PART I

Item 1. Business

Canandaigua National Corporation

The Canandaigua National Corporation, referred to as The Corporation, was
organized on October 31, 1984, and registered under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, for the purpose of becoming a one-bank holding company. The
formation of the bank holding company was consummated on May 31, 1985, through
the exchange of 80,000 shares of Canandaigua National Corporation $50 par value
common stock for all of the outstanding shares of The Canandaigua National Bank
and Trust Company. The one-bank holding company serves as a means of
increasing the scope of banking and financial services in the market area
served by The Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Company. The Corporation
acquired Greater Funding of New York, Inc. (GFNYI) d/b/a Greater Funding, the
Mortgage Company during 1996 BY purchasing its remaining 66.3% shares not owned
by the Company. GFNYI offers mortgage products that the bank is not licensed
to offer, therefore offering their customer base a larger range of products.
GFNYI is engaged in underwriting and funding mortgages in western New York
State. GFNYI typically resells residential mortgages to entities, which
service the loans. The Bank will remain the principal source of the
Corporation's operating revenue and net income.

The Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Company

The Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Company ("Bank") was incorporated
under the laws of The United States of America as a national bank in 1887.
Since that time, Bank has operated as a national banking association doing
business at several locations in Ontario County and at its Branch locations in
the town of Mendon and Village of Pittsford in Monroe County, New York.

As of December 31, 1996, Bank had total assets of approximately
$360,623,000; total stockholders' equity of approximately $39,119,000; and
total deposits of approximately $307,966,000. Its deposits are insured through
the Bank Insurance Fund by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Bank engages in a full service commercial and consumer banking and trust
business. Bank, with its main office at 72 South Main Street, Canandaigua, New
York, provides services to its customers through its network of ten branches
which include drive-in facilities and customer Bank communication terminals.
Bank's full service offices are located in Ontario County and in the town of
Mendon and Village of Pittsford in Monroe County, New York.

Bank's services include accepting time, demand and savings deposits, NOW
accounts, regular savings accounts, money market certificates, investment
certificates, fixed rate certificates of deposit and club accounts. Its
services also include making secured and unsecured commercial and consumer
loans, financing commercial transactions either directly or through regional
industrial development corporations, making construction and mortgage loans
and the renting of safe deposit facilities. Additional services include
making residential mortgage loans, revolving credit loans with overdraft
checking protection, small business loans, and student loans. Bank's
business loans include seasonal, credit, collateral, and term loans. Trust
services provided by Bank include services as executor and trustee under


Item 1. Business

The Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Company - continued

wills and deeds, as guardian and custodian and as trustee and agent for
pension, profit sharing, individual retirement account and other employee
benefit trusts as well as various investment, pension and estate planning
services. Trust services also include service as transfer agent and registrar
of Canandaigua National Corporation stock and as paying agent for various bond
issues and as escrow agent. In 1995 the Bank formed a subsidiary (CNB
Operating Subsidiary No.1, Inc.). The primary business of this company is to
sell life insurance to individuals. This company is an agency only. During
1996 the Bank purchased the Burlingham Agency, Inc. The primary business of
this company is to sell life insurance to individuals. This company is an
agency only. The Bank purchased Burlingham Agency to gain access to an already
established business with a customer base. By this purchase the Bank can offer
a full line of products.

Bank has a relatively stable deposit base and no material amount of
deposits are obtained from a single depositor or group of depositors (including
federal, state and local governments). Bank has not experienced any
significant seasonal fluctuations in the amount of its deposits nor does Bank
rely on foreign sources of funds or income.

Territory Served and Competition

All phases of Bank's business are highly competitive. Bank's market area
is generally Ontario County, with concentration in the Canandaigua, New York
area. Bank competes with local commercial banks as well as other commercial
banks with branches in Bank's market area as well as federal savings and loan
associations and non-bank banks and credit unions. Bank considers its
competition to be Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., Key Bank, National Bank of
Geneva, Community Bank, N.A., and WCTA Federal Credit Union located in
Canandaigua, New York and Sears Financial Network Center and Fleet Bank,
located in Rochester, New York.

