The  weighted  average  fair  value  of each  option  as of the  grant  date was
estimated using the  Black-Scholes  pricing model,  and calculated in accordance
with Statement 123. No options were granted in the first six months of 2003. The
estimated fair values of options granted in 2002 was as follows:

                     Employees'                      Directors'
                        Plan                            Plan

The following  assumptions were utilized in the calculation of the fair value of
the 2002 options under Statement 123:


                                       Employees'                   Directors'

5.       Impact of Changes in Accounting Standards

In December 2002, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
- -  Transition  and  Disclosure - an Amendment  of FASB  Statement  No. 123",  to
provide  alternative  methods of transition  for a voluntary  change to the fair
value based method of  accounting  for  stock-based  employee  compensation.  In
addition,  this statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to
require prominent  disclosures in both annual and interim  financial  statements
about the method of accounting for  stock-based  employee  compensation  and the
effect of the method used on reported  results.  The adoption of this  statement
did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  consolidated  financial
statements.

6.       Guarantees

The   Company   does   not   issue   any    guarantees    that   would   require
liability-recognition  or disclosure,  other than its standby letters of credit.
Standby letters of credit are conditional  commitments  issued by the Company to
guarantee the  performance  of a customer to a third party.  Standby  letters of
credit generally arise in connection with lending relationships. The credit risk
involved in issuing these  instruments is essentially  the same as that involved
in extending loans to customers. Contingent obligations under standby letters of
credit  totaled  approximately  $2.2 million at June 30, 2003 and  represent the
maximum  potential  future  payments  the  Company  could be  required  to make.
Typically,  these  instruments  have  terms of twelve  months or less and expire
unused;  therefore,  the total amounts do not necessarily  represent future cash
requirements. Each customer is evaluated individually for creditworthiness under
the same  underwriting  standards  used for  commitments  to extend  credit  and
on-balance sheet  instruments.  Company policies governing loan collateral apply
to  standby  letters  of credit at the time of credit  extension.  Loan-to-value
ratios  are  generally  consistent  with  loan-to-value  requirements  for other
commercial  loans secured by similar types of collateral.  The fair value of the
Company's standby letters of credit at June 30, 2003 was insignificant.

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
TrustCo Bank Corp NY:

We have reviewed the consolidated statement of condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY
and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2003, and the related consolidated
statements  of income for the three month and six month  periods  ended June 30,
2003 and 2002, and the  consolidated  statements of cash flows for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. These  consolidated  financial  statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A review  of  interim  financial
information  consists  principally of applying analytical  procedures and making
inquiries of persons  responsible  for financial and accounting  matters.  It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally
accepted  auditing  standards,  the  objective of which is the  expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly,  we do
not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material  modifications that should
be made to the consolidated  financial  statements referred to above for them to
be in conformity with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United
States of America.

We have  previously  audited,  in accordance with auditing  standards  generally
accepted  in the  United  States  of  America,  the  consolidated  statement  of
condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and  subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002, and
the related consolidated  statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report
dated  January  17,  2003,  we  expressed  an   unqualified   opinion  on  those
consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in
the accompanying  consolidated statement of condition as of December 31, 2002 is
fairly  stated,  in all  material  respects,  in  relation  to the  consolidated
statement of condition from which it has been derived.

                              TrustCo Bank Corp NY
                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                                  June 30, 2003

The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the financial condition
and results of  operations  of TrustCo  Bank Corp NY  ("TrustCo"  or  "Company")
during  the  three  month  and six  month  periods  ended  June 30,  2003,  with
comparisons to 2002 as applicable.  Net interest  income and net interest margin
are  presented  on a fully  taxable  equivalent  basis in this  discussion.  The
consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, as well as the 2002
Annual Report to  Shareholders  should be read in conjunction  with this review.
Amounts  in  prior  period   consolidated   interim  financial   statements  are
reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.

