INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 and 1999 (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Financial Institutions. Inc. (the "Company") is a bank holding company that was formed in 1931. The Company owns four commercial banks that operate in Western and Central New York State: Wyoming County Bank ("WCB"), The National Bank of Geneva ("NBG"), The Pavilion State Bank ("PSB"), and First Tier Bank & Trust ("FTB") (collectively the "Banks"). The Company is also the parent company of The FI Group, Inc. ("FIGI"), a brokerage subsidiary that commenced operations on March 22, 2000. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Banks and the Company's non-banking subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods indicated. The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share calculations are identical in the periods presented, as there are, currently, no instruments having a dilutive effect. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows: Income Shares Per Share Amount - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Income for three months ended March 31, 2000 $4,294,000 Less: Preferred Stock Dividends 374,000 ---------- BASIC EPS AND DILUTED EPS 3,920,000 11,016,052 $0.36 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Income for three months ended March 31, 1999 $3,746,000 Less: Preferred Stock Dividends 376,000 ---------- BASIC EPS AND DILUTED EPS 3,370,000 9,915,600 $0.34 ========================================================================================== 5 3.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities, with the instruments measured at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative and the type of risk being hedged. SFAS No. 133's effective date was deferred in June 1999 by FASB's issuance of SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" and is now effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, although earlier adoption is permitted. Based upon current activities, the adoption of this statement will not have an effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. SFAS No. 133 also permits a reclassification of securities to the available for sale category from the held to maturity category, at the time the standard is adopted. 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION Segments are determined based upon the individual subsidiary banks. Reportable segments are comprised of WCB, NBG, PSB and FTB as the Company evaluates performance on an individual bank basis.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This quarterly report contains certain "forward-looking statements" covered by the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used or incorporated by reference in the Company's disclosure documents, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "target," "goal" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to changes in (1) general economic conditions, (2) the real estate markets, and (3) interest rates. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected or projected. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectation with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The purpose of this discussion is to present material changes in the Company's financial condition and results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to supplement the information in the consolidated financial statements included in this report. The following table presents certain information and ratios that management of the Company considers important in evaluating the Company's performance: At or For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 1999 $ Change % Change ---------- ---------- --------- -------- Per common share data: Net income - basic $0.36 $0.34 $0.02 5.9% Net income - diluted $0.36 $0.34 $0.02 5.9% Cash dividends declared $0.10 $0.0755 $0.0245 32.5% Book value $9.20 $8.13 $1.07 13.2% Tangible book value $8.94 $7.76 $1.18 15.2% Common shares outstanding: Weighted average shares - diluted 11,016,052 9,915,600 Period end 11,006,733 9,915,600 Performance ratios, annualized: Return on average assets 1.55% 1.55% Return on average common equity 15.69% 17.05% Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) 5.00% 4.94% Efficiency ratio 46.68% 47.74% Asset quality ratios: Excluding impact of government guarantees on portion of loan portfolio: Nonperforming loans to total loans 0.88% 0.93% Nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate 0.99% 1.22% Net loan charge-offs to average loans (annualized) 0.18% 0.14% Allowance for loan losses to total loans 1.51% 1.49% Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans 171.97% 160.90% Including impact of government guarantees on portion of loan portfolio: Nonperforming loans to total loans 0.79% 0.71% Nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate 0.90% 1.00% Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans 192.07% 211.00% Capital ratios: Average common equity to average total assets 8.99% 8.15% Leverage ratio 10.81% 9.63% Tier 1 risk based capital ratio 14.72% 13.89% Risk-based capital ratio 15.97% 15.15% Intangible assets to tangible common equity 2.96% 4.87% 9 The Company's net income for the first quarter of 2000 increased 14.6% to $4,294,000 compared to $3,746,000 for the first quarter of 1999. Earnings per share rose 5.9% to $.36 for the first quarter of 2000 from $.34 in the first quarter of 1999. Return on average common equity was 15.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to 17.05% in the same period in 1999. Net interest income increased 17.3% to $12,685,000 for the first quarter of 2000 compared to $10,816,000 for the first quarter of 1999. The increase resulted from a 14.1% growth in average earning assets and a 6 basis point increase in net interest margin. Average earning assets for the first quarter of 2000 increased to $1,062.4 million from $931.0 million in the first quarter of 1999. Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2000 was 5.00% compared to 4.94% for the same period in 1999. Noninterest income of $2,069,000 for the first quarter of 2000 increased 13.4% from $1,825,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase is principally derived from deposit service charges at all four Banks plus increased trust fee income from the National Bank of Geneva that began offering trust services late in the fourth quarter of 1999. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2000 was up 14.0% to $7,207,000 from $6,321,000 for the first quarter of 1999. The increase is associated primarily with staffing levels from expanding lending activities, technological expenditures associated with expanding the Company's product line and distribution channels and the opening of a new branch office in a contiguous market. The Company has effectively deployed resources whereby the Company's efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2000 was 46.68% compared to 47.74% for the same period a year ago. Provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2000 was $835,000 compared to $525,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in provision for loan losses is primarily attributed to the growth in the loan portfolio. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2000 were $7.8 million, a decrease of 3.1% from $8.1 million at March 31, 1999. When including the impact of government guarantees, nonperforming assets at March 31, 2000 were $7.1 million compared to $6.6 million at March 31, 1999. At March 31, 2000 the Company had total assets of $1,144.9 million, an increase of 0.7% from $1,136.5 million at December 31, 1999. Loans increased 3.2% to $788.2 million at March 31, 2000 from $763.7 million at December 31, 1999. Total deposits were $949.4 million at the recent quarter-end, compared with $949.5 million at December 31, 1999 which reflect normal seasonal trends for the Company. Total shareholders' equity increased 1.3% to $119.1 million at March 31, 2000, from $117.5 million at December 31, 1999. Book value per common share at March 31, 2000 was $9.20, an increase of 1.7% from $9.05 at December 31, 1999. Tangible book value per common share was $8.94 at March 31, 2000, an increase of 1.9% from $8.77 at December 31, 1999. 10 SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of average balances, interest income from average interest-earning assets, interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting yields and rates.

The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to: (1) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by the current year rate); (2) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by the prior year volume); and (3) the net change. The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and changes due to rate. 1st Quarter 2000 Compared to 1st Quarter 1999 (Dollars in thousands) --------------------------------------------- Increase (Decrease) Due to ---------------------------- Total Increase Volume Rate (Decrease) ------ ------ -------------- Interest-earning assets: Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits $(123) $15 $(108) Investment securities 485 103 588 Loans: Commercial 595 173 768 Commercial real estate 718 38 756 Agricultural 673 169 842 Residential real estate 298 (202) 96 Consumer and home equity 556 (58) 498 ------ ----- ------ Total loans 2,840 120 2,960 ------ ----- ------ Total interest-earning assets 3,202 238 3,440 ------ ----- ------ Interest-bearing liabilities Interest-bearing checking 43 (11) 32 Savings and money market 99 17 116 Certificates of deposit 692 178 870 Borrowed funds 489 29 518 ------ ----- ------ Total interest-bearing liabilities 1,323 213 1,536 ------ ----- ------ Net interest income $1,879 $ 25 $1,904 ====== ===== ====== 12 Year 2000 ("Y2K") Concerns over the arrival of the Year 2000 ("Y2K") and its impact on the embedded computer technologies used by financial institutions, among others, led bank regulatory authorities to require substantial advance testing and preparations by all banking organizations, including the Company. As of the date of this filing, the Company has experienced no problems in connection with Y2K, either in connection with the services and products it provides to its customers or in connection with the services and products it receives from third party vendors or suppliers. Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company realizes income principally from the differential or spread between the interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earnings assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Loan volumes and yields, as well as the volume of and rates on investments, deposits and borrowings, are affected by market interest rates. Additionally, because of the terms and conditions of many of the Company's loan documents and deposit accounts, a change in interest rates could also affect the projected maturities of the loan portfolio and/or the deposit base, which could alter the Company's sensitivity to future changes in interest rates. Accordingly, management considers interest rate risk to be the Company's most significant market risk. Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income within Board approved policy limits while taking into consideration, among other factors, the Company's overall credit, operating income, operating cost, and capital profile. The Company's Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), which includes senior management and reports to the Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk to maintain an acceptable level of change to net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Management of the Company's interest rate risk requires the selection of appropriate techniques and instruments to be utilized after considering the benefits, costs and risks associated with available alternatives. Since the Company does not utilize derivative instruments, management's techniques usually consider one or more of the following: (1) interest rates offered on products, (2) maturity terms offered on products, (3) types of products offered, and (4) products available to the Company in the wholesale market such as advances from the FHLB. The Company uses a net interest income and economic value of equity model as one method to identify and manage its interest rate risk profile. The model is based on expected cash flows and repricing characteristics for all financial instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on these financial instruments. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies. The Company has experienced no significant changes in market risk due to changes in interest rates since the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 1999 dated March 28, 2000 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management also uses the static gap analysis to identify and manage the Company's interest rate risk profile. Interest sensitivity gap ("gap") analysis measures the difference between the assets and liabilities repricing or maturing within specific time periods. 13 PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, INC.
