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, 1995. 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, 1996 and 1995 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts for consistency in reporting. (2) Loans The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 114 Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan as amended by Statement 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income and Disclosure. These statements prescribe recognition criteria for loan impairment, generally related to commercial type loans, and measurement methods for certain impaired loans and all loans whose terms are modified in troubled debt restructuring subsequent to the adoption of these statements. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. As of January 1, 1995, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 and has provided the required disclosures. The effect of adoption was not material to the consolidated financial statements. As of January 1, 1995, all of the Company's in substance foreclosed assets were reclassified into impaired loan status as required by SFAS No. 114. For all prior periods presented, all amounts related to in substance foreclosures have also been reclassified. These reclassifications did not impact the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 114, the allowance for possible loan losses related to impaired loans that are identified for evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 114 is based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's initial effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, impairment may be measured at the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral for certain loans where repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral (collateral dependent loans). The Company's impaired loans are generally collateral dependent. The Company considers estimated costs to sell, on a discounted basis, when determining the fair value of collateral in the measurement of impairment of those costs are expected to reduce the cash flows available to repay or otherwise satisfy the loans. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 114 and 118, the allowance for possible loan losses related to these loans was based on estimated undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell for collateral dependent loans. Other real estate owned included both formally foreclosed and in-substance foreclosed real properties. In accordance with SFAS No. 114, a loan is classified as an in-substance foreclosure when the Company has taken possession of the collateral regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118, in-substance foreclosed properties included those properties where the borrower had little or no remaining equity in the property considering its fair value remaining equity; where repayment was only expected to come from the operation or sale of the property; and where the borrower had effectively abandoned control of the property or it was doubtful that the borrower would be able to rebuild equity in the property. 8 At March 31, 1996, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 totaled $11.4 million. Included in this amount is $9.8 million of impaired loans for which the related allowance for credit losses is $1.6 million. In addition, included in the total impaired loans at March 31, 1996 is $3.6 million of impaired loans that as a result of the adequacy of collateral values do not have an allowance for credit losses determined in accordance with SFAS No. 114. The average recorded investments in impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 1996 was approximately $10.7 million. Impaired loans generally are included in non-performing loans, as non-accrual loans. Commercial type loans past due greater than 90 days and still accruing are generally not considered to be impaired as the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for the delinquent period. For the three months ended March 31, 1996 the Company recognized interest income on those impaired loans of $133 thousand using the cash basis method of income recognition. Potential problem loans at March 31, 1996 amounted to $20.9 million. "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 borrowers inability to comply with the present loan repayment terms. Of the $20.9 million in potential problem loans, $3.4 million are considered impaired under SFAS No. 114. 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. (3) Securities The following table sets forth securities available for sale as of March 31, 1996. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amortized Gross Unrealized Fair (In Thousands) Cost Gains Losses Value - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debt securities: U.S. Government obligations $ 9,452 19 70 9,401 U.S. Government agencies 50,032 -- 713 49,319 Mortgage-backed securities 754,751 8,756 1,846 761,661 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total debt securities 814,235 8,775 2,629 820,381 Equity securities: Common 13 -- -- 13 Federal Home Loan Bank 56,403 -- -- 56,403 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total equity securities 56,416 -- -- 56,416 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $870,651 8,775 2,629 876,797 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9 The following table sets forth securities held to maturity as of March 31, 1996. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amortized Gross Unrealized Fair (In Thousands) Cost Gains Losses Value - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debt securities: U.S. Government obligations $ 29,804 246 84 29,966 U.S. Government agencies 159,514 -- 9,191 150,323 State and municipal 71,273 1,054 59 72,268 Corporate and other 433 1 -- 434 Mortgage-backed securities 1,561,194 5,105 22,835 1,543,464 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total debt securities 1,822,218 6,406 32,169 1,796,455 Unamortized holding loss on securities transferred (44,183) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $1,778,035 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 occurring 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 it's 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 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) Shareholders' Equity In 1995 the Company repurchased and retired 301,800 shares of Series "B" Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock at a cost of $8.058 million and repurchased 577,900 shares of Common Stock at a cost of $18.068 million. In addition, the Company intends to continue to acquire, as market conditions permit, both preferred and common stock up to the limit of 10% of fully diluted shares which was announced during the first quarter of 1996. Primary earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, after provision for dividends on preferred shares. The average number of shares used to compute primary earnings per share was 13,707,434 and 14,187,443 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Fully diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding and the assumed conversion of the preferred shares. The average number of shares used to compute fully diluted earnings per share was 15,680,391 and 16,4381,758 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. (5) 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. 10 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 Principles 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 for each period in which a complete set of financial statements are presented. 11 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., Franklin First Savings Bank and OnBank ("the Banks"). First quarter net income was $11.6 million compared to $9.9 million for the 1995 first quarter. Fully diluted net income per common share was $.74 compared to $.61 for the 1995 first quarter. Book value per common share increased to $24.29 at March 31, 1996 from $24.11 at December 31, 1995 and from $21.61 at March 31, 1995. A regular dividend of $.30 per common share was declared for the first quarter of 1996 and paid on April 1, 1996. Return on average equity (ROE) was 12.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 11.0% for the prior year period. Return on Average Assets (ROA) was .85% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to .64% for the prior year. Net Interest Income The first quarter of 1996's operating results represented the first full quarter of operations following the repositioning afforded to the Company during the fourth quarter of 1995. The Company transferred approximately $1.54 billion in securities from held to maturity to available for sale. Following this transfer the Company sold approximately $1.2 billion of its available for sale securities and used the proceeds to pay down borrowings and to fund future loan growth. The late year "window" enabled the Company to shrink the absolute levels of securities and borrowings. The yield on assets sold was approximately the same as the cost of the borrowings repaid, therefore, net interest income was not adversely affected. It was anticipated that as a result of this activity, net interest margin would improve in 1996 and, in fact, that has occurred with the net interest margin of 2.95% for the first quarter of 1996 representing a significant increase over the 2.55% margin for the year 1995. Net interest income was $37.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 up from the $37.4 million in the prior year period. Average loans of $2.295 billion for the first three months of 1996 were $294 million or 15% improved over the first three months of 1995 as a result of the Company's continuing focus on expanding its loan generation. The yield on these average loans declined by .10% to 8.50% for the first three months of 1996 compared to the 8.60% for the prior year period. The volume of average securities for the first three months of 1996 declined to $2.793 billion or by $1.104 billion compared to the prior year period. The yield on these securities increased by .39% to 6.53% as a combined result of the reinvestment of part of the proceeds from the sale of securities during the fourth quarter 1995 repositioning and the scheduled repricing of certain adjustable-rate securities. Average securities decreased by more than the increase in average loans, therefore, average interest earning assets of $5.163 billion were $776 million less for the first three months of 1996 than for the first three months of 1995. The yield on total earning assets increased by .40% to 7.39% for the three months of 1996 compared to the first three months of 1995. 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 $73 million to $763 million for the first three months of 1996 compared to the prior year period. The cost of these deposits also decreased by .14% to 2.68% for the first three months of 1996 compared to the prior year period. Average time deposits increased $110 million to $2.202 billion for the first three months of 1996 compared to the first three months of 1995. The costs of these deposits also increased by .36% to 5.64% for the first three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase in time deposits was the 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) decreased $50 million to $532 million and the cost decreased .11% to 2.28% when comparing the first three months of 1996 to the first three months of 1995. The decrease in these accounts is mainly attributable to consumer preference for higher yielding certificates of deposit, as well as, alternative investments such as stocks and 12 bonds. Average total interest bearing deposits decreased by only $13 million to $3.497 billion for the first three months of 1996 compared to the first three months of 1995. Total average borrowings (including repurchase agreements) of $1.195 billion for the first three months of 1996 are $844 million or 41% less than the $2.039 billion for the first three months of 1995 reflecting the Company's strategy to reduce borrowings. The selective lengthening in maturities of borrowings during 1995 affected the costs of the borrowings with repurchase agreements increasing by .58% to 6.30% and other borrowings increasing .31% to 5.95% when comparing the first three months of 1996 to the first three months of 1995. The essentially flat slope of the yield curve in 1995 provided the opportunity for extending liabilities and thereby helping to protect against rising interest rates, however, the offset is that the Company's net interest income will not benefit as much from declining interest rates. As a result of increased certificates of deposit and lengthening borrowings, the cost of total interest bearing liabilities increased by .13% to 4.88% for the first three months of 1996 compared to the first three months of 1995. The effect of the increases in yield on earning assets of .40% being .27% greater than the .13% increase in the cost resulted in the net interest spread increasing from 2.24% to 2.51% for the first three months of 1996 compared to the first three months of 1995. 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 .40% to 2.95% for the first three months of 1996 compared to the first three months of 1995. 13 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 expressed in dollars and weighted average rates. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 1995 Average Yield \ Average Yield \ (Dollars in Thousands) Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest earning assets(1) Securities 2,793,364 45,370 6.53% 3,897,841 59,042 6.14% Loans 2,294,739 48,478 8.50% 2,000,327 42,435 8.60% Federal funds sold and other 74,774 979 5.27% 40,681 907 9.04% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest earning assets 5,162,877 94,827 7.39% 5,938,849 102,384 6.99% Non-interest earning assets 281,110 332,212 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets $5,443,987 6,271,061 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest bearing liabilities Savings deposits 762,900 5,090 2.68% 835,638 5,806 2.82% Time deposits 2,201,648 30,851 5.64% 2,091,262 27,205 5.28% Money market accounts, NOW accounts, and escrow deposits 532,263 3,021 2.28% 582,564 3,438 2.39% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Deposits 3,496,811 38,962 4.48% 3,509,464 36,449 4.21% Repurchase agreements 354,004 5,543 6.30% 930,720 13,124 5.72% Other borrowings 840,692 12,440 5.95% 1,107,895 15,412 5.64% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest bearing liabilities 4,691,507 56,945 4.88% 5,548,079 64,985 4.75% Non-interest bearing deposits 300,456 285,640 Non-interest bearing liabilities 62,976 71,940 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities 5,054,939 5,905,659 Shareholders' equity 389,048 365,402 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $5,443,987 6,271,061 Net interest income $ 37,882 37,399 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest rate spread 2.51% 2.24% Net interest margin(2) 2.95% 2.55% Total interest earning assets to total interest bearing liabilities 1.10X 1.07X Average equity to average assets 7.15% 5.83% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (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 .66% of total assets at March 31, 1996. The Company's provision for loan losses of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased from the $1.7 million recorded in the prior year period. These provisions reflect both the increase in overall lending and the increase in non-performing loans to $31.1 million at March 31, 1996 from $29.0 million at December 31, 1995. The coverage ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans decreased slightly from 119% at year-end 1995 to 115% at March 31, 1996. The allowance as a percent of gross loans was 1.55% at March 31, 1996. The ratio of delinquent loans as a percentage of gross loans was 1.3% at March 31, 1996. Loan quality remains strong at ONBANCorp. 15 The following table sets forth the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated: March 31, /---------------December 31,----------------/ (Dollars in Thousands) 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 -

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17 Other Operating Income Other operating income, which is generated by mortgage banking activities, service charges, security transactions and miscellaneous other sources, increased by $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared prior year period. Mortgage banking income increased by $.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the prior year period. The volume of loans serviced for others has decreased from $1.197 billion at March 31, 1995 to $1.130 billion at March 31, 1996. Service charges increased $.6 million or 17.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the prior year period. Increasing volumes of commercial banking business and the associated fees 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. For example, OnBank & Trust Co. became the sole provider of ATM's at twenty six New York State Thruway Service Areas during the second half of 1995. This type of activity will provide additional fee income. Gains on the sale of securities increased $.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the prior year period. These gains generally reflect the sale of selected available-for-sale securities associated with the securities downsizing strategy. Other Operating Expenses Other operating expenses remained stable at $26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. A decrease of FDIC insurance premiums of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 1996 compared to the previous year was offset by $.5 million of one-time borrowing prepayment penalties and $.9 million increase in overall operating expenses associated with increased volume of banking activity and the associated expenses. However, when compared to almost any peer group the Company's expenses to average assets ratio of 1.94% for the first three months of 1996 is favorable. Contingencies Congress currently has proposed legislation to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund. If enacted in its current form, the Banks' one-time FDIC assessment would be approximately $7.0 million. Proposed legislation would also repeal the bad debt methods currently available to thrift institutions, requiring the Company to recapture a portion of their existing bad debt reserves. The aggregate potential Federal and state tax expense resulting from recapture would be approximately $5.6 million. There is no assurance that this pending legislation will be enacted into law, therefore, the FASB has stated that the charge to earnings must be recorded in the period enacted. Accordingly, the Company has made no accrual for these potential obligations. Dividends Payments of dividends by ONBANCorp on its common and preferred stock is subject to various regulatory and tax restrictions. During the three months ended March 31, 1996 the Company declared a dividend of $.30 per common share amounting to $4.1 million. For the same period the Company declared a dividend of $.42 per preferred share amounting to $1.1 million. These dividends were paid in April 1996 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 provided by operating activities decreased to $20 million for the first three months of 1996 from $31 million for the prior year period. Investing activities used $2 million with purchases of securities approximating proceeds from sales, maturities and principal collected on securities. The major use of financing activity funds was to reduce advances from Federal Home Loan Bank and fund the decrease in time deposits, with total uses of cash from financing activities totaling $154 million. Cash and cash equivalents of $149 million at March 31, 1996 were $12 million less than at March 31, 1995. 18 Shareholders' Equity and Capital Adequacy The capital to asset ratio was 7.2% on March 31, 1996 as measured by shareholders' equity of $391 million and assets of $5.420 billion. ONBANCorp's capital ratios exceed all regulatory requirements including the total risk adjust capital ratio of 15.3% which is almost double the regulatory requirements of 8.0%. 19 PART II.
