Census Bureau shows the Cayuga County population
declined by 1.3% or 1,049 people between 1990 and 1998.  Oneida County led the
state in population decline from 1990 to 1998 with 8.1%, or 20,208 people
leaving the county.  Oswego County showed a modest gain of 1.8% or 2,221 people.
The Syracuse MSA declined by 1.0%, or 7,597 people during the same period.

  The percentage of population over age 60 increased by 3% for Cayuga County,
and 6% for both Oswego and Oneida counties from the period 1980 to 1990.  Nearly
one-third of the total population in these counties exceeds 60 years of age.
These statistics seem to follow a national trend of people living longer.  The
Company intends to focus on this market segment with products and services
designed to

                                       3


accommodate an older population. These include relationship accounts, trust and
investment services, and products for meeting housing needs of the elderly
through innovative mortgage programs.

  In 1999, the Central New York economy slowed.  Total nonagricultural
employment in the Syracuse MSA increased just 0.6%, compared to a national
average of 2.4%.  Service sector jobs grew the most, adding 1,200.  Government
was second increasing by 800 jobs.  Manufacturing lost 200 jobs after good gains
in 1998.  Most other industry groupings showed little growth or small declines.

  The unemployment rate for the Syracuse MSA was 4.3% for December 1999 up from
3.6% a year earlier.  The unemployment rate for New York State for December 1999
was 4.5% while the national rate was 4.1%.  The December year over year
unemployment rate for Cayuga County increased from 5.2% in 1998 to 5.4% in 1999.
Oneida County remained at 3.8% while Oswego County increased from 5.6% to 6.9%
The unemployment rate for the Rochester MSA increased from 3.6% to 4.0%, and the
Utica MSA increased from 4.1% to 4.2%.

  The Central New York housing market remained strong during 1999.  Sales in the
Syracuse MSA were 15.5% higher than 1998 while the median sales price increased
8.1%.  Nationally, sales were up 5.9% with an increase in the median sales price
of 3.6%. The backlog of unsold homes continued to decline in the Company's
primary market areas.  The Rochester area housing market also remained strong
during 1999.  Home sales in most areas slowed with the rise in interest rates
through the fourth quarter of the year.

Competition

  Because the primary business of the Company is the ongoing business of its
Subsidiaries, the competitive conditions faced by the Company are primarily
those of the member banks as financial institutions in their respective
geographic markets.  Within their respective market areas, the member banks
encounter intense competition from other financial institutions offering
comparable products.  These competitors include commercial banks, savings banks,
savings and loan associations, and credit unions. Competition for the broader
range of financial services provided by the Subsidiaries also comes from non-
banking entities such as personal loan companies, sales finance companies,
leasing companies, securities brokers and dealers, insurance companies, mortgage
companies, and money market and mutual fund companies.  It is expected that
competition will intensify with financial modernization, the redeployment of
technology dollars from Y2K concerns to new product and delivery technologies,
and investor expectations for growth.

  To differentiate itself from the competition in its market areas, the Company
places strong emphasis on providing customers with highly personalized service
and products tailored to the needs of its retail and commercial customers.  The
Subsidiaries also utilize personal sales calls, convenient hours and locations,
and relationship-based products and services to enhance customer retention and
loyalty.

  In addition to competition for financial services, the Company itself faces
competition for acquisition of other banking institutions or their branches.
Numerous banks and financial institutions in the Company's market areas are
pursuing acquisition strategies and have formed holding companies for the same
reasons as the Company.  As merger and acquisition activity has reduced the
number of bank competitors, community banks from contiguous areas are entering
the primary market areas of the subsidiaries with denovo branch banking offices.

     herein by reference.


Employees

  At December 31, 1999, the Company and its Subsidiaries had 171 full-time and
30 part-time employees.  The Company and its Subsidiaries provide a variety of
benefit programs including group life, health, accident and other insurance
benefits, and retirement and stock ownership plans.

Regulation and Supervision

  The earnings of the member banks, and therefore the earnings of the Company,
are affected by policies of regulatory authorities, most significantly the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB") which implements policies
to influence interest rates and the supply of money and credit in the banking
system.  The FRB's monetary policies strongly influence the behavior of interest
rates and can have a significant effect on the operating results of banks,
primarily through the FRB's policies that have a direct impact on interest
rates.  The effects of various FRB policies on future business and earnings of
the Company cannot be predicted, nor can the nature or extent of any effects of
possible future governmental controls, legislative or regulatory changes that
may be implemented by the FRB or any of the other regulatory agencies with
jurisdiction over the Company or its Subsidiaries.

