          Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
                           (Unaudited)




1.   Financial Statement Presentation

     In the opinion of the management of TrustCo Bank Corp NY, the
     accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial
     Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
     fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1994, and the
     results of operations and the cash flows for the three
     months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.  The accompanying
     Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in
     conjunction with TrustCo Bank Corp NY's Consolidated year end
     Financial Statements, including notes thereto, which are
     included in TrustCo Bank Corp NY's 1993 annual report to
     shareholders on Form 10-K.

2.   Securities Available for Sale and Investment Securities

     On January 1, 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS No. 115) "Accounting for
     Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
     Management determines the appropriate classification of
     securities at the time of purchase.  If management has the
     positive intent and ability to hold debt securities to
     maturity, they are classified as investment securities held
     to maturity and are stated at amortized cost.  If securities
     are purchased for the purpose of selling them in the near
     term, they are classified as a trading securities and are
     reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and
     losses reflected in current earnings.  All other debt and
     equity securities are classified as securities available for
     sale and are reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains
     or losses reported, net of income taxes, as a separate
     component of shareholders' equity.  Gains and losses on
     disposition of all investment securities are based on the
     adjusted cost of the specific security sold.

     Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 115, the Company transferred the
     following securities into the "available for sale" category
     from the "held to maturity" category:



          (in $ thousands)
                                          
          US Treasury & Agency               $229,406
          Mortgage Backed Securities          142,119
          Other                                26,929

                                             $398,454

 
     At January 1, 1994, the net unrealized gain on securities
     available for sale, net of the income tax effect, was
     $12,459,000.  At March 31, 1994, the net unrealized gain on
     securities available for sale, net of the income tax effect
     was $335,000, representing a $12,124,000 decrease from January
     1, 1994.

     Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 115, securities available
     for sale were carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair
     value.

     The Company also transferred its $2,106,000 portfolio of
     equity securities from trading assets to the available for
     sale category.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

KPMG Peat Marwick
Certified Public Accountants
74 North Pearl Street
Albany, New York 12207

The Board of Directors and Shareholders TrustCo Bank Corp NY:

We have reviewed the consolidated statement of financial condition
of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1994, and
the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.

A review of interim financial information consists principally of
obtaining an understanding of the system for the preparation of
interim financial information, applying analytical review
procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is
substantially less in scope than an audit 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 generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated interim financial
statements, effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" which changed its method
of accounting for certain investments in debt and equity
securities.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated statement of financial
condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1993, 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 26,
1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth
in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition
as of December 31, 1993, is fairly presented, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial
condition from which it has been derived.

$4.8 million for the first quarter of 1993 and $5.4 million for the
fourth quarter of 1993.  Per share earnings were $.39, $.36 and
$.40, respectively, on average equivalent shares of 13,534,000
outstanding during the first quarter of 1994, 13,424,000 during the
first quarter 1993 and 13,523,000 outstanding during the fourth
quarter of 1993.

     Annualized return on average assets was 1.08% for the first
quarter 1994, compared with 1.00% last year.  The annualized return
on average equity from operations for 1994's first quarter was
16.3% compared to 16.0% for 1993's first quarter.  In January, the
Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities."  Return on equity for the first quarter of
1994, after considering the market value adjustment, was 15.0%.

     Interest income was $32.7 million for the first quarter of
1994, a decrease of 4.5% from the first quarter of 1993.  This was
the result of a 4.8% increase in average earning assets offset by
a 66 basis point decrease in average interest rate to 6.9%.  With
the exception of overnight funds which increased 29 basis points,
the decrease in rates was spread across all product lines.  Most
of the increase in earning assets came from growth in the
residential mortgage portfolio.  Compared with the fourth quarter
of 1993, interest income increased very slightly as average earning
assets increased 2.3% while average interest rates decreased 9
basis points.

     Interest expense was $14.7 million in the first quarter 1994
compared with $14.9 million in the fourth quarter 1993 and $16.1
million for 1993's first quarter.  Decreases between the first
quarter 1994 and fourth quarter 1993 were due to a 3 basis point
drop in average rate partially offset by a 1.7% increase in average
interest bearing liabilities.  Decreases from the first quarter
1993 were due to a 42 basis point drop in average rate, partially
offset by a 2.5% increase in average interest bearing liabilities.

      Net interest income was $18.0 million for the first quarter
of 1994, compared with $17.6 million from the fourth quarter of
1993 and $18.1 million from the first quarter of 1993.  The net
interest margins for the respective periods of time were 3.78%,
3.81% and 3.98%.

     Average federal funds sold of $155.6 million decreased 13.1%
from the fourth quarter 1993 as the Company sought to move funds
out of federal funds sold into longer term residential mortgages.
Compared with the first quarter of 1993, average federal funds sold
increased 15.0%.

     The average balance of securities available for sale was
$636.5 million for the first quarter of 1994, compared with $110.3
million for securities held for sale in the first quarter of 1993.

     At the date of adoption of SFAS No. 115, the Company
transferred $398.5 million of securities into the available for
sale category from the held to maturity category.  Management
sought to maximize the Company's flexibility in being able to
improve its earnings in the face of rising interest rates and a
looming market correction.  As interest rates stabilize over the
coming months, the Company expects to increase its purchase of held
to maturity securities.