Forward-looking Statements
Statements  included  in this review and in future  filings by TrustCo  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  in TrustCo's press  releases,  and in oral
statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer,  which are
not historical or current facts, are "forward-looking  statements" made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results  to differ  materially  from  historical  earnings  and those  presently
anticipated or projected.  TrustCo wishes to caution  readers not to place undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
made. The following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected
and in the  future  could  affect  TrustCo's  actual  results,  and could  cause
TrustCo's actual financial  performance to differ materially from that expressed
in any forward-looking  statement:  (1) credit risk, (2) interest rate risk, (3)
competition,  (4)  changes in the  regulatory  environment,  and (5)  changes in
general business and economic trends. The foregoing list should not be construed
as exhaustive,  and the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently  revise
any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

Overview
TrustCo recorded net income of $13.4 million,  or $0.178 of diluted earnings per
share for the three  months  ended June 30,  2003,  as compared to net income of
$12.6  million or $0.169 of  diluted  earnings  per share in the same  period in
2002. For the six month period ended June 30, 2003,  TrustCo recorded net income
of $26.6 million,  or $0.354 of diluted earnings per share, as compared to $24.9
million,  or $0.335 of diluted  earnings per share for the comparable  period in
2002.

The primary factors accounting for the year to date increases are:

- - A $35.0 million  increase in the average  balance of interest  earning  assets
from $2.56 billion at June 30, 2002 to $2.60 billion at June 30, 2003,

- - A reduction  in the  provision  for loan losses from $820  thousand in 2002 to
$600 thousand in 2003,


                                       11



- - An increase in total  noninterest  income from $14.5  million in 2002 to $15.4
million in 2003.  Within this  category net  securities  transactions  were $3.8
million of gains in 2002 compared to $5.3 million in 2003, and

- - A  reduction  in total  non-interest  expense  from $26.1  million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 to $25.2 million for the comparable period in 2003.

Partially  offsetting  these year to date positive factors was a decrease in net
interest  margin  from  4.00% in 2002 to 3.98%  in 2003 and a  decrease  of $9.5
million in average demand deposit accounts from $190.3 million in 2002 to $180.7
million in 2003.

Following this discussion is the table "Distribution of Assets,  Liabilities and
Shareholders'  Equity:  Interest Rates and Interest  Differential" which gives a
detailed  breakdown of TrustCo's  average  interest  earning assets and interest
bearing  liabilities for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002.

Asset/Liability Management
The Company strives to generate superior earnings  capabilities through a mix of
core  deposits,  funding a prudent mix of earning  assets.  This is, in its most
fundamental  form,  the  essence of  asset/liability  management.  Additionally,
TrustCo  attempts to maintain  adequate  liquidity and reduce the sensitivity of
net interest  income to changes in interest  rates to an acceptable  level while
enhancing profitability both on a short-term and long-term basis.

The following  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis for the second quarter and
first six months of 2003 compared to the  comparable  periods in 2002 is greatly
affected by the change in interest  rates in the  marketplace  in which  TrustCo
competes. Included in the 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders is a description of
the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 2002 compared to 2001.
Most of the same market  factors  discussed in the 2002 Annual Report also had a
significant impact on 2003 results.

TrustCo competes with other financial  service providers based upon many factors
including  quality of  service,  convenience  of  operations,  and rates paid on
deposits and charged on loans. The absolute level of interest rates,  changes in
rates and  customers'  expectations  with  respect to the  direction of interest
rates have a significant  impact on the volume of loan and deposit  originations
in any particular period.

Interest  rates have changed  dramatically  in response to the slowing  economic
conditions.  One of the  most  important  interest  rates  utilized  to  control
economic  activity is the "federal funds" rate. This is the rate utilized within
the banking  system for  overnight  borrowings  for the highest  credit  quality
institutions.  The federal funds rate was 1.75% at the beginning of 2002 and had
decreased  by 50bp to 1.25% by the end of 2002 . In 2003 the federal  funds rate
was reduced another 25bp to 1.00% during the second  quarter.  The federal funds
rate affects the level of other interest rates in the economy, most specifically
the prime  rate.  The  prime  rate was  4.75% at the  beginning  of 2002 and had
decreased  50bp to 4.25% by the end of 2002.  Similar  to the change in 2003 for
the  federal  funds  rate,  the prime  rate was  reduced  to 4.00% in the second
quarter of 2003.


                                       12



Earning Assets
Total  average  interest  earning  assets  increased  from $2.61 billion for the
second  quarter of 2002 to $2.62  billion in 2003 with an average yield of 6.26%
in 2002 and 5.58% in 2003.  Income on earning assets  decreased during this same
time-period from $40.8 million in 2002 to $36.5 million in 2003.