  As sole shareholder of Cayuga Bank, under federal law the Company is a bank
holding company subject to the jurisdiction of the FRB.  The Company also falls
within the definition of a thrift holding company as sole shareholder of
Homestead Savings, under the jurisdiction of the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS").  Under  the provisions of the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1996 ("EGRPRA"), the OTS adopted rules applicable to holding
companies that qualify as both a bank and thrift holding company, and the OTS no
longer supervises a holding company that controls both a bank and a savings
association if it is registered with the FRB.  Accordingly, under federal law,
the Company files all reports with and is subject to regulation, examination,
and supervision solely by the FRB even though it continues to own a savings
association.  OTS, however, continues to be the primary regulatory authority for
Homestead Savings, the Company's wholly-owned savings association subsidiary.

  The Company also has been and continues to be a bank holding company for
purposes of state law and, as such, is subject to regulation, examination, and
supervision by the New York State Banking Department.

  Cayuga Bank operates as a commercial bank, chartered as a New York State trust
company, and is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the New
York State Banking Department as its primary regulatory authority and by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").  Homestead Savings is subject to
regulation, supervision and examination by the OTS as its primary regulatory
authority.  Cayuga Bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC Bank Insurance Fund
("BIF") and Homestead Savings' deposits are insured by the FDIC Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  Each of the financial institutions is
subject to assessment of insurance premiums as the FDIC may require from time to
time to assure that the BIF and SAIF have adequate reserves.  During the last
year, Cayuga Bank, as a well-capitalized institution insured by BIF, paid an
assessment of $0.012 per $100 of qualifying deposits and Homestead Savings, as a
well-capitalized SAIF-insured institution, paid $0.06 per $100 of qualifying
deposits.  FDIC deposit insurance coverage under the respective  BIF and SAIF is
generally in amounts up

                                       7


to $100,000 per depositor. The FDIC has the power to terminate insured status or
to suspend it temporarily under special conditions.

  The FRB has adopted minimum capital ratios and guidelines for assessing the
adequacy of capital of bank holding companies.  The minimum capital ratios
consist of a risk-based measure, a leverage ratio and a Tier 1 leverage ratio.
Under the risk-based measure, a bank holding company must have a minimum ratio
of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets equal to 8%, of which at
least 4% must be in the form of Tier 1 capital.  Qualifying total capital is
calculated by adding Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. The risk-based capital
ratio, calculated by dividing qualifying capital by risk-weighted assets, also
incorporates capital charges for certain market risks.  The leverage measure of
capital is based on two components, a minimum level of primary capital to total
assets of 5.5% and a minimum level of total capital to total assets of 6.0%.
The Tier 1 leverage ratio requires the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets
be at least 3%, for strong bank holding companies and those that have
implemented a risk-based capital measurement that includes market risk factors.
All other holding companies must have a minimum 4% Tier 1 leverage ratio, and an
even higher ratio may be imposed on weaker organizations.  At December 31, 1999,
the Company's capital ratios were in excess of the minimum requirements.

  The FRB also places bank holding companies into various categories based upon
these measures of capital adequacy, of which the highest level is "well
capitalized." A bank holding company is considered well capitalized if it
maintains a risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater and a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 6% or greater, and if the bank holding company is not subject
to any written agreement, order or similar directive issued by FRB for
maintaining capital levels.  Under EGRPRA, a bank holding company that is deemed
to be well-capitalized may engage in permissible non-banking activities without
prior approval from the FRB. Based on the Company's calculation of its capital
ratios, the Company qualifies as a well capitalized bank holding company.

  Both of the financial institution subsidiaries of the Company are also subject
to specific capital requirements of their respective regulators.  Cayuga Bank is
subject to FDIC guidelines which require Tier 1 capital of at least 3% of total
assets, and 1% to 2% higher depending upon the bank's financial condition and
growth strategy.  The FDIC risk-based capital guidelines require that the ratio
of total capital to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8%, with a minimum of
4% in Tier 1 capital.  Homestead Savings is subject to the capital adequacy
guidelines of the OTS, which require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of total
assets, core capital of at least 3% of total assets, and minimum risk-based
capital of 8% of risk-weighted assets.  Both subsidiaries have in excess of
these capital requirements.