Bank, along with other commercial banks, competes with respect to its
lending activities as well as in attracting demand deposits, with savings
banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, regulated small loan
companies, non-bank banks and credit unions. Bank also competes with
insurance companies, investment counseling firms, mutual funds and other
business firms and individuals in corporate trust and investment management
services.

Bank is generally competitive with all financial institutions in its
service area with respect to interest rates paid on time and savings deposits
and interest rates charged on loans and service charges on deposit accounts.
Bank employed 204 people as of December 31, 1996.




Supervision and Regulation

Canandaigua National Corporation is incorporated under the laws of the
State of New York and is directly supervised by the Federal Reserve Bank under
the laws governing one-bank holding companies. In addition, the Corporation
reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the laws governing
corporations with registered securities.

As a national bank and member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is
subject to regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As an insured bank under the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act, Bank is also regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. Representatives of the Comptroller of the Currency regularly
conduct examinations of Bank's affairs and records, and Bank must furnish
quarterly reports to the Comptroller.

Government Monetary Policies and Economic Controls

The earnings of Bank are affected by the policies of regulatory
authorities including the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
An important function of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate the money
supply and interest rates. Among the instruments used to implement these
objectives are open market operations in U.S. Government Securities, changes in
reserve requirements against member bank deposits, and changes in the federal
discount rate. These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence
overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and
their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.

The policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board have had, and
will probably continue to have, a significant effect on Bank's deposits, loans
and investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned and paid, and are
expected to affect Bank's operations in the future. The effect of such
policies and regulations, if any, upon the future business and earnings of Bank
cannot accurately be predicted.

dollar amounts of the change in each.

B. Maturities and Sensitivities of Loans to Changes in Interest Rates

The following table sets forth the maturities and sensitivity to changes in
interest rates of the loan portfolio exclusive of real estate mortgage and
installment loans as of December 31, 1996.

Remaining Maturity
Within One Through Over
One Year Five Years Five Years Total
(Dollars In Thousands)

Commercial, financial
and agricultural $10,268 $ 7,926 $9,309 $27,503
Loans maturing after one year:
With a predetermined interest
rate $ 8,729
With a floating or adjustable rate $ 8,506

The maturities set forth above are based upon contracted maturities. Demand
loans, overdrafts and certain time loans, the principal of which will be
renewed in whole or in part, are included in the "Within One Year"
classification. The loan policy encourages a repayment schedule to be set
up whenever possible.



B. Maturities and Sensitivities of Loans to Changes
In Interest Rates - continued

Bank policy provides that a demand loan should not be renewed more than
once, with renewals at the then prevailing interest rates and with the
assurance the borrower demonstrates the ability to repay on maturity of the
loan.

The Bank provides standby letters of credit commitments which also provide
for availability of funds over a period of generally one year. All such
commitments have fixed expiration dates and may require the payment of a
fee.

The Bank extends lines of credit under which a customer may borrow for
various purposes such as letters of credit. The extension of these
commitments and lines of credit have been in the normal course of business.
In the opinion of Management, at December 31, 1996, there are no material
commitments to extend credit which represent unusual risks.


C. Risk Elements

(1) Non-accrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans

The risk elements in the loan portfolio are disclosed in the following

Restructured Loans $0 $0 $0 $393 $393


The accrual of interest on commercial and real estate loans is
discontinued when the loans become 90 days delinquent or when, in management's
judgment, the collection of principal and interest is uncertain. Recognition
of interest income on non-accrual loans does not resume until management
considers principal and interest collectible. Installment loans are generally
charged off upon becoming 120 days past due.

Additional gross income of $841,000, $739,000, and $496,000 would have
been reported during 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively, if the loans reported
above as non-accrual and restructured loans had been current in accordance with
the original terms.

(2) Potential Problem Loans

Loans which are not disclosed pursuant to Item III C. (1), but where known
information about credit problems of borrowers causes Management to have
serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present
loan repayment terms which may result in disclosure in Item III C. (1) above
amounted to $325,071 as of December 31, 1995. There were no potential problem
loans as of December 31, 1996.