For the six month period ended June 30,  2003,  the average  balance of interest
earning  assets  was  $2.60  billion,  an  increase  of $35.0  million  from the
comparable  period  in 2002 of $2.56  billion.  The  average  yield on  interest
earning  assets was 6.39% for 2002,  compared to 5.70% in 2003.  The increase in
the average  balance of earning  assets was more than offset by the  decrease in
the yield earned on these assets,  thereby  resulting in a reduction in interest
income of $7.8 million to $73.8 million for the six months of 2003,  compared to
$81.6 million for the six months of 2002.

Loans
The average  balance of loans for the second  quarter was $1.31  billion in 2003
and $1.53 billion in 2002.  The yield on loans  decreased  from 7.42% in 2002 to
6.96% in 2003. The combination of the lower average balances and the lower rates
resulted in a decrease in the interest income on loans by $5.6 million.

For the six-month  period ended June 30, 2003,  the average  balance in the loan
portfolio was $1.35 billion compared to $1.53 billion for the comparable  period
in 2002.  The average yield  decreased  from 7.46% in 2002 to 7.04% in 2003. The
decrease  in the  average  balance  of loans  outstanding  and the impact of the
decrease in the yield resulted in total interest income of $57.0 million in 2002
compared to $47.3 million in 2003.

During  the  second  quarter  and  first  half of 2003 the  balance  of the loan
portfolio  decreased  primarily  as a result of  residential  mortgages,  though
decreases  were  also  noted  in  other  loan  areas.  The  average  balance  of
residential mortgage loans for the first half of 2002 was $1.18 billion compared
to $982.7 million in 2003, a decrease of 16.8%. The average yield on residential
mortgage  loans  decreased  by 26 basis  points  compared  to 2002.  The average
balance of residential  mortgage loans for the second quarter of 2003 was $939.5
million compared to $1.18 billion for the comparable period in 2002. The average
yield  decreased to 7.26% for the second  quarter of 2003  compared to 7.54% for
2002.  TrustCo  actively markets the residential loan products within its market
territory.  Mortgage  loan rates are affected by a number of factors  including,
the prime rate, the federal funds rate,  rates set by competitors  and secondary
market  participants.  As noted  earlier,  market  interest  rates have  dropped
significantly  as a result of  national  economic  policy in the United  States.
During this time TrustCo  aggressively  marketed the unique features of its loan
products thereby  differentiating  itself from other lenders.  These differences
include extremely low closing costs,  quick turnaround on credit  decisions,  no
required  escrow  payments or private  mortgage  insurance and the fact that the
loans are held in portfolio.


                                       13



The decrease in the  residential  mortgage loan  portfolio is the result of loan
refinancing  to  other  institutions  by  customers.  This  occurred  in all the
categories of the loan  portfolio but primarily in the  residential  real estate
loan area. The prepayment in the residential loan portfolio  reflects the effect
of the  historically  low  interest  rates  experienced  recently in the 30-year
mortgage  loans market.  As noted earlier,  certain  mortgage loan customers are
attracted to TrustCo's  loan  products as a result of the low closing  costs and
lack of escrow  requirements.  However,  in light of the  strategic  decision by
TrustCo to retain loans in the  portfolio,  its rates are  somewhat  higher than
rates offered by lenders that sell loans in the secondary  market,  contributing
to the recent decline in the portfolio balance.

The impact of the decrease in the benchmark  interest rate indexes  (prime rate,
federal funds rate, etc.) is apparent in the decrease in the yield earned in the
commercial  and home equity loan  portfolios.  The average yield earned on these
loan  types in 2003 were 57 bp and 62 bp,  respectively  less  than the  average
yields earned in the first six months of 2002.

The average  balance of home equity lines of credit  increased to $150.9 million
in the  second  quarter of 2003  compared  to $126.7  million in the  comparable
period in 2002.  The average yield during this time period was 4.10% in 2003 and
4.74% in 2002. The six month results reflected these same trends with an average
balance in 2003 of $146.6  million and $125.1 million in 2002. The average yield
for the six  months of 2003 was 4.16% and 4.78% for 2002.  The  increase  in the
average  balance of home  equity  lines of credit  reflect  consumers  desire to
obtain the lowest cost financing vehicles available.  Trustco's home equity line
of credit is at the prime rate  during an  introductory  period and then  floats
with prime over the life of the line.  Closing costs are waived for consumers so
long as the line remains active and utilized for a set period of time.

