PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS

(a) General development of business

Chemung Financial Corporation (Corporation) was incorporated on January 2,
1985, under the laws of the State of New York. The Corporation was
organized for the purpose of acquiring a majority holding of Chemung Canal
Trust Company (Bank). The Bank was established in 1833 under the name
Chemung Canal Bank, and was subsequently granted a New York State bank
charter in 1895. In 1902, the Bank was reorganized as a New York State
trust company under the name Elmira Trust Company, which name was changed
to Chemung Canal Trust Company in 1903.

On June 1, 1985, after the approval by the New York State Superintendent of
Banks and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the Plan
of Acquisition and holding company application, the Bank became a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Corporation. There have been no material changes
in the mode of conducting business of either the Corporation or the Bank
since the acquisition of the Bank by the Corporation.

The Corporation is subject to applicable federal laws relating to bank
holding companies as well as federal securities laws, State Corporation Law
and State Banking Law.

The Corporation and the Bank are engaged only in banking and bank-related
businesses. Exhibits I through V included in the Corporation's Annual
Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1999, sets forth
financial information with respect to bank-related industry segments. The
MD&A including Exhibits I through V are incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Narrative description of business

Business

The Bank is a New York State chartered, independent commercial bank, which
engages in full-service commercial and consumer banking and trust business.
The Bank's services include accepting time, demand and savings deposits
including NOW accounts, Super NOW accounts, regular savings accounts,
insured money market accounts, 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 participating with regional
industrial development and community lending corporations, making
commercial, residential and home equity mortgage loans, revolving credit
loans with overdraft checking protection, small business loans and student
loans. Additional services include renting of safe deposit facilities,

of networked automated teller facilities.

Trust services provided by the Bank include services as executor, trustee

reference.

There have been no material changes in the manner of doing business by the
Corporation or the Bank during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

major metropolitan-based banks), as well as stock savings banks and credit

to legal counsel, or in the case of a commercial loan which becomes 90
days delinquent, or in the case of consumer, mortgage or home equity
loans not guaranteed by a government agency which becomes 120 days
delinquent, the loan is placed in non-accrual and previously accrued
interest is reversed unless, because of collateral or other
circumstances, it is deemed to be collectible. Loans may also be
placed in non-accrual if management believes such classification is
warranted for other reasons.



Potential Problem Loans

At December 31, 1999, the Corporation has no commercial loans for which

year

Ratio of net charge-offs during period
to average loans outstanding .15% . 14% .23% .24% .11%


(1) The amount charged to operations and the related balance in
the allowance for loan losses is based upon periodic
evaluations of the loan portfolio by management. These
evaluations consider several factors including, but not
limited to, general economic conditions, loan portfolio
composition, prior loan loss experience, growth in the loan
portfolio and management's estimation of future potential
losses. The risk elements in the various portfolio
categories are not considered to be any greater in 1999 than
in prior years. The net charge-offs to total loans have
averaged 0.17% over the last five years and the highest
percentage in any of those years was 0.24%.

(2) Daily balances were used to compute average outstanding
loan balances.



The allocated portions of the allowance reflect management's
estimates of specific known risk elements in the respective
portfolios. Among the factors considered in allocating portions
of the allowance by loan type are the current levels of past due,
non-accrual and impaired loans. The unallocated portion of the
allowance represents risk elements in the loan portfolio that
have not been specifically identified. Factors considered in
determining the appropriate level of unallocated allowance
include historical loan loss history, current economic
conditions, and expectations for loan growth. The following
table summarizes the Corporation's allocation of the loan loss
allowance for each year in the five-year period ended December
31, 1999:
