UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet presents the financial position of NBT Bancorp Inc. (NBT), Pioneer American Holding Company Corp (Pioneer American), and BSB Bancorp, Inc. (BSB) as of March 31, 2000 assuming that both mergers had occurred as of March 31, 2000 after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 present the combined historical results of operations of NBT, Pioneer American, and BSB as if the mergers had been completed as of the first day of the period presented. The historical financial information of NBT has been restated to include the effects of the merger with Lake Ariel Bancop, Inc. (Lake Ariel), which was completed on February 17, 2000 and has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. Pro forma earnings per share are based on the exchange ratios of 1.805 and 2.0 for the Pioneer American and BSB mergers, respectively. The fiscal years of NBT, Pioneer American, and BSB end December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects estimated non-recurring charges that may be incurred in connection with the mergers. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared giving effect to the mergers on the pooling of interests accounting method. Under this method of accounting, the recorded assets, liabilities, stockholders' equity, income and expense of NBT, Pioneer American, and BSB are combined and reflected at their historical amounts, except as noted in the accompanying notes. The combined company expects to achieve certain merger benefits in the form of operating expense reductions and revenue enhancements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not reflect potential operating expense reductions or revenue enhancements that are expected to result from the mergers, and therefore may not be indicative of the results of future operations. No assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate level of operating expense reductions or revenue enhancements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified in their entirety by, the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of NBT, Pioneer American, and BSB and the supplemental consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of NBT, which have been restated to include the effects of the Lake Ariel merger. These supplemental financial statements were included in Current Report on Form 8-K, dated March 31, 2000 and filed with the SEC. The following historical financial information of Pioneer American and BSB has been derived from the respective companies' interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2000 and for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 which are included in the respective companies Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and are incorporated by reference herein, and their respective consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1999, which were included in the respective companies' Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and incorporated by reference herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for informational purposes only. These statements are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position and results of operations that would have occurred if the mergers had been completed on March 31, 2000 or at the beginning of the respective periods presented or that may be attained in the future.

Costs related to the Pioneer American merger are estimated to be in the range of $4.6 million to $5.6 million ($3.3 million to $4.3 million after taxes). Costs related to the BSB merger are estimated to be in the range of $16.0 million to $17.0 million ($11.5 million to $12.5 million after taxes). These estimates include primarily investment banking, legal, accounting, printing, data processing and system integration costs, and employee and contract termination costs. Anticipated merger and integration cost estimates are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for any of the periods presented. The pro forma statements do not reflect potential expense reductions or revenue enhancements expected to be realized subsequent to consummation of the mergers. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at March 31, 2000 only reflects merger and integration costs related to the Lake Ariel merger that were incurred through March 31, 2000. It is anticipated that there will be an additional $5.0 million of merger and integration costs incurred in the future in connection with the Lake Ariel merger. These additional costs are not recognized in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at March 31, 2000. The entries to record the anticipated merger and integration costs on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet are as follows: BSB Current tax receivable 4,500,000 Retained earnings 12,000,000 Other liabilities 16,500,000 Pioneer American Current tax receivable 1,300,000 Retained earnings 3,800,000 Other liabilities 5,100,000