Securities Available for Sale
During the second quarter of 2003, the average  balance of securities  available
for sale was $832.5  million with a yield of 5.89%,  compared to $566.3  million
for the second  quarter of 2002 with a yield of 7.20%.  The  combination  of the
increase  in average  balance  offset by the  decrease  in the yields  caused an
increase in interest  income on securities  available for sale of  approximately
$2.1 million between the second quarter of 2003 and 2002.

The six-month  results  reflect the same  principal  trends noted for the second
quarter.  The total average balance of securities  available for sale during the
six months of 2003 was $741.3 million with an average yield of 6.30% compared to
an average balance for 2002 of $554.8 million with a yield of 7.37%.

The securities  available for sale  portfolio  balance  fluctuates  because this
portfolio  is used to help  fund or  retain  funding  for the loan  and  deposit
portfolios.   Funding  for  loan  growth   either  comes  from  new  sources  of
deposits/borrowings or through the reallocation of existing assets.


                                       14


During  2003  management  decided to invest  some of the  additional  cash flows
coming  from the loan  portfolio  refinancings  and deposit  increases  into the
securities  available for sale portfolio so as to provide interest income and as
a means of  utilizing  these  funds  other than in  overnight  investments.  The
securities  purchased during this time period have been primarily federal agency
bonds and municipal  securities  consistent  with the Company's past  practices.
While this strategy  provides the Company with  additional  interest income over
the federal  funds rate,  it does subject  these  assets to a greater  degree of
interest rate risk. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2003, overall
general  interest  rates  have  increased  as  speculation  continues  as to the
direction and intensity of the national economic recovery.  These general market
interest rate changes  impact the market value of the  securities  available for
sale  portfolio  thereby  creating  a  reduction  in  the  overall   portfolio's
unrealized   gain  position  and  lowering  the  Company's   accumulated   other
comprehensive income (a component of shareholders' equity).

Federal Funds Sold and Other Short-Term Investments
During the second quarter of 2003, the average balance of federal funds sold and
other short-term  investments was $475.5 million with a yield of 1.25%, compared
to the average  balance for the three month period ended June 30, 2002 of $512.9
million  with an  average  yield of 1.78%.  The $37.4  million  decrease  in the
average  balance,  combined  with the 53 basis  points  decrease  in the average
yield,  resulted  in total  interest  income  on  federal  funds  sold and other
short-term  investments  of $1.5  million for 2003  compared to $2.3 million for
2002.

During the six-month  period ended June 30, 2003, the average balance of federal
funds sold and other  short-term  investments was $507.8 million with a yield of
1.25%  compared to an average  balance of $473.6 million in 2002 with an average
yield of 1.77%.

The increase in average federal funds balances and other short-term  investments
between  the first half of 2002 and 2003  reflects  a decision  to hold funds in
overnight deposits versus making longer-term  investments in loans or securities
available for sale. The decision to retain  additional  liquidity in the form of
federal  fund  balances  and  other  short-term  investments  is a result of the
relatively  low interest  rates in the market for such  alternative  investments
while keeping the balances  available  for  investment  once rates  change.  The
effect of this decision by TrustCo is to have  significantly more funds invested
in the federal funds portfolio at significantly lower interest rates during 2003
with  expectation that  opportunities  for reinvestment at higher levels will be
available  later in 2003.  During the second quarter of 2003 the average balance
of federal funds sold and other short-term  investments decreased as a result of
investments made in the securities available for sale portfolios and funding for
the outflow in short-term  borrowings.  As noted in the discussion of securities
available for sale,  general market interest rates have increased since June 30,
2003 and  therefore  provide the  opportunity  for further  reinvestment  of the
available funds.


                                       15



Funding Opportunities
TrustCo utilizes various funding sources to support its earning asset portfolio.
The vast  majority  of the  Company's  funding  comes from  traditional  deposit
vehicles such as savings, interest bearing checking and time deposit accounts.

During the quarter,  total interest  bearing  liabilities were $2.26 billion for
both 2003 and 2002.  The rate paid on total  interest  bearing  liabilities  was
2.68% for the second quarter of 2002 and 1.84% for 2003.  Total interest expense
for the second quarter decreased approximately $4.8 million to $10.3 million for
2003 compared to $15.1 million for 2002.

