Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

Note 2:   Net Income Per Common Share

Net income per common share is based on net income divided by the weighted 
average common shares outstanding during the period.  Outstanding common stock 
equivalents (stock options) did not have a significant dilutive effect upon the 
net income per share computation.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                    GENERAL

The financial condition and operating results of Progressive Bank, Inc. 
("Progressive," or, together with its subsidiary, the "Company"), a bank
holding company, are primarily dependent upon the financial condition and
operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pawling Savings Bank
("Pawling").

The Company is engaged principally in the business of attracting retail deposits
from the general public and the business community and investing those funds in 
residential and commercial mortgages, consumer loans and securities.  The 
operating results of the Company depend primarily on its net interest income 
after provision for loan losses.  Net interest income is the difference between 
interest and dividend income on earning assets, primarily loans and securities, 
and interest expense on deposits and other borrowings.  Net income of the 
Company is also affected by other income, which includes service fees and net 
gain (loss) on sale of securities and loans; other expense, which includes 
salaries and employee benefits and other operating expenses; and Federal and 
state income taxes.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets of the Company were $886.0 million at September 30, 1996 as 
compared to $743.2 million at December 31, 1995, an increase of $142.8 million 
or 19.2%.  The increase in total assets primarily reflects the acquisition of 
two Rockland County branches on April 12, 1996 and the subsequent reinvestment 
of these proceeds.  Additionally, the purchase premium that resulted from this
transaction is accounted for as an intangible asset.

The $107.7 million increase in securities consisted of a $71.1 million increase
to maturity.   The increase in securities available for sale primarily reflects
purchases of $119.7 million in adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities, U.S. 
government agencies and U.S. Treasury notes, partially offset by maturities, 
sales, calls, and principal paydowns. The increase in securities held to 
maturity primarily reflects purchases of $46.4 million of fixed rate five- and 
seven-year balloon mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by principal 
paydowns.

At September 30, 1996, net loans totaled $567.5 million, compared to $531.7 
million at December 31, 1995, an increase of $35.8 million or 6.7%.  The 
residential mortgage segment of the loan portfolio increased $22.5 million or 
5.7% (net of loan sales to the secondary market of $9.4 million) from $395.9 
million at December 31, 1995 to $418.4 million at September 30, 1996.  The 
commercial mortgage segment of the loan portfolio increased $2.1 million or
2.8% from $73.9 million at December 31, 1995 to $75.9 million at September 30,
1996. Other loans increased $12.5 million or 21.1% during the first nine
months of 1996 from $59.1 million to $71.6 million.

The $149.3 million increase in deposits during the first nine months of 1996 
primarily reflects the acquisition of two branches which resulted in an
increase in deposits of $152.8 million.

Shareholders' equity at September 30, 1996 was $72.7 million, an increase of 
$4.1 million or 5.9% from December 31, 1995. This increase primarily reflects 
net income of $7.4 million and proceeds of $796,000 from exercises of stock 
options, partially offset by treasury stock purchases of $2.1 million and cash 
dividends of $1.6 million.  Shareholders' equity, as a percent of total assets, 
was 8.21% at September 30, 1996 compared to 9.24% at December 31, 1995.  Book 
value per share increased to $27.98 at September 30, 1996 from $26.13 at 
December 31, 1995.

The following table shows the Company's average consolidated balances, interest 
income and expense, and average rates (not on a tax-equivalent basis) for the 
periods indicated.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company's net income was $2.5 
million or $0.97 per share as compared to $1.8 million or $0.68 per share for 
the same three-month period in 1995. For the nine-month period ended September 
30, 1996, the Company earned $7.4 million or $2.82 per share as compared to
$5.0 million or $1.82 per share for the same period in 1995.  The increases in
net income for the three- and nine-month periods were primarily the result of 
increases in net interest income and decreases in income tax expense, partially 
offset by increases in other expense and the provision for loan losses.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 15.4%, to $8.1 million for the 
three-month period ended September 30, 1996 and $2.9 million, or 14.1%, to
$23.7 million for the nine-month period when compared to the same periods in
1995. The increases in net interest income for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 were primarily due to increases in interest on
securities and loans, partially offset by increases in interest paid on
deposits.  For the three-month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company's
interest rate spread narrowed by 16 basis points primarily reflecting the
decrease in the average yield on earning assets, partially offset by the
decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.  For the nine-month
period, the Company's interest rate spread narrowed by 12 basis points
primarily the result of the increase in the cost of funds.  The Company's
net interest margin also narrowed, primarily a result of the change in
interest rate spread.  The reduction in net interest margin and spread was
primarily due to the acquisition of deposits from GreenPoint Bank.  
These proceeds were temporarily placed into investment securities until the 
funds could be reinvested into loans at higher spreads.  The narrowing of the 
spread and margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1996  would have been 
greater without the impact of interest on income tax refunds as described in 
note 7 to the table on page 7.

