(1)    Excludes goodwill and other intangibles.
(2)    Averages presented are daily averages.
(3)    Net of deferred costs and unearned discounts.
(4)    With the adoption of SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangibles" on
       January 1, 2002, the Company is no longer required to amortize goodwill.
       Accordingly, for the prior periods presented, goodwill amortization has
       been excluded from adjusted amounts for consistency purposes. The
       remaining amortization relates to identifiable intangible assets (ie.
       Customer lists).
(5)    First Niagara Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is subject
       to special provisions in the New York State tax law that allows it to
       deduct on its tax return bad debt expenses in excess of those actually
       incurred based on a specified formula ("excess reserve"). The Company is
       required to repay this excess reserve if it does not maintain a certain
       percentage of qualified assets (primarily residential mortgages and
       mortgage-backed securities) to total assets, as prescribed by the tax
       law. For accounting purposes, the Company is required to record a tax
       liability for the recapture of this excess reserve when it can no longer
       assert that the test will continue to be passed for the "foreseeable
       future." As a result of the decision to combine its three banks, the
       Company can no longer make this assertion and accordingly, recorded a
       $1.8 million tax liability in the second quarter. It is anticipated that
       this tax liability will be repaid over the next 10 - 15 years.
(6)    Computed based upon the period end closing stock price.
(7)    Excludes net gain/loss on sale of securities available for sale.