Similar  changes in interest  bearing  liabilities  were noted for the six-month
period as was discussed for the quarter. Total interest bearing liabilities were
$2.25  billion for the  six-month  periods ended June 30, 2003 and $2.22 billion
for 2002. The rate paid on total interest bearing liabilities was 2.75% for 2002
and 1.97% for 2003 and total  interest  expense  was $30.3  million  in 2002 and
$22.1 million in 2003.

Demand deposit balances decreased $3.0 million during the second quarter of 2003
compared to the second quarter of 2002.  Demand deposits averaged $190.9 million
in 2002 and $188.0  million in 2003.  On a year to date basis,  demand  deposits
were $190.3 million in 2002 compared to $180.7 million in 2003.

Interest  bearing  deposit  balances have  increased  from $1.98 billion for the
first  six  months  of 2002 to  $2.12  billion  for  2003.  Each of the  deposit
categories  has also  increased  with the most notable being the increase in the
average  balance of savings  accounts which averaged  $743.2 million in 2003 and
$685.4 million in 2002.  TrustCo has experienced a deposit inflow primarily as a
result of customers moving funds back into the banking system from the stock and
bond market and from TrustCo's new branch openings.

Short-term  borrowings  for the quarter were $124.4  million in 2003 compared to
$244.6 million in 2002. The average cost decreased  during this time period from
1.38% to  0.83%  for the  second  quarter  of 2003.  The  largest  component  of
short-term  borrowing is the Trustco Short Term  Investments  Account,  which is
available  only to Trustco  Trust  Department  customers.  The  balances in this
account are a result of trust  customers  temporarily  investing  their funds in
money market type instruments while waiting for some stability in the equity and
bond  markets.  During the later part of the second  quarter of 2003  management
decided to have the Trust  Department  move the funds in the Trustco  Short-Term
Investment Account to a third party money market fund. For the second quarter of
2003 the Trustco  Short-Term  Investment Account had an average balance of $55.9
million. Historically, the Bank invested the funds received from this account in
overnight  investments  and paid a money market rate tied to  independent  third
party money market funds.  Consequently  the net spread (the difference  between
the yield earned on the investments  and paid on the account) and,  accordingly,
the income  generated  was very low.  In an offset to support  the net  interest
margin, these assets and liabilities were liquidated and disposed off.


                                       16


Net Interest Income
Taxable equivalent net interest income increased to $26.1 million for the second
quarter of 2003. The net interest spread  increased 16 basis points between 2002
and 2003 and the net interest margin increased by 6 basis points.

Net  interest  income  for the first six  months of 2003 was $51.8  million,  an
increase of approximately $382 thousand over the $51.4 million for the first six
months of 2002.  Net interest  spread  increased 9 basis points to 3.73% and net
interest margin decreased 2 basis points to 3.98% for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2003, compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2002.

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming  assets include  nonperforming  loans,  which are those loans in a
nonaccrual status,  loans that have been restructured,  and loans past due three
payments or more,  and still  accruing  interest.  Also included in the total of
nonperforming   assets  are  foreclosed  real  estate   properties,   which  are
categorized, as real estate owned.

Impaired loans are considered to be those  commercial and commercial real estate
loans in a nonaccrual status and loans  restructured since January 1, 1995, when
the accounting standards required the identification,  measurement and reporting
of impaired  loans.  The  following  will describe the  nonperforming  assets of
TrustCo as of June 30, 2003.

Nonperforming  loans:  Total  nonperforming  loans were $3.9 million at June 30,
2003, a decrease from the $6.5 million of nonperforming  loans at June 30, 2002.
There were no  nonaccrual  loans at June 30, 2003 down from the $916 thousand at
June 30, 2002. Restructured loans were $5.5 million at June 30, 2002 compared to
$3.9  million at June 30, 2003.  There were no loans past due three  payments or
more and still  accruing  interest at June 30, 2003 and there were $151 thousand
at June 30, 2002.

All of the  $3.9  million  of  nonperforming  loans  as of  June  30,  2003  are
restructured residential real estate or retail consumer loans. During the 1990's
the majority of  nonperforming  loans were  concentrated  in the  commercial and
commercial  real  estate  portfolios.  Since  2000,  there has been a  continued
shifting in the  components  of Trustco's  problem  loans and  charge-offs  from
commercial and commercial real estate to the residential  real estate and retail
consumer loan portfolios. Contributing factors to this shift include:

- - The overall emphasis within TrustCo for residential real estate  originations,
` The relatively  weak economic  environment in the upstate New York  territory,
and
- - The reduction in real estate values in TrustCo's market area that has occurred
since the middle of the 1990's,  thereby  causing a reduction in the  collateral
that supports the real estate loans.