Interest on loans increased by $825,000, or 7.2%, for the three-month period
and $3.4 million, or 10.2%, for the nine-month period when compared to the
same periods in 1995, primarily reflecting increases in the volume of loans 
outstanding.  The Company anticipates further loan growth due to the 
reinvestment of the funds received in the branch acquisition into new loans.  
Average mortgage loans and other loans increased by $41.6 million for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1996 and $46.1 million for the nine-month 
period when compared to the same periods in 1995.

Interest on mortgage-backed securities increased $626,000, or 45.8%, for the 
three-month period and $1.7 million, or 45.1%, for the nine-month period when 
compared to the same periods in 1995, primarily due to increases in the average 
balance outstanding due to additional security purchases as well as increases
in the average yield earned on the portfolio due to purchases of securities
with higher yields and upward adjustments on adjustable rate mortgage-backed
securities.

Interest and dividends on U.S. Treasury and agencies, corporate and other 
securities increased by $1.4 million for the three-month period ended September 
30, 1996 and $2.7 million for the nine-month period when compared to the same 
periods in 1995.  These increases primarily reflect a higher average balance 
outstanding due to additional purchases of U.S. Treasury and agency securities, 
partially offset by maturities and calls during the year.

Interest on Federal funds sold and other interest income decreased $32,000 for 
the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 and increased $43,000 for the 
nine-month period when compared to the same periods in 1995. The increase for 
the nine-month period reflects $420,000 of interest income due to the receipt
of refunds of certain prior years' Federal income taxes.  This amount was 
substantially offset by the decline in interest income on Federal funds sold
due to the decrease in the average yield as well as the decrease in the
average balance outstanding for the nine-month period.

The increases in interest on interest-bearing liabilities for the three- and 
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 of $1.7 million and $4.9 million, 
respectively, were primarily due to increases in the average balance
outstanding due to the acquisition of the Rockland County branches during the
second quarter of 1996.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses is a charge against income which increases the 
allowance for loan losses. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is 
evaluated periodically and is determined based on management's judgment 
concerning the amount of risk and potential for loss inherent in the portfolio. 
Management's judgment is based upon a number of factors including a review of 
non-performing and other classified loans, the value of collateral for such 
loans, historical loss experience, changes in the nature and volume of the loan 
portfolio, and current and prospective economic conditions. 

For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, the provision 
for loan losses was $600,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, as compared to 
$150,000 and $400,000 for the comparable periods in 1995.  The higher 
provisions were made to increase the allowance for loan losses in line with 
the Company's loan growth and changes in portfolio mix.  Non-performing loans 
increased to $6.3 million, or 1.09% of total loans, at September 30, 1996 
compared to $4.4 million, or 0.83% of total loans, at September 30, 1995 and 
$5.8 million, or 1.07% of total loans, at December 31, 1995.

In determining the allowance for loan losses, management also considers the 
level of slow paying loans, or loans where the borrower is contractually past 
due 30 to 89 days or more, but has not yet been placed on non-accrual status.  
At September 30, 1996, slow paying loans amounted to $4.5 million as compared
to $3.3 million at September 30, 1995 and $3.4 million at December 31, 1995.

Loan loss provisions in future periods will continue to depend on trends in the 
credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio and the level of loan charge-
offs which, in turn, will depend in part on the economic and real estate market
conditions prevailing within the Company's lending region.  If general economic 
conditions or real estate values deteriorate, the level of delinquencies, non-
performing loans, and charge-offs may increase and higher provisions for loan 
losses may be necessary.

Activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated is 
summarized as follows:

(<F1>) Includes loans on non-accrual status of $6.1 million, $4.2 million and $5.6 million at September 30, 1996, September 30, 
1995, and December 31, 1995, respectively. The remaining balance consists of loans greater than 90 days past due and still 
accruing.  The Company generally stops accruing interest on loans that are delinquent over 90 days.
</TABLE>


The loan portfolio also includes certain restructured loans that are current in 
accordance with modified payment terms and, accordingly, are not included in
the preceding table.  These restructured loans are loans for which concessions,
including reduction of interest rates to below-market levels or deferral of 
payments, have been granted due to the borrowers' financial condition.  
Restructured loans totaled $1.3 million at September 30, 1996, compared to $1.4 
million at September 30, 1995 and $1.5 million at December 31, 1995.

The Company's recorded investment in impaired loans consisted of commercial 
mortgage and construction loans totaling $1.7 million at September 30, 1996 and 
$3.2 million at December 31, 1995.  Total impaired loans at September 30, 1996 
consist of (i) loans of $962,000 for which there was an allowance for losses of 
$207,000 determined in accordance with SFAS No. 114 and (ii) loans of $692,000 
for which there was no allowance determined under SFAS No. 114 due to the 
adequacy of related collateral and historical charge-offs associated with these 
loans.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, the average 
recorded investment in impaired loans was $1.7 million and $2.5 million, 
respectively.  Interest income on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis 
and was not significant for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 
30, 1996 and 1995.

OTHER INCOME

Sources of other income include deposit and other service fees, net gain (loss) 
on securities, net gain (loss) on sales of loans, and other non-interest
income. Other income increased by $147,000, or 19.6%, for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1996 and increased $325,000, or 15.1% for the
nine-month period, compared to the same periods in 1995.

Deposit service fees, the largest component of other income, increased by 
$89,000, or 17.5%, for the three-month period and $307,000, or 20.5%, for the 
nine-month period, compared to the same periods in 1995.  This was primarily
the result of an increase in the amount of retail checking account fees
collected. Other service fees totaled $184,000 and $511,000 for the three- and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, as compared to $140,000 and
$456,000 for the same periods in 1995.  The $194,000 net loss on securities
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 consists of the net realized
loss on the second quarter sale of U.S. Treasury securities.  There have been
no sales of securities classified as held to maturity.  Net gain on loans was
$31,000 and $139,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1996 compared to $1,000 and $38,000 during the same periods in 1995.

OTHER EXPENSE

Other expense consists of general and administrative expenses incurred in 
managing the core business of the Company and the net costs associated with 
managing and selling other real estate properties.  Other expense increased by 
$1.2 million, or 26.5%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 and 
$2.2 million, or 15.5%, for the nine-month period, compared to the same periods 
in 1995, primarily due to increases in salary and employee benefit expense, 
amortization of intangible assets, occupancy and equipment expense, and other 
operating expense. For the nine-month period, these increases were partially 
offset by a decrease in FDIC deposit insurance expense.

Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of other expense, 
increased by $477,000, or 20.7%, for the three-month period and $1.1 million,
or 16.6%, for the nine-month period, compared to the same periods in 1995. The
increases primarily reflect additional expense due to the branch acquisition 
during the second quarter of 1996, as well as the hiring of additional staff
and normal merit and promotional salary increases.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $170,000, or 28.6%, for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1996 and $503,000, or 28.8%, for the nine-
month period, as compared to the same periods in the previous year, primarily
due to the branch acquisition as well as other increases in depreciation,
maintenance and equipment rental and repair expenses.

The net cost of other real estate increased $74,000 for the three-month period 
and $192,000 for the nine-month period, compared to the same periods in 1995.  
These increases reflect an increase of $67,000 in net holding costs for the 
nine-month period and increases in the provision for losses on other real
estate of $75,000 and $125,000, respectively, for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996.

FDIC deposit insurance expense increased $41,000 for the three-month period,
and decreased $658,000 for the nine-month period, as compared to the same
periods in the previous year.  The decrease in the nine-month period was
primarily the result of the reduction of the insurance premium on Pawling's
deposits.

Amortization of intangible assets totaled $349,000 and $655,000 for the three 
and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, primarily reflecting
the amortization of the purchase premium as a result of the branch acquisition.

