1.) Management Representation:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
2.) Reclassifications:
Certain items contained in the 1997 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the presentation for 1998. Such reclassifications
had no effect on the net results of operations.
3.) Investment Securities:
Securities classified as held to maturity are those that management
has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities held to
maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts, with such amortization or accretion included in
interest income.
Securities classified as available for sale are those that could be
sold for liquidity, investment management, or similar reasons even though
management has no present intentions to do so. Securities available for sale
are carried at fair value using the specific identification method. Changes in
the unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are recorded
net of tax effect as a component of comprehensive income.
Trading securities are principally held with the intention of selling
in the near term. Trading securities are carried at fair value with changes in
fair value reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

4.) Concentration of Credit Risk and Off Balance Sheet Risk:
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Such instruments involve,
to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized
on the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments
reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of
financial instruments.
In the event of nonperformance by the other party, the Company's
exposure to credit loss on these financial instruments is represented by the
contract or notional amount of the instrument. The Company uses the same
credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does
for instruments recorded on the balance sheet. The amount and nature of
collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation.
CONTRACT OR
NOTIONAL AMOUNT
--------------------------
June 30, December 31,

Financial instruments whose contract
amount represents credit risk:
Commitments to extend credit:
Fixed rate $ 6,620 $ 6,241
Variable 24,524 36,774
Standby letters of credit 385 361
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Generally
these financial arrangements have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The Company, through its subsidiary bank, grants residential,
consumer and commercial loans, and also offers a variety of saving plans to
customers located primarily in its immediate lending area. The following
represents the composition of the loan portfolio:

1998 1997

1-4 family residential mortgages 43.8% 43.1%
Commercial mortgages 28.8% 27.1%
Consumer loans 10.3% 10.3%
Commercial loans 12.3% 14.1%
Home equity loans 4.8% 5.4%
Included in 1-4 family residential mortgages as of June 30, 1998 are
$3,357 of mortgage loans held for sale in the secondary market. Loans held for
sale at December 31, 1997 totaled $1,756.
The following table sets forth the aggregate balance of
underperforming loans for each of the following categories at June 30, 1998
and June 30, 1997:

nonaccrual basis $1,014 $1,487

The following shows the amounts of contractual interest income and
interest income actually reflected in income on loans accounted for on a
nonaccrual basis and loans considered troubled debt restructuring as of June
30, 1998.
Gross interest income that would have been recorded if the loans had been
current in accordance with their original terms $94
Interest income actually included in income on the loans 23
A loan is placed on a nonaccrual basis whenever sufficient
information is received to question the collectibility of the loan or any time
legal proceedings are initiated involving a loan. When a loan is charged-off,
any interest that has been accrued and not collected on the loan is charged
against earnings.
Impaired loans are generally included in nonaccrual loans. Management
does not individually evaluate certain smaller balance loans for impairment as
such loans are evaluated on an aggregate basis. These loans include 1 - 4
family , consumer and home equity loans. Impaired loans were evaluated using
the fair value of collateral as the measurement method. At June 30, 1998, the
recorded investment in impaired loans was $816 while the related portion of
the allowance for loan losses was $158.
As of June 30, 1998, there were $2,149 in loans, not included in the
above categories and not considered impaired, but which can be considered
potential problem loans. The Small Business Administration has guaranteed $217
of this total. The portion of the allowance for loan losses related to these
potential problem loans was $200.
Any loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful,
substandard, or special mention that have not been disclosed above do not (i)
represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably
expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital
resources, or (ii) represent material credits about which management is aware
of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the
ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

For each of the periods presented above, the provision for loan
losses charged to operations is based on management's judgment after taking
into consideration all known factors connected with the collectibility of the
existing portfolio. Management evaluates the portfolio in light of economic
conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, industry
standards and other relevant factors. Specific factors considered by
management in determining the amounts charged to operations include previous
loan loss experience, the status of past due interest and principal payments,
the quality of financial information supplied by the customers and the general
economic condition present in the lending area of the Company's bank
subsidiary.