  For supervisory purposes, each of the federal bank regulatory agencies have
promulgated regulations establishing five categories, ranging from well-
capitalized to critically under-capitalized, depending upon the institution's
capital and other factors.  Capital adequacy provisions that apply to both
Cayuga Bank and Homestead Savings under guidelines adopted by all federal
banking regulatory agencies also require market risk measures to be included in
risk-based capital standards.

  The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking Efficiency Act of 1994 permits bank holding
companies and banks to engage in transactions involving interstate acquisitions
and mergers if the holding company and banking institution are adequately
capitalized and managed.  The FRB imposes restrictions, however,  on the
acquisition by the Company of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or
other bank holding company.  The extent to and terms on which full interstate
branching and certain other actions authorized under the Riegle-Neal Act are
implemented will depend on the actions of entities other than the Company and
its member banks, including the legislatures of the various states.  Further
developments by state and federal authorities, including legislation, with
respect to matters covered by the Riegle-Neal Act reasonably can be anticipated
to occur in the future.

                                       8


  Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA"), the federal regulatory
agencies are required to assess whether the holding company or institutions are
meeting the credit needs of the communities served.  All bank regulatory
agencies take CRA ratings into consideration in connection with any application
for mergers or consolidations, including applications for acquiring branch
offices of operating institutions.  New York State Banking Department
regulations impose similar requirements with respect to the CRA.

  Cayuga Bank and Homestead Savings are also subject to certain FRB regulations
for the maintenance of reserves in cash or in non-interest bearing accounts, the
effect of which is to increase their cost of funds.  Cayuga Bank is also subject
to comprehensive New York state regulation, including limitations on the amount
of dividends that may be paid to Iroquois as its sole shareholder.

  On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, (the "GLB Act") of 1999 was
signed into law.  The GLB Act represents a sweeping reform of financial services
regulation and permits the creation of new financial services holding companies
that can offer a full range of financial products pursuant to regulatory reform
based on functional regulation financial services.  The legislation eliminates
the legal barrier to affiliations among banks and securities firms, insurance
companies, and other financial service companies and provides financial
organizations with flexibility in structuring these new affiliations while
preserving appropriate safeguards through regulation.

  Under the GLB Act, the Federal Reserve Board remains the primary supervisor
for holding companies and implements a system of functional regulation intended
to utilize the strengths of various federal and state regulators.  A key feature
of the GLB Act is the establishment of a minimum federal standard for financial
privacy pursuant to which all financial institutions must maintain a written
privacy policy that is disclosed to all customers at the time a customer
relationship is established and not less than annually to all customers of the
institution.  The GLB Act provides for regulation of bank securities activities,
eliminating the blanket exemption previously granted to banks from the
definition of "broker" and imposes, instead, limited exemptions to enable banks
to continue to perform some of the traditional bank securities activities
without registration as a broker.  The Act also amends federal securities laws
to include banks within the general definition of dealer and eliminates the
exclusion of banks from the definition of investment advisor.

  Because the legislation is so very new and the changes are radical, the
Company cannot yet determine how it will be affected by the GLB Act.  To date,
the Company's bank subsidiaries have adopted  a financial privacy policy for
disclosure to their customers and the Company is considering whether it would be
advantageous to implement any new products or services and whether any corporate
restructuring for financial services activities of its subsidiaries will be
appropriate.

Item 2.    Properties
- -------    ----------

           The Company's properties are all located in central New York State.
Six banking office facilities are utilized by Cayuga Bank: three in Auburn, one
in Weedsport, one in Moravia, and one in Lacona, all of which are owned. The
Company has one office in Utica, one office in New Hartford, one office in
Waterville, and one office in Clinton, that are all owned and utilized as
banking offices by Homestead Savings. The Company is presently constructing a
banking office in Rome, New York for use by Homestead Savings. Until its
completion, the Company is also leasing banking office space in the Mohawk Acre
Shopping Plaza in Rome, New York. All of these properties are in generally good
condition and appropriate for their intended use.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings
- -------    -----------------

           The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings, other
than routine legal proceedings undertaken in the ordinary course of business or
legal proceedings that, in the opinion of the management after consultation with
counsel, if determined adversely, would not have a material effect on the