Other non-interest expense increased $74,000, or 4.9%, for the three-month 
period and $362,000, or 7.8%, for the nine-month period when compared to the 
same periods in 1995.  The increases in the three- and nine-month periods 
primarily reflect increased foreclosure and collection expense and increased 
loan origination and servicing expense due to increased lending activity.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company recognized an income tax 
expense of $174,000 consisting of a provision of $1.1 million or 41.0% of pre-
tax income for the quarter, less a benefit of $941,000 from the settlement with 
the State of New York Department of Taxation and Finance of audits of certain 
prior years' New York State tax returns.  For the same period in the previous 
year, income tax expense was $1.3 million or 41.2% of pre-tax income.  For the 
nine-month period ended September 30, 1996, income tax expense was $1.1
million, consisting of a provision of $3.5 million or 41.1% of pre-tax income,
less the State tax benefit of $941,000 referred to above and a Federal tax
benefit of $1.5 million from the settlement of certain Internal Revenue Service
audits during the second quarter of 1996.  Income tax expense was $3.5 million 
(effective tax rate of 41.1%) for the same period in the previous year.

RATIOS

Results of operations can be measured by various ratios.  Two widely recognized 
performance indicators are the return on assets and the return on equity.  The 
following table sets forth these performance ratios for the Company on an 
annualized basis:

</TABLE>


                                   LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet
all present and future funding commitments.  Management monitors the Company's
liquidity position on a daily basis and evaluates its ability to meet depositor 
withdrawals and to make new loans and investments as opportunities arise.  The 
Asset/Liability Committee, consisting of members of senior management, is 
responsible for setting general guidelines to ensure maintenance of prudent 
levels of liquidity.  The mix of liquid assets and various deposit products, at 
any given time, reflects management's view of the most efficient use of these 
sources of funds.

The Company's cash flows are classified according to their source-operating 
activities, investing activities, and financing activities.  Further details 
concerning the Company's cash flows are provided in the "Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows."

Liquid assets are provided by short-term investments, proceeds from maturities 
of securities and principal collections on loans.  One measure used by the 
Company to assess its liquidity position is the primary liquidity ratio
(defined as the ratio of cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold and
securities maturing within one year to total assets).  At September 30, 1996,
the Company had a primary liquidity ratio of 5.21% as compared to 8.21% at
December 31, 1995.

An important source of funds is Pawling's core deposit base.  Management 
believes that a substantial portion of Pawling's deposits of $806.3 million at 
September 30, 1996 are core deposits.  Core deposits are generally considered
to be a highly stable source of liquidity due to long-term relationships with 
deposit customers.  Pawling recognizes the importance of maintaining and 
enhancing its reputation in the consumer market to enable effective gathering 
and retention of core deposits.  The Company does not currently utilize
brokered deposits as a source of funds.

In addition to the funding sources discussed above, the Company has the ability 
to borrow funds from several sources.  Pawling is a member of the Federal Home 
Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") and, at September 30, 1996, had immediate 
access to additional liquidity in the form of borrowings from the FHLBNY of up 
to $88.8 million.  The Company also has access to the discount window of the 
Federal Reserve Bank.

At September 30, 1996, Pawling had outstanding loan commitments and unadvanced 
customer lines of credit totaling $99.5 million.  These commitments do not 
necessarily represent future cash requirements since certain of these 
instruments may expire without being funded and others may not be fully drawn 
upon.  The sources of liquidity discussed above are deemed by management to be 
sufficient to fund outstanding loan commitments and to meet the Company's other 
obligations.

On February 6, 1995, the Superintendent of Banks for the State of New York (the 
"Superintendent") seized Nationar, a check-clearing and trust company, freezing 
all of Nationar's assets.  The Superintendent is now in the process of winding 
up the affairs of Nationar and liquidating its assets. The Company used
Nationar for Federal funds transactions, as well as certain custodial and
investment services.  At the time of seizure, the Company had approximately
$3.6 million in Federal funds sold and other deposits invested with Nationar.
The Superintendent had given preliminary indications that the assets of
Nationar may be inadequate to satisfy all claims of creditors in full.
Based on the foregoing and a deficit in net shareholders' equity that was
noted in a report issued by the Superintendent in February 1996, management,
as advised by legal counsel, believed that there was a reasonable likelihood
that the Company would not recover all of its investments in Federal funds
and other deposits at Nationar. During the second quarter of 1996, the
Company received a partial distribution of $1.4 million, or 40% of the
claim against Nationar. As of September 30, 1996, other assets include
$1.2 million in remaining claims against Nationar, net of a $1.0 million
reserve for probable loss which was established in 1995. On October 23,
1996, the Superintendent announced that he has filed an application 
seeking the authority to pay in full the balance of all accepted unsecured 
claims before the end of 1996. If the court rules in favor of the 
Superintendent's recommendation, the Company would recover the remainder of
its entire claim of 2.2 million in 1996.  The Company will continue to review
the situation as developments occur.