5.) Legal Proceedings:
The Company's subsidiary bank was a defendant in a class action
lawsuit Frank Slentz, et al. v. Cortland Savings and Banking Company,
involving purchased interests in two campgrounds.
On October 20, 1997 the judge presiding over this case filed a
judgment entry dismissing all claims against the Bank without prejudice. The
judgment was appealed by the plaintiffs. The ultimate outcome of this
litigation presently cannot be determined, and therefore no provision for any
liability relative to such litigation has been made in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
The Bank is also involved in other legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of
these matters is not expected to have any material effect on the Company.

Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
- -----------------------------------------
In addition to historical information contained herein, the following
discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Economic circumstances, the Company's operations and actual
results could differ significantly from those discussed in any forward-looking
statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences are changes in the economy and interest rates in the Company's
market area.
Liquidity
- ---------
The central role of the Company's liquidity management is to (1)
ensure sufficient liquid funds to meet the normal transaction requirements of
its customers, (2) take advantage of market opportunities requiring
flexibility and speed, and (3) provide a cushion against unforeseen liquidity
needs.
Principal sources of liquidity for the Company include assets
considered relatively liquid, such as interest-bearing deposits in other
banks, federal funds sold, cash and due from banks, as well as cash flows from
maturities and repayments of loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed
securities.
Along with its liquid assets, the Company has other sources of
liquidity available to it which help to ensure that adequate funds are
available as needed. These other sources include, but are not limited to, the
ability to obtain deposits through the adjustment of interest rates, the
purchasing of federal funds, and access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window
and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2,001 compared to year end 1997.
Operating activities provided cash of $1.4 million and $4.4 million during the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Refer to the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for a summary of the sources and uses of
cash for June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Capital Resources
- -----------------
The capital management function is a continuous process which
consists of providing capital for both the current financial position and the
anticipated future growth of the Company. Central to this process is internal
equity generation, particularly through earnings retention. Internal capital
generation is measured as the annualized rate of return on equity, exclusive
of any appreciation or depreciation relating to available for sale securities,
multiplied by the percentage of earnings retained. Internal capital generation
was 8.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to 9.2% for the
like period during 1997. Overall during the first six months of 1998, capital
grew at the annual rate of 11.1%, a figure which reflects earnings, dividends
paid, common stock issued, treasury shares purchased and the net change in the
estimated fair value of available for sale securities.
During the first six months of 1998, the Company issued 34,578 shares of
common stock (restated for the 3-for-1 common stock split effective May 15,
1998) which resulted in proceeds of $605. Of the 34,578 shares issued, 31,296
shares were issued through the Company's dividend reinvestment plan. The
remaining 3,282 shares were issued through the subsidiary bank's 401-k Plan
which offers employees the choice of investing in the common stock of the
Company as one of several participant directed investment options.
Risk-based standards for measuring capital adequacy require banks and
bank holding companies to maintain capital based on "risk-adjusted" assets.
Categories of assets with potentially higher credit risk require more capital
than assets with lower risk. In addition, banks and bank holding companies are
required to maintain capital to support, on a risk-adjusted basis, certain
off-balance sheet activities such as standby letters of credit and interest
rate swaps.

These standards also classify capital into two tiers, referred to as
Tier 1 and Tier 2. The Company's Tier 1 capital consists of common
shareholders' equity (excluding any gain or loss on available for sale debt
securities) less net unrealized loss on equity securities with readily
determinable fair values and intangible assets. Tier 2 capital is the
allowance for loan and lease losses reduced for certain regulatory
limitations. Risk based capital standards require a minimum ratio of 8% of
qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted total assets with at least 4%
constituting Tier 1 capital. Capital qualifying as Tier 2 capital is limited
to 100% of Tier 1 capital. All banks and bank holding companies are also
required to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to total
average assets) in the range of 3% to 4%, subject to regulatory guidelines.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
(FDICIA) required banking regulatory agencies to revise risk-based capital
standards to ensure that they take adequate account of the following
additional risks: interest rate, concentration of credit, and nontraditional
activities. Accordingly, regulators will subjectively consider an
institution's exposure to declines in the economic value of its capital due to
changes in interest rates in evaluating capital adequacy.
The table below illustrates the Company's risk weighted capital
ratios at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

