              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

         Cohoes Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") was incorporated under Delaware law
in September 1998 as a savings and loan holding company to purchase 100% of
the common stock of Cohoes Savings Bank (the "Bank"). On December 31, 1998,
Cohoes Bancorp, Inc. completed its initial public offering of 9,257,500
shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of the Bank from a
mutual form institution to a stock savings bank (the "Conversion").
Concurrently with the Conversion, Cohoes Bancorp, Inc. acquired all of the
Bank's common stock.

         The consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all
normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
presented. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be
expected for the entire year ending June 30, 2001. Certain information and
note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.

         These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Earnings Per Share

                  On December 31, 1998, Cohoes Bancorp, Inc. completed its
initial stock offering of 9,257,500 shares of common stock. Concurrent with
the offering, approximately 8% of the shares issued (762,818) were purchased
by the Cohoes Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") using the
proceeds of a loan from the Company to the ESOP. As of September 30, 2000,
111,419 shares have been released or committed to be released from the ESOP
trust for allocation to ESOP participants. Consequently, the remaining
651,399 shares have not yet been released and under AICPA Statement of
Position 93-6, these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of
calculating per share amounts. The following is a reconciliation of the
numerator and denominator for the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS)
calculations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations

General

                  Cohoes Bancorp, Inc. ("Company"), headquartered in Cohoes,
New York is a savings and loan holding company incorporated in September 1998
under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was organized at the
direction of Cohoes Savings Bank ("Bank") for the purpose of acquiring all of
the common stock of the Bank issued in connection with the conversion of the
Bank from mutual to stock form ("Conversion"). On December 31, 1998, the Bank
completed its Conversion, and the Company sold 9,257,500 shares of its common
stock at a price of $10.00 per share in a subscription offering ("Offering")
to certain depositors of the Bank. In connection with the Conversion and
Offering, the Company established the Cohoes Savings Foundation, Inc.
("Foundation") and made a charitable contribution of 277,725 shares of the
Company's common stock to the Foundation, which resulted in a one-time charge
relating to the funding of the Foundation of $2.8 million ($1.7 million net
of tax). The net proceeds from the Offering amounted to $90.4 million, and
the Company contributed 50% of the net proceeds from the Offering to the Bank
in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of
the Bank. The Company had no significant assets or operations prior to
December 31, 1998. Per share data is reported for the period since
Conversion. Presently, the only significant assets of the Company are the
capital stock of the Bank, the Company's loan to the Employee Stock Ownership
Plan of the Company and the investments of the net proceeds from the Offering
retained by the Company. The Company is subject to the financial reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Financial Condition

                  For the three month period ended September 30, 2000, total
assets of the Company increased $12.3 million, or 1.7%, from $727.0 million
at June 30, 2000 to $739.3 million at September 30, 2000. This increase in
total assets was primarily attributable to a $14.3 million, or 2.4%, increase
in net loans receivable which increased from $600.4 million at June 30, 2000
to $614.7 million at September 30, 2000. This increase resulted from
continued growth in the loan portfolio, particularly mortgage loans.

                  Deposits increased $2.8 million, from $494.9 million at
June 30, 2000, to $497.6 million at September 30, 2000. This increase was
primarily attributable to an $11.8 million increase in demand deposits
largely due to escrow funds of approximately $8.5 million being deposited at
month end. The remaining $3.3 million increase is attributed to growth in
demand accounts from both our consumer and commercial customers. This
increase in demand balances was partially offset by a decrease in savings
account balances of $4.1 million and time deposits of $4.9 million due
primarily to highly competitive rates offered by the Company's competition.

                  Borrowings, comprised primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, increased $13.1 million, or 13.6%, from $96.2 million at June 30,
2000 to $109.3 million at September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily the
result of additional Federal Home Loan Bank advances used to fund loan
growth.

                  Total stockholders' equity increased $2.3 million, or 1.9%,
from $121.3 million at June 30, 2000 to $123.6 million at September 30, 2000.
This increase was primarily attributable to the earnings for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 of $1.4 million, the vesting of shares under the
recognition and retention plan of $832,000 and an increase in the Company's
available for sale portfolio market value valuation, net of tax of $419,000.
These increases were partially offset by declared dividends of approximately
$511,000. The book value per share at September 30, 2000 was $15.62.

