          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



  1)   Financial Statements
       --------------------

       The interim financial statements contained herein are unaudited,  but in
       the opinion of management of the Company, include all adjustments
       (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
       presentation of the results of operations for these periods.  The results
       of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
       the results of operations for the full year.


  2)   Earnings Per Share
       ------------------

       Net income per common share for 1996 and 1995 was calculated for the
       respective periods by dividing net income applicable to common shares of
       $874,000 in 1996 and $799,000 in 1995 by the weighted average number of
       shares outstanding of 2,314,374 in 1996 and 2,293,520 in 1995.  The
       exercise of outstanding stock options was not considered in the
       calculation because, if exercised, they would not materially affect
       earnings per share, as presented.


  3)   Stock Dividend
       --------------

       In July 1995, the Corporation declared a two-for-one stock split,
       effected by means of a stock dividend paid on August 31, 1995.  All share
       and per share data included in the condensed consolidated financial
       statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.


  4)   Other Accounting Issues
       -----------------------

       On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
       Standards ("SFAS") No. 122, "Accounting For Mortgage Servicing Rights" on
       a prospective basis.  SFAS 122 requires the Company to recognize as
       separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others, however
       those servicing rights are acquired, and also requires the Company to
       assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on
       the fair value of those rights.  The adoption of SFAS 122 did not have a
       material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
       operations.



                                      (7)

 
       On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
       Stock-Based Compensation" which encourages, but does not require,
       companies to use a fair value based method of determining compensation
       cost for grants of stock options under stock-based employee compensation
       plans.  As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company elected to continue
       accounting for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting
       Principals Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"). Under APB 25, no compensation
       cost is recorded as options are granted by the Company at a purchase
       price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date
       of the grant.  Companies electing to continue accounting under the
       provisions of APB 25 are required to present pro forma disclosures of net
       income and net income per share, as if a fair value based method had been
       applied for each period in which a complete set of financial statements
       are presented.

  ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  ---------------------

  Three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to March 31, 1995
  ------------------------------------------------------------

  Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $992,000, or $.38 per
  share, compared to net income of $906,000, or $.35 per share, for the three
  months ended March 31, 1995.  Net interest income was $4,443,000 for the first
  quarter of 1996, compared to $4,593,000 for the same period in 1995.  Net
  interest rate spread was 4.03% for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
  compared to 4.28% for the same period in 1995.

  Total interest income increased to $8,518,000 from $8,199,000 for the same
  period in 1995.  The increase is primarily a result of the increase in the
  average balance of earning assets as the yield increased only slightly to
  8.12% in the first quarter of 1996 from 8.11% in 1995.  Total interest expense
  increased $469,000, or 13.02%, for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from
  the same period in 1995.  The increase in interest expense was a result of an
  increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 4.09% in 1996
  from 3.83% in 1995.  This primarily reflects the higher cost of funds due to
  the migration of lower costing transactional accounts back to higher costing
  time deposits during the last three quarters of 1995, and the higher level of
  borrowings.

  Total other income increased $14,200, or 2.5%, in the first quarter of 1996,
  compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase is primarily due to the
  increase in trust services and fees associated with the Bank's brokerage
  services.

  Total other expenses decreased $241,400 or 7.2%, in the first quarter of 1996,
  compared to the same period in 1995.  The decline in other expense reflects
  the results of cost control initiatives, implemented in 1995 as well as a
  reduction in FDIC insurance premiums for Cayuga Savings Bank during the third
  quarter of 1995.

  The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
  $640,000, compared to $619,300 for the same period in 1995.

  FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  ----------------------------------------------------

  Consolidated assets were $451.1 million at March 31, 1996, compared to $437.8
  million at December 31, 1995.  Net loans receivable were


                                      (9)

 
  $329.4 million at March 31, 1996, compared to $325.7 million at year end 1995.
  The growth in lending was primarily in residential mortgage loans and
  commercial loans. Residential mortgage loans increased $1.6 million or 1.0%
  while commercial loans increased $1.2 million or 3.2%. Securities increased
  $6.2 million or 7.4% from $89.4 million at December 31, 1995 to $96.4 million
  at March 31, 1996.

  The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1996, was $3,327,000, or 1.00% of
  total loans, compared to $3,380,000, or 1.03%, at December 31, 1995.  Non-
  performing assets were 1.37% of total assets at March 31, 1996, compared to
  1.21% of total assets at December 31, 1995.  The increase in non-performing
  assets is primarily due to increases in Other Real Estate (ORE) acquired by
  foreclosure and an increase in commercial mortgage loans currently under the
  process of workout and on a non-accrual status.  Approximately $1.6 million of
  the non-performing loans at March 31, 1996 were subsequently paid in full or
  brought current.

  Total deposits increased $3.5 million, from $369.1 million at December 31,
  1995, to $372.6 million at March 31, 1996.  Growth during the quarter was in
  savings and money market accounts which increased a combined $5.0 million
  while demand deposit accounts decreased by a combined $3.8 million.  Time
  deposit balances remained constant at $177.4 million at March 31, 1996,
  compared to $178.2 million at December 31, 1995.  During the first quarter of
  1996, $39 million of time deposits matured with the banks retaining over 95%
  of those maturities.  Borrowings increased $7.9 million, from $35.2 million at
  December 31, 1995 to $43.1 million at March 31, 1996.  Term advances at the
  Federal Home Loan Bank increased $6.0 million while draws against overnight
  lines of credit increased $1.9 million.  Additional borrowings were primarily
  utilized to fund additions to the securities portfolio in anticipation of
  funds to be received from Cayuga's acquisition of three OnBank & Trust Co.
  branches during the second quarter.

  At March 31, 1996, the Company had total shareholders' equity of $32.4
  million, with an average equity to average assets ratio of 7.26%.  The
  subsidiaries of Iroquois Bancorp, Inc. are each required to meet the capital
  requirements established by their respective federal regulatory agency.
  Cayuga Savings Bank, insured under the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and
  subject to FDIC capital regulations, had a core capital ratio of 7.67% and a
  risk-based capital ratio of 12.43%.  The Homestead Savings (FA), which is
  insured under the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), and
  subject to the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) capital regulations, had
  tangible and core capital ratios of 5.60% and a risk-based capital ratio of
  10.25%.  The capital ratios of these subsidiaries all exceed the current
  minimum regulatory requirements.

  At March 31, 1996, the Company held short-term liquid assets including
  investments held as available for sale of $44.7 million, or 9.9% of total
  assets.  The Company considers its current liquidity and additional sources of
  funds sufficient and within an acceptable range.