                                    CAPITAL

Progressive, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation and
supervision by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB").  Pawling, as a New York
state-chartered stock savings bank, is subject to regulation and supervision
by the New York State Banking Department as its chartering agency and by the
FDIC as its deposit insurer.  Both the FRB and the FDIC have developed and
follow, in substance, similar requirements to maintain minimum levels of
leverage and risk-based capital.

The risk-based capital adequacy guidelines require the Company and Pawling to 
maintain capital according to the risk profile of the asset portfolio and 
certain off-balance sheet items. The guidelines set forth a system for 
calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning assets (and credit-equivalent 
amounts for certain off-balance sheet items) to one of four broad risk-weight 
categories.  The amount of risk-weighted assets is determined by applying a 
specific percentage (0%, 20%, 50% or 100%, depending on the level of credit 
risk) to the amounts assigned to each category.  As a percentage of risk-
weighted assets, a minimum ratio of 4.0% must be maintained for Tier 1 capital 
and 8.0% for total capital.

At September 30, 1996, Progressive's capital ratios exceeded the FRB's minimum 
regulatory capital requirements as follows:

During 1994, the Company announced two plans to repurchase in each case up to
5% of Progressive's outstanding common stock, to be used for general corporate
purposes.  The first repurchase was completed on November 9, 1994 and consisted 
of 147,000 shares at a total cost of $3.1 million or $21.21 per share.  The 
second repurchase plan was completed on September 29, 1995 and consisted of 
140,000 shares at a total cost of $3.3 million or $23.84 per share.  A third 
repurchase plan, which was announced in October 1995 and completed on July 
30,1996, consisted of 135,000 shares at a total cost of $3.9 million or $28.78 
per share.  On October 21, 1996, the Company announced a fourth plan to 
repurchase 130,000 shares, or approximately 5% of outstanding stock, over a
six- to nine-month period. The Company considers its stock to be an attractive
investment and believes these programs will increase shareholder value.

On October 8, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of 
twenty cents ($0.20) per common share, payable on November 29, 1996 to 
shareholders of record as of October 31, 1996.

                           ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The Company's asset/liability management goal is to maintain an acceptable
level of interest rate risk to produce relatively stable net interest income
in changing interest rate environments.  Management continually monitors the
Company's interest rate risk.  Risk management strategies are developed and 
implemented by the Asset/Liability Committee which uses various risk
measurement tools to evaluate the impact of changes in interest rates on the
Company's asset/liability structure and net interest income.

Earnings are susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-
bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-
earning assets.  These interest rate repricing "gaps" provide an indication of
the extent that net interest income may be affected by future changes in
interest rates. A one-year period is a common measurement interval of interest
sensitivity known as the one-year gap. The Company's one-year gap as a 
percentage of total assets was -8.25% at September 30, 1996.  A negative gap 
exists when the amount of interest-bearing liabilities exceeds the amount of 
interest-earning assets expected to mature or reprice in a given period.  A 
negative gap may enhance earnings in periods of declining interest rates in 
that, during such periods, the interest expense paid on liabilities may
decrease more rapidly than the interest income earned on assets. Conversely, in
a rising interest rate environment, a negative gap may result in an increase
in interest expense paid on liabilities that is greater than the increase in
interest income earned on assets.  While a negative gap indicates the amount
of interest-bearing liabilities which may reprice before interest-earning
assets, it does not indicate the extent to which they will reprice.
Therefore, at times, a negative gap may not produce higher margins in a
declining rate environment.

Due to limitations inherent in the gap analysis, management augments the 
asset/liability management process by using simulation analysis.  Simulation 
analysis estimates the impact on net interest income of changing the balance 
sheet structure and/or interest rate environment.  This analysis serves as an 
additional tool in meeting the Company's goal of maintaining relatively stable 
net interest income in varying interest rate environments.

The Company manages its interest rate risk primarily by structuring its balance
sheet to emphasize holding adjustable rate loans and mortgage-backed securities
in its portfolio and maintaining a large base of core deposits.  The Company
has not used synthetic hedging instruments such as interest rate futures,
swaps or options.

The following table summarizes the Company's interest rate sensitive assets and 
liabilities at September 30, 1996 according to the time periods in which they 
are expected to reprice, and the resulting gap for each time period.
