Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

June 28, 2010

To the Participants and Administrators of

Community Bank System, Inc. 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Community Bank System, Inc. 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (United States).

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2009, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

Description of the Plan

The following description of the Community Bank System, Inc. 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Community Bank System, Inc. (the “Company”) who are age 18 or older. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan after 90 days of service. Employees must have one year of service to be eligible for the Company’s discretionary profit sharing contribution. The Plan also qualifies as an employee stock ownership plan under the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Plan Amendments

Effective January 1, 2008, the Plan was amended to allow Roth Elective Contributions, to provide automatic enrollment into the Plan for employees once they satisfy eligibility requirements, and the creation of automatic deferral payments which increase by 1% annually from 3% to a maximum of 6% absent employee direction to the contrary. Effective January 1, 2008 the plan was further amended to increase the maximum Company match to 3.5% as described below.

Contributions

Participants may make voluntary contributions of up to 90% of their total compensation on a pre-tax or after-tax basis up to a maximum contribution of $16,500 for 2009 or $22,000 if an employee is older than 50 in 2009 to the 401(K) Plan starting the first day of the month after 90 days of employment. Voluntary cash contributions of up to 6% of total eligible compensation are matched 100% by the Company for the first 1% contributed and 50% for the next 5% contributed. The Company match amounted to $1,750,472 and $1,592,633 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The amount of the Company’s annual discretionary profit sharing contribution is determined by the Board of Directors, within certain maximum limitations. These discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Plan are allocated to individual participant accounts. Such discretionary profit sharing contributions were $0 and $889,630 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocations of the Company's contribution as well as Plan earnings and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocation of Plan earnings and administrative expenses are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. Forfeited accounts are allocated annually to eligible participant accounts based on the ratio of each eligible participant's compensation to total eligible participant compensation. Forfeited accounts allocated to eligible participants amounted to $6,627 and $5,712 for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and the Company's discretionary profit sharing contributions. Vesting in the Company's matching contribution portion plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100 percent vested after two years of service.

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow from the Plan a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance. Loans are collateralized by the balance in the participant's account. Interest accrues at the prime rate in effect at the inception of the loan plus 1% for residential loans and plus 2.9% for Reserve Plus loans.

Payment of Benefits

Normal retirement date for participants under the Plan is the later of age 65 or the completion of 5 years of service. Upon termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, the participant will receive either a lump sum amount or installment payments equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account. If some or all of a participant’s account balance is allocated to the employee stock option feature of the Plan, that portion of the Plan benefit may be paid in the form of Company stock. Upon termination of employment, if the account balance is less than $5,000, the participant will receive a single lump sum amount equal to the value of his or her account, otherwise, the participant may elect to defer payment up to age 65. Hardship withdrawals of up to 100% of employee contributions are available if Internal Revenue Service guidelines are met.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue contributions at any time and terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event the Plan terminates, the net assets of the Plan are to be set aside for participating employees based upon balances then credited to individual accounts. Participants shall be vested 100% in the assets so allocated to their accounts.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through June 28, 2010, the date that the financial statements were available for issue. There were no material subsequent events.

B.	Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Valuation of Investments

Investments are stated at aggregate fair value, except for the SEI Stable Asset GIC Fund, which is stated at contract value. Securities that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Participant loan receivable balances are reported at cost, which approximates fair value.

Community Bank System, Inc.

401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of realized gains or losses as well as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. Gains or losses on sales of securities are based on average cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The SEI Stable Asset GIC Fund is stated at contract value according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance on Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans, which states that contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. As required by the guidance, the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investments at contract value. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. If an event occurs that may impair the ability of the contract issuer to perform in accordance with the contract terms, fair value may be less than contract value. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the average yields utilized were 3.69% and 6.44% and the crediting interest rates to the fund were 1.40% and 3.27% respectively.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Administrative Expenses

Certain administrative expenses are paid by the Company. These amounted to approximately $454,000 and $584,000, including approximately $251,000 and $276,000 paid to Benefit Plans Administrative Services, Inc. (“BPA”), in 2009 and 2008, respectively. (See Note E).

Inactive Accounts

Account balances of individuals who have withdrawn from participation in the Plan had an accumulated basis of approximately $10,522,871 and $10,856,943 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The plan provides for various investment options in mutual funds and Company stock. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risk in the near term would materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance related to Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to generally accepted accounting principles requiring the use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value instruments. It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). It also classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Community Bank System, Inc.

401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

	·	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	·	Level 2 – Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other
		than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
	·	Level 3 – Significant valuation assumptions not readily observable in a market.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

As of December 31, 2009
	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total Fair Value

Total	$44,821,061	$16,515,796	$2,327,898	$63,664,755

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the table above are as follows:

Mutual funds and money market funds: Valued at the net asset value of shares held by the plan at year-end.

Collective investment funds and collective trust funds: The units held of collective investment and collective trust funds are valued periodically by the trustee of the respective fund. The values are based on the current market values of the underlying assets of the fund, which have been determined to be Level 1 or Level 2.

Common stock and self directed brokerage: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Community Bank System, Inc.

401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

Loan fund: Valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the plan’s Level 3 assets for the year ended December 31:

	Loan Fund
	2009	2008
Balance, beginning of year	$2,327,898	$2,166,994
Realized gains/(losses)	-	-
Unrealized gains/(losses) relating to instruments still held at the reporting date	-	-
Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, net	(71,822)	160,904
Balance at end of year	$2,256,076	$2,327,898

Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

The assets of the Plan are administered by BPA, a subsidiary of Community Bank System, Inc. The Company paid BPA approximately $251,000 and $276,000 for record keeping, trustee, and other services in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Plan held 978,315 and 752,749 shares of the Plan sponsor’s common stock at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The cost of these shares at December 31, 2009 and 2008 is $18,584,540 and $14,935,905, respectively, and their fair value at December 31, 2009 and 2008 is $18,891,264 and $18,359,556 respectively. Dividends received on the investment in Community Bank System, Inc. common stock amounted to $804,097 and $668,882 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Plan sold 340,323 and 408,252 shares of Community Bank System, Inc. common stock during 2009 and 2008, respectively, and purchased 567,003 and 361,270 shares of Community Bank System, Inc. common stock during 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Income Tax Status

The Plan obtained its most recent determination letter in July 2003, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the plan, as then designed, was in compliance with Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, however, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued authoritative guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. As discussed above, the Plan is a tax-exempt entity. The Plan has reviewed its operations for uncertain tax positions and believes there are no significant exposures. The Plan will include interest on income tax liabilities in other expenses if such amounts arise. The Plan is no longer subject to Federal or New York state examinations by tax authorities for the closed tax years before 2006.