The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on an analysis of
the loan portfolio and reflects an amount which, in management's judgment, is
adequate to provide for loan losses. This analysis is based on management's
periodic evaluation, which considers factors such as past loss experience,
identification of adverse conditions that may affect a borrower's ability to
repay, an assessment of current and expected economic conditions and the
estimated value of any underlying collateral. The allowance for loan losses is
applicable for any loan losses despite the allocation provided above. In
addition, future allocations may change due to circumstances inherent in the
loan portfolio

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about
Canandaigua National Corporation's financial condition and results of
operations which is not otherwise apparent from the consolidated financial
statements in the annual report. Reference should be made to those statements
and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report for an
understanding of the following discussion and analysis.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash
to meet the demand for cash from depositors who wish to withdraw funds,
borrowers who require funds to meet their credit needs, and the need for
operating funds and capital expansion.

Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net
interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income
through periods of changing interest rates. Thus liquidity and interest rate
sensitivity must be jointly managed through asset/liability policy to provide
optimum results for the Corporation.

Asset liquidity is found in cash, federal funds sold, deposits with other
financial institutions, short term security holdings, and loan repayments. On
average for 1996, federal funds sold, cash and due from banks, and interest
bearing deposits with other banks totaled $22.2 million. The securities
portfolio is also an important source of liquidity. As of December 31, 1996,
approximately $29.9 million amortized cost of the portfolio will be mature in
one year or less. Combining these two major sources of liquidity, the
Corporation had $52.1 million of readily available assets, which is 15.6% of
average assets for 1996. Management believes that liquidity needs are
adequately addressed, but also has short term and long term borrowings
available from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities. In general, short term interest
sensitive assets, such as loans tied to the prime rate, will have greater
sensitivity than fixed rate home mortgages or securities due in over one year.
Similarly, money market and passbook savings accounts have more sensitivity
than certificates of deposit maturing after one year. The Corporation has
chosen to limit both its asset and liability exposure in longer term time
frames so as to avoid large mismatches of assets and liabilities that could
cause large earnings swings.

During 1996, increased consumer lending which was not supported by deposit
growth but by short-term borrowings led to a decline in the Rate Sensitive
Assets/Rate Sensitive Liabilities equation. The Corporation believes this
mismatch will continue for sometime and is aware of its challenge to interest
rate risk.



The following chart indicates rate sensitivity at December 31, 1996:

The chart indicates that the Corporation was repricing $101.6 million more
of interest earning liabilities than interest bearing assets in the 0-3 month
range. This gap is not considered to be a problem, as a good portion of the
savings balances are not considered sensitive to rate change. However, the
Corporation will be challenged in a rising interest rate environment to
maintain its interest margins. For the 4-12 month period, the Corporation is
modestly liability sensitive, as $6.0 million more of interest bearing
liabilities are being repriced than interest earning assets. For the entire
one year range, the Corporation is repricing $107.6 million more interest
bearing liabilities than assets, or 32.68% of earning assets. This liability
sensitivity has increased from $58.3 million and 20.21% of earning assets last
year. The imbalance was due to the increase in short-term certificates of
deposit and short-term borrowings to fund loans with a longer maturity. The
Corporation is asset sensitive at $117.4 million for the one to five year
range, as interest earning assets increased $33.4 million from last year's
amounts, along with an interest bearing liabilities increase of $.6 million.

For the entire portfolio range, the Corporation is asset sensitive at
$68.0 million versus asset sensitivity of $61.3 million last year. With
interest rate forecasts continuing to suggest declines, our earnings should be
favorably impacted if we can continue to cut liability rates at the same pace
as earning assets. We will have some difficulty, however, as short term
liability rates are at or near historic lows. Continued declines could lead to
deposit outflows, as investors seek higher returns in other available products.
We may have to limit our liability rate decreases in order to continue to fund
the bank, and that may have a slightly negative impact on historic spreads.
Hopefully increasing lending will offset some of the decline.

