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.

Passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act during the fourth quarter of 1999 permitted qualified bank holding companies to elect to become financial holding companies and to engage in expanded financial activities. During the second quarter of 2000, Chemung Financial Corporation exercised this election, and on June 22, 2000 received approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This provides the Corporation with the flexibility to offer a wider array of financial services, such as insurance products, mutual funds, and brokerage services. This will allow us to better serve the needs of our clients as well as provide an additional source of fee based income. To that end, the Corporation has established a financial services subsidiary, CFS Group, Inc., to be available to provide additional financial services. CFS Group, Inc. has not yet begun operations and the scope of services to be provided is currently under review. As such, Chemung Financial Corporation now operates as a financial holding company with two subsidiaries, Chemung Canal Trust Company (the "Bank"), a full-service community bank with full trust powers, and CFS Group, Inc., a financial services subsidiary.

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.

(b) Financial information about industry segments

The Corporation and the Bank are engaged only in banking and bank-related businesses. During 2000, the Corporation established a financial services subsidiary, CFS Group, Inc., to be available to provide additional financial services. CFS Group, Inc. has not yet begun operations and the scope of services to be offered is currently under review. Exhibits I through VI included in the Corporation's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2000, set forth financial information with respect to the Corporation's financial position and results of operations. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including Exhibits I through VI, is incorporated herein by reference.

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, selling uninsured annuity and mutual fund investment products, and the use of networked automated teller facilities.

Trust services provided by the Bank include services as executor, trustee under wills and agreements, guardian and custodian and trustee and agent for pension, profit-sharing and other employee benefit trusts as well as various investment, pension, estate planning and employee benefit administrative services.

For additional information, which focuses on the results of operation of the Corporation and the Bank, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, incorporated herein by reference.

Within these market areas, the Bank encounters intense competition in its banking business from several other financial institutions offering comparable products. These competitors include other commercial banks (both locally based independent banks and local offices of regional and major metropolitan-based banks), as well as stock savings banks and credit unions. In addition, the Bank experiences competition in marketing some of its services from local operations of insurance companies, brokerage firms and retail financial service businesses.

Neither the Corporation nor the Bank is dependent upon a single or limited number of customers.

Expenditures for research and development were immaterial for the years 2000, 1999, and 1998.

As of December 31, 2000, the Bank employed 308 persons on a full-time equivalent basis.

For the purpose of these computations, non-accruing loans are included in the daily average loan amounts outstanding. Daily balances were used for average balance computations. Investment securities are stated at amortized cost. No tax equivalent adjustments have been made in calculating yields on obligations of states and political subdivisions.

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated, a summary of the changes in interest and dividends earned and interest paid resulting from changes in volume and changes in rates (in thousands of dollars):

1. The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Included in the above table are $222,707, $227,384 and $235,294 (in thousands of dollars) of securities available for sale at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The following table sets forth the maturities of debt securities at December 31, 2000 and the weighted average yields of such securities (all securities are calculated on the basis of the cost and effective yields weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security, except mortgage-backed securities which are based on the average life at the projected prepayment speed of each security). Federal tax equivalent adjustments have been made in calculating yields on municipal obligations (in thousands of dollars):

The following table shows the maturity of loans (excluding residential mortgages and consumer loans) outstanding as of December 31, 2000. Also provided are the amounts due after one year classified according to the sensitivity to changes in interest rates (in thousands of dollars):

Information with respect to non-accrual loans at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is as follows (in thousands of dollars):

(1) It is the Corporation's policy that when a past due loan is referred 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.

At December 31, 2000, the Corporation has no loan concentrations to borrowers engaged in the same or similar industries that exceed 10% of total loans.

At December 31, 2000, the Corporation has no earning assets other than loans that meet the non-accrual, past due, restructured or potential problem loan criteria.

This table summarizes the Corporation's loan loss experience for each year in the five-year period ended December 31, 2000 (in thousands of dollars):

(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 probable losses. The risk elements in the various portfolio categories are not considered to be any greater in 2000 than in prior years. The net charge-offs to total loans have averaged 0.19% 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 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, 2000:

The above allocation is neither indicative of the specific amounts or the loan categories in which future charge-offs may occur nor is it an indicator of future loss trends. The allocation of the allowance to each category does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.

The average daily amounts of deposits and rates paid on such deposits is summarized for the periods indicated in the following table (in thousands of dollars):

Scheduled maturities of time deposits at December 31, 2000 are summarized as follows (in thousands of dollars):

Maturities of time deposits in denominations of $100,000 or more outstanding at December 31, 2000 are summarized as follows (in thousands of dollars):