Assets, less intangibles and the net unrealized market value
adjustment of investment securities available for sale, averaged $391,517 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and $382,785 for the year ended December
31, 1997.
First Six Months of 1998 as Compared to First Six Months of 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
During the first six months of 1998, net interest income after
provision for loan losses increased by $248 compared to the first six months
of 1997. Total interest income increased by $478 or 3.4% from the level
recorded in 1997. This was accompanied by an increase in interest expense of
$30 or 0.5%, and a provision for loan loss of $200 in 1998 compared to no
provision requirement in 1997.
The average rate paid on interest sensitive liabilities declined by 3
basis points year-over-year. The average balance of interest sensitive
liabilities increased by $3,232 or 1.1%, primarily reflecting a $10,961
increase in average borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and a $7,798
decrease in large certificates of deposit (amounts of $100,000 of more).
Interest and dividend income on securities registered a decrease of
$374 or 6.1% during the first six months of 1998 when compared to 1997. The
average invested balances declined by 3.7%, decreasing by $7,011 over the
levels of a year ago. The decrease in the average balance of investment
securities was accompanied by a 9 basis point decrease in the portfolio yield.
Interest and fees on loans increased by $818 for the first six months
of 1998 compared to 1997, representing the net effect of a $19,659 increase in
the average balance of the loan portfolio. This 11.5% year-over-year increase
was accompanied by a 13 basis point decline in yield.
Other interest income increased by $34 from the same period a year
ago due to an increase in the average balance of Federal Funds sold, which
increased by $1,198. The yield increased by 2 basis points reflecting the
steady Fed policy of the past year.

Other income from all sources increased by $131 from the same period
a year ago. Gains on 1-4 residential mortgage loans in the secondary mortgage

$43 in 1998 compared to $45 in 1997. A provision for loan loss of $200 was
charged to operations in 1998, compared to no provision charged in 1997. The
provision was booked due to increased loan volume and concerns related to
certain specific credits. At June 30, 1998, the loan loss allowance of $2,959
represented 1.5% of outstanding loans. Non accrual loans at June 30, 1998
represented 0.5% of the loan portfolio compared to 0.9% at December 31, 1997.
Total other expenses in the first six months were $5,143 in 1998
compared to $4,943 in 1997, an increase of $200 or 4.0%. Full time equivalent

effective tax rate for the first six months was 28.9% in 1998 compared to
30.9% in 1997, resulting in income tax expense of $991 and $1,008,
respectively. Net income for the first six months registered $2,440 in 1998
compared to $2,244 in 1997, representing a 7.6% increase in per share amounts
from the $0.66 earned in 1997 to the $0.71 recorded in 1998.

Income before tax for the quarter increased by 1.2% to $1,734 in 1998

New Accounting Standards
- ------------------------
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This
statement establishes standards for reporting the components of comprehensive
income and requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be included in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income as well as
certain items that are reported directly within a separate component of
shareholders' equity and bypass net income. Adoption of this standard did not
have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operation.
Year 2000
- ---------
Cortland Bancorp has established a "Year 2000 project management team" to
provide a structured format for thoroughly addressing the Year 2000 problem.
The project team seeks to ensure that the Bank's operational and financial
systems will not be adversely affected by Year 2000 software or hardware
failures, due to processing errors arising from calculations using the Year
2000 date. The Bank is requiring its computer systems and software vendors to
represent that the products provided are, or will be, Year 2000 compliant. The
Bank has planned a program of testing for compliance, and has formulated
contingency plans in the event that critical applications are inoperable on or
near the Year 2000. The Company expects to complete it's Year 2000 testing by
December 31, 1998.