                                       17


Consumer  defaults and bankruptcies  have increased  dramatically  over the last
several  years and this has lead to an increase  in  defaults on loans.  TrustCo
strives to identify borrowers that are experiencing  financial  difficulties and
to work aggressively with them to minimize losses or exposures.

Total impaired loans at June 30, 2003 of $3.7 million, consisted of restructured
residential  loans.  During the first six  months of 2003,  there have been $134
thousand of commercial  loan charge offs,  $290 thousand of consumer loan charge
offs and $5.33  million of  mortgage  loan  charge  offs as  compared  with $837
thousand of commercial  loan charge offs,  $288 thousand of consumer loan charge
offs and $2.11  million of mortgage  loan charge offs in the first six months of
2002.  Recoveries  during the first six-month periods have been $2.03 million in
2003 and $1.17 million in 2002.

Real estate  owned:  There was no real estate owned as of June 30, 2003 and $268
thousand at June 30, 2002.

Allowance  for loan  losses:  The  balance of the  allowance  for loan losses is
maintained at a level that is, in management's  judgment,  representative of the
amount of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.

At June 30,  2003,  the  allowance  for loan  losses  was $49.5  million,  which
represents a decrease  from the $52.6  million in the  allowance at December 31,
2002. The allowance  represents  3.88% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2003
compared to 3.68% at June 30, 2002.  The  provision  charged to expense was $300
thousand for the second quarter of 2003 and 2002. For the six-month periods, the
provision  charged to expense was $820  thousand for 2002 and $600  thousand for
2003.

In deciding on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management reviews
the current  nonperforming loan portfolio as well as loans that are past due and
not yet categorized as nonperforming for reporting  purposes.  Also, there are a
number of other factors that are taken into consideration, including:

- - The  magnitude  and nature of the recent loan charge offs and the  movement of
charge offs to the residential real estate loan portfolio,

- - The change in the loan portfolio and the  implication  that has in relation to
the economic climate in the bank's business territory,

- - Changes in  underwriting  standards in the  competitive  environment  in which
TrustCo operates,

- - Significant growth in the level of losses associated with bankruptcies and the
time period needed to foreclose, secure and dispose of collateral, and


                                       18



- - The  relatively  weak economic  environment  in the upstate New York territory
combined with  declining real estate prices in many of the  communities  Trustco
serves.

Consumer bankruptcies and defaults in general have risen significantly since the
1990's.  This trend appears to be continuing as a result of economic  strife and
the relative ease of access by consumers to additional credit. Job growth in the
upstate New York area has been modest to declining  and there  continues to be a
shifting of higher paying jobs in  manufacturing  and government to lower paying
service jobs.

Management  continues  to monitor  these and other asset  quality  trends in the
review of allowance adequacy.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
TrustCo  seeks to obtain  favorable  sources of funding and to maintain  prudent
levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy varied liquidity demands.  TrustCo's
earnings  performance  and strong capital  position  enable the Company to raise
funds  easily in the  marketplace  and to secure  new  sources of  funding.  The
Company actively manages its liquidity  through target ratios  established under
its liquidity policies.  Continual monitoring of both historical and prospective
ratios  allows  TrustCo to employ  strategies  necessary  to  maintain  adequate
liquidity.  Management  has also defined  various  degrees of adverse  liquidity
situations,   which  could  potentially  occur,  and  has  prepared  appropriate
contingency plans should such a situation arise.

Noninterest Income
Total  noninterest  income for the three  months  ended  June 30,  2003 was $7.5
million,  a decrease of $227 thousand from the comparable period in 2002. During
the 2003  period,  the Company  recorded  net  securities  gains of $2.2 million
compared to $1.9  million for the  comparable  period in 2002.  Excluding  these
securities  transactions,  noninterest income decreased from $5.8 million in the
second quarter of 2002 to $5.3 million for the comparable period in 2003.

Total  noninterest  income was $15.4  million for six months of 2003 compared to
$14.5 million for 2002.  Excluding net securities gains of $5.3 million and $3.8
million,  the balances for 2003 and 2002 would have been $10.0 million and $10.7
million respectively.