Capital Resources
Total Stockholders' equity at December 31, 1996, was $39,119,000,
representing an increase of $1,722,000 (or 4.6%) over 1995. Primary capital,
defined as shareholders equity plus loan loss reserve, was $41,794,000 at
December 31, 1996, or 11.59% of average assets versus $39,655,000 or 12.50% of
average assets at December 31, 1995.

The Federal Reserve Board standards require banks and bank holding
companies to maintain capital based on "risk adjusted" assets so that
categories of assets with potentially higher credit risk will require more
capital backing 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 loan commitments
and interest rate swaps. Capital is classified into two tiers. Tier 1 capital
consists of common shareholders' equity, non-cumulative and cumulative
perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests less goodwill and less net
unrealized gain on securities available for sale. Tier 2 capital consists of
allowances for loan and lease losses, hybrid capital instruments, term
subordinated debt, and intermediate-term preferred stock. All banks are
required to meet a minimum ratio of 8% of qualifying total capital to risk
adjusted total assets with at least 4% Tier 1 capital.



The table below illustrates the Corporation's regulatory capital ratio
at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995:

1996 1995
(dollars in thousands)

Tier 1 Capital $ 39,119 $ 37,397
Tier 2 Capital $ 2,675 $ 2,258
Total Qualifying Capital $41,794 $ 39,655

Risk Adjusted Total Assets $247,846 $213,442

Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio 15.70% 17.50%
Total Risk Based Capital Ratio 16.78% 18.55%
Leverage Ratio 11.11% 10.48%

As shown in the table, the Corporation's Tier 1 Risk Based Capital has
grown 4.6%, and Total Risk Based Capital has increased 5.4% from year end 1995
levels.

The leverage ratio (Tier 1 Capital divided by total assets less goodwill)
must be at least 3%. The Corporation's leverage ratio was 11.11% as of
December 31, 1996.

The capital ratios of the Corporation are strongly in excess of minimum
regulatory requirements, indicating an ability to meet customer demand and
market competition, while providing sufficient earnings to strengthen the
capital base annually. The Corporation believes that its strong capital base
will allow it to continue a reasonable dividend payment.

Dividends
Payments of dividends by the Bank to the Company is limited or restricted
in certain circumstances. According to federal banking law, the approval of
the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required for the declaration
of dividends in any year which dividends exceed the total of net income for
that year plus retained income for the preceding two years. At December 31,
1996, approximately $7,094,000 was available for payment of dividends to the
Company.

Cash dividends for 1996 amounted to $1,414,000, an increase of $287,000 or
11.2% over the $1,127,000 paid in 1995. Dividends paid were 48.0% and 28.8% of
1996 and 1995 earnings respectively.

Results of Operations
Net interest income is the difference between interest received from
earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. It is
affected by both the volume and rates applied to both earnings assets and
liabilities, and therefore, is an effective measurement of how well management
has balanced and reacted to the Corporation's interest rate sensitive assets
and liabilities.


For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Corporation had $307.8 million
average earning assets, up $12.5 million or 4.2% from the year earlier.
Average interest bearing liabilities were $244.8 million for 1996, up $8.3
million or 3.5% from 1995. The increase in earning assets reflects the
expansion of our indirect product into the Rochester, NY area. Liability
growth has begun, due to the Company borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank
to fund the asset growth. While being mindful of the Corporation's customers'
needs, management was able to increase net interest income for 1996 to $16.7
million, up from $16.0 million for 1995, reflecting an increase of 4.38% for
1996.

The yield on interest earning assets was 8.29% in 1996, down from 8.41% in
1995. Cost of funds decreased, to 3.59% from 3.72% in 1995. Management
continued to stress the cost and size control of liabilities during 1996, and
therefore the net yield increased to 4.70% from 4.69% in 1995. Net interest
income as a percentage of earning assets (net interest rate margin) remained
the same at 5.43%, as the $673,000 increase in net interest income was derived
from successfully managing the changing interest rate environment during the
year, in conjunction with the previously mentioned increase in total earning
assets. Management believes these results are an indication that its interest
rate sensitivity planning is functioning well.