     The Company also transferred $2.1 million in equity
securities, formerly designated as "trading assets" to the
available for sale category, as the Company does not intend to
activity trade these securities.  Additional information about
securities available for sale and securities held to maturity is
contained in Note 2.

     Average balances of investment securities was $32.3 million
for the first quarter 1994, compared with $543.5 million a year
ago.  The change in average balances reflects the transfer of
securities to the available for sale category upon the adoption
of SFAS No. 115.

     Average balances of loans, net of unearned income, increased
5.1% over the first quarter of 1993 and increased 3.9% over the
fourth quarter 1993.  Almost all of the loan growth came from
increased first mortgages on residential property.  The growth was
partially the result of refinancing activity as first mortgage
rates dropped into the 6% to 7% range locally, and partially the
result of the Company's positioning of its first mortgage product
in the local market.

     Residential fixed term second mortgages were affected by
refinancing activity.  Average balances of these loans were $104.9
million for the current quarter, down 8.1% from the previous
quarter and down 14.0% from the first quarter 1993.  Revolving,
open-ended, variable rate home equity credit lines averaged $201.2
million for the quarter.  This compares to an average balance of
$204.1 million from the previous quarter and $197.4 million from
the first quarter 1993.

     At the end of the first quarter 1994, non-performing loans are
0.48% of the loan portfolio, compared to 0.34% at March 31, 1993
and 0.18% at the end of the fourth quarter 1993.  Real estate
owned, including in-substance foreclosure, amounted to $15.4
million at March 31, 1994, down $3.8 million from $19.2 million
recorded at the end of the fourth quarter 1993.  This decrease was
the result of foreclosure actions initiated in earlier periods
being completed, and aggressive efforts to sell foreclosed
properties.  Real estate owned was $33.5 million at March 31, 1993.

     The average balance of NOW accounts, $245.4 million in the first
quarter 1994, increased 2.8% from the first quarter 1993 and was
down 0.4% from the fourth quarter 1993.  Money Market accounts
averaged $109.3 million for the current quarter, unchanged from
the fourth quarter 1993 and down 7.4% from a year ago.  Total average
interest bearing checking balances were fairly stable over the
three quarters referenced.

     Average savings account balances totaled $735.1 million for
the first quarter 1994, compared with $717.4 million in the
previous quarter and $733.9 million in the prior year.

     Average Certificates of Deposit, excluding certificates of
deposit of $100,000 or more increased 1.4% from the fourth quarter
of 1993 and 9.8% from the first quarter 1993.  Most of the growth
occurred for the 30 month CD product and was the result of the
Company's position in the local CD market.

     Total average deposits showed sustained growth, increasing
1.2% from the fourth quarter 1994 and increasing 2.8% from the
first quarter last year.

     Average certificates of deposit over $100,000 of $39.9 million
increased 27.1% from last year's first quarter and increased 10.2%
from the fourth quarter of 1993.  The Company does not rely on
brokered deposits.  All the growth in jumbo CDs was retail
oriented.

     The first quarter's provision for loan losses was $1.8
million, a 20.1% decrease from 1993's fourth quarter and 82.7%
higher than the first quarter of 1993.  At the end of the most
recent quarter the allowance for possible loan losses amounted to
$36.2 million or 3.3% of loans (net of unearned income) compared
with $28.2 million or 2.8% at March 31, 1993.  In management's
opinion, the allowance for possible loan losses is considered
adequate.

     Non interest income was $3.3 million for the first quarter
1994.  Excluding losses on sales of securities available for sale,
most of the increase was attributable to closing fees for residential
mortgages.  The Company began doing these in-house mid year 1993.
During the current quarter a $577 loss on securities available for
sale was recognized as the result of the Company's selling lower
yielding U.S. Treasury securities and purchasing securities with
higher yields.  In the corresponding quarter of 1993, the Company
recognized gains of $2.1 million.


     Non interest expense for the first quarter 1994 was $11.4
million, down from $13.0 million in the fourth quarter of 1994 and
up from $9.3 million in the first quarter 1993.  Personnel expense
was $4.7 million, $4.0 million and $4.3 million for the same
referenced periods of time.  The first quarter 1994 increase was
primarily due to normal wage increases and revamped benefits plans.

     Net occupancy expense increased $151 thousand from the first
quarter of 1993, primarily as the result of snow removal and higher
fuel consumption due to the severe weather in the Northeast.
Equipment expense and professional services expense declined
modestly from the prior year.  ORE expense was down from the same
quarter a year ago as a result of the lowered number of properties
held.

     Federal Deposit Insurance (FDIC) expense was $1 million in the
recent quarter, increased 0.8% from the fourth quarter of 1993, and
increased 1.9% from 1993's first quarter.  The increase in FDIC
expense is due entirely to changes in deposit volumes.  Because
Trustco Bank is a well capitalized bank, the FDIC insurance rate
has remained unchanged from 1991 levels.

     Income taxes on operations for the current quarter were $2.8
million compared with $2.8 million for the fourth quarter 1993 and
$4.8 million for the first quarter 1993.

     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted
Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan" which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1994.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 114 in 1995.

     At March 31, 1994, TrustCo had a Tier I capital to average
assets ratio of 6.7%, equity capital of 6.6% and risk-adjusted
capital to risk-adjusted assets ratio of 13.1%.  TrustCo's capital
ratios exceed the regulatory requirements for a well capitalized
bank holding company.