Net securities  transactions  have been  significant  for both the six-month and
quarterly  results in 2003 and 2002.  The level of these  transactions  reflects
management's decision to liquidate certain investments as interest rates were at
historically  low levels and  therefore  the gains on security  sales were high.
These  sales  provide  the  Company  with  additional  liquidity  for  potential
reinvestment at higher  interest rates later in 2003.  Management also has begun
liquidating certain of the equity investments that had accumulated over the last
several years as part of the expansion program to acquire other companies.


                                       19



Trust  department  income  decreased  by $477  thousand to $1.6  million for the
second  quarter  of 2003.  The  reduction  in trust fee  income is the result of
market  conditions  that have negatively  affected the underlying  trust assets.
Trust  department  assets  under  management  were $916 million at June 30, 2003
compared to $1.07 billion at June 30, 2002.

Noninterest Expenses
Total  noninterest  expense  for the  second  quarter of 2003 and 2002 was $12.6
million and $13.7 million  respectively.  For the six-months ended June 30, 2003
and 2002,  total  noninterest  expense  was  $25.2  million  and  $26.1  million
respectively.

Salaries and employee  benefits cost  decreased from $5.5 million for the second
quarter of 2002 to $5.1 million for the comparable period in 2003. The reduction
in salaries and employee  benefits is the result of the  reduction in salary due
to the retirement of the former Chief Executive Officer.

Benefit  costs also  decreased  as a result of changes  made to post  retirement
benefits wherein retirees will assume increased levels of premium payment.

Similar  reductions  in salaries and benefits  were also noted for the six month
period  ended June 30,  2003  compared  to 2002.  Total  salaries  and  employee
benefits were $10.3 million for 2003 and $11.3 million for 2002.

Net occupancy  expense  increased  $125 thousand for the second  quarter of 2003
compared  to 2002 due  primarily  to the new branch  operations  and the cost of
utilities.

Equipment  expense  decreased  approximately  $125  thousand  during  the second
quarter of 2003 compared to 2002 as a result of reduced  computer expense due to
contracts  not  being  renewed  in  2003  as a  result  of the  data  processing
conversion. On a year to date basis equipment expense increased by $383 thousand
to $1.9 million due to  additional  branches and the  write-off of equipment and
software no longer utilized.

Professional service expenses for the second quarter of 2003 were $777 thousand,
a decrease of $271  thousand  from the  comparable  period in 2002. On a year to
date basis,  professional service expenses were $1.4 million in 2003 compared to
$1.7 million in 2002. Included in the 2002 expense accounts were additional fees
paid for computer  consultants to assist in the conversion.  Those expenses were
not incurred in 2003.

Charitable  contributions expense is down approximately $1.0 million as a result
of an additional  contribution made in the second quarter of 2002 in recognition
of the 100 year  anniversary of the Company.  This additional  contribution  was
made in the form of a donation  of  appreciated  stock to assist in funding  the
operating  cost of a  not-for-profit  activity  located in the Capital  District
region.

Outsourced  services  increased from $845 thousand in the second quarter of 2002
to  $1.9  million  for the  second  quarter  of  2003.  On a year to date  basis
outsourced  services were $3.1 million in 2003 compared to $1.0 million in 2002.
These costs are for data  processing,  item  processing  and  certain  back room
operations  that were  transferred to a third party vendor in the fourth quarter
of 2002.


                                       20


Income Taxes
In the second quarter of 2003 and 2002, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of
$5.6 million and $5.0 million  respectively.  This  resulted in an effective tax
rate of 29.5% for 2003 and 28.4% for 2002.  For the  six-months  of 2003,  total
income tax expense was $11.0 million compared to $10.4 million for 2002.

Capital Resources
Consistent with its long-term goal of operating a sound and profitable financial
organization,  TrustCo strives to maintain strong capital ratios.  New issues of
equity  securities  have  not been  required  since  traditionally,  most of its
capital  requirements are met through the capital retained in the Company (after
the dividends on the common stock).

Total  shareholders'  equity at June 30, 2003 was $234.4 million,  a decrease of
$416 thousand from the year-end of 2002 balance of $234.8 million. The change in
the  shareholders'  equity  between  year-end  2002 and June 30, 2003  primarily
reflects the net income  retained by TrustCo,  the proceeds  from shares  issued
upon the exercise of stock options, a $1.2 million increase in accumulated other
comprehensive income, less approximately $10.4 million increase in the amount of
treasury stock.