The provision for loan losses in 1996 was $1,490,000, up $459,000 from
1995. The allowance for loan loss as of December 31, 1996 was $2.7 million, or
1.03% of loans outstanding at year end 1996. This ratio is slightly lower than
that of 1995 (1.08%). The cause for the decrease of this ratio is due to the
large increase of the loan portfolio in 1996 of $47.5 million. Also, charge-
offs rose to $1,637,000 in 1996 from $1,229,000 in 1995, recoveries of loans
charged off increased to $564,000 in 1996 from $254,000 in 1995. Management
believes its ability to properly manage the loan portfolio and current loan
loss policies are effective.

The Corporation`s investment portfolio book value fell to $70.0 million at
December 31, 1996 from $70.5 million at December 31, 1995, reflecting a
decrease of .71%.

Other income for 1996 increased to $3.9 million from $3.4 million,
reflecting an increase of $521,000 or 15.4%. Service charges on deposit
accounts were up $57,000 to $1,661,000. Other operating income for 1996 rose
to $940,000 from $678,000 reflecting an increase of $262,000. Strong demand
for our trust services in our traditional markets as well as in our new
Pittsford location led to an increase of Trust Income to $1,337,000 up from
$1,071,000 in 1995.

Operating expenses totaled $15.1 million, up 18.9% from $12.7 million in
1995. Salaries and employee benefits rose $1.4 million as the Corporation
expanded several product areas and purchased two non-traditional financial
service providers. Other operating expenses rose $1 million due to increases
in other real estate expenses and other costs associated with the growing loan
portfolio.

The rate of return on average assets (ROA) and the rate of return on
average equity are a good measure of the Corporation's results. For the year
1996, return on average assets dropped from 1.26% to .84%. Return on average
equity was 7.9% in 1996 compared to 10.88% in 1995. The decline in ROA was a
result of increase in staff which was required for our expansion into new
geographic areas as well as new business ventures. The decline in return on
equity is due to the decrease in earnings as well as the rapid growth of the
Corporation's capital. Management believes the Corporation remains quite
healthy.

Accounting Standards

In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 125 is effective
for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996 and is to be applied
prospectively. This Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses
on control. It distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from
transfers that are secured borrowings. Management of the Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS No. 125 will have a material impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

(a) Cash Compensation

The information required to be included herein regarding executive compensation
pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K is included under the caption "Executive
Compensation" in registrants definitive proxy statement on page 6 and is
incorporated herein by reference.

During the year ended December 31, 1996, officers of the Corporation did not
receive any compensation from the Corporation for services rendered in such
capacity. All of the above compensation was paid by the Bank for services
rendered in the course of their employment with the bank.

(b) Compensation Pursuant to Plans

The Bank has a non-contributory, profit sharing plan covering substantially all
full-time employees who have completed one year of service, subject to a
minimum number of hours of service with the Bank. Contributions to the profit
sharing plan by the Bank are allocated among eligible participants in the
proportion that each participant's "points" for the calendar year bear to the
total "points" awarded for the calendar year. Participants are awarded one
point for each full calendar year of employment and one point for each $100 of
compensation paid such participant during that year. Voluntary contributions
may be made and invested in a separate "Voluntary Account" in which the
participant is always fully vested. Participants become fully-vested with non-
contributory allocations upon: reaching the age of 65, disability, death, or
7 years of service as defined by the plan. If employment is otherwise
terminated, partial vesting will be accorded depending upon the participant's
years of service. Retirement and death benefits may be distributed in a cash
lump sum or a series of equal installments, payable at least annually, over a
period selected by the Profit Sharing Plan Committee. The amounts contributed
to the profit sharing plan by the Bank in 1996, 1995, and 1994 were $658,000,
$639,000, and $641,000 respectively.

The Corporation has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for employees of
its wholly-owned subsidiary, and executive officers are members of the plan.
Contributions to the ESOP are allocated among eligible participants in the
proportion that each participant's gross compensation bears to total
compensation of all participants. Contributions to the plan for 1996, 1995,
and 1994 were $52,000, $46,000, and $33,900 respectively.


The Corporation has an incentive stock plan for senior management of the
Corporation. Annual contributions are made based on performance factors