                  Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table presents the
extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the
Company's interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated.
Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes
attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior
rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate
multiplied by prior volume) and (iii) the net change. The changes
attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated
proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000
and 1999

         For the three months ended September 30, 2000 the Company recognized
net income of $1.4 million, as compared to net income of $1.6 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1999. Net interest income increased $249,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period
last year. Noninterest income increased by $364,000 from $662,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $1.0 million for the same period this
year. Another increase in net income was seen by the reduction in income tax
expense of $219,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared
to the same period last year. These increases in net income were more than
offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $5.4 million recognized for
the quarter ending September 30, 2000 compared to $4.3 million for the same
period last year.

         Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 was $6.9 million, up $249,000 from the same period last
year. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $65.0 million
in the balance of average earning assets from $641.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 to $706.5 million for the same period this
year. The balance of interest-bearing liabilities also increased during the
same period, up $75.8 million. The net impact of these volume increases was
an increase in net interest income of $242,000. The net increase in net
interest income due to rate was $7,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to the same period last year. The yield on average
earning assets increased from 7.27% to 7.52% while the rate paid on average
interest-bearing liabilities increased from 3.86% to 4.28%. This resulted in
a decrease in net interest rate spread of 17 basis points from 3.41% for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 to 3.24% for the three months ended
September 30, 2000. The Company's net interest margin for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 was 3.88%, down 23 basis points from 4.11% for the
same period last year. The net interest margin decrease was partially the
result of the Company's share repurchases reducing the amount of capital as a
no-cost funding source.

         Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 was $13.4 million, up from $11.8 million for the
comparable period in 1999. The largest component of interest income is
interest on loans. Interest on loans increased from $10.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 to $11.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2000. This increase of $1.7 million was the result of an
increase in the average balance of loans and an increase in the average yield
earned. The average balance of loans increased $71.9 million to $612.1
million, which accounted for an increase in income due to volume of $1.4
million. The yield on loans increased 24 basis points from 7.50% to 7.74% due
to an increase in market interest rate conditions, which accounted for an
increase in interest income due to rate of $337,000.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense increased for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1999 by $1.4
million. The majority of the Company's interest expense is from the Company's
interest-bearing deposits. The largest category of interest-bearing deposits
is time deposits. Interest on time deposits for the quarter ended September
30, 2000 was $3.5 million, up $871,000 from $2.6 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999. This increase is the result of an increase in the
average balance of time deposits, from $204.8 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 to $246.4 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2000. This increase decreased net interest income due to volume by $571,000
for the period ending September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period last
year. The rates paid on these deposits increased 55 basis points from 5.08%
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to 5.63% for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000. The net impact of this rate increase on time deposits
reduced net interest income by $300,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 as compared to the same quarter last year. The average balance of time
deposits increased due to the Company's advertising campaign to raise time
deposit money during the year.

         Interest on savings accounts decreased $99,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period last year. This decrease
was due largely to a reduction in the rate paid on savings accounts as well
as a decrease in the average balance in savings accounts. The Company
implemented a 25 basis point decrease in the rates paid on savings accounts
in September 1999 due to competitors interest rates paid on comparable
savings products. The average balance decreased by $5.5 million from $136.7
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $131.2 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000. Interest on money market accounts decreased
$49,000, from $234,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $185,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. This decrease is largely attributed
to a decrease in the average balance of money market accounts of $5.0 million
as well as a decrease of 10 basis points in the rates paid on these money
market accounts, from 3.48% to 3.38%.


<PAGE>

         Interest on borrowings for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was
$1.6 million, up $635,000 from the same period last year. This increase is
attributable to an increase of $34.6 million in the average balance of
borrowings along with an increase of 59 basis points in the rate paid on
borrowings. The Company borrowed additional funds during 2000 to support
asset growth, particularly in the loan portfolio, as part of the process of
leveraging the additional capital raised in the Offering.

         Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses decreased
from $340,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $300,000 for the
quarter ended September 30,2000. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction
in non-performing loans from $4.2 million as of September 30, 1999 to $4.1
million as of September 30, 2000. The Company has also seen an increase in
the coverage ratio of non-performing loans from 103.14% at September 30, 1999
as compared to 126.70% as of September 30, 2000. These two factors were
partially offset by an increase in the balance of average outstanding loans
from $540.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $612.1
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.

         Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 was $1.0 million, up from $662,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. Service charges on deposits increased $48,000 to $251,000
for the quarter ending September 30, 2000. This increase was due primarily to
the addition of approximately 2,000 demand deposit accounts from September
30, 1999 to September 30, 2000. Loan servicing revenue declined $11,000 from
$76,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $65,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000. The decline relates to a reduction in the balance
of loans serviced for others. Other noninterest income increased by $327,000
from the September 30, 1999 quarter to the September 30, 2000 quarter. The
largest portion of this increase is due to an increase in revenues from CSB
Services Agency, Inc., a wholly owned insurance subsidiary, increasing by
$168,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the quarter
ended September 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the purchasing
of two insurance agencies in late December 1999. Revenue also increased in
CSB Financial Services, Inc., a wholly owned brokerage subsidiary, increasing
by $93,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the
quarter ended September 30, 1999. This increase is attributable to the growth
in branch referrals generating new business. The Company also recognized a
$24,000 gain on the sale of an ORE property and an increase in ATM fees of
$31,000 primarily due to the increase of foreign transactions handled at the
Company's ATM machines.

         Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.1 million to
$5.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, up from $4.3 million
for the comparable period in 1999. Merger related expenses of $649,000
accounted for the majority of the additional expense. The Company, on April
25, 2000, entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Hudson River
Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Hudson River Bank & Trust. On August 17,
2000, the shareholders of Cohoes Bancorp, Inc. did not approve the merger by
a slight margin. Compensation and benefits increased $312,000 of which
$112,000 is due to CSB Services Agency, Inc. acquiring two new insurance
agencies. CSB Financial Services, Inc. also increased compensation cost by
$64,000 largely due to the increased commission expense resulting from
increased sales volume. Director fees also increased $89,000 for the period
ending September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period last year. This
increase is entirely attributed to the additional board meetings called to
review the strategic alternatives of the Company, as the fees paid per
meeting have not been increased. The Company also recognized an increase in
ESOP expense of $32,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared
to September 30, 1999 due to an increase in the average price of the
Company's stock. The increase in occupancy expense of $110,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to the quarter ended September 30,
1999 is primarily attributable to the costs incurred to move our Rotterdam
Office into the Price Chopper Supermarket location and the occupancy expense
associated with CSB Services Agency, Inc. Other noninterest expense increased
$78,000 as a result of an increase in ORE related expenses.

         Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense declined from $1.0 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $786,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in
income before income tax expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

         Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate sufficient cash flow
to meet all present and future funding commitments, depositor withdrawals and
operating expenses. Management monitors the Company's liquidity position on a
daily basis and evaluates its ability to meet depositor withdrawals or make
new loans or investments. The Company's liquid assets include cash and cash
equivalents, investment securities that mature within one year, and its
portfolio of securities available for sale.

         The Company's cash inflows result primarily from loan repayments,
maturities, calls and pay downs of securities, new deposits, and to a lesser
extent, drawing upon the Bank's credit lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank
of New York. The Company's cash outflows are substantially new loan
originations, securities purchases, purchases of treasury shares and deposit
withdrawals. The timing of cash inflows and outflows are closely monitored by
management although changes in interest rates, economic conditions, and
competitive forces strongly impact the predictability of these cash flows.
The Company attempts to provide stable and flexible sources of funding
through the management of its liabilities, including core deposit products
offered through its branch network as well as with limited use of borrowings.
Management believes that the level of the Company's liquid assets combined
with daily monitoring of inflows and outflows provide adequate liquidity to
fund outstanding loan commitments, meet daily withdrawal requirements of our
depositors, and meet all other daily obligations of the Company.

         During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's
primary demand for funds was to make loans. Net loans increased by $14.3
million. This activity was funded principally with a net increase in
borrowings of $13.1 million.

Capital

         Consistent with its goals to operate a sound and profitable
financial organization, the Bank actively seeks to remain a "well
capitalized" institution in accordance with regulatory standards. The Bank's
total equity was $100.4 million at September 30, 2000, 13.6% of total assets
on that date. As of September 30, 2000, the Bank exceeded all of the capital
requirements of the FDIC. The Bank's regulatory capital ratios at September
30, 2000 were as follows: Tier I (leverage) capital, 13.5%; Tier I risk-based
capital, 20.3%; and Total risk-based capital, 21.4%. The regulatory capital
minimum requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5.0%, 6.0%, and
10.0%, respectively.

         The Company's total equity at September 30, 2000 was $123.6 million,
up $2.3 million from June 30, 2000. The increase was primarily attributable
to the earnings for the quarter ending September 30, 2000 of $1.4 million,
the vesting of shares under the recognition and retention plan of $832,000
and an increase in the Company's available for sale portfolio market value
valuation of $419,000. These increases were partially offset by declared
dividends of approximately $511,000.