TrustCo  declared  dividends of $0.300 per share during the first  six-months of
2003 and 2002.  These  resulted in a dividend  payout ratio of 83.6% in 2003 and
86.8% in 2002. The Company achieved the following  capital ratios as of June 30,
2003 and 2002.

In addition,  at June 30, 2003 and 2002, the consolidated equity to total assets
ratio (excluding the mark to market effect of securities available for sale) was
7.76% and 6.92%,  respectively  compared to a minimum  regulatory  guideline  of
4.00%.

Critical Accounting Policies:

Pursuant to recent SEC  guidance,  management  of the Company is  encouraged  to
evaluate and disclose those  accounting  policies that are judged to be critical
policies - those most  important  to the  portrayal of the  Company's  financial
condition and results,  and that require  management's most difficult subjective
or complex judgments.


                                       21



Management  considers the accounting  policy  relating to the allowance for loan
losses to be a critical  accounting  policy  given the inherent  uncertainty  in
evaluating  the levels of the  allowance  required to cover credit losses in the
portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of
operations.  Included  in  Note  1  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements
contained in the Company's  2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K is a description  of
the  significant  accounting  policies  that are  utilized by the Company in the
preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As detailed in the Annual  Report to  Shareholders  as of December  31, 2002 the
Company is subject to interest  rate risk as it is  principal  market  risk.  As
noted in detail throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis for the six
months  ended  June 30,  2003 the  Company  continues  to  respond to changes in
interest  rates in a fashion  to  position  the  Company to meet both short term
earning  goals but to also allow the  Company to respond to changes in  interest
rates in the  future.  The  average  balance  of  federal  funds  sold and other
short-term  investments  has  increased  from  $473.6  million in 2002 to $507.8
million  in  2003.  These  increases  in  federal  funds  sold  and  short  term
investments  position the Company with added funds  available for  investment in
the securities and loan portfolios if rates rise.  Investment  opportunity began
to be  realized  in the  later  part of the  second  quarter.  Management  began
investing  funds from  federal  funds sold and the other  short-term  investment
portfolio into the securities available for sale and loan portfolios. This trend
continued into the third quarter of 2003.


Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

The  Company  maintains  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as that term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934
("Exchange Act") designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
the  reports  that the  Company  files or  submits  under  the  Exchange  Act is
recorded,  processed,  summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the rules and forms of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  Based upon
their  evaluation  of  those  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  the  Chief
Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded, as of the end of
the period covered by this report,  that the Company's  disclosure  controls and
procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
the reports the Company  files and submits  under the  Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure  controls and procedures,  management
recognized  that any controls and  procedures,  no matter how well  designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives,  and  management  necessarily  was required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the  cost-benefit  relationship of possible  controls and procedures.
Further,  no  evaluation  of a  cost-effective  system of  controls  can provide
absolute  assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will
be detected.


                                       25



As of the end of the period  covered by this report,  there have been no changes
in internal  control over financial  reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) of the Exchange  Act) during the quarter to which this report  relates
that have materially  affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
internal control over financial reporting.

     of a material fact or omit to state a material  fact  necessary to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements
     were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the  period  covered by this
     quarterly report;

     3. Based on my knowledge,  the financial  statements,  and other  financial
     information  included  in  this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material
     respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

     4. The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) for the registrant and have:

          a) designed such disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
          supervision,  to ensure  that  material  information  relating  to the
          registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
          us by others within those entities,  particularly during the period in
          which this report is being prepared;

          b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
          and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions  about the

          of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

          c)  disclosed in this report any change in the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
          most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's  fourth fiscal quarter in
          the case of an annual  report)  that has  materially  affected,  or is
          reasonably  likely to materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting; and



                                       30




     5. The registrant's other certifying  officers and I have disclosed,  based
     on our most recent evaluation,  to the registrant's  auditors and the audit
     committee of  registrant's  board of directors (or persons  performing  the
     equivalent function):

          a) all significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
          or operation of internal  control over financial  reporting  which are
          reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect the  registrant's  ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

          b) any fraud,  whether or not material,  that  involves  management or
          other  employees  who  have a  significant  role  in the  registrant's
          internal controls over financial reporting.
